Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Agreement.

On October 21, 2012, SCOLR Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “SCOLR”), and RedHill Biopharma Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“RedHill”), entered into a term sheet, effective as of October 19^th 2012, which sets forth certain terms and conditions of a contemplated license agreement between the parties.

The term sheet contemplates the negotiation of a definitive license agreement under which RedHill would obtain exclusive worldwide rights to develop, market and sell formulations of two drugs based on SCOLR’s proprietary controlled delivery technology (CDT^®). The first drug is ibuprofen, an analgesic for the treatment of pain and inflammation. The second drug is pseudoephedrine, a decongestant for the treatment of cough and cold. The term sheet sets forth the basic terms of the contemplated definitive license agreement. The terms include an agreement by RedHill to use diligent efforts to obtain regulatory approval for the two drugs and to bring them to market. The term sheet also provides for payments to SCOLR to be made at specified rates based on the aggregate net sales of the licensed products. The term sheet contemplates that SCOLR would be entitled to royalties based on net sales of the products actually received by RedHill ranging between 20% and 50% for ibuprofen, and between 8% and 15% for pseudoephedrine, depending in each case upon the territory in which such net sales are derived, RedHill’s role in the distribution of the products and certain other factors. The term sheet does not contemplate any advance or milestone payments payable to SCOLR.

The license transaction contemplated by the term sheet is subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence by RedHill, the execution of a definitive licensing agreement and certain other conditions. The term sheet includes binding provisions (i) prohibiting SCOLR from engaging in negotiations with any other party related to the products contemplated to be licensed to RedHill for a period of ninety (90) days and (ii) requiring payments to be made under certain circumstances in which either party fails to execute the definitive licensing agreement following satisfactory completion of due diligence.
