RE:Teflon could you please explain
DI is a US based private company duly constituted and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, providing state-of-the-art waste management technologies to the aluminum industry. DI is duly licensed by PyroGenesis to manufacture, market, sell and distribute DROSRITE™ systems and technology to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and certain other countries in the Middle East, on an exclusive basis. All DROSRITE™ systems supplied by DI are manufactured in the USA.
As part of the exclusive arrangement between DI and PyroGenesis, DI will pay PyroGenesis approximately $20M within 12 months, plus $2.5 M per year (fixed) for the next two (2) years, plus a variable amount for the subsequent 18 years based on certain international benchmarks which we are targeting to be approx. $2.5M.
As a result of this payment schedule, PyroGenesis expects to receive a $6.4M payment towards this exclusivity arrangement within 2-4 weeks, and subsequent payments of, on average, approximately $3.4M/quarter over the next 12 months. Future payments are expected yearly in advance and quarterly as the case may be.
