Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 23, 2024, OpGen, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Agreement”) with Camtech Pte Ltd, a Singaporean family office (“Camtech”), for the sale of certain of the Company’s inventory and customer contracts for its Unyvero products. The transaction was entered into following the prior acquisition by Camtech in April 2024 of the assets from the Company’s subsidiary, Curetis GmbH (“Curetis”), as part of Curetis’ insolvency proceedings. The purchase price for the transaction is $218,000, and the transaction is expected to close in May 2024. As part of such Agreement, the Company also offered Camtech the opportunity to purchase its remaining Unyvero inventory and assets for up to an additional $176,000. Until such sale for the remaining inventory is completed, OpGen will maintain commercial operations and service support for the Unyvero systems. The foregoing transactions are part of the Company’s planned exit from its Unyvero business, as the Company continues to seek strategic alternatives.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
