On April 26, 2013, Ceres Ventures, Inc. (the “ Company ”) entered into an Exclusive Software License Agreement (the “ License Agreement ”) with Akai Studio LLC, a Virginia limited liability corporation (“ Akai ”), pursuant to which, in exchange for payments further described in the License Agreement, Akai will grant the Company an exclusive license (the “ License Grant ”) to certain of Akai’s proprietary software and related know-how, trademarks and copyrights (the “ Licensed Materials ”).

The License Agreement has an initial term of 12 months and, subject to the Company meeting the conditions to closing contained therein, allows for the Company to extend the License Grant for an additional 6 months. The License Agreement contains an option for the Company to purchase the Licensed Materials by making certain payments. The License Agreement contains a condition to closing requiring the Company to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of BluFlow Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ BluFlow ”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.

The description of the Licensed Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the redacted Licensed Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.   In addition to filing this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company intends to file a confidential treatment request with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 24-b2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to obtain confidential treatment for certain portions of the Commitment Letter.
