<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On September 21, 2012, Interleukin Genetics, Inc. (&ldquo;Interleukin&rdquo;),
entered into a License Agreement (the &ldquo;License Agreement&rdquo;) with Access Business Group International LLC (&ldquo;ABGI&rdquo;),
an affiliate of Pyxis Innovations Inc, the Company&rsquo;s largest stockholder. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Interleukin
has granted ABGI and its affiliates a non-exclusive license to use the technology related to Interleukin&rsquo;s Weight Management
genetic test and to sell the Weight Management test in Europe, Russia and South Africa (the &ldquo;Territories&rdquo;). ABGI, or
a laboratory designated by ABGI, will be responsible for processing the tests, and Interleukin will receive a royalty for each
test sold, which royalty will increase if certain pending patent applications are issued. The License Agreement has an initial
term of five years from the date of first commercial sale of the Weight Management test under the agreement. Thereafter, the term
will automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless at least 60 days prior written notice is delivered by either party.
The agreement may be terminated by either party (i) upon material breach by the other party if the breach is not cured within 30
days or (ii) with 60 days notice in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or appointment of a receiver of or for the
other party. ABGI may terminate the License Agreement (i) at any time with 90 days notice or (ii) with ten days prior notice if
it is unable to sell the test due to regulatory issues or if it determines that there is no reasonable likelihood that a patent
related to the Weight Management test will issue in the United States.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In connection with the execution of the License Agreement, on
September 21, 2012, Interleukin and ABGI also entered into a Professional Services Agreement (the &ldquo;PSA&rdquo;) pursuant to
which Interleukin has agreed to provide services to ABGI in connection with its sale and processing of the tests within the Territories.
Services will be provided pursuant to a statement of work to be entered into from time to time between the parties. Such statements
of work will also specify the fees to be paid by ABGI to Interleukin for such services. The PSA has no set term and may be terminated
by either party (i) upon default by the other party if the default is not cured within five days (if, however, such default may
not reasonably be cured within five days, the cure period will be extended for an additional five-day period) or (ii) if the other
party ceases conducting business in the normal course, fails to pay the party&rsquo;s debts as they become due, admits insolvency,
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes the subject of any judicial or administrative proceedings in bankruptcy,
receivership, or reorganization. ABGI may also terminate the PSA at any time with 30 days notice.</P>

ITEM 1.01	Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 21, 2012, Interleukin Genetics, Inc. ("Interleukin"),
entered into a License Agreement (the "License Agreement") with Access Business Group International LLC ("ABGI"),
an affiliate of Pyxis Innovations Inc, the Company's largest stockholder. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Interleukin
has granted ABGI and its affiliates a non-exclusive license to use the technology related to Interleukin's Weight Management
genetic test and to sell the Weight Management test in Europe, Russia and South Africa (the "Territories"). ABGI, or
a laboratory designated by ABGI, will be responsible for processing the tests, and Interleukin will receive a royalty for each
test sold, which royalty will increase if certain pending patent applications are issued. The License Agreement has an initial
term of five years from the date of first commercial sale of the Weight Management test under the agreement. Thereafter, the term
will automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless at least 60 days prior written notice is delivered by either party.
The agreement may be terminated by either party (i) upon material breach by the other party if the breach is not cured within 30
days or (ii) with 60 days notice in the event of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or appointment of a receiver of or for the
other party. ABGI may terminate the License Agreement (i) at any time with 90 days notice or (ii) with ten days prior notice if
it is unable to sell the test due to regulatory issues or if it determines that there is no reasonable likelihood that a patent
related to the Weight Management test will issue in the United States.
In connection with the execution of the License Agreement, on
September 21, 2012, Interleukin and ABGI also entered into a Professional Services Agreement (the "PSA") pursuant to
which Interleukin has agreed to provide services to ABGI in connection with its sale and processing of the tests within the Territories.
Services will be provided pursuant to a statement of work to be entered into from time to time between the parties. Such statements
of work will also specify the fees to be paid by ABGI to Interleukin for such services. The PSA has no set term and may be terminated
by either party (i) upon default by the other party if the default is not cured within five days (if, however, such default may
not reasonably be cured within five days, the cure period will be extended for an additional five-day period) or (ii) if the other
party ceases conducting business in the normal course, fails to pay the party's debts as they become due, admits insolvency,
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or becomes the subject of any judicial or administrative proceedings in bankruptcy,
receivership, or reorganization. ABGI may also terminate the PSA at any time with 30 days notice.
