NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for Marizyme Inc. may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are characterized by future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” believe,” “estimate” and “continue” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss future expectations and plans, which contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Such statements are only predictions and our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We believe that it is important to communicate future expectations to investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in the audited financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2019 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2020. These factors include the uncertainties associated with product development, the risk that products that appeared promising in early clinical trials do not demonstrate safety and efficacy in larger-scale clinical trials, the risk that we will not obtain approval to market our products, the risks associated with dependence upon key personnel and the need for additional financing. We do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements as circumstances change and thus you should not unduly rely on these statements.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2020

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1COMPANY AND BACKGROUND 

 

Overview

 

Marizyme, Inc., a Nevada corporation formerly known as GBS Enterprises Incorporated (the “Company” or “Marizyme”), conducted its primary business through its majority owned subsidiary, GBS Software AG (“GROUP”), a German-based public-company.

 

By December 31, 2016, the Company had sold the controlling interest in GROUP and other subsidiaries, keeping only a minority interest in GROUP. On March 21, 2018, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary named Marizyme, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and merged with it, effectively changing the Company’s name to Marizyme, Inc. On June 1, 2018, the Company exchanged the shares of GROUP and all the intercompany assets and liabilities for 100% of the shares of X-Assets Enterprises, Inc, a Nevada Corporation. As part of a type-D business restructuring on September 5, 2018, the Company then distributed the X-Assets shares to its shareholders on a 1 for 1 basis.

 

Beginning after the X-Assets share distribution, Marizyme refocused on the life sciences and began to seek technologies to acquire.

 

On September 12, 2018 the Company consummated an asset acquisition with ACB Holding AB, Reg. No. 559119-5762, a Swedish corporation to acquire all right, title and interest in their Krillase technology in exchange for 16.98 million shares of Common Stock. Krillase is a naturally occurring enzyme that acts to break protein bonds and has applications in dental care, wound healing and thrombosis.

 

The Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), is currently quoted on the OTC Markets QB Tier under the ticker symbol “MRZM.”

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classifications of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2020, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations and had accumulated losses of $31,886,862 since its inception, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management is in the process of executing a strategy based upon a new strategic direction in the life sciences space. The Company has several technologies in the commercialization phase and in development. The Company is seeking acquisitions of biotechnology assets in support of this direction. There can be no assurances that management will be successful in executing this strategy.

 

Note 2INTERIM REPORTING 

 

While the information presented in the accompanying interim nine-month financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the Company’s December 31, 2019 annual financial statements. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2019 annual financial statements. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Note 3SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 

There have been no changes in the accounting policies that effect these interim financial statements from the accounting policies disclosed in the notes to the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Note 4RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS 

 

The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncement not yet effective but recently issued would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Note 5 INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

 

On September 12, 2018 the Company consummated an asset acquisition with ACB Holding AB, Reg. No. 559119-5762, a Swedish corporation to acquire all right, title and interest in their Krillase technology in exchange for 16.98 million shares of Common Stock. Krillase is a naturally occurring enzyme that acts to break protein bonds and has applications in dental care, wound healing and thrombosis. The transaction was recorded at the fair value of the shares. No amortization has been recorded as the patents are not yet in a position to produce cash flows.

 

During 2020, the Company incurred legal and filing fees of $17,801 associated with a patent application for pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the treatment of thrombosis. The patents are pending.

The individual receives $30,000 per month through July 13, 2022 and received an option to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock at a strike price of $1.01, which vest monthly through July 13, 2021. These options are included in the Note 6 options above.

 

On November 7, 2019 the Company signed a 5 year exclusive distribution agreement with Somahlution, LLC to distribute Somahlution, LLC’s DuraGraft products in Europe, South America and certain other territories. On April 27, 2020, the Company amended this agreement to specify the ownership of certain Intellectual Property that Marizyme acquired from Somahlution, LLC since the original agreement was signed.

 

On December 16, 2019, Marizyme signed a definitive agreement to purchase all the assets of Somahlution, LLC and and its related companies subject to raising $10 Million.

 

Note 8SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

 

On December 15, 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement, as amended on March 31, 2020 and May 29, 2020 (the “Agreement”), with Somahlution, LLC, Somahlution, Inc. and Somaceutica, LLC, companies duly organized under the laws of Delaware (collectively, “Somah”) to acquire all of the assets, and none of the liabilities, of Somah (the “Acquisition”). Somah is engaged in developing products to prevent ischemic injury to organs and tissues and its products (the “Somah Products”) include DuraGraft, a one-time intraoperative vascular graft treatment for use in vascular and bypass surgeries that maintains endothelial function and structure, and other related properties.

 

On July 30, 2020, the Company and Somah entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of this amendment, it was agreed that, as part of the Acquisition, the Company would acquire the outstanding capital stock of Somahlution, Inc., held by Somahlution, LLC, rather than the assets of Somahlution, Inc. This change to the Agreement was made to accommodate the European Union (“EU”) requirements with respect to the manufacture under Somahlution, Inc. of CE marked products for sale in the EU.

 

On July 30, 2020, the Company closed the Acquisition.

 

On August 3, 2020, the Company completed an initial closing of a private placement (the “Private Placement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company sold and issued to the Investors an aggregate of 4,609,984 shares (the “Shares”) of its Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.25 per share. Each of the Investors is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D, Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Shares issued and sold in the Private Placement were offered and sold by the Company in reliance on an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder.

 

In consideration for services rendered as the placement agent in the Private Placement, on August 2, 2020, the Company paid Univest Securities LLC cash commissions totaling $460,999, or 8% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement closing, a 1% non-accountable expense allowance totaling $57,624.80, and the $31,250 balance (of a total of $37,500) due to the placement agent in advisory fees. Additionally, the Company issued to the placement agent a five-year warrant to purchase an aggregate of 229,499 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.375 per share (the “Agent Warrant”). The Agent Warrant, for which the placement agent paid the Company $100, may be exercised on a cashless basis. The exercise price of the Agent Warrant is subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

 

All of the Shares sold in the Private Placement are entitled to “piggyback” registration rights until such time as the Shares may otherwise be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without limitation or restriction.

Overview

 

Marizyme, Inc., a Nevada corporation formerly known as GBS Enterprises Incorporated (the “Company,” “Marizyme,” “we,” “us” or “our”), conducted its primary business through its minority owned subsidiary, GBS Software AG, or GROUP, a German-based public-company whose stock traded on the Frankfurt Exchange. GROUP’s software and consulting business was focused on serving IBM’s Lotus Notes and Domino market. On March 21, 2018, GBS Enterprises Incorporated formed a wholly owned subsidiary named Marizyme, Inc., a Nevada Corporation and merged it with GBS Enterprises Incorporated for the purpose of renaming the Company Marizyme, Inc.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets’ QB tier under the symbol “MRZM.” We may also examine our options with respect to the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock market or the NYSE.

 

Since late 2018, we have been focused on our clinically-tested and previously patented use of a protease-based therapeutic platform called Krillase® which we acquired from ACB Holding AB. Clinical studies have shown a Krillase-based product to be an effective in the treatment of chronic wounds and burns, while preclinical research may show Krillase to be a promising treatment for acute ischemic stroke. The Krillase-based technology platform has the potential for additional product opportunities such as in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis, coronary thrombosis, skin grafting and gingivitis, or tooth decay.

 

Beginning in late 2019, we began working with Somahlution LLC, or Somahlution, to license and market Somahlution’s flagship product DuraGraft®. DuraGraft is an “endothelial damage inhibitor” indicated for cardiac bypass, peripheral bypass and other vascular surgeries, approved for marketing in the European Union under CE Mark and in several countries in Asia. The DuraGraft platform technology can be applied to prevent ischemic injury to tissues and organs. Besides its flagship commercial product DuraGraft, preclinical studies have shown that the Somahlution’s DuraGraft platform technology has the potential for multiple product opportunities for several indications in transplant surgery and tissue grafting. As discussed below, on July 30, 2020, we acquired all of the assets of Somahlution and its related companies. 

 

Recent Events

 

Somahlution Asset Acquisition

 

On December 15, 2019, we entered into an asset purchase agreement, as amended on March 31, 2020 and May 29, 2020, or the Agreement, with Somahlution, LLC, Somahlution, Inc. and Somaceutica, LLC, companies duly organized under the laws of Delaware, which we refer to collectively as Somah to acquire all of the assets, and none of the liabilities, of Somah (the “Acquisition”). Somah is engaged in developing products to prevent ischemic injury to organs and tissues and its products (the “Somah Products”) include DuraGraft, a one-time intraoperative vascular graft treatment for use in vascular and bypass surgeries that maintains endothelial function and structure, and other related properties. On July 30, 2020, the Company and Somah signed Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of this amendment, it was agreed that, as part of the Acquisition, the Company would acquire the outstanding capital stock of Somahlution, Inc., held by Somahlution, LLC, rather than the assets of Somahlution, Inc. This change to the Agreement was made to accommodate the European Union (“EU”) requirements with respect to the manufacture under Somahlution, Inc. of CE marked products for sale in the EU. On July 30, 2020, the Company closed the Acquisition.

 

Somah will be entitled to appoint two members to our board of directors. Additionally, following the closing of the Somah acquisition, Satish Chandran, Somah’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, will become our President and Chief Operating Officer and that Catherine Pachuk, Somah’s Chief Science Officer, will become our Chief Science Officer.  

 

Private Placement

 

On August 3, 2020, we conducted an initial closing of a private placement (the “Private Placement”) pursuant to which we sold to a number of accredited investors an aggregate of 4,609,984 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of $1.25 per Share for an aggregate amount of $5,762,480.

 

Our Products

 

Krillase

 

Through our acquisition of the Krillase technology from ACB Holding AB, we have purchased a European Union clinically tested and previously patented protease therapeutic platform for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and chronic wounds/burns. Krillase may be classified as a biological drug, however, it has been classified as a Class III medical device in Europe for treating chronic wounds.


12


 

 

Krillase, derived from Antarctic krill, shrimp-like crustaceans, is a combination of endo and exopeptidases that safely and efficiently breaks down thrombogenic material and necrotic tissue. A mix of proteinases and peptidases in Krillase helps the Antarctic krill digest and break down its food in the extremely cold Antarctic environment. As a result, the specialized enzymes provide a “cutting” capability. As a “biochemical knife,” Krillase breaks down necrotic tissue and thrombogenic material and can mitigate or treat multiple disease states in humans. For example, Krillase can dissolve arterial thrombogenic plaque safely and efficiently. In preclinical studies in Europe, Krillase has demonstrated that it can completely dissolve fresh and organized thrombus faster and more effectively than currently approved fibrinolytic therapy without the potential for bleed outs, and it has demonstrated in both preclinical and clinical studies that it promotes faster healing and supports grafting for chronic wounds and burns.

 

We have acquired a Krillase based product pipeline that is focused on developing products that treat a number of conditions across the critical care market. Itemized below is a breakdown of our current Krillase pipeline and its development status:

 

·MB101 – Therapy for complex wounds and burns: Completed Phase 2B trials in the EU. 

·MB104 – Therapy for deep vein thrombosis: Early pre-clinical stage. 

 

Krillase received medical device status in the European Union for debridement of deep partial and full-thickness wounds in hospitalized patients, on July 19, 2005. we expect to initiate commercialization of the Krillase wound healing product for distribution in Europe and South America in 2021. Krillase will initially be delivered as a sterile, long shelf life lyophilized powder.

 

DuraGraft

 

In November 2019, we signed an initial licensing and commercialization agreement with Somahlution, the former owner and developer of the DuraGraft platform. In April 2020, we amended and restated the licensing and distribution agreement and on July 30, 2020, we closed the acquisition of the Somahlution DuraGraft assets.

 

The DuraGraft® Product

 

Somahlution has been engaged in developing products based on its DuraGraft platform technology, to prevent ischemic injury to organs and tissues in grafting and transplantation surgeries. Its products and product candidates, which are referred to as the Somah Products, include DuraGraft, a one-time intraoperative vascular graft treatment for use in vascular and bypass surgeries that maintains endothelial function and structure, thereby reducing the incidence and complications of graft failure and improving clinical outcomes post bypass surgery.

 

DuraGraft Indications

 

DuraGraft is an “endothelial damage inhibitor” indicated for cardiac bypass, peripheral bypass and other vascular surgeries. It is CE marked and is approved for marketing in the European Union and several countries around the world including, but not limited to Singapore, Hing Kong, India, the Philippines and Malaysia. Somahlution has also been focused on developing products to mitigate the effects of ischemia reperfusion injury in other grafting and transplantation surgeries and other indications in which ischemic injury can cause disease. Multiple products derived from the DuraGraft platform technology for several indications are under various stages of development.

 

·DuraGraft is the first CE-marked endothelial damage inhibitor that protects free vascular grafts and endothelium against ischemic injury. 

 

·DuraGraft is the only product approved (in Europe) for graft protection and preservation during bypass (cardiac and peripheral) and other vascular surgeries. 

 

·DuraGraft protects graft tissue from harvesting through anastomosis and is used during coronary artery bypass grafting, or CABG, (and other vascular surgeries) as a treatment to maintain the structural and functional integrity of isolated vascular grafts. 

 

·The use of DuraGraft is associated with the reduction of post-CABG complications associated with graft disease and failure; myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and major adverse cardiovascular events, or MACE. 


13


 

 

Unmet Clinical Needs

 

·CABG remains the standard treatment for multi-vessel coronary artery disease or left main artery disease. 

 

·Benefits of CABG are, however, limited by high patient level vein graft failure (VGF) rates (~50%) that haven’t changed in decades. 

 

·“The Early Promise of Coronary Bypass Grafting has not been fulfilled and an insidiously deadly variety of atherosclerosis progressively chokes vein grafts and extinguishes their benefits,” Fitzgibbons, 1996. 

 

·“VGF remains one of the leading causes of poor in-hospital and long-term outcomes after CABG,” Harskamp, 2013. 

 

·“The Issue of Low Patency Rates Owing to VGF Needs Urgent Attention,” de Vries, 2016. 

 

·Vein graft failure is result of damage to graft endothelium that occurs during CABG surgery. 

 

·Ischemic reperfusion injury is the primary cause of endothelial damage. 

 

·Vein graft failure post-CABG is associated with poor clinical outcomes. 

 

·DuraGraft prevents endothelial damage, prevents graft disease and improves clinical outcomes. 

 

Our Competitive Strength

 

We believe that the following competitive strengths will enable us to compete effectively:

 

Our Krillase platform provides a significant and substantial competitive advantage as:

 

·Clinical studies in Europe have shown Krillase to achieve superior wound healing effects in treatment of necrotic leg ulcers. 

 

·Our patent protected unique mixture of highly efficient endo and exopeptidases extracted from the digestive tract of the Antarctic Krill for use in the removal of dental plaque and other dental applications has not been recreated artificially. 

 

The DuraGraft platform provides a significant and substantial competitive advantage as:

 

·DuraGraft, CE marked in Europe, is “first-in-class” as the only approved product for sale in Europe for vein graft preservation. 

 

Our Growth Strategy

 

Our growth strategy is premised on (a) integrating the acquisition of the Somah assets and the engagement of the Somah personnel in connection with this acquisition; and (b) the successful completion of our Private Placement and other future capital raising offerings, either public or private.

 

We will strive to grow our business by pursuing the following key growth strategies:

 

·Complete the integration of the acquisition of the Somah assets and begin (i) the marketing and distribution of the Somah Products, particularly DuraGraft, in Europe and (ii) the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of DuraGraft and related Somah Products in the United States;  

 

·Begin to commercialize our Krillase platform through the development of (i) manufacturing and distribution in Europe and South America of a Krillase would healing product and (ii) additional Krillase based applications; and 

 

·Expand our product portfolio through the identification and acquisition of additional life science assets. 


14


 

 

The strategic plans described above will require capital.  There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise the capital that we will need to execute our plans or that additional capital, whether through the Private Placement, other securities offerings, whether private or public, or otherwise, will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.  An inability to raise sufficient funds could cause us to scale back our development and growth plans or discontinue them altogether.

 

Impact of the Coronavirus

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization, or WHO, announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. On March 11, 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect our prospective future revenues, and our operations and those of third parties with whom we might interact, including by causing disruptions in the development of our product candidates, product marketing efforts and the conduct of current and expected future clinical trials.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

·have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; 

 

·comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); 

 

·submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and 

 

·disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. 

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

 

In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

FINANCIAL OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

 

As of June 30, 2020, our accumulated deficit is approximately $31.89 million. We expect to incur additional losses to perform further research and development activities and do not currently have any commercial biopharmaceutical products. We do not expect to have such for several years, if at all.

 

Our product development efforts are thus in their early stages and we cannot make estimates of the costs or the time they will take to complete. The risk of completion of any program is high because of the many uncertainties involved in bringing new drugs to market including the long duration of clinical testing, the specific performance of proposed products under stringent clinical trial protocols, the extended regulatory approval and review cycles, our ability to raise additional capital, the nature and timing of research and development expenses and competing technologies being developed by organizations with significantly greater resources.

At June 30, 2020, we had $4,454 in cash, compared to $90 at December 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020, our accumulated stockholders’ deficit was $31,886,862 compared to $30,980,581 at December 31, 2019. There is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have generated minimal revenues to date and our cash balance as reported above is not sufficient to fund our current and planned operations for any period of time. To fully implement our plan of operations for the next 12-month period, we will need to raise a significant amount of capital through our Private Placement, of which we have conducted an initial closing, and through additional future offerings, either private or public.  There can be no assurances, however, that we will be successful in these capital raising efforts.

 

Subsequent Financing Activities

 

Private Placement

 

On August 3, 2020, we conducted an initial closing of the Private Placement pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 4,609,984 Shares, at a purchase price of $1.25 per Share for an aggregate amount of $5,762,480.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our interim principal executive and financial officer, Nicholas DeVito, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on that evaluation, as of June 30, 2020, our interim principal executive and financial officer identified the following material weaknesses:

 

·We do not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on the use of external legal and accounting professionals. 


17


 

 

Our management has identified the steps necessary to address the material weaknesses, and as soon as we have available funds, we will implement the following remedial procedures:

 

·We will hire personnel with technical accounting expertise to further support our current accounting personnel. As necessary, we will continue to engage consultants or outside accounting firms in order to ensure proper accounting for our financial statements. 

 

We intend to complete the remediation of the material weaknesses discussed above as soon as practicable but we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so. Designing and implementing an effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to devote significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that adequately satisfies our reporting obligations. The remedial measures that we have taken and intend to take may not fully address the material weaknesses that we have identified, and material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures may be identified in the future. Should we discover such conditions, we intend to remediate them as soon as practicable. We are committed to taking appropriate steps for remediation, as needed.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, our management, including our interim principal executive and financial officer, James Sapirstein, conducted an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, our acting principal executive and financial officer concluded there were no such changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.  

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Risks Relating to the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

Our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal year 2020 and beyond may be materially and adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization, or WHO, announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. On March 11, 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the United States and global economies and may affect our prospective future revenues, and our operations and those of third parties with whom we might interact, including by causing disruptions in the development of our product candidates, product marketing efforts and the conduct of current and expected future clinical trials.

 

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may affect the operations of the FDA and other health authorities, including such authorities in Europe, which could result in delays of reviews and approvals, including with respect to our product candidates and our plans to submit a clinical proposal to the FDA for our newly acquired DuraGraft product. While there has been no specific notices of delay from federal or foreign government authorities, potential interruptions, delays or changes to the operations of the FDA, or of any foreign authority with which we might interact, might impact the approval of any applications we plan and will need to file in the future.

 

We may also experience other unknown impacts from COVID-19 that cannot be predicted. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business and operating results is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including, but not limited to, the scope and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions required to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact.

 

The COVID -19 pandemic might also negatively impact our ability to fully exploit our acquisition of the Somah assets, to proceed with our plan of operations for the next 12 months, including our plans to begin both the marketing of the DuraGraft product and complete the development and begin the commercialization of our Krillase wound healing product in Europe and South America, and to raise capital in the future. While the COVID-19 virus and its negative economic impact and uncertainty persist, investors might be reluctant to invest in early stage pharma companies such as ours.

 

We have not developed a COVID-19 contingency plan to address the potential challenges and risks presented by this pandemic. If we were to prepare such a plan, there could be no assurance that it would be effective in mitigating the effects of the COVID-19 virus.

 

Accordingly, disruptions to the US and global economies and to our business relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, stock price and prospects for the year ending December 31, 2020, and beyond.

THIS PLACEMENT AGENT WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, Univest Securities, LLC, or its assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after [______], 2020 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date that is five (5) years following the Initial Issuance Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from MARIZYME, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to [_________] shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”), as subject to adjustment hereunder.

(or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of the Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holder and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

Section 2. Exercise.

 

a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto. Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within five (5) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.375, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c) Cashless Exercise. At any time on or after the Initial Exercise Date and prior to the Termination Date, at the Holder’s election, this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 


2


 

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a “cashless exercise,” the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrant Shares. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

 

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by its transfer agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder, or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and, in either case, the Warrant Shares have been sold by the Holder prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date (as defined below), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). If the Warrant Shares can be delivered via DWAC, the transfer agent shall have received from the Company, at the expense of the Company, any legal opinions or other documentation required by it to deliver such Warrant Shares without legend (subject to receipt by the Company of reasonable back up documentation from the Holder, including with respect to affiliate status) and, if applicable and requested by the Company prior to the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the transfer agent shall have received from the Holder a confirmation of sale of the Warrant Shares (provided the requirement of the Holder to provide a confirmation as to the sale of Warrant Shares shall not be applicable to the issuance of unlegended Warrant Shares upon a cashless exercise of this Warrant if the Warrant Shares are then eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the second Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the second Trading Day following such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.

 

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise; provided, however, that the Holder shall be required to return any Warrant Shares or Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to Holder of the aggregate Exercise Price paid to the Company for such Warrant Shares and the restoration of Holder’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

viii. Signature. This Section 2 and the exercise form attached hereto set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Holder in order to exercise this Purchase Warrant. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original exercise form shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any exercise form be required in order to exercise this Purchase Warrant. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Holder to exercise this Purchase Warrant. The Company shall honor exercises of this Purchase Warrant and shall deliver Shares underlying this Purchase Warrant in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth herein.

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification. For the purposes of clarification, the Exercise Price of this Warrant will not be adjusted in the event that the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

b) [RESERVED]

 

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend (other than cash dividends) or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable by holders of Common Stock as a result of such Fundamental Transaction for each share of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice to Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed a notice to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to provide such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

d) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

The Holder shall notify the Company prior to the filing of the applicable registration statement, if it chooses not to include its Warrant Shares therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Warrant Shares are registered for resale, the Warrants may not be transferred, assigned or hypothecated for a period of six (6) months following the Initial Exercise Date, except that the Warrant and Warrant Shares may be assigned, in whole or in part, to any successor, officer or member of the Placement Agent (or to officers, or partners of any such successor of the member).

5.3.3 Documents Delivered to Holders. If requested by the Holder, the Company shall furnish to each Holder participating in any of the foregoing offerings and to each underwriter of any such offering, if any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder or underwriter, of: (i) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, an opinion dated the date of the closing under any underwriting agreement related thereto), and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, a letter dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement) signed by the independent registered public accounting firm which has issued a report on the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities.

Such investigation shall include access to books, records and properties and opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and independent auditors, all to such reasonable extent and at such reasonable times as any such Holder shall reasonably request.

Section 6. Miscellaneous.

 

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).

 

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

 

d) Authorized Shares.

 

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Engagement Agreement dated May 22, 2020, as amended (the “Engagement Agreement”).

 

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Enggagement Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

If a subscription is rejected in part (at the sole discretion of the Company or the Placement Agent) and the Company accepts the portion not so rejected, the funds for the rejected portion of such subscription will be returned without interest, penalty, expense or deduction.

The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to accept this or any other subscription for the Securities, in whole or in part, notwithstanding prior receipt by the Purchaser of notice of acceptance of this or any other subscription. The Company will have no obligation hereunder until the Company executes and delivers to the Purchaser an executed copy of the Transaction Documents. If Purchaser’s subscription is rejected in whole (at the sole discretion of the Company), the Offering is terminated, all funds received from the Purchaser will be returned without interest, penalty, expense or deduction, and this Subscription Agreement will thereafter be of no further force or effect.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS

 

The USA PATRIOT Act

What is money laundering?

How big is the problem and why is it important?

The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.

 

To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.

Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism

The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.

 

What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?

 

Under new rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with the new laws.

 

As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.

Re: Registration Rights Agreement

 

 

Reference is made to the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated June 15, 2020 (the “Memorandum”) of Marizyme, Inc. (the “Company”) relating to a private placement offering (the “Offering”) for sale up to $9,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”), in shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), at a price per share of 1.25, for a total of up to 7,200,000 Shares, as amended by Supplement No. 1 to the Memorandum, dated August 5, 2020 and as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the accompanying Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) and all other annexes and exhibits (collectively, the “Offering Materials”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this letter agreement, shall their respective meanings ascribed to them in the Memorandum or the Subscription Agreement.

 

This registration rights letter agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) confirms our understanding with respect to registration of the securities sold pursuant to the Offering Material: 

 

(a)Piggy-Back Registration Rights. If at any time after the initial Closing Date, the Company determines to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to register the offer and sale, by the Company, of Common Stock (other than (i) on Form S-4 or Form S-8 under the Securities Act or any successor forms thereto or (ii) a registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement) (a “Registration Statement”), the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, give written notice to Univest Securities, LLC, acting on behalf of the Investors (the “Placement Agent”), of its intention to so register the offer and sale of Common Stock and, upon the written request, given within five (5) Business Days after delivery of any such notice by the Company, of the Placement Agent to include in such registration the Shares (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration), the Company shall cause all such Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement on the same terms and conditions as the Common Stock otherwise being sold pursuant to such registered offering, which shall be reviewed by counsel to the Placement Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to filing such Registration Statement with the Commission.  

 

(b)Registration Procedures. The Company will, as expeditiously as possible:  

 

(i) (w) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby, (x) promptly provide to the Placement Agent copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment and notify the Placement Agent (by telecopier, by PDF and by e-mail addresses provided by the Placement Agent) on or before the second (2nd) Business Day thereafter that the Company receives notice that (A) the Commission has no comments or no further comments on the Registration Statement, and (B) the Registration Statement has been declared effective and (y) file with the Commission an acceleration request within two (2) days that it is notified that the Commission has no comments or no further comments on the Registration Statement and (z) subject to the rights of the other holders of securities registered on the Registration Statement, remove from the Registration Statement any securities other than the Registrable Securities if the Commission determines that all of the securities being registered cannot be registered.  

 

(ii)prepare and file with the Commission (x) such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective until such Registration Statement has been effective for a period of one (1) year, and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement in accordance with each Investor’s intended method of disposition set forth in such Registration Statement for such period and (y) additional registration statements registering any Registrable Securities that the Commission does not permit to be registered under such Registration Statement; 

 

(iii)furnish to the Placement Agent, at the Company’s expense, such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as the Placement Agent reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or the disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or make them electronically available; 


 

 

(iv)as applicable, list or make available for quotation the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement with any securities exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed or quoted; 

 

(v)notify the Placement Agent within two (2) Business Days of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, or which becomes subject to a Commission, state or other governmental order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any of the Registrable Securities; and 

 

(vi)provide to the Placement Agent copies of the Registration Statement and amendments thereto at least two (2) days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission. 

 

(c)Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with the registration rights provided herein, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of Company counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of FINRA, and the fees of the Placement Agent’s counsel, and fees of transfer agents and registrars are herein called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts, selling commissions and transfers applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities are herein called “Selling Expenses.” The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Registration Statement described herein. Selling Expenses in connection with the Registration Statement shall be borne by the Investors. 

 

(d)Indemnification. The Investors and the Placement Agent shall be entitled to the same indemnification rights as the other holders of registrable securities under the applicable Registration Statement. Upon request, the Company shall confirm to the Placement Agent its compliance with the terms of this paragraph.
