Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 19, 2020, XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering, (i) 4,153,383 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) at an offering price of $0.175 per share and (ii) an aggregate of 2,132,333 pre-funded warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) at an offering price of $0.165 per Pre-Funded Warrant (the offering of the shares of Common Stock and the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Offering”). The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about March 19, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company expects to receive gross proceeds of approximately $1.1 million in connection with the Offering, before deducting financial advisory consultant fees and related offering expenses.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants are being sold to the Purchasers to the extent that a Purchaser’s subscription of shares of Common Stock in the Offering would otherwise result in the Purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Offering, in lieu of shares of Common Stock. Each Pre-Funded Warrant represents the right to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchasers and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to certain restrictions on the issuance and sale of its Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) from the date of the Purchase Agreement until 45 days after the date of the Purchase Agreement.

 

Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated March 19, 2020 (the “Letter Agreement”), the Company engaged Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC (“Palladium”) as advisory financial consultant in connection with the Offering. The Company agreed to pay to Palladium a cash fee of 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering plus reimbursement of certain legal expenses.

 

The foregoing summaries of the Letter Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the Pre-Funded Warrants do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents attached as Exhibits 1.1, 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

On March 19, 2020, the Company issued a press release in connection with the Offering, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

 

The securities in Offering are being offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333- 232764), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 22, 2019 and was declared effective by the Commission on July 30, 2019 (the “Registration Statement”). A copy of the opinion of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky & Popeo, P.C. relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the securities in the Offering is attached to this report as Exhibit 5.1. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

 

Warrant Exchange

  

On March 19, 2020, the Company entered into separate Warrant Exchange Agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with the holders of certain existing warrants (the “Exchanged Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock. The Exchanged Warrants were originally issued (i) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated as of May 15, 2018, and in connection with a related consent and (ii) in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among the Company (formerly known as FORM Holdings Corp.), FHXMS, LLC, XpresSpa Holdings, LLC and Mistral XH Representative, LLC, as representative of the unitholders, dated October 25, 2016, as subsequently amended. The Company has begun discussion with Calm.com, Inc. (“Calm”) regarding the potential exchange of warrants held by Calm that were issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated as of July 8, 2019, by and between the Company and Calm. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, on the closing date and subject to (i) the receipt of approval of the Company’s stockholders as required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market and (ii) the receipt of approval of the Company’s stockholders to increase the Company’s authorized shares (collectively, the “Shareholder Approval”), the holders of Exchanged Warrants would exchange each Exchanged Warrant for a number of shares of Common Stock (the “New Shares”) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Exchanged Warrants (based on a formula related to the closing price of the Common Stock at the time of the closing of the Exchange as further detailed in the Exchange Agreement) and (ii) 1.5 (the “Exchange”). To the extent any holder of Exchanged Warrants would otherwise beneficially own in excess of any beneficial ownership limitation applicable to such holder after giving effect to the Exchange, that holder’s Exchanged Warrants shall be exchanged for a number of New Shares issuable to the holder without violating the applicable beneficial ownership limitation and the remainder of the holder’s Exchanged Warrants shall automatically convert into pre-funded warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the applicable beneficial ownership limitation. The closing is expected to take place on the first business day on which the conditions to the closing are satisfied or waived, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

 

 

 

The Exchange will be conducted pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

 

In connection with the Exchange, on March 19, 2020, the Company entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with existing stockholder Mistral Spa Holdings, LLC (“Mistral”), pursuant to which Mistral agreed, in connection with a meeting of the Company’s stockholders, to vote its shares of Common Stock (i) in favor of any proposal to adopt or approve or re-approve the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such agreements and against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that is intended or would result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under such agreements. Mistral further agreed not to transfer its shares of Common Stock until the earlier of (a) the initial record date set for the shareholder meeting to be held in connection with the foregoing matters or (b) March 31, 2020. The shares of Common Stock subject to the Voting Agreement represent approximately 37% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of March 18, 2020.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Exchange Agreements and the Voting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are attached as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth above under the heading “Warrant Exchange” under Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

 

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The information set forth above under the heading “Warrant Exchange” under Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

In the prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission, the Company intends to include the following disclosure regarding the effects of the coronavirus on its business:

 

“Similar to many businesses in the travel sector, our business has been materially adversely impacted by the recent coronavirus outbreak and associated restrictions on travel that have been implemented.  The extent to which the coronavirus continues to impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

 

 

 

 

As the coronavirus has spread, we have seen a material decline in demand across all our locations and this has resulted in a materially adverse impact on our cash flows from operations and has caused an immediate liquidity crisis.  Accordingly, we are seeking sources of capital to help fund our business operations during the coronavirus crisis.  If we are unable to obtain additional funding in the immediate term, we may be required to curtail or terminate some or all of our business operations and cause our Board of Directors to decide to pursue a restructuring, which may include a reorganization or bankruptcy under Federal bankruptcy laws, or a dissolution, liquidation and/or winding up of the Company.  Accordingly, holders of our common stock may lose their entire investment in the event of a reorganization, bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

 

We are currently exploring sources of capital, including additional indebtedness.  We plan to have discussions with our existing lender, B3D, LLC, and additional lenders regarding potential funding options.  If additional indebtedness becomes available from sources other than B3D, LLC, the consent of B3D, LLC as our secured lender will be required and, based on past experience, we expect to be required to pay a consent fee to B3D, LLC as consideration for their consent.”

 

In the prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission, the Company intends to include the following disclosure under the heading “Risk Factors” regarding certain additional risk factors that could affect its business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows, which should be read in connection with the existing disclosure on risk factors made in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

 

We will need additional financing to fund our operations in the future. If we are unable to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, we will need to curtail or cease our business plans and operations.

 

We do not have sufficient capital to fund our operations in the long term. As a result, we will need to raise additional capital and/or complete a strategic combination. Additional funds may be raised through the issuance of equity securities and/or debt financing, there being no assurance that any type of financing on terms acceptable to us will be available or otherwise occur. Debt financing must be repaid regardless of whether we generate revenues or cash flows from operations and may be secured by substantially all of our assets. Any equity financing or debt financing that requires the issuance of warrants or other equity securities to the lender would cause the percentage ownership by our current stockholders to be diluted, which dilution may be substantial. Also, any additional equity securities issued may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If such financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be required to reduce or eliminate certain business activities, and it may ultimately require us to suspend or cease operations, which could cause investors to lose the entire amount of their investment.

 

If our process to identify and evaluate potential business alternatives is not successful, our Board of Directors may decide to pursue a restructuring, which may include a reorganization or bankruptcy under Federal bankruptcy laws, or a dissolution, liquidation and/or winding up of the Company.

 

There can be no assurance that the process to identify and evaluate potential business alternatives will result in a successful alternative for our business. If no transactions with respect to potential business alternatives are identified and completed, our Board of Directors may decide to pursue a restructuring, which may include a reorganization or bankruptcy under Federal bankruptcy laws, or a dissolution, liquidation and/or winding up of the Company. If our Board of Directors were to approve and recommend, and our stockholders were to approve, a dissolution and liquidation of our company, we would be required under Delaware corporate law to pay our outstanding obligations, as well as to make reasonable provisions for contingent and unknown obligations, prior to making any distributions in liquidation to our stockholders. Our commitments and contingent liabilities may include (i) obligations under our employment agreements with certain members of management that provide for severance and other payments following a termination of employment occurring for various reasons, including a change in control of our Company, (ii) various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business and (iii) non-cancelable lease obligations. As a result of this requirement, a portion of our assets may need to be reserved pending the resolution of such obligations. In addition, we may be subject to litigation or other claims related to a dissolution and liquidation of our company. If a dissolution and liquidation were pursued, our Board of Directors, in consultation with its advisors, would need to evaluate these matters and make a determination about a reasonable amount to reserve. Accordingly, holders of our Common Stock may lose their entire investment in the event of a reorganization, bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

 

 

 

 

Our business, results of operations and financial condition has been and may continue to be materially adversely impacted by public health epidemics, including the recent coronavirus outbreak.

 

Our business, results of operations and financial condition has been and may continue to be materially adversely impacted if a public health epidemic, including the recent coronavirus outbreak, interferes with our ability, or the ability of our employees, workers, contractors, suppliers and other business partners to perform our and their respective responsibilities and obligations relative to the conduct of our business. A public health epidemic, including the coronavirus, poses the risk of disruptions from the temporary closure of third-party suppliers and manufacturers, restrictions on the shipment of our products, restrictions on our employees' and other service providers' ability to travel, the decreased willingness or ability of our customers to travel or to utilize our services and shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. The extent to which the coronavirus continues to impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.”

 

In addition, in the prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission, the Company intends to include the following disclosure regarding the Company’s cash position as of December 31, 2019:

 

“As of December 31, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $2,184,000.

 

The estimated cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of December 31, 2019 are preliminary and may change, are based on information available to management as of the date of this prospectus supplement, and are subject to completion by management of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. There can be no assurance that our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of December 31, 2019 will not differ from these estimates, including as a result of quarter-end closing and any such changes could be material.

 

The foregoing preliminary financial data has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, our management. This data could change as a result of further review. Complete annual results will be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.”

 

On March 19, 2020, the Company issued a press release in connection with its early high-level discussions to turn its airport locations located in point of entry cities into COVID-19 testing facilities, which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Re:      Finder Agreement

 

Dear Mr. Satzman:

 

This letter agreement (this “Agreement”) sets forth the understanding and agreement between PALLADIUM CAPITAL ADVISORS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Finder” or “Palladium”), and XPRESSPA GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with respect to the following:

 

1.                  The Company hereby engages Palladium, as a non-exclusive finder for the Company, to use its best efforts to identify potential purchasers for the Company’s proposed offering of common stock and warrants of the Company (the “Securities”) to a limited number of institutional, accredited individual or strategic investors (each a “Finder Investor”).

 

2.                  The engagement of Palladium under Section 1 of this Agreement shall commence as of the date hereof and shall expire 6 months thereafter (the “Term”).

 

3.                  In the event one or more Finder Investors purchase Securities (a “Transaction”), the Company agrees to pay Palladium the following fees (the “Fees”):

 

(i) The Company shall pay to Palladium a cash fee equal to 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds from Finder Investors used to purchase the Securities, payable in cash by wire transfer at the time of the completion of such purchase(s); and
     
(ii) The Company shall issue to Palladium (or its designees) warrants to purchase that number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to 7% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock purchased by Finder Investors, taking into consideration any increase in shares (or equivalent) under a ratchet or similar provision pursuant to which the number of shares (or equivalent) initially purchased is subsequently increased (the “Warrants”). The Warrants shall be identical to the warrants of the Securities.

 

 

 

 

The Fees are payable for any sale of securities of the Company that occurs during the Term or within 18 months thereafter to Finder Investors.

 

4.                  The Company shall reimburse Palladium periodically for its reasonable and customary out-of-pocket and incidental expenses incurred during the Term, including the fees and expenses of its legal counsel and those of any other advisor retained by Palladium; provided, however, that any and all expenses incurred by Palladium in connection this Agreement in excess of $1000 shall be pre-approved by the Company.

 

5.                  The Company agrees to provide indemnification as set forth in Annex A attached hereto and made a part hereof.

 

6.                  The provisions of Sections 3, 4, and 5 (including, without limitation, the provisions of indemnification referred to in Section 5) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 

7.                  The Company acknowledges and agrees that Palladium will be using, and relying upon, written materials and information provided to Palladium by the Company, its officers, agents, and others, including, but not limited to, financial statements, to be provided to potential Finder Investors (the “Materials”) describing the Company and the Transaction concerning the Company’s business, operations, assets, liabilities and receivables, and Palladium will be using, and relying upon, such Materials and any other publicly available information without any independent investigation or verification thereof or independent appraisal by Palladium of the Company or its business or assets. Palladium does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Materials, including but not limited to any disclosure materials related to the Transaction. “Materials” shall not include information that is provided in writing by Palladium to the Company that is independently produced by Palladium and not based on materials provided by the Company or information available from generally recognized public sources. The Company shall provide Palladium with access to the Company’s officers, directors, accountants, counsel and other advisors, and shall promptly notify Palladium of any events that might have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company, a Transaction or an Finder Investor’s decision whether or not to participate in a Transaction. The Company represents and warrants to Palladium that all information concerning the Company, including, without limitation, all information contained in the Materials, will be, when provided to Palladium, true, complete and accurate in all material respects and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made. If at any time prior to the completion of a Transaction an event occurs which would cause the Materials (as supplemented or amended) to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or to omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify Palladium of such event. Notwithstanding any previously executed non-disclosure agreement, the Company agrees that Palladium is permitted to show Materials to prospective Finder Investors in order to induce them to participate in a Transaction as contemplated by this Agreement.

8.                 Each of Palladium and the Company represents and warrants to the other, and agrees, that neither it, nor any of its directors, executive officers, other officers or employees participating in the offering of Securities, general partners or managing members, or any of the directors, executive officers or other officers participating in the offering of Securities of any such general partner or managing member (each, a “Covered Person”), is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event (i) contemplated by Rule 506(d)(2) of the Securities Act and (ii) a description of which has been furnished in writing to the other on or prior to execution hereof. Each of Palladium and the Company shall provide prompt written notice to the other of any Disqualification Event relating to any Covered Person, or any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event. Each of Palladium and the Company represents and warrants to the other that it is not aware of any person other than a Covered Person that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of Securities.

 

9.                Upon the closing of a Transaction, the Company agrees that Palladium has the right to place notices and/or advertisements in financial and other newspapers and journals (whether in print or on the Internet), and to publicize on Palladium’s own website and/or marketing materials, at its own expense, describing its services to the Company hereunder.

 

10.               Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of Palladium or of any member, employee, agent or representative of Palladium, to be a shareholder, member, partner, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of, or to engage in, any other business, whether or not of a similar nature of the Company’s business, nor to limit or restrict the right of Palladium to render services of any kind to any other corporation, company, firm, individual or association. The Company acknowledges that Palladium and its affiliates may have and may continue to have investment banking and other relationships with parties other than the Company pursuant to which Palladium may acquire information of interest to the Company. Palladium shall have no obligation to disclose such information to the Company or to use such information in connection with any contemplated transaction.

 

11.              The failure or neglect of either of the parties hereto to enforce any of its rights or to insist, in any one or more instances, upon the strict performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, or its waiver of strict performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment in the future of such term or condition, but the same shall continue in full force and effect.

 

12.              Any notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sent to the Company and to Palladium at their respective addresses set forth above. Any notice shall be given by email, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by reputable overnight courier such as FedEx, and shall be deemed to have been given when deposited in the United States mail or delivered by overnight courier or when sent, if sent by email during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day. Either party may designate any other address to which notice shall be given by giving written notice to the other party of such change of address in the manner herein provided.

13.               Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other party that it has the full and complete right and authority to enter into this Agreement, that all required action has been taken by it as is necessary to authorize it to enter into this Agreement, that, upon the execution of this Agreement by the other party hereto, it is fully bound by the terms hereof, and that the person executing this agreement on its behalf is authorized to do so and does bind the undersigned hereto without requiring the joinder or further approval of any other person whomsoever.

 

14.              The Company acknowledges and agrees that Palladium has been retained to act solely as an independent contractor and in such capacity shall not act as an employee of the Company or as an agent of the Company other than specifically provided herein.

 

15.              This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective, Affiliates, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. The term “Affiliates” shall mean, with respect to any person or entity, any other person or entity who, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such person or entity and any spouse, parent or issue of any such person; “control” means the power, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or entity whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

 

16.            THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT WILL BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION IN NEW YORK CITY PURSUANT TO THE ARBITRATION RULES OF FINRA WITH RESPECT TO DISPUTES BETWEEN FINRA MEMBERS AND THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A PREDISPUTE ARBITRATION CLAUSE. BY SIGNING AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

 

(1)               All parties to this agreement are giving up the right to sue each other in court, including the right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the rules of the arbitration forum in which a claim is filed.

 

(2)               Arbitration awards are generally final and binding; a party’s ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited.

 

(3)               The ability of the parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court proceedings.

 

(4)               The arbitrators do not have to explain the reason(s) for their award unless, in an eligible case, a joint request for an explained decision has been submitted by all parties to the panel at least 20 days prior to the first scheduled hearing date.

 

(5)               The panel of arbitrators may include a minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry.

 

4 

 

 

(6)               The rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing a claim in arbitration. In some cases, a claim that is ineligible for arbitration may be brought in court.

 

(7)               The rules of the arbitration forum in which the claim is filed, and any amendments thereto, shall be incorporated into this agreement.

 

17.              This Agreement has been made in the State of New York and shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws thereof without giving effect to its principles governing conflict of laws or choice of law.

 

18.              This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties, may not be altered or modified, except in writing and signed by the party to be charged thereby, and supersedes any and all previous agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

19.              Palladium acknowledges that it is not granted any right or authority to assume or create any obligation or liability or to make any representation, covenant, agreement or warranty, express or implied on the Company’s behalf, or to bind the Company in any matter whatsoever. Palladium will not have any rights or obligations in connection with the sale and purchase of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement. In no event will Palladium be obligated to purchase the Securities to be purchased by Finder Investors for its own account or for the accounts of its customers.

 

20.              This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf' format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf' signature page were an original thereof.

 

21.               Palladium has been engaged exclusively as a finder under this engagement is not an expert on, and cannot render opinions regarding, legal, accounting, regulatory, or tax matters.

Annex A

Indemnification Provisions

 

In connection with the engagement of Palladium by the Company pursuant to the Agreement, the Company hereby agrees as follows:

 

1. In connection with or arising out of or relating to the engagement of Palladium under the Agreement, or any actions taken or omitted, services performed or matters contemplated by or in connection with the Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse Palladium, its affiliates and their respective members, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each an “Indemnified Party”) promptly upon demand for actual, out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses for legal counsel) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim, or any litigation, proceeding or other action in respect thereof (collectively, a “Claim”). The Company also agrees (in connection with the foregoing) to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which any Indemnified Party may become subject, including any amount paid in settlement, to which the Company shall have consented in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), of any litigation or other action (commenced or threatened), whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not liability resulted; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable pursuant to this paragraph in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent that a court or other agency having competent jurisdiction shall have determined by final judgment (not subject to further appeal) that such loss, claim, damage or liability was incurred solely as a direct result of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its partners, security holders or creditors related to or arising out of the engagement of Palladium pursuant to, or the performance by Palladium of the services contemplated by, this Agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is determined in a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) by a court to have resulted solely from fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Party.
     
2. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate legal counsel of its own choice to conduct the defense and all related matters in connection with any Claim. The Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such legal counsel, and such counsel shall to the fullest extent, consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with the Company and any legal counsel designated by the Company.
     
3. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Claim in respect of which indemnification may be reasonably sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such Claim), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional, irrevocable release of each Indemnified Party against whom such Claim may be brought hereunder from any and all liability arising out of such Claim.
     
4. In the event the indemnity provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Annex A is unavailable or insufficient to hold any Indemnified Party harmless, then the Company shall contribute to amounts paid or payable by an Indemnified Party in respect of such Indemnified Party’s losses, claims, damages and liabilities as to which the indemnity provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Annex A is unavailable or insufficient (i) in such portion as appropriately reflects the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the matters as to which losses, claims, damages or liabilities relate, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as appropriately reflects not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. The amounts paid or payable by a party in respect of losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal or other out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, Palladium’s share of the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees actually received by Palladium under the Agreement (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses by Palladium). No person guilty of fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

5. In the event any Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action, suit or proceeding brought by or on behalf of or against the Company or any affiliate or any participant in a Transaction covered hereby in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Company agrees to reimburse Palladium and each Indemnified Party for all appearing and preparing to appear as a witness, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of their legal counsel, and to compensate Palladium and each Indemnified Party in an amount to be mutually agreed upon.
     
6. All amounts due under the Indemnification Provisions of this Annex A shall be payable within ten (10) days after written notice of such event giving rise to the indemnification obligations, and if not paid within such 10-day period, such amounts shall bear interest at a rate of 1.5% per month or at the highest rate permitted under the laws of the State of New York, whichever rate is lower.
     
7. These Indemnification Provisions shall remain in full force and effect in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, whether or not consummated, and shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to any Indemnified Party under the Agreement or otherwise.
     
8. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction and service of process and venue in any court in the State of New York in which any claim for indemnity is brought by any Indemnified Party.

Form of Pre-funded Warrant To Purchase Common Stock

 

Warrant No.: 2020-[ ]

Number of Shares of Common Stock: [ ]

Date of Issuance: March [ ], 2020 (“Issuance Date”)

 

XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, ________________ the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, and until the date on which this Warrant is exercised in full (the “Termination Date”), [ ] ([ ]) fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Warrant Shares”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”) shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below). This Warrant is the Warrant to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2020 (“Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and the purchasers party thereto.

 

1.       EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

 

(a)       Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date and prior to the Termination Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) if the provisions of Section 1(d) are applicable, by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice, so long as the Holder delivers the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received the Exercise Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”) (provided that if the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) has not been delivered by such date, the Share Delivery Date shall be extended one (1) Trading Day after the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) is delivered), the Company shall (X) provided that the Company’s transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”) is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant Shares are eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the Warrant Shares are not eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, 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. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (such date of delivery being the “Exercise Date”), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person other than the Holder, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until such Person other than the Holder requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination. 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. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $0.01, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(c)       Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If (I) the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (a) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant Shares are eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, to issue to the Holder a certificate without any restrictive legend for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or (b) if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Warrant Shares are eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are not eligible to be issued without a restrictive legend, to issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice for delivery on or before the Share Delivery Date 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, (the event described in clause (I) above referred to herein as an “Exercise Failure”) occurs, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Exercise Failure an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (B) the higher of (i) the then in effect Exercise Price of this Warrant or (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if an Exercise Failure occurs, and if on or after the Share Delivery Date the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale through a broker by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable out of pocket expenses related to the Buy-In, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (such number of shares not to exceed the number of Warrant Shares failed to be delivered) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for such shares of Common Stock shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the sale price of the Common Stock at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. Nothing shall limit the 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 certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

2 

 

 

(d)       Cashless Exercise. If at any time there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion (and without limiting the Holder’s rights and remedies contained herein), exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, subject to the provisions of Section 1(a), in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive the number of Warrant Shares as is computed using the following formula:

 

X =Y(A - B) ÷ A

 

Where:

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y = the total number of Warrant Shares for which the Holder has elected to exercise this Warrant pursuant to Section 1(a).

 

A = the Closing Bid Price of the Company’s Common Stock as of the applicable Exercise Date.

 

B = the Exercise Price in effect under this Warrant as of the applicable Exercise Date.

 

(e)       Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.

 

(f)       Limitations on Exercises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail 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 and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

(g)       Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding (the “Required Reserve Amount” and the failure to have such sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock, an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall promptly take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock without soliciting its stockholders, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. In the event that upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver in satisfaction of such exercise, then unless the Holder elects to void such attempted exercise, the Holder may require the Company to pay to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days of the applicable exercise, cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the quotient determined by dividing (x) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company is unable to deliver pursuant to this Section 1(g), by (y) the total number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant) and (ii) the Black Scholes Value; provided, that (x) references to “the day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction” in the definition of “Black Scholes Value” shall instead refer to “the date the Holder exercises this Warrant and the Company cannot deliver the required number of Warrant Shares because of an Authorized Share Failure” and (y) clause (iii) of the definition of “Black Scholes Value” shall instead refer to “the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the highest Weighted Average Price during the period beginning on the date of the applicable date of exercise and the date that the Company makes the applicable cash payment.”

 

2.       ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a)       [Reserved].

 

(b)       Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Shares of Common Stock. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

4 

 

 

3.       RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend 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, stock or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets 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, and the Company shall reserve the Holder’s pro rata share of the Distribution pending complete exercise of this Warrant, 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 or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent).

 

4.       PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

 

(a)       Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled, and the Company shall reserve the Holder’s pro rata share of the Purchase Rights pending complete exercise of this Warrant, 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 or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) 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, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent).

 

5 

 

 

(b)       Fundamental Transactions. 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 as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, until the first anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction shall be capped at the initial Exercise Price of this Warrant; provided, further, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors or the consideration is not in all stock of the Successor Entity, Holder shall have the option to require the Company or any Successor Entity to purchase its Warrant for the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of such Fundamental Transaction using the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the 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 and the Purchase Agreement 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 and the Purchase Agreement 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 and the Purchase Agreement with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

11.       CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

 

12.       DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a Prospectus Supplement, dated March 19, 2020, to a Prospectus, dated July 30, 2019 (the “Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement”), filed pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-232764 (the “Registration Statement”) and filed by the Company with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Prospectus Supplement relates to the sale of an aggregate of (i) 4,153,383 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,132,333 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares” and, collectively with the Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Securities”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated March 19, 2020, between the Company and the purchasers named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement. This opinion is being rendered in connection with the filing of the Prospectus Supplement with the Commission. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Registration Statement.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have (i) examined and relied upon: (A) the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the form of the Pre-Funded Warrants to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, (C) the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, as currently in effect and (D) the originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below; and (ii) assumed that the Securities to be sold by the Company will be sold at a price and on terms established by the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly constituted pricing committee thereof in accordance with Section 153 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon a certificate of an officer of the Company and have not independently verified such matters. In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on signed documents; the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents where due authorization, execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof (except we have not made such assumption with respect to the Company).

 

Our opinion is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and, as to the Pre-Funded Warrants constituting valid and binding obligations of the Company, the laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction. No opinion is expressed herein with respect to the qualification of the Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of any state or any foreign jurisdiction. 

 

With regard to our opinion concerning the Pre-Funded Warrants constituting valid and binding obligations of the Company:

 

 

 

 

(i) Our opinion is subject to, and may be limited by, (a) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, debtor and creditor, and similar laws which relate to or affect creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing) regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

(ii) Our opinion is subject to the qualification that the availability of specific performance, an injunction or other equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of the court before which the request is brought.

 

(iii) We express no opinion as to any provision of the Pre-Funded Warrants that: (a) provides for liquidated damages, buy-in damages, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole payments or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions may constitute unlawful penalties, (b) relates to advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitations, trial by jury, or procedural rights, (c) restricts non-written modifications and waivers, (d) provides for the payment of legal and other professional fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy, (e) relates to exclusivity, election or accumulation of rights or remedies, or (f) provides that provisions of the Pre-Funded Warrants are severable to the extent an essential part of the agreed exchange is determined to be invalid and unenforceable.

 

(iv) We express no opinion as to whether a state court outside of the State of New York or a federal court of the United States would give effect to the choice of New York law provided for in the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

With respect to the Warrant Shares, we express no opinion to the extent that, notwithstanding its current reservation of shares of Common Stock, future issuances of securities, including the Warrant Shares, of the Company and/or adjustments to outstanding securities, including the Pre-Funded Warrants, of the Company may cause the Pre-Funded Warrants to be exercisable for more shares of Common Stock than the number that remain authorized but unissued. Further, we have assumed the Exercise Price (as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrants) will not be adjusted to an amount below the par value per share of the Common Stock.

 

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that (i) the Shares, when sold and issued in accordance with the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) provided that the Pre-Funded Warrants have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and duly delivered to the purchasers thereof against payment therefor, the Pre-Funded Warrants, when sold and issued as contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, and (iii) the Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and to the use of this Firm’s name therein and in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C.

(aa)            Solvency. Except as set forth on Schedule (aa), based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, and the Company’s good faith estimate of the fair market value of its assets, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments.

Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):

 

(a)               Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(b)               Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

 

(c)               Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

 

22

 

 

(d)               Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(e)               Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.  Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Financial Advisor nor any Affiliate of the Financial Advisor has provided such Purchaser with any information or advice with respect to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired.  Neither the Financial Advisor nor any Affiliate has made or makes any representation as to the Company or the quality of the Securities and the Financial Advisor and any Affiliate may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which such Purchaser agrees need not be provided to it.  In connection with the issuance of the Securities to such Purchaser, neither the Financial Advisor nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Purchaser.

 

(f)                Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

 

23

 

 

(g)               General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

(h)               No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and performance under the other Transaction Documents and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto or thereto do not and will not (i) result in a violation of such Purchaser’s charter documents, bylaws or other organizational documents, if applicable, (ii) conflict with nor constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under any agreement to which such Purchaser is a party, nor (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to such Purchaser or its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such Purchaser). Such Purchaser is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or perform under the other Transaction Documents nor to purchase the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, such Purchaser is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company herein.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (1) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred.

4.10          Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

(b)               From the date hereof until the 9-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.

 

(c)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of (i) Common Stock issued as payment of interest for the month of April 2020 pursuant to the B3D Credit Agreement, (ii) if the Company seeks to pay interest for the month of May 2020 pursuant to the B3D Credit Agreement prior to May 2, 2020, solely to the extent that the price per share of Common Stock to be issued to B3D for the month of May 2020 would be greater than the Per Share Purchase Price and (iii) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any Securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities and any term thereof have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities.

 

4.12          Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

 

29

 

 

4.13          Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

 

4.14          Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Pre-Funded Warrants sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentences, 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 in order to exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Company shall honor exercises of the Pre-Funded Warrants and shall deliver Pre-Funded Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers holding at least 70% in interest of the component of the affected Securities then outstanding or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and holder of Securities and the Company.

 

5.6              Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

5.7              Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger). Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”

 

5.8              No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Financial Advisor shall be the third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3.1 and the representations and warranties of the Purchasers in Section 3.2. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8 and this Section 5.8.

 

5.9              Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.

 

32

 

 

5.10          Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.

 

5.11          Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.12          Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

5.13          Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that in the case of a rescission of an exercise of a Pre-Funded Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Pre-Funded Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

 

5.14          Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

33

 

 

5.15          Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

5.16          Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

5.17          Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through EGS. EGS does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Financial Advisor. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

 

34

 

 

5.18          Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

 

5.19          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 Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

5.20          Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

 

5.21          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

 

5.22          Equitable Adjustment. Trading volume amounts, price/volume amounts, the amount of Pre-Funded Warrants, the amount of shares of Common Stock identified in this Agreement and similar figures in the Transaction Documents shall be equitably adjusted (but without duplication) to offset the effect of stock splits, similar events and as otherwise described in the Transaction Documents.

Exhibit 10.2

 

FORM OF EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

           THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of March 19, 2020, by and between XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [ ] (the “Investor”).

 

           WHEREAS:

 

A.   Pursuant to that certain [ ], dated as of [ ], by and among the Company and the investors party thereto (the “Agreement”), the Investor and certain other investors (the “Other Investors” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”) received, among other securities, warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) as set forth therein (the “Warrant Shares”);

 

B.   The Company and the Investor desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, at the Closing (as defined below), and subject to receipt of the approval of the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) and the receipt of the approval of the shareholders of the Company to increase the Company’s authorized shares pursuant to its certificate of incorporation (collectively, the “Shareholder Approval”), the Company and the Investor shall exchange the Warrants held by the investor at the Closing as determined pursuant to Section 1(a) below; and

 

C.   The exchange of the Warrants for the securities to be issued pursuant to Section 1(a) below are each being made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

                 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. EXCHANGE.

 

(a)       Exchange. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions with respect to the Closing set forth in Sections 4 and 5 below, at the Closing the Investor and the Company shall, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, exchange the Warrants for a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares and (ii) 1.5; provided, however, that if the Base Share Price (as defined in the Warrants) is greater than the average the two lowest VWAPs during the five (5) trading days prior to the receipt of Shareholder Approval (the “Average VWAP”), then, for purposes of this Section 1(a), the number of Warrant Shares shall equal the quotient resulting from (x) the aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants), divided by (y) the Average VWAP; provided, further, however, that in no event shall such Average VWAP be less than $0.01 (the “Floor Price”), and it being understood that if the Average VWAP is less than the Floor Price, the Average VWAP shall be equal to the Floor Price (the “Exchange”). For example, if the Holder presently holds Warrant Shares to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock and the Base Share Price is equal to $0.20 and the Average VWAP is equal to $0.05, the Holder will exchange the Warrant Shares for 6,000 shares, which is equal to the product of (i) 4,000 shares and (ii) 1.5. Notwithstanding anything herein, if the Investor would otherwise beneficially own in excess of any beneficial ownership limitation applicable to the Investor after giving effect to the Exchange, the Investor’s Warrants shall be exchanged for a number of Shares issuable to the Investor without violating the applicable beneficial ownership limitation and the remainder of the Investor’s Warrants shall automatically convert into pre-funded warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the applicable beneficial ownership limitation (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). The form of pre-funded warrant is set forth as Exhibit A.

 

For purposes of this Section 1(a), “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a trading market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on a trading market but is then reported on the OTC Pink Marketplace maintained by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the first such facility (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Investor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

 

 

 

 

i.       Closing. The issuance of the Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants, as the case may be (the “Closing”), shall occur at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., 666 3rd Avenue, New York, NY 10017. The date and time of the Closing shall be 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the first (1st) Business Day on which the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 4 and 5 below are satisfied or waived (or such later date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and each Investor) (the “Closing Date”). If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Shares within 2 trading days of the date on which the conditions set forth in Sections 4 and 5 are satisfied or waived, or, as to shares underlying Pre-Funded Warrants within 2 trading days of the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Company shall pay to the Investor, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares or underlying shares subject to such delivery obligation (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date hereof as to Shares and of the applicable Notice of Exercise as to shares underlying Prefunded Warrants), $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 applicable due date until such shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Investor.

 

ii.      Consideration. At the Closing, the Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants shall be issued to the Investor in exchange for the Warrants without the payment of any additional consideration.

 

iii.     Delivery. In exchange for the Warrants, the Company shall, at the Closing, (i) cause American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (together with any subsequent transfer agent, the “Transfer Agent”) through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to credit the Shares to the Investor’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system and (ii) if applicable, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor Pre-Funded Warrants. As of the Closing Date, all of the Investor’s rights under the Warrants shall be extinguished.

  

(b)       Other Documents. The Company and the Investor shall execute and/or deliver such other documents and agreements as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the Exchange.

 

2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

(a)       Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

i.       Organization; Authority. The Investor is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full capacity, right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority, as applicable, to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and performance by the Investor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of the Investor. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Investor, and when delivered by the Investor in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

ii.       Understandings or Arrangements. The Investor is acquiring the Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants hereunder as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (this representation and warranty not limiting the Investor’s right to sell the Shares pursuant to any effective registration statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Investor is acquiring the Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

 

 

 

 

iii.       Reliance on Exemptions.

WHEREAS, the Company and certain purchasers (each, a “Purchaser” and together, the “Purchasers”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2020 (as amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchasers have agreed to purchase, and the Company has agreed to sell, an aggregate of $1,500,000 in Common Shares of the Company;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and certain additional investors entered into an Exchange Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2020 (as amended from time to time, the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which such investors have agreed to exchange certain warrants held by such investor for shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement requires (i) the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast at a duly called meeting of the holders of a majority in voting power of the Company’s voting stock entitled to vote thereon pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) and (ii) the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date to increase the Company’s authorized shares;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Stockholder have agreed that the voting power of the Subject Shares will be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement from the date hereof through the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (such period, the “Voting Period”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Stockholder have agreed that the Stockholder will not transfer the Subject Shares from the date hereof through the earlier of (a) the initial record date set for the matters specified in Section 2.1 hereof or (b) March 31, 2020 (such period, the “Restricted Period”); and

 

WHEREAS, as an inducement to each Purchaser’s willingness to enter into the Purchase Agreement and the Exchange Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, transactions from which the Stockholder believes it will each derive substantial benefits through its ownership interests in the Company, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, during the Voting Period, such Stockholder shall, if a meeting of stockholders of the Company is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and vote (or cause to be voted), and if an action is to be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting, provide a written consent, in respect of all its Subject Shares, in each case (i) in favor of (A) any proposal to adopt and approve or reapprove the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (B) waiving any notice requirements applicable to the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents or applicable law, and (ii) against (X) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Exchange Agreement and (Y) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that is intended or would result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Purchase Agreement or Exchange Agreement or the Stockholder under this Agreement.

 

Section 2.2     Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. If requested by the Company, each Stockholder shall appoint a designee selected by the Company, as such Stockholder’s proxy, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote during the Voting Period with respect to any and all of the Subject Shares on the matters and in the manner specified in Section 2.1. Each Stockholder shall take all further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of any such proxy. Each Stockholder affirms that any irrevocable proxy given by it with respect to the Purchase Agreement, the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be given to the Company’s designee by such Stockholder to secure the performance of the obligations of such Stockholder under this Agreement. It is agreed that the Company’s designee (and its officers on behalf of the Company) will use the irrevocable proxy that may be granted by the Stockholder only in accordance with applicable law and that, to the extent the Company’s designee (and its officers on behalf of the Company) uses any such irrevocable proxy, it will only vote the Subject Shares subject to such irrevocable proxy with respect to the matters specified in, and in accordance with the provisions of, Section 2.1.

 

Section 2.3     Nature of Irrevocable Proxy. Any proxy granted pursuant to Section 2.2 to the Company’s designee by a Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney granted by such Stockholder and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given or written consent executed (and if given or executed, shall not be effective) by such Stockholder with respect thereto. Any proxy that may be granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, but shall survive the death or incapacity of such Stockholder and any obligation of such Stockholder under this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives and successors of such Stockholder.

Exhibit 99.2

 

XpresSpa seeks to support COVID-19 testing in 46 locations across 23 US Airports

 

 

XpresSpa Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XSPA) (“XpresSpa” or the “Company”), today announced that it has reached out to multiple government agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as well as private laboratories across the country. The Company has engaged in early high-level discussions with regards to turning all of its 46 airport locations, with many, located in point of entry cities, such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, and Washington DC into COVID-19 testing facilities. The Company believes that its spas offer a range of spaces that can be set up to test airport staff, flight crews, and passengers.

 

The international airports across the United States are on the front lines of defense for combating entry into the US for people with the Cronavirus. Xpresspa, having locations in all of these key ports of entry is uniquely positioned to help in this fight. As a health and wellness company the majority of its employees are state licensed which includes training in disease containment. In addition, XpresSpa employees are already TSA security approved so they can be trained and deployed immediately.

 

Doug Satzman, XpresSpa, Chief Executive Officer, said, ”We believe we can we help alleviate some of the long waits for travelers entering the US but we can also be available to test TSA employees, pilots, Flight Attendants and other airport personnel who are on the front lines helping to keep our nation safe.” 

 

Doug Satzman, further stated “As the largest operator of health and wellness spas located within these US point of entry airports, we believe our facilities could be of great utility in helping our government test people as quickly as possible. We will work closely with local airport authorities on all plans. While we cannot ensure that an arrangement will ultimately be consummated, we remain optimistic, that we can play a vital role with some of these entities.”

 

We will continue to update our shareholders as more information becomes available.
