Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Effective September 4, 2014, ProPhase Labs, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “us”) consummated a definitive, global Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) resolving all of its litigation with certain of the Company’s former managers and with certain shareholders. The cases that have been settled include ProPhase Labs, Inc. v. Quigley, et al. , Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Civ. A. No. 2010-08227; ProPhase Labs, Inc. v. Quigley, et al. , Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Civ. A. No. 2011-09815; the appeal filed by the plaintiff in the matter Quigley v. ProPhase Labs. Inc.’s Officers and Directors, el al , Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, December Term, 2011, No. 111200409; together with certain ancillary litigation.

 

Terms of the Settlement .

 

The Settlement Agreement resolving these matters provides in part that the parties adverse to the Company in the two Bucks County cases will:

 

(i) return to the Company up to 3,896,764 shares of the Company’s common stock for which they are listed as the record owners to the Company; and

 

(ii) remit $440,000 to the Company.

 

Of the 3,896,764 Company shares which are the subject to the Settlement Agreement, a tranche of 1,453,427 shares (the “Option Shares”) are the subject of a prior agreement between the holder of those shares and a third party whereby the third party obtained an option to acquire those shares. The Option Shares have been escrowed, and in the event the aforesaid option is validly exercised, the Company will receive the net proceeds ( i.e., net of $500,000 of expenses and costs one of the defendants would incur which the Company will defray, as set forth below) of the purchase price for those Option Shares, and the shares would then be delivered to the purchaser. If the third party does not acquire the Option Shares, the shares will be delivered to the Company.

 

The Settlement Agreement also provides that the Company, in turn, will fund, or will deduct from the exercise price to be paid if the option is exercised, up to $500,000 for the benefit of one of the defendants, to defray certain costs and expenses associated with the transactions concerning the Option Shares.

 

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties also have agreed to (i) a mutual release of all claims, (ii) a standstill agreement whereby, for a period of ten years, the adverse parties will not acquire Company shares, and (iii) the dismissal of all pending litigation involving the Company, its directors and affiliates on the one hand, and the other parties.

 

On September 10, 2014, we issued a press release announcing the Settlement Agreement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

 

Item 2.06 Material Impairments.

 

We will likely report a $3.6 million charge for the impairment of our intangible asset, certain licensed technology, related to our Phusion Laboratories, LLC (“Phusion”) joint venture during the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

  

As previously announced, the Company is implementing a series of new product development and pre-commercialization initiatives principally in the dietary supplement category. While several of our product development initiatives have advanced, including those specific to the dietary supplement category, our Phusion product development initiatives have not progressed to management’s satisfaction. At this time, management believes that any products embodying the licensed technology to be developed by Phusion will not be available until fiscal 2016 or 2017 at the earliest, may be more limited than previously forecasted and may encompass fewer products or have limited retail distribution.

 

 
 

 

Pursuant to our established accounting policies, we conducted the fiscal 2013 annual analysis of our intangible asset as of December 31, 2013 by comparing the estimated fair value of the licensed technology based on the income approach (which utilizes forecasted discounted cash flows to estimate the fair value of the licensed technology) against the then carrying value. As we concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, the fair value according to the income approach exceeded book value, we concluded there was no impairment of the subject intangible asset.

 

However, during the third quarter of fiscal 2014, our evaluation of the Company’s progress in its new product development pipeline and continued delays in Phusion product development raised questions as to whether projections (including income projections) relied upon in December 2013 remained valid. Accordingly, management will perform an impairment analysis for the period ended September 30, 2014 for the licensed technology. At this time, management believes that our impairment assessment will likely result in a full impairment of the intangible asset, licensed technology and that a $3.6 million impairment charge will likely be incurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

  

On September 10, 2014, we issued a press release announcing the $3.6 million impairment charge relating to our Phusion Joint Venture. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K.

 

The information in this report, including Exhibit 99.1, Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated by reference therein.

ProPhase Finalizes Resolution of Long-Standing Litigations

 

DOYLESTOWN, PA--(Marketwire – September 10, 2014) - ProPhase Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPH) ( www.ProPhaseLabs.com ) announced today the Company has consummated a definitive, global Settlement Agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) resolving all of its litigation with certain of the Company’s former managers and with certain shareholders. The cases that have been settled include ProPhase Labs, Inc. v. Quigley, et al. , Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Civ. A. No. 2010-08227; ProPhase Labs, Inc. v. Quigley, et al. , Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Civ. A. No. 2011-09815; the appeal filed by the plaintiff in the matter Quigley v. ProPhase Labs. Inc.’s Officers and Directors, el al , Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, December Term, 2011, No. 111200409; together with certain ancillary litigation.

 

Terms of the Settlement .

 

The Settlement Agreement resolving these matters provides in part that the parties adverse to the Company in the two Bucks County cases will:

 

(i) return to the Company up to 3,896,764 shares of the Company’s common stock for which they are listed as the record owners to the Company; and

 

(ii) remit $440,000 to the Company.

 

Of the 3,896,764 Company shares which are the subject to the Settlement Agreement, a tranche of 1,453,427 shares (the “Option Shares”) are the subject of a prior agreement between the holder of those shares and a third party whereby the third party obtained an option to acquire those shares. The Option Shares have been escrowed, and in the event the aforesaid option is validly exercised, the Company will receive the net proceeds ( i.e., net of $500,000 of expenses and costs one of the defendants would incur which the Company will defray, as set forth below) of the purchase price for those Option Shares, and the shares would then be delivered to the purchaser. If the third party does not acquire the Option Shares, the shares will be delivered to the Company.

 

The Settlement Agreement also provides that the Company, in turn, will fund, or will deduct from the exercise price to be paid if the option is exercised, up to $500,000 for the benefit of one of the defendants, to defray certain costs and expenses associated with the transactions concerning the Option Shares.

 

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties also have agreed to (i) a mutual release of all claims, (ii) a standstill agreement whereby, for a period of ten years, the adverse parties will not acquire Company shares, and (iii) the dismissal of all pending litigation involving the Company, its directors and affiliates on the one hand, and the other parties.

 

 
 

 

Ted Karkus, the CEO of the Company, stated: “This Settlement Agreement resolves important legal issues for the Company and returns a significant number of shares to our treasury. We will reduce the number of shares outstanding from 19,299,213 shares to either (x) 15,402,449 shares and no additional cash consideration to the Company if the option is not exercised, or, (y) in the event of the valid exercise of the option and the purchase of all of the Option Shares, 16,855,876 shares would be outstanding and the Company would receive net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million in cash ( i.e., net of the $500,000 expense reimbursement provisions referred to above). Perhaps most important, these arrangements allow the Company and its management team to devote all of their time, attention and resources towards the continued growth and success of ProPhase.

 

Mr. Karkus added: “The return of these shares to the Company will help offset dilution which might arise from issuing more shares in the future to continue to fund working capital and new product development costs.”

Ted Karkus, the CEO of the Company, stated: “We are currently assessing our Phusion Joint Venture and its future. Our product pipeline for cold remedy products and dietary supplements is encouraging while the Phusion joint venture product development initiatives have stagnated. As a matter of accounting practice, the impairment charge is likely required at this time. We have not abandoned the licensed technology and remain committed to recovery of our investment, however, we cannot currently offer assurances those efforts will be successful”

Guy Quigley will take no action to hinder the Company’s efforts to achieve such a determination, provided that Mr. Quigley shall bear no costs arising from this effort. Contingent upon the result of the Company’s efforts to determine whether the Option Agreement remains in force, the shares subject to that agreement Option shall be disposed of as follows:

 

(a) Alternative 1: If, at the time of the Closing it has been determined that the Option Agreement is no longer in force, or if HIG/Matrixx has agreed not to exercise its rights under the Option Agreement, then:

 

(i) At the Closing, Guy Quigley shall deliver to the Company an assignment and transfer of the subject shares, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, together with duly authorized and executed irrevocable stock powers transferring ownership of the 1,453,427 shares, deemed to transfer (as described in Section II.B.2) at a price of $1.31/share to ProPhase Labs.

 

(ii) The Company shall remit to Eastburn & Gray, for the benefit of Guy and Wendy Quigley, a payment of $500,000 which shall be placed in an escrow account established for this purpose pursuant to an escrow agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A.

 

(b) Alternative 2: If the Option Agreement remains in force at the time of Closing, and HIG/Matrixx retains the right to exercise an option to purchase all or some of the 1,453,427 shares covered by that agreement, then:

 

(i) On or before the closing date, Guy Quigley shall deliver to Eastburn & Gray: all stock certificates evidencing Mr. Quigley’s ownership of the 1,453,427 shares; an undated executed assignment and transfer of such shares, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances; an undated duly authorized and executed irrevocable stock transfer power for such shares in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Eastburn & Gray shall hold these certificates and stock transfer powers pending an effective exercise or failure to exercise the Option by HIG/Matrixx; and

 

(ii) Mr. Quigley shall deliver to ProPhase Labs an executed version of the document attached hereto as Exhibit C authorizing HIG/Matrixx to deposit any amount paid by HIG/Matrixx to exercise its option into the Eastburn & Gray escrow account established pursuant to Section II(B)(5)(a).

 

(iii) If HIG/Matrixx exercises its option to purchase all 1,453,427 shares permitted under the Option Agreement, Eastburn & Gray shall disburse $1,534,798 of the total proceeds it received in good funds from HIG/Matrixx or Guy Quigley from such exercise ($2,034,798) to the Company within two (2) business days.

(iv) If HIG/Matrixx exercises its option but elects to purchase fewer than 1,453,427 shares and releases the remaining shares to Guy Quigley, then:

 

a. Eastburn & Gray shall promptly deliver the stock certificate(s) and stock transfer powers for the stock not acquired by HIG/Matrixx to ProPhase Labs; and

 

b. Eastburn & Gray shall disburse to the Company the proceeds from HIG/Matrixx’s exercise, less $500,000 to be retained in the Eastburn & Gray account for the benefit of Mr. Quigley. If the proceeds from the HIG/Matrixx exercise are less than $500,000, the Company, upon receipt of the stock referred to in Section IIB3(b)(iv)(a) above, shall remit to Eastburn & Gray, for the benefit of Guy and Wendy Quigley, a payment totaling the difference between $500,000 and the proceeds from the HIG/Matrixx exercise.

 

(c) Alternative 3: If HIG/Matrixx does not exercise any rights it has under the Option Agreement and the Agreement expires, then:

 

(i) Promptly following the expiration of the option the Company shall remit to Eastburn & Gray a payment of $500,000 for the benefit of Guy Quigley; and

 

(ii) Upon receipt of such payment, Eastburn & Gray shall promptly deliver the stock certificate(s) and stock transfer powers from the entire 1,453,427 shares to the Company.

 

4. In addition to the shares described in Section II.B.1 above, an additional 338,000 shares of ProPhase Labs common stock are reflected on the books and records of the Company and the books and records of its transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, (AST) in Account 0000011277 as being owned by Chilesha (stock certificate TQC0002633) (the 338,000 Shares). According to the Company’s books and records and the books and records of AST the 338,000 Shares were transferred to Chilesha from Pacific Rim Pharmaceuticals, LTD. Chilesha and Currivan dispute that they, or either of them, or any entity in which they held an interest, owned or ever owned the 338,000 Shares. ScandaSystems, LTD (UK), Gary Quigley and Graham Brandon dispute that they, or any of them, or any entity in which they had an interest, owned or ever owned or transferred the 338,000 Shares. In order to effectuate settlement, and without conceding any ownership interest in the 338,000 Shares, Chilesha, Currivan, ScandaSystems, LTD (UK), Gary Quigley and Brandon agree to transfer, convey and assign to ProPhase whatever ownership interest they or any of them have in the 338,000 Shares. Furthermore Chilesha, Currivan, ScandaSystems, LTD (UK), Gary Quigley, Brandon and the Company consent to the Court issuing an Order rescinding all agreements or transactions involving the 338,000 Shares and directing the Company, through its agent AST to cancel certificate TQC0002633 and the 338,000 Shares and hereby authorize their respective counsel to execute on their behalf the Stipulated Order attached as Exhibit D. In consideration of this transfer, consent to cancel and subject to their representations that they have never owned, sold or otherwise transferred the 338,000 Shares as of the date of this Agreement, the Company releases, indemnifies and holds harmless Chilesha, Currivan, ScandaSysytems, LTD (UK), Gary Quigley and Brandon as to claims relating solely to the ownership of the 338,000 Shares. Chilesha, Currivan, ScandaSysytems, LTD (UK), Gary Quigley and Brandon shall cooperate with the Company in the defense and resolution of any such claim and the Company shall have the right to control the defense and settlement of such claim.

 

5. If any shares being transferred to ProPhase Labs pursuant to this Settlement Agreement are evidenced by certificates, the Stockholder-Settlor shall provide ProPhase with such certificates, along with any other documents necessary to effectuate the transfer, by the date of losing.

3. The Escrow Beneficiaries shall deliver to Escrow Agent, and Escrow Agent shall accept and hold, in accordance with this Escrow Agreement, various stock certificates, stock transfer powers, and other documents on behalf of certain of the Escrow Beneficiaries as provided in Section [II.B.(3)] of the Settlement Agreement.

The applicability and operation of such provisions of the Settlement Agreement depend on whether the Option is or is not currently outstanding and/or on whether it has been or will be exercised by HIG/Matrixx.

In the event that the proceeds from the exercise of the Option by HIG/Matrixx is less than $500,000 due to the amount of stock purchased by HIG/Matrixx, the ProPhase, upon receipt from the Escrow Agent of the stock not acquired by HIG/Matrixx under the Option, shall remit to the Escrow Account a payment totaling the difference between $500,000 and the amount of the proceeds from the HIG/Matrixx exercise for the benefit of Guy Quigley.

 

 
 

 

(iii) Upon the receipt of the payment under Section 7(b)(i) and the Written Instruction under Section 7(b)(ii), Escrow Agent shall disburse the funds and release the shares in accordance with the Written Instruction as provided in accordance with Section 7(b)(ii) herein.
