Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Exchange Agreement

 

On February 23, 2017, iBio, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Exchange Agreement with Bryan Capital Investors LLC (“Bryan Capital Investors”), the minority owner of the Company’s subsidiary iBio CMO LLC (“iBio CMO”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued to Bryan Capital Investors one share of the Company’s iBio CMO Preferred Tracking Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Tracking Stock”), in exchange for 29,990,000 units of limited liability company interests of iBio CMO held by Bryan Capital Investors. The terms of the Preferred Tracking Stock are described under Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

After giving effect to the transactions contemplated in the Exchange Agreement, the Company owns 99.99% of iBio CMO and Bryan Capital Investors owns 0.01% of iBio CMO.

 

Bryan Capital Investors is an affiliate of Eastern Capital Limited, a stockholder of the Company. On January 13, 2016, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Eastern Capital Limited which contained a three-year standstill agreement restricting additional acquisitions of the Company’s equity by Eastern Capital Limited and its controlled affiliates to limit its beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock to a maximum of 38%, absent the approval by a majority of the Company’s board of directors. With respect to the standstill agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors, acting unanimously, invited Bryan Capital Investors to enter into the Exchange Agreement and approved the issuance of one share of the Company’s Preferred Tracking Stock to Bryan Capital Investors.

 

The issuance of the share of Preferred Tracking Stock to Bryan Capital Investors under the Exchange Agreement is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is a condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 prepared to give effect to the transactions contemplated in the Exchange Agreement.

 

Amendment to iBio CMO LLC Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement

 

In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the Company and Bryan Capital Investors entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of iBio CMO. The amendment provides that Bryan Capital Investors may continue to appoint one manager to iBio CMO’s board of managers, so long as Bryan Capital Investors or its affiliates hold any interest in iBio CMO. The Company continues to have the right to appoint a majority of the board of managers of iBio CMO. The amendment further provides that Bryan Capital Investor’s approval is required for any additional capital contributions to iBio CMO. However, if iBio CMO’s board of managers determines that additional capital contributions are required, iBio CMO’s members have agreed to negotiate in good faith the terms of such additional capital contributions.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

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

 

 

 

 

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

On February 23, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company created a series of preferred stock, designated as the “iBio CMO Preferred Tracking Stock,” par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Tracking Stock”), out of the Company’s 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. On February 23, 2017, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) which became effective on February 23, 2017, authorizing one share of Preferred Tracking Stock and establishing the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the Preferred Tracking Stock. The Preferred Tracking Stock accrues dividends at the rate of 2% per annum on the original issue price of $13 million per share. The holders of Preferred Tracking Stock, voting separately as a class, are entitled to approve by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Preferred Tracking Stock outstanding any amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of, or any other change to, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company or the Certificate of Designation that adversely affects the rights, powers or privileges of the Preferred Tracking Stock, any increase in the number of authorized shares of Preferred Tracking Stock, the issuance or sale of any additional shares of Preferred Tracking Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Preferred Tracking Stock, the creation or issuance of any shares of any additional class or series of capital stock unless the same ranks junior to the Preferred Tracking Stock, or the reclassification or alteration of any existing security of the Company that is junior to or pari passu with the Preferred Tracking Stock, if such reclassification or alteration would render such other security senior to the Preferred Tracking Stock. Except as required by applicable law, the holders of Preferred Tracking Stock have no other voting rights. Accrued dividends are payable if and when declared by the Board of Directors, upon an exchange of the shares of Preferred Tracking Stock and upon a liquidation, winding up or deemed liquidation (such as a merger) of the Company. No dividend may be declared or paid or set aside for payment or other distribution declared or made upon the Company’s common stock and no common stock may be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration by the Company unless all accrued dividends on all outstanding shares of Preferred Tracking Stock are paid in full.

 

At the election of the Company or holders of a majority outstanding shares of Preferred Tracking Stock, each outstanding share of Preferred Tracking Stock may be exchanged for 29,990,000 units of limited liability company interests of iBio CMO. Such exchange may be effected only after March 31, 2018, or in connection with a winding up, liquidation or deemed liquidation (such as a merger) of the Company or iBio CMO. In addition, such exchange will take effect upon a change in control of iBio CMO.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On February 23, 2017, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the Certificate of Designation, effective as of February 23, 2017. The information set forth under “Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders” is incorporated herein by reference thereto. A copy of the Certificate of Designation is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings given in Article VIII.

 

RESOLVED, that a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Issuer be, and hereby is, created, and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the voting and other powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are as follows:

 

Article I.       Designation and Number of Shares

 

Section 1.01        There shall be created from the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Issuer (the “ Preferred Stock ”) authorized to be issued pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Issuer, as amended (the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”), a series of Preferred Stock, designated as the “iBio CMO Preferred Tracking Stock,” par value $0.001 per share (the “ Preferred Tracking Stock ”), and the authorized number of shares of Preferred Tracking Stock shall be one (1). Shares of the Preferred Tracking Stock that are exchanged for units of limited liability company interests of iBio CMO LLC (“ Units ”) as provided herein, shall be cancelled and shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.

 

Article II.       Dividends

Section 2.01

 

(a)       Dividends equal to the Accruing Dividend Amount shall accrue on each share of Preferred Tracking Stock from the Issuance Date. The “ Accruing Dividend Amount ” shall mean with respect to each share of Preferred Tracking Stock, an amount accruing day-to-day at the rate per annum of two percent (2%) of the Original Issue Price. The Accruing Dividend Amount shall accrue, whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative. Except as provided in Section 3.01 in connection with an Issuer Deemed Liquidation Event and Section 5.03 in connection with a Mandatory Exchange, the accrued dividends on the Preferred Tracking Stock shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board.

 

1  

 

 

(b)       No dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment or other distribution declared or made upon the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Issuer (the “ Common Stock ”) or upon any other stock ranking junior to the Preferred Tracking Stock as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, nor shall any Common Stock nor any other stock of the Issuer ranking junior to or on a parity with the Preferred Tracking Stock as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any monies be paid to, set aside or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such stock) by the Issuer (except by conversion into or exchange for stock of the Issuer ranking junior to the Preferred Tracking Stock as to dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation), unless, in each case, all accrued dividends on all outstanding shares of Preferred Tracking Stock theretofore shall have been, or shall then simultaneously therewith be, paid in full.

 

(c)       The Board, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.01(a) and 2.01(b), may, in its sole discretion, declare dividends payable exclusively to the Holders of Common Stock, exclusively to the Holders of Preferred Tracking Stock or to the Holders of all such classes in equal or unequal amounts, notwithstanding the respective voting and liquidation rights of each class, the amount of prior dividends declared on each class or any other factor.

 

Article III.       Liquidation

 

Section 3.01        In the event of an Issuer Deemed Liquidation Event, Holders of shares of Preferred Tracking Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Issuer available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or any other stock ranking junior to the Preferred Tracking Stock as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, all unpaid dividends accrued upon each share of Preferred Tracking Stock held, whether or not declared by the Board, plus any other dividends declared or accrued but unpaid thereon. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Issuer available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the Holders of shares of Preferred Tracking Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section 3.01, the Holders of shares of Preferred Tracking Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares of Preferred Tracking Stock held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares of Preferred Tracking Stock were paid in full.

 

Article IV.       Voting Rights

 

Section 4.01        In addition to any other vote required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the Holders of Preferred Tracking Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be entitled to approve by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Preferred Tracking Stock then outstanding (i) any amendment, alteration or repeal (either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise) of any of the provisions of, or any other change (either directly or indirectly by amendment merger, consolidation or otherwise) to, the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate of Designation which adversely affects the rights, powers or privileges of the Preferred Tracking Stock; and (ii) any increase in the number of authorized shares of Preferred Tracking Stock. Except as required by applicable law or in this Certificate of Designation, the Holders of Preferred Tracking Stock shall have no other voting rights and shall not vote with holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital stock.

 

2  

 

 

Section 4.02        Each Holder of Preferred Tracking Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Preferred Tracking Stock held by such Holder. In the event of (a) any subdivision (by stock split or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split or otherwise) of Preferred Tracking Stock or (b) any dividend or distribution of shares of Preferred Tracking Stock, the per share voting rights of the Preferred Tracking Stock shall be appropriately adjusted, as determined in good faith by the Board, so as to avoid any dilution in the aggregate voting power of the Preferred Tracking Stock relative to the other classes or series of capital stock of the Issuer.

 

Article V.       Exchange

 

Section 5.01        Upon (a) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified in a Mandatory Exchange Notice, or (b) a Change in Control of iBio CMO LLC, each outstanding share of Preferred Tracking Stock shall automatically be exchanged for 29,990,000 Units of iBio CMO LLC, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.02 (the “ Exchange Ratio ”). An exchange effected pursuant to this Section 5.01 is referred to herein as a “ Mandatory Exchange ”.

The Issuer will send or cause to be sent to the Holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock (1) the record date for any dividend, distribution or right of the shares of capital stock of the Issuer or capital stock or other equity interests of iBio CMO LLC, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right or (2) the effective date on which any reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up involving the Issuer or iBio CMO LLC (including, without limitation, any iBio CMO Deemed Liquidation Event, any Issuer Deemed Liquidation Event or any Change in Control of iBio CMO LLC) is proposed to take place. Such notice shall be sent at least 20 Business Days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

Section 5.02        In the event of any subdivision (by stock split or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split or otherwise) of Units or Preferred Tracking Stock or the authorization or the issuance of additional shares of Preferred Tracking Stock, the Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted so that each Holder of Preferred Tracking Stock shall be entitled to receive the number of Units which he, she or it would have owned or been entitled to receive had each share of the Preferred Tracking Stock been exchanged immediately prior to such subdivision, combination or authorization or issuance. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving iBio CMO LLC in which the Units are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Preferred Tracking Stock shall thereafter be exchangeable in lieu of the Units into which it was exchangeable prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of Units issuable upon the exchange of one share of Preferred Tracking Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 5.02 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 5.02 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exchange of the Preferred Tracking Stock.

 

Section 5.03        Upon receipt of a Mandatory Exchange Notice, each Holder of shares of Preferred Tracking Stock shall as promptly as practicable surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such Holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to indemnify the Issuer against any claim that may be made against the Issuer on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Issuer at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Issuer, certificates surrendered for exchange shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Issuer, duly executed by the Holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Exchange Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) representing a Holder’s Preferred Tracking Stock, the issuance of the Units to such Holder in connection with the Mandatory Exchange shall be recorded on the books and records of iBio CMO LLC effective as of the Mandatory Exchange Time and the Issuer shall pay all dividends accrued on such Holder’s shares of Preferred Tracking Stock through the Mandatory Exchange Time.

 

Section 5.04        All shares of Preferred Tracking Stock which have been exchanged as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, dividends with respect to such shares shall cease to accrue after the Mandatory Exchange Time and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Mandatory Exchange Time, except only the right of the Holders thereof to receive Units in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends accrued thereon.

 

Section 5.05        The Issuer shall, and shall cause iBio CMO LLC to, at all times when shares of the Preferred Tracking Stock are outstanding, reserve and keep available, for the purpose of effecting a Mandatory Exchange, the number of Units into which the outstanding shares of Preferred Tracking Stock are exchangeable, and shall take, and shall cause iBio CMO LLC to take, any and all action which may, in the reasonable determination of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Preferred Tracking Stock, be necessary in order to effect any such Mandatory Exchange. Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Exchange, the Issuer and the Holder or Holders of the Preferred Tracking Stock shall appoint a mutually-agreeable third-party appraiser to determine the fair market value at the time of the exchange of the Units to be exchanged. Such determination of fair market value shall be final and binding. The cost of such appraiser shall be borne entirely by the Issuer.

Article VI.       Protective Provisions

 

Section 6.01        So long as any share of the Preferred Tracking Stock is outstanding, the Issuer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation) the affirmative vote or written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the shares of Preferred Tracking Stock then outstanding, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class, and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect:

(d)       Reclassify, alter or amend any existing security of the Issuer that is pari passu with the Preferred Tracking Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer, the payment of dividends or rights of redemption, if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to the Preferred Tracking Stock in respect of any such right, preference or privilege; or

 

(e)       Reclassify, alter or amend any existing security of the Issuer that is junior to the Preferred Tracking Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer, the payment of dividends or rights of redemption, if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to or pari passu with the Preferred Tracking Stock in respect of any such right, preference or privilege.

(a)       This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to conflicts of laws provisions.

 

(b)       In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, between the parties, the parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. In the event that such dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within twenty (20) days, either party may, by written notice to the other, have such dispute referred to the Chief Executive Officer of each party, or his or her designee (who will be a senior executive), who will attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute by negotiation and consultation for a thirty (30) day period following receipt of such written notice.

 

(c)       In the event the parties are not able to resolve such dispute through the negotiation and consultation procedures set forth in Section 5.9(a) , any party may at any time after the applicable negotiation and consultation period submit such dispute to be finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “ AAA ”), including the AAA’s Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes, in effect at the time of the arbitration, except as they may be modified herein or by agreement of each of the parties. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York, New York, and it shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitration and this clause shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code.

 

(d)       The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. The claimant shall appoint an arbitrator in its request for arbitration. The respondent shall appoint an arbitrator within 20 days of the receipt of the request for arbitration. The two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall act as chair of the tribunal, within 20 days after the appointment of the second arbitrator. If any of the three arbitrators is not appointed within the time prescribed above, then the AAA shall appoint that arbitrator from its National Panel of Securities Arbitrators or its Large, Complex Commercial Case Panel, not including any such members affiliated with the securities industry. The chair of the tribunal shall be a citizen of the United States.

 

(e)       In addition to the authority conferred on the arbitration tribunal by the applicable rules, the arbitration tribunal shall have the authority to order such production of documents, generally consistent with the discovery permitted under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as may reasonably be requested by any party or by the tribunal itself. In addition, any party may request a reasonable number of depositions of party witnesses.

 

(f)       The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including but not limited to any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall not be disclosed beyond the tribunal, the AAA, the parties, their counsel, accountants and auditors, insurers and re-insurers, and any Person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding.

17  

 

 

(g)       The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.

 

(h)       In order to facilitate the comprehensive resolution of related disputes, and upon request of any party that is party to the arbitration proceeding, the arbitration tribunal may consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration proceeding involving this Agreement. The arbitration tribunal shall not consolidate such arbitrations unless it determines that (i) there are issues of fact or law common to the related proceedings so that a consolidated proceeding would be more efficient than separate proceedings, and (ii) neither party would be prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise.

 

5.10        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 the other party, it being understood that both 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.

 

5.11        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.

 

5.12        Remedies . In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of Bryan Capital Investors 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.

 

5.13        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.

 

18  

 

 

5.14        Construction .
