Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Aditxt, Inc. (the “Company”) on October 8, 2021 (the “October 8-K”), the Company entered into a transaction agreement on October 4, 2021 (the “Transaction Agreement”) with AiPharma Global Holdings LLC (“AiPharma Global”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to reach a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) no later than November 30, 2021 to acquire a subsidiary (“AiPharma Subsidiary”) of AiPharma Global, which is to own all of the assets of AiPharma Global following a restructuring of AiPharma Global, subject to certain termination rights as described in the October 8-K.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 30, 2021, the Company entered into a secured credit agreement dated August 27, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”) with AiPharma Global and certain affiliated entities, pursuant to which the Company made a secured loan to AiPharma Global in the principal amount of $6.5 million, which was subsequently increased to $8.5 million upon entering into the Transaction Agreement. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into security agreements with certain affiliates of AiPharma Global.

 

On December 1, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement Amendment”) with AiPharma Global, pursuant to which the Company agreed to: (i) extend the outside date by which the parties shall reach a definitive agreement from November 30, 2021 to December 16, 2021, (ii) to remove the Termination Fee (as defined in the October 8-K), and (iii) to require the Company to make an aggregate cash payment of $500,000, in one or more payments, upon the initial closing or secondary closing under the Transaction Agreement. In connection with the Transaction Agreement Amendment, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) with AiPharma Global, pursuant to which the Company agreed to: (i) reduce the borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement from $8.5 million to $8 million, and (ii) extend the maturity date of the loan to December 16, 2021.

 

On December 2, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had entered into the Transaction Agreement Amendment and the Credit Agreement Amendment.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Transaction Agreement Amendment and Credit Agreement Amendment are qualified in their entirety to the complete text of the Transaction Agreement Amendment and Credit Agreement Amendment, copies of which will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year December 31, 2021, and are intended to provide investors and security holders with information regarding their respective terms.  Such descriptions are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, AiPharma Global or AiPharma Subsidiary.  The Transaction Agreement, as amended and Credit Agreement, as amended, contain representations and warranties that the parties to such agreements made to, and solely for the benefit of, each other.  The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are subject, in some cases, to specified exceptions, qualifications, limitations and supplemental information, including knowledge qualifiers and contractual standards of materiality, such as materiality qualifiers and the occurrence of a material adverse effect, that are different from those generally applicable under federal securities law, as well as detailed information set forth in disclosure letter provided by us in connection with signing the Transaction Agreement and Credit Agreement.  In addition, some representations and warranties may have been included in the Transaction Agreement and Credit Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the Company and AiPharma Global rather than to establish matters as facts.  The Transaction Agreement, as amended and Credit Agreement, as amended are described in this Current Report on Form 8-K only to provide you with information regarding their respective terms and conditions, and not to provide any other factual information regarding the Company or its business.  Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since (i) they were made only as of the respective dates of the Transaction Agreement or Credit Agreement, or a prior, specified date, (ii) in some cases they are subject to knowledge, materiality and material adverse effect qualifiers, and (iii) they are modified in important part by detailed information included in the disclosure letter.  Finally, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the respective dates of the Transaction Agreement, as amended, or Credit Agreement, as amended, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
