Merger Agreement

 

This section describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement (as defined below) but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Form 8-K. Edoc’s shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read such agreement in its entirety. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below are defined in the Merger Agreement.

 

General Description of the Merger Agreement

 

On February 2, 2022, Edoc Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted corporation (together with its successors, “Edoc”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Edoc Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Edoc (“Merger Sub”), American Physicians LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), solely in the capacity as the representative from and after the effective time of the Merger (as defined below) (the “Effective Time”) for the shareholders of Edoc (other than the Calidi Security Holders (as defined below) (the “Purchaser Representative”), Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Calidi”), and Allan Camaisa solely in his capacity as the representative from and after the Effective Time for Calidi’s Security Holders (the “Seller Representative”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Calidi (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), with Calidi continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edoc. In the Merger, (i) all shares of Calidi common stock (together, “Calidi Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than those properly exercising any applicable dissenters rights under Nevada law) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined below); and (ii) each outstanding option to acquire shares of Calidi common stock (whether vested or unvested) will be assumed by Edoc and automatically converted into an option to acquire shares of Edoc common stock, with its price and number of shares equitably adjusted based on the conversion ratio of the shares of Calidi common stock into the Merger Consideration.

 

The Merger Agreement also provides that, prior to the Effective Time, Edoc shall continue out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to re-domicile as and become a Delaware corporation (the “Conversion”). At the Closing, Edoc will change its name to “Calidi Biotherapeutics Holdings Corp.”.

 

Merger Consideration

 

The aggregate merger consideration to be paid pursuant to the Merger Agreement to holders of Calidi Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Calidi Stockholders” and, together with the holders of Calidi options immediately prior to the Effective Time, the “Calidi Security Holders”) will be an amount equal to $400,000,000, subject to adjustments for Calidi’s closing debt, net of cash (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration to be paid to the Calidi Stockholders will be paid solely by the delivery of new shares of Edoc common stock, with each share valued at $10.00 per share. The Merger Consideration will be subject to a post-Closing true up 90 days after the Closing.

 

The Merger Consideration will be allocated among the holders of Calidi’s common stock, pro rata amongst them based on the number of shares of Calidi common stock owned by such stockholder.

Representations and Warranties

 

The Merger Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties by each of Edoc, Merger Sub and Calidi as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the date of the Closing. Many of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” as used in the Merger Agreement means with respect to any specified person or entity, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person or entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of such person or entity or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the ancillary documents to which it is a party or bound or to perform its obligations thereunder, in each case subject to certain customary exceptions. Certain of the representations are subject to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement or in information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement. The representations and warranties made by Edoc and Calidi are customary for transactions similar to the Transactions.

 

No Survival

 

The representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Merger Agreement terminate as of, and do not survive, the Closing, and there are no indemnification rights for another party’s breach. The covenants and agreements of the parties contained in the Merger Agreement do not survive the Closing, except those covenants and agreements to be performed after the Closing, which covenants and agreements will survive until fully performed.

 

Covenants of the Parties

 

Each party agreed in the Merger Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Closing. The Merger Agreement also contains certain customary covenants by each of the parties during the period between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “Interim Period”), including (1) the provision of access to their properties, books and personnel; (2) the operation of their respective businesses in the ordinary course of business; (3) provision of financial statements by Calidi; (4) Edoc’s public filings; (5) no insider trading; (6) notifications of certain breaches, consent requirements or other matters; (7) efforts to consummate the Closing and obtain third party and regulatory approvals; (8) tax matters; (9) further assurances; (10) public announcements and (11) confidentiality. Each party also agreed during the Interim Period not to solicit or enter into any inquiry, proposal or offer, or any indication of interest in making an offer or proposal for an alternative competing transactions, to notify the others as promptly as practicable in writing of the receipt of any inquiries, proposals or offers, requests for information or requests relating to an alternative competing transaction or any requests for non-public information relating to such transaction, and to keep the others informed of the status of any such inquiries, proposals, offers or requests for information. There are also certain customary post-Closing covenants regarding (1) tax matters; (2) maintenance of books and records; (3) indemnification of directors and officers; and (4) use of trust account proceeds.

 

The Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby requires the approval of both Edoc’s shareholders and Calidi’s stockholders. Edoc agreed, as promptly as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement, to prepare, with reasonable assistance from Calidi, and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of the issuance of the shares of Edoc common stock to be issued to the Calidi Stockholders as Merger Consideration and the registration of the common stock of Edoc upon Conversion, and containing a proxy statement/prospectus for the purpose of Edoc soliciting proxies from the shareholders of Edoc to approve the Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby and related matters (the “Edoc Shareholder Approval”) at a special meeting of Edoc’s shareholders (the “Edoc Special Meeting”) and providing such shareholders an opportunity to participate in the redemption by Edoc of its public shareholders in connection with Edoc’s initial business combination, as required by Edoc’s amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and Edoc’s initial public offering prospectus (the “Redemption”). Calidi also agreed in the Merger Agreement to call a meeting of its stockholders use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from Calidi Stockholders proxies in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions and certain related matters (the “Calidi Stockholder Approval”), and to take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure such approvals, including enforcing the Voting Agreement (as described below).

The parties also agreed to take all necessary action, so that effective at the Closing, the entire board of directors of Edoc (the “Post-Closing Board”) will consist of seven individuals, four of whom shall be independent directors in accordance with Nasdaq requirements. One of the members of the Post-Closing Board will be an individual (who shall be an independent director) designated by Edoc prior to the Closing and five of the members of the Post-Closing Board (at least three of whom shall be independent directors) will be designated by Calidi prior to the Closing and one of the members of the Post-Closing Board will be an individual (who shall be an independent director) mutually agreed to by Edoc and Calidi. At or prior to Closing, Edoc will provide each of its director designees with a customary director indemnification agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such director. The parties also agreed to take all action necessary including causing Edoc’s executive officers of Purchaser to resign, so that the individuals serving as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively, of Edoc immediately after the Closing will be the same individuals as that of Calidi immediately prior to the Closing.

 

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Edoc entered into subscription agreements with investors to purchase preferred and common shares of Edoc in connection with a private equity investment in Edoc for aggregate gross proceeds to Edoc of up to Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (the “PIPE Investment”), which PIPE Investment is expected to close contemporaneously with the Business Combination. During the Interim Period, in addition to the PIPE Investment, Edoc may but is not required to, enter into agreements with potential investors for alternative equity financing (an “Alternative Equity Investment”) for an aggregate amount of proceeds of up to Seventy Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) on terms mutually agreeable to Calidi and Edoc, and if so, Calidi agreed to cooperate in connection with such PIPE Investment and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Alternative Equity Investment to occur.

 

Edoc agreed to use its best efforts to, as promptly as practicable after the effective date of the Registration Statement to, obtain: the approval of Edoc shareholders to amend the organizational documents of Edoc (the “Edoc Charter Amendment”) to provide that (i) the name of Edoc shall be changed to “Calidi Biotherapeutics Holdings, Corp.” or such other name as mutually agreed upon and (ii) remove and change certain provisions in the Memorandum and Articles related to Edoc’s status as a blank check company, and file the Edoc Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

 

The parties agree that Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. on February 8, 2022, to conduct additional legal due diligence and review of the Company’s disclosure schedules (the “Due Diligence Period”) on the Target Companies to determine whether its due diligence findings or any disclosure on the Company Disclosure Schedules is reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on the business of the Surviving Corporation and in such event Purchaser in its reasonable discretion may elect not to terminate.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The Merger Agreement has been filed to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Edoc, Calidi or any other party to the Merger Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Merger Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the Merger Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Edoc’s public disclosures.

 

Related Agreements

 

Voting Agreement

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, (i) certain senior executive officers of Calidi who own shares of Calidi and (ii) stockholders of Calidi who own more than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Calidi Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Significant Stockholder”) entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Edoc and Calidi. Under the Voting Agreement, the Significant Stockholders agreed to vote all of their shares of Calidi Stock in favor of the Merger Agreement and related transactions and to otherwise take certain other actions in support of the Merger Agreement and related transactions and the other matters submitted to Calidi Stockholders for their approval, and provide a proxy to Edoc to vote such Calidi Stock accordingly. The Voting Agreement prevents transfers of the Calidi Stock held by such stockholder between the date of the Voting Agreement and the date of Closing, except for certain permitted transfers where the recipient also agrees to comply with the Voting Agreement.

 

Lock-Up Agreement

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each Significant Stockholder entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with Edoc and the Purchaser Representative (each, a “Lock-Up Agreement”).

 

6

 

 

Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, with respect to the shares received as Merger Consideration, each Significant Stockholder shall agree not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and (A) with respect to 50% of the Merger Consideration shares, ending on the earliest of (a) the six-month anniversary of the Closing, (b) the date on which the Closing price of Edoc’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period and (c) the date that Edoc consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of Edoc shareholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in Edoc for cash, securities or other property (a “Subsequent Transaction”) and (B) with respect to the remaining 50% of the Merger Consideration shares, ending on the earliest of (a) the six-month anniversary of the Closing and (b) a Subsequent Transaction: (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any restricted securities, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the restricted securities, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

 

The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the agreements Edoc entered into with an institutional investor (the “PIPE Investor”) for an investment of $20 million in Edoc’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and $5 million in Edoc’s common stock (after giving effect to the Conversion) conditioned upon, among other things, the consummation of the Business Combination. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of each of the agreements. The full text of these agreements, or forms thereof, will be filed as exhibits to this Form 8-K, and the following descriptions are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such exhibits.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On February 2, 2022, Edoc entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with the PIPE Investor for the purchase and sale of 20,000 shares of Edoc’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) for $1,000 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $20 million and 500,000 shares of Edoc’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $5 million upon the Conversion and concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination. The closing of the PIPE Investment is conditioned upon, among other things, the listing of the Common Stock, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares (as such terms are defined in the SPA) on the Nasdaq Stock Market. All conditions precedent to the closing of the Merger set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, the approval Edoc’s shareholders and Calidi stockholders, shall have been satisfied or waived, as well as other customary closing conditions and deliverables. At the closing of the PIPE Investment, the PIPE Investor will also be issued a common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to an additional 2,500,000 shares of Edoc’s common stock at an initial exercise price equal $11.50 per share, for a term of three years from the closing date of the PIPE Investment.

 

Under the terms of the SPA and the agreed upon form of Certificate of Designations (the “COD”) setting forth the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions for the Preferred Shares, the Preferred Shares will be entitled to convert into shares of Edoc’s common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% which can adjusted to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice. For purposes of calculating the beneficial ownership limitation, the PIPE Investor’s beneficial ownership of Edoc’s common stock will be calculated under the rules promulgated under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). If there were no beneficial ownership limitation in the COD, the Preferred Shares would be entitled to convert into 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock immediately after the closing of the PIPE Investment, or approximately 3.8% of Edoc’s anticipated issued and outstanding shares of common stock assuming no redemptions..

 

Under the terms of the COD, after a thirty (30) day period from the closing, in the event that the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the five days prior to conversion of the Preferred Shares is less than the fixed conversion price of $10.00 per share, or other triggering events, the Preferred Shares are entitled to convert at a price equal to 90% of the price computed as the quotient of (I) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Stock for each of the two (2) Trading Days with the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice, divided by (II) two (2), but not less than 20% of the fixed conversion price, or if forty five days after the closing the Common Stock the average daily dollar volume for a ten day period is less than $4,000,000, then the Preferred Shares are entitled to convert at the lower of the fixed conversion price or 80% of the price computed as the quotient of (I) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Stock for each of the two (2) Trading Days with the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice, divided by (II) two (2)but not less than 20% of the fixed conversion price. In addition, the common stock purchase warrants provide for an adjustment to the exercise price of the warrant in the event of a “new issuance” of Common Stock, or common stock equivalents, at a price less than the applicable exercise price of the common stock purchase warrant. The adjustment is a “full ratchet” adjustment in exercise price of the common stock purchase warrant equal to the lower of the new issuance price or the then existing exercise price of the common stock purchase warrants, with few exceptions.

If certain defined “triggering events” defined in the COD occur, such as a breach of the Registration Rights Agreement, suspension of trading, or Edoc’s failure to convert the Preferred Shares into common stock when a conversion right is exercised, failure to issue Edoc’s common stock when the common stock purchase warrant is exercised, or other events relating to defaults relating to Edoc’s credit agreements or judgments issued by the courts exceeding specified thresholds,, then the Preferred Shares are entitled to convert at the lower of the fixed conversion price equal or 80% of the price computed as the quotient of (I) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Stock for each of the two (2) Trading Days with the lowest VWAP of the Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice, divided by (II) two (2), but not less than 20% of the fixed conversion price. In the event that Edoc files for bankruptcy or other experiences other events of insolvency, the Preferred Shares must be redeemed for cash.

 

The COD also provides that Edoc may redeem the Preferred Shares for an amount equal to 150% of its Stated Value upon 20 days prior written notice during which time the holder of Preferred Shares would be entitled to convert the Preferred Shares into Common Stock in accordance with its conversion rights.

 

The Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference equal to an amount per Preferred Share equal to the sum of (i) the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrants) with respect to the outstanding portion of all Warrants held by such Holder (as defined in the COD) (without regard to any limitations on the exercise thereof) as of the date of such event and (ii) the greater of (A) 125% of the Conversion Amount (as defined in the COD) of such Preferred Share on the date of such payment and (B) the amount per share such Holder would receive if such Holder converted such Preferred Share into Common Stock immediately prior to the date of such payment, and will be entitled to convert into shares of Edoc’s common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% which can be adjusted to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% upon 61 days prior written notice.

 

In connection with the purchase and sale of 500,000 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share, we have agreed that on the 90th day after the Closing and on the twentieth (20th) trading day after the registration statement filed under the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective to issue the PIPE Investor additional shares of Common Stock in the event that the quotient of (x) the sum of the VWAP of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on, and including, such measuring dates, divided by (y) twenty (20) is less than $10.00 per share (the “Make-up Price Failure Measuring Price”). In that event, Edoc would be obligated to issue a number of additional shares of Common Stock derived by the greater of zero or (x) 120% of the quotient of (I) $5,000,000, divided by (II) the Make-up Price Failure Measuring Price and (y) the sum of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued on the Closing Date and the Initial Make-up Share Amount consisting of the greater of (A) zero (0) and (B) the difference of (x) 120% of the quotient of (I) $5,000,000, divided by (II) the applicable Make-Up Price Failure Measuring Price for such dates and (y) the aggregate number of Common Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issued at the Closing Date.

 

The SPA terminates if the Closing does not occur on or before August 2, 2022, the outside Closing Date under the Merger Agreement, or after five (5) days have transpired following the date that all conditions to the Closing have been satisfied or waived, or immediately upon notice at the election of the PIPE Investor.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution of the SPA, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “RRA”) with the PIPE Investor in which Edoc have agreed to register the shares of Edoc’s common stock purchased by the PIPE Investor and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and the exercise of the common stock purchase warrant with the SEC for resale. Under the RRA, Edoc agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC within 30 days of the Closing, and to have the registration statement declared effective within 60 calendar days from the date the registration statement is filed. The RRA also contains usual and customary liquidated damages provisions for failure to file and failure to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within the time periods specified.

Backstop Agreements

 

On February 2, 2022, Edoc entered into certain backstop arrangements with Sea Otter Securities (“Sea Otter”), Stichting Juridisch Eigendom Mint Tower Arbitrage Fund (“Mint Tower”), Feis Equities LLC (“Feis”), Yakira Capital Management, Inc. (“Yakira Capital”), Yakira Enhanced Offshore Fund (“Yakia Fund”) and Yakira Partners LP, MAP 136 Segregated Portfolio (“Yakira LP”, and together with Yakira Capital and Yakira Fund, “Yakira”), and Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“Meteora” and together with Sea Otter, Mint Tower, and Feis, Yakira, the “Backstop Investors”), which provide that such investors will not redeem up to 2,220,000 shares that they hold, in the aggregate, in connection with (i) Edoc’s shareholder meeting to approve an extension of the date by which Edoc has to consummate a business combination from February 12, 2022 to August 12, 2022 (the “Extension”), and (ii) the proposed business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) involving Edoc and Calidi. Such Backstop Investors have agreed to each either hold such shares for a period of time following the consummation of the Business Combination, at which time they will each have the right to sell them to the combined entity, after giving effect to the Business Combination (the “New PubCo), at $10.42 per share, or will sell such shares on the open market during such time period at a market price of at least $10.27 per share.

 

Forward Share Purchase Agreements

 

On February 2, 2022, Edoc entered into a Forward Share Purchase Agreement (the “Meteora Purchase Agreement”) with Meteora. Pursuant to the terms of the Meteora Purchase Agreement, Meteor agreed to (i) not request redemption of up to 550,000 Class A ordinary shares of Edoc (the “Meteora Shares”) in conjunction with Edoc’s shareholders’ approval of either the Extension or the Business Combination, or (ii) tender the Meteora Shares to Edoc in response to any redemption or tender offer that Edoc may commence for its Class A ordinary shares (the “Restrictions”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Meteora Purchase Agreement.

 

In exchange for agreeing to the Restrictions, the New Pubco has agreed that, upon the timely request of Meteora, it will acquire the Meteora Shares at a price of $10.42 per share on the three-month anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing Date”). Meteora shall notify New PubCo and the Escrow Agent (as defined in the Meteora Purchase Agreement) in writing (a “Sales Notice”) no later than three (3) business days prior to the three-month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date whether or not they are exercising their right to sell the Meteora Shares to New Pubco pursuant to the Meteora Purchase Agreement (each, a “Meteora Shares Sale Notice”). If the closing sale price of the Meteora Shares on the third (3rd) business day prior to the three (3) month anniversary of the Business Combination is less than $10.42 per Share, Meteora’s right to sell will be deemed automatically exercised as to all then-held Meteora Shares, without the need to deliver a Sales Notice.

 

Meteora agreed to maintain a net long position of the EDOC and/or the Company’s securities during the term of this Agreement.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, Edoc will deposit into an escrow account with the Escrow Agent, subject to the terms of an escrow agreement to be entered into prior to the Business Combination, up to $10.42 multiplied by the number of Meteora Shares held by Meteora as of the closing of the Business Combination. New Pubco’s purchase of the Meteora Shares will be made with funds from the escrow account attributed to the Meteora Shares. In the event that Meteora sells any Meteora Shares as provided for above, it shall provide an Open Market Sale Notice (as defined in the Meteora Purchase Agreement) to New Pubco and Escrow Agent within three business days of such sale, if, as a result of such sales, Meteora hold less than an aggregate of 550,000 Class A ordinary shares, and the Escrow Agent shall release from the escrow account to New Pubco an amount equal to the pro rata portion of the escrow attributed to the Meteora Shares which Meteora have sold; provided that if Meteora sells any Meteora Shares before the one (1) month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Account: (a) to Meteora, an amount equal to the number of Meteora Shares sold multiplied by $0.05, and (b) to New Pubco, an amount equal to the number of Meteora Shares sold multiplied by $10.37. Other than as described above in the event that Meteora chooses not to sell to New Pubco any Meteora Shares that they own as of the three-month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall release all remaining funds from the escrow account to Edoc for Edoc’s use without restriction.

Edoc agreed to indemnify Meteora and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders (collectively referred to as the “Meteora Indemnitees”) against, and hold them harmless of and from, any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket outside counsel fees, which the Meteora Indemnitees may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding, in each case, brought by a third party creditor of Edoc, Edoc or any of their respective subsidiaries asserting that Meteora are not entitled to receive escrowed funds or such portion thereof as they are entitled to receive pursuant to the Meteora Purchase Agreement, in each case unless such action, claim or proceeding is the result of the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Meteora Indemnitee.

 

The Meteora Purchase Agreement may be terminated: (i) by mutual written consent of Edoc and Meteora; (ii) at the election of Meteora if Edoc’s shareholders fail to approve the Business Combination before August 12, 2022, subject to extension by mutual agreement; (iii) prior to the closing of the Business Combination by mutual agreement of Meteora if there occurs a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (iv) by Meteora if prior to the day that is five (5) business days prior to the date of the Business Combination Meeting, Edoc, Meteora and the Escrow Agent have not executed the Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Meteora Purchase Agreement); and (v) by Meteora, if prior to February 7, 2022, Edoc does not reach substantially similar non-redemption or forward purchase agreements with Additional Investors (as defined in the Meteora Purchase Agreement) committing an aggregate of 2,200,000 Class A ordinary shares of Edoc to the same restrictions included in the Meteora Purchase Agreement.

 

Edoc has also entered into share purchase agreements with identical terms to the Meteora Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Forward Purchase Agreements”) with Sea Otter (covering 550,000 shares), with Mint Tower (covering 550,000 shares), Feis (covering 275,000 shares) and Yakira (covering 275,000 shares). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time from July 12, 2022 until four (4) trading days prior to the Business Combination Meeting, Edoc, in its sole discretion, may reduce the number of shares to be purchased by the Backstop Investors pursuant to the Backstop Agreements. In such event, any reduction will be made and applied to the Backstop Investors on a pro rata basis.

 

The foregoing description is only a summary of the Forward Purchase Agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Forward Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.7 hereto and incorporated by reference herein. The form of Forward Purchase Agreement is included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K in order to provide investors and security holders with material information regarding its terms and the transaction. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Edoc or the Backstop Investors.

Security holders and investors should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Edoc or the Backstop Investor.

 

Founder Share Transfer Agreement

 

In connection with the above-mentioned arrangements, the Sponsor entered into certain share transfer agreements (the “Founder Share Transfer Agreements”) with the Backstop Investors.

 

Pursuant to the Founder Share Transfer Agreement with Meteora on February 2, 2022 (the “Meteora Share Transfer Agreement”), Meteora agreed not to sell, transfer or seek redemption of an aggregate of 550,000 public shares of Edoc and to vote such shares in favor of the Extension and the Business Combination.

In consideration of Meteora’s agreement to abide by such restrictions on its public shares, the Sponsor agreed to transfer to Meteora an aggregate of up to 84,727 shares of Edoc Class B ordinary shares (the “Transferred Founder Shares”). Of such amount, 84,727 founder shares shall be transferred within five business days following the Extension Meeting (as defined in the Meteora Founder Share Transfer Agreement). Additionally, f the Business Combination has not consummated by May 12, 2022, then for each monthly period from May 12, 2022 until August 12, 2022 that the Business Combination has not closed (each such monthly period, a “Month”), then Edoc shall cause to be paid to Meteora, at Edoc’s discretion, either (i) a cash amount of $0.05 per Meteora Share not redeemed by Meteora, for an aggregate of up to $0.15 per Public Share, or (ii) or 0.034 Transferred Founder Shares per Meteora Share not redeemed by Meteora in connection with the Extension Meeting, to be transferred by the Sponsor (or its designees), for an aggregate of up to 0.1027 Transferred Founder Shares per share. Such payment(s) will be made within five (5) business days following each of May 12, 2022, June 12, 2022, and July 12, 2022, to the extent that the Business Combination has not closed by such dates.

 

Edoc has also entered into founder shares transfer agreements with identical terms to the Meteora Share Transfer Agreement with Sea Otter (pursuant to which up to 84,727 founder shares will be transferred to Sea Otter), with Mint Tower (pursuant to which up to 84,727 founder shares will be transferred to Mint Tower), Feis (pursuant to which up to 42,363 founder shares will be transferred to Feis) and Yakira (pursuant to which up to 42,363 founder shares will be transferred to Yakira).

 

Any founder shares transferred pursuant to the Founder Share Transfer Agreements will be subject to the same rights and obligations as the remaining founder shares held by the Sponsor, including certain registration rights and the obligations to (a) vote any founder shares held by them in favor of the Business Combination, and (b) subject any founder shares held by them to the same lock-up restrictions as the founder shares held by the Sponsor.

Security holders and investors should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Sponsor or the Backstop Investors.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K  contains forward-looking statements for purposes of the “safe harbor” provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Terms such as “anticipates,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “project,” “should,” “would” as well as similar terms, are forward-looking in nature. The forward-looking statements contained in this discussion are based on the Calidi’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting Calidi will be those that it has anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Calidi’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Edoc, Calidi, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination, the private placement financing proposed to be consummated concurrently with the Business Combination (the “PIPE”), and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Edoc, the possibility that due diligence completed following execution of the principal definitive transactions will not be satisfactorily concluded, the inability to complete the PIPE or other financing needed to complete the Business Combination, or to satisfy other conditions to closing; changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Calidi as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination or to realize estimated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated shareholder redemptions; costs related to the Business Combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the evolution of the markets in which Calidi competes; the inability of Calidi to defend its intellectual property and satisfy regulatory requirements; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed Business Combination, and identify and realize additional opportunities; the risk of downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive pharmaceutical industry; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Calidi business; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Edoc’s final prospectus dated November 12, 2020, risks and uncertainties indicated in the Registration Statement and the definitive proxy statement to be delivered to Edoc’s shareholders, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Edoc.

 

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, they could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Neither Edoc nor Calidi is undertaking any obligation to provide any additional information or to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise except as required by law or applicable regulation. You should not take any statement regarding past trends, activities or performance as a representation that the trends, activities or performance will continue in the future. Accordingly, you should not put undue reliance on these statements.

FORWARD SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This Forward Share Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of February [__], 2022, by and among (i) Edoc Acquisition Corp Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“EDOC”), (ii) [Investor Name], and (iii) [Investor Name] (“[__]” and together with [__], each individually an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”). Each of EDOC, [__] and [__] is individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

 

Recitals

 

WHEREAS, EDOC is a special purpose acquisition company, also known as a blank check company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses;

 

WHEREAS, EDOC has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February [__], 2022 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among EDOC and Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation ( “Calidi”), among others, which agreement provides for, among other things, the acquisition of Calidi by EDOC (the “Business Combination”), and EDOC intends to file a proxy statement/prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) that will seek, among other things, shareholder approval of the Business Combination at a special meeting of shareholders (the “Business Combination Meeting”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the post-combination company (the “Company”) shall purchase from the Investors, and the Investors may sell and transfer to the Company, in each case, subject to the conditions set forth herein, certain EDOC Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, held by the Investors (the “Shares”) on the terms set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

Agreement

 

1. Sale of Shares; Shares Purchase and Sale; Closing.

 

(a) Forward Share Purchase. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4, on the three (3) month anniversary of the date of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing Date”), the Investors may elect to sell and transfer to the Company, and the Company shall purchase from the Investors, up to that number of Shares (including any Additional Shares) that are then held by the Investors, and have been continuously held by the Investors since the Business Combination Closing Date, but not to exceed [__] Shares (including any Additional Shares) in the aggregate unless otherwise agreed in writing by all Parties, at a price per Share equal to $10.42 per Share (the “Shares Purchase Price”). Each Investor shall, notify the Company and the Escrow Agent in writing no later than three (3) Business Days (as defined below) prior to the three (3) month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date whether or not such Investor is exercising such Investor’s right to sell any of the Shares (including any Additional Shares) held by such Investor to the Company pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Shares Sale Notice”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the closing sale price  of the Shares on the third (3rd) business day prior to the three (3) month anniversary of the Business Combination is less than $10.42 per Share, the Investors’ right to sell shall be deemed automatically exercised, without the need to deliver the Shares Sales Notice, as to all Shares held by the Investors. Except as set forth in the preceding  sentence, any Investor that fails to timely deliver a Shares Sales Notice in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have forfeited its right to sell any Shares (including any Additional Shares) to the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

(b) Shares Closing. If a Shares Sale Notice is timely delivered by any Investor to the Company and Escrow Agent, the closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated in each such timely delivered Share Sales Notice (the “Shares Closing”) shall occur no later than the three (3) month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date (the “Shares Closing Date”). On the Shares Closing Date, each selling Investor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Shares (including any Additional Shares) subject to the applicable Shares Sale Notice free and clear of all liens and encumbrances to Escrow Agent and, in exchange therefor, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to each such selling Investor(s) an amount equal to (i) the Shares Purchase Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares being sold by such selling Investor (with respect to any particular selling Investor, the “Investor Shares Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall, (i) without delay, release from the Escrow Account to each selling Investor on the Shares Closing Date, for such selling Investor’s use without restriction, an amount equal to such Investor’s Investor Shares Purchase Price, and (ii) promptly deliver such sold Shares to the Company.

 

2. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor represents and warrants to EDOC and Calidi, severally and not jointly, as of the date hereof:

(c) Governmental Consents and Filings. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of such Investor in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) other than disclosure reports regarding such transactions that such Investor is required to file in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Act (as defined below).

 

(d) Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Agreement and the consummation by such Investor and the other Investors of the Transactions will not result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions of its organizational documents, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iv) under any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or (v) of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to it, in each case (other than clause (i)), which would have a material adverse effect on such Investor or any of the other Investors or its or their ability to consummate the Transactions.

(ii) During the period commencing on one (1) trading day following the Extension Meeting date until three (3) trading days prior to the Business Combination Meeting, the Investors shall have the right, but not the obligation, to sell any or all of the Shares subject to Sections 1, 4(a)(i) and 4(b) in the open market if the sale price exceeds $10.27 per Share prior to payment of any commissions due by the Investor for such sale. The foregoing restriction does not apply to any Shares held by the Investors not subject to Sections 1, 4(a)(i) and 4(b).

 

(iii) If, on the day that is three (3) trading days prior to the Business Combination Meeting, the Investors hold fewer than [__] Shares, the Investors shall purchase Shares at trust value, in the first instance in the form of Shares tendered for redemption from the Escrow Agent (as defined herein) (the “Business Combination Redeemed Shares”), and if such Business Combination Redeemed Shares are not sufficient to allow the Investor to own at least [__]Shares, then the Investor shall thereafter purchase Shares, at trust value, in the open market, up to a number of Shares such that the Investors hold, in the aggregate, [__]Shares as of the time of the Business Combination Meeting if the stock is trading at or below trust value.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time from July 12, 2022 until four (4) trading days prior to the Business Combination Meeting, EDOC, in its sole discretion, may reduce the number of Total Backstop Shares that shall be purchased by the Investors and the Additional Investors pursuant to this Agreement and the Additional Investor Agreements. In such event, any reduction will be made and applied to the Investors and the Additional Investors on a pro rata basis, and any Shares that the Investor shall purchase pursuant to this Section 4 shall be reduced proportionately.

(d) Open Market Sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties agree that the Investors shall, commencing on the Business Combination Closing Date, have the right, but not the obligation, to sell any or all of the Shares (including any Additional Shares) in the open market if the sale price exceeds $10.27 per Share prior to payment of any commissions due by the Investor for such sale. The Investor shall give written notice to the Company and the Escrow Agent of any sale of the Shares (including any Additional Shares) pursuant to this Section 4(d) within three (3) Business Days following the date of such sale (the “Open Market Sale Notice”) if, as a result of such sales, the Investors hold less than an aggregate of the [__] Shares subject to Sections 1, 4(a) and 4(b), and the Open Market Sale Notice shall include the date of the sale, the number of Shares sold, and confirmation that the sale price per Share was greater than $10.27 per Share prior to the payment of any commissions due by the Investor for the sale.

(e) Escrow.

 

(i) Simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, EDOC shall deposit, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which EDOC hereby acknowledges, into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”), subject to the terms of a written escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and to be entered into on or prior to the Business Combination Closing Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $[__] and (y) $10.42 multiplied by the number of Shares and Additional Shares held by the Investors as of the closing of the Business Combination, including after application of any ratable reduction as provided for in Section 4(a) (the “Escrowed Funds”). The Escrow Agreement shall irrevocably cause the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account the aggregate Shares Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1. The payments to be made by the Escrow Agent to the Investors in accordance with Section 1 or to the Investors and the Company in accordance with Section 4(d), if applicable, will be made solely with the Escrowed Funds.

 

(ii) Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent and Company of written notice that any Investor has sold Shares subject to Sections 1, 4(b) and 4(c) above $10.27 (including any Additional Shares) as provided in Section 4(d), the Escrow Agent may release to the Company for the Company’s use without restriction an aggregate amount equal to the number of Shares (including any Additional Shares) sold multiplied by $10.42; provided that if an Investor sold any Shares (including any Additional Shares) before the one (1) month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date, within five (5) Business Days of the Company’s and the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the applicable notice from the Investor, the Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Account (a) for the selling Investor’s use without restriction an amount equal to the number of Shares (including any Additional Shares) sold multiplied by $0.05 and (b) for the Company’s use without restriction an amount equal to the number of Shares (including any Additional Shares) sold multiplied by $10.37.

 

6

 

 

(iii) In the event that any Investor elects not to sell to the Company any of the [__] Shares (including any Additional Shares) subject to Sections 1, 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) and 4(b) held by such Investor by either (A) an Investor delivering a written notice to the Company on behalf of itself stating such Investor’s intention not to sell any Shares (or any Additional Shares) to the Company, or (B) such Investor failing to timely deliver a Shares Sale Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 1(a) for all of its Shares, the Company may issue instructions to the Escrow Agent promptly upon the three (3) month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date to release from the Escrow Account to the Company for the Company’s use without restriction an amount equal to (x) $10.42 multiplied by (y) the number of Shares subject to Sections 1, 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) and 4(b) held by such Investor.

 

(f) Notification. Edoc and/or the Company shall promptly notify the Investors of the occurrence of any event that would make any of the representations and warranties of EDOC set forth in Section 3 untrue or incorrect at any time between the date of this Agreement and the Shares Closing Date, except where the failure of a representation and warranty to be true and correct would not have a material adverse effect on EDOC’s or the Company’s ability to consummate the Transactions.

 

(g) Most Favored Nation. Concurrently with, or shortly after, the execution of this Agreement, EDOC may enter into separate agreements with other investors (the “Additional Investors”) for the purchase and sale of EDOC ordinary shares imposing restrictions on dispositions of EDOC ordinary shares by the Additional Investors similar to those herein ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Additional Investor Agreements”). EDOC has not and will not provide the Additional Investors material terms in the Additional Investor Agreements that are more favorable to such Additional Investors than the terms provided to the Investors in this Agreement. In the event that EDOC provides the Additional Investors with material terms in the Additional Investor Agreements that are more favorable than the terms provided to the Investors in this Agreement, EDOC shall promptly inform the Investors of such more favorable terms, and the Investors shall have the mutual right to elect to have such more favorable terms included herein, in which case the Parties shall promptly amend this Agreement to effect the same. For the avoidance of doubt, if EDOC transfers or sells Founder Shares to another investor and that investor also executes a non-redemption agreement or forward share purchase agreement substantially similar to this Agreement, the Investor shall be notified of such agreement and have the right to amend the terms of this Agreement to match the more favorable terms and/or the Investor shall have the right elect to have such terms included herein.

 

(h) Security Agreement in Escrow Account. To secure the obligations of EDOC and the Company under this Agreement, EDOC and the Company each grant to the Investors a security interest in, and lien on, all right, title, and interest of EDOC and the Company in and to the Escrow Account in respect of all funds required to satisfy EDOC’s and the Company’s obligations hereunder, the Escrow Agreement, all rights related thereto, and all proceeds, products, and profits of the foregoing. In the event of a default by EDOC or the Company under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, then, in addition to any other rights the Investors may have under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and applicable law, the Investors shall also have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York. EDOC and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file such UCC financing statements or other documents as reasonably directed by the Investors with respect to their security interests.

(i) Indemnification. EDOC (referred to as the “Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify the Investors and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders (collectively referred to as the “Indemnitees”) against, and hold them harmless of and from, any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket outside counsel fees, which the Indemnitees may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding, in each case, brought by a third party creditor of EDOC , the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries asserting that the Investors are not entitled to receive the aggregate Share Purchase Price or such portion thereof as they are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1(a) and Section 4(d) of this Agreement, in each case unless such action, claim or proceeding is the result of the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnitee.

In the event of termination in accordance with Section 6(a), 6(b), 6(c), 6(d), or 6(e) this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of [the Investors], EDOC, or the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, or stockholders and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all rights and obligations of each Party shall immediately cease; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6 shall relieve any Party from liabilities or damages arising out of any actual fraud or willful breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement prior to termination of this Agreement.

(l) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any Party or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Parties agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

(o) Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which commercial banks in New York are obligated by any applicable law to close. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If a Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

 

(p) Waiver. No waiver by a Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.

 

(q) Specific Performance. Each Party agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed by any other Party in accordance with the terms hereof and that the other Parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

 

(r) Rule 10b5-1.

 

i. Edoc represents and warrants to the Investors that Edoc is not entering into this Agreement to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of such securities or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act, and Edoc represents and warrants to the Investors that Edoc has not entered into or altered, and agrees that Edoc will not enter into or alter, any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares.
     
i. Edoc agrees that, subject to Section 4(a) herein, it will not seek to control or influence the Investors’ decision to make any “purchases or sales” (within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B)(3)) under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Investors’ decision to enter into any hedging transactions.
     
ii. Edoc acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5.

Each Investor (on behalf of itself and its affiliates) hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the Trust Account and any funds contained therein for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Investors’ right to pursue a claim against the Company for (i) legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account or assets released from the Trust Account and remaining after distribution to public shareholders following the consummation of a business combination or (ii) specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so long as such claim would not affect EDOC’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate redemption of public shares as described in the SEC Reports.

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Calidi Biotherapeutics and Edoc Acquisition Corp. Agree to Merge and Create a Publicly Listed, Clinical-Stage Biotechnology Company Utilizing Stem Cell-Based Platforms to Revolutionize Oncolytic Virotherapies

 

-Total gross proceeds from transaction expected to be approximately $117 million prior to redemptions, combining $25 million PIPE and up to $92 million held in Edoc trust account-

 

-Anticipated cash resources will fund Calidi’s NeuroNova and SuperNova development programs through multiple clinical milestones-

 

-Business combination expected to be completed in second quarter of 2022; combined company expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the ticker “CLDI”-

 

LA JOLLA, CALIF. and Victor, NY, February 2, 2022—Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“Calidi” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is pioneering the development of cell-based delivery of oncolytic viruses, and Edoc Acquisition Corp. (“Edoc”) (NASDAQ: ADOC), a blank check company organized to acquire or merge with one or more businesses, have entered into a definitive merger agreement. Upon closing the transaction, anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2022, the combined company will be named Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc. and led by Allan Camaisa, CEO and Chairman of the Board. In addition, the combined company’s common stock intends to list on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

“We are excited about combining with Edoc to advance our mission of delivering life-saving oncolytic virus therapies with the potential to revolutionize patient care,” said Mr. Camaisa. “This business combination positions us well as we enter the next phase of our growth, delivering on the promise of our NeuroNova (NNV) and SuperNova (SNV) platforms, to surpass the deficiencies of the first generation oncolytic viruses existing in the marketplace. Furthermore, it will allow us to leverage Edoc’s extensive 400+ physician network across many disciplines.”

 

“Calidi’s innovative stem cell-based delivery platforms are being developed to overcome the immune system’s ability to eliminate oncolytic viruses, potentially allowing oncolytic viral therapy to be successful,” said Dr. Kevin Chen, Chairman and CEO of Edoc. “We aim to invest in people and companies that can change the healthcare landscape, and we believe that Calidi’s technology is differentiated and has the potential to transform cancer therapy.”

 

The transaction includes gross proceeds of up to $92 million in trust at Edoc (less any redemptions by existing Edoc shareholders) and a concurrent $25 million PIPE from institutional investors.

 

Additionally, Edoc entered into backstop arrangements with certain institutional investors for the purchase of up to 2.2 million shares of Edoc Class A ordinary shares in connection with Edoc’s shareholder meeting to approve the business combination as well as Edoc’s February 9, 2022 shareholder meeting to approve an extension of time to complete its business combination, with the actual amount dependent upon the amount of cash available after each such shareholder meeting after any redemptions.

 

 

 

 

Net proceeds from the transaction are expected to provide Calidi with capital to advance its pipeline through multiple clinical milestones, such as:

 

NNV1 Phase 2 initiation: allogeneic neural stem cells loaded with an oncolytic adenovirus for the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

 

NNV2 Phase 1 initiation: allogeneic neural stem cells loaded with an oncolytic adenovirus for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma.

 

SNV1 Phase 1 initiation: allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSC) loaded with an oncolytic vaccinia virus for the treatment of advanced metastatic solid tumors.

 

Support expansion of Calidi’s stem cell-based delivery platforms into additional indications

 

Key Transaction Terms

 

Upon closing of the business combination (the “Business Combination”), and assuming no redemptions of shares of Edoc by its public shareholders, Calidi would be expected to have cash and cash equivalents, prior to transaction expenses, of approximately $117 million (less any redemptions and transaction expenses) and a pro forma enterprise valuation of $449 million.

 

The boards of directors of Calidi and Edoc unanimously approved the proposed transaction, which is anticipated to close in the second quarter of 2022. The closing of the transaction is subject to the approval of Edoc shareholders, regulatory approval and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions.

 

A Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by Edoc with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will provide additional information about the proposed business combination, related financings and backstop arrangements, and will be available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, Edoc intends to file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC, including a proxy statement/prospectus, and will file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC.

H.C. Wainwright & Co. served as financial advisor to Calidi. Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP acted as legal counsel to Calidi. Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP acted as legal counsel to Edoc, and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. as financial advisor to Edoc.
