CONTENTS 

 

On February 23, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), SciSparc Ltd. (the “Company” or “SciSparc”) entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Jeffs’ Brands Holdings Inc., a recently newly-formed wholly owned subsidiary (“NewCo Inc.”) of Jeffs’ Brands Ltd. (“Jeffs’ Brands”) (Nasdaq: JFBR, JFBRW), and Jeffs’ Brands, pursuant to which, at the closing and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, NewCo Inc. will acquire from SciSparc a number of shares of stock equal to approximately a 49% interest in SciSparc’s wholly owned subsidiary, SciSparc Nutraceuticals Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), which owns WellutionTM , a top-selling Amazon.com Marketplace brand, for $2.5 million in cash, subject to certain purchase price adjustments related to inventory and working capital, which adjustments are expected to increase the purchase price by approximately $300,000.

 

The closing of the transactions is subject to certain customary conditions and is expected to be completed within seven business days from the Effective Date (the “Closing”). Following the Closing, which includes an equity conversion of financing amounts previously provided to the Subsidiary by SciSparc for working capital, SciSparc will hold approximately 51% of the Subsidiary.

 

The Agreement also provides that at the Closing Jeffs Brands and the Subsidiary will enter into a consulting agreement, pursuant to which Jeffs’ Brands will provide management services to the Subsidiary for the WellutionTM brand for a monthly fee of $20,000 and Jeffs’ Brands will receive a one-time signing bonus in the amount of $51,000. The consulting agreement will be for an undefined period of time and may be terminated by either party with 30 days advance notice. 

 

In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, at the Closing, Jeffs’ Brands and SciSparc will undertake a share exchange in which the Company will acquire a number of ordinary shares of Jeffs’ Brands and Jeffs’ Brands will acquire a number of ordinary shares of the Company (collectively, the “Exchange Shares”), in each case having an aggregate value of $300,000, from each of SciSparc and Jeffs’ Brands, respectively. The issuance of the Exchange Shares includes a limit on either party beneficially owning an amount in excess of 4.99% of the issued and outstanding share capital of one another immediately following the share exchange. The number of Exchange Shares to be acquired by each company will be calculated based on the average closing price of the relevant company’s shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately prior to the Closing.

 

Neither the Subsidiary stock to be received by Jeffs’ Brands nor the Exchange Shares will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state’s securities laws and such stock and Exchange Shares will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Neither the Subsidiary stock nor the Exchange Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States by the receiving party, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants of SciSparc, NewCo Inc. and Jeffs’ Brands contained in the Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of the parties thereto and not any other person. Accordingly, the Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Agreement, and not to provide investors with any factual or other information regarding SciSparc, Jeffs’ Brands, NewCo Inc. or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of SciSparc, Jeffs’ Brands, NewCo Inc. or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

10.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits and the schedules hereto) and the other documents referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between or among the parties hereto with respect to the specific subject matter hereof.

If such clause or provision cannot be so enforced, such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained in this Agreement.
