(the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SciSparc that owns and operates 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, the Company and the Subsidiary will enter into a consulting agreement, pursuant to which the Company will provide management services to the Subsidiary for the WellutionTM brand for a monthly fee of $20,000 and the Company 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, the Company and SciSparc will undertake a share exchange in which the Company will acquire a number of ordinary shares of SciSparc and SciSparc 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 the Company, 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 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 the Company 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 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.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.

10.6 Titles and Headings. The titles, captions and headings of this Agreement are included for ease of reference only and will be disregarded in interpreting or construing this Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically stated, all references herein to “sections” and “exhibits” will mean “sections” and “exhibits” to this Agreement.

 

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. This Agreement shall not be effective until signed by all parties hereto.

 

10.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible given the intent of the parties hereto. 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. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the value of this Agreement based upon the substantial benefit of the bargain for any party is materially impaired, which determination as made by the presiding court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall be binding, then both parties agree to substitute such provision(s) through good faith negotiations.

 

10.9 Amendment and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, waived or modified only by a written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto. Any amendment effected in accordance with this section will be binding upon all parties hereto and each of their respective successors and assigns. No delay or failure to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that provision as to that or any other instance. No waiver granted under this Agreement as to any one provision herein shall constitute a subsequent waiver of such provision or of any other provision herein, nor shall it constitute the waiver of any performance other than the actual performance specifically waived.

 

10.10 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other means of electronic delivery and upon such delivery, the facsimile signature will be deemed to have the same effect as if the original signature had been delivered to the other party.

 

10.11 Specific Performance. Unless this Agreement has been terminated, each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that any breach by it of this Agreement shall cause any (or either) of the other parties irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensable by money damages. Accordingly, except in the case of termination, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party of any provision of this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to seek the remedies of specific performance, injunction or other preliminary or equitable relief, without having to prove irreparable harm or actual damages. The foregoing right shall be in addition to such other rights or remedies as may be available to any party for such breach or threatened breach, including but not limited to the recovery of money damages.

 

10.12 Waiver of Conflict; Acknowledgment. Each of the Seller and the Purchasers acknowledges and agrees that it was advised, prior to the date hereof, that the law firm Meitar, Law Offices (“Meitar”), is representing the Seller and the Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby, that the Seller and the Purchasers have previously provided their consent to the foregoing in accordance with the applicable rules and that no other party shall have any right, claim or demand against any party, Meitar or any of its employees, partners or representatives with respect to the foregoing.
