Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” and “us”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2020, on October 23, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Sales Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Razor Jacket, LLC (“Razor Jacket”) and its owners, Frank Gill (“Gill”) and Ryan Johnson (“Johnson”, and collectively with Gill and Razor Jacket, the “Sellers”).

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase from the Sellers, all of Razor Jacket’s equipment and all of the Seller’s know-how relating to the manufacture of cannabinoid isolates and related products, including, but not limited to, terpenes, and the production of isolate and related products (collectively, the “Assets”), which were located in Oregon and agreed to be moved to the Company’s facility in Dallas, Texas as part of the acquisition.

 

The purchase price payable for the Assets was (a) $300,000 in cash, payable at closing; (b) 625,000 shares of restricted common stock (valued for the purposes of the Purchase Agreement at $0.80 per share or $500,000 in aggregate)(the “Closing Shares”); and (c) the right for the Sellers to earn up to 16.5 million shares of newly designated shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “New Preferred Stock” and “New Preferred Shares”), which if issued and earned, will be convertible for common stock on a one-for-one basis.

 

The terms of the Purchase Agreement are described in greater detail in the October 29, 2020 Current Report on Form 8-K which information and disclosures are incorporated herein by reference.

 

On November 16, 2020, the Company and the Sellers entered into a First Amendment to Asset Purchase and Sales Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which amended the terms of the Purchase Agreement to clarify the specific Assets being purchased.

 

Also on November 16, 2020:

 

(a)  the Company and the Sellers entered into an Assignment of Intellectual Property (the “IP Assignment Agreement”) providing for the assignment by the Sellers of all of their right and title to the intellectual property owned by Razor Jacket and/or which Razor Jacket has an assignable interest in, in connection with the operations of Razor Jacket, as described in greater detail in the IP Assignment Agreement;

 

(b)  the Company and Gill entered into an Employment Agreement (discussed below under Item 5.02);

 

(c)  the Company and Johnson entered into an Employment Agreement (discussed below under Item 5.02);

 

(d)  Gill entered into a Trading Agreement with the Company relating to the Closing Shares (discussed below); and

 

(e)  Gill and Johnson entered into a separate Trading Agreement with the Company relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the New Preferred Shares (discussed below).

 

The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed on November 17, 2020 (the “Razor Jacket Closing”), at which time the Company issued the Closing Shares, paid the $300,000 of cash due at the closing and acquired title to the Assets (the lab equipment is currently in the process of being shipped to Dallas, Texas). The Purchase Agreement had an effective date of November 1, 2020.

 

The New Preferred Shares (the terms of which are described in greater detail under Item 5.03, which information is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference) were not earned by Sellers at the closing and instead are not earned until the conditions described below are satisfied, if at all:

(a)  Upon successful completion of the below five conditions, an aggregate of 5,500,000 New Preferred Shares will be issued to Gill and Johnson, in the amount of 2,750,000 shares each, subject to applicable law:

 

(1)  The receipt by the Company of the Assets (except for certain excluded assets) on or before December 1, 2020;

 

(2)  The permanent relocation of Gill and Johnson to Dallas County, Texas or the five surrounding counties;

 

(3)  The delivery to the Company of a draft of a Patent Application for the Sellers’ existing process to produce isolate (the rights to which are being acquired by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement);

 

(4)  The successful restart of the lab Assets such that isolate of the exact quality of isolate currently being purchased by the Company is achieved, as demonstrated by a third-party Certificate of Analysis; and

 

(5)  Cooperation by the Sellers with the Company in the completion of an audit of the Assets by the Company’s independent accountants as required by Form 8-K.

 

(b) Upon successful completion of the first full year of employment of Gill and Johnson, an additional 2,750,000 New Preferred Shares will be issued to each of Gill and Johnson; and

 

(c)  Upon successful completion of the second full year of employment of Gill and Johnson, an additional 2,750,000 New Preferred Shares will be issued to each of Gill and Johnson.

 

Any New Preferred Shares not earned as discussed above will be forfeited and, in the event either Gill and/or Johnson voluntarily resigns under their respective employment agreements (discussed below), they will forfeit any unearned shares.

 

We agreed to pay the costs of transporting the Assets and insurance on the Assets (subject to certain exceptions), and the Sellers agreed to pay all of their other costs.

 

In connection with the closing, Gill entered into a Trading Agreement with the Company dated November 16, 2020 (the “Common Trading Agreement”), which restricts Gill’s ability to transfer or sell the Closing Shares (and any other shares of Company common stock which he may obtain during the term of such agreement), until October 31, 2023, provided that between October 31, 2021, and October 31, 2023, Gill may sell not more than 10% of the average daily aggregate trading volume of the Company’s common stock over the preceding 30 day rolling period, subject to certain other requirements.

 

Also in connection with the closing, Gill and Johnston entered into a separate Trading Agreement dated November 16, 2020 (the “Preferred Trading Agreement”), which restricts such person’s ability to transfer or sell any of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the New Preferred Shares (and any other shares of Company common stock which they may obtain during the term of such agreement), until October 31, 2025, provided that between October 31, 2022, and October 31, 2025, each may sell not more than 10% of the average daily aggregate trading volume of the Company’s common stock over the preceding 30-day rolling period, subject to certain other requirements.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, First Amendment, IP Assignment Agreement, Common Trading Agreement and Preferred Trading Agreement, are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by the Purchase Agreement, First Amendment, IP Assignment Agreement, Common Trading Agreement and Preferred Trading Agreement, incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and attached as Exhibits 2.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 hereto, respectively, and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference in their entirety.

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

The information and disclosures in Item 1.01 above relating to the Purchase Agreement (as amended), the closing of the Purchase Agreement the terms of such closing, the payment of consideration by the Company in connection therewith and the Company’s acquisition of the Assets, are incorporated by reference in this Item 2.01 in their entirety.

 

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Closing Shares and New Preferred Shares is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. We claim an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the issuance of the Closing Shares and plan to claim a similar exemption for the issuance of the New Preferred Shares, since the foregoing issuances did not/will not involve a public offering, the recipients are “accredited investors”, and the recipients acquired/will acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities will be subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities will contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.

 

In the event the New Preferred Shares are issued in full, and converted in full pursuant to their terms, a maximum of 16.5 million shares of common stock will be issuable upon conversion thereof.

 

Item 3.03

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The descriptions of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Designation set forth in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K are incorporated by reference in this Item 3.03 in their entirety by reference.

Effective on November 16, 2020, the Board appointed Mr. Johnson as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Gill was appointed on November 16, 2020, as the Chief Isolate Laboratory Technician of the Company (a non-executive position).

 

(d)

 

On November 16, 2020, as a required condition to the Purchase Agreement, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, pursuant to the power provided to the Board by the Bylaws of the Company, increased the number of members of the Board of Directors of the Company from two (2) to three (3), and immediately thereafter, on the same date, appointed Mr. Ryan Johnson as a member of the Board to fill such newly created vacancy.

 

The Purchase Agreement requires that the Board of Directors continue to nominate Mr. Johnson as a member of the Board of Directors until the earlier of (a) Mr. Johnson’s death; (b) the date Mr. Johnson resigns as a member of the Board of Directors, and/or as an employee of the Company; (c) the date Mr. Johnson’s employment is terminated for cause; (d) the date that Mr. Johnson is disqualified as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company due to any applicable rule of a stock exchange or NASDAQ; or (e) the date that the Board of Directors (or nominating committee) of the Company, acting in good faith, determines that the nomination of Mr. Johnson as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors would violate the fiduciary duties of such members of the Board of Directors (or such nominating committee).

 

As the Board of Directors does not currently have any committees, Mr. Johnson was not appointed to any committees of the Board.

Item 5.03.

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

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company designated a new series of preferred stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock” and the certificate of designation setting forth the rights thereof, the “Series A Designation”) of the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Designation are described in greater detail below.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Series A Designation, which was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 10, 2020, and filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of Nevada on November 12, 2020 (and effective the same date), designated 16,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share. The Series A Preferred Stock has the following rights:

 

Dividend Rights. The Series A Preferred Stock does not accrue any dividends, provided that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to such dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of common stock in cash, to the same extent as if such holders had converted the Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at the Conversion Rate (described below under “Conversion Rights”)(without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such shares of common stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions.

 

Liquidation Preference. The Series A Designation provides that the Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference which is (a) pari passu with respect to the Company’s common stock; and (b) junior to all current and future senior indebtedness of the Company. If the Company determines to liquidate, dissolve or wind-up its business and affairs, the Company will prior to or concurrently with the closing, effectuation or occurrence of any such action, pay the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, pari passu with the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and common stock, an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The “Liquidation Preference” per share of the Series A Preferred Stock is equal to $0.80 per share, or $13,200,000 in aggregate.

 

 


7


 

 

Conversion Rights. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis (subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations affecting the Company’s common stock and Series A Preferred Stock)(the “Conversion Rate”), at the option of the holder thereof, at any time following the second anniversary of the Razor Jacket Closing.

 

Voting Rights. The Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights on general matters to come before the shareholders of the Company; however, the Company is prohibited from undertaking any of the following actions without the approval of holders holding a majority of the then aggregate shares of Series A Preferred Stock:

 

(a)  Increasing or decreasing (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

 

(b)  Re-issuing any shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted pursuant to the terms of the Series A Designation;

 

(c)  Issuing any shares of Series A Preferred Stock other than pursuant to the Purchase Agreement;

 

(d)  Altering or changing the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of such series; or

 

(e)  Amending or waiving any provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws relative to the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in any material respect as compared to holders of other series of shares.

 

Redemption Rights. The Series A Preferred Stock does not have any redemption rights.

 

As discussed above, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued at the Razor Jacket Closing and instead such shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be earned over time, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, if at all.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Series A Designation do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series A Designation, a copy of which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 5.03 in its entirety by reference.

ESTABLISHING THE DESIGNATION, PREFERENCES,

LIMITATIONS AND RELATIVE RIGHTS OF ITS

SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

Pursuant to Section 78.1955 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc., a company organized and existing under the State of Nevada (the “Company”),

 

DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, and pursuant to Section 78.1955 of the NRS, the Board of Directors, by unanimous written consent of all members of the Board of Directors on November 10, 2020, duly adopted a resolution providing for the issuance of a series of Sixteen Million and Five Hundred Thousand (16,500,000) shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which resolution is and reads as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and invested in the Board of Directors by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and Section 78.1955 of the NRS, a series of the preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company be, and it hereby is, established; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the series of preferred stock of the Company be, and it hereby is, given the distinctive designation of “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall consist of Sixteen Million and Five Hundred Thousand (16,500,000) shares; and

 

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the powers and preferences, and the relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereon set forth in this Certificate of Designation (the “Designation” or the “Certificate of Designation”) below:

 

1.  Dividends.

 

1.1  Dividends in General. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall not accrue any dividends, provided that, the Holders shall, as holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, be entitled to such dividends paid and Distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and Distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or Distribution to the holders of Common Stock. Following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event (as hereinafter defined) and the payment in full to a Holder of its applicable Liquidation Preference, such Holder shall cease to have any rights hereunder to participate in any future dividends or distributions made to the holders of Common Stock. No Distributions shall be made with respect to the Common Stock until all past due, if any, and/or declared dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have been paid or set aside for payment to the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders shall have no right of participation in connection with dividends or Distributions made to the Common Stock shareholders consisting solely of shares of Common Stock.

 

1.2  Non-Cash Distributions. Whenever a Distribution provided for in this Section 1 shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of such Distribution shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.


Rapid Therapeutic: Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Page 1


1.3  Other Distributions. Subject to the terms of this Certificate of Designation, and to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, the Company shall be expressly permitted to redeem, repurchase or make distributions on the shares of its capital stock.

 

2.  Liquidation Rights.

 

2.1  Liquidation Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary (each a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive pari passu with any Distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and prior to any holders of any Junior Securities, by reason of their ownership of such stock, but not prior to any holders of the Company’s Senior Securities, which holders of the Senior Securities shall have priority to the Distribution of any assets of the Company, an amount per share for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by them equal to the Liquidation Preference. If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock (i.e., after payment of the Company’s liabilities and payment to any holders of the Company’s Senior Securities) are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amounts specified in this Section then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (on an as-converted basis) and Common Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and applicable law. For the sake of clarity, the rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event shall be pari passu with the rights of the Common Stock for all purposes.

 

2.2  Valuation of Non-Cash Consideration. If any assets of the Company distributed to stockholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company are other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

2.3  Effecting a Merger or Consolidation. The Company shall not have the power to effect a Liquidation Event or other transaction which is a merger, consolidation or exchange pursuant to which the shareholders of the Company will, subsequent to such transaction, hold less than 50% of the voting securities of the resulting entity, unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “Merger Agreement”) provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company shall be allocated among the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Common Stock of the Company in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2.

 

3.  Conversion. The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

3.1  Holder Conversion.

 

(a)  Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof (a “Conversion”), at any time following the second anniversary of the Closing Date, at the office of the Company or any Transfer Agent for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, into that number of fully-paid, nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the Original Issue Price for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock by (ii) the Conversion Price (such shares of Common Stock issuable upon a Conversion, the “Shares”). In order to effectuate the Conversion under this Section 3.1, the Holder must provide the Company a written notice of conversion in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Notice of Conversion”). The Notice of Conversion must be dated no earlier than three Business Days from the date the Notice of Conversion is actually received by the Company.

Page 2


(b)  Mechanics of Conversion. In order to effect an Conversion, a Holder shall fax or email a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the Company (or in the discretion of the Company, the Transfer Agent). Upon receipt by the Company of a facsimile or emailed copy of a Notice of Conversion from a Holder, the Company (or the Transfer Agent) shall promptly send, via facsimile or email, a confirmation to such Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received, the date upon which the Company (or the Transfer Agent) expects to deliver the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Company (or the Transfer Agent) regarding the Holder Conversion. The Holder shall surrender, or cause to be surrendered, the Preferred Stock Certificates being converted, duly endorsed, to the Company (or the Transfer Agent) at the address listed above (or the address of the Transfer Agent for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, if the Company is not serving as its own Transfer Agent for such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) within three Business Days of delivering the fully executed Notice of Conversion. The Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon a Conversion unless either (x) the Preferred Stock Certificates; or (y) the Lost Certificate Materials described in Section 10, below have been previously received by the Company or its Transfer Agent, unless such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are held in book-entry/non-certificated form. In the event the Holder has lost or misplaced the certificates evidencing the Preferred Stock, the Holder shall be required to provide the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent (as applicable) with whatever documentation and fees each may require to re-issue the Preferred Stock Certificates and shall be required to provide such re-issued Preferred Stock Certificates to the Company within three Business Days of delivering the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Period”).

 

(c)  Restricted Shares. Unless the Shares are covered by a valid and effective registration under the Securities Act or the Notice of Conversion provided by the Holder includes a valid opinion from an attorney stating that such shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the Notice of Conversion can be issued free of restrictive legend, which shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, such shares shall be issued as Restricted Shares. In the event such Shares are separately covered by a contractual lock-up and/or restriction, such Shares shall be issued, in the discretion of the Company, with a legend disclosing such contract lock-up and/or restriction.

 

(d)  Delivery of Common Stock upon Conversion. Upon the receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Company (itself, or through its Transfer Agent) shall, no later than the fifth Business Day following the date of such receipt (subject to the surrender of the Preferred Stock Certificates by the Holder within the period described in Section 3.1(b) or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of the Lost Certificate Materials), issue and deliver (i.e., deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service postage prepaid) to the Holder or its nominee (x) a certificate representing the Shares and (y) a certificate representing the number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock not being converted, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, and so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not then required to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to promptly electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (“DTC Transfer”). If the aforementioned conditions to a DTC Transfer are not satisfied, the Company shall deliver as provided above to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon Conversion. Further, a Holder may instruct the Company to deliver to the Holder physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion in lieu of delivering such shares by way of DTC Transfer.

 

(e)  Failure to Provide Preferred Stock Certificates. In the event the Holder provides the Company with a Notice of Conversion, but fails to provide the Company with the Preferred Stock Certificates or the Lost Certificate Materials (as defined in Section 10 below), by the end of the


Rapid Therapeutic: Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Page 3


Delivery Period, the Notice of Conversion shall be considered void and the Company shall not be required to comply with such Notice of Conversion, unless such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are held in book entry/non-certificate form.

 

3.2  Fractional Shares. If any Conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock (aggregating all shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to a given Notice of Conversion), such fractional share shall be payable in cash based upon the market value of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the date of conversion (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be the next lower whole number of shares. If the Company elects not to, or is unable to, make such a cash payment, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the final fraction of a share, one whole share of Common Stock.

 

3.3  Taxes. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect to any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon Conversion in a name other than that in which the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid. The Company shall withhold from any payment due whatsoever in connection with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock any and all required withholdings and/or taxes the Company, in its sole discretion deems reasonable or necessary, absent an opinion from Holder’s accountant or legal counsel, acceptable to the Company in its sole determination, that such withholdings and/or taxes are not required to be withheld by the Company.

 

3.4  No Impairment. The Corporation will not through any reorganization, transfer of assets, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock against impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall prohibit the Company from amending its Articles of Incorporation with the requisite consent of its stockholders and the Board of Directors, provided that such amendment will not prohibit the Company from having sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock to permit conversion hereunder.

 

3.5  Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

4.  Adjustments for Recapitalizations.

 

4.1  Equitable Adjustments for Recapitalizations. (a) The Liquidation Preference and the Original Issue Price (each, as and if applicable) (the “Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions”); (b) the Conversion Price (as and if applicable) (the “Common Stock Adjustable Provisions”), and (c) any and


Rapid Therapeutic: Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Page 4


all other terms, conditions, amounts and provisions of this Designation which (i) pursuant to the terms of this Designation provide for equitable adjustment in the event of a Recapitalization (the “Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions”); or (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in their reasonable good faith judgment is required to be equitably adjusted in connection with any Recapitalizations, shall each be subject to equitable adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 through 4.3, below, as determined by the Board of Directors in their sole and reasonable discretion.

 

4.2  Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, without a corresponding subdivision of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the applicable Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately and equitably adjusted. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, without a corresponding combination of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately and equitably adjusted.

 

4.3  Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. In the event the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the applicable Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions, Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately and equitably adjusted. In the event the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the applicable Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions, Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately and equitably adjusted. Provided however that the result of any concurrent adjustment in the Common Stock (as provided under Section 4.2) and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (as provided under Section 4.3) shall only be to affect the equitable adjustable provisions hereof once.

 

4.4  Other Adjustments. The Board of Directors of the Company shall also adjust equitably, and shall have the right to adjust equitably, any or all of the Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions, Common Stock Adjustable Provisions or Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions from time to time, if the Board of Directors of the Company determine in their reasonable good faith judgment that such values and/or provisions are required to be equitably adjusted in connection with any Company action.

 

4.5  Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution.

 

(a)  Except to the extent such Recapitalization Event is subject to Sections 4.1 through4.3, above (the “Recapitalization and Adjustment Rights”), and/or Section 2 (“Liquidation Rights”), if at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date there shall occur any capital reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, share exchange, restructuring, consolidation, combination or merger involving the Company in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) of the Company or otherwise (other than a transaction covered by the Recapitalization and Adjustment Rights or Liquidation Rights) (each a “Recapitalization Event”), provision shall be made so that each Series A Convertible Preferred Holder shall thereafter be entitled to


Rapid Therapeutic: Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Page 5


receive upon conversion of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Series A Convertible Preferred Holder the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash or any combination thereof) of the Company or otherwise, to which a Common Stock shareholder holding the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by such Series A Convertible Preferred Holder are convertible immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger (without regard for the Maximum Percentage) would have been entitled upon such event.

 

(b)  In the event that the holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the business combination, then the Company shall make adequate provision whereby the Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the opportunity to determine the form of consideration into which all of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, treated as a single class, shall be convertible from and after the effective date of such business combination. If such opportunity is granted, such determination shall be based on the determination at a meeting duly called or via a written consent to action of a Majority In Interest, shall be subject to any limitations to which all holders of Common Stock are subject, such as pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in such business combination, and shall be conducted in such a manner as to be completed by the date which is the earliest of (1) the deadline for elections to be made by holders of Common Stock and (2) two Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the business combination. Further, the Company shall not affect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Company) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.

 

(c)  If a conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is to be made in connection with a transaction contemplated by this Section 4.5 or a similar transaction affecting the Company (other than a tender or exchange offer), the conversion of any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may, at the election of the Holder thereof, be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such conversion shall not be deemed to be effective until such transaction has been consummated. In connection with any tender or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to tender (or submit for exchange) shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in such a manner so as to preserve the status of such shares as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock until immediately prior to such time as shares of Common Stock are to be purchased (or exchanged) pursuant to such offer, at which time that portion of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so tendered which is convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased (or exchanged) pursuant to such offer shall be deemed converted into the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock. Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock not so converted shall be returned to the Holder as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

(d)  None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to convert such Holder’s shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock prior to the effective date of such business combination, subject to the terms of this Designation.

 

(e)  In the event of any Recapitalization Event falling under this Section 4.5, in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4.5 with respect to the rights and interests of the Series A Convertible Preferred Holders after such events to the end that the provisions of this Section 4.5 (including, but not limited to, adjustment of the Conversion Price in respect of any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of all such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly reasonably as may be. The Company may not become a party to any such

transaction unless its terms are consistent with the preceding requirements and such transaction is otherwise affected in accordance with this Designation.

 

4.6  Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 4, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the reasonable written request at any time of any holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

(a)  Increase or decrease (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;

In the event that any Holder notifies the Company that a Preferred Stock Certificate evidencing shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Company shall issue a replacement stock certificate evidencing the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock identical in tenor and date (or if such certificate is being issued for shares not covered in a redemption or conversion, in the applicable tenor and date) to the original Preferred Stock Certificate evidencing the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, provided that the Holder executes and delivers to the Company and/or its Transfer Agent, as applicable, an affidavit of lost stock certificate and an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its Transfer Agent to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such Series A Convertible Preferred Stock certificate, and provides the Company and/or its Transfer Agent such other information, documents and if applicable, bonds and indemnities as the Company or its Transfer Agent customarily requires for reissuances of stock certificates (collectively the “Lost Certificate Materials”); provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue replacement stock certificates if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert or redeem the full number of shares evidenced by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

 

11.  No Other Rights or Privileges. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall have no other rights, privileges or preferences with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

No provision herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other provision unless so expressed herein.

TRADING AGREEMENT

 

THIS TRADING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), made as of this 16th day of November 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and among the individuals or entities who have signed a form of page 8 of this Agreement below (each a “Signature Page”, each signatory a “Shareholder” and collectively if more than one, the “Shareholders”) and Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc., a Nevada corporation (RTSL) (the “Company”).

 

W I T N E S S E TH:

 

WHEREAS, each Shareholder holds that number of shares of the Company’s common stock as are set forth next to his, her or its signature on the Signature Page (which shares, together with any and all other shares of common stock or other securities of the Company which a Shareholder may obtain beneficial or record ownership of until the end of the Trading Period (defined below), the “Shares”) including, but not limited to any shares obtained by exercising Warrants, or converting convertible securities and/or preferred stock, which Shares shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement as provided below; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement upon the terms and conditions contained hereinafter to set forth conditions pursuant to which the Shareholder may transfer and sell the Shares.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises set forth herein, $10 and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each Shareholder, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows.

 

1.  Trading Period. Each Shareholder hereby agrees that:

 

1.1.  Until October 31, 2023, each Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly Transfer any of the Shares; provided that after October 31, 2021, and until October 31, 2023 (such period, the Trading Period”), each Shareholder shall be authorized to sell a limited number of Shares in connection with an open market sale of the Shares, which number of Shares sold in the open market shall not exceed, on a daily basis, more than:

 

(1) 10.0% of the average aggregate daily number of shares of the Company’s common stock which have traded publicly on the OTC Pink Market, OTCQB, or such other market or exchange on which the Company’s common stock primarily trades, relative to the volume of shares trading during the open market (daily trading volume) (as adjusted for any stock split, recapitalization or combination), as determined by the daily trading volume of the open market for preceeding rolling thirty days.

 

1.2.  Additionally, during the Trading Period:


Trading Agreement (a/k/a Lock-up and Leak-out Agreement)

Shareholders of Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc.

Page 1 of 8


 

(1) Shareholders will not engage in collectively selling of individual, isolated trades of Shares that total in aggregate more than 10% of the daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock.

 

(2) Each Shareholder will not sell any Shares in the first or last 30 minutes of any trading day.

 

(3) Each Shareholder will trade the Shares in multiple trades and not have the allocated daily volume be placed as a single order placed on a trading desk as block trade in the last hour and 30 minutes of the trading day. The individual trading will be done on a “dripped procedure” relative to the daily trading volume.  An exemption to this requirement will be if a trade is placed early in the day and the volume “vanishes” at the end of the trading day.

 

(4) Each Shareholder may have a standard deviation relative to daily trading volume if the afternoon trading session volume lightens significantly relative to the trading market morning session.  That standard deviation is not to exceed 2% of the daily trading volume.

 

The obligations and restrictions of the Shareholder as set forth in Section 1.1 and Section 1.2 are defined as the “Trading Restrictions”.

 

1.3.  Transfer” means the direct or indirect, offer for sale, sale, pledge, hypothecation, transfer, assignment or other disposition of (or to enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the sale, pledge, hypothecation, transfer, assignment or other disposition at any time) (including, without limitation, by operation of law), or the entry into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of the Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise. This includes private transfers to any beneficial owner. For the sake of clarity, and without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, the Shareholder agrees and confirms that a distribution of any Shares to such Shareholder’s security holders, shareholders, members, or other owners, directly or indirectly, and by the operation of law or otherwise, shall be deemed a Transfer hereunder, and shall be prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

 

1.4.  Any attempted Transfer of Shares by any Shareholder which is not in compliance with this Agreement or which is in violation of the terms of this Agreement shall be void ab initio.

2.  Representations and Warranties of Each Shareholder. Each Shareholder individually, and not jointly or severally, represents, warrants and agrees that:

 

2.1.  The Shareholder is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Shares and has good and marketable title to all of the Shares. Shareholder has sole managerial and dispositive authority with respect to the Shares and has not granted any person a proxy or option to buy the Shares that has not expired or been validly withdrawn.

 

2.2.  The Shares and any certificate evidencing such Shares and/or any book-entry notation representing the Shares, may, at the request of the Company, be stamped or otherwise imprinted or noted with a conspicuous legend in substantially the following form:

 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THAT CERTAIN TRADING AGREEMENT (A/K/A A LOCK-UP AND LEAK OUT AGREEMENT) BETWEEN CERTAIN SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY, INCLUDING THE HOLDER, AND THE COMPANY, DATED AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2020. A COPY OF THE LOCK-UP AGREEMENT MAY BE INSPECTED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.

 

3.  Right to Reject Dispositions. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its Transfer Agent are hereby authorized (i) to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement and (ii) to imprint on any certificate representing Shares beneficially owned by a Shareholder (or any book-entry relating to such Shares) with a legend describing the restrictions contained herein.

 

4.  Power and Authority. Each party hereto respectively represents and warrants that such party has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that, upon request of the Company, each Shareholder will execute any additional documents necessary in connection with the enforcement hereof.

 

5.  No Assignment; Binding Nature. No party may assign this Agreement in whole or in part, without the written consent of the other parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

6.  Inspection of Records. On the first day of each calendar month during the Trading Period, all Shareholders shall produce their prior month’s trading records for inspection by the Company, for all brokerage accounts. Failure to timely produce such trading records shall be a violation of this Agreement and the Company may thereafter, in its sole discretion, cause the transfer agent to suspend further transfers and/or may seek injunctive relief to stop sales of any shares held in a trading account by the applicable Shareholder who has not complied with the terms of this Section 6.

7.4.  Specific Performance. The parties agree that the covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters and that a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof would cause irreparable injury in an amount which would be impossible to estimate or determine and for which any remedy at law would be inadequate.  As such, the parties agree that if either party fails or refuses to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement, then the other party shall have the remedy of specific performance, which remedy shall be cumulative and nonexclusive and shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies otherwise available under any other contract or at law or in equity and to which such party might be entitled. The Shareholder therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or the terms and conditions hereof by the Shareholder, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach or threatened breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
