Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Merger Agreement
Effective November 25, 2014, Cocrystal Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Cocrystal”), Cocrystal Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Cocrystal (the “Company”), Cocrystal Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Cocrystal Merger Sub”), RFS Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “RFS Merger Sub”) and RFS Pharma, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“RFS Pharma”) entered into and closed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company to Cocrystal’s stockholders in exchange for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Cocrystal. Cocrystal Merger Sub then merged with and into Cocrystal, with Cocrystal continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the outstanding common stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B”), options and warrants of Cocrystal were converted into an identical number of each security of the Company. In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company created a series of preferred stock called the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A”) and issued all shares of Series A to RFS Merger Sub, as discussed below. RFS Merger Sub then merged with and into RFS Pharma, with RFS Pharma continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The foregoing transactions are collectively referred to as the “Merger.”

As a result of the Merger, the Company succeeded Cocrystal as the publicly-traded company and reporting entity with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Subsequent to the Merger, as discussed in Item 5.03 below, Cocrystal changed its name to Cocrystal Merger Sub, Inc. and the Company changed its name to Cocrystal Pharma, Inc.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Series A Preferred Stock
In connection with the Merger, the Company issued to RFS Pharma’s members 1,000,000 shares of Series A.  The Series A shares automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial rate of 340.760802 shares for each share of Series A outstanding at such time that the Company has taken action to obtain sufficient authorized capital (the “Capital Increase”) to convert all outstanding shares of Series A and all outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B”). If the Company has not effected the Capital Increase by July 1, 2015, the amount of common stock into which the Series A is convertible (the “Conversion Amount”) will increase by 3% of the initial rate, and will continue to increase by an additional 1% of the rate in effect as of the July 1, 2015 adjustment on the first day of each subsequent month until the Company effects the Capital Increase.

The Series A shares are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Company and vote on an as-converted basis.  Beginning on November 25, 2015, the Series A can be redeemed for a cash payment (the “Conversion Price”) equal to (i) the Conversion Amount in effect at the time of such calculation, multiplied by (ii) the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock over the 30 days preceding the Merger. In the event of the Company’s dissolution, change of control or similar event, holders of the Series A shares are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the Conversion Price. Beginning July 1, 2015, if the Series A remains outstanding, shares of Series A will begin to accrue dividends at the rate of 12% per year of the Conversion Price, subject to monthly adjustment for increases in the Conversion Amount.

The foregoing description of the Series A is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Series A Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 
 

 

Stockholder Rights Agreement
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company, Cocrystal, RFS Pharma, and certain of their respective security holders entered a Stockholder Rights Agreement under which the security holders agreed to abide by certain transfer restrictions with respect to their shares of the Company capital stock, to elect certain designees of Cocrystal and RFS Pharma to the Company Board of Directors, and to certain rights and obligations in the event of a subsequent financing by the Company. The security holders also agreed to vote in favor of corporate action to effect the Capital Increase described above. In addition, the Company and the security holders agreed that the Company will not take action to amend its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or take any corporate action adversely affecting holders of the Series A or Series B without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Series A or Series B shares, as applicable. The foregoing description of the Stockholder Rights Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of Stockholder Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Equity Incentive Plan
In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed from Cocrystal the Cocrystal Discovery, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and all of the outstanding equity awards outstanding under the Plan.  In addition, the Company assumed certain outstanding options to purchase RFS Pharma securities, and such options were converted into the right to purchase a total of 16,542,538 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the foregoing, a total of 19,600,102 options are presently outstanding. The RFS Pharma options assumed in connection with the Merger were granted between January 2008 and July 2013, expire 10 years from the date of original grant, have vesting terms ranging from three to five years from the date of original grant, and have exercise prices of between $.05 and approximately $.15 per share of the Company’s common stock. A copy of the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

(b)             Adjustments to Conversion Amount . If, prior to July 1, 2015, the Corporation has not effected the Capital Increase, then the Conversion Amount shall be adjusted as follows:
 
(i)       On July 1, 2015, the Conversion Amount as of the date of the Closing Date (the “ Initial Conversion Amount ”, or 340.7608 shares, will be increased by three percent (3%) of the Initial Conversion Amount, or 10.2228 additional shares, such that the Conversion Amount in effect on and after July 1, 2015, as subject to further adjustment in accordance with paragraph (ii) and paragraph (iii), below, shall be 350.9836.

Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from and including July 1, 2015 and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date (as defined below), commencing August 15, 2015;  provided , however , that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

(i)       In the event the holder elects to redeem shares of Series A while accrued but unpaid dividends are due and payable, the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends payable per share of Series A being redeemed shall be added to the Redemption Price paid to such holder in accordance with Section 3 herein.
 
(ii)       In the event accrued but unpaid dividends are due and payable upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends payable per share of Series A shall be added to the Redemption Price paid to such holder in accordance with Section 4 herein.
 
(iii)             In the event accrued but unpaid dividends are due and payable upon the occurrence of the Capital Increase, the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends payable per share of Series A shall be converted without further action of the holder or the Corporation into debt of the Corporation, which debt will bear interest at the Federal Applicable Rate then in effect as established by the Internal Revenue Service, with such debt maturing on, and payment of all principal and interest due on, the first anniversary of the Capital Increase.

(d)            When dividends are not paid in full (and a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) on the Series A and the shares of any other class or series of capital stock ranking, as to dividends, on parity with the Series A, all dividends declared upon the Series A and each such other class or series of capital stock ranking, as to dividends, on parity with the Series A shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series A and such other class or series of capital stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series A and such other class or series of capital stock (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends on such other class or series of capital stock for prior dividend periods if such other class or series of capital stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A which may be in arrears.
 
(e)           Holders of shares of Series A shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or shares of stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series A as provided herein. Any dividend payment made on the Series A Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividends due with respect to such shares which remain payable.

8.           Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Company shall so provide.

Meetings of shareholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware as the bylaws may provide.  The books of the Company may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the statutes) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the board of directors or in the bylaws of the Company.

9.           The Company reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this certificate of incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon shareholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

10.           No director of this Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Nothing in this paragraph shall serve to eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to this Company or its shareholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the shareholders of this article to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph by the shareholders of the Company shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

11.           (a)           Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding (except as provided in Section 11 (f)) whether civil, criminal or administrative, (a “Proceeding”), or is contacted by any governmental or regulatory body in connection with any investigation or inquiry (an “Investigation”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or executive officer (as such term is utilized pursuant to interpretations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such Proceeding or Investigation is alleged action in an official capacity or in any other capacity as set forth above shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “Advancement of Expenses”); provided , however , that an Advancement of Expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise (an “Undertaking”).

(b)           If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section is not paid in full by the Company within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Company, except in the case of a claim for an Advancement of Expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim.  If successful in whole or in part in any such suit or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit.  In

(i)           any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that, and

(ii)           any suit by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that,

the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Neither the failure of the Company (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit.  In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right hereunder, or by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or to such Advancement of Expenses under this Section or otherwise shall be on the Company.

(c)           The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, this certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

(d)           The Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(e)           The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board of directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses, to any employee or agent of the Company to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section with respect to the indemnification and Advancement of Expenses of directors, and executive officers of the Company.

(f)           Notwithstanding the indemnification provided for by this Section 11, the Company’s bylaws, or any written agreement, such indemnity shall not include any Advancement of Expenses incurred by such Indemnitees relating to or arising from any Proceeding in which the Company asserts a direct claim against an Indemnitee, or an Indemnitee asserts a direct claim against the Company, whether such claim is termed a complaint, counterclaim, crossclaim, third-party complaint or otherwise. Following the termination of any Proceeding referred to in this Section 11(f), the Company may provide indemnification in accordance with this Section 11, the Company’s bylaws,  any written agreement or the Delaware General Corporation Law.

12.           This Certificate of Incorporation and the internal affairs of the Company shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflict of laws principles.  Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer (or affiliate of any of the foregoing) of the Company to the Company or the Company’s shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (iv) any other action asserting a claim arising under, in connection with, and governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

I, THE UNDERSIGNED, being the incorporator hereinbefore named, for the purpose of forming a corporation pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, do make this certificate, hereby declaring and certifying that this is my act and deed and the facts herein stated are true, and accordingly have hereunto set my hand this 21st day of November, 2014.

If, however, after the adjournment the Board of Directors fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of adjourned meeting, shall be given as provided in this section to each stockholder of record on the new record date entitled to vote at such meeting.
 
Section 6. Record Date . In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.

After a quorum has been established at a stockholders’ meeting, the subsequent withdrawal of stockholders, so as to reduce the number of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting below the number required for a quorum, shall not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.
 
Section 8. Voting of Shares . Each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, provided , however , that if the certificate of designation of any class or series of stock provides for different or additional voting rights in accordance with the rights, preferences and designations of such class or series, the holders of such shares shall vote in accordance with the terms of the applicable certificate of designation.

Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by the officer, agent, or proxy designated by the bylaws of the corporate stockholder; or, in the absence of any applicable bylaw, by such person as the Board of Directors of the corporate stockholder may designate.

In the absence of any such designation, or in case of conflicting designation by the corporate stockholder, the chairman or co-chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president, any vice president, secretary and treasurer of the corporate stockholder shall be presumed to possess, in that order, authority to vote such shares.

Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.
 
A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee or his nominee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.
 
On and after the date on which written notice of redemption of redeemable shares has been mailed to the holders thereof and a sum sufficient to redeem such shares has been deposited with a bank or trust company with irrevocable instruction and authority to pay the redemption price to the holders thereof upon surrender of certificates therefor, such shares shall not be entitled to vote on any matter and shall not be deemed to be outstanding shares.

Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it, except as otherwise provided by law.
 
The authority of the holder of a proxy to act shall not be revoked by the incompetence or death of the stockholder who executed the proxy unless, before the authority is exercised, written notice of an adjudication of such incompetence or of such death is received by the corporate officer responsible for maintaining the list of stockholders.
 
If a proxy for the same shares confers authority upon two or more persons and does not otherwise provide, a majority of them present at the meeting, or if only one is present then that one, may exercise all the powers conferred by the proxy; but if the proxy holders present at the meeting are equally divided as to the right and manner of voting in any particular case, the voting of such shares shall be prorated.
 
If a proxy expressly provides, any proxy holder may appoint in writing a substitute to act in his place.

If any class of shares is entitled to vote thereon as a class, such written consent shall be required of the holders of a majority of the shares of each class of shares entitled to vote as a class thereon and of the total shares entitled to vote thereon.

If a proxy for the same shares confers authority upon two or more persons and does not otherwise provide, a majority of them present at the meeting, or if only one is present then that one, may exercise all the powers conferred by the proxy; but if the proxy holders present at the meeting are equally divided as to the right and manner of voting in any particular case, the voting of such shares shall be prorated.
