1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 17, 2018, our partially owned subsidiary Clyra Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Clyra”) and Scion Solutions, LLC (“Scion”) entered into a closing agreement (“Closing Agreement”) reflecting the satisfaction of the obligation to raise $1,000,000 “base capital” established under the Stock Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated September 26, 2018 (“Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Clyra acquired the assets of Scion, in particular its stem cell based technology, the SkinDisc TM . With the satisfaction of the obligation to raise $1,000,000 in base capital, Clyra and Scion agreed that the 120-day obligation to raise the “base capital” had been met, and agreed to release to Scion one-half of the shares of Clyra common stock exchanged for the Scion assets. The remaining Clyra common shares remain subject to the Escrow Agreement dated September 26, 2018, subject to the following performance metrics, each vesting one-fifth of the remaining shares of common stock: (a) notification of FDA premarket clearance of certain orthopedics products, or recognition by Clyra Acquisition of $100,000 gross revenue; (b) the recognition by Clyra of $100,000 in aggregate gross revenue; (c) the granting of all or any part of the patent application for the Skin Disc product, or recognition by Clyra Acquisition of $500,000 in gross revenue; (d) recognition by Clyra Acquisition of $1,000,000 in aggregate gross revenue; and (e) recognition by Clyra Acquisition of $2,000,000 in gross revenue.

 

In addition, Clyra and Scion entered into the $1,250,000 promissory note called for by the Purchase Agreement, and agreed to issue payment to Scion of 25% of the offering proceeds within two business days. The promissory note accrues interest at the rate of 5%. Principal and interest due under the note are to be paid periodically at a rate of 25% of investment proceeds received. If the note is not paid off within 18 months after the date of issuance, it is automatically extended for additional 12-month periods until the note is repaid in full. Payments after the initial 18-month maturity date are required to be made as investment proceeds are received, at a rate of 25% of such proceeds, and 5% of Clyra’s gross revenues.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, Promissory Note, Escrow Agreement, and Closing Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4.

     The Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1.      Principal and Interest Payments . Accrual of interest shall commence as of the Issuance Date. Issuer shall make periodic payments to Holder in amounts equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of all amounts that Issuer receives from the sale of capital stock of Issuer to third parties. Such periodic payments shall be made no later than ten (10) days after Issuer receives such amounts from any third parties; provided, however, that the first of such payments shall not be made until after the close of escrow for the funds dedicated to the acquisition of Holder by Issuer. Such periodic payments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to outstanding principal.

 

- 1 - 

 

 

2.      Maturity Date Extensions . In the event that the Maturity Date is automatically extended for an additional twelve-month extension after the initial eighteen-month period, or there are subsequent twelve-month extensions of the Maturity Date, as prescribed above, Issuer shall make a payment to Holder at the close of any such additional twelve-month period equal to the greater of:

Such payments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to outstanding principal.

 

3.      Prepayment . Issuer may prepay any amount owed under this Note in whole or in part.

 

4.     Transfer . This Note has been issued subject to investment representations of the original Holder hereof and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Prior to the due presentment for such transfer of this Note, the Issuer and any agent of the Issuer may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the records of the Issuer as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and all other purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Issuer nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The transferee shall be bound, as the original Holder by the same representations and terms described herein.

 

5.       Events of Default . Each of the following occurrences is hereby defined as an “Event of Default”:

 

a.      Nonpayment . The Issuer shall fail to make any payment of principal, interest, or other amounts payable hereunder when and as due, and at least ten (10) days have elapsed since Holder has demanded such payment without cure by the Issuer; or

 

b.      Dissolutions, etc . The Issuer or any subsidiary shall fail to comply with any provision concerning its existence or any prohibition against dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or sale of assets; or

 

c.      Noncompliance with this Agreement . The Issuer shall fail to comply in any material respect with any provision hereof, which failure does not otherwise constitute an Event of Default, and such failure shall continue for ten (10) days after the occurrence of such failure; or

 

d.     Bankruptcy . Any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding, domestic or foreign, is instituted by or against the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, or the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries shall take any step toward, or to authorize, such a proceeding; or

 

- 2 -

 

 

e.      Insolvency . The Issuer shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, shall enter into any composition or similar agreement, or shall suspend the transaction of all or a substantial portion of its usual business.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (without the need for any party to give any notice or take any other action), this Note (and all interest through such date) shall be immediately due and payable. It is agreed that in the event of such action, such Holder shall be entitled to receive all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred, including without limitation such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys. The parties acknowledge that a change in control of the Issuer shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default as set forth herein.

 

7.      Invalid or Unenforceable Provisions . In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Note to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

BioLarg o’s subsidiary Clyra Medical secures over $1 million in direct investments to finalize the acquisition of the breakthrough stem cell therapy technology SkinDis c

 

WESTMINSTER, Calif., December 19, 2018 – BioLargo, Inc. (OTCQB:BLGO), developer of sustainable science and technologies and a full-service environmental engineering company, announced today that its partially owned subsidiary Clyra Medical Technologies, Inc. has secured over $1 million in new capital via direct investment and finalized its acquisition of a breakthrough stem cell therapy technology called “SkinDisc TM .” Developed by Scion Solutions, LLC, SkinDisc TM uses a homogenous cocktail to generate a cell-rich bio gel that supports the healing of chronic wounds. The product has been deployed clinically in over 250 patient cases with no adverse side effects, and successfully aided in the salvage of limbs that otherwise may have led to amputation and costly treatments.

 

In addition to the acquiring the SkinDisc TM product, Clyra has engaged Scion’s founders to support its commercial strategy, including Dr. Brock Liden, a renowned wound specialist and expert in diabetic limb salvage, and Spencer Brown, a medical device industry veteran with more than 35 years of experience working in medical sales, account management, and distribution in the medical device industry. In addition to Dr. Liden and Mr. Brown, Scion’s founders include Tanya Rhodes, former VP of Innovation at Smith & Nephew, and a current Clyra consultant. The details of the Scion transaction were previously reported in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 2, 2018 (link here).

 

Dennis P. Calvert, CEO of BioLargo commented, “Our core technologies are the foundation upon which we are building a successful company, and this is just one example. By funding Clyra through direct investment, we have secured dedicated capital to complete its products’ journey to market while also creating value for BioLargo’s shareholders through ownership in Clyra and its ongoing licensing arrangement. In this same vein, we intend to pursue direct investment for our BioLargo Water subsidiary in 2019. These developments serve to enhance the fundamental value of BioLargo while also helping to conserve capital.”

 

Calvert continued, “The completion of the Scion transaction is important for many reasons. First, a fairness opinion report written by an independent evaluator suggested that there is good evidence, based on comparable company analysis, that the combined value of Clyra and Scion would be approximately $33 million following this transaction. Second, the two technical platforms - Clyra antimicrobial products and the SkinDiscTM - represent substantial product platforms upon which to build an internationally competitive wound care company. Finally, Scion’s founders have successfully launched multiple products into the medical industry and bring crucial expertise on positioning our products in those markets. Of course, we remind our shareholders that we cannot predict the timing of the approval of our current application before the FDA, but that we are highly encouraged with the continued interaction with the FDA staff and believe we are on the right track to be successful soon.”

 

 

 

 

Clyra Medical’s antimicrobial technology feature a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial efficacy with no known acquired resistance, sustained release, biofilm efficacy, and bioharmony for skin and tissue. While Clyra realizes the need and opportunity across many medical disciplines, the initial targeted commercial markets will be in the areas of general wound therapy, infection control for the orthopedic surgery, and dental. The Clyra technology presents the potential for multiple additional product designs.
