Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Asset Purchase Agreement
On March 4, 2025, BioCorRx Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), BioCorRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, and USWM, LLC (the “Seller”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”). The Seller does business as US WorldMeds.
Pursuant to the APA, the Subsidiary purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities related to Lucemyra, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) approved prescription medication for opioid withdrawal. The upfront purchase price was $400,000 to be paid via Seller’s retention, until such amounts equal $400,000 of fifty percent (50%) of the Net Sales (as defined in the APA) of Lucemyra and fifty percent (50%) of the Net Distributable Profits of the generic version of Lucemyra.
Securities Purchase Agreement
As a condition to the closing of the APA, the Company and the Seller entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) whereby the Company, as part of the consideration paid to the Seller for the purchase of the assets, agreed to issue five hundred thousand (500,000) shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and to issue a warrant to the Seller for the purchase of five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant). The Warrant is exercisable for two years and has an exercise price of $1.00 per share.
The foregoing description of the APA, the SPA, and the Warrant does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the form of the APA, the SPA, and the Warrant, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, and Exhibit 4.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The applicable information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02.
The Shares and the Warrant and the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant upon the exercise of the Warrant have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and are or will be, as the case may be, “restricted securities” as that term is defined by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
The issuance of the Shares and the Warrant and the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant upon the exercise of the Warrant (collectively, the “Securities”) was made or will be made, as the case may be, in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for the offer and sale of securities not involving a public offering. The Company’s reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in issuing the Securities was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the Securities was an isolated private transaction by the Company which did not involve a public offering; (b) there was only one recipient; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the Securities by the Company; (d) the Securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; (e) the negotiations for the issuance of the Securities took place directly between the Seller and the Company; and (f) the Seller is an accredited investor.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 10, 2025, the Company issued a press release regarding the closing of the transactions pursuant to the parties’ entrance into the APA and the SPA. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
No. | 2025-001 | 500,000 | Shares |
This WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK is made as of March 4, 2025 WHEREAS BioCorRx Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), with its principal office at 2390 E Orangewood Avenue, Suite 570, Anaheim, California 92806, and USWM, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Holder”);
WHEREAS the Company and the Holder entered into a WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, dated as of March 4, 2025.
WHEREAS, this appropriately and fully states the intent and understanding of all parties and shall serve to clarify issues which have become known to the parties since the execution of the WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK on March 4, 2025. It is acknowledged and agreed by all parties that terms stated herein shall fully supersede any and all prior agreements and/or understandings between parties whether written or oral.
WHEREAS the Company shall issue a Warrant in favor of the Holder pursuant to which the number of common shares that the Holder has the right to purchase equals 500,000; and
NOW, THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company hereby certifies that the Holder, or its assigns (hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Holder” as the context requires), is entitled, subject to the provisions of this Warrant, to purchase from the Company, at any time before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the expiration date of two (2) years following the execution of this Warrant dated as of March 4, 2027 (the “Expiration Date”), the number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares of the Company set forth above, subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided.
Holder may purchase such number of Warrant Shares at a purchase price per share of One Dollar ($1.00) (the “Exercise Price”). The term “Common Stock” shall mean the aforementioned Common Stock of the Company, together with any other equity securities that may be issued by the Company in addition thereto or in substitution therefor as provided herein.
1 |
Section 1. Exercise of Warrant.
(a) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part on any business day, commencing on the date of this Warrant, and ending prior to the Expiration Date (collectively, the “Exercise Period”), by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company at its principal office at the address set forth in the initial paragraph hereof (or at such other address as the Company may hereafter notify Holder in writing) with the Purchase Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by proper payment of the Exercise Price in lawful money of the United States of America in the form of cash, by wire transfer or by check, subject to collection, for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the Purchase Form. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of Holder thereof to purchase the balance of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and such Purchase Form, together with proper payment of the Exercise Price, at such office, Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to Holder. The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of the Warrant Shares.
Section 2. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant all shares of its Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant; provided, however, that if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of all of the outstanding Warrants, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such corporate action as necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including without limitation engaging in commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval. All such shares shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale (other than as provided in the Company’s articles of incorporation and any restrictions on sale set forth herein or pursuant to applicable federal and state securities laws) and free and clear of all preemptive rights.
Section 3. Fractional Interest. The Company will not issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant. Instead, the Company will deliver its check for the current market value of the fractional share. The current market value of a fraction of a share is determined as follows: multiply the current market price of a full share by the fraction of a share and round the result to the nearest cent.
The current market price of a share of Common Stock for purposes of this Section is the last reported sales price of the Common Stock as reported by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority OTC Bulletin Board electronic inter-dealer quotation system, or the primary national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then quoted, on the last trading day prior to the exercise date; provided, however, that if the Common Stock is neither traded on a national securities exchange, the price referred to above shall be the price reflected in the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by FINRA, the OTC Markets Group Inc. electronic inter-dealer quotation system, including OTCQX, OTCQB and OTC Pink, or any organization performing a similar function.
Section 4. Assignment of Loss of Warrant.
(a) Except as provided in Section 9, Holder shall be entitled, without obtaining the consent of the Company, to assign its interest in this Warrant in whole or in part to any person or persons. Subject to the provisions of Section 9, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company or at the office of its stock transfer agent or warrant agent, with the Assignment Form annexed hereto duly executed and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees named in such instrument of assignment (any such assignee will then be a “Holder” for purposes of this Warrant) and, if Holder’s entire interest is not being assigned, in the name of Holder, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.
(b) Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnification satisfactory to the Company, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date.
Section 5. Rights of Holder. Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon Holder hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder of the Company on any matters or with respect to any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised in accordance with its terms.
2 |
Section 6. Adjustment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 6. The Company shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6 in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 6(c).
(b) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Company shall:
(i) make or issue or set a record date for the holders of the Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (2) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Debenture is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
(c) Notice of Certain Actions. In the event that:
(i) the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of its Common Stock of rights, warrants, options or convertible securities to subscribe for or purchase shares of its Common Stock or of any other subscription rights, warrants, options or convertible securities; or
(ii) the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated current or retained earnings as shown on the books of the Company and paid in the ordinary course of business); or
(iii) the Company shall authorize any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock and other than a change in par value of the Common Stock) or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or change of the Common Stock outstanding), or of the conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; or
(iv) the Company is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up procedure; or
(v) the Company proposes to take any action that would require an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 6, then the Company shall cause to be mailed by first-class mail to Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to receive any such rights, warrants or distributions are to be determined, or (y) the date on which any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
3 |
Section 7. Officers’ Certificate. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as required by the provisions of Section 6, the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary at its principal office an officers’ certificate showing the adjusted Exercise Price determined as herein provided, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing such adjustment. Each such officers’ certificate shall be signed by the chairperson, president or chief financial officer of the Company and by the secretary or any assistant secretary of the Company. Each such officers’ certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by Holder.
Section 8. Reclassification, Reorganization, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock and other than a change in the par value of the Common Stock) or in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger (excluding a reverse triangular merger or similar transaction) in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) or in the event of any sale, lease, transfer or conveyance to another corporation of the property and assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that Holder shall have the right thereafter, by exercising this Warrant at any time prior to the Expiration Date, to purchase the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization and other change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that might have been received upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, capital reorganization, change, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance. Any such provision shall include provisions for adjustments in respect of such shares of stock and other securities and property that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Warrant. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of shares of Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. The issuer of any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant shall be responsible for all of the agreements and obligations of the Company hereunder.
Section 9. Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act of 1933. This Warrant may not be exercised and neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares, nor any interest in either, may be offered, sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, except in compliance with applicable United States federal and state securities or blue sky laws and the terms and conditions hereof. Each Warrant shall bear a legend in substantially the same form as the legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant. Each certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are acquired pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Act or are eligible for transfer pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable blue sky laws shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL OR BASED ON OTHER WRITTEN EVIDENCE IN THE FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.
Any certificate for any Warrant Shares issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate for any Warrant Shares bearing such legend (except a new certificate for any Warrant Shares (i) issued after the acquisition of such Warrant Shares pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Act or in a transaction in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or (ii) that are then eligible for transfer pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act) shall also bear such legend unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, the Warrant Shares represented thereby need no longer be subject to the restriction contained herein. The provisions of this Section 9 shall be binding upon all subsequent holders of certificates for Warrant Shares bearing the above legend and all subsequent holders of this Warrant, if any. Nothing in this Section 9 or elsewhere in this Warrant shall be deemed to restrict the ability of the holder hereof to transfer Warrant Shares to an affiliate, partner or former partner of such holder in compliance with the Securities Act, nor shall any legal opinion be required in respect thereof.

Section 10. Registration Rights.
(a) Piggyback Registration. If the Company at any time proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act respecting any securities of the Company on a form appropriate for registration of a sale of Warrant Shares (excluding registrations of shares of Common Stock to be offered in connection with the Company’s employee benefit plans and registrations of securities to be offered by the Company in connection with acquisitions, mergers or similar transactions), it will at such time give written notice to Holder of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of Holder given within 15 days after receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Warrant Shares intended to be sold or disposed of by Holder and describe the nature of any proposed sale or other disposition thereof), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts, but shall not be obligated, to cause all such Warrant Shares specified in such request to be so registered. In the event that any such registration shall be underwritten, if the underwriters notify the Company in writing that the inclusion in such underwriting of such Warrant Shares would materially and adversely affect the underwriting, the Company shall have the right not to include such Warrant Shares.
(b) Other Registrations. If, in connection with a registration under the Securities Act, any Warrant Shares require registration or qualification with or approval of any United States or state governmental official or authority other than registration under the Securities Act before the Warrant Shares may be sold, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Warrant Shares to be duly registered or approved as may be required; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to give a general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or subject itself to taxation as doing business in any such state.
(c) Registration Obligations. The Company shall deliver to Holder after effectiveness of any registration under this Warrant such reasonable number of copies of a definitive prospectus included in such registration statement and of any revised or supplemental prospectus filed as Holder may from time to time request. The Company shall file post-effective amendments or supplements to such registration statement for a period of up to 90 days after the commencement of the offering and so long as a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Act in order that the registration statement may be effective at all times during such period and at all times comply with the various applicable federal and state securities laws (after which period the Company may withdraw such Warrant Shares from registration), and shall deliver copies of the prospectus contained therein as hereinabove provided. Holder shall notify the Company when his sales are completed.
Prior to filing a registration statement which includes Warrant Shares, the Company shall (i) provide copies of such registration statement at a reasonable time before it is filed for the review of Holder and the underwriters of Holder; and (ii) make available to such Holders or underwriters the appropriate employees and records for purposes of performing the requisite “due diligence”.
(d) Expenses. In any registration pursuant to Section 10 of this Warrant, Holder shall pay the Company for the incremental portion of the federal and state registration and filing fees attributable to the Warrant Shares and shall pay all underwriting commissions, discounts, underwriting expenses and taxes attributable to the Warrant Shares.
(e) Indemnity. The Company shall indemnify Holder and each underwriter of Warrant Shares (and any person who controls such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a prospectus or in any related registration statement, notification or the like or from any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by Holder or such underwriter expressly for use therein and used in accordance with such writing.
Holder shall furnish to the Company such information concerning Holder as may be requested by the Company which is necessary in connection with any registration or qualification of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof, and to indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and each underwriter of the Company’s securities (and any person who controls the Company or any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in a prospectus or any related registration statement, notification or the like, or omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent the same was derived from information furnished in writing to the Company by Holder expressly for use therein and used in accordance with such writing.
5 |
If any action is brought or any claim is made against any persons indemnified pursuant to this Section in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the indemnitor pursuant to this Section, such person shall promptly notify the indemnitor in writing of the institution of such action or the making of such claim and the indemnitor shall promptly notify the indemnitor in writing of the institution of such action or the making of such claim and the indemnitor shall assume the defense of such action or claim, including the employment of counsel and payment of expenses. Such person shall have the right to employ his own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnitor in connection with the defense of such action or claim or the indemnitor shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of such action or claim or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to him which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnitor (in which the case the indemnitor shall have the right to direct any different or additional defense of such action or claim on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses of not more than one additional counsel for the indemnified person shall be borne by the indemnitor. Except as expressly provided above, in the event that the indemnitor shall not previously have assumed the defense of any such action or claim, at such time as the indemnitor does not assume the defense of such action or claim, the indemnitor shall thereafter be liable to any person indemnified pursuant to this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such person in investigating, preparing or defending against such action or claim. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent.
Section 12. Modification and Waiver. Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and by Holder.
Section 13. No Dilution or Impairment. The Company shall not participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or take any other voluntary action, for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment.
Section 14. Notices. Any notice, request, direction, demand, consent, waiver, approval or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall not be effective unless it is given in writing and shall be delivered (a) by electronic mail but only to the extent the receiving party acknowledges in writing (by reply email or otherwise) receipt and acceptance of service thereof by electronic mail, with such notice being effective upon such acknowledgement and acceptance, (b) by personal service or (c) by next business day delivery via a commercial overnight courier that guarantees next day delivery and provides a receipt, and addressed to the Holder at its address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address indicated therefor in the first paragraph of this Warrant. The giving of notice to any counsel or other advisors to a party hereto shall not constitute the giving of notice to a party hereto. Service of any such notice or other communications pursuant to clauses (b) or (c) above shall be deemed effective on the day of actual delivery (whether accepted or refused) and as confirmed by the courier service if by courier; provided, however, that if such actual delivery occurs after 5:00 p.m. (local time where received) or on a non-Business Day, then such notice or demand so made shall be deemed effective on the first Business Day immediately following the day of actual delivery. Except as provided herein to the contrary, no communications via electronic mail shall be effective to give any notice, request, direction, demand, consent, waiver, approval or other communications hereunder. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to Holder or the Company shall be delivered or shall be sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, to Holder at its address as shown on the books of the Company or to the Company at the address indicated therefor in the first paragraph of this Warrant.
Section 15. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant, excluding any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Warrant Shares in a name other than that in which the Warrant so exercised was registered.
Section 16. Descriptive Headings and Governing Law. The descriptive headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

Following the execution of this Agreement, the parties will negotiate a definitive distribution services agreement (the “DSA”) pursuant to which Seller will be engaged as a distributor of the Product on behalf of Buyer for a limited time after the Closing Date until Buyer has established such distribution channels. The DSA will be on commercially reasonable terms, and will (i) contain a detailed list of the specific services desired to be performed and (ii) include terms and conditions regarding the escrowing of necessary funds by Buyer in order to facilitate timely and full payment in respect of any Payment Claims.
(b) Where only part of a Third Party Agreement relates to the Product sold to Buyer under this Agreement or where such Third Party Agreement is not exclusively related to the Product including those Third Party Agreements listed in Annex 3, then nothing in this Agreement shall oblige Seller to assign such Third Party Agreement to Buyer and Seller shall remove the Product from the scope of the Third Party Agreement as soon as practicable after the Closing, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties.

Section 5.6 Use of Names; Inventory.
(a) Seller is not conveying ownership rights or granting Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer a license (except as explicitly provided in Section 5.6(b) hereto) to use any of the Retained Trade Names or any trade name, trademark, service mark, logo or domain name incorporating the Retained Trade Names and, after the Closing, Buyer shall not use, or permit any Affiliate of Buyer to use, in any manner the names or marks of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller or any word that is similar in sound or appearance to such names or marks. In the event Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer violates any of its obligations under this Section 5.6, Seller may proceed against it in law or in equity for such damages or other relief as a court may deem appropriate. Buyer acknowledges that a violation of this Section 5.6 may cause Seller and its Affiliates irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages. Buyer therefore agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 5.6, Seller shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that it may have, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and final injunctive relief against Buyer or such Affiliate of Buyer to prevent any violations of this Section 5.6.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6(b) and for the duration set forth in Section 5.6(b)(i) (the “License Term”), Seller grants to Buyer a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable (except to the extent required in connection with the Third Party Agreements), revocable, royalty-free, fully-paid up license in the United States of America under the licensed marks set forth on Annex 11 (the “Licensed Marks”), solely to market, offer for sale, sell, and/or commercialize the Inventory purchased hereunder (the “License”).
(i) The License will terminate automatically, without action of any party, upon the earliest of (i) the Buyer’s sale of all Inventory purchased hereunder and (ii) twelve (12) months from the Closing Date.
(ii) In promoting and selling the Inventory, Buyer shall comply with all applicable Laws including, without limitations the FDA’s regulations and guidelines concerning the advertising and promotion of prescription drug products, promotional guidance from the FDA’s Office of Prescription Drug Promotion, the PhRMA Code on Interactions with Healthcare Providers, the Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and federal and state antikickback legal requirements, and legal requirements with respect to submission of false claims to governmental or private health care payors, which may be applicable to the promotion or sale of the Inventory. Buyer shall not do anything that may reasonably be expected to impair or diminish the value of the Licensed Marks. If either Party becomes aware of any claim or challenge to, the validity of the Licensed Marks, it shall promptly inform the other Party. Subject to Section 5.6(a), the License is personal to Buyer and may not be assigned by any act of Buyer or by operation of Law, except, in each case, with the prior written consent of Seller. Buyer agrees that Seller retains the right to use the Licensed Marks for any and all purposes.
(iii) After the Closing Date, without prejudice to the representations and warranties of Seller specifically contained in Article III, (X) Buyer shall bear sole responsibility for submitting to the FDA any promotional materials relating to the Inventory, as well as complying with all Law requirements applicable to the commercialization of the Inventory, and (Y) to the extent necessary, the parties shall take such further actions as may be reasonably required to notify the FDA, other Governmental Authorities, Product manufacturers and any third parties of the transactions effected by this Agreement, including providing notice that Buyer is the “responsible party” with respect to the Inventory and the Product following the Closing Date.
(iv) During the License Term, Seller shall refer any oral or written report concerning the possible failure of the Inventory to meet any of its specifications, such as quality, purity, quantity, weight, pharmacologic activity, labeling, identity or appearance (“Product Complaints”) that it receives concerning the Inventory to Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable. All Product Complaints shall be directed to the attention of Buyer’s customer service provider.
Section 5.7 Non-Disparagement. Each party hereby covenants and agrees that, from and after the Closing, it will not, directly or indirectly (on such party’s own behalf, or as a partner, owner, principal, stockholder, member, proprietor, agent, officer, director, manager, employee, consultant, joint venturer, investor or in any other capacity), using reasonable judgment, should have reasonably known could disparage, defame or denigrate any the other party hereto, the Products, Purchased Assets, or any of its past, present, or future agents, officers, members, partners, equity holders, managers, directors, or employees, whether to the public, the media, any individual or to any other third party. Nothing in this Section 5.7 will prohibit either party from truthfully responding to any subpoena or otherwise truthfully responding when required by applicable Law.

Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the indemnifying party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Loss. All indemnification obligations in this Agreement are conditioned upon the Indemnified Party:
16 |
(a) delivering the Claim Notice and related documents under this Section 6.4, as promptly as practicable after the date on which the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the relevant event;
(b) allowing the indemnifying party, if such party requests, to undertake, conduct, and control, through reputable independent counsel of its own choosing, the defense, appeal or settlement of any Third Party Claim that is reasonably likely to give rise to an indemnification claim under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2;
(c) cooperating with the indemnifying party in the defense of any Third Party Claim and any related settlement negotiations; and
(d) not compromising or settling any Third Party Claim without prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(a) if the aggregate of all amounts due pursuant to Section 6.1(a) does not exceed $50,000.00, provided that in case such $50,000.00 threshold is exceeded, Seller shall be liable only for the exceeding amount; and
(b) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller shall be limited to an amount equal to the Upfront Purchase Price.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations of this Section 6.5 shall not apply with respect to amounts due with respect to the breach of a Fundamental Representation, fraud, intentional misrepresentation or intentional breach.
Section 6.6 Reductions. The Parties agree that:
(a) any amount to be paid by the indemnifying Party under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance or similar payment that the Indemnified Party has actually received from any third party in connection with the event giving rise to indemnification, provided that, in each case, the relevant claim shall be increased by (i) an amount equal to the amount of any reasonable and documented third party costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in seeking the payment of such amounts and (ii) the taxes for which the Indemnified Party is liable by reason of its receipt of such amounts;

Section 6.7 Sole Remedy. After Closing, the indemnification provisions of Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Party for any Loss that the Indemnified Party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with any breach of any representation or warranty, undertaking or covenant contained in this Agreement (other than any injunctive or equitable relief allowed under other provisions of this Agreement).
Section 6.8 Right to Offset. Upon advance written notice to the indemnifying party, the Indemnified Party which is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI may offset any Loss against amounts otherwise payable to the indemnifying party or any Affiliate of such party, including without limitation, on the hand of the Buyer, any paid or payable Upfront Purchase Price or Royalty payment, and on the hand of the Seller, any amount payable to Buyer pursuant to the DSA. The exercise of such right of offset by either party hereto in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default under this Agreement or any other agreement. If after the Indemnified Party exercises such right of offset, a court having jurisdiction over the matter finally determines that such exercise of the Indemnified Party’s offset rights was not justified, the Indemnified Party shall promptly repay any portion of the offset amount that is determined belongs to the indemnifying party. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of offset will constitute an election of remedies or limit the Indemnified Party in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

EXHIBIT 10.2
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 4, 2025, is entered into by and between BioCorRx Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the “Company”) and USWM, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“USWM”).
| A. | The Company, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, BioCorRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Subsidiary”) and USWM are entering into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of March 4, 2025, whereby the Subsidiary is purchasing certain assets from USWM (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). |
|
|
|
| B. | As part of the consideration to be paid to USWM for the assets pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue to USWM (a) five hundred thousand (500,000) shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (b) a warrant to purchase five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share and expiration date on the two year anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Warrant”) in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the rules and regulations as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). |
NOW THEREFORE, the Company and USWM hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale. On the Closing Date (as defined below), the Company shall issue and sell to USWM and USWM shall purchase from the Company the (i) the Shares and (ii) the Warrant (collectively, the “Securities”).
1.1. Form of Payment. On March 4, 2025, USWM shall transfer the assets to the Subsidiary pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and (ii) on the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver, or have its transfer agent deliver, as the case may be, the Securities, to USWM, against delivery of the assets to the Subsidiary.
1.2. Closing Date. The date and time of the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) shall be on or prior to March 14, 2025, or such other mutually agreed upon time. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at such location as may be agreed to by the parties.
1.3. Business Day. The term “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close in New York, New York.
2. USWM’s Investment Representations; Governing Law; Miscellaneous.
2.1 USWM’s Investment Representations.
(a) USWM understands that the Securities are not registered under the 1933 Act, on the basis that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on USWM’s representations set forth herein. USWM realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, USWM has in mind merely acquiring shares of the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise.

About LUCEMYRA (lofexidine)
LUCEMYRA (lofexidine), an oral tablet, is a central alpha 2-adrenergic agonist that reduces the release of norepinephrine to suppress the neurochemical surge that produces opioid withdrawal. It is indicated for mitigation of opioid withdrawal symptoms to facilitate abrupt opioid discontinuation in adults. In clinical trials, LUCEMYRA reduced the severity of withdrawal symptoms compared to placebo, as reported by patients experiencing opioid withdrawal. LUCEMYRA is administered A orally for up to 14 days, with dosing guided by symptoms. LUCEMYRA should be discontinued with gradual dose reduction over two to four days. The most common adverse reactions are orthostatic hypotension, bradycardia, hypotension, dizziness, somnolence, sedation, and dry mouth.
About Opioid Withdrawal Opioids lower norepinephrine, a brain chemical that supports vital functions like respiration and consciousness. With continued opioid use, the brain establishes a new equilibrium by increasing compensatory norepinephrine production in order to maintain normal functioning. When opioids are removed, or the dose is significantly reduced, the brain's increased norepinephrine levels are no longer offset by the presence of the opioids. This results in a norepinephrine surge that produces the acute symptoms of withdrawal.

Important Safety Information
What is LUCEMYRA?
LUCEMYRA is a non-opioid prescription medicine used in adults to help with the symptoms of opioid withdrawal that may happen when you stop taking an opioid suddenly. LUCEMYRA will not completely prevent the symptoms of opioid withdrawal and is not a treatment for opioid use disorder.
Important Safety Information
LUCEMYRA can cause serious side effects, including low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and fainting. Watch for symptoms of low blood pressure or heart rate, including dizziness, lightheadedness, or feeling faint at rest or when quickly standing up; if you experience these symptoms, call your healthcare provider right away and do not take your next dose of LUCEMYRA until you have talked to your healthcare provider. Avoid becoming dehydrated or overheated and be careful not to stand up too suddenly from lying or sitting, as these may increase your risk of low blood pressure and fainting. When your treatment is complete, you will need to stop taking LUCEMYRA gradually, or your blood pressure could increase. After a period of not using opioid drugs, you can become more sensitive to the effects of opioids if you start using them again. This may increase your risk of overdose and death. Before taking LUCEMYRA, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you have low blood pressure, slow heart rate, any heart problems including history of heart attack or a condition called long QT syndrome, liver or kidney problems, or if you drink alcohol. Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, plan on becoming pregnant, or are breastfeeding; it is not known if LUCEMYRA can harm your unborn baby or whether LUCEMYRA passes into your breast milk. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take benzodiazepines, barbiturates, tranquilizers, or sleeping pills, as taking these with LUCEMYRA can cause serious side effects. The most common side effects of LUCEMYRA include low blood pressure or symptoms of low blood pressure such as lightheadedness, slow heart rate, dizziness, sleepiness, and dry mouth.
