Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

As described in greater below in Item 5.02, which information is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference, effective on May 5, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and Compensation Committee of the Board of Trxade Group, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the performance metrics which Suren Ajjarapu, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer was required to meet in order to vest 49,020 shares of restricted stock which were previously issued to Mr. Ajjarapu under and pursuant to the Company’s 2019 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) effective on April 14, 2020, in connection with the Company’s entry into an employment agreement with Mr. Ajjarapu effective on such date.

 

To the extent such amendment to the metrics constitutes an issuance of shares which were “sold or offered” (and not issued under a no-sale theory), we claim an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for such issuance, since the foregoing issuance did not involve a public offering, the recipient was (a) an “accredited investor”; and (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, the recipient acquired 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 were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuances and grants and we paid no underwriting discounts or commissions. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain/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. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Amended Employment Agreement and Restricted Stock Vesting Terms with Suren Ajjarapu, Chief Executive Officer

 

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2020, effective on April 14, 2020, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Suren Ajjarapu, our Chief Executive Officer, which replaced and superseded his prior employment agreement with the Company.

 

As partial consideration pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, we issued Mr. Ajjarapu 49,020 shares of restricted common stock (the “Restricted Stock”), which were to vest to Mr. Ajjarapu in the event the Company met certain performance metrics for the year ended December 31, 2020. On May 5, 2020, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an amendment to such performance metrics, which now provides that (1) if the Company meets a revenue goal of at least $12.5 Million for fiscal 2020, 34,314 of the shares of Restricted Stock will vest; (2) if the Company’s net operating income is 10% of total sales for fiscal 2020, 9,804 of the shares of Restricted Stock will vest; and (3) if Bonum Health achieves 7,500 app downloads during fiscal 2020, 4,902 shares of the Restricted Stock will vest (the “Amended Metrics”).

 

     
 

 

The parties also entered into a First Amendment to Employment Agreement and a new Restricted Stock Grant Agreement on May 5, 2020, to evidence and document the Amended Metrics and in the case of the First Amendment to Employment Agreement, provide for a one-time increase in the maximum performance bonus payable to Mr. Ajjarapu in 2020 (which originally had a maximum limit of $300,000, the amount of Mr. Ajjarapu’s base salary), to increase such maximum performance bonus to $360,787.20, the value of the Restricted Stock based on the Amended Metrics, on the date approved by the Board of Directors (i.e., $7.36 (the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock on May 5, 2020) x 49,020 shares), to allow for the increase in the value of the Restricted Stock between the date originally granted and the date of the adoption of the Amended Metrics.

Page 4 of 11
2019 Restricted Stock Grant Agreement

 

 

 

(b)       Relationship to the Company; Experience. Grantee either has a preexisting business or personal relationship with the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons or, by reason of Grantee’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of Grantee’s personal representative(s), if any, who are unaffiliated with and who are not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent, directly or indirectly, has the capacity to protect Grantee’s own interests in connection with Grantee’s acquisition of the Restricted Stock to be issued to Grantee hereunder. Grantee and/or Grantee’s personal representative(s) have such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters to enable Grantee and/or them to utilize the information made available to Grantee and/or them in connection with the acquisition of the Restricted Stock to evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective investment and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

 

(c)       Grantee’s Liquidity. In reaching the decision to invest in the Restricted Stock, Grantee has carefully evaluated Grantee’s financial resources and investment position and the risks associated with this investment, and Grantee acknowledges that Grantee is able to bear the economic risks of the investment. Grantee (i) has adequate means of providing for Grantee’s current needs and possible personal contingencies, (ii) has no need for liquidity in Grantee’s investment, (iii) is able to bear the substantial economic risks of an investment in the Restricted Stock for an indefinite period and (iv) at the present time, can afford a complete loss of such investment. Grantee’s commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to Grantee’s net worth and Grantee’s investment in the Restricted Stock will not cause Grantee’s overall commitment to become excessive.

 

(d)       Access to Data. Grantee acknowledges that during the course of this transaction and before deciding to acquire the Restricted Stock, Grantee has been provided with financial and other written information about the Company. Grantee has been given the opportunity by the Company to obtain any information and ask questions concerning the Company, the Restricted Stock, and Grantee’s investment that Grantee felt necessary; and to the extent Grantee availed himself/herself of that opportunity, Grantee has received satisfactory information and answers concerning the business and financial condition of the Company in response to all inquiries in respect thereof.

 

(e)       Risks. Grantee acknowledges and understands that (i) an investment in the Company constitutes a high risk, (ii) the Restricted Stock are highly speculative, and (iii) there can be no assurance as to what investment return, if any, there may be. Grantee is aware that the Company may issue additional securities in the future which could result in the dilution of Grantee’s ownership interest in the Company.

 

Page 5 of 11
2019 Restricted Stock Grant Agreement

 

 

 

(f)       Valid Agreement. This Agreement when executed and delivered by Grantee will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Grantee which is enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

(g)       Residence. The address set forth on the Notice of Restricted Stock Grant is Grantee’s current address and accurately sets forth Grantee’s place of residence.

 

(h)       Tax Consequences. Grantee has reviewed with Grantee’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Grantee is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Grantee understands that Grantee (and not the Company) is responsible for Grantee’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Grantee understands that Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), taxes as ordinary income the difference between the purchase price for the Restricted Stock and the fair market value of the Restricted Stock as of the date any restrictions on the Restricted Stock lapse. Grantee understands that Grantee may elect to be taxed at the time the Restricted Stock is purchased rather than when and as the restrictions lapse by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days from the date of purchase. The form for making this election is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

 

GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS GRANTEE’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’S TO FILE TIMELY ANY ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF GRANTEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON GRANTEE’S BEHALF.

 

7.       No Employment Contract Created. The issuance of the Restricted Stock is not to be construed as granting to Grantee any right with respect to continuance of employment or any service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate at will Grantee’s employment or terminate Grantee’s service at any time (whether by dismissal, discharge or otherwise), with or without cause, is specifically reserved, subject to any other written employment or other agreement to which the Company and Grantee may be a party.

 

8.       Tax Withholding. The Company has the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require Grantee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state and local taxes (including the Grantee’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to the grant and vesting of the Restricted Stock.

 

9.       Interpretation. The Restricted Stock are being issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan, and are to be interpreted in accordance therewith. The Board (or an authorized committee thereof) will interpret and construe this Agreement and the Plan, and any action, decision, interpretation or determination made in good faith by the Board (or an authorized committee thereof) will be final and binding on the Company and Grantee.

Upon a breach or threatened breach of the terms, covenants and/or conditions of this Agreement or the Plan by Grantee, the Company will, in addition to all other remedies, be entitled to a temporary or permanent injunction, without showing any actual damage, and/or decree for specific performance, in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof. The Board (or an authorized committee thereof) has the power to determine what constitutes a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or the Plan.
