EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Registration Statement has been updated to include the unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

This Registration Statement contains two forms of prospectuses: one to be used in connection with the initial public offering of 1,272,727 Units of our common stock (including shares of common stock which may be issued on exercise of a 45-day option granted to the underwriters to cover over-allotments, if any) through the underwriters named on the cover page of this prospectus (the “IPO Prospectus”) and one to be used in connection with the potential resale by certain selling stockholders of an aggregate amount up to 1,617,039 shares of our common stock (the “Selling Stockholder Prospectus”). The IPO Prospectus and the Selling Stockholder Prospectus will be identical in all respects except for the alternate pages for the Selling Stockholder Prospectus included herein which are labeled “Alternate Pages for Selling Stockholder Prospectus.”

 

The Selling Stockholder Prospectus is substantively identical to the IPO Prospectus, except for the following principal points:

 

  they contain different outside and inside front covers;
     
  they contain different Offering sections in the Prospectus Summary section;
     
  they contain different Use of Proceeds sections;
     
  the Capitalization section is deleted from the Selling Stockholder Prospectus;
     
  the Dilution section is deleted from the Selling Stockholder Prospectus;
     
  a Selling Stockholder section is included in the Selling Stockholder Prospectus;
     
  the Underwriting section from the IPO Prospectus is deleted from the Selling Stockholder Prospectus and a Plan of Distribution is inserted in its place; and
     
  the Legal Matters section in the Selling Stockholder Prospectus deletes the reference to counsel for the underwriters.

 

We have included in this Registration Statement, after the financial statements, a set of alternate pages to reflect the foregoing differences of the Selling Stockholder Prospectus as compared to the IPO Prospectus.

 

The sales of our common stock registered in the IPO Prospectus and the Selling Stockholder Prospectus may result in two offerings taking place concurrently, which could affect the price and liquidity of, and demand for, our common stock. This risk and other risks are included in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10 of the IPO Prospectus.

 

 
 

 

The information in this preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed. The securities may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

 

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED DECEMBER 7, 2023

 

KINDLY MD, INC.

 

 

1,272,727 Units

Each Unit Consisting of One Share of Common Stock

One Warrant to Purchase One Share of Common Stock and

One Non-tradeable Warrant to Purchase One-half of One Share of Common Stock

and the 1,909,091 Shares of Common Stock Underlying Such Warrants

 

This is the initial public offering of 1,272,727 units (each a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”) of Kindly MD, Inc. (the “Company,” “KindlyMD,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). The initial public offering price of our Units is $5.50 per Unit. Each Unit consist of one share of our common stock with no par value (“Common Stock”), one tradeable warrant (each, a “Tradeable Warrant,” collectively, the “Tradeable Warrants”) to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.33 per share, and one non-tradeable warrant to purchase one-half of one share of Common Stock (each, a “Non-tradeable Warrant,” collectively, the “Non-tradeable Warrants”; together with the Tradeable Warrants, each a “Warrant,” collectively, the “Warrants”) at an exercise price of $6.33 per share. The Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The shares of our Common Stock and the Warrants comprising the Units are immediately separable upon issuance and will be issued separately in this offering. Each Warrant offered as part of this offering is immediately exercisable upon issuance, and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

 

The Warrants will be issued in book-entry form pursuant to a warrant agency agreement (the “Warrant Agent Agreement”) between us and VStock Transfer, LLC, who will be acting as the warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”).

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock or Tradeable Warrants. In connection with this offering, we have applied to have our Common Stock and Tradeable Warrants listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “KDLY” and “KDLYW,” respectively. This offering is contingent upon final approval of our listing application with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). There can be no assurance that we will be successful in listing our Common Stock and Tradeable Warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We have not and do not intend to apply for listing of the Non-Tradeable Warrants on any exchange or market.

 

In addition, we have registered an aggregate of 1,617,039 shares of our common stock for resale by certain selling stockholders by means of the Selling Stockholder Prospectus. Sales of the shares of our common stock registered in this prospectus and the Selling Stockholder Prospectus may result in two offerings taking place concurrently which might affect price, demand, and liquidity of our common stock. 

 

Additionally, we are, and following the completion of this offering, will continue to be a “controlled company” as defined under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 5615(c), because Tim Pickett, our Chief Executive Officer and controlling stockholder will be able to exercise 49.33% of voting power of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and will be able to determine all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, immediately after the consummation of this offering. For further information see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” However, even if we are deemed as a “controlled company,” we do not intend to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Common Stock and this Offering.”

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10 of this prospectus. You should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the information contained in this prospectus, before purchasing any of the securities offered by this prospectus.

 

   Per Unit   Total 
Initial public offering price  $5.50   $7,000,000 
Underwriting discounts and commissions (1)  $0.50   $630,000 
Proceeds, before expenses, to us  $5.01   $6,370,000

See “Underwriting” on page 62 for additional information regarding total underwriting compensation.

 

In addition to the underwriting discounts listed above and the non-accountable expense allowance described in the footnote, we have agreed to issue upon the closing of this offering to the Representative, warrants that will expire on the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, entitling the Representative to purchase 6% of the number of shares of Common Stock sold in this offering (excluding shares of common stock sold to cover over-allotments, if any) (the “Representative Warrants”). The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part also covers the Representative Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof. For additional information regarding our arrangement with the underwriters, please see “Underwriting” beginning on page 62.

 

We have granted the Representative of the underwriters an option to purchase from us, at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, up to an additional 190,909 shares of Common Stock and/or 190,909 Tradeable Warrants, and 190,909 Non-Tradeable Warrants, in any combination thereof, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, within 45 days from the date of this prospectus to cover over-allotments, if any.

 

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

 

The underwriters expect to deliver the securities against payment in New York, New York on or about __________________, 2023.

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our Common Stock. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and our combined financial statements and the related notes thereto that are included elsewhere in this prospectus, before making an investment decision.

Overview

 

Kindly MD, Inc. (“We”, “Us”, “Company”, KindlyMD” or “Kindly”) is a Utah company formed in 2019. KindlyMD is a healthcare data company, focused on holistic pain management and reducing the impact of the opioid epidemic. KindlyMD offers direct health care to patients integrating prescription medicine and behavioral health services to reduce opioid use in the chronic pain patient population. Kindly believes these methods will help prevent and reduce addiction and dependency on opiates. Our specialty outpatient clinical services are offered on a subscription and fee-for-service basis to augment traditional healthcare The Company offers evaluation and management, including, but not limited to chronic pain, functional medicine, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma and addiction therapy, recovery support services, overdose education efforts, peer support, limited urgent care, preventative medicine, travel services, and hormone therapy. Through its focus on an imbedded model of prescriber and therapist teams, KindlyMD is working to develop patient-specific care programs with a specific mission to reduce opioid use in the patient population while successfully treating patients with effective and evidence based non-opioid alternatives in close conjunction with behavioral therapy.

 

Beyond its treatment of patients, KindlyMD collects data focused on why and how patients turn to alternative treatments to reduce prescription medication use and addiction. The Company captures all relevant datapoints to assist and appropriately treat each individual patient. This also results in valuable data for the Company and the Company’s investors. We strive to become a source for evidence-based guidelines, data, treatment models, and education in the fight against the opioid crisis in America.

 

Business Revenue Streams

 

We operate across various revenue streams: (i) medical evaluation and treatment visits for chronic pain and illness, (ii) subscription outpatient medicine (pain clinic medicine and behavioral therapy), (iii) data collection and research, (iv) education partnerships, (vi) online and email campaign marketing revenue, (vii) service affiliate agreements, and (viii) retail sale of dietary products.

 

Further information about our revenue streams can be found in the “Business” section on page 39.

 

Recent Developments

 

KindlyMD recently executed a four-year lease for 5,321 square feet of clinic and office space in Murray Utah. This expansion complements our existing clinic location in Millcreek, Utah and offers eight more exam and consultation rooms to our local clinical capacity. It also allowed KindlyMD to consolidate two smaller locations into one larger location, which will improve the cost-per-patient-visit ratio. We anticipate this expansion to increase revenue opportunity once insurance credentialing and contracting has been completed. We are currently in the early stages of this process with expectations of completion in late 2023. This additional space allowed us to include medication management and embedded behavioral health services for patients.

 

Market Opportunity

 

In the Utah market alone, KindlyMD has a unique opportunity for growth based on service line expansion into pain medicine management and hormone therapy. Demand for both opioid and non-opioid pain treatment continues to increase due to the growing geriatric population, safe and effective access to non-opioid drugs, and increased prevalence of diagnoses such as osteoarthritis and migraines. Rising demand for surgeries, increasing awareness, availability of treatment options, and the willingness to seek treatment are expected to complement the growth of the population of patients seeking treatment for pain and/or chronic pain medication use. KindlyMD, already a large market share player in the Utah non-opioid treatment space, hopes to expand its reach with the inclusion of opioid medication management and behavioral therapy services.

Furthermore, the behavioral therapy industry is slated to grow with the integration of addiction and trauma based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and inclusion of Ketamine and other infusion-based treatment options. Integration of these therapies with traditional pain management will provide a source of revenue as well as behavioral data and clinical research to develop valuable treatment programs, products, and further enhance legislative lobbying efforts toward wider acceptance of safe and effective non-opioid alternative therapies.

 

Growth Strategy

 

KindlyMD is leveraging healthcare standards and infrastructure to build a multi-state network of in-person clinics, telemedicine resources, and wholly owned subsidiaries in the outpatient medical space. Our expansion approach considers metrics such as prescribing laws and regulations, rates of opioid prescriptions, inclusion of behavioral therapy outcomes, non-opioid alternative medicine access, including medical cannabis, and existing specialty clinic operations in each market.

 

Offering outpatient clinical services with integrated behavioral health will be our central focus as we continue to expand into new Utah-based locations. KindlyMD may also expand upon its existing service lines. We are in the early stages of development. The Company has not taken concrete steps to expand into additional markets, nor have we identified any additional clinic locations or acquisitions or entered into any agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions or investments either in Utah or elsewhere.

 

KindlyMD will continue to leverage its growth potential as a leader in specialized data collection and healthcare in the opioid and alternative medicine space. We have not identified specific acquisition targets to disclose as of this offering. We intend to research and negotiate acquisitions as much as we are able. We will seek out specialty clinics focused on opioid or non-opioid evaluation and management of pain and other chronic illnesses. Clinics with large patient numbers that are and are not involved  in state legal medical cannabis programs, where patients are not able to receive behavioral healthcare, addiction services, or prescription management and education. These programs will be evaluated by a small team led by the CEO, COO, and consultant evaluators in order to acquire them as wholly-owned subsidiaries or integrated healthcare clinics.

 

KindlyMD collects valuable data from interactions with people online, via telecommunication, in-person patient interactions, and through our products. Clients provide some of this data directly, as do clinicians, and staff by collecting data about interactions, product and medication use, experiences, and behavior. In collecting data from these interactions, we collect and collate data from different contexts and third parties to provide a more seamless, consistent, and uniquely personalized experience, to make informed business decisions, to make clinical decisions, and for other legitimate business purposes. We intend to further use and analyze such data to allow us to become a large and specialized healthcare data company working to reduce opioid use, track product use and sales data, which will be highly valuable to the healthcare industry, the alternative medicine industry, and the pharmaceutical industry.

 

Competitive Strengths

 

KindlyMD is one of the largest providers of medical evaluation and management services related to treatment recommendations within the medical cannabis program in Utah. We treat over 14,800 active patients, which represents 21% of the total Utah medical cannabis patient population as of this filing. We operate with normative traditional medical standards and practices and set a high standard of care. Kindly MD has strong year over year revenue growth to-date, including during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our leadership team is highly skilled in healthcare technology, customer service, patient care, and high-touch interactions. We value a culture of service to the patient above all.

 

Our model of healthcare is unique, blending prescribers and licensed behavioral health clinicians into every patient care plan while leveraging non-opioid alternative medicine where indicated. Although there are several large healthcare networks using an integrated behavioral health medical model in low-income and high-risk population care, we know of no other large clinic in Utah or the US which uses this integration model combined with a willingness to incorporate non-traditional medicine. We are also one of a limited number of specialty providers who allow patients to utilize non-opioid alternative medications, such as medical cannabis, concomitantly with opioids with medical supervision by a licensed integration team.

 

Our competition, respectively, are traditional medication pain clinics as well as other non-opioid specialty alternative medicine clinics in Utah.

Risk Factors Summary

 

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk because our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, as more fully described in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully consider these risks before making an investment. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract or retain talented personnel.
   
The lack of available and cost-effective directors and officer’s insurance coverage in our industry may cause us to be unable to attract and retain qualified executives, and this may result in our inability to further develop our business.
   
Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive.
   
Laws and regulations affecting the medical marijuana industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our operation.
   
If we expand into other states, we will have to ensure compliance with all of the regulations of those states, which may be different from the laws in the State of Utah.
   
There can be no assurance that our current and future strategic alliances or expansions of scope of existing relationships will have a beneficial impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
   
Our use, disclosure, and other processing of personal information, including health information, is subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and other federal, state, and foreign data privacy and security laws and regulations, and our failure to comply with those laws and regulations or to appropriately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm and, in turn, a material adverse effect on our client base, customer base and revenue.
   
Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by downturns in the target markets that we serve or reduced demand for the types of services we offer.
   
Changes within the cannabis industry or the opioid industry may adversely affect our financial performance.
   
The Company’s industry is highly competitive, and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors which may give them an advantage in marketing services similar to ours or make our services obsolete.
   
We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in the industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect our business.
   
We may need additional capital that will dilute the ownership interest of investors.
   
We will be controlled by our existing majority shareholder.
   
Holders of the Warrants will have no rights as a holder of our Common Stock until they acquire our Common Stock.
   
Unless the Company becomes public and an active trading market develops for our securities, investors may not be able to sell their shares.
   
Costs and expenses of being a reporting company under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act may be burdensome and prevent us from achieving profitability.

 

The risks summarized above or described in full below are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future growth prospects.

 

Corporate Information

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 5097 S 900 E, Suite 100 Salt Lake City, UT 84117. Our telephone number is (385) 388-8220. Our corporate website address is located at www.kindlymd.com. The information contained in, or accessible from, our website or any other website does not constitute a part of this prospectus.

 

Regulatory Landscape

 

Utah law requires that licensed medical providers who wish to recommend medical cannabis be licensed and registered with the Utah Department of Health every two years. Under the Utah Office of Health and Human Services, Center for Medical Cannabis, Rule R383-4 our providers to have an additional four hours of medical education than other providers and register with the state. Furthermore, any services offered to patients that are billed through health insurance payers require said providers to apply and contract with each insurance payer. The Company has not contracted with all payers and there is no guarantee that all payers will contract with the company, or its providers.

 

Laws and regulations affecting the medical marijuana industry are constantly changing, which could affect our operation. Local, state, and federal medical marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter certain aspects of our business plan. In Utah, the Company complies with the Utah Medical Cannabis Act 26B-4-2, the Utah Controlled Substances Act 58-37 and under the rules established by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, Center for Medical Cannabis. Our licensed providers are governed by the Utah Division of Professional licensing under the DOPL Licensing Act, 58-1. Federally, licensed medical providers are registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to prescribe scheduled medications in Utah.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, during 2020 and 2021, the Company established policies and protocols to address safety considerations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to affect the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, and the Company’s operating results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. It will depend on various factors including the duration and severity of the outbreak, the severity, or variants of COVID-19, including the omicron variant and its subvariants, and the effectiveness, acceptance, and availability of vaccines in countries throughout the world, and new information which may emerge concerning the appropriate responses if and to the extent that the availability of vaccines reduces restrictions imposed during the pandemic.

 

Inflation Risk

 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

 

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are eligible for exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies, including, but not limited to:

 

  Reduced disclosure obligations (e.g., matters regarding executive compensation) in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and
     
  Not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”).

 

We will remain a smaller reporting company until the end of the fiscal year in which (i) we have a public common equity float of more than $250 million, or (ii) we have annual revenues for the most recently completed fiscal year of more than $100 million plus we have a public common equity float or public float of more than $700 million. We also would not be eligible for status as smaller reporting company if we become an investment company, an asset-backed issuer or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company.

 

We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our shareholders may be different from what you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

 

Uncertainty of Profitability

 

The Company has posted a net loss of $1,292,533 and has an accumulated deficit of $3,833,126 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2023. This history and our business strategy may result in meaningful volatility of revenues, losses and/or earnings. As we will only develop a limited number of business efforts, services and products at a time, our overall success will depend on a limited number of business initiatives, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on the products and/or services offered and their market acceptance.

 

Our revenues and our profitability may be adversely affected by economic conditions and changes in the market for our products and/or services. Our business is also subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition.

 

We may not be able to continue our business as a going concern.

 

Because of the anticipated nature of the services that we offer and attempt to develop, it is difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results and these items could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include, among other things, the following:

 

  Our ability to raise sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities and generate sufficient revenues to cover expenses.
     
  Our ability to source strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns.
     
  Our ability to manage our capital and liquidity requirements based on changing market conditions.
     
  The amount and timing of operating and other costs and expenses.
     
  The nature and extent of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks that are described in this section You should also read the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 25 of this prospectus. Additional risks not presently known or that we currently deem immaterial could also materially and adversely affect us. You should consult your own financial and legal advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in our securities and the suitability of investing in our securities in light of your particular circumstances. If any of the risks contained in this prospectus develop into actual events, our assets, business, cash flows, condition (financial or otherwise), credit quality, financial performance, liquidity, long-term performance goals, prospects, and/or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. Some statements in this prospectus, including such statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements.

 

The Company operates in an environment that involves many risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that presently are not considered material or are not known to us, and therefore are not mentioned herein, may impair our business operations. If any of the risks described actually occur, our business, operating results, financial position, and value of our securities could be adversely affected.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic may have unexpected effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and governmental authorities around the world have implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures have adversely affected workforces, customers, supply chains, consumer sentiment, economies, and financial markets, and, along with decreased consumer spending, have led to an economic downturn across many global economies.

 

Numerous state and local jurisdictions have imposed, and others in the future may impose, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, shut-downs of non-essential businesses, and similar government orders and restrictions on their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Such orders or restrictions have resulted in temporary facility closures (including certain of our third-party VRCs), work stoppages, slowdowns and travel restrictions, among other effects, thereby adversely impacting our operations. In addition, we expect to be impacted by a downturn in the United States economy, which could have an adverse impact on discretionary consumer spending and may have a significant impact on our business operations and/or our ability to generate revenues and profits.

 

In response to the COVID-19 disruptions, we have implemented a number of measures designed to protect the health and safety of our staff and contractors. These measures include restrictions on non-essential business travel, the institution of work-from-home policies wherever feasible and the implementation of strategies for workplace safety at our facilities that remain open. We are following the guidance from public health officials and government agencies, including implementation of enhanced cleaning measures, social distancing guidelines and wearing of masks.

 

The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Additionally, while the extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our operations will depend on a number of factors, many of which will be outside of our control. The COVID-19 outbreak is evolving and new information emerges daily; accordingly, the ultimate consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

10

 

 

In addition to the COVID-19 disruptions possibility adversely impacting our business and financial results, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in “Risk Factors,” including risks relating to changes due to our limited operating history; our ability to generate sufficient revenue, to generate positive cash flow; our relationships with third parties, and many other factors. We will endeavor to minimize these impacts, but there can be no assurance relative to the potential impacts that may be incurred.

 

Uncertainty of profitability.

 

Our business strategy may result in meaningful volatility of revenues, losses and/or earnings. As we will only develop a limited number of business efforts, services and products at a time, our overall success will depend on a limited number of business initiatives, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on the products and/or services offered and their market acceptance.

 

Our revenues and our profitability may be adversely affected by economic conditions and changes in the market for our products and/or services. Our business is also subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition.

 

We may not be able to continue our business as a going concern.

 

Management plans to raise additional capital through the sale of shares of Common Stock to pursue business development activities, but there are no assurances of success relative to the efforts.

 

Because of the anticipated nature of the services that we offer and attempt to develop, it is difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results and these items could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include, among other things, the following:

 

Our ability to raise sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities and generate sufficient revenues to cover expenses.
     
Our ability to source strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns.
     
Our ability to manage our capital and liquidity requirements based on changing market conditions.
     
The amount and timing of operating and other costs and expenses.
     
The nature and extent of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations.

 

Our business may suffer if we are unable to attract or retain talented personnel.

 

Our success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity, and good faith of Management, as well as other personnel. We have a small management team, and the loss of a key individual or our inability to attract suitably qualified replacements or additional staff could adversely affect our business. Our success also depends on the ability of Management to form and maintain key commercial relationships within the marketplace. No assurance can be given that key personnel will continue their association or employment with us or that replacement personnel with comparable skills will be found. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel and additional employees, our business may be adversely affected. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our executive employees.

 

Although we have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, and do not believe our Chief Executive Officer is planning to leave or retire in the near term, we cannot assure you that he will remain with us. The loss or limitation of the services of any of our executives or members of our senior management team, or the inability to attract additional qualified management personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or independent associate relations.

 

11

 

 

The lack of available and cost-effective directors and officer’s insurance coverage in our industry may cause us to be unable to attract and retain qualified executives, and this may result in our inability to further develop our business.

 

Our business depends on attracting independent directors, executives, and senior management to advance our business plans. We currently do not have directors and officer’s insurance to protect our directors, officers, and the company against the possible third-party claims. This is due to the significant lack of availability of such policies in the cannabis industry at reasonably competitive prices. As a result, the Company and our executive directors and officers are susceptible to liability claims arising by third parties, and as a result, we may be unable to attract and retain qualified independent directors and executive management causing the development of our business plans to be impeded as a result.

 

Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive.

 

Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we will need to hire skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals. We have no definitive plan for expansion into other states at this time.

 

The failure to enforce and maintain our intellectual property rights could adversely affect the value of the Company.

 

The success of our business will partially depend on our ability to protect our intellectual property. As of the date hereof, we do not own any federally registered patents or trademarks. The unauthorized use of our intellectual property could diminish the value of our business, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

 

Laws and regulations affecting the medical marijuana industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our operation.

 

Local, state, and federal medical marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter certain aspects of our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt certain aspects of our business plan and result in a material adverse effect on certain aspects of our planned operations. In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to certain aspects of our businesses. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.

 

Our operations, although compliant with Utah state law, are still subject to U.S. federal law which classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance. There is always a risk of federal enforcement action, and non-compliance could lead to significant legal penalties, including but not limited to fines, imprisonment, seizure of assets, and prohibition of business operations.

 

Our business operations in the medical marijuana industry expose us to specific risks. The conflict between federal and state laws regarding marijuana creates a complex legal environment, where compliance with state law does not exempt us from federal prosecution. Federal enforcement could disrupt our operations and expose us to substantial legal risk. The ongoing evolution of regulations and their enforcement adds a layer of uncertainty to our business.

 

The Cannabis industry also faces societal perceptions and stigma which can impact our market. Changes in laws, regulations, or societal perceptions can affect market conditions and the demand for our products and services.

 

If we expand into other states, we will have to ensure compliance with all of the regulations of those states, which may be different from the laws in the State of Utah.

 

We have no definitive plans to expand into other states. However, if we do choose to expand our operations to other states in the future, we will have to ensure full compliance with the laws of those states, which will necessitate significant investments in legal, operational, and administrative resources. Each expansion will come with its own set of unique challenges and potential risks, necessitating a thorough analysis of the specific state regulatory environments. Our business operations and expansion plans are in line with the current interpretation of the regulations in place. However, a change in regulatory interpretation, enforcement or law could adversely affect our operations. Consequently, the risks inherent in the cannabis industry and our business necessitate careful consideration by potential investors.

 

If we incur substantial liability from litigation, complaints, or enforcement actions, our financial condition could suffer.

 

Our participation in the medical marijuana industry may lead to litigation, formal or informal complaints, enforcement actions, and inquiries by various federal, state, or local governmental authorities against us. Litigation, complaints, and enforcement actions could consume considerable amounts of financial and other corporate resources, which could have a negative impact on our sales, revenue, profitability, and growth prospects.

 

There can be no assurance that our current and future strategic alliances or expansions of scope of existing relationships will have a beneficial impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may enter into strategic alliances and partnerships with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our existing business. Our ability to complete strategic alliances is dependent upon, and may be limited by, the availability of suitable candidates and capital. In addition, strategic alliances could present unforeseen integration obstacles or costs, may not enhance our business and may involve risks that could adversely affect us, including significant amounts of management time that may be diverted from operations in order to pursue and complete such transactions or maintain such strategic alliances. Future strategic alliances could result in the incurrence of additional debt, costs and contingent liabilities, and there can be no assurance that future strategic alliances will achieve, or that our existing strategic alliances will continue to achieve, the expected benefits to our business or that we will be able to consummate future strategic alliances on satisfactory terms, if at all. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

12

 

 

We may face unfavorable publicity or consumer perception.

 

Management believes the pain management, cannabis, and alternative medicine industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of the treatment offered and outcomes produced. Consumer perception of our services may be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding opioids, cannabis, as well as alternative medicine services. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favorable to the prescription medicine, behavioral therapy industry, cannabis, or alternative medicine market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that is perceived as less favorable than, or questions earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our services. Our dependence upon consumer perceptions means that such adverse reports, whether or not accurate or with merit, could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of treatments in general, or our services specifically, or associating the consumption of prescription or non-prescription medications, cannabis, or any other products with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect.

 

We are subject to general economic risks.

 

Our operations could be affected by the economic context should the unemployment level, interest rates or inflation reach levels that influence consumer trends and spending and, consequently, impact our sales and profitability.

 

Provisions in our governing documents and Utah law may have an anti-takeover effect, and there are substitutional regulatory limitations on changes of control of bank holding companies.

 

Our corporate organizational documents and provisions of federal and state law to which we are subject contain certain provisions that could have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, make more difficult or prevent an attempted acquisition that you may favor or an attempted replacement of our board of directors or management.

 

Our brand is integral to our success. If we fail to effectively maintain, promote, and enhance our brand in a cost-effective manner, our business and competitive advantage may be harmed.

 

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand recognition is critical to our relationships with existing customers, providers, and strategic partners, and to our ability to attract new customers, providers, and strategic partners. The promotion of our brand may require us to make substantial investments, and we anticipate that, given the highly competitive nature of our market, these marketing initiatives may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Brand promotion and marketing activities may not be successful or yield increased revenue, and to the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, the increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur and our results of operations could be harmed. In addition, any factor that diminishes our reputation or that of our management, including failing to meet the expectations of our customers, the providers, or partners, could harm our reputation and brand and make it substantially more difficult for us to attract new customers, providers, and partners. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our reputation and brand recognition in a cost-effective manner, our business may not grow and we could lose our relationships with customers, providers, and partners, which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The market for our model and services is new, rapidly evolving, and increasingly competitive, as the healthcare industry in the United States is undergoing significant structural change and consolidation, which makes it difficult to forecast demand for our solutions.

 

The market for our model is new, rapidly evolving and increasingly competitive. We are expanding our business by offering technology-driven access to consultation and treatment options for new conditions, including telehealth options, but it is uncertain whether our offerings will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market adoption. Our future financial performance depends in part on growth in this market, our ability to market effectively and in a cost-efficient manner, and our ability to adapt to emerging demands of existing and potential customers and the evolving regulatory landscape. It is difficult to predict the future growth rate and size of our target market. Negative publicity concerning telehealth generally, our offerings, customer success on our platform, or our market as a whole could limit market acceptance of our business model and services. If our customers do not perceive the benefits of our offerings, or if our offerings do not drive customer use and enrollment, then our market and our customer base may not continue to develop, or they may develop more slowly than we expect. Negative publicity regarding customer confidentiality and privacy in the context of telehealth could limit market acceptance of our business model and services.

 

The healthcare industry in the United States is continually undergoing or threatened with significant structural change and is rapidly evolving. We believe demand for our offerings has been driven in part by rapidly growing costs in the traditional healthcare system, difficulties accessing the healthcare system, patient stigma associated with sensitive medical conditions, the movement toward patient-centricity and personalized healthcare, advances in technology, and general movement to telehealth accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Widespread acceptance of personalized healthcare enabled by technology is critical to our future growth and success. A reduction in the growth of technology-enabled personalized healthcare could reduce the demand for our services and result in a lower revenue growth rate or decreased revenue.

 

Additionally, if healthcare or healthcare benefits trends shift or entirely new technologies are developed that replace existing offerings, our existing or future services could be rendered obsolete and require that we materially change our technology or business model. If we are unable to do so, our business could be adversely affected. In addition, we may experience difficulties with software development, industry standards, design or marketing that could delay or prevent our development, introduction, or implementation of new options on our platform and any enhancements thereto. Any such difficulties may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Competitive platforms or other technological breakthroughs for the monitoring, management, treatment, or prevention of medical conditions may adversely affect demand for our offerings.

 

Our ability to achieve our strategic objectives will depend, among other things, on our ability to enable fast and efficient telehealth consultations and maintain comprehensive and affordable offerings. Our competitors, as well as a number of other companies and providers, within and outside the healthcare industry, are pursuing new devices, delivery technologies, sensing technologies, procedures, treatments, drugs, and other therapies for the monitoring and treatment of medical conditions. Any technological breakthroughs in monitoring, treatment, or prevention of medical conditions that we could not similarly leverage could reduce the potential market for our offerings, which could significantly reduce our revenue and our potential to grow certain aspects of our business.

 

14

 

 

We operate in highly competitive markets and face competition from large, well-established healthcare providers, traditional retailers, pharmaceutical providers, and technology companies with significant resources, and, as a result, we may not be able to compete effectively.

 

The markets for healthcare and technology are intensely competitive, subject to rapid change, and significantly affected by new product and technological introductions and other market activities of industry participants. We compete directly not only with other established telehealth providers but also traditional healthcare providers, pharmacies and technology companies entering into the health and wellness industry. Our current competitors include traditional healthcare providers expanding into the telehealth market, incumbent telehealth providers, as well as new entrants into our market that are focused on direct-to-consumer healthcare or healthcare technology. Our competitors further include enterprise-focused companies that may enter the direct-to-consumer healthcare industry, as well as direct-to-consumer healthcare providers and technology companies.

 

New competitors or alliances may emerge that have greater market share, a larger customer base, more widely adopted proprietary technologies, greater marketing expertise, and greater financial resources, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage. For example, some state and federal regulatory authorities lowered certain barriers to the practice of telehealth in order to make remote healthcare services more accessible in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it is unclear whether these regulatory changes will be permanent or that they will have a long-term impact on the adoption of telehealth services by the general public or legislative and regulatory authorities, these changes may result in greater competition for our business. The lower barriers to entry may allow various new competitors to enter the market more quickly and cost effectively than before the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Additionally, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced many new users to telehealth and further reinforced its benefits to potential competitors. We believe this may drive additional industry consolidation or cooperative relationships that may result in competitors with greater resources and access to potential customers. For example, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic may have caused various traditional healthcare providers to evaluate, and in some cases, pursue telehealth options that can be paired with their in-person capabilities. These industry changes could better position our competitors to serve certain segments of our current or future markets, which could create additional price pressure. In light of these factors, even if our offerings are more effective than those of our competitors, current or potential customers may accept competitive solutions in lieu of purchasing from us.

 

Our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to distinguish our company and our offerings from our competitors and their products, and includes factors such as:

 

accessibility, ease of use and convenience;
price and affordability;
personalization;
brand recognition;
long-term outcomes;
breadth and efficacy of offerings;
market penetration;
marketing resources and effectiveness;
partnerships and alliances;
relationships with providers, suppliers and partners; and
regulatory compliance recourses.

 

If we are unable to successfully compete with existing and potential competitors, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Risks Of Government Action And Regulatory Uncertainty

 

Our use, disclosure, and other processing of personal information, including health information, is subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and other federal, state, and foreign data privacy and security laws and regulations, and our failure to comply with those laws and regulations or to appropriately secure the information we hold could result in significant liability or reputational harm and, in turn, a material adverse effect on our client base, customer base and revenue.

 

In the course of offering personalized health and wellness recommendations, we collect a substantial amount of personalized health information. Numerous state and federal laws and regulations govern the collection, dissemination, use, privacy, confidentiality, security, availability, integrity and other processing of protected health information (PHI), and other types of personal information. For example, HIPAA establishes a set of national privacy and security standards for the protection PHI by health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and certain healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom such covered entities contract for services, as well as their covered subcontractors. When we act in the capacity of a business associate under HIPAA, we execute business associate agreements with our clients.

 

HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates, such as us, to develop and maintain policies and procedures with respect to PHI that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information.

 

Violations of HIPAA may result in significant civil and criminal penalties. HIPAA also authorizes state attorneys general to file suit on behalf of their residents. Courts may award damages, costs and attorneys’ fees related to violations of HIPAA in such cases. While HIPAA does not create a private right of action allowing individuals to sue us in civil court for violations of HIPAA, its standards have been used as the basis for duty of care in state civil suits such as those for negligence or recklessness in the misuse or breach of duties related to PHI.

 

In addition, HIPAA mandates that the Secretary of HHS conduct periodic compliance audits of HIPAA covered entities and business associates for compliance with the HIPAA privacy and security rules.

 

HIPAA further requires that patients be notified of any unauthorized acquisition, access, use or disclosure of their unsecured PHI that compromises the privacy or security of such information, with certain exceptions related to unintentional or inadvertent use or disclosure by employees or authorized individuals. HIPAA requires such notifications to be made “without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 calendar days after discovery of the breach.” If a breach affects 500 patients or more, it must be reported to HHS without unreasonable delay, and HHS will post the name of the breaching entity on its public web site. Breaches affecting 500 patients or more in the same state or jurisdiction must also be reported to the local media. If a breach involves fewer than 500 people, the covered entity must record it in a log and notify HHS at least annually.

 

In addition to HIPAA, numerous other federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations protect the confidentiality, privacy, availability, integrity and security of health-related and other personal information. These laws and regulations in many cases are more restrictive than, and may not be preempted by, HIPAA and its implementing rules. These laws and regulations are often uncertain, contradictory, and subject to changed or differing interpretations, and we expect new laws, rules and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and to be proposed and enacted in the future. Further, many state attorneys general are interpreting existing federal and state consumer protection laws to impose evolving standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of health-related and other personal information. Courts may also adopt the standards for fair information practices promulgated by the FTC, which concern consumer notice, choice, security and access. Consumer protection laws require us to publish statements that describe how we handle personal information and choices individuals may have about the way we handle their personal information. If such information that we publish is considered untrue, we may be subject to government claims of unfair or deceptive trade practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences. Furthermore, according to the FTC, violating consumers’ privacy rights or failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal information secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the FTC Act.

 

16

 

 

We may become subject to the Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark Law, False Claims Act, Civil Monetary Penalties Law and may be subject to analogous provisions of applicable state laws and could face substantial penalties if we fail to comply with such laws.

 

There are several federal laws addressing fraud and abuse that apply to businesses that receive reimbursement from a federal health care program. There are also a number of similar state laws covering fraud and abuse with respect to, for example, private payors, self-pay and insurance. Currently, we receive a substantial percentage of our revenue from private payors and from Medicare. Accordingly, our business is subject to federal fraud and abuse laws, such as the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, the False Claims Act, the Civil Monetary Penalties Law and other similar laws. Moreover, we are already subject to similar state laws. We believe we have operated, and intend to continue to operate, our business in compliance with these laws. However, these laws are subject to modification and changes in interpretation and are enforced by authorities vested with broad discretion. Federal and state enforcement entities have significantly increased their scrutiny of healthcare companies and providers which has led to investigations, prosecutions, convictions and large settlements. We continually monitor developments in this area. If these laws are interpreted in a manner contrary to our interpretation or are reinterpreted or amended, or if new legislation is enacted with respect to healthcare fraud and abuse, illegal remuneration, or similar issues, we may be required to restructure our affected operations to maintain compliance with applicable law. There can be no assurances that any such restructuring will be possible or, if possible, would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

 

Anti-Kickback Statute

 

A federal law commonly referred to as the “Anti-Kickback Statute” prohibits the knowing and willful offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of remuneration, directly or indirectly, in return for the referral of patients or arranging for the referral of patients, or in return for the recommendation, arrangement, purchase, lease or order of items or services that are covered, in whole or in part, by a federal healthcare program such as Medicare or Medicaid. The term “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value such as gifts, discounts, rebates, waiver of payments or providing anything at less than its fair market value. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or the PPACA, amended the intent requirement of the Anti-Kickback Statute such that a person or entity can be found guilty of violating the statute without actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate the statute. Further, the PPACA now provides that claims submitted in violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitute false or fraudulent claims for purposes of the federal False Claims Act, or FCA, including the failure to timely return an overpayment. Many states have adopted similar prohibitions against kickbacks and other practices that are intended to influence the purchase, lease or ordering of healthcare items and services reimbursed by a governmental health program or state Medicaid program. Some of these state prohibitions apply to remuneration for referrals of healthcare items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including commercial payors and self-pay patients.

 

Stark Law

 

Section 1877 of the Social Security Act, or the Stark Law, prohibits a physician from referring a patient to an entity for certain “designated health services” reimbursable by Medicare if the physician (or close family members) has a financial relationship with that entity, including an ownership or investment interest, a loan or debt relationship or a compensation relationship, unless an exception to the Stark Law is fully satisfied. The designated health services covered by the law include, among others, laboratory and imaging services. Some states have self-referral laws similar to the Stark Law for Medicaid claims and commercial claims.

 

Violation of the Stark Law may result in prohibition of payment for services rendered, a refund of any Medicare payments for services that resulted from an unlawful referral, $15,000 civil monetary penalties for specified infractions, criminal penalties, and potential exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, and potential false claims liability. The repayment provisions in the Stark Law are not dependent on the parties having an improper intent; rather, the Stark Law is a strict liability statute and any violation is subject to repayment of all amounts arising out of tainted referrals. If physician self-referral laws are interpreted differently or if other legislative restrictions are issued, we could incur significant sanctions and loss of revenues, or we could have to change our arrangements and operations in a way that could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, damage to our reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

 

17

 

 

False Claims Act

 

The FCA prohibits providers from, among other things, (1) knowingly presenting or causing to be presented, claims for payments from the Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs that are false or fraudulent; (2) knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used, a false record or statement to get a false or fraudulent claim paid or approved by the federal government; or (3) knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used, a false record or statement to avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government. The “qui tam” or “whistleblower” provisions of the FCA allow private individuals to bring actions under the FCA on behalf of the government. These private parties are entitled to share in any amounts recovered by the government, and, as a result, the number of “whistleblower” lawsuits that have been filed against providers has increased significantly in recent years. Defendants found to be liable under the FCA may be required to pay three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus civil penalties ranging between $5,500 and $11,000 for each separate false claim.

 

There are many potential bases for liability under the FCA. The government has used the FCA to prosecute Medicare and other government healthcare program fraud such as coding errors, billing for services not provided, and providing care that is not medically necessary or that is substandard in quality. The PPACA also provides that claims submitted in connection with patient referrals that result from violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitute false claims for the purpose of the FCA, and some courts have held that a violation of the Stark law can result in FCA liability, as well. In addition, a number of states have adopted their own false claims and whistleblower provisions whereby a private party may file a civil lawsuit in state court. We are required to provide information to our employees and certain contractors about state and federal false claims laws and whistleblower provisions and protections.

 

Civil Monetary Penalties Law

 

The Civil Monetary Penalties Law prohibits, among other things, the offering or giving of remuneration to a Medicare or Medicaid beneficiary that the person or entity knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s selection of a particular provider or supplier of items or services reimbursable by a federal or state healthcare program. This broad provision applies to many kinds of inducements or benefits provided to patients, including complimentary items, services or transportation that are of more than a nominal value. This law could affect how we have to structure our operations and activities.

 

RISK ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INDUSTRY

 

Our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by downturns in the target markets that we serve or reduced demand for the types of services we offer.

 

Demand for our services is often affected by general economic conditions as well as trends in our target markets. These changes may result in decreased demand for our services. The occurrence of these conditions is beyond our ability to control and, when they occur, they may have a significant impact on our results of operations. The inability or unwillingness of our customers to pay a premium for our services due to general economic conditions or a downturn in the economy may have a significant adverse impact on results of operations.

 

The market for prescription digital therapeutics is new, rapidly evolving, and increasingly competitive, the healthcare industry in the U.S. is undergoing significant structural change, and the demand for prescription digital therapeutics in markets outside of the U.S. is uncertain, which makes it difficult to forecast demand for our products. As a result, all prospective financial information included herein are subject to change.\

 

The market for our medical evaluation and management services is new and rapidly evolving, and it is uncertain whether it will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market adoption. Our future financial performance will depend on growth in this market and on our ability to adapt to emerging demands of our customers. It is difficult to predict the future growth rate and size of our target market.

 

The healthcare industry in the U.S. is undergoing significant structural change and is rapidly evolving. We believe demand for our products and services has been driven in large part by rapidly growing costs in the traditional healthcare system, the movement toward patient-centricity and personalized healthcare, and advances in technology. Widespread acceptance of personalized healthcare is critical to our future growth and success. A reduction in the growth of personalized healthcare could reduce the demand for our medical evaluation and management services and result in a lower revenue growth rate or decreased revenue.

 

If our assumptions regarding these uncertainties are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our markets, or if we do not manage or address these risks successfully, our results of operations could differ materially from our expectations, and our business could suffer.

 

Changes within the cannabis industry or the healthcare industry may adversely affect our financial performance.

 

Pain clinics operate in a highly regulated industry. Changes in federal, state, or local laws and regulations can significantly affect our operations and profitability. In particular, changes in healthcare laws, policies, and regulations, including those related to insurance and Medicare/Medicaid reimbursements, may impact our revenue. Our financial health is linked to coverage of Medicare and Medicaid to cover outpatient management services, including pain management services. Reimbursement rates, or a decision by a significant number of insurers to terminate their agreements with us could adversely affect our business. The ongoing opioid crisis has led to an increased scrutiny of pain management clinics, including ours. Any perceived mismanagement of opioid prescriptions could lead to severe legal and reputational ramifications.

 

Like pain clinics, the cannabis industry is highly regulated, and laws can vary greatly between jurisdictions. A change in federal laws, state laws, or local ordinances could significantly impact our operations. Despite increased acceptance, cannabis usage is still stigmatized in many parts of society. Negative perceptions or stigmatization could affect the demand for our services and impact our reputation. Supply chain regulation and changes could impact our ability to provide consistent products and services to our clients.

 

Further, changes in research findings, particularly those that reflect negatively on cannabis, could impact consumer demand for our products and services.  

 

Failure in the Company’s information technology systems or delays or failures in the development and implementation of updates or enhancements to those systems could significantly delay billing and otherwise disrupt the Company’s operations or patient relationships.

 

Our business and patient relationships depend, in part, on the continued performance of its information technology systems. Despite network security measures and other precautions, our information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses and similar disruptions. Sustained system failures or interruption of our systems in one or more of its operations could disrupt our ability to conduct our business. Breaches with respect to protected health information could result in violations of HIPAA and analogous state laws, and risk the imposition of significant fines and penalties. Failure of our information technology systems could adversely affect our business, profitability and financial condition.

 

Medical malpractice lawsuits can be costly and damaging to our practice and reputation.

 

The risk of malpractice suits is significant in the medical profession. A rise in malpractice suits, or changes in laws related to malpractice, can increase our insurance costs and potentially lead to significant financial payouts.

 

The Company’s industry is highly competitive, and we have less capital and resources than many of our competitors which may give them an advantage in marketing services similar to ours or make our services obsolete.

 

Changes in the identity, ownership structure and strategic goals of our competitors and the emergence of new competitors in our target markets may harm our financial performance.

 

We are involved in a highly competitive industry where we may compete with numerous other companies who offer alternative methods or approaches, who may have far greater resources, more experience, and personnel perhaps more qualified than we do. Such resources may give our competitors an advantage in developing and marketing services similar to ours or services that make our services less desirable to consumers or obsolete. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these other entities. Furthermore, the outpatient healthcare industry is evolving rapidly with new technologies and treatments. If we fail to adapt or adopt these changes, our services may become obsolete, impacting our competitiveness and financial performance.

 

18

 

 

We may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in the industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect our business.

 

Rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards characterize our market. Intense competition in our industry exacerbates these market characteristics. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving the performance features and reliability of our services. We may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of our services. In addition, any new enhancements must meet the requirements of our current and prospective customers and must achieve significant market acceptance. We could also incur substantial costs if we need to modify our services or infrastructures to adapt to these changes.

 

Risks Related To Our Common Stock and Securities

 

We may need additional capital that will dilute the ownership interest of investors.

 

We may require additional capital to fund our future business operations. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our shares of common stock, who may experience dilution of their ownership interest of our shares of Common Stock. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock by our board of directors may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our shares of Common Stock.

 

We will be controlled by our existing majority shareholder.

 

Our directors and officers currently in place control or beneficially own a significant portion of our shares. Thus, they will continue to oversee the Company’s operations. As a result, our directors and officers will likely have a significant influence on the affairs and management of the Company, as well as on all matters requiring stockholder approval, including electing and removing members of its board of directors, causing the Company to engage in transactions with affiliated entities, causing or restricting the sale or merger of the Company and changing the company’s dividend policy. Such concentration of ownership and control could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company, even when such a change of control would be in the best interests of the company’s other stockholders.

 

Specifically, after consummation of this Offering, assuming all Units are sold under the Offering, our CEO, Tim Pickett will beneficially own and control 2,891,419 common shares of the Company, or 49.33% of the common shares on a fully-diluted basis. While we are and will be a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq immediately after consummation of this offering we do not intend to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq.

 

19

 

 

If you purchase Common Stock in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares.

 

The offering price of the Common Stock is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock (attributing no value to the Warrants). Therefore, if you purchase Common Stock in this offering, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value per share after this offering. To the extent outstanding options or warrants are exercised, you will incur further dilution. Based on an assumed offering price of $5.50 per share, you will experience immediate dilution of $4.45 per share, representing the difference between our pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock after giving effect to this offering and the offering price. See “Dilution” for further information.

 

The offering price of the primary offering and resale offering could differ.

 

The offering price of our common stock in the primary offering (the initial public offering) has been determined by negotiations between the Company and the underwriter based upon several factors, including prevailing market conditions, our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, and the market valuations of similar companies. The offering price in the primary offering bears no relationship to our assets, earnings or book value, or any other objective standard of value. Additionally, the estimated offering price in the primary offering of $5.50 per share is substantially higher than the prices at which the selling stockholders acquired their shares. Our recent share issuances at prices substantially less than the primary offering price occurred while we were a non-public company, and the shares we issued were subject to transfer restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and by lock-up restrictions, whereas shares issued in the primary offering will be issued after we are a public company and will be issued without restriction.

 

The selling stockholders may sell the resale shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices after close of the primary offering and listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Therefore, the offering prices of our common stock in the primary offering and the resale offering could differ. As a result, purchasers in the resale offering could pay more or less than the offering price in the primary offering.

 

The resale by the selling stockholders may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

The resale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders in the resale offering could result in resales of our common stock by our other shareholders concerned about selling volume. In addition, the resale by the selling stockholders after expiration of the lock-up period could have the effect of depressing the market price for our common stock.

 

If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected.

 

Any trading market for our common stock may be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected.

 

The Warrants are speculative in nature.

 

The Warrants do not confer any rights of Common Stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock at a fixed price. Specifically, each Tradeable Warrant will have an exercise price equal to $6.33, and each Non-tradeable Warrant will have an exercise price equal to $6.33 per whole share. Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the Warrants is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Warrants will equal or exceed their exercise price. Furthermore, each Warrant will expire five years from the original issuance date. In the event our Common Stock price does not exceed the exercise price of the Warrants during the period when the Warrants are exercisable, the Warrants may not have any value.

 

Holders of the Warrants will have no rights as a holder of our Common Stock until they acquire our Common Stock.

 

Until you acquire our Common Stock upon exercise of your Warrants, you will have no rights with respect to Common Stock issuable upon exercise of your Warrants. Upon exercise of your Warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a holder of our Common Stock as to the security exercised only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise.

 

Provisions of the Warrants could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

 

In addition to the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of formation and amended and restated bylaws, certain provisions of the Warrants could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The Warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the Warrants. These and other provisions of the Warrants could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.

 

We are registering shares of common stock to certain stockholders concurrently with the primary offering; if they sell stock concurrently with the primary offering, such sales might affect the price, demand, and liquidity of our common stock.

 

We are registering shares of common stock to certain security holders concurrently with the primary offering which include the potential resale by certain selling stockholders of an aggregate amount up to 1,617,039 shares of our common stock. Sales by these selling stockholders may reduce the price of our common stock, demand for the shares sold in the offering and, as a result, the liquidity of your investment.

 

We have broad discretion in the use of our cash, cash equivalents, and investments, including the net proceeds from this offering, and may not use them effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of our cash, cash equivalents, and investments, including the net proceeds from this offering, and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse impact on our business, cause the price of our common stock to decline, and delay the development of additional services or the opening of new locations. Pending their use, we may invest our cash, cash equivalents, and investments, including the net proceeds from this offering, in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. See the section titled “Use of Proceeds” appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

We do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock.

 

We do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain any earnings to maintain and expand our existing operations. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment.

Risks Related to the Offering

 

Our existing shareholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our shares of Common Stock.

 

The perceived risk of dilution may cause our shareholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our shares of Common Stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our shares of Common Stock.

 

Unless the Company becomes public and an active trading market develops for our securities, investors may not be able to sell their shares.

 

The Company is not a public company and there is not currently an active trading market for our shares of Common Stock and an active trading market may never develop or, if it does develop, may not be maintained. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market will have a generally negative effect on the price of our shares of Common Stock, and you may be unable to sell your shares of Common Stock or any attempted sale of such shares of Common Stock may have the effect of lowering the market price and therefore your investment could be a partial or complete loss. Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our Common Stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value.

 

21

 

 

The market prices and trading volume of our shares of Common Stock may experience rapid and substantial price volatility , which may affect the price at which you could sell the shares underlying the Units.

 

Recently, the market prices and trading volume of shares of common stock of other small publicly traded companies with a limited number of shares available to purchasers have experienced rapid and substantial price volatility unrelated to the financial performance of those companies. Similarly, subsequent to this offering, shares of our Common Stock may experience similar rapid and substantial price volatility unrelated to our financial performance, which could cause purchasers of our Common Stock to incur substantial losses, which may be unpredictable and not bear any relationship to our business and financial performance. Extreme fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock may occur in response to strong and atypical retail investor interest, including on social media and online forums, the direct access by retail investors to broadly available trading platforms, the amount and status of short interest in our securities, access to margin debt, trading in options and other derivatives on our Common Stock and any related hedging and other trading factors.

 

If there is extreme market volatility and trading patterns in our Common Stock, it may create several risks for investors, including the following:

 

the market price of our Common Stock may experience rapid and substantial increases or decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects, or macro or industry fundamentals;
   
if our future market capitalization reflects trading dynamics unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, purchasers of our Common Stock could incur substantial losses as prices decline once the level of market volatility has abated; and
   
if the future market price of our Common Stock declines, purchasers may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired them. We cannot assure you that the market of our Common Stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future, in which case you could incur substantial losses.

 

Further, we may incur rapid and substantial increases or decreases in our stock price in the foreseeable future that may not coincide in timing with the disclosure of news or developments by or affecting us. Accordingly, the market price of our shares of common stock may fluctuate dramatically, and may decline rapidly, regardless of any developments in our business. Overall, there are various factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our Common Stock, including:

 

  actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations;
     
  recommendations by securities research analysts;
     
  changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies in the industry in which we operate;
   
  addition or departure of our executive officers and other key personnel;
     
  sales or perceived sales of additional Common Shares;
     
  operating and financial performance that varies from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;
     
  regulatory changes affecting our industry generally and our business and operations both domestically and abroad;
     
  announcements of developments and other material events by us or our competitors;
     
  fluctuations in the costs of vital services;
     
  changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions;

 

  significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;
     
  operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us or from a lack of market comparable companies; and
     
  news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in our industry or target markets.

 

22

 

 

Financial markets have at times historically experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that: (i) have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of companies and (ii) have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the shares underlying the Units from time to time may decline even if our operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that may result in impairment losses to us. Further fluctuations in price and volume of equity securities may occur in the future. If increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, our operations could be adversely impacted, and the trading price of the shares underlying the Units may be materially adversely affected.

 

We are eligible to be treated as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make the Common Shares less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (2) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus and periodic reports and proxy statements, and (3) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find the Common Shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find the Common Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the Common Shares, and the stock price may be more volatile.

 

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

 

23

 

 

Costs and expenses of being a reporting company under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act may be burdensome and prevent us from achieving profitability.

 

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and parts of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems and resources.

 

Since our shares of Common Stock may be thinly traded it is more susceptible to extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.

 

Since our shares of Common Stock may be thinly traded its trading price is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to): the trading volume of our shares, the number of analysts, market-makers and brokers following our shares of Common Stock, new products or services introduced or announced by us or our competitors, actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results, conditions or trends in our business industries, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of our shares of Common Stock and general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly traded, and particularly microcap, companies.

 

Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our Common Stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our shares of Common Stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. Although there is no such litigation currently pending or threatened against us, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business.

 

Because we do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, investors in this offering may never receive a return on their investment.

 

We do not anticipate that we will pay any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain any earnings to maintain and expand our existing operations. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment.

 

There could be unidentified risks involved with an investment in our securities.

 

The foregoing risk factors are not a complete list or explanation of the risks involved with an investment in the securities. Additional risks will likely be experienced that are not presently foreseen by the Company. Prospective investors must not construe this and the information provided herein as constituting investment, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decision to invest in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus and consult with your own investment, legal, tax and other professional advisors. An investment in our securities is suitable only for investors who can assume the financial risks of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period of time and who can afford to lose their entire investment. The Company makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the likelihood of the success or the business of the Company, the value of our securities, any financial returns that may be generated or any tax benefits or consequences that may result from an investment in the Company.

 

The risk factors referred to above, as well as other risks not mentioned above, could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which ones will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable and the information included in this registration statement is accurate we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

 

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $6,265,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses assuming a per Unit price of $5.50, or approximately $7,204,750 if the underwriters’ representative exercises the over-allotment option, with respect to both shares of Common Stock and Warrants, in full.

 

We plan to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for the following purposes:

 

Working Capital  Use of Net Proceeds  
Capital Expenditures (1)  $2,140,000 
Labor  $1,300,000 
Real Estate (2)  $500,000 
Marketing and Sales  $630,000 
Technology Development (3)  $1,000,000 
Other  $695,000 
Total Allocated  $6,265,000 

 

  (1)

Capital Expenditures will include a total of $2,140,000, including money spent on expansion of at least two new clinic locations in Utah and Weber Counties at an estimated capital infusion of $570,000 per clinic. It also includes funds used to acquire existing clinic operations, with an acquisition budget of approximately $1,000,000. No specific clinics have been targeted for acquisition as of the date of this filing. If no clinics are found within this budget range, new expansion capital will be estimated at $2,140,000 in total.

     
  (2) Real Estate will include potentially acquiring clinic locations, although no specific markets or targeted real estate have been identified or are currently known as of the date of this filing.
     
  (3) Technology Development will include our plans to enhance our data and artificial intelligence (“AI”) capabilities significantly. We aim to allocate $300,000 towards bolstering our data collection systems and processes, ensuring richer and more accurate insights from patient interactions. An additional $200,000 will be directed towards refining our data analysis, aiding us in better understanding the complex patterns and trends in our data. The bulk of the use of proceeds, approximately $400,000, will expand our AI capabilities, strengthening our problem-solving and decision-making processes. Finally, the remaining $100,000 will be dedicated to system implementation, staff training, and contingency needs within our core businesses. This strategic investment is designed to deliver more personalized patient experiences, make informed business decisions, and ultimately enhance our organization’s operational efficiency and profitability.

 

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, along with the net proceeds from this offering and any proceeds from the exercise of Warrants, together with interest on cash balances, will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next 12 months. The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. However, the nature, amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management has and will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds from this offering for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of net proceeds from this offering. To the extent that the net proceeds we receive from this offering are not immediately used for the above purposes, we intend to invest our net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing bank deposits or debt instruments.

Similarly, each increase (decrease) of 1,000,000 shares in the number of shares offered by us at the assumed initial public offering price per share, would increase (decrease) the pro forma as adjusted amount of each of cash and cash equivalents, working capital, total assets and total stockholders’ equity (deficit) by approximately $4,922,500.

27

 

 

The number of shares of our Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 4,588,134 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of December 7, 2023 and excludes:

 

  1,909,091 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Tradeable Warrants, and the exercise of Non-tradeable Warrants to be issued as part of the Units;
     
 

87,818 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative Warrants.

     
286,364 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Tradeable Warrants and the exercise of Non-tradeable Warrants to be included as part of the Over-allotment Option

 

DILUTION

 

Each Unit, with an assumed public offering price of $5.50 per Unit, which consists of (i) one share of Common Stock, (ii) one Tradeable Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock and (iii) one Non-tradeable Warrant to purchase one-half of one share of our Common Stock.

 

If you invest in our Units, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share of our Common Stock that is part of the Unit and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock immediately after giving effect to this offering.

 

As of September 30, 2023 our historical net tangible book value was $(490,620) or $(0.11) per share of Common Stock. Historical net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by total liabilities, divided by 4,588,134 the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on September 30, 2023.

 

After giving effect to the sale of Units, at the assumed offering price of $5.50 per Unit, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023 would have been $5,554,880 or $0.95 per share of Common Stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.05 per share to our existing stockholders. Investors purchasing our Common Stock in this offering will have paid $4.45 more than the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock after this offering.

 

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

 

Assumed offering price per share (attributing no value to the Warrants)  $5.50 
Historical net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2023  $(0.11)
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors  $1.05 
Net tangible book value per share after the offering  $0.95 
Dilution per share to new investors  $4.45

The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis as of September 30, 2023, the differences between the number of shares of Common Stock acquired from us, the total amount paid and the average price per share paid by the existing holders of our Common Stock and by investors in this offering, based upon an assumed public offering price of $5.50 per Unit.

 

   Shares   Total Consideration   Average
Price Per
 
   Number   Percent   Amount   Percent   Share 
Existing shareholders   4,588,134    78%  $3,259,628    32%  $0.71 
New investors   1,272,727    22%  $7,000,000    68%  $5.50 
Total   5,860,861    100%  $10,259,628    100%     

 

The number of shares of our Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 4,588,134 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of December 7, 2023, and excludes:

 

  1,909,091 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Tradeable Warrants, and the exercise of Non-tradeable Warrants to be issued as part of the Units;
     
 

87,818 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative Warrants.

     
286,364 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Tradeable Warrants and the exercise of Non-tradeable Warrants to be included as part of the Over-allotment Option

 

If we issue additional shares of Common Stock in the future, there could be further dilution to investors participating in this offering. In addition, we anticipate needing to raise additional capital before generating positive cash flows and we may choose to raise additional capital because of market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

Overview

 

KindlyMD is a healthcare data company, focused on holistic pain management and aiding in the fight against the opioid epidemic. KindlyMD offers direct health care to patients integrating prescription medicine and behavioral health services to reduce opioid use in the chronic pain patient population. Kindly believes these methods to be superior in managing the root cause of symptoms and improve outcomes while lowering dependency on opiates. Our specialty outpatient clinical services are offered on a subscription and fee-for-service basis to augment traditional healthcare. The Company offers evaluation and management, including, but not limited to chronic pain, functional medicine, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma and addiction therapy, recovery support services, overdose education efforts, peer support, limited urgent care, preventative medicine, travel services, and hormone therapy. Through its focus on an integrated model of prescriber and therapist teams, KindlyMD is working to develop patient-specific care programs with a specific mission to reduce opioid use in the patient population while successfully treating patients with effective and evidence based non-opioid alternatives and in conjunction with behavioral therapy.

 

Beyond its treatment of patients, KindlyMD collects data focused on why and how patients turn to alternative treatments to reduce prescription medication use and addiction. The Company captures all relevant datapoints to assist and appropriately treat each individual patient. This also results in valuable data for the company and the company’s investors. We strive to become a source for evidence-based guidelines, data, and education in the fight against the opioid crisis in America. While we know one company alone cannot end the opioid epidemic, we strive to do what we can to work with other groups and individuals to fight against the opioid crisis facing America today.

 

Business Revenue Streams

 

We operate across various revenue streams: (i) medical evaluation and treatment visits for chronic pain and illness, (ii) subscription outpatient medicine (pain clinic medicine), (iii) data collection and research, (iv) education partnerships, (v) online and email campaign marketing revenue, (vi) service affiliate agreements, and (vii) retail sale of dietary products.

 

KindlyMD is a licensed healthcare facility performing routine evaluation and management for non-emergent conditions in a direct care and subscription model. KindlyMD focuses primarily on three visit types. 1) Patients with pain who are using opioid medications, 2) patients seeking evaluation and management for non-opioid alternative treatments that require the recommendation of a licensed prescriber. 3) Behavioral Therapy and guided therapy visits billed through traditional insurance or out of pocket.

 

Patients with pain who are using opioid medications

 

New patients pay an initial evaluation fee of $249 and a monthly subscription fee or visit fee of $119, plus labs and testing on an individual basis as needed. Visits are required once per month for programs involving the management of an opioid medication.

 

Patients seeking evaluation and management for non-opioid alternative treatments that require the recommendation of a licensed prescriber

 

New patients pay an initial evaluation fee of $249 and $189 for a follow-up appointment. KindlyMD sees between 1600 and 1900 visits per month in total under this program in Utah.

 

Behavioral Therapy and guided therapy visits billed through traditional insurance or out of pocket

 

Behavioral health therapy visits are embedded into the Company’s clinical model and also performed either on a fee for service basis or paid through traditional insurance contracts. The clinical model includes behavioral therapy for 15-minute sessions at each visit, plus the Company offers 50-minute therapy sessions with licensed therapists trained in trauma-based therapy.

Data Collection and Research

 

KindlyMD collects valuable data from interactions with people online, via telecommunication, and patient interactions and through our products. Clients provide some of this data directly, as do clinicians and staff, by collecting data about interactions, product and medication use, experiences, and behavior. The data we collect depends on the context of the interactions with KindlyMD and the choices people make, including their privacy settings and the products and features they use. We also obtain data about customers, patients, and clients from third parties.

 

We gather information from our patients and potential clients through various online and paper forms, such as self-screening forms, that may collect demographic, clinical, medical or preferences from the person. We provide clear consent procedures during this process, outlining the use of data, and allowing for changes in preferences at any time. Interactions with our patients and clients can occur online through forms, product purchases, or service requests, through telecommunication/web chat support requests, or through the analysis of product and service sales.

 

Clinical and demographic data are particularly useful in understanding the needs of patients. This includes information such as names, addresses, income levels, household indicators, diagnosis, symptoms, medical history, and social history, along with data from purchased products from websites and clinics, including item types, quantity, and average time before next purchase. Information about medical conditions and medications used provides insights into the healthcare requirements of individual patients. These insights can help tailor our services to better meet patient needs and contribute to improved health outcomes. We also leverage physical addresses to identify potential marketing areas in local markets and for targeted expansion discussions.

 

Patient data is governed by HIPAA. Patients consent to allow KindlyMD use of their data upon signing up for our services. When we collect demographic or medical data during appointments and questionnaire gathering, we inform the patient that their information is protected under HIPAA and that we will not share private health information with other institutions or individuals without the patient’s consent. Patients, clients, and customers of KindlyMD have choices when it comes to the technology they use and the data they share. If someone chooses not to share their data with KindlyMD, we may not provide services. Where providing data is optional, clients, patients, and customers are offered the choice to provide the data or not to.

 

In collecting data from these interactions, we combine data we collect from different contexts or obtain from third parties to provide a more seamless, consistent, and personalized experience, to make informed business decisions, to make clinical decisions, and for other legitimate business purposes.

 

Our processing of personal and healthcare data for these purposes includes both automated and manual (human) methods of processing. Our automated methods often are related to and supported by our manual methods. For example, our automated methods may include artificial intelligence (AI), which is a set of technologies that enable computers to perceive, learn, reason, and assist in decision-making to solve problems in ways that are similar to what people do. We are currently training machine learning processes within our Microsoft environment to improve categorization of patient needs and use prepopulated AI models, like ChatGPT from OpenAI, to help us leverage data.

 

We utilize advanced artificial intelligence technology, such as OpenAI, within our Microsoft environment to help gather data and create operational plans. This use of AI enables us to strategize the use of the data we collect more effectively, resulting in improved business operations and patient services. This technology is being leveraged alongside Azure Machine Learning processes to help categorize and identify trends in various data sets, including what brings a patient to our clinic, from where and under what pretexts.

 

This information gathered resides in our database, where we have business agreements with each entity accessing this system. A manual review may be conducted by KindlyMD employees or vendors who are working on KindlyMD’s behalf.

 

We share personal data with consent or to complete any transaction or provide any product an individual has requested or authorized. We also share data with KindlyMD controlled affiliates and subsidiaries; with vendors working on our behalf; when required by law or to respond to legal process; to protect our customers; to protect our customers and patients; to protect lives; to maintain the security of our products; and to protect the rights and property of KindlyMD and its customers and patients.

 

KindlyMD is required to protect the information it collects and maintains. KindlyMD respects the right to privacy and will protect the information it maintains about clients and patients in accordance with all required laws, regulations and standards. All healthcare research and published data regarding clinical outcomes is anonymized and governed by HIPAA. Personally identifying information is protected and removed from any research, publication, or sale to a third party.

 

Education Partnerships with various entities

 

We strive to build a large audience of those seeking honest, evidence-based, holistic and practical information about alternatives to opioids. Our in-house education center creates educational content for all KindlyMD’s programs. Some of the educational content is subsidized through local and regional partnership agreements, currently representing approximately 2% of overall revenue.

 

Online and Email Campaign Marketing Revenue

 

KindlyMD has a combined reach of over 32,000 email contacts that have opted-in to our education and marketing communication. Paid messaging is offered to local and regional businesses for a fee.

Retail Sales of Dietary Products

 

In early 2023, the company expanded service lines to include full-spectrum hemp-based products, including “gummies”. Our mission is to enhance our patient’s and customers’ overall quality of life and reduce the use of prescription medications, specifically opioids. We launched a line of white-labeled hemp-derived delta 9 products supported by our direct care of patients. The company’s four initial gummy product offerings contain a variety of cannabinoids and terpenes, in addition to CBD, while maintaining THC amounts within the limits set in the 2018 Farm Bill.

 

Product Description

 

Our white-labeled products are manufactured by a third party, licensed hemp-manufacturer in Utah with whom we have no material written agreements related to their licensing to process hemp in Utah. All ingredients are sourced by the manufacturer directly. KindlyMD “white-labels” proprietary formulations, or rebrands the product as its own. All products are approved for sale in Utah and registered by the Utah Department of Agriculture, Division of Industrial Hemp and Medical Cannabis (UDAF). This process requires KindlyMD to submit a complete product registration application, a full panel certificate of analysis (COA) provided by the manufacturer, a product label design that complies with administrative rule R68-26-5, and a fee of $325 for each cannabinoid product registered. Each registration is effective for 12 months. Products must be reregistered each year. Additionally, in order to sell hemp products in Utah, companies must register as hemp retailers through UDAF, each calendar year, for $50.

 

Beyond the federal guidelines, which are further described in the section “Government Regulations,” hemp products registered in Utah after May 3rd, 2023, cannot exceed a total of THC and any THC analog that is greater than 5 milligrams per serving; and 150 milligrams per package or be sold to persons under 21 years of age.

 

Our current white-labeled products include hemp-based gummies containing cannabinoids. Each formulation, “Revive”, “Calm”, “Balance”, “THC Free”, and “Missy’s Micros” is formulated with a different ratio of cannabinoids and registered for legal sale and kept on public file at the UDAF website.

 

Education Partnerships

 

We strive to build a large audience of those seeking honest, evidence-based, holistic and practical information about alternatives to opioids. Our in-house education center creates educational content for all of KindlyMD’s programs. Some of the educational content is subsidized through local and regional partnership agreements, currently representing approximately 2% of overall revenue.

 

Online and Email Campaign Marketing Revenue

 

KindlyMD has a combined reach of over 32,000 email contacts that have opted-in to our education and marketing communication. Paid messaging is offered to local and regional businesses for a fee.

 

Affiliate Agreements

 

KindlyMD networks with local healthcare clinics and product manufacturers in geographic markets to maximize our ability to increase service and product offerings to more individuals, usually through referrals. We work with local healthcare clinics, the providers and administrators at the local Veterans Administration (VA), including those specializing in the evaluation and management of similar conditions as well as organizations specializing in specialized procedures, treatments, and behavioral health therapy. These include verbal referrals and cooperation in patient care plans which may include services provided by different clinics. We may white-label dietary products suited to our customers using local or regional manufacturers. In the future, KindlyMD may also sublease space within a primary clinic in order to expand services by an affiliate organization. These service agreements are governed by a healthcare Business Associate Agreement (BAA) as well as financial contracts, where necessary.

 

Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The current outbreak of COVID-19 has globally resulted in loss of life, business closures, restrictions on travel, and widespread cancellation of social gatherings. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the duration. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, including:

 

  new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the disease, its relationship to other illnesses, medication interactions and side effects of treatments, protocols surrounding transmission, effects and long-term effects, among other medically related information;

 

32

 

 

  the duration and spread of the outbreak;
     
  the severity of travel restrictions imposed by geographic areas in which we operate, mandatory or voluntary business closures;
     
  regulatory actions taken in response to the pandemic;
     
  other business disruptions that affect our workforce;
     
  the impact on capital and financial markets; and
     
  actions taken throughout the world, including in markets in which we operate, to contain the COVID-19 outbreak or treat its impact.

 

In addition, the current outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread global health crisis and adversely affected global economies and financial markets, and similar public health threats could do so in the future. If the disruptions posed by the COVID-19 pandemic or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, the operations of our business may be materially adversely affected.

 

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar public health threat has an impact on our business, it is likely to also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the “Risk Factors” section.

 

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the amortization period for intangible assets, valuation and impairment valuation of intangible assets, valuation of share-based payments.

 

Changes in Accounting Principles. No significant changes in accounting principles were adopted through September 30, 2023.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 360-10, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements. The Company measures their financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term loans the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 

We have adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

33

 

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

Revenue Recognition. The Company records revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606. This Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer purchase orders, including significant judgments.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from: (i) medical evaluation and treatment, (ii) subscription outpatient medicine (pain clinic medicine and behavioral therapy), (iii) data collection and research, (iv) education partnerships, (v) online and email campaign marketing revenue, (vi) service affiliate agreements, and (vii) retail sale of dietary products.

 

We recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.

 

The Company recognizes revenue after the transaction price has been allocated and when it satisfies the performance obligation. Usually, there is only a single performance obligation in the contract, and therefore the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. This typically occurs at a point in time when products and or services are delivered or shipped.

 

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure trade receivable are not overstated due to non-collectability. The Company’s allowance is based on a variety of factors, including age of the receivable, significant one-time events, historical experience, and other risk considerations.

Plan of Operation

 

The 2023 and 2024 operational plan consists of:

 

  1.

Continued establishment and expansion of current and associated service lines within the scope of KindlyMD’s operations. The expansion of pain management services with integrated behavioral health will be our central focus as we continue to expand into new Utah based locations. KindlyMD may also expand upon its existing service lines. We are in the early stages of development. The types of opportunities we intend to explore include acquisition of existing pain clinics, behavioral health clinics, or other traditional medical clinics, which may have characteristics to include credentialing of insurance payers, patient base primarily of chronic pain patients, located in markets with existing or nascent medical marijuana programs within their respective locations.

 

At present, our operations are solely based in Utah and we have not currently targeted or planned specific expansion into other states. Given the complex, state-specific regulatory landscape of the cannabis industry as well as the healthcare industry, expanding our operations will necessitate extensive preparation and understanding of the relevant regulations, licensure, and registration requirements in any such state. Each state has a unique set of rules and regulations pertaining to the use, possession, production, and distribution of medical prescription services and medical cannabis use by patients and consumers. Consequently, any potential expansion will involve a careful evaluation of the state-specific regulatory environment, ensuring full compliance with all requisite laws and regulations to prevent legal ramifications.

 

The company has not taken concrete steps to expand into markets outside of Utah as of this filing, nor have we identified any additional clinic locations or acquisitions or entered into any agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions or investments.

 

a. Data Collection and Research

 

Data collection, research, and analyzation are core tenets within KindlyMD and will continue through the 2023 and 2024 operational plan and beyond. Key implementation projects may allow us to improve clinical research and development of best practice guidelines within the pain treatment market as well as develop products and services to enhance opioid prescription safety and risk mitigation programs for patients. The main data collection and research projects in 2023 and 2024 are as follows:

 

  Clinical process customization of integrated behavioral health team models and documentation standardization. Highly focused patient evaluations and efficient documentation methods may produce clinical data sets that illustrate and help produce potentially highly effective patient treatment methods. Bringing behavioral healthcare in-house allows for BHC and prescriber to work together in real-time and coordinate care plans. This allows us to create standard workflows based on provider/patient interaction. This can be both art and science and may yield new processes that could improve patient outcomes in relation to the opioid epidemic in the United States. Specifically, by reducing the time to coordinate care, improving patient engagement and compliance, and collecting both prescriber and behavioral clinical data sets in one integrated system.
     
  Interface creation between Electronic Health Record systems and Cloud Data Models (Health Cloud). Data points gathered from staff, providers, patients, and third parties, are entered into multiple systems with discreet data fields and reporting capabilities. We take this data, collate it, and analyze it to identify potentially efficacious treatment methodologies. Large data sets of this type may have many applications that could range from improved patient outcomes to licensed access.
     
  Data extraction and analytics may be used to create a Data Lake. A data lake is a centralized repository designed to store, process, and secure large amounts of structured, semi structured, and unstructured data. It can store data in its native format and process any variety of it, ignoring size limits. This level of ability and agility in the healthcare data field can be combined with machine learning and may be extremely productive and lucrative in its application.
     
  Continued enhancements to data security policies and protocols. The healthcare and technology industries have constantly changing and increasing requirements. It is imperative that we remain abreast of current and emerging technologies if we wish to be at the forefront of the fight against the opioid epidemic. It is our plan to constantly assess and improve our processes, policies, and procedures to safeguard our data and our patients.
     
  Integration with internal and partner resources. Kindly may work with partners, vendors, third parties, as well as internally to enhance the flow of bi-directional information where possible. Once created, integrations of this type can greatly increase the speed of information gathering and data research and may even be licensed for use with other entities.

 

b. Outpatient Medicine (Pain Clinic Medicine)

 

KindlyMD will expand services of outpatient evaluation and management of chronic pain patients as well as patients seeking management of alternative, non-opioid medicine. This effort will initially include expansion of services within the Salt Lake City area Utah market, leasing of a larger facility in Utah County, and expansion into the Southern Utah market. Expansion will increase the KindlyMD labor force in a linear fashion of approximately one employee for every 250 new patients acquired. KindlyMD has been able to hire highly skilled and motivated individuals who advocate for non-opioid drugs and who are motivated to be involved in the deprescribing movement. We anticipate increasing labor costs due to macroeconomic factors. Currently labor is approximately 80% of KindlyMD’s budgetary allowance for the nine months ending September 30, 2023.

 

Clinic operations will continue to require a high number of licensed prescribers and a growing number of licensed clinical behavioral therapists and consultants. We intend to maintain approximately one licensed provider (MD, NP, PA) and one licensed Behaviorist per 3,000 active patients in the outpatient program. Growth of the program will also require an increasing number of Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWS) at a rate sufficient to maintain patient care and capacity. We anticipate two LCSW hires in 2023 in the Utah market.

 

35

 

 

KindlyMD is one of the largest providers of medical evaluation and management services related to treatment recommendations within the medical cannabis program in Utah. We plan to continue this service line as a core revenue driver and awareness builder. Currently, we treat approximately 14,800 patients, or approximately 21% of patients reported by the Utah Department of Health and Human Services to be in this program, and we have continued to see increases year over year. As of May 3, 2023, our lobbying efforts were successful; Utah increased the number of patients each registered provider may recommend medical cannabis for to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the total patient population. Furthermore, patients who are treated by providers contracting with insurance to see said patients are not counted against that cap. Operationally, we anticipate this will help fuel continued growth of our patient base and revenue through 2023 and 2024.

 

Our model of healthcare blends prescribers and licensed behavioral health clinicians into patient care plans at the point of service. Although there are a number of small to large networks using this model in low-income and high-risk population care, we know of no other large pain clinic in Utah, or the US, which uses this integration model. Importantly, we are also one of a limited number of specialty providers who allow patients to utilize non-opioid alternative medications, such as medical cannabis, concomitantly with opioids under guided supervision by a licensed integration team.

 

c. Education Partnerships with Cannabis Companies and Healthcare Organizations

 

Existing partnerships include education with medical cannabis facilities in Utah. Limited advertising and promotion laws restrict these companies from sending marketing material to consumers and potential patients. Additionally, barriers to entry continue to exist in these programs for patients due to cost, continued stigma, and lack of local access. All these variables are targets for KindlyMD to facilitate aid to at-risk communities of patients in order to improve access to non-opioid pain management as well as improve current prescribing and risk mitigation practices within patient groups who are at higher risk of opioid complications.

 

Training will expand to handle this growth. Training will require developing further behavior integration process manuals and development of internal training protocols. Due to limited psychological integration with prescription medicine practices, these training tools will require custom development internally. Each care team will travel to SLC for immersive two-week training and integration practice work before launching in their own unique locations. Full-time training and implementation staff will be hired to facilitate these outlined processes and ensure appropriate adherence to the program is attained.

 

d. Service Affiliate Agreements

 

KindlyMD partners with local healthcare clinics and product manufacturers in geographic markets to maximize our ability to increase service and product offerings to more individuals, mostly through referrals. We partner with local healthcare clinics, the individual providers and administrators at the local Veterans Administration (VA), including those specializing in the evaluation and management of similar conditions as well as organizations specializing in specialized procedures, treatments, and behavioral therapy. These include verbal referrals and cooperation in patient care plans which may include services provided by different clinics. We may “white-label” dietary products suited to our customers using local or regional manufacturers. In the future, KindlyMD may also sublease space within a primary clinic in order to expand services by an affiliate organization. These service agreements are governed by a healthcare Business Associate Agreement (BAA) as well as financial contracts, where necessary. No written financial agreements are in place at the time of this filing.

 

Our BAA with local healthcare clinics, manufacturers and vendors includes written description of obligations and activities of the business associate, explaining that the associate will not use of disclose Protected Health Information (PHI) other than as permitted or required by the Agreement or as required by law. It also states that the associate will use appropriate safeguards to prevent the use or disclosure of PHI. The Company does not currently have vendors or associates that review predictions or inferences made by AI. Furthermore, the BAA specifies situations in which the associate is allowed to use and disclose PHI. This could be for the purposes of the services they provide, or for managing and administering their own business. The Company is responsible for notifying the associate of any limitations in its notice of privacy practices, changes in and individual’s permission to use PHI, and any restrictions on the use of PHI. The term of the BAA is specified in each BAA and termination provisions allow for termination of the BAA if the associate violates a material term of the Agreement. Otherwise the BAA remains in effect until written notice of termination.

 

In 2023 KindlyMD plans to continue and hopes to increase these affiliate agreements as needed.

 

e. Online and Email Campaign Marketing

 

Online marketing and email campaign marketing was a small portion of revenue in 2022/2021 but will continue as the audience grows. Limiting factors have been the lack of paid advertising options, but will improve with the KindlyMD model of pain medicine management and data driven healthcare.

 

  2. Adopt a comprehensive branding, marketing, digital and social media strategy for its revenue lines.
   

Marketing is currently based in-house with supplemental contracted work on an as needed basis. We have an in-house design and content creation team which maintains expertise in promoting the safe and effective use of non-opioid products, including medical cannabis, where legal markets allow for its consumption. KindlyMD also aggressively markets its services through paid channels including but not limited to paid online advertising, social media, emails to a list of over 32,000 contacts and patients, podcasting, YouTube channel content, blogging, press releases, and more. Ongoing spending of approximately 10% of total income is budgeted in order to improve saturation and brand building.

 

36

 

 

  3.

Acquisition growth strategy.

 

KindlyMD will continue to leverage its growth potential as a leader in specialized data collection and healthcare in the opioid and alternative medicine space. We have not identified specific acquisition targets to disclose as of this offering. We intend to research and negotiate acquisitions as much as we are able. We seek out specialty clinics focused on opioid or non-opioid evaluation and management of pain and other chronic illnesses. Clinics with large patient numbers that are and are not involved in state legal medical cannabis programs, where patients are not able to receive behavioral healthcare, addiction services, or prescription management and education. These programs will be evaluated by a small team led by the CEO, COO, and consultant evaluators in order to acquire them as wholly owned subsidiaries or integrated healthcare clinics.

     
4.

Apply for Grant funding through US and State funded opioid and stimulant misuse programs.

 

In May 2022, President Biden announced grant funding for improved substance use disorder treatment and mental health services. $1.6 Billion was announced awarded in September 2022. No specific government funding programs have materially impacted our operations and therefore have not impacted our operating results. We expect no change to this in the foreseeable future. We plan to watch closely for funding opportunities in 2023 and 2024, contracting with a grant funding analyst to work on increasing KindlyMD’s capacity for government grants related to services of opioid treatment, education, and addiction mitigation with the proceeds from this offering.

 

Kindly MD’s Commercial operations are in Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented they will necessarily yield positive results.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

 

Revenue

 

The Company had revenue of $3,787,077 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2,504,319 for the year end December 31, 2021. The increase by $1,282,758, or 51.2%, is primarily attributable to continued growth of customer acquisition, improvement of clinic utilization and standardization of operational processes. The increase in non-opioid treatment appointments was primarily the source of increased sales. There was no material change in pricing between 2021 and 2022. The portion of 2022 total revenue comprised by our controlled substance medication services was not material.

 

Operating Expenses

 

The Company had operating expenses of $6,480,490 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2,442,979 for the comparable period in 2021. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to the following:

 

1.Costs of goods sold increased by $65,261, or 74.9%, from $87,124 in 2021 to $152,385 in 2022, primarily due to increased retail sales volume.
2.General and administrative expenses increased by $1,297,981, or 52.1%, from $853,582 in 2021 to $2,151,563 in 2022, primarily due to, $106,363 in software and IT consulting, $875,013 payments to professional management and legal expenses, and $316,604 in other expansion efforts.
3.

Personnel expenses increased by $2,674,269, or 17.8%, from $1,502,273 in 2021 to $4,176,542 in 2022, $1,359,652 million of this increase was a result of reorganization of the company from an LLC and subsequent share issuance to key employees after the reorganization. The issuance of the equity-based compensation is believed to be a one-time event to reward our long-time employees and we do not expect an issuance of this magnitude to occur in the future. The remaining $1,314,617 million expense was primarily a result of our expanded workforce to support our growth initiatives.

 

37

 

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Our other income increased by $64,824, or 74%, from $87,996 for the year ended December 31, 2021, to $152,820 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase is primarily attributable to gains from expanded marketing and education income and other non-operating income.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

The Company had a net loss of $2,540,593 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to net income of $149,336 for the year ended December 31, 2021. This was due to the expansion of the key personnel and investment into a larger clinic location in Murray, Utah. This was also due to the use of stock as compensation of early key talent.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2022, we had total assets of $1,001,269, an increase of $553,626, or 123.7%, compared to $447,643 as of December 31, 2021. The increase in total assets is primarily due to the growth in our business and strategic investments in property, equipment, and operating right-of-use assets.

 

Our total liabilities increased by $445,698, or 255.3%, from $174,557 as of December 31, 2021, to $620,255 as of December 31, 2022. This increase is primarily due to the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred revenue, operating lease liabilities, and amounts due to related parties.

 

We have sufficient resources to effectuate our business without additional expansion. Without additional required funding, we expect to generate positive cash flows from operations, sufficient to cover our operating expenses for a period of twelve months after the date of this filing.

 

Our stockholders’ equity increased by $107,939, or 39.5%, from $273,086 as of December 31, 2021, to $381,014 as of December 31, 2022. This increase is primarily due to the issuance of common stock, additional paid-in capital, and accumulated deficit.

 

Cash Flow

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, our net cash used in operating activities was $140,383, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $74,100 during the year ended December 31, 2021. The change in net cash from operating activities is primarily due to the increase in recruiting and expanding the workforce in key personnel and the increase in accrued liabilities.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $317,388 during the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $63,602 during the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to investments in property and equipment to support our growth.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $550,000 during the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2,000 during the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to the issuance of common stock and additional paid-in capital.

 

As a result of these cash flow activities, our net cash increased by $92,229, or 97.4%, from $94,689 as of December 31, 2021, to $186,918 as of December 31, 2022.

 

Outlook

 

We expect to continue investing in our growth initiatives, including expanding our client base, enhancing our product and service offerings, and improving our operational efficiency. We believe that these investments will support our long-term growth and profitability.

 

However, we recognize that there are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with our growth strategy, including the ability to maintain and grow our client base, successfully execute on our strategic initiatives, and manage our operating expenses. We will continue to monitor our financial performance and make adjustments to our growth strategy as necessary to ensure the long-term success of our business.

 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

 

Revenue

 

The company had revenue of $3,009,151 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2,856,902 for the corresponding period, 2022. This increase of $152,249, or 5%, is primarily attributable to continued growth of customer acquisition and utilization of our new space in Murray, Utah. We continue to see growth of non-opioid treatment appointments as the main driver of increased sales.

 

Operating Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,160,948 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $1,706,106 for the same period in 2022, which was a decrease of $545,158 or 32%. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased professional fees paid in the amount of $571,963.

 

Personnel expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $3,037,938 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 which were $3,257,573 , representing a decrease of $219,635 or 7% over the corresponding period ending September 30, 2022. The lower personnel costs relative to the revenue increase is due to greater efficiencies in personnel expenses and business operations. Pricing of services has remained consistent over the Company’s history relative to the pricing of similar healthcare services offered by similar clinics in the Utah market.

 

The Company had a working capital deficit of $324,567 as of September 30, 2023, as compared to the working capital deficit of $40,506 for December 31, 2022. This is a decrease of $284,061. The decrease in working capital was primarily the result of increased accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $263,702.

 

Net Loss

 

The company had a net loss of $1,292,533 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $2,094,550 in the same period for 2022. The improvement of $802,017 or 38% is due to decreased operating expenses for general and administrative categories in the amount of $545,158, and decreased personnel expenses in the amount of $219,635.

 

Stockholders’ equity showed a deficit of $192,350 as of September 30, 2023 compared to equity of $381,014 at the end of December 31, 2022 which is a decrease of $573,364.

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in operations totalled $240,806, compared to net cash provided by operations in the corresponding period, 2022 of $129,432, The net change is primarily due to net loss, equity-based compensation subsequent to reorganization, and common stock issued for services.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $14,420 during the period ending September 30, 2023, compared to cash used in investing activities of $158,209 for the comparable period, 2022.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $219,553 during the period ending September 30, 2023, compared to $558,761 for the comparable period ending September 30, 2022.

 

As a result of increased operating activities, net change in cash decreased from a surplus of $529,984 as of September 30, 2022 to a deficit of $35,673 as of September 30, 2023.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2023 we had total assets of $856,274, compared to $1,001,269 as of December 31, 2022. The decrease is due to a decrease in property and equipment and right of use operating leases.

 

As of September 30, 2023 we had total liabilities of $1,048,624, compared to $620,255 as of December 31, 2022. This is an increase of $428,369 and is primarily due to increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, including the loan to a related party, Wade Rivers LLC.

 

We have sufficient resources to effectuate our business without additional expansion. Without additional required funding, we expect to generate positive cash flows from operations sufficient to cover our operating expenses for a period of twelve months after the date of this filing.

 

Outlook

 

We expect to continue our growth initiatives, including expanding our client base, enhancing our product and service offerings, and improving our operational efficiency. We believe that these initiatives will support our long-term growth and profitability. Specifically, we look forward to credentialing with insurance payers in late 2023 and selling retail products as initiatives to expand our revenue and profitability goals for late 2023 and 2024.

 

However, we recognize that there are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with our growth strategy, including the ability to maintain and grow our client base, successfully execute on our strategic initiatives, and manage our operating expenses. We will continue to monitor our financial performance and make adjustments to our growth strategy as necessary to ensure the long-term success of our business.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

KindlyMD is a holistically focused pain management clinic and healthcare data company formed in 2019. KindlyMD offers direct health care to patients integrating prescription medicine and behavioral health services to reduce opioid use in the chronic pain patient population. Its specialty outpatient clinical services are offered on a subscription and fee-for-service basis to augment traditional healthcare. The Company offers evaluation and management, including, but not limited to chronic pain, functional medicine, cognitive behavioral therapy, recovery support services, overdose education efforts, peer support, limited urgent care, preventative medicine, travel services, and hormone therapy. Through its focus on an embedded model of prescriber and therapist teams, KindlyMD is working to develop patient-specific care programs with a specific mission to reduce opioid use in the patient population while successfully treating patients with evidence based behavioral therapy and non-opioid alternatives.

 

 

Beyond its treatment of patients, KindlyMD collects data focused on why and how patients turn to alternative treatments to reduce prescription medication use and addiction. The Company captures all relevant datapoints to assist and appropriately treat each individual patient. This also results in valuable data for the company and the company’s investors. We strive to become a source for evidence-based guidelines, data, and education in the fight against the opioid crisis in America.

 

KindlyMD offers direct healthcare focused on what patients want and need, not what the doctor wants or needs. Its prescribers and therapists listen, use data and evidence, then help patients decide on a care plan. Through its focus on the de-stigmatization of behavioral healthcare, alternative therapies, and by taking a collaborative approach to counsel patients on every option available to them, KindlyMD is develops patient-specific care programs that imbed behavioral therapy in every visit. KindlyMD providers are experts in de-prescribing and using alternatives to opioids, such as medical cannabis, Ketamine infusion therapy, and other prescription and non-prescription alternatives.

 

To further reduce inefficacious and opioid use we destigmatize behavioral health by imbedding behavioral health into every program we offer. Sessions are paid either through insurance or out of pocket. Additional work is done for addictions counseling, naloxone education, and risk mitigation strategies as part of our work on the Biden-Harris opioid initiative which places emphasis on decreasing overprescribing while improving access to addiction treatment and mental health initiatives. We offer naloxone to each chronic opioid patient as well as education and monitoring for addiction and recovery through the integrated model.

 

KindlyMD is most successful when patients report positive health outcomes as a result of our care. KindlyMD imbeds prescribers with behavioral health consultants to develop person-specific care programs for patients. Its medical advisory committee evaluates the efficacy of those programs. Impact goals are set within individual programs and measured against national benchmarks and “Clinical Quality Measures.”

 

KindlyMD’s medical advisory committee is comprised of at least four individuals, including an MD, licensed behavioral health clinician, Advanced Practice Clinician, and a care coordinator. Individuals are appointed to the committee by the Board of Directors. The committee is responsible for reviewing Clinical Quality Measures for each calendar year, reviewing patient outcomes, and making recommendations for improvement in treatment protocols.

KindlyMD’s Clinical Quality Measure goals for 2023/2024 include:

 

Opioid dose reduction at a level pain scale rating

Pain brought under control within 48 hours

Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for depression and follow-up plan

● Functional status change for patients with low back pain

Implementation of improvements causing more timely communication of test results

 

 

In August and September of 2022, KindlyMD collected voluntary responses from 1,157 of our patients. This data was collected through a voluntary response follow-up survey. Data was anonymized for patient privacy. Patients were asked to answer this question relative to their experience using medical cannabis under our care over the previous six months.

 

Beyond its treatment of patients, KindlyMD collects data focused on why and how patients may turn to non-opioid alternatives to reduce prescription medication use and addiction. The Company captures all available data from patient visits (including prescriptions, use history, purchase history, and trauma history) and is the only known alternative medicine data source of its kind in Utah. Such data is used to study the effects and habits of patients using alternative treatments versus traditional medications, primarily in the pain and addiction space and medical cannabis space.

 

KindlyMD’s Role in Fighting the Opioid Epidemic

 

Sixty nine percent of Americans aged 45-64 use prescription medication, and most of these prescriptions do not help enough to offset the significant risks associated with long term side effects or do not help at all. Over age 65, it gets much worse, with opioids and benzodiazepines the most worrisome. Almost 108,000 Americans died of overdose in the U.S. in 2021 spurring the government to initiate the largest opioid treatment grant funding ever. Yet the opioid market is forecast to grow 3.5% year over year despite heavy regulations and stricter guidelines for providers who prescribe opioids. The aging U.S. population will increase the diagnosis of osteoarthritis beyond 67 million individuals by 2025 and about 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain each year.

 

Rising demand for surgeries, increasing awareness, availability of treatment options, and the willingness to seek treatment are expected to complement the growth of the population of patients seeking treatment for pain and/or chronic pain medication use. Furthermore, while non-opioid treatment options, including medical cannabis, are becoming much more widespread, they are not included in clinical guidelines in any helpful fashion. Doctors are not trained in non-opioid alternatives and generally feel unprepared to prescribe or recommend alternatives to opioids. Only 1 in 10 medical doctors are prepared to recommend these non-opioid drugs in their practice.

 

A growing number of adults are using long term medications that they do not need. Many of these medications cause long term negative side effects and even death. Few providers offer education and guidance around formulary products with simple guidelines targeted to reducing dangerous opioid use. Research on patient behavior and non-opioid alternative use is lacking quality and consistency in large part due to the patchy regulatory framework, inadequate training, and stigma. Patients often seek out alternative medical interventions or turn to dangerous drugs such as fentanyl when traditional healthcare systems fail to meet their needs. Additionally, mental health stressors are known to contribute to chronic medical illness and have skyrocketed in the past three years.

 

Life stressors and trauma, stress-related physical symptoms, and ineffective patterns of healthcare utilization led KindlyMD to develop a holistically focused solution for patients. KindlyMD offers direct health care focused on prescribing what is needed and getting rid of what is not, blending prescription medicine, behavioral health services, and alternative medicine at an affordable rate. This increases access for the many patients seeking treatment who now have a clear path of integrated medical care. It also focuses data and evidence collection on the patients and their treatment programs in order to develop clear clinical guidelines, services, and products designed to lower opioid use and improve outcomes using the safest and most effective products and services available.

 

The four pillars of KindlyMD are:

 

1.Listen. KindlyMD is the first healthcare company of its kind to blend prescriptions, behavioral health services, and alternative medicine to create custom, personalized care plans for patients.

 

40

 

 

2.Integrate. Each “Integration Team” consists of a prescriber, BHC (Behavioral Health Clinician), and Care Coordinator — because it works best when everyone is on the same team under the same roof. Our care is outcome-focused by being patient-focused.
   
3.Track. KindlyMD captures and tracks unique and sought-after patient data. Our national database strives to be a large non-opioid alternative medicine data source working to end the opioid epidemic.
   
4.Understand. KindlyMD understands the burden of the opioid epidemic on at-risk populations. KindlyMD connects at-risk veterans, the terminally ill, and low-income individuals with healthcare resources and education through its charitable care.

 

KindlyMD Headquarters

 

Our headquarters are located at 5097 S 900 E, Suite 100 Salt Lake City, UT 84117.

 

Recent Expansion

 

KindlyMD executed a four-year lease for 5,321 square feet of clinic and office space in Murray Utah. This expansion offers up to ten more exam and consultation rooms to our local clinical capacity. It also allows KindlyMD to consolidate a smaller location into a larger location, which will improve the cost-per-patient-visit ratio. We will also use this flagship location as a training facility for new providers and staff to learn the integrated behavioral medical model.

 

Business Revenue Streams

 

We operate across various revenue streams: (i) medical evaluation and treatment visits for chronic illness, (ii) subscription outpatient medicine (pain clinic medicine), (iii) data collection and research, (iv) education partnerships with various entities, (v) online and email campaign marketing revenue, (vi) product affiliate agreements, and (vii) retail sale of dietary products.

 

KindlyMD is a licensed healthcare facility performing routine evaluation and management for non-emergent conditions in a direct care and subscription model. KindlyMD focuses primarily on three visit types. 1) Patients with pain who are using opioid medications, 2) patients seeking evaluation and management for non-opioid alternative treatments that require the recommendation of a licensed prescriber. 3) Behavioral Therapy and guided therapy visits billed through traditional insurance or out of pocket.

 

Patients with pain who are using opioid medications

 

New patients pay an initial evaluation fee of $249 and a monthly subscription fee or visit fee of $119, plus labs and testing on an individual basis as needed. Non subscription follow up visits are billed $189. Visits are required at least once per month for programs involving the management of an opioid medications.

 

Patients seeking evaluation and management for non-opioid alternative treatments that require the recommendation of a licensed prescriber

 

New patients pay an initial evaluation fee of $249 and $189 for a follow-up appointment. KindlyMD sees between 1600 and 1900 visits per month in total under this program in Utah.

 

41

 

 

Behavioral Therapy and guided therapy visits billed through traditional insurance or out of pocket

 

Behavioral health therapy visits are embedded into the Company’s clinical model and also performed either on a fee for service basis or paid through traditional insurance contracts. The clinical model includes behavioral therapy for 15-minute sessions at each visit, plus the Company offers 50-minute therapy sessions with licensed therapists trained in trauma-based therapy.

 

Data Collection and Research

 

KindlyMD collects valuable data from interactions with people online, via telecommunication, and patient interactions and through our products. Clients provide some of this data directly, as do clinicians and staff, by collecting data about interactions, product and medication use, experiences, and behavior. The data we collect depends on the context of the interactions with KindlyMD and the choices people make, including their privacy settings and the products and features they use. We also obtain data about customers, patients, and clients from third parties.

 

We gather information from our patients and potential clients through various online and paper forms, such as self-screening forms, that may collect demographic, clinical, medical or preferences from the person. We provide clear consent procedures during this process, outlining the use of data, and allowing for changes in preferences at any time. Interactions with our patients and clients can occur online through forms, product purchases, or service requests, through telecommunication/web chat support requests, or through the analysis of product and service sales.

 

Clinical and demographic data are particularly useful in understanding the needs of patients. This includes information such as names, addresses, income levels, household indicators, diagnosis, symptoms, medical history, and social history, along with data from purchased products from websites and clinics, including item types, quantity, and average time before next purchase. Information about medical conditions and medications used provides insights into the healthcare requirements of individual patients. These insights can help tailor our services to better meet patient needs and contribute to improved health outcomes. We also leverage physical addresses to identify potential marketing areas in local markets and for targeted expansion discussions.

 

Patient data is governed by HIPAA. Patients consent to allow KindlyMD use of their data upon signing up for our services. When we collect demographic or medical data during appointments and questionnaire gathering, we inform the patient that their information is protected under HIPAA and that we will not share private health information with other institutions or individuals without the patient’s consent. Patients, clients, and customers of KindlyMD have choices when it comes to the technology they use and the data they share. If someone chooses not to share their data with KindlyMD, we may not provide services. Where providing data is optional, clients, patients, and customers are offered the choice to provide the data or not to.

 

In collecting data from these interactions, we combine data we collect from different contexts or obtain from third parties to provide a more seamless, consistent, and personalized experience, to make informed business decisions, to make clinical decisions, and for other legitimate business purposes.

 

Our processing of personal and healthcare data for these purposes includes both automated and manual (human) methods of processing. Our automated methods often are related to and supported by our manual methods. For example, our automated methods may include artificial intelligence (AI), which is a set of technologies that enable computers to perceive, learn, reason, and assist in decision-making to solve problems in ways that are similar to what people do. We are currently training machine learning processes within our Microsoft environment to improve categorization of patient needs and use prepopulated AI models, like ChatGPT from OpenAI, to help us leverage data.

 

We utilize advanced artificial intelligence technology, such as OpenAI, within our Microsoft environment to help gather data and create operational plans. This use of AI enables us to strategize the use of the data we collect more effectively, resulting in improved business operations and patient services. This technology is being leveraged alongside Azure Machine Learning processes to help categorize and identify trends in various data sets, including what brings a patient to our clinic, from where and under what pretexts.

 

This information gathered resides in our database, where we have business agreements with each entity accessing this system. A manual review may be conducted by KindlyMD employees or vendors who are working on KindlyMD’s behalf.

 

We share personal data with consent or to complete any transaction or provide any product an individual has requested or authorized. We also share data with KindlyMD controlled affiliates and subsidiaries; with vendors working on our behalf; when required by law or to respond to legal process; to protect our customers; to protect our customers and patients; to protect lives; to maintain the security of our products; and to protect the rights and property of KindlyMD and its customers and patients.

 

KindlyMD is required to protect the information it collects and maintains. KindlyMD respects the right to privacy and will protect the information it maintains about clients and patients in accordance with all required laws, regulations and standards. All healthcare research and published data regarding clinical outcomes is anonymized and governed by HIPAA. Personally identifying information is protected and removed from any research, publication, or sale to a third party.

 

Education Partnerships with various entities

 

We strive to build a large audience of those seeking honest, evidence-based, holistic and practical information about alternatives to opioids. Our in-house education center creates educational content for all KindlyMD’s programs. Some of the educational content is subsidized through local and regional partnership agreements, currently representing approximately 2% of overall revenue.

 

Online and Email Campaign Marketing Revenue

 

KindlyMD has a combined reach of over 32,000 email contacts that have opted-in to our education and marketing communication. Paid messaging is offered to local and regional businesses for a fee.

Retail Sales of Dietary Products

 

In early 2023, the company expanded service lines to include full-spectrum hemp-based products, including “gummies”. Our mission is to enhance our patient’s and customers’ overall quality of life and reduce the use of prescription medications, specifically opioids. We launched a line of white-labeled hemp-derived delta 9 products supported by our direct care of patients. The company’s four initial gummy product offerings contain a variety of cannabinoids and terpenes, in addition to CBD, while maintaining THC amounts within the limits set in the 2018 Farm Bill.

 

Product Description

 

Our white-labeled products are manufactured by a third party, licensed hemp-manufacturer in Utah with whom we have no material written agreements related to their licensing to process hemp in Utah. All ingredients are sourced by the manufacturer directly. KindlyMD “white-labels” proprietary formulations, or rebrands the product as its own. All products are approved for sale in Utah and registered by the Utah Department of Agriculture, Division of Industrial Hemp and Medical Cannabis (UDAF). This process requires KindlyMD to submit a complete product registration application, a full panel certificate of analysis (COA) provided by the manufacturer, a product label design that complies with administrative rule R68-26-5, and a fee of $325 for each cannabinoid product registered. Each registration is effective for 12 months. Products must be reregistered each year. Additionally, in order to sell hemp products in Utah, companies must register as hemp retailers through UDAF, each calendar year, for $50.

 

Beyond the federal guidelines, which are further described in the section “Government Regulations,” hemp products registered in Utah after May 3rd, 2023, cannot exceed a total of THC and any THC analog that is greater than 5 milligrams per serving; and 150 milligrams per package or be sold to persons under 21 years of age.

 

Our current white-labeled products include hemp-based gummies containing cannabinoids. Each formulation, “Revive”, “Calm”, “Balance”, “THC Free”, and “Missy’s Micros” is formulated with a different ratio of cannabinoids and registered for legal sale and kept on public file at the UDAF website.

 

Our Competitive Strengths

 

KindlyMD is one of the largest providers of medical evaluation and management services related to treatment recommendations within the medical cannabis program in Utah, serving 21% of the Utah market as of this filing. Our model of healthcare is unique in Utah, blending prescribers and licensed behavioral health clinicians into every patient care plan. We know of no other large pain clinic in Utah that utilizes this integration model. We are one of a limited number of specialty providers who allow patients to utilize non-opioid alternative medications with their opioids with supervision by a licensed prescriber. Our competition are pain clinics as well as other non-opioid specialty alternative medicine clinics in Utah. KindlyMD providers are experts in de-prescribing and using alternatives to opioids, so much so that in a survey of 1,157 our patients in 2022, 88% of our patients saw a reduction in other medication in just 6 months.

 

In additional to its in-person clinics, KindlyMD offers telehealth online to patients in the Utah market where the standard of care is the same as in-person visits. KindlyMD believes its business model could thrive in other states where a pain clinic can build a profitable base in treating pain patients with prescription medication regardless of the state-legal alternative, non-opioid options available to patients. With KindlyMD’s data driven model, positive outcomes could contribute to more favorable legislation toward many non-opioid alternative medication options in the US, such as cannabis and psychedelics to augment treatment protocols.

 

In addition, KindlyMD’s significant database and data collection model sets it apart from its competitors. Visits may be charted by two clinicians, one prescriber and one BHC. This data focuses on why and how patients may turn to alternative medicine to reduce prescription medication use and addiction and is a valuable tool in establishing treatment protocols and advocating the medical and pharmaceutical industries for more diverse treatment options. We know of no other data pool or data collection model that matches this specificity or level of functionality.

 

Competition

 

KindlyMD’s patient services faces competition from existing chronic pain clinics, alternative pain treatment centers, and direct to patient healthcare subscription companies (such as goforward.com or Medalus). Competition also comes from imbedded integration company EvolvedMD who are a behavioral health company imbedding BHC’s into existing clinics in Arizona and Utah through an affiliate model. Further, it also faces competition from other non-opioid focused healthcare data collection companies. However, the Company believes that there is a high barrier for entry in this industry that requires specialized expertise, licensure, and that will require significant capital. The Company believes it can compete with these other companies due to the experience of the team and the unique model of healthcare provided.

 

Marketing and Customers

 

KindlyMD uses various marketing techniques to advertise its services and attract potential new clients and patients. Such techniques include releasing weekly podcasts and posting videos on a YouTube channel, aggressive online and social media marketing, billboard campaigns in target markets, publishing research, and participating in speaking engagements. KindlyMD has two specific target markets: patients and businesses. KindlyMD attempts to target patients suffering from chronic pain, adults on opioids or more than one prescription medication, and adults seeking access to medical cannabis in state-legal markets. Further, the Company targets businesses looking for data resources, clinic operations and centers dedicated to wellness, research and analysis, market research, and consumer analyses.

Government Regulation

 

We are subject to local, state, federal and international laws, statutes, rules, policies, and regulations (collectively “Regulations”) that relate directly or indirectly to our operations. These include health practices, privacy, and data protection regulations. Our business operations involve the collection, transfer, use, disclosure, security, and disposal of personal or sensitive information. As a result, our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and international laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection. We are also subject to common business and tax rules and regulations pertaining to the operation of our business. Below is a discussion of the federal and state-level regulatory regimes in those jurisdictions where we are currently directly involved.

 

We are subject to the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) as enforced by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The CSA is the federal U.S. drug policy under which the manufacture, importation, possession, use, and distribution of certain narcotics, stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, anabolic steroids, and other chemicals are regulated. The DEA is the federal agency responsible for enforcing the CSA. A pain clinic that prescribes opioids must register with the DEA and follow strict record-keeping, reporting, and security measures to ensure that these substances are not misused. Non-compliance can result in substantial penalties and criminal charges.

 

Food and Drug Administration (FDA): The FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of drugs, biological products, and medical devices. Our clinic must only use FDA-approved medications and devices, and follow FDA guidelines in their use.

 

Utah State Medical Boards: Each state has its own medical board that licenses and regulates physicians and other healthcare professionals. They also establish rules for clinics and the prescribing of controlled substances. WE are subject to the Utah Department of Professional Licensing with regard to our Nurse Practitioners, Physicians Assistant, Medical Doctors, Phycologists, and Licensed Clinical Social Workers to maintain licensing.

 

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA): HIPAA sets national standards for the security of electronic health care transactions, the privacy of health information, and the conduct of healthcare providers. We must have systems in place to protect patient privacy and maintain data security.

 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS): If or when KindlyMD treats Medicare or Medicaid patients, CMS rules dictate regarding billing, reporting, and patient care guidelines.

 

Federal Regulation of Cannabis

 

In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Congress has the power to regulate cannabis.

 

The U.S. federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act, which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as a substance that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The Department of Justice defines Schedule I drugs, substances or chemicals as “drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” However, the Food and Drug Administration has approved Epidiolex, which contains a purified form of the drug CBD, a non-psychoactive ingredient in the cannabis plant, for the treatment of seizures associated with two epilepsy conditions. The Food and Drug Administration has not approved cannabis or cannabis compounds as a safe and effective drug for any other condition. Moreover, under the 2018 Farm Bill or Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 legalized the regulated production of hemp, which is defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC by weight. All KindlyMD products contain less than 0.3% THC by weight

 

FDA and Hemp Products: The FDA regulates products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). The FDA currently prohibits THC or CBD products from being sold as dietary supplements or in food interstate commerce. Any product marketed with a therapeutic claim must be approved by the FDA before it can be sold.

 

KindlyMD does not market or sell products as dietary supplements or food, and makes no health claims on any of the aforementioned products sold.

 

Marijuana is largely regulated at the state level.

 

State laws that permit and regulate the production, distribution and use of cannabis for adult use or medical purposes are in direct conflict with the Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal. Although certain states and territories of the U.S. authorize medical and/or adult use cannabis production and distribution by licensed or registered entities, under U.S. federal law, the possession, use, cultivation and transfer of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is illegal and any such acts are criminal acts under federal law under any and all circumstances under the Controlled Substances Act. Although our activities are believed to be compliant with applicable state and local laws, strict compliance with state and local laws with respect to cannabis may neither absolve us of liability under U.S. federal law, nor may it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought.

 

The risk of federal enforcement and other risks associated with our business are described in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

 

Regulation of the Cannabis Market at State and Local Level

 

The Utah Medical Cannabis Act (H.B. 3001 Utah Medical Cannabis Act) directs the Utah Department of Health (UDOH) to issue medical cannabis cards to patients, register medical providers who wish to recommend medical cannabis treatment for their patients, and license medical cannabis pharmacies. Physicians, Advanced Practice Registered Nurses, and physician assistants who are licensed to prescribe a controlled substance are allowed to recommend medical cannabis treatment for their patients. Providers must register as a qualified medical provider through an Electronic Verification System (EVS) established by the UDOH. Registered providers may only recommend medical cannabis treatment to a patient in the course of the physician-patient relationship after completing and documenting in the patient’s record a thorough assessment of the patient’s condition and medical history.

 

Hemp products are approved for sale in Utah and registered by the Utah Department of Agriculture, Division of Industrial Hemp and Medical Cannabis (UDAF). This process requires a complete product registration application, a full panel certificate of analysis (COA), a product label design that complies with administrative rule R68-26-5, and a fee of $325 for each cannabinoid product registered. Each registration is effective for 12 months and must reapply for registration each year. Hemp is only allowed for sale in registered establishments through UDAF.

 

The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food oversees the market for industrial hemp and medical cannabis in Utah and is governed, in part, by H.B. 227 Hemp Amendments, effective May 3, 2023. This bill outlines the hemp producer registration process, establishes the age of 21 as the legal age in which a person in Utah may purchase a hemp product and generally governs the rules surrounding legal limits of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and THC analogs in hemp products to 5mg per serving and 150mg total per package. UDAF also regulates compliance by monitoring processors and retail establishments. All products labeled and sold in Utah must be approved by UDAF.

 

Product registration application and COA requirements are subject to Utah administrative rule R68-26-4 and R68-37 for testing standards. Label requirements are found in Utah administrative rule R68-26-5.

 

Telemedicine

 

The Utah Medical Practice Act allows healthcare providers to establish a provider-patient relationship via telemedicine, as long as the standard of care is the same as in-person visits. Healthcare providers providing telehealth and telepsychology telemedicine services to patients in Utah must be licensed to practice in the state. Utah allows for telemedicine prescribing as long as the standard of care is the same as in-person visits. Controlled substances have additional regulations that often require an in-person exam. Telemedicine is allowed under the Utah Medical Cannabis Act only after the Provider has evaluated the patient, at least once, face-to-face. All interactions between the treating provider and patient are considered healthcare interactions and therefore are governed by HIPAA privacy laws.

 

The Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act of 2008: This is a federal law that regulates the distribution of controlled substances online. When KindlyMD uses telemedicine services to prescribe opioids, we must comply with this Act. The Ryan Haight Act requires a valid prescription for controlled substances, which generally entails a prior in-person medical evaluation.

 

Telepsychology services in Utah also require provider licensing, which is governed by the Utah Psychology Licensing Board. Providers need to meet stringent educational, internship, and examination requirements, aligning with the American Psychological Association’s guidelines.

 

Corporate Practice of Medicine laws aim to preserve the physician-patient relationship from potential commercial intrusions. In Utah, these laws apply to telemedicine. We enter into contractual agreements with physicians and APCs to preserve the provider-patient relationship from commercial intrusions.

 

Fee-splitting, the sharing of professional fees between medical practitioners and non-medical practitioners, is illegal in Utah. Cybersecurity is governed by the Utah health Information Network (UHIN) standards, which provide a framework for data security and protection in healthcare, which we adhere to. We utilize encryption for all healthcare related communication channels and data storage, inclusive of telemedicine. Insurance regulation also influences telemedicine practice in Utah. Utah law mandates private payer parity for telemedicine services, meaning private insurance companies must cover telemedicine services at the same rate as in-person services. However, specifics of billing and reimbursement vary among insurers.

 

Expansion outside of Utah

 

At present, our operations are solely based in Utah and we have not currently targeted or planned specific expansion into other states. Given the complex, state-specific regulatory landscape of the cannabis industry as well as the healthcare industry, expanding our operations will necessitate extensive preparation and understanding of the relevant regulations, licensure, and registration requirements in any such states.

 

In Utah, we operate under the Utah Medical Cannabis Act which guides our licensure, operations, and patient interaction. Each state has a unique set of rules and regulations pertaining to the use, possession, production, and distribution of medical cannabis. Consequently, any potential expansion will involve a careful evaluation of the state-specific regulatory environment, ensuring full compliance with all requisite laws and regulations to prevent legal ramifications.

Regulatory Risks

 

Our operations, although compliance with Utah state law, are still subject to U.S. federal law which classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance. There is always a risk of federal enforcement action, and non-compliance could lead to significant legal penalties, including but not limited to fines, imprisonment, seizure of assets, and prohibition of business operations.

 

Our business operations in the medical marijuana industry expose us to specific risks. The conflict between federal and state laws regarding marijuana creates a complex legal environment, where compliance with state law does not exempt us from federal prosecution. Federal enforcement could disrupt our operations and expose us to substantial legal risk. The ongoing evolution of regulations and their enforcement adds a layer of uncertainty to our business.

 

The Cannabis industry also faces societal perceptions and stigma which can impact our market. Changes in laws, regulations, or societal perceptions can affect market conditions and the demand for our products and services.

 

If or when we expand our operations to other states in the future, we will have to ensure full compliance with the laws of those states, which will necessitate significant investments in legal, operational, and administrative resources. Each expansion will come with its own set of unique challenges and potential risks, necessitating a thorough analysis of the specific state regulatory environments. Our business operations and expansion plans are in line with the current interpretation of the regulations in place. However, a change in regulatory interpretation, enforcement or law could adversely affect our operations. Consequently, the risks inherent in the cannabis industry and our business necessitate careful consideration by potential investors.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We know of no existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or any of their respective affiliates, or any beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Biographies of Directors and Officers

 

The following is a brief account of the education and business experience during at least the past five years of each director, executive officer, and key employee of our Company, indicating the person’s principal occupation during that period, and the name and principal business of the organization in which such occupation and employment were carried out.

 

The following noteworthy experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills for each Board member, together with the biographical information for each nominee described below, led to our conclusion that the person should serve as a director in light of our business and structure:

 

Tim Pickett, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman

 

Tim Pickett, MPAS-C, age 45, is the founder and CEO since the Company was founded in 2019. He graduated from the University of Utah with a Master’s Degree in Physician Assistant Studies (2014). He previously worked in General Surgery, Trauma, and Emergency Medicine for Steward Medical Group’s Physician Group of Utah from 2014 to October, 2020. His experience in surgery and critical care shaped his view of the opioid crisis. He currently teaches at the University of Utah Physician Assistant program as a guest lecturer on medical cannabis. His role at PGU included extensive outpatient clinic, surgical first assist, and critical care at the bedside. He currently teaches at the University of Utah Physician Assistant program as a guest lecturer on medical cannabis. He lobbies governments for improved legislation for non-opioid medicine access and is an advocate for the practical use of safe, evidence-based alternatives, in medical treatment. He was voted Utah’s best Medical Cannabis Doctor in 2020 and 2021, respectively.

 

Adam Cox, Chief Operating Officer, Director

 

Adam Cox, age 46, is an experienced businessperson, entrepreneur, and inspiring leader. After more than a decade in corporate healthcare, he joined KindlyMD full time on May 1, 2022. He was appointed COO on October 6 to pursue a solution to the opioid epidemic through data analytics and optimum operational management. Adam’s notable business ventures include working in the healthcare sector since 2011 transitioning healthcare entities from paper charting to electronic records under the CMS mandate for Meaningful Use. Adam began working for Physician Group of Utah in 2012 and quickly moved up the ranks to join its parent company, IASIS Healthcare. In 2016, as the Corporate Manager of Electronic Health Record Implementation at IASIS Healthcare, he pioneered several streamlining initiatives in healthcare data analytics, training, and management in Utah that were then implemented nationwide as enterprise level solutions. Following the success of his position and the acquisition of IASIS by Steward Healthcare in 2017, Mr. Cox moved on to guide nationwide hospital and clinical acquisitions as an Acquisitions Analyst with the Information Systems (IS) arm of Corporate Operations. Mr. Cox established himself as Steward Healthcare’s go-to expert for many critical ambulatory operations, often traveling nationwide to evaluate, troubleshoot, and stabilize IS and acquisition related issues in various markets. His tenured and diverse skill sets along with his proven trustworthiness rendered him as the primary, and often solitary, internal resource capable of resolving complex issues that couldn’t be managed remotely, ensuring the steady functionality and success of Steward Healthcare’s ambulatory operations. By 2019, the national evaluation, interoperability, integration, implementation, and standardization of all clinical IS operations for acquisition and expansion by Steward Healthcare fell to Mr. Cox and his specialized team.

Jared Barrera, Chief Financial Officer

 

Jared Barrera, MBA, age 42, joined KindlyMD as its full time CFO on September 28, 2022. He has extensive expertise in both the banking and healthcare industries for the last 20 years, specifically in finance and accounting. He has a wide array of experience ranging from revenue optimization, business intelligence, GAAP accounting, budgeting and forecasting, financial modeling, lending and credit analysis, revenue cycle management, collections management, auditing and payroll processing. Jared graduated with Master’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in accounting from Utah Valley University, 2015. He also received a Bachelor’s of Science degree in accounting from Utah Valley University in 2011. From November of 2018 to September of 2022, Jared worked as the Senior Manager of Revenue Cycle and Business Intelligence for Granger Medical Clinic which is one of Utah’s largest physician-owned groups. Prior to Granger Medical Clinic, Jared worked from October 2015 to October of 2018 as the Director of Finance for Physician Group of Utah.

 

Amy Powell, Director Nominee

 

Amy Powell, MD, FACP, FAMSSM, age 50, is currently a Professor (Clinical) in the Department of Orthopaedics at the University of Utah, where she has cared for intercollegiate athletes alongside active people across the lifespan for 20 years. She graduated from the University of Washington with a Medical Doctorate (1999) and completed fellowship training in sports medicine (internal medicine) at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in 2003. We believe her extensive experience with multimodal pain management (medications, physical therapy, injections, and mental coaching for wellness) for acute and chronic injury management and her experience in medical research and education will greatly benefit patients served by KindlyMD and qualifies her to serve on the Board. Dr. Powell brings vital clinical and research acumen which is crucial to enhancing and validating KindlyMD’s pain management approaches, specifically given the blend of multimodal pain management methods the company uses. Her 20 years of experience in caring for athletes and active individuals aligns with the company’s mission to reduce opioid usage while successfully treating patients, utilizing both her practical and theoretical insights in pain management. Her role in medical education can further bolster KindlyMD’s research, clinical protocols, and patient education strategies in creating evidence-based guidelines and therapies.

 

Christian Robinson, Director Nominee

 

Christian Robinson, CPA, age 54, is currently the Chief Financial Officer of the Zion Pharmaceuticals, LLC and Intrepid Biosciences, LLC group of companies (2021 – present). He Graduated with a BBA in Accounting in 1996 from the University of Texas at Arlington and has been a licensed CPA for over 25 years. Christian started his career by working as an auditor for Deloitte from 1996 until 1999 and then worked at Ernst & Young from 1999 to 2003. After leaving public accounting, Christian has worked in variety of accounting and finance positions for companies in the transportation, nutraceuticals, nuclear waste and medical cannabis industries, including a small startup industrial hemp extraction company (2019 – 2021) and as a self-employed financial consultant (2016 – 2019). Mr. Robinson worked for EnergySolutions, Inc. as the Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer (1996 – 2016) where he helped take the company public in 2007, ensured Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance, and managed all SEC financial reporting and compliance matters. Given KindlyMD’s diversified services and data management, we believe Christian’s vast experience in managing finances, ensuring compliance (such as with SOX), and overseeing SEC reporting qualifies Christian to serve on our Board and is pivotal for financial stability and regulatory adherence. His experience with startups, particularly in the medical cannabis industry, resonates with KindlyMD’s approach to alternative treatments and may offer valuable insights into both strategic financial planning and industry-specific nuances. Ensuring that KindlyMD adheres to financial regulations and maintains transparent communication with investors and stakeholders will be crucial, especially in light of the company’s collection and management of sensitive patient data and its varied revenue streams (subscription, fee-for-service, etc).

 

Gary Seelhorst, Director Nominee

 

Gary Seelhorst, MS, MBA, age 52, currently serves as Senior VP of National Compliance & Governemtal Affairs at Justice Grown, since 2018. His 25-year background in Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare brings scientific rigor to KindlyMD. Gary previously worked with Clinics and Surgery Centers with Imprimis/Harrow Health as a VP of Business Development during the company’s biggest growth phase (2013-2017). His experience also includes lengthy stints at both Eli Lilly as a medical writer (1996-1998) and Pfizer as a Manager of Clinical Development (1998- 2003) and as Director of Corporate Development (2003-2006) as well as several start-ups developing corporate and expansion strategies. He has a BS/BA from UC San Diego in Biochemistry/Psychology (1994), an MS in Clinical Physiology from Indiana University (1993), and an MBA with an emphasis in finance from the University of Michigan (2004). We believe Gary’s 25-year background in Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare is invaluable for navigating the pharmaceutical landscape, especially regarding non-opioid alternatives qualifies him to serve on our Board. His business development role during the growth phase at Imprimis/Harrow Health, and his MBA with a focus on finance, could be crucial in aiding KindlyMD to strategically navigate its expansion strategies and potentially increase its service portfolio or market share. His varied roles in both clinical and corporate development offer a balanced perspective that is particularly useful in ensuring that KindlyMD’s clinical and corporate strategies are aligned, sustainable, and optimized for both patient outcomes and business growth.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Subject to Title 16, Chapter 10a, Part 9 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the “Act”) and the laws of the State of Utah, officers shall be indemnified by the Corporation, so long as the officer acted in a manner substantially similar to and consistent with the standard of care for directors. Any officer indemnification shall be limited to proceedings that are directly related to or have arisen out of the officer’s acts on behalf of the Corporation.

Significant Employees

Director Compensation

 

There are no formal agreements with our directors for compensation and will be formalized upon consummation of this offering.

 

Director Independence

 

The listing rules of Nasdaq require that independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation, and nominating and governance committees be independent. Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

 

Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with it that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, the Board has determined that no members are “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock by each non-employee director, and any transactions involving them described in the section captioned “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” The Company intends to appoint three independent board members upon the completion of the Offering.

The Board oversees our business and considers the risks associated with our business strategy and decisions. The Board currently implements its risk oversight function as a whole.

Each of the Board committees, when established prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will also provide risk oversight in respect of its areas of concentration and report material risks to the Board for further consideration.

 

Board Committees

 

Upon consummation of this offering, our Board will have established the following three standing committees: audit committee (the “Audit Committee”); compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”); and nominating and governance committee (the “Nominating Committee”).

Upon consummation of this offering, copies of the charters will be available on our website at www.kindlymd.com. Our Board may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

 

The Board may create committees to delegate certain powers to act on behalf of the Board, provided the Board passes a resolution indicating such creation or delegation. The Board may delegate to a committee the power to appoint directors to fill vacancies on the Board. The creation or appointment of a committee does not relieve the Board or its members from their standard of care

The authorized but unissued shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuance without shareholder approval. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions, and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and Preferred Stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Warrants to Be Issued in the Offering

 

Overview. The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Warrants, included in the Units offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Warrant Agent Agreement between us and VStock Transfer, LLC, as Warrant Agent, and the forms of Tradeable Warrant and Non-tradeable Warrant, all of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the Warrant Agent Agreement, including the annexes thereto, and forms of Warrant. The Tradeable Warrant and the Non-tradeable Warrant have identical terms except that (i) unlike the Non-tradeable Warrant, the Tradeable Warrant will be tradeable and will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and (ii) the exercise price per share of Common Stock is $6.33 per share for the Tradeable Warrant and $6.33 per whole share for the Non-tradeable Warrant.

 

Duration. The Warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our Common Stock and the exercise price. The Warrants will be exercisable immediately upon issuance, will be issued separately from the Common Stock and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter. A Warrant to purchase one share of our Common Stock will be issued for every share of Common Stock purchased in this offering.

 

Exercise Price. The exercise price of the Tradeable Warrant is $6.33 per share, which is 115% of the assumed offering price of the Units, and exercise price of the Non-tradeable Warrant is $6.33 per whole share, which is 115% of the assumed offering price of the Units. The exercise price of both the Tradeable Warrants and Non-tradeable Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our Common Stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders.

 

Exercisability. The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will round down to the next whole share.

 

Cashless Exercise. If, at the time a holder exercises its Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Warrants.

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, a Warrant in book entry form may be transferred at the option of the holder through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and Warrants in physical form may be transferred upon surrender of the Warrant to the Warrant Agent together with the appropriate instruments of transfer. Pursuant to a warrant agency agreement between us and the Warrant Agent, the Warrants initially will be issued in book-entry form and will be represented by one or more global certificates deposited with DTC and registered in the name of [●], a nominee of DTC, or as otherwise directed by DTC.

 

Exchange Listing. We have applied for listing our Common Stock and the Tradeable Warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “KDLY” and “KDLYW,” respectively. No assurance can be given that our listing application will be approved.

 

Right as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Common Stock, the holders of the Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our Common Stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Warrants.

 

Fundamental Transaction. In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our shares of Common Stock, then upon any subsequent exercise of a Warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation of our Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a fundamental transaction, the holders of the Warrants have the right to require us or a successor entity to redeem the Warrants for cash in the amount of the Black Scholes Value (as defined in each Warrant) of the unexercised portion of the Warrants concurrently with or within 30 days following the consummation of a fundamental transaction. However, in the event of a fundamental transaction which is not in our control, including a fundamental transaction not approved by our Board, the holders of the Warrants will only be entitled to receive from us or our successor entity, as of the date of consummation of such fundamental transaction the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of the Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of our Common Stock in connection with the fundamental transaction, whether that consideration is in the form of cash, stock or any combination of cash and stock, or whether the holders of our Common Stock are given the choice to receive alternative forms of consideration in connection with the fundamental transaction.

 

Governing Law; and Exclusive Forum. The Warrants and the Warrant Agent Agreement are governed by New York law. The warrant certificates governing the Tradeable Warrants and Non-tradeable Warrants provide that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by the warrant certificate (whether brought against a party to the warrant certificate or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. The warrant certificates further provide that we and the Warrant holders irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute under the warrant certificate or in connection with it or with any transaction contemplated by it or discussed in it. Furthermore, we and the Warrant holders irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that we or they are not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. With respect to any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, we note, however, that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for state and federal courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision in the Warrant certificates expressly does not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. We irrevocably waive any right we may have to, and agree not to request, a jury trial for the adjudication of any dispute under, in connection with, or arising out of the Warrant or any transaction contemplated by the Warrant.

 

Representative Warrants

 

The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part also registers for sale the Representative Warrants, as a portion of the underwriting compensation in connection with this offering. The Representative Warrants will be exercisable for a five-year period commencing on the date of commencement of sales pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part at an exercise price of $6.33 per share (115% of the assumed public offering price per Unit). See “Underwriting” for a description of the Representative Warrants.

Listing

 

We have applied to have our Common Stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “KDLY.” We also have applied to have our Tradeable Warrants listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “KDLY.” We will not proceed with this offering in the event our listing application is not approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Holders

 

On December 7, 2023, there were approximately 55 record holders of our Common Stock.

 

Certain Provisions Potentially Having an Anti-Takeover Effect

 

Several provisions of our Articles and Bylaws, may have anti-takeover effects. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, lessen our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of our board of directors to maximize shareholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us.

 

Control Shares Acquisition Act

 

The Corporation elects to opt out of the provisions of the Control Share Acquisitions Act, UTAH CODE ANN. § 61-6-1, et seq., as they may apply to the Corporation or any transaction involving the Corporation. The provisions of the Control Share Acquisitions Act, UTAH CODE ANN. § 61-6-1, et seq., shall not be applicable to control share acquisition of the securities of the Corporation. This election is made in accordance with the provisions of Utah Code Ann. Section 61-6-1 et seq.

 

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Under the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as of the date of this Registration Statement, each person who is or was a director, officer or employee of registrant shall be indemnified by the registrant to the full extent permitted or authorized by Title 16, Chapter 10a, Part 9 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (“URBCA”), provided that no such indemnification shall be made if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person establishes that his or her acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled, and provided further that no such indemnification shall be required with respect to any settlement or other non-adjudicated disposition of any threatened or pending action or proceeding unless the Company has given its prior consent to such settlement or other disposition.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Articles and Bylaws may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, or upon debt conversion, or the anticipation of these sales, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise capital through sales of equity securities.

 

Upon completion of this offering, we estimate that we will have 5,860,861 outstanding shares of our Common Stock, calculated as of December 7, 2023, assuming no exercise of outstanding options or warrants, if any.

 

Any of the shares held by our directors, officers and holders of at least 10% of the Company’s outstanding securities will be subject to a 6-month lock-up restriction described under “Underwriting” on page 62. Accordingly, there will be a corresponding increase in the number of shares that become eligible for sale after the lock-up period expires. As a result of these agreements, subject to the provisions of Rule 144 or Rule 701, shares will be available for sale in the public market as follows:

 

  beginning on the date of this prospectus, all of the shares sold in this offering will be immediately available for sale in the public market (except as described above);
  beginning six (6) months after this offering is completed, at the expiration of the lock-up period for our officers, directors and holders of at least 10% of the Company’s outstanding securities, 2,971,095 additional shares will become eligible for sale in the public market, all of which shares will be held by affiliates and subject to the volume and other restrictions of Rule 144 and Rule 701 as described below.

  

56

 

 

Sale of Restricted Securities

 

The shares of our Common Stock sold pursuant to this offering will be registered under the Securities Act and therefore freely transferable, except for our affiliates. Our affiliates will be deemed to own “control” securities that are not registered for resale under the registration statement covering this prospectus. Individuals who may be considered our affiliates after this offering include individuals who control, are controlled by or are under common control with us, as those terms generally are interpreted for federal securities law purposes. These individuals may include some or all of our directors and executive officers. Individuals who are our affiliates are not permitted to resell their shares of our Common Stock unless such shares are separately registered under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available, such as Rule 144.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated), including an affiliate, who beneficially owns “restricted securities” (i.e., securities that are not registered by an effective registration statement) of a “reporting company” may not sell these securities until the person has beneficially owned them for at least six months. Thereafter, affiliates may not sell within any three-month period a number of shares in excess of the greater of: (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock as shown by the most recent report or statement published by the issuer; and (ii) the average weekly reported trading volume in such securities during the four preceding calendar weeks.

 

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates will also be subject to restrictions relating to manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about us and may be affected only through unsolicited brokers’ transactions.

 

Persons not deemed to be affiliates who have beneficially owned “restricted securities” for at least six months but for less than one year may sell these securities, provided that current public information about the Company is “available,” which means that, on the date of sale, we have been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days and are current in our Exchange Act filings. After beneficially owning “restricted securities” for one year, our non-affiliates may engage in unlimited re-sales of such securities.

 

Shares received by our affiliates in this offering or upon exercise of stock options or upon vesting of other equity-linked awards may be “control securities” rather than “restricted securities.” “Control securities” are subject to the same volume limitations as “restricted securities” but are not subject to holding period requirements.

 

Rule 701

 

Rule 701 generally allows a stockholder who purchased shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell these shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of the Company to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling such shares pursuant to Rule 701 and until expiration of the lock-up period described below.

 

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Common Stock purchased in this offering, which we refer to collectively as our securities, but is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Code, final, temporary, and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may change, possibly retroactively, resulting in U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences different from those set forth below. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described herein, and we have not obtained, and do not intend to obtain, an opinion of counsel or ruling from the IRS with respect to the U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership, or disposition of our securities.

 

57

 

 

This summary does not address any alternative minimum tax considerations, any considerations regarding the Medicare tax, any considerations regarding the tax on net investment income, or the tax considerations arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction, or under any non-income tax laws, including U.S. federal gift and estate tax laws, except to the limited extent set forth below. In addition, this summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to investors, nor does it address tax considerations applicable to an investor’s particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

 

  banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;
     
  tax-exempt entities or governmental organizations, including agencies or instrumentalities thereof;
     
  regulated investment companies and real estate investment trusts;
     
  controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;
     
  brokers or dealers in securities or currencies;
     
  traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;
     
  persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically set forth below);
     
  tax-qualified retirement plans;
     
  certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;
     
  partnerships or entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and other pass-through entities including S corporations and trusts (and any investors therein);
     
  persons who hold our securities as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction or integrated investment;
     
  persons who do not hold our securities as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code; or
     
  persons deemed to sell our securities under the constructive sale provisions of the Code, or persons holding the securities as part of a “straddle,” hedge, conversion transaction, integrated transaction, or other similar transaction.

 

In addition, if a partnership (or entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our securities, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, partnerships that hold our securities, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their tax advisors.

 

You are urged to consult your own tax advisors with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our securities arising under the U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws or under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S., or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

 

Consequences to U.S. Holders

 

The following is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that will apply to a U.S. holder of our securities. For purposes of this discussion, you are a U.S. holder if, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you are a beneficial owner of our securities, other than a partnership, that is:

 

  an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

 

58

 

 

  a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;
     
  an estate trust whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
     
  a trust (x) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court, and which has one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) which has made a valid election to be treated as a “United States person.”

 

Distributions

 

As described in the section titled “Dividend Policy,” we have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions in cash or other property on our Common Stock, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent our distributions exceed both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will constitute a return of capital that will first reduce your basis in our Common Stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale or other disposition of stock as described below under “—Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock.

 

Dividend income may be taxed to an individual U.S. holder at rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that a minimum holding period and other limitations and requirements are satisfied with certain exemptions. Any dividends that we pay to a U.S. holder that is a corporation will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied, subject to certain limitations. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the holding period and other requirements that must be satisfied in order to qualify for the reduced tax rate on dividends or the dividends-received deduction.

 

Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock

 

A U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of our Common Stock. The amount of gain or loss will equal the difference between the amount realized on the sale and such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Common Stock. The amount realized will include the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received in exchange for such Common Stock. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Common Stock will generally equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost or purchase price, less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital. Gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the Common Stock for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. holders are generally taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

In general, information reporting requirements may apply to dividends paid to a U.S. holder and to the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock, unless the U.S. holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).

 

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

Unearned Income Medicare Tax

 

A 3.8% Medicare contribution tax will generally apply to all or some portion of the net investment income of a U.S. holder that is an individual with adjusted gross income that exceeds a threshold amount ($200,000, or $250,000 if married filing jointly).

 

59

 

 

Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

 

The following is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that will apply to a non-U.S. holder of our securities. A “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of our securities (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is not a U.S. holder. The term “non-U.S. holder” includes:

 

  a non-resident alien individual (other than certain former citizens and residents of the U.S. subject to U.S. tax as expatriates);
     
  a foreign corporation;
     
  an estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder; or
     
  any other Person that is not a U.S. holder.

 

But generally does not include an individual who is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more or who is otherwise treated as a U.S. resident in the taxable year. If you are such an individual, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership or sale or other disposition of our securities.

 

Distributions

 

Subject to the discussion below regarding effectively connected income, any distribution paid to a non-U.S. holder, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles) generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S., will be subject to U.S. withholding tax either at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. In order to receive a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must provide us with an €RS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or other applicable IRS Form W-8 properly certifying qualification for the reduced rate. These forms must be provided prior to the payment of dividends and must be updated periodically. A non-U.S. holder eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty should consult with its individual tax advisor to determine if you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. If a non-U.S. holder holds our securities through a financial institution or other agent acting on the non-U.S. holder’s behalf, the non-U.S. holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to the agent, which then may be required to provide certification to us or our paying agent, either directly or through other intermediaries.

 

Dividends received by a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with its conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) are generally exempt from such withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder satisfies certain certification and disclosure requirements. In order to obtain this exemption, the non-U.S. holder must provide us with an IRS Form W-8ECI or other applicable IRS Form W-8 properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to withholding tax, are taxed at the same graduated U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. holders, net of certain deductions and credits. In addition, dividends received by a corporate non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with its conduct of a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

 

Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Common Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Common Stock, which will be treated as described under “Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock” below.

 

60

 

 

Gain on Sale, Exchange, or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock

 

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and foreign accounts, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of our Common Stock unless:

 

  the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States);
     
  the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or
     
  shares of our Common Stock constitute U.S. real property interests by reason of our status as a “United States real property holding corporation” (a USRPHC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the non-U.S. holder’s disposition of, or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for, our Common Stock (provided that an exception does not apply), and, in the case where shares of our Common Stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our Common Stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of our Common Stock.

 

We believe that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the remainder of this discussion so assumes. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property relative to the fair market value of our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however, as long as our Common Stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, such Common Stock will be treated as U.S. real property interests only if the non-U.S. holder actually or constructively hold more than five percent of such regularly traded Common Stock at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding the non-U.S. holder’s disposition of, or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period for, our Common Stock.

 

If the non-U.S. holder is described in the first bullet above, it will be required to pay tax on the net gain derived from the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates, and a corporate non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above also may be subject to the branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or (in each case) such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. An individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet above will be required to pay a flat 30% tax (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition, which gain may be offset by U.S. source capital losses for the year (provided the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses). Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax or other treaties that may apply.

 

Federal Estate Tax

 

Common Stock beneficially owned by an individual who is not a citizen or resident of the United States (as defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of their death will generally be includable in the decedent’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes. Such shares, therefore, may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

 

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

 

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid to you, your name and address and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report will be sent to you. Pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in your country of residence.

 

61

 

 

A non-U.S. holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a United States person in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The certification procedures required to claim a reduced rate of withholding under a treaty generally will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well for example, by properly certifying your non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E or other applicable IRS Form W-8.Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding and information reporting may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that you are a U.S. person.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

 

Foreign Account Tax Compliance

 

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act generally imposes withholding tax at a rate of 30% on dividends on and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our securities paid to a “foreign financial institution” (as specially defined under these rules), unless any such institution (1) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (2) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which our securities are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of our securities held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (1) certifies to us or the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (2) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this legislation on their investment in our securities.

 

Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of our securities, including the consequences of any proposed changes in applicable laws.

 

UNDERWRITING

 

WallachBeth Capital LLC is acting as the sole book-running manager and representative of the underwriters of this offering (the “Representative”).

The underwriters are committed to purchase all the Units offered by us other than those covered by the option to purchase additional shares described below, if they purchase any shares. The obligations of the underwriters may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the underwriting agreement. Furthermore, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the underwriters’ obligations are subject to customary conditions, representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, such as receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

 

The underwriters are offering the Units, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel and other conditions specified in the underwriting agreement. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

 

Option to Purchase Additional Securities

 

We have granted the Representative of the underwriters an option to purchase from us, at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, up to an additional 190,909 shares of Common Stock and/or 190,909 Tradeable Warrants, and/or 190,909 Non-Tradeable Warrants, in any combination thereof, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, within 45 days from the date of this prospectus to cover over-allotments, if any. If this option is exercised in full, the total offering price to the public will be $1,050,000 and the total net proceeds, before expenses, to us will be $955,500.

 

Discount and Commissions; Expenses

 

The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds, before expenses, to us. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option.

The underwriters propose to offer the Units offered by us to the public at the public offering price per Units set forth on the cover of this prospectus. In addition, the underwriters may offer some of the shares to other securities dealers at such price less a concession of $0.50 per Unit. If all of the Units offered by us are not sold at the public offering price per Unit, the underwriters may change the offering price per share and other selling terms by means of a supplement to this prospectus.

 

We have also agreed to reimburse the underwriters for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed $145,000 in the aggregate whether or not there is a closing of this offering. We estimate that total expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discount will be approximately $219,500. In addition, we have also agreed to pay to the underwriters a non-accountable expense allowance in the amount of 1.0% of the gross offering amount (including shares purchased upon exercise of the over-allotment option).

 

The underwriting agreement, however, provides that in the event the offering is terminated, any advance expense deposits paid to the underwriters will be returned to the extent that offering expenses are not actually incurred in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(C).

Representative’s Warrants

 

We have agreed to issue warrants to the Representative to purchase up to a total of 87,818 shares of Common Stock equal to (6%) of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Units sold in this offering. We are registering hereby the issuance of the Representative Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants. The Representative Warrants will be exercisable as of the date of the commencement of sales of the offering and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G). The Representative Warrants will be exercisable at a price equal to 115% of the public offering price in connection with this offering. The Representative Warrants shall not be redeemable. The Representative Warrants may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days beginning on the date of commencement of sales of the offering, except as provided for in FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Representative Warrants may be assigned, in whole or in part, to any officer, manager or member of the Representative (or to officers, managers or members of any such successor or member), and to members of the underwriting syndicate or selling group. The Representative Warrants may be exercised as to all or a lesser number of shares of common stock for a period of five (5) years following the commencement of sales of the offering, will provide for cashless exercise and will contain provisions for one demand registration of the sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock, provided, there is no effective registration statement for such shares, at the Company’s expense, and unlimited “piggyback” registration rights at the Company’s expense. The sole demand registration right provided at the issuer’s expense will not be greater than five (5) years from the commencement of sales of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C).

Pricing of this Offering

 

Prior to this offering, there has not been an active market for our common stock. The public offering price for our common stock will be determined through negotiations between us and the underwriters. Among the factors to be considered in these negotiations will be prevailing market conditions, our financial information, market valuations of other companies that we and the underwriters believe to be comparable to us, estimates of our business potential, the present state of our development and other factors deemed relevant.

 

We offer no assurances that the public offering price of our common stock will correspond to the price at which our common stock will trade in the public market subsequent to this offering or that an active trading market for our common stock and warrants will develop and continue after this offering.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

We and each of our officers, directors, and 10% or greater stockholders have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock for a period of six months after this offering is completed without the prior written consent of the Representative.

 

The Representative may in its sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the representative will consider, among other factors, the security holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

 

Trading; Nasdaq Capital Market Listing

 

We intend to apply to list our common stock and Tradeable Warrants offered in the offering on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “KDLY” and “KDLYW,” respectively. No assurance can be given that our listing application will be approved by the Nasdaq Capital Market. The consummation of this offering is conditioned on obtaining Nasdaq approval.

 

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act:

 

  Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
     
  Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of securities in excess of the number of securities the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of securities over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of securities that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of securities involved is greater than the number of securities in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising its over-allotment option and/or purchasing securities in the open market.
     
  Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of securities to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through the over-allotment option. A naked short position occurs if the underwriters sell more securities than could be covered by the over-allotment option. This position can only be closed out by buying securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.
     
  Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when securities originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

 

65

 

 

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of our shares of common stock and warrants may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

 

Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our shares of common stock and warrants. In addition, neither we nor the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that any transaction, if commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

 

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Shares

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by the Representative and may also be made available on a website maintained by other underwriters. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the Representative to underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. In connection with the offering, the underwriters or syndicate members may distribute prospectuses electronically. No forms of electronic prospectus other than prospectuses that are printable as Adobe® PDF will be used in connection with this offering.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Kindly MD, Inc.:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kindly MD, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ and member’s equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

Kindly MD, Inc.

(Formerly Utah Therapeutic Health Center LLC)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2022 and 2021

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Kindly MD, Inc. (“KindlyMD” or “the Company”) was formed on December 2, 2019. The Company filed their original articles of organization in the State of Utah under the name Utah Therapeutic Health Center, PLLC. The Company is located in Salt Lake City, Utah and is a healthcare and healthcare data company, focused on holistic pain management and aiding in the fight against the opioid epidemic.

 

In April 2020, the Company converted from a PLLC to an LLC. In March 2022, the Company converted from an LLC to a corporation and changed its name to “Kindly MD, Inc.” In July 2022, the Company amended its articles of incorporation, including the addition of stock and authorized common shares.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Unites States of America (“GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents that exceeded the $250,000 federally insured limits.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606. This Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer purchase orders, including significant judgments.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from: (i) medical evaluation and treatment, (ii) education partnerships, (vi) online and email campaign marketing revenue, (iii) service affiliate agreements, and (iv) retail sales.

 

We recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, or when services are rendered to the patient, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.

 

F-7

 

 

  1. For medical evaluation and treatment, revenue is recognized upon completion of the service and payment of the patient’s obligation under the contract or agreement to receive treatment.
     
  2. For education partnerships, online and email campaign marketing revenue, and service affiliate agreements, revenue is recognized when the contract has approval and collectability is probable.
     
  3. For retail sales, revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment for distinct goods.

 

The Company recognizes revenue after the transaction and/or service price has been allocated and when it satisfies the performance obligation. Usually, there is only a single performance obligation in the sale and service, and therefore the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. This typically occurs at a point in time when products and or services are rendered, delivered, or shipped.

 

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer or patient and is the unit of account in the revenue standard. The contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For the Company’s different revenue service types, the performance obligation is satisfied at different times.

 

The Company’s performance obligations include providing products and professional services. The Company recognizes product revenue performance obligations in most cases when the product has shipped to the customer. When we perform professional service work, we recognize revenue when we have the right to invoice the customer for the work completed, which typically occurs on an interaction basis for the work performed during any particular billable interaction.

 

All revenue recognized on the Statement or Operations are considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue is typically deposits for services scheduled to be delivered at a future date. Amounts are recognized only when services are delivered as per the Revenue Recognition policy above.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables in the normal course of business. The Company historically collects substantially all its trade receivables from customers and bad debt expense at the point of service and bad debt expense has been historically immaterial to the financial statements. Uncollectible balances are expensed in the period they are determined to be uncollectible.

 

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure trade receivable are not overstated due to non-collectability. The Company’s allowance is based on a variety of factors, including age of the receivable, significant one-time events, historical experience, and other risk considerations. The Company had an allowance at December 31, 2022 and 2021 of $45,689 and $0, respectively. The Company had bad debt expense of $59,639 and $1,371 for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is set at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventory is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. An allowance is made for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. In determining excess or obsolescence reserves for its products, the Company considers assumptions such as changes in business and economic conditions, other-than-temporary decreases in demand for its products, and changes in technology or customer requirements. In determining the lower of cost or net realizable value reserves, the Company considers assumptions such as recent historical sales activity and selling prices, as well as estimates of future selling prices. The Company fully reserves for inventories deemed obsolete.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at the historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated life of the leasehold improvements. Expected useful lives of property and equipment vary but generally are 3 years for computer hardware and software, and 5-7 years for medical equipment.

 

F-8

 

 

Long-lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When projections indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable, the carrying value is reduced by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the fair value. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets as determined by projected discounted net future cashflows.

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842. The Company determines whether a contract is a lease at contract inception or for a modified contract at the modification date. At inception or modification, the Company recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and related lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases greater than one year in duration. Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments as of the lease commencement date. If the lease contains a renewal and/or termination option, the exercise of the option is included in the term of the lease if the Company is reasonably certain that a renewal or termination option will be exercised. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) based on the information available at the commencement date of the respective lease to determine the present value of future payments. The IBR is determined by estimating what it would cost the Company to borrow a collateralized amount equal to the total lease payments over the lease term based on the contractual terms of the lease and the location of the leased asset.

 

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in equal amounts of rent expense attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is typically represented as the spread between the ROU asset and lease liability.

 

When calculating the present value of minimum lease payments, we account for leases as one single lease component if a lease has both lease and non-lease fixed cost components. Variable lease and non-lease cost components are expensed as incurred. We do not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have an initial lease term of 12 months or less. We recognize the lease payments associated with short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Income Taxes

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company was a limited liability entity, and any income or losses were passed directly to the members who assume their own tax liabilities. The company converted from an LLC to a Corporation in March 2022. The Company is subject to income taxes in Utah. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized and have evaluated the realizability of the deferred tax assets and determined that they are fully realizable. It is important to note that the tax laws and regulations governing the calculation of income taxes are complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, the ultimate tax liability may differ from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The Company regularly assesses its tax positions and adjusts the amounts recorded as necessary.

 

The Company incurred a net loss before income taxes in the current year, resulting in no provision for income taxes being recorded. As of December 31, 2022, the Company concluded that a full valuation allowance was necessary for all of its net deferred tax assets. The Company had no amounts recorded for uncertain tax positions, interest or penalties in the accompanying financial statements. The Company regularly assesses its tax positions and adjusts amounts recorded as necessary to ensure compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are concentrated primarily in banks or credit unions. At times, such deposits could be in excess of insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s financial instruments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk is believed to exist with respect to these financial instruments.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company calculates earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 260. The computation of Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS accounts for the potential dilution from securities that could be converted into common stock. It is calculated in the same manner as Basic EPS, but includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, convertible shares, and debt. In the event of a net loss, diluted EPS is equivalent to basic EPS as dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Please note that EPS may not fully represent our cash generation capacity. It should be considered alongside other financial measures provided in our financial statements.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature. The fair value hierarchy is defined in the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

F-9

 

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no financial assets or liabilities that required disclosure.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged in China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s continued effect on our operational and financial performance and those of third parties on which the Company relies will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, the pace at which jurisdictions across the country re-open and restrictions begin to lift. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on its business and financing. However, these effects could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which the Company relies.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. This ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our combined financial statements.

 

The Company has reviewed all other FASB-issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates during the period reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous GAAP and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

NOTE 6 –LEASES

 

We have leases for office space. The real property leases typically are for two-to-five year terms with many containing options for similar renewal periods.

 

KindlyMD recently executed a four-year lease for 5,321 square feet of clinic and office space in Murray Utah. This expansion complements our existing clinic location in Millcreek Utah and offers eight more exam and consultation rooms to our local clinical capacity. It also allowed KindlyMD to consolidate a smaller location into a larger location, which will improve the cost-per-patient-visit ratio. We anticipate this expansion to increase revenue opportunity by up to $270,000 per month in the summer of 2023. This additional space coincides with the expansion of services offering to occur in the fall of 2022 to include medication management and imbedded behavioral health services for patients.

 

The Company also operates clinics located at the following locations:

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

 

As of December 31, 2022 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $966,438, giving rise to a deferred tax asset of $250,781 that has been fully allowed for.

 

Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income to offset the tax items that will be deductible in the future. Although realization is not assured, Management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance on December 31, 2022 to allow against all deferred tax assets.

The tax provision differs from amounts that would be calculated by applying federal statutory rates to income before income taxes primarily because no tax benefits have been recorded for nondeductible expenses totaling $1,953,920. Deferred tax liabilities recognized for taxable temporary differences total $84,403. Deferred tax assets recognized for deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards total $250,781. The Company has the following carryforwards available at December 31, 2022: Operating Losses in the amount of $966,438 that expire indefinitely.

 

The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2022, and there are no significant tax audits or disputes in progress. The Company has not made any payments for tax liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2022. It is important to note that tax laws and regulations are complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, the ultimate tax liability may differ from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The Company regularly assesses its tax positions and adjusts the amounts recorded as necessary to ensure compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Kindly MD, Inc. (“KindlyMD” or “the Company”) was formed on December 2, 2019. The Company filed their original articles of organization in the State of Utah under the name Utah Therapeutic Health Center, PLLC. The Company is located in Salt Lake City, Utah and is a healthcare and healthcare data company, focused on holistic pain management and aiding in the fight against the opioid epidemic.

 

In April 2020, the Company converted from a PLLC to an LLC. In March 2022, the Company converted from an LLC to a corporation and changed its name to “Kindly MD, Inc.” In July 2022, the Company amended its articles of incorporation, including the addition of stock and authorized common shares.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Unites States of America (“GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2023, the Company had no cash equivalents that exceeded the $250,000 federally insured limits.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606. This Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer purchase orders, including significant judgments.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from: (i) medical evaluation and treatment, (ii) education partnerships, (vi) online and email campaign marketing revenue, (iii) service affiliate agreements, and (iv) retail sales.

 

We recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, or when services are rendered to the patient, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable.

 

  1. For medical evaluation and treatment, revenue is recognized upon completion of the service and payment of the patient’s obligation under the contract or agreement to receive treatment.
     
  2. For education partnerships, online and email campaign marketing revenue, and service affiliate agreements, revenue is recognized when the contract has approval and collectability is probable.
     
  3. For retail sales, revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment for distinct goods.

 

The Company recognizes revenue after the transaction and/or service price has been allocated and when it satisfies the performance obligation. Usually, there is only a single performance obligation in the sale and service, and therefore the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. This typically occurs at a point in time when products and or services are rendered, delivered, or shipped.

 

Performance Obligations

 

A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer or patient and is the unit of account in the revenue standard. The contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For the Company’s different revenue service types, the performance obligation is satisfied at different times.

 

The Company’s performance obligations include providing products and professional services. The Company recognizes product revenue performance obligations in most cases when the product has shipped to the customer. When we perform professional service work, we recognize revenue when we have the right to invoice the customer for the work completed, which typically occurs on an interaction basis for the work performed during any particular billable interaction.

 

F-18

 

 

All revenue recognized on the Statement or Operations are considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue is typically deposits for services scheduled to be delivered at a future date. Amounts are recognized only when services are delivered as per the Revenue Recognition policy above.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables in the normal course of business. The Company historically collects substantially all its trade receivables from customers and bad debt expense at the point of service and bad debt expense has been historically immaterial to the financial statements. Uncollectible balances are expensed in the period they are determined to be uncollectible.

 

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure trade receivable are not overstated due to non-collectability. The Company’s allowance is based on a variety of factors, including age of the receivable, significant one-time events, historical experience, and other risk considerations.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is set at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventory is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. An allowance is made for the estimated losses due to obsolescence. In determining excess or obsolescence reserves for its products, the Company considers assumptions such as changes in business and economic conditions, other-than-temporary decreases in demand for its products, and changes in technology or customer requirements. In determining the lower of cost or net realizable value reserves, the Company considers assumptions such as recent historical sales activity and selling prices, as well as estimates of future selling prices. The Company fully reserves for inventories deemed obsolete.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at the historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated life of the leasehold improvements. Expected useful lives of property and equipment vary but generally are 3 years for computer hardware and software, and 5-7 years for medical equipment.

  

Long-lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When projections indicate that the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable, the carrying value is reduced by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the fair value. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets as determined by projected discounted net future cashflows.

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842. The Company determines whether a contract is a lease at contract inception or for a modified contract at the modification date. At inception or modification, the Company recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and related lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases greater than one year in duration. Lease liabilities and their corresponding ROU assets are initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments as of the lease commencement date. If the lease contains a renewal and/or termination option, the exercise of the option is included in the term of the lease if the Company is reasonably certain that a renewal or termination option will be exercised. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) based on the information available at the commencement date of the respective lease to determine the present value of future payments. The IBR is determined by estimating what it would cost the Company to borrow a collateralized amount equal to the total lease payments over the lease term based on the contractual terms of the lease and the location of the leased asset.

 

F-19

 

 

Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term in equal amounts of rent expense attributed to each period during the term of the lease, regardless of when actual payments are made. This generally results in rent expense in excess of cash payments during the early years of a lease and rent expense less than cash payments in later years. The difference between rent expense recognized and actual rental payments is typically represented as the spread between the ROU asset and lease liability.

 

When calculating the present value of minimum lease payments, we account for leases as one single lease component if a lease has both lease and non-lease fixed cost components. Variable lease and non-lease cost components are expensed as incurred. We do not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have an initial lease term of 12 months or less. We recognize the lease payments associated with short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Income Taxes

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company was a limited liability entity, and any income or losses were passed directly to the members who assume their own tax liabilities. The Company converted from an LLC to a Corporation in March 2022. The Company is subject to income taxes in Utah. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized and have evaluated the realizability of the deferred tax assets and determined that they are fully realizable. It is important to note that the tax laws and regulations governing the calculation of income taxes are complex and subject to interpretation. As a result, the ultimate tax liability may differ from the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The Company regularly assesses its tax positions and adjusts the amounts recorded as necessary.

 

The Company incurred a net loss before income taxes in the current year, resulting in no provision for income taxes being recorded. As of September 30, 2023, the Company concluded that a full valuation allowance was necessary for all of its net deferred tax assets. The Company had no amounts recorded for uncertain tax positions, interest or penalties in the accompanying financial statements. The Company regularly assesses its tax positions and adjusts amounts recorded as necessary to ensure compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are concentrated primarily in banks or credit unions. At times, such deposits could be in excess of insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s financial instruments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk is believed to exist with respect to these financial instruments.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company calculates earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 260. The computation of Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS accounts for the potential dilution from securities that could be converted into common stock. It is calculated in the same manner as Basic EPS, but includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, convertible shares, and debt. In the event of a net loss, diluted EPS is equivalent to basic EPS as dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Please note that EPS may not fully represent our cash generation capacity. It should be considered alongside other financial measures provided in our financial statements. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company had 3,000 and 0 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature. The fair value hierarchy is defined in the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. As of September 30, 2023, there were no financial assets or liabilities that required disclosure.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged in China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s continued effect on our operational and financial performance and those of third parties on which the Company relies will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, the pace at which jurisdictions across the country re-open and restrictions begin to lift. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on its business and financing. However, these effects could have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, operations and business and those of the third parties on which the Company relies.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all FASB-issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates during the period reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous GAAP and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDER’S AND MEMBER’S EQUITY

 

The Company has a total of 110,000,000 shares authorized, consisting of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.001 per share and 100,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value $0.001 per share.

 

Preferred Stock - As of September 30, 2023, no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.

 

Common Stock - As of September 30, 2023, 4,588,134 shares were issued and outstanding. The common stockholders are entitled to one vote per share and are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the board of directors.

 

The Company has granted stock to employees and directors. The fair value of each award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award.

 

During the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2023, the Company issued 153,538 restricted shares of common stock for services and compensation valued at $712,119.

 

Stock Options - Stock options are exercisable for periods not to exceed 10 years and vest and contain such other terms and conditions as specified in the applicable award document. Stock options granted with service conditions generally vest over three to five years, with 25% of the option shares vesting one year from the vesting commencement date and then ratably on a monthly basis over the following 36 months. Stock option activity for the periods presented is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the shares underlying common stock.

 

No stock options were granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $0.

 

The fair value of each option award granted is estimated on the grant date. The grant date fair value of options with service and performance-based vesting conditions is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, risk-free interest rates, and the dividend yield of our common stock. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the option awards represent the Company’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment. The related stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally three years.

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model assumptions used in evaluating our awards to employees are as follows:

 

  

For The Nine

Months Ended

September 30, 2023

 
Expected Term (Years)   3.5 
Expected Volatility   134%

In September 2023, the Company granted 3,000 non-qualified stock options without vesting conditions to our consulting Medical Director. The related stock-based compensation expense is being recognized over the remaining period of 3.5 years.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

We are a Utah corporation and are governed by the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the “URBCA”).

 

The Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the “URBCA”) provides, in pertinent part, as follows:

 

Except as otherwise provided in the URBCA, a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director of the corporation against liability incurred in the proceeding if:

 

His conduct was in good faith.
He reasonably believed that his conduct was in, or not opposed to, the corporation’s best interests.
In the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

However, a corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with either:

 

A proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was determined to be liable to the corporation.
Any other proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit (whether or not the proceeding involved action in the director’s official capacity), in which proceeding the director was determined to be liable on the basis that the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

A corporation may pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of a final disposition if:

 

The director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the applicable standard of conduct described in Section 16-10a-902 of the Utah Code.
The director furnishes to the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the standard of conduct.
A determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification.

 

A corporation must indemnify a director who was successful in the defense of any proceeding or claim to which the director was a party because of the director’s status as a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred in defending the proceeding or claim for which the director was successful.

 

Unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise:

 

An officer of a corporation is entitled to mandatory indemnification to the same extent as a director of the corporation.
A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation to the same extent as to a director.
A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent who is not a director to a greater extent than to a director. However, this must be consistent with public policy and provided for in the corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, action of its board of directors, or contract.

 

Provided the director complies with the standard of care described in the Bylaws and Section 16-10a-840 of the URBCA, the Corporation shall indemnify any director made a party to a proceeding, brought or threatened, as a consequence of the director acting in their official capacity. In the event a director is entitled to indemnification by the Corporation, the director shall be indemnified pursuant to the process outlined in Title 16, Chapter 10a, Part 9 of the URBCA.

 

Each director is required, individually and collectively, to act in good faith, with reasonable and prudent care, and in the best interest of the Corporation. If a director acts in accordance with Section 16-10a-840 of the URBCA, then they shall be immune from liability arising from official acts on behalf of the Corporation.

 

Directors who fail to comply with Section 16-10a-840 of the URBCA shall be personally liable to the Corporation, pursuant to Section 16-10a-842 of the Act, for any improper distributions and as otherwise described in Section 16-10a-841 of the URBCA and KindlyMD’s Bylaws.

Item 15: Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Item 17. Undertakings

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

 

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of KindlyMD, Inc. pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Kindly MD, Inc. has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by KindlyMD, Inc. of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of KindlyMD, Inc. in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, KindlyMD, Inc. will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(c) The undersigned hereby further undertakes that:

 

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by KindlyMD, Inc. pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. The selling stockholders named in this prospectus may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is declared effective.

Subject to Completion, dated December 7, 2023

 

PROSPECTUS

 

KINDLY MD, INC.

 

1,617,039 Shares of Common Stock

 

The selling stockholders plan to sell an aggregate of up to 1,617,039 shares of common stock.

 

The selling stockholders must sell their shares at a fixed price per share of $5.50, which is the per share price of the shares being offered in our initial public offering, until such time as our shares are listed on a national securities exchange. Thereafter, the shares offered by this prospectus may be sold by the selling stockholders from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or a combination of these methods, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. By separate prospectus (the “IPO Prospectus”), we have registered an aggregate of 1,272,727 shares of our common stock which we are offering for sale to the public through our underwriters, excluding any shares issuable upon the underwriters’ over-allotment option.

 

We have applied to have our common stock listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “KDLY” which listing is a condition to this offering.

 

The distribution of the shares by the selling stockholders is not subject to any underwriting agreement. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders. We will bear all expenses of registration incurred in connection with this offering, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the selling stockholders will be borne by them.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” under the federal securities laws and have elected to be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. An investment in our common stock may be considered speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial loss of your investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10 to read about the risks you should consider before buying shares of our common stock. An investment in our common stock is not suitable for all investors.

 

Sales of the shares of our common stock registered in this prospectus and the IPO Prospectus will result in two offerings taking place concurrently which might affect price, demand, and liquidity of our common stock.

 

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or amendment. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. This prospectus may only be used where it is legal to sell these securities. The information in this prospectus is only accurate on the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of any sale of securities.

 

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

 

The date of this prospectus is December 7, 2023

 

 
 

 

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Concurrent with this offering, the Company is registering shares of common stock in connection with an initial public offering of 1,272,727 shares of our common stock through the underwriters (excluding 190,909 shares which may be sold upon exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option). Sales by stockholders that purchased shares in our common stock from the initial public offering may reduce the price of our common stock, demand for our shares and, as a result, the liquidity of your investment.

The selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by them for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by them in disposing of the shares.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders identified herein of up to an aggregate of 1,617,039 shares of our common stock (the “Resale Shares”).

 

The transactions by which the selling stockholders acquired their securities from us were exempt under the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

 

The Resale Shares referred to above are being registered to permit public sales of the Resale Shares, and the selling stockholders may offer the shares for resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders may also sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of their shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to another effective registration statement covering those shares.

 

The table below sets forth certain information regarding the selling stockholders and the Resale Shares offered in this prospectus. The selling stockholders have had no material relationship with us within the past three years other than as described in the footnotes to the table below or as a result of their acquisition of our shares or other securities.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. The selling stockholder’s percentage of ownership of our outstanding shares in the table below is based upon 4,588,134 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 7, 2023.

(1) Under applicable SEC rules, a person is deemed to beneficially own securities which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days through the exercise of any option or warrant or through the conversion of a convertible security. Also under applicable SEC rules, a person is deemed to be the “beneficial owner” of a security with regard to which the person directly or indirectly, has or shares (a) voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or (b) investment power, which includes the power to dispose, or direct the disposition, of the security, in each case, irrespective of the person’s economic interest in the security. To our knowledge, subject to community property laws where applicable, each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by such selling stockholder, except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table.

 

(2) Represents the amount of shares that will be held by the selling stockholder after completion of this offering based on the assumptions that (a) all Resale Shares registered for sale by the registration statement of which this prospectus is part will be sold and (b) no other shares of our common stock are acquired or sold by the selling stockholder prior to completion of this offering. However, each selling stockholder may sell all, some or none of the Resale Shares offered pursuant to this prospectus and may sell other shares of our common stock that they may own pursuant to another registration statement under the Securities Act or sell some or all of their shares pursuant to an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, including under Rule 144.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their Resale Shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. If the Resale Shares are sold through underwriters, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The Resale Shares may be sold in one or more transactions at a price of $5.50 per share until our shares are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
     
  privately negotiated transactions;
     
  settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
     
  in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
     
  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  a combination of any such methods of sale; or
     
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months, in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding the sale.

 

 
 

 

The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the Resale Shares by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of the Resale Shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the Resale Shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.

 

In connection with the sale of the Resale Shares, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of our common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell Resale Shares short and deliver shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge the Resale Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Resale Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Resale Shares from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders also may transfer the Resale Shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the Resale Shares from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the Resale Shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Resale Shares may be deemed to be an “Underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, such broker-dealers or agents and any profit realized on the Resale Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the Resale Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of Resale Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers. Under the securities laws of some states, the Resale Shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Resale Shares may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the Resale Shares registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Resale Shares. None of the selling stockholders who are affiliates of broker-dealers, other than the initial purchasers in private transactions, purchased the Resale Shares outside of the ordinary course of business or, at the time of the purchase of the Resale Shares, had any agreements, plans or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

 
 

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the Resale Shares. Except as provided for indemnification of the selling stockholders, we are not obligated to pay any of the expenses of any attorney or other advisor engaged by a selling stockholder. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of the Resale Shares, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the Resale Shares, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the Resale Shares and activities of the selling stockholders, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Resale Shares by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Resale Shares to engage in passive market-making activities with respect to the Resale Shares. Passive market making involves transactions in which a market maker acts as both our underwriter and as a purchaser of our common stock in the secondary market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Resale Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Resale Shares.

 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the Resale Shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive proceeds from sales of the Resale Shares made under this prospectus.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

There currently is no public market for our common stock. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at a price of $5.50 per share until our shares are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. See “Plan of Distribution” above for more information.

As Representative of the Several Underwriters Named on Schedule I hereto

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

KINDLY MD, INC., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell to the underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters,” or each, an “Underwriter”), for whom WallachBeth Capital LLC is acting as Representative (the “Representative”), an aggregate of 1,272,727 Units (the “Firm Units”), each Firm Unit consisting of: (i) one share of the Company’s common stock, with no par value per share (the “Common Stock”); (ii) one tradeable warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Firm Tradeable Warrants”); and, one non-tradeable warrant to purchase one-half of one share of common stock (the “Firm Non-tradeable Warrants” and together with the Firm Tradeable Warrants, the “Firm Warrants”). The 1,272,727 shares of Common Stock referred to in this Section are hereinafter referred to as the “Firm Shares” together with the Firm Units and the Firm Warrants, the “Firm Securities.” The Firm Warrants shall be issued pursuant to and shall have the rights and privileges set forth in, a warrant agent agreement, dated on or before the Closing Date, between the Company and VStock Transfer, LLC, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”). The Company also proposes to grant to the Underwriters, upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, an option (the “Over-allotment Option”) to purchase up to an additional 190,909 shares of Common Stock, representing up to fifteen percent (15%) of the Firm Shares sold in the offering (the “Option Shares”), and/or tradeable warrants at a price of $6.33 per tradeable warrant (the “Option Tradeable Warrants”), and/or 190,909 non-tradeable warrants at $6.33 per non-tradeable warrant (the “Option Non-tradeable Warrants” and together with the Option Tradeable Warrants, the “Option Warrants”), or any combination thereof, in each case for the purpose of covering over-allotments of such securities, if any. The Over-allotment Option is, at the Underwriters’ sole discretion, for Option Shares and Option Warrants together, solely Option Shares, solely Option Tradeable Warrants, solely Option Non-tradeable Warrants, or any combination thereof (each, an “Option Security” and collectively, the “Option Securities”). The Firm Securities and the Option Securities are collectively referred to as the “Securities.” The Securities shall be issued directly by the Company and shall have the rights and privileges described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus (as defined below). The offering and sale of the Securities is herein referred to as the “Offering.” The Units have no stand-alone rights or obligations and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The shares of Common Stock, the tradeable warrant and non-tradeable warrant comprising the Units are immediately separable and will be issued separately at the closing.

 

In addition, the Company shall pay the Representative an aggregate cash discount equal to nine percent (9%) of the aggregate sales price of securities sold in the Offering plus one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate sales price of securities sold in the Offering. In addition, the Company shall issue to the Representative that number of warrants equal to six percent (6%) of the number of securities of common stock sold in the Offering.

(xii) Intellectual Property. The Company owns or possesses or has valid rights to use all patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, trade names, trademark registrations, service mark registrations, copyrights, licenses, inventions, trade secrets and similar rights (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary for the conduct of the business of the Company as currently carried on and as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus. To the knowledge of the Company, no action or use by the Company necessary for the conduct of its business as currently carried on and as described in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus will involve or give rise to any infringement of, or license or similar fees for, any Intellectual Property Rights of others. The Company has not received any notice alleging any such infringement, fee or conflict with asserted Intellectual Property Rights of others. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect (A) to the knowledge of the Company, there is no infringement, misappropriation or violation by third parties of any of the Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Company; (B) there is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the rights of the Company in or to any such Intellectual Property Rights, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim, that would, individually or in the aggregate, together with any other claims in this Section 3(a)(xii), reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; (C) the Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, the Intellectual Property Rights licensed to the Company have not been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the validity or scope of any such Intellectual Property Rights, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim that would, individually or in the aggregate, together with any other claims in this Section 3(a)(xii) reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; (D) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights of others, the Company has not received any written notice of such claim and the Company is unaware of any other facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim that would, individually or in the aggregate, together with any other claims in this Section 3(a)(xii), reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (E) to the Company’s knowledge, no employee of the Company is in or has ever been in violation in any material respect of any term of any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement, invention assignment agreement, non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement, nondisclosure agreement or any restrictive covenant to or with a former employer where the basis of such violation relates to such employee’s employment with the Company, or actions undertaken by the employee while employed with the Company and could reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge, all material technical information developed by and belonging to the Company which has not been patented has been kept confidential. The Company is not a party to or bound by any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights of any other person or entity that are required to be set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus and are not described therein. The Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus contain in all material respects the same description of the matters set forth in the preceding sentence. None of the technology employed by the Company has been obtained or is being used by the Company in violation of any contractual obligation binding on the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its officers, directors or employees, or otherwise in violation of the rights of any persons. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no prior art or public or commercial activity that may render any patent included in the Intellectual Property Rights invalid or that would preclude the issuance of any patent on any patent application included in the Intellectual Property which has not been disclosed to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the relevant foreign patent authority, as the case may be. The Company has not, and to the Company’s knowledge, no third party has, committed any act or omitted to undertake any act the effect of such commission or omission would reasonably be expected to result in a legal determination that any item of Intellectual Property Rights thereby was rendered invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part. The manufacture, use and sale of the products or product candidates described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus as under development by the Company fall within the scope of one or more claims of the patents or patent applications included in the Intellectual Property Rights. Other than information disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, no government funding, facilities or resources of a university, college, other educational institution or research center was used in the development of any Intellectual Property Rights that are owned or purported to be owned by the Company that would confer upon any governmental agency or body, university, college, other educational institution or research center any claim or right in or to any such Intellectual Property Rights.

 

(xiii) Employment Matters. There is (A) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against the Company, nor to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against it, before the National Labor Relations Board, any state or local labor relation board or any foreign labor relations board, and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is so pending against the Company, or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against it and (B) no labor disturbance by the employees of the Company exists or, to the Company’s knowledge, is imminent, and the Company is not aware of any existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of its principal suppliers, manufacturers, customers or contractors, that could reasonably be expected, singularly or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not aware that any key employee or significant group of employees of the Company plans to terminate employment with the Company.

 

 

 

 

(xiv) ERISA Compliance. No “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, including the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”)) or “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) or any of the events set forth in Section 4043(b) of ERISA (other than events with respect to which the thirty (30)-day notice requirement under Section 4043 of ERISA has been waived) has occurred or could reasonably be expected to occur with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Company which would reasonably be expected to, singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Each employee benefit plan of the Company is in compliance in all material respects with applicable law, including ERISA and the Code. The Company has not incurred and could not reasonably be expected to incur liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to the termination of, or withdrawal from, any pension plan (as defined in ERISA). Each pension plan for which the Company would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified, and, to the Company’s knowledge, nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which could, singularly or in the aggregate, cause the loss of such qualification.

 

(xv) Environmental Matters. The Company is in compliance with all foreign, federal, state and local rules, laws and regulations relating to the use, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or waste and protection of health and safety or the environment which are applicable to their businesses, except where the failure to comply has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, singularly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no storage, generation, transportation, handling, treatment, disposal, discharge, emission, or other release of any kind of toxic or other wastes or other hazardous substances by, due to, or caused by the Company (or, to the Company’s knowledge, any other entity for whose acts or omissions the Company is or may otherwise be liable) upon any of the property now or previously owned or leased by the Company, or upon any other property, in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit or which would, under any law, statute, ordinance, rule (including rule of common law), regulation, order, judgment, decree or permit, give rise to any liability, except for any violation or liability which has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, singularly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and there has been no disposal, discharge, emission or other release of any kind onto such property or into the environment surrounding such property of any toxic or other wastes or other hazardous substances with respect to which the Company has knowledge.

 

(xvi) SOX Compliance.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of such Underwriter), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, any Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, any Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof, which written information is described in Section 7(f), and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with evaluating, investigating, and defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The obligation of each Underwriter to indemnify the Company (including any controlling person, director or officer thereof) shall be limited to the amount of the underwriting discount applicable to the Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter hereunder actually received by such Underwriter.

 

 

 

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent such indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (ii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), or (iii) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ a single counsel to represent it in any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 7, in which event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties and reimbursed to the indemnified party as incurred.

 

The indemnifying party under this Section 7 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a party or could be named and indemnity was or would be sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering and sale of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties’ relevant intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d). The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim that is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the underwriting discount applicable to the Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter hereunder actually received by such Underwriter. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

 

 

 

 

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and the benefits of such obligations shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and the obligations of each Underwriter under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability that each Underwriter may otherwise have and the benefits of such obligations shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to the Company and its officers, directors and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.

 

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, each Underwriter severally confirms, and the Company acknowledges, that there is no information concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by such Underwriter specifically for preparation of or inclusion in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, any Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, other than the statement set forth in the last paragraph on the cover page of the Prospectus, the marketing and legal names of each Underwriter, and the statements set forth in the “Underwriting” section of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, and the Final Prospectus only insofar as such statements relate to the amount of selling concession and re-allowance, if any, or to over-allotment, stabilization and related activities that may be undertaken by such Underwriter.

 

8. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company contained herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto, including, but not limited to, the agreements of the several Underwriters and the Company contained in Section 5(a)(viii) and Section 7 hereof, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the several Underwriters or any controlling person thereof, or the Company or any of its officers, directors, or controlling persons, and shall survive delivery of, and payment for, the Shares to and by the Underwriters hereunder.

 

9. Termination of this Agreement.

 

(a) The Representative shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Company as hereinafter specified at any time at or prior to the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date (as to the Option Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date only), if in the discretion of the Representative, (i) there has occurred any material adverse change in the securities markets or any event, act or occurrence that has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Representative, will in the future materially disrupt, the securities markets or there shall be such a material adverse change in general financial, political or economic conditions or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Shares or enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares (ii) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or Nasdaq or trading in securities generally on Nasdaq, the NYSE or the NYSE American shall have been suspended, (iii) minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required, on Nasdaq, the NYSE or NYSE American, by such exchange or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction, (iv) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by federal or state authorities, (v) there shall have occurred any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States any declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, any substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States or other international political, financial or economic conditions or any other calamity or crisis, or (vi) the Company suffers any loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or (vii) in the judgment of the Representative, there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, any material adverse change in the assets, properties, condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of operations, business affairs or business prospects of the Company, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 5(a)(viii) and Section 7 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination.

 

 

 

 

(b) If the Representative elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 9, the Company and the other Underwriters shall be notified promptly by the Representative by telephone, confirmed by letter.

 

(c) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any of its provisions, the Company shall not be under any liability to any Underwriter, and no Underwriter shall be under any liability to the Company, except that (y) subject to a maximum reimbursement of $145,000, the Company will reimburse the Representative only for all actual, accountable out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel) reasonably incurred by the Representative in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities or in contemplation of performing their obligations hereunder and (z) no Underwriter who shall have failed or refused to purchase the Securities agreed to be purchased by it under this Agreement, without some reason sufficient hereunder to justify cancellation or termination of its obligations under this Agreement, shall be relieved of liability to the Company, or to the other Underwriters for damages occasioned by its failure or refusal.

 

10. Substitution of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase Securities hereunder on the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date and the aggregate number of Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed five percent (5%) of the total number of Securities to be purchased by all Underwriters on such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date or Option Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall so default and the aggregate number of Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur is more than ten percent (10%) of the total number of Securities to be purchased by all Underwriters on such Closing Date or Option Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the remaining Underwriters and the Company for the purchase of such Securities by other persons are not made within forty-eight (48) hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate.

 

If the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters are required hereby or agree to take up all or part of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters on such Closing Date or Option Closing Date as provided in this Section 10, (i) the Company shall have the right to postpone such Closing Date or Option Closing Date for a period of not more than five (5) full business days in order to permit the Company to effect whatever changes in the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, which may thereby be made necessary, and the Company agrees to promptly file any amendments to the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary, and (ii) the respective numbers of Securities to be purchased by the remaining Underwriters or substituted Underwriters shall be taken as the basis of their underwriting obligation for all purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability to the Company or any other Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company, except that the obligations with respect to expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to Section 5(a)(viii) and Section 7 and Sections 9 through 17, inclusive, shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect.

WallachBeth Capital, LLC

Harborside Financial Plaza 5

185 Hudson St., Suite 1410

Jersey City, NJ 07311

 

As Representative of the several Underwriters named on Schedule 1 to the Underwriting Agreement referenced below

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned understands that WallachBeth Capital, LLC (the “Representative”), proposes to enter into

an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Kindly MD, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), providing for the initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) of shares of common stock, with no par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given

to them in the Underwriting Agreement.

 

To induce the Representative to continue its efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to the Public Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (collectively, the “Lock- Up Securities”); (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise; (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities; or (4) publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to any Lock-Up Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Representative in connection with (a) transactions relating to Lock-Up Securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering; provided that no filing under Section 13 or Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Lock-Up Securities acquired in such open market transactions;

ARTICLE 3

Shares

 

3.01. AUTHORITY TO ISSUE. Subject to Section 16-10a-601 of the Act, the Corporation is authorized to issue any class of shares or securities convertible into shares of any class. Before any shares of the Corporation may be issued, the Board must pass a resolution which authorizes the issuance, sets the minimum consideration for the shares or security (or a formula to determine the minimum consideration), and fairly describes any non-monetary consideration. Subject to Section 16-10a-602 of the Act, the authorized number of shares shall be as listed in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.
   
3.02. RESTRICTIONS. Shares may only be issued in accordance with the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, and through the process described in these Bylaws. Any issuance of shares in excess of the amount described in the Articles of the Corporation must be authorized by the Board and approved by the affirmative vote by a majority of shareholders. Per Section 16-10a- 627 of the Act, any restriction on the transferability of shares shall be fully furnished to the shareholder, upon shareholder request, and without any charge to the shareholder.
   
  As provided in Section 16-10a-630, no shareholder has a preemptive right to subscribe to any subsequent or additional issuance of shares.
   
3.03. SHARE CERTIFICATES. Under Section 61-10a-625 of the Act, the Corporation need not provide shareholders any share certificates that certify the shares of the Corporation’s shares held by the shareholder. Consequently, the Board may authorize the issuance of some or all shares of any class or series of shares without certificates, provided that the Board shall provide to a shareholder, upon that shareholder’s request, a written statement that contains the information required to be on share certificates, per Subsection 16-10a-626(2) of the Act.
   
  If share certificates are issued, then each share certificate must contain on its face:

 

  a. The name and state of formation of the Corporation;
     
  b. The name of the shareholder (or person to whom the shares are issued);
     
  c. The class of shares and the number of shares it represents;
     
  d. The signature of the president, vice president, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chairman of the Board, or vice-chairman of the Board; and
     
  e. The counter signature of the Secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer, assistant treasurer, or any other officer.

 

  For the sake of clarity, in the event that an individual serves multiple roles within the Corporation, that person cannot countersign any document which that person has already signed in their official or individual capacity. If an officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature appears on any share certificate ceases to be an officer before the certificate is issued to the shareholder, it may be issued by the Corporation and is valid as if the person were an officer on the date of issuance. The certificate may be sealed with the Corporation’s seal.

3.04. MUTILATED, LOST, OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. In the instance of any mutilation, loss, or destruction of any share certificate, another may be issued in its place on proof of such mutilation, loss or destruction. The Board may impose conditions on such issuance and may require the giving of a satisfactory bond or indemnity to the Corporation. The Board may establish other procedures as they deem necessary.

 

3.05. FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP. Subject to Section 16-10a-604 of the Act, the Corporation may:

  b. Arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by those entitled thereto;
     
  c. Pay the fair market value, in cash, of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such shares are determined; or
     
  d. Issue scrip in a form which entitles the holder to receive a certificate for the full share upon surrender of such scrip aggregating a full share.

 

3.06. TRANSFER. So long as there is no transferability restriction on the shares, as described in Section 3.02 of these Bylaws, the shares of the Corporation are freely transferable. Transfers of shares must be made upon the corporation’s share transfer books. Share transfer books shall be kept in the manner described in Article 7 of these Bylaws.
   
  Before a new certificate is issued, the old certificate must be surrendered for cancellation. The Board may, by resolution, open a share register in any state of the United States, and may employ an agent or agents to keep such register, and to record transfers or shares therein.

 

3.07. REGISTERED OWNER. The Corporation shall recognize an individual as the registered owner of given shares, provided that individual is determined as the shareholder of record by the record date as set out in Sections 4.08 and 4.09 of these Bylaws. Shareholders may agree to confer the right to vote or represent their shares to third parties, including trustees, proxies, or fiduciaries. The Board may resolve to adopt a procedure by which a shareholder of the Corporation may certify in writing to the Corporation that all or a portion of the shares registered in the shareholder’s name are held for the account of a specified person or persons. The resolution must set forth:

 

  a. The classification of shareholders who may certify;
  b. The purpose or purposes for which the certification may be made;
  c. The form of certification and information to be contained therein;
  d. If the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the share transfer books, the date within which the certification must be received by the Corporation; and

Upon receipt of a certification complying with this procedure, the Corporation must treat the persons specified in the certification as the holders of record for the number of shares specified in place of the shareholder making the certification.

 

3.08. CLASSES OR SERIES OF SHARES. Until such time that these Bylaws are amended accordingly, the shares of the Corporation are not classified, and are not in series. In the event the Board decides to classify or reclassify the shares or alter any shareholder rights or restrictions, then the Board shall cause an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to be filed with the Utah State Division of Corporations and Commercial Code. Per Sections 16-10a-601, 16-10a-602, 16-10a-1001, and 16-10a-1002 of the Act, the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation shall describe the rights and restrictions which are being modified or altered, along with a statement (if any) that the shares have been classified or reclassified. As required by Subsection 16-10a-120(6) of the Act, the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation shall be acknowledged and signed by either a director or an executive officer on behalf of the Board.
   
3.09. SHARES OWNED BY THE CORPORATION. Shares owned by the Corporation in another corporation may be voted by the officer, agent, or proxy chosen by the Board or, in the absence of such determination, by the President of the Corporation. The power to vote such shares is vested in the Board, however, the President is authorized to vote on the Corporation’s behalf, only in the absence of a Board decision on how to vote. If the Board does render a decision related to the vote of shares, then the President is bound by the Board’s decision.
   
  Subject to Section 16-10a-631 of the Act, the Corporation may vote or represent shares that it holds in itself, provided the Corporation holds such shares in a fiduciary capacity. If the Corporation holds shares in itself in such a fiduciary capacity, then such shares shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at a given time. Pursuant to Section 1610a-631 of the Act, if the Corporation holds shares in itself in a non-fiduciary capacity, then such shares shall be construed as authorized but unissued shares and may not be represented or voted at a meeting of the shareholders.
   
3.10. TRANSFER AGENTS, REGISTRARS AND PAYING AGENTS. The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, appoint one or more transfer agents, registrars and agents for making payment upon any class of stock, bond, debenture or other security of the Corporation. Such agents and registrars may be located either within or outside Utah. They shall have such rights and duties and shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed.

4.15. ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING. As permitted by and subject to Section 16-10a-704 of the Act, any action which may be taken at any annual or special shareholder meeting may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if one or more shareholders entitled to vote on the matter consent to the action in writing, setting forth the action so taken and at least the minimum number of votes necessary to take such action.

If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date for purposes hereunder, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by such Warrant Share Delivery Date.

 

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

 

 

 

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

 

 

 

 

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b) Reserved.

 

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

 

 

 

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination)(each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Stock (or shares of common stock, as applicable) of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting(A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last VWAP immediately prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction and (y) the last VWAP immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

 

 

 

f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice to Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

 

 

 

h) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

 

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

a) Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b) New Warrants. If this Warrant is not held in global form through DTC (or any successor depositary), this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

c) Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

 

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

 

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

 

 

 

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

d) Authorized Shares.

 

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

e) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.

c) Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date for purposes hereunder, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by such Warrant Share Delivery Date.

 

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

-4-

 

 

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b) Reserved.

 

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination)(each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Stock (or shares of common stock, as applicable) of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting(A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last VWAP immediately prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction and (y) the last VWAP immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice to Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

h) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

 

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

a) Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b) New Warrants. If this Warrant is not held in global form through DTC (or any successor depositary), this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

c) Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

 

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

 

-10-

 

 

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

d) Authorized Shares.

 

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this exclusive forum provision shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction or any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act against us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or agents. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at 5097 S 900 E, Suite 100 , Salt Lake City, UT 84117 Attention: Timothy Pickett, Chief Executive Officer, email address: [_____], or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the e-mail address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

-12-

 

 

i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder of the beneficial owner of this Warrant, on the other hand.

 

m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

 

o) Warrant Agency Agreement. If this Warrant is held in global form through DTC (or any successor depositary), this Warrant is issued subject to the Warrant Agency Agreement. To the extent any provision of this Warrant conflicts with the express provisions of the Warrant Agency Agreement, the provisions of this Warrant shall govern and be controlling.

In the event that the Tradeable Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer necessary to have the Tradeable Warrants available in, book-entry form, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent to provide written instructions to DTC to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation of the Non-Tradeable Global Certificate, and the Company shall instruct the Warrant Agent to deliver to DTC separate certificates evidencing the Non-Tradeable Warrants (“Non-Tradeable Definitive Certificates”) registered as requested through the DTC system.

 

2.2. Issuance and Registration of Warrants.

 

2.2.1. Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall maintain books (“Warrant Register”) for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Warrants. Any person in whose name ownership of a beneficial interest in the Warrants evidenced by a Global Certificate is recorded in the records maintained by DTC or its nominee shall be deemed the “beneficial owner” thereof, provided that all such beneficial interests shall be held through a Participant (as defined below), which shall be the registered holder of such Warrants.

 

2.2.2. Issuance of Warrants. Upon the initial issuance of the Tradeable Warrants and Non-tradeable Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall issue the Tradeable Global Certificate and Non-tradeable Global Certificate and deliver the Tradeable Warrants and Non-tradeable Warrants in the DTC book-entry settlement system in accordance with written instructions delivered to the Warrant Agent by the Company. Ownership of security entitlements in the Warrants shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained by DTC and by institutions that have accounts with DTC (each, a “Participant”)

 

2.2.3. Beneficial Owner; Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name that Warrant shall be registered on the Warrant Register (the “Holder”) as the absolute owner of such Warrant for purposes of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of a beneficial interest in any Tradeable Warrant. The rights of beneficial owners in a Warrant evidenced by the Global Certificates shall be exercised by the Holder or a Participant through (i) in the case of a Tradeable Warrant, the DTC system, or (ii) in the case of a Non-tradeable Warrant, the Warrant Agent’s system, except to the extent set forth herein or in the Global Certificates.

 

2.2.4. Execution. The Warrant Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any authorized officer of the Company (an “Authorized Officer”), which need not be the same authorized signatory for all of the Warrant Certificates, either manually or by facsimile signature. The Warrant Certificates shall be countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Warrant Agent, which need not be the same signatory for all of the Warrant Certificates, and no Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. In case any Authorized Officer of the Company that signed any of the Warrant Certificates ceases to be an Authorized Officer of the Company before countersignature by the Warrant Agent and issuance and delivery by the Company, such Warrant Certificates, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the Warrant Agent, issued and delivered with the same force and effect as though the Person who signed such Warrant Certificates had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by any Person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be an Authorized Officer of the Company authorized to sign such Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Warrant Agreement any such Person was not such an Authorized Officer.

 

 

 

 

2.2.5. Registration of Transfer. At any time at or prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below), a transfer of any Warrants may be registered and any Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates may be split up, combined or exchanged for another Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates evidencing the same number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates surrendered. Any Holder desiring to register the transfer of Warrants or to split up, combine or exchange any Warrant Certificate shall make such request in writing delivered to the Warrant Agent, and shall surrender to the Warrant Agent the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates evidencing the Warrants the transfer of which is to be registered or that is or are to be split up, combined or exchanged and, in the case of registration of transfer, shall provide a signature guarantee. Thereupon, the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested. The Company and the Warrant Agent may require payment, by the Holder requesting a registration of transfer of Warrants or a split-up, combination or exchange of a Warrant Certificate (but, for purposes of clarity, not upon the exercise of the Warrants and issuance of Warrant Shares to the Holder), of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with such registration of transfer, split-up, combination or exchange, together with reimbursement to the Company and the Warrant Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto.

 

2.2.6. Loss, Theft and Mutilation of Warrant Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company and the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Warrant Certificate, and, in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security in customary form and amount, and reimbursement to the Company and the Warrant Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender to the Warrant Agent and cancellation of the Warrant Certificate if mutilated, the Warrant Agent shall, on behalf of the Company, countersign and deliver a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor to the Holder in lieu of the Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. The Warrant Agent may charge the Holder an administrative fee for processing the replacement of lost Warrant Certificates, which shall be charged only once in instances where a single surety bond obtained covers multiple certificates. The Warrant Agent may receive compensation from the surety companies or surety agents for administrative services provided to them.

 

2.2.7. Proxies. The Holder of a Warrant may grant proxies or otherwise authorize any Person, including the Participants and beneficial holders that may own interests through the Participants in the case of Tradeable Warrants, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Agreement or the Warrants; provided, however, that at all times that Tradeable Warrants are evidenced by a Tradeable Global Certificate, exercise of those Tradeable Warrants shall be effected on their behalf by Participants through DTC in accordance the procedures administered by DTC.

 

3. Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

 

3.1. Exercise Price. Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder, subject to the provisions of the applicable Warrant Certificate and of this Warrant Agreement, to purchase from the Company the number of Shares of Common Stock stated therein, at the price of (i) $[    ]per whole Share upon exercise of a Tradeable Warrant, and (ii) $[           ] per whole Share upon exercise of a Non-tradeable Warrant, subject in both cases to the subsequent adjustments provided in Section 4 hereof. The term “Exercise Price” as used in this Warrant Agreement refers to the price per Share at which Shares of Common Stock may be purchased at the time a Warrant is exercised.

 

3.2. Duration of Warrants. Warrants may be exercised only during the period (“Exercise Period”) commencing on the Issuance Date and terminating at 11:59 P.M., New York City Time (the “close of business”) on the fifth anniversary of the Issuance Date, [●], 2028 (“Expiration Date”). Each Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Warrant Agreement shall cease at the close of business on the Expiration Date.

 

 

 

 

3.3. Exercise of Warrants.

 

3.3.1. Exercise and Payment. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Warrant Agreement, a Holder (or a Participant or a designee of a Participant acting on behalf of a Holder) may exercise Warrants by delivering to the Warrant Agent, not later than 5:00 P.M., New York City Time, on any Business Day during the Exercise Period an election to purchase the Warrant Shares underlying the Warrants to be exercised (i) in the form included in Exhibit C to this Warrant Agreement or (ii) in the case of a Tradeable Warrant, via an electronic warrant exercise through the DTC system (each, an “Election to Purchase”). No later than one (1) Trading Day following delivery of an Election to Purchase, the Holder (or a Participant acting on behalf of a Holder in accordance with DTC procedures) shall: (i) (A) surrender the Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants to the Warrant Agent at its office designated for such purpose or (B) deliver the Warrants to an account of the Warrant Agent at DTC designated for such purpose in writing by the Warrant Agent to DTC from time to time, and (ii) unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 3.3.7(b) or (c) below is permitted and specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise, deliver to the Company the Exercise Price for each Warrant to be exercised, in lawful money of the United States of America in cash, by certified or official bank check payable to the Company or bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to:

 

KINDLY MD, INC.

Bank Name: [____]

Routing (ABA)#: [____]

Beneficiary Account Name: Kindly MD, Inc.

Beneficiary Account Number:[_______]

 

No ink-original Election to Purchase shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Election to Purchase form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the Warrants to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available thereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender such Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Election to Purchase is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of a Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available thereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Election to Purchase within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face thereof.

 

Any Person so designated by the Holder (or a Participant or designee of a Participant on behalf of a Holder) to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the time that an appropriately completed and duly signed Election to Purchase has been delivered to the Warrant Agent, provided that the Holder (or Participant on behalf of the Holder) makes delivery of the deliverables referenced in the immediately preceding sentence by the date that is one (1) Trading Day after the delivery of the Election to Purchase. If the Holder (or Participant on behalf of the Holder) fails to make delivery of such deliverables on or prior to the Trading Day following delivery of the Election to Purchase, such Election to Purchase shall be void ab initio.

 

(b) If any of (i) the Warrants, (ii) the Election to Purchase, or (iii) the Exercise Price therefor, is received by the Warrant Agent on any date after 5:00 P.M., New York City Time, or on a date that is not a Trading Day, the Warrants with respect thereto will be deemed to have been received and exercised on the Trading Day next succeeding such date. “Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday, or other day on which commercial Banks in New York City are authorized or required by law to remain closed; provided, however, for clarification, commercial banks shall not be deemed to be authorized or required by law to remain closed due to “stay at home”, “shelter-in-place”, “non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems (including for wire transfers) of commercial banks in The City of New York generally are open for use by customers on such day. The “Exercise Date” will be the date on which the materials in the foregoing sentence are received by the Warrant Agent (if by 5:00 P.M., New York City time), or the following Trading Day (if after 5:00 P.M., New York City time), regardless of any earlier date written on the materials. If the Warrants are received or deemed to be received after the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Company will be returned to the Holder or Participant, as the case may be, as soon as practicable. In no event will interest accrue on any funds deposited with the Company in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants.

 

 

 

 

(c) If less than all the Warrants evidenced by a surrendered Warrant Certificate are exercised, the Warrant Agent shall split up the surrendered Warrant Certificate and return to the Holder a Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrants that were not exercised.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 3.3.1, a holder whose interest in a Warrant is a beneficial interest in certificate(s) representing such Warrant held in registered form through DTC (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions), shall effect exercises made pursuant to this Section 3.3.1 by delivering to DTC (or such other clearing corporation, as applicable) the appropriate instruction form for exercise, complying with the procedures to effect exercise that are required by DTC (or such other clearing corporation, as applicable), subject to a holder’s right to elect to receive a Definitive Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant Agreement, in which case this sentence shall not apply. Upon giving irrevocable instructions to its Participant to exercise Warrants, solely for purposes of Regulation SHO, the holder whose interest in the Warrant is a beneficial interest shall be deemed to have exercised such Warrant, regardless of when the applicable Warrant Shares are delivered to such holder

 

3.3.2. Issuance of Warrant Shares. (a) The Warrant Agent shall, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day following the Exercise Date of any Warrant, advise the Company, the transfer agent and registrar for the Company’s Common Stock, in respect of (i) the number of Warrant Shares indicated on the Election to Purchase as issuable upon such exercise with respect to such exercised Warrants, (ii) the instructions of the Holder or Participant, as the case may be, provided to the Warrant Agent with respect to the delivery of the Warrant Shares and the number of Warrants that remain outstanding after such exercise, and (iii) such other information as the Company or such transfer agent and registrar shall reasonably request.

 

(b) The Company shall, by no later than 5:00 P.M., New York City Time, on the second Trading Day following the Exercise Date of any Tradeable Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Exercise Price (such date and time, the “Delivery Time”), cause its registrar to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares issuable upon that exercise to DTC by crediting the account of DTC or of the Participant, as the case may be, through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.

 

3.3.3. Valid Issuance. All Warrant Shares issued by the Company upon the proper exercise of a Warrant in conformity with this Warrant Agreement shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

3.3.4. No Fractional Exercise. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 4, a Holder would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, round up to the next whole share.

 

3.3.5. No Transfer Taxes. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, the Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached to the Warrant duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Election to Purchase and all fees to DTC (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

3.3.6. Date of Issuance. The Company will treat an exercising Holder as a beneficial owner of the Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date, except that, if the Exercise Date is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the open of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

 

 

 

 

3.3.7. Restrictive Legend Events; Cashless Exercise Under Certain Circumstances. (a) The Company shall use it reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and the current status of the prospectus included therein or to file and maintain the effectiveness of another registration statement and another current prospectus covering the Tradeable Warrants and the Tradeable Warrant Shares at any time that the Tradeable Warrants are exercisable. The Company shall provide to the Warrant Agent and each Holder prompt written notice of any time that the Company is unable to deliver the Warrant Shares via DTC transfer or otherwise without restrictive legend because: (i) the Commission has issued a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement, (ii) the Commission otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, (iii) the Company has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, (iv) in the case of a Tradeable Warrant, the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement is not available for the issuance of the Tradeable Warrant Shares to the Holder, or (v) otherwise (each a “Restrictive Legend Event”). To the extent that the Warrants cannot be exercised as a result of a Restrictive Legend Event or a Restrictive Legend Event occurs after a Holder has exercised Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrants but prior to the delivery of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall, at the election of the Holder, which shall be given within five (5) days of receipt of such notice of the Restrictive Legend Event, either (i) rescind the previously submitted Election to Purchase and return all consideration paid by registered Holder for such shares upon such rescission, or (ii) treat the attempted exercise as a cashless exercise as described in paragraph (b) below and refund the cash portion of the exercise price to the Holder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to make any cash payments or net cash settlement to the Holder in lieu of delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

(b) If a Restrictive Legend Event has occurred, the Warrant shall only be exercisable on a cashless basis. Upon a “cashless exercise”, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A-B) (X) by (A), where:

 

  (A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exercise Date if the Holder’s Election to Purchase is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 3.3.7(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day, or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 3.3.7(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Election to Purchase, or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Election to Purchase if such Election to Purchase is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 3.3.7(a) hereof, or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Election to Purchase if the date of such Election to Purchase is a Trading Day and such Election to Purchase is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 3.3.7(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
       
  (B) = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of the exercise of the Warrant, as adjusted as set forth herein; and
       
  (X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the terms of the Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a “cashless exercise” may occur after the earlier of (i) 1 Trading Day from the Initial Exercise Date of this Warrant or (ii) the time when $10.0 million of volume is traded in the Common Shares, if the VWAP of the Common Shares on any Trading Day on or after the closing date fails to exceed the Exercise Price in effect as of the Initial Exercise Date (subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events). In such event, the aggregate number of Warrant Shares issuable in such cashless exercise pursuant to any given Notice of Exercise electing to effect a cashless exercise shall equal the product of (x) the aggregate number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise and (y) 1.00.

 

 

 

 

If Tradeable Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Tradeable Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Tradeable Warrants being exercised and the Company agrees not to take any position contrary thereto. Upon receipt of an Election to Purchase for a cashless exercise, the Warrant Agent will promptly deliver a copy of the Election to Purchase to the Company to confirm the number of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with the cashless exercise. The Company shall calculate and transmit to the Warrant Agent in a written notice, and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty, responsibility or obligation under this section to calculate, the number of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with any cashless exercise. The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any such written notice provided by the Company, and the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with such written instructions or pursuant to this Warrant Agreement.

 

3.3.8. Restrictive Legend of Non-tradeable Warrants. No registration is required for the offer and sale of the Non-tradeable Warrants by the Company to the Holders. The Non-tradeable Warrants may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Non-tradeable Warrants other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Non-tradeable Warrant under the Securities Act. Certificates evidencing the Non-tradeable Warrants shall not contain any legend: (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act; (ii) following any sale of such Non-tradeable Warrants pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Non-tradeable Warrants); (iii) if such Non-tradeable Warrants are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Non-tradeable Warrants); or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Warrant Agent or the Holder promptly if required by the Warrant Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Holder, respectively. If all or any portion of a Non-tradeable Warrant is exercised at a time when a legend is not required pursuant to clauses (i)-(iv) above, then such Non-tradeable Warrants shall be issued free of all legends.

 

3.3.9. Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares issuable in connection with any exercise, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed.

 

3.3.9 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3.2 above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Delivery Time, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

 

 

 

3.3.10 Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not affect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of a Warrant, pursuant to Section 3 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Election to Purchase, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock (a) which would be issuable upon exercise of the remaining, non-exercised Warrants beneficially owned by that Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (b) which would be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3.3.10, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rule and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), it being acknowledged by the Holder that neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company is representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder or beneficial owner is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3.3.10 applies, the determination of whether a Warrant is exercisable and of which portion of the Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of an Election to Purchase shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether such Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and which portion of the Warrant is exercisable, and neither the Warrant Agent nor the Company shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and neither of them shall have any liability for any error made by the Holder or any other Person. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 3.3.10, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder or other Person may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (a) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (b) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (c) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Election to Purchase from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Election to Purchase would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be acquired pursuant to such Election to Purchase (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Person that represents that it is or is acting on behalf of a Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Trading Day, confirm orally or in writing or by e-mail to that Person the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 3.3.10 shall continue to apply. as specified in such notice, provided that any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Warrants. The provisions of this Section 3.3.10 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.3.10 to correct this subsection (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of the Warrant.

 

 

 

 

4. Adjustments.

 

4.1. Adjustment upon Subdivisions or Combinations. If the Company at any time after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time after the Issuance Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 4.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. The Company shall promptly notify Warrant Agent of any such adjustment and give specific instructions to Warrant Agent with respect to any adjustments to the warrant register.

 

4.2. Adjustment for Other Distributions. In the event the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a dividend or distribution to all holders of Common Stock of any evidences of indebtedness or assets or subscription rights, options or warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 4.1 or other dividends paid out of retained earnings), then in each such case the Holder will, upon the exercise of Warrants, be entitled to receive, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares issuable thereupon, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such dividend or distribution, as applicable, which such Holder would have held on the date of such exercise had such Holder been the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date on which holders of Common Stock became entitled to receive such dividend or distribution. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

 

 

 

4.3. Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which each Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of the Warrants). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3(e) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date [and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.4 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of the Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(e) regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.

 

 

 

 

4.4. Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of Section 4.1 or 4.2 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, Adjustment Rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features to all holders of Common Stock for no consideration), then the Company’s Board of Directors will, at its discretion and in good faith, make an adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares or designate such additional consideration to be deemed issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, so as to protect the rights of the registered Holder. No adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made pursuant to more than one sub-section of this Section 4 in connection with a single issuance.

 

4.5. Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Warrant Agent, which notice shall state the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 4.1 or 4.2, then, in any such event, the Company shall give written notice to each Holder, at the last address set forth for such holder in the Warrant Register, as of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event. The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, any certificate, notice or instructions provided by the Company with respect to any adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, or any related matter, and the Warrant Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with any such certificate, notice or instructions or pursuant to this Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment unless and until it shall have received written notice thereof from the Company.

 

5. Restrictive Legends; Fractional Warrants. In the event that a Warrant Certificate surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Warrant Agent shall not register that transfer until the Warrant Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend upon that transfer. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the transfer of or delivery of a Warrant Certificate for a fraction of a Warrant.

 

6. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

 

6.1. No Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, a Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of Warrants, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant Agreement be construed to confer upon a Holder, solely in its capacity as the registered holder of Warrants, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of share capital, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights or rights to participate in new issues of shares, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of Warrants.

 

6.2. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Warrant Agreement.

In addition, the Warrant Agent may require for such purpose, but shall not be obligated to require, the execution of such written settlement by all the Holders and all other Persons that may have an interest in the settlement.

7.14. Resignation of Warrant Agent.

The Company may terminate the services of the Warrant Agent, or any successor Warrant Agent, after giving thirty (30) days’ notice in writing to the Warrant Agent or successor Warrant Agent, or such shorter period of time as agreed. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation, termination or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Warrant Agent, then the Warrant Agent or any Holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Warrant Agent at the Company’s cost. Pending appointment of a successor to such Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by such a court, the duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company.

If for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate or at the request of the Company, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.

Section 2. Exercise.

 

a) Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto. Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank, unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2© below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (although the Holder may surrender the Warrant to, and receive a replacement Warrant from, the Company), the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within two (2) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Trading Day of delivery of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $[__]2, equal to 115% of the initial public offering price, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c) Cashless Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant by delivering the aggregate Exercise Price by wire transfer or cashier’s check, at the election of the Holder this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

  (A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

 

 

2 115% of the initial public offering price of the Units.

 

-3-

 

 

  (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
     
  (X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

 

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Notice(s) of Exercise delivered on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date, which may be delivered at any time after the time of execution of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agrees to deliver the Warrant Shares subject to such notice(s) by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Initial Exercise Date and the Initial Exercise Date shall be the Warrant Share Delivery Date for purposes hereunder, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by such Warrant Share Delivery Date.

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

-5-

 

 

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b) Reserved.

 

c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

-7-

 

 

d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination)(each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Stock (or shares of common stock, as applicable) of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting(A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the greater of (x) the last VWAP immediately prior to the public announcement of such Fundamental Transaction and (y) the last VWAP immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later, on the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice to Holder.

 

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

h) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

 

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

a) Transferability. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), neither this Warrant nor any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of the offering pursuant to which this Warrant is being issued, except the transfer of any security:

 

i. by operation of law or by reason of reorganization of the Company;

 

-9-

 

 

ii. to any FINRA member firm participating in the offering and the officers or partners thereof, if all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section 4(a) for the remainder of the time period;

 

iii. if the aggregate amount of securities of the Company held by the Holder or related person do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered;

 

iv. that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund, and participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the equity in the fund; or

 

v. the exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities received remain subject to the lock-up restriction in this Section 4(a) for the remainder of the time period.

 

Subject to the foregoing restriction, any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d), this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b) New Warrants. If this Warrant is not held in global form through DTC (or any successor depositary), this Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

 

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

 

-10-

 

 

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

d) Authorized Shares.

 

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

-11-

 

 

e) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this exclusive forum provision shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction or any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act against us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or agents. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at 5097 S 900 E, Suite 100 , Salt Lake City, UT 84117 Attention: Timothy Pickett, Chief Executive Officer, email address: [_____], or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders.

Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

-12-

 

 

i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder of the beneficial owner of this Warrant, on the other hand.

 

m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

  Re: Kindly MD, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”)
    Registration Statement on Form S-1

 

We refer to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (file no. 333-274606) under the Securities Act of 1933, (the “Registration Statement”), originally filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 20, 2023 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement relates to the registration of (i) 1,272,727 Units (the “Offering Units”) offered by the Company, which units consist of (x) 1,272,727 shares (the “Offering Shares”) of Company common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), (y) tradeable warrants to purchase 1,272,727 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of 115% of the price of the Offering Units (the “Tradeable Warrants”), and (z) non-tradeable warrants to purchase 636,363 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of 115% of the price of Offering Units (the “Non-Tradeable Warrants”); (ii) underwriter’s warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 6% of the number of the Offering Shares sold pursuant to the Registration Statement at an exercise price of 115% of the price of the Offering Units (the “Representative’s Warrants”  and together with the Tradeable Warrants and the Non-Tradeable Warrants collectively the “Warrants”), (iii) the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”); and (iv) an aggregate of 1,617,039 shares of common stock held by the selling stockholders listed in the Registration Statement (the “Resale Shares”).

 

Assumptions

 

In rendering the opinion expressed below, we have assumed, with your permission and without independent verification or investigation:

 

1. That all signatures on documents we have examined in connection herewith are genuine and that all items submitted to us as original are authentic and all items submitted to us as copies conform with originals;

 

2. Except for the documents stated herein, there are no documents or agreements between the Company and/or any third parties which would expand or otherwise modify the respective rights and obligations of the parties as set forth in the documents referred to herein or which would have an effect on the opinion;

 

 

 

 

3. That as to all factual matters, each of the representations and warranties contained in the documents referred to herein is true, accurate and complete in all material respects, and the opinion expressed herein is given in reliance thereon.

 

We have examined the following documents in connection with this matter:

 

1. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended and restated;

 

2. The Company’s Bylaws;

 

3. The Registration Statement; and

 

4. Unanimous Consents of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

We have also examined various other documents, books, records, instruments and certificates of public officials, directors, executive officers and agents of the Company, and have made such investigations as we have deemed reasonable, necessary or prudent under the circumstances. Also, in rendering this opinion, we have reviewed various statutes and judicial precedent as we have deemed relevant or necessary.

 

Conclusions

 

Based upon our examination mentioned above, and relying on the statements of fact contained in the documents that we have examined, we are of the following opinions:

 

  1. Kindly MD, Inc. is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Utah.
     
  2. The Offering Shares to be sold pursuant to the terms of the Registration Statement, when issued upon receipt by the Company of the agreed-upon consideration therefore, will be duly authorized and, upon the sale thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
     
  3. The issuance of the Warrants has been duly authorized, and when duly executed and authenticated in accordance with their terms and issued and delivered as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the underwriting agreement by and between the Company and the representative of the underwriters, the Warrants will constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company.
     
  4. The issuance of the Warrant Shares has been duly authorized, and upon issuance in accordance with the Registration Statement and the terms of the Warrants, the obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants will be a binding obligation of the Company, and the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
     
  5. The Resale Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; and (iii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update our opinions herein, regardless of whether changes in the facts or laws upon which this opinion are based come to our attention after the date hereof.

 

 

 

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and the reference to our firm in the Prospectus in the Registration Statement under the caption “Legal Matters.” In providing this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, including Item 509 of Regulation S-K.

 

Very truly yours,

The Administrator shall have the exclusive right to interpret and construe the Plan, to select the Eligible Persons who shall receive an Award, and to act in all matters pertaining to the grant of an Award and the determination and interpretation of the provisions of the related Award Agreement, including, without limitation, the determination of the number of shares subject to Stock Options and the Option Period(s) and Option Price(s) thereof, the number of shares of Restricted Stock or shares subject to Stock Awards or Performance Shares subject to an Award, the vesting periods (if any) and the form, terms, conditions and duration of each Award, and any amendment thereof consistent with the provisions of the Plan. The Administrator may adopt, establish, amend and rescind such rules, regulations and procedures as it may deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan, make all other determinations which are, in the Administrator’s judgment, necessary or desirable for the proper administration of the Plan, amend the Plan or a Stock Award as provided in ARTICLE XI, and terminate or suspend the Plan as provided in ARTICLE XI. All acts, determinations and decisions of the Administrator made or taken pursuant to the Plan or with respect to any questions arising in connection with the administration and interpretation of the Plan or any Award Agreement, including the severability of any and all of the provisions thereof, shall be conclusive, final and binding upon all persons.

3.2. The Administrator may, to the full extent permitted by and consistent with Applicable Law and the Company’s Bylaws, and subject to Subparagraph 3.2.1 herein below, delegate any or all of its powers with respect to the administration of the Plan to the Company’s Compensation Committee (if applicable) or another Committee of the Company consisting of not fewer than two members of the Board each of whom shall qualify (at the time of appointment to the Committee and during all periods of service on the Committee) in all respects as a Non- Employee Director and as an Outside Director.

 

3.2.1 If administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Administrator as set forth herein, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in the Plan to the Administrator shall thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board.

 

3.2.2 The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee.

 

3.2.3 In addition to, and not in limitation of, the right of Administrator, the full Board of Directors and/or the Company’s Compensation Committee, if applicable, may from time to time grant Awards to Eligible Persons pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Plan, subject to the requirements of the Code, Rule 16b-3 under the Act or any other Applicable Law, rule or regulation. In connection with any such grants, the Board of Directors and/or the Company’s Compensation Committee, if applicable, shall have all of the power and authority of the Administrator to determine the Eligible Persons to whom such Awards shall be granted and the other terms and conditions of such Awards.

 

3.3. Without limiting the provisions of this ARTICLE I, and subject to the provisions of ARTICLE X, the Administrator is authorized to take such action as it determines to be necessary or advisable, and fair and equitable to Participants and to the Company, with respect to an outstanding Award in the event of a Change of Control as described in ARTICLE X or other similar event. Such action may include, but shall not be limited to, establishing, amending or waiving the form, terms, conditions and duration of an Award and the related Award Agreement, so as to provide for earlier, later, extended or additional times for exercise or payments, differing methods for calculating payments, alternate forms and amounts of payment, an accelerated release of restrictions or other modifications.

In the event any Award is not evidenced by a written Award Agreement, such Award shall be governed by the terms of this Plan and the terms and conditions of the grant of the Award as evidenced by the minutes of the Board (or any authorized Committee thereof).

3.4. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.9 and this Section 3.4, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be the Available Shares. Such shares of Common Stock shall be made available from authorized and unissued shares of the Company.

 

3.4.1 For all purposes under the Plan, each Performance Share awarded shall be counted as one share of Common Stock subject to an Award.

 

3.4.2 If, for any reason, any shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock subject to Performance Shares) that have been awarded or are subject to issuance or purchase pursuant to Awards outstanding under the Plan are not delivered or purchased, or are reacquired by the Company, for any reason, including but not limited to a forfeiture of Restricted Stock or failure to earn Performance Shares or the termination, expiration or cancellation of a Stock Option, or any other termination of an Award without payment being made in the form of shares of Common Stock (whether or not Restricted Stock), such shares of Common Stock shall not be charged against the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for Award under the Plan and shall again be available for Awards under the Plan. In no event, however, may Common Stock that is surrendered or withheld to pay the exercise price of a Stock Option or to satisfy tax withholding requirements be available for future grants under the Plan.

 

3.4.3 For purposes of clarifying the preceding paragraph, shares of Common Stock covered by Awards shall only be counted as used to the extent they are actually issued and delivered to a Participant (or such Participant’s permitted transferees as described in the Plan) pursuant to the Plan. In addition, shares of Common Stock related to Awards that expire, are forfeited or cancelled or terminate for any reason without the issuance of shares shall not be treated as issued pursuant to the Plan.

3.5. Each Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement, which shall be subject to and shall incorporate (by reference or otherwise) the applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and shall include any other terms and conditions (not inconsistent with the Plan) required by the Administrator. In the event any Award is not evidenced by a written Award Agreement, such Award shall be governed by the terms of this Plan and the terms and conditions of the grant of the Award as evidenced by the minutes of the Administrator (or any authorized Committee thereof). For the sake of clarity, the failure of the Company to document an Award by way of a written Award Agreement shall not affect the validity of such Award.

 

3.6. In the event the Plan and/or the Common Stock issuable in connection with Awards hereunder are registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Act, no free-trading shares of Common Stock shall be issuable by the Company under the Plan and pursuant to such registration statement, (a) except to natural persons (as such term is interpreted by the SEC); (b) in connection with services associated with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction; or (c) where the services directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities.

 

3.7. The Administrator may require any Participant acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes and without a view to resale or distribution thereof. Shares of Common Stock issued and delivered under the Plan shall also be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any Stock Exchange upon which the Common Stock is then listed and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be placed on the certificate or certificates representing any such shares to make appropriate reference to any such restrictions. In making such determination, the Administrator may rely upon an opinion of counsel for the Company.

 

3.8. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an Award Agreement with respect to an Award, no Participant shall have any right as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to such Participant’s Award except to the extent that, and until, one or more certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall have been delivered to the Participant. No shares shall be required to be issued, and no certificates shall be required to be delivered, under the Plan unless and until all of the terms and conditions applicable to such Award shall have, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, been satisfied in full and any restrictions shall have lapsed in full, and unless and until all of the requirements of law and of all regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over the offer and sale, or issuance and delivery, of the shares shall have been fully complied with.

3.9. The total amount of shares with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan, the Share Limit, the ISO Limit and rights of outstanding Awards (both as to the number of shares subject to the outstanding Awards and the Option Price(s) or other purchase price(s) of such shares, as applicable) shall be appropriately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company resulting from payment of a stock dividend on the Common Stock, a stock split or subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, or a reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other change in the structure of shares of the Common Stock. The foregoing adjustments and the manner of application of the foregoing provisions shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional shares which might otherwise become subject to an Award. All adjustments made as a result of the foregoing in respect of each Incentive Stock Option shall be made so that such Incentive Stock Option shall continue to be an Incentive Stock Option, as defined in Section 422 of the Code.

 

3.10. No director or person acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Administrator shall be liable for any action or determination under the Plan made in good faith. The members of the Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification by the Company in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, Bylaws or as otherwise provided from time to time regarding indemnification of Directors.

 

3.11. The Administrator shall be authorized to make adjustments in any performance based criteria or in the other terms and conditions of outstanding Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company (or any Affiliate, if applicable) or its financial statements or changes in Applicable Laws, regulations or accounting principles. The Administrator may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or desirable to reflect any such adjustment. In the event the Company (or any Affiliate, if applicable) shall assume outstanding employee benefit awards or the right or obligation to make future such awards in connection with the acquisition of another corporation or business entity, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, make such adjustments in the terms of outstanding Awards under the Plan as it shall deem appropriate.

 

3.12. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Administrator shall have full power and authority to determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances any outstanding Award shall be terminated, canceled, forfeited or suspended. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement, all Awards to any Participant that are subject to any restriction or have not been earned or exercised in full by the Participant shall be terminated and canceled if the Participant is terminated for cause, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

4.1.4 The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which any Incentive Stock Options (whether under this Plan or any other plan established by the Company) are first exercisable during any calendar year by any Eligible Employee shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), determined based on the Fair Market Value(s) of such shares as of their respective Grant Dates; provided, however, that to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code, if the aggregate Fair Market Values of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which Stock Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by any Eligible Employee during any calendar year (whether such Stock Options are granted under this Plan or any other plan established by the Company) exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), the Stock Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options.

4.4. Each provision of this ARTICLE IV and of each Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, and any provision hereof that cannot be so construed shall be disregarded.

5.1.3 A Nonqualified Stock Option may be exercised in full or in part from time to time within the Option Period specified by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that, in any event, the Nonqualified Stock Option shall lapse and cease to be exercisable upon a Termination of Service or within such period following a Termination of Service as shall have been determined by the Administrator and set forth in the related Award Agreement.

 

5.2. The Administrator may provide for any other terms and conditions for a Nonqualified Stock Option not inconsistent with this ARTICLE V or ARTICLE I or ARTICLE VI, as determined in its sole discretion and set forth in the Award Agreement for such Nonqualified Stock Option.

 

ARTICLE VI.

INCIDENTS OF STOCK OPTIONS

 

6.1. Each Stock Option shall be granted subject to such terms and conditions, if any, not inconsistent with this Plan, as shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the related Award Agreement, including any provisions as to continued employment as consideration for the grant or exercise of such Stock Option and any provisions which may be advisable to comply with Applicable Laws, regulations or rulings of any governmental authority.

 

6.2. Except as hereinafter described, a Stock Option shall not be transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. In the event of the death of a Participant, any unexercised Stock Options may be exercised to the extent otherwise provided herein or in such Participant’s Award Agreement by the executor or personal representative of such Participant’s estate or by any person who acquired the right to exercise such Stock Options by bequest under the Participant’s will or by inheritance. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may at any time permit a Participant to transfer a Nonqualified Stock Option for no consideration to or for the benefit of one or more members of the Participant’s Immediate Family (including, without limitation, to a trust for the benefit of the Participant and/or one or more members of such Participant’s Immediate Family or a corporation, partnership or limited liability company established and controlled by the Participant and/or one or more members of such Participant’s Immediate Family), subject to such limits as the Administrator may establish. The transferee of such Nonqualified Stock Option shall remain subject to all terms and conditions applicable to such Nonqualified Stock Option prior to such transfer. The foregoing right to transfer the Nonqualified Stock Option, if granted by the Administrator shall apply to the right to consent to amendments to the Award Agreement.

 

6.3. Shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of a Stock Option shall be paid for in such amounts, at such times and upon such terms as shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to limitations set forth in the Stock Option Award Agreement. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit the exercise of a Stock Option by payment in cash or by tendering shares of Common Stock (either by actual delivery of such shares or by attestation), or any combination thereof, as determined by the Administrator. In the sole discretion of the Administrator, payment in shares of Common Stock also may be made with shares received upon the exercise or partial exercise of the Stock Option, whether or not involving a series of exercises or partial exercises and whether or not share certificates for such shares surrendered have been delivered to the Participant. The Administrator also may, in its sole discretion, permit the payment of the exercise price of a Stock Option by the voluntary surrender of all or a portion of the Stock Option. Shares of Common Stock previously held by the Participant and surrendered in payment of the Option Price of a Stock Option shall be valued for such purpose at the Fair Market Value thereof on the date the Stock Option is exercised.

 

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

6.4. The holder of a Stock Option shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by the Stock Option (including, without limitation, any voting rights, the right to inspect or receive the Company’s balance sheets or financial statements or any rights to receive dividends or non-cash distributions with respect to such shares) until such time as the holder has exercised the Stock Option and then only with respect to the number of shares which are the subject of the exercise. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

 

6.5. The Administrator may permit the voluntary surrender of all or a portion of any Stock Option granted under the Plan to be conditioned upon the granting to the Participant of a new Stock Option for the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock as the Stock Option surrendered, or may require such voluntary surrender as a condition precedent to a grant of a new Stock Option to such Participant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, such new Stock Option shall be exercisable at such Option Price, during such Option Period and on such other terms and conditions as are specified by the Administrator at the time the new Stock Option is granted. Upon surrender, the Stock Options surrendered shall be canceled and the shares of Common Stock previously subject to them shall be available for the grant of other Stock Options.

 

6.6. The Administrator may at any time offer to purchase a Participant’s outstanding Stock Option for a payment equal to the value of such Stock Option payable in cash, shares of Common Stock or Restricted Stock or other property upon surrender of the Participant’s Stock Option, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Participant at the time that such offer is made.

 

6.7. The Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time the Award is granted or at the time the Participant discontinues employment, to establish as a provision applicable to the exercise of one or more Stock Options that, during a limited period of exercisability following a Termination of Service, the Stock Option may be exercised not only with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock for which it is exercisable at the time of the Termination of Service but also with respect to one or more subsequent installments for which the Stock Option would have become exercisable had the Termination of Service not occurred.

 

6.8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company may reprice any Stock Option without the approval of the stockholders of the Company. For this purpose, “reprice” means (i) any of the following or any other action that has the same effect: (A) lowering the exercise price of a Stock Option after it is granted, (B) any other action that is treated as a repricing under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), or (C) cancelling a Stock Option at a time when its exercise price exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Stock, in exchange for another Stock Option, restricted stock or other equity, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a merger, acquisition, spin-off or other similar corporate transaction; and (ii) any other action that is considered to be a repricing under formal or informal guidance issued by exchange or market on which the Company’s Common Stock then trades or is quoted.

6.9. In addition to, and without limiting the above Section 6.8, the Administrator may permit the voluntary surrender of all or a portion of any Stock Option granted under the Plan to be conditioned upon the granting to the Participant of a new Stock Option for the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock as the Stock Option surrendered, or may require such voluntary surrender as a condition precedent to a grant of a new Stock Option to such Participant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, such new Stock Option shall be exercisable at such Option Price, during such Option Period and on such other terms and conditions as are specified by the Administrator at the time the new Stock Option is granted. Upon surrender, the Stock Options surrendered shall be canceled and the shares of Common Stock previously subject to them shall be available for the grant of other Stock Options.

 

ARTICLE VII.

RESTRICTED STOCK

 

7.1. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may from time to time on or after the Effective Date award shares of Restricted Stock to Eligible Persons as a reward for past service and an incentive for the performance of future services that will contribute materially to the successful operation of the Company and its Affiliates, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this ARTICLE VII.

 

7.2. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of any Award of Restricted Stock, which shall be set forth in the related Award Agreement, including without limitation:

 

7.2.1 the purchase price, if any, to be paid for such Restricted Stock, which may be zero, subject to such minimum consideration as may be required by Applicable Law;

 

7.2.2 the duration of the Restriction Period or Restriction Periods with respect to such Restricted Stock and whether any events may accelerate or delay the end of such Restriction Period(s);

 

7.2.3 the circumstances upon which the restrictions or limitations shall lapse, and whether such restrictions or limitations shall lapse as to all shares of Restricted Stock at the end of the Restriction Period or as to a portion of the shares of Restricted Stock in installments during the Restriction Period by means of one or more vesting schedules;

 

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

KINDLY MD, INC.

7.2.4 whether such Restricted Stock is subject to repurchase by the Company or to a right of first refusal at a predetermined price or if the Restricted Stock may be forfeited entirely under certain conditions;

 

7.2.5 whether any performance goals may apply to a Restriction Period to shorten or lengthen such period; and

 

7.2.6 whether dividends and other distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock are to be paid currently to the Participant or withheld by the Company for the account of the Participant.

 

7.3. Awards of Restricted Stock must be accepted within a period of thirty (30) days after the Grant Date (or such shorter or longer period as the Administrator may specify at such time) by executing an Award Agreement with respect to such Restricted Stock and tendering the purchase price, if any. A prospective recipient of an Award of Restricted Stock shall not have any rights with respect to such Award, unless such recipient has executed an Award Agreement with respect to such Restricted Stock, has delivered a fully executed copy thereof to the Administrator and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms and conditions of such Award.

 

7.4. In the sole discretion of the Administrator and as set forth in the Award Agreement for an Award of Restricted Stock, all shares of Restricted Stock held by a Participant and still subject to restrictions shall be forfeited by the Participant upon the Participant’s Termination of Service and shall be reacquired, canceled and retired by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement with respect to an Award of Restricted Stock, in the event of the death, Disability or Retirement of a Participant during the Restriction Period, or in other cases of special circumstances (including hardship or other special circumstances of a Participant whose employment is involuntarily terminated), the Administrator may elect to waive in whole or in part any remaining restrictions with respect to all or any part of such Participant’s Restricted Stock, if it finds that a waiver would be appropriate.

 

7.5. Except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE VII, no shares of Restricted Stock received by a Participant shall be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of during the Restriction Period.

 

7.6. Upon an Award of Restricted Stock to a Participant, a certificate or certificates representing the shares of such Restricted Stock will be issued to and registered in the name of the Participant. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, such certificate or certificates will be held in custody by the Company until (i) the Restriction Period expires and the restrictions or limitations lapse, in which case one or more certificates representing such shares of Restricted Stock that do not bear a restrictive legend (other than any legend as required under applicable federal or state securities laws) shall be delivered to the Participant, or (ii) a prior forfeiture by the Participant of the shares of Restricted Stock subject to such Restriction Period, in which case the Company shall cause such certificate or certificates to be canceled and the shares represented thereby to be retired, all as set forth in the Participant’s Award Agreement. It shall be a condition of an Award of Restricted Stock that the Participant deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank relating to the shares of Restricted Stock to be held in custody by the Company.

7.7. Except as provided in this ARTICLE VII or in the related Award Agreement, a Participant receiving an Award of shares of Restricted Stock Award shall have, with respect to such shares, all rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any distributions, unless and until such shares are otherwise forfeited by such Participant; provided, however, the Administrator may require that any cash dividends with respect to such shares of Restricted Stock be automatically reinvested in additional shares of Restricted Stock subject to the same restrictions as the underlying Award, or may require that cash dividends and other distributions on Restricted Stock be withheld by the Company or its Affiliates for the account of the Participant. The Administrator shall determine whether interest shall be paid on amounts withheld, the rate of any such interest, and the other terms applicable to such withheld amounts.

 

ARTICLE VIII.

STOCK AWARDS

 

8.1. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may from time to time on or after the Effective Date grant Stock Awards to Eligible Persons in payment of compensation that has been earned or as compensation to be earned, including without limitation compensation awarded or earned concurrently with or prior to the grant of the Stock Award, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII.

 

8.2. For the purposes of this Plan, in determining the value of a Stock Award, all shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Award shall be set in the Award Agreement and may be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the Grant Date.

 

8.3. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and set forth in the related Award Agreement, shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award will be issued, and one or more certificates representing such shares will be delivered, to the Participant as soon as practicable following the Grant Date of such Stock Award. Upon the issuance of such shares and the delivery of one or more certificates representing such shares to the Participant, such Participant shall be and become a stockholder of the Company fully entitled to receive dividends, to vote and to exercise all other rights of a stockholder of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise with respect to a Stock Award, as set forth in the related Award Agreement, no Stock Award shall be deemed to be an outstanding Award for purposes of the Plan.

 

ARTICLE IX.

PERFORMANCE SHARES

 

9.1. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may from time to time on or after the Effective Date award Performance Shares to Eligible Persons as an incentive for the performance of future services that will contribute materially to the successful operation of the Company and its Affiliates, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this ARTICLE IX.

 

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

9.2. The Administrator shall determine the terms and conditions of any Award of Performance Shares, which shall be set forth in the related Award Agreement, including without limitation:

 

9.2.1 the purchase price, if any, to be paid for such Performance Shares, which may be zero, subject to such minimum consideration as may be required by Applicable Law;

 

9.2.2 the performance period (the “Performance Period”) and/or performance objectives (the “Performance Objectives”) applicable to such Awards;

 

9.2.3 the number of Performance Shares that shall be paid to the Participant if the applicable Performance Objectives are exceeded or met in whole or in part; and

 

9.2.4 the form of settlement of a Performance Share.

 

9.3. At any date, each Performance Share shall have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock.

 

9.4. Performance Periods may overlap, and Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to Performance Shares for which different Performance Periods are prescribed.

 

9.5. Performance Objectives may vary from Participant to Participant and between Awards and shall be based upon such performance criteria or combination of factors as the Administrator may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, minimum earnings per share or return on equity. If during the course of a Performance Period there shall occur significant events which the Administrator expects to have a substantial effect on the applicable Performance Objectives during such period, the Administrator may revise such Performance Objectives.

 

9.6. In the sole discretion of the Administrator and as set forth in the Award Agreement for an Award of Performance Shares, all Performance Shares held by a Participant and not earned shall be forfeited by the Participant upon the Participant’s Termination of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement with respect to an Award of Performance Shares, in the event of the death, Disability or Retirement of a Participant during the applicable Performance Period, or in other cases of special circumstances (including hardship or other special circumstances of a Participant whose employment is involuntarily terminated), the Administrator may determine to make a payment in settlement of such Performance Shares at the end of the Performance Period, based upon the extent to which the Performance Objectives were satisfied at the end of such period and pro-rated for the portion of the Performance Period during which the Participant was employed by the Company or an Affiliate; provided, however, that the Administrator may provide for an earlier payment in settlement of such Performance Shares in such amount and under such terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate or desirable.

 

9.7. The settlement of a Performance Share shall be made in cash, whole shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof and shall be made as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator in its sole discretion may allow a Participant to defer payment in settlement of Performance Shares on terms and conditions approved by the Administrator and set forth in the related Award Agreement entered into in advance of the time of receipt or constructive receipt of payment by the Participant.

9.8. Performance Shares shall not be transferable by the Participant. The Administrator shall have the authority to place additional restrictions on the Performance Shares including, but not limited to, restrictions on transfer of any shares of Common Stock that are delivered to a Participant in settlement of any Performance Shares.

 

ARTICLE X.

CHANGES OF CONTROL OR OTHER FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES

 

10.1. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement with respect to a particular Award:

 

10.1.1 all outstanding Stock Options shall become immediately exercisable in full, subject to any appropriate adjustments in the number of shares subject to the Stock Option and the Option Price, and shall remain exercisable for the remaining Option Period, regardless of any provision in the related Award Agreement limiting the exercisability of such Stock Option or any portion thereof for any length of time;

 

10.1.2 all outstanding Performance Shares with respect to which the applicable Performance Period has not been completed shall be paid out as soon as practicable as follows:

 

(i) all Performance Objectives applicable to the Award of Performance Shares shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent necessary to earn one hundred percent (100%) of the Performance Shares covered by the Award;

 

(ii) the applicable Performance Period shall be deemed to have been completed upon occurrence of the Change of Control;

 

(iii) the payment to the Participant in settlement of the Performance Shares shall be the amount determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, or in the manner stated in the Award Agreement, as multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months of the applicable Performance Period that have elapsed prior to occurrence of the Change of Control, and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the original Performance Period; and

 

(iv) upon the making of any such payment, the Award Agreement as to which it relates shall be deemed terminated and of no further force and effect; and

 

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

KINDLY MD, INC.

10.1.3 all outstanding shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the restrictions have not lapsed shall be deemed vested, and all such restrictions shall be deemed lapsed and the Restriction Period ended.

 

10.2. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each Award granted under the Plan and then outstanding shall terminate; provided, however, that following the adoption of a plan of dissolution or liquidation, and in any event prior to the effective date of such dissolution or liquidation, each such outstanding Award granted hereunder shall be exercisable in full and all restrictions shall lapse, to the extent set forth in Section 10.1.1, 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 above.

 

10.3. After the merger of one or more corporations into the Company or any Affiliate, any merger of the Company into another corporation, any consolidation of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company and one or more corporations, or any other corporate reorganization of any form involving the Company as a party thereto and involving any exchange, conversion, adjustment or other modification of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, each Participant shall, at no additional cost, be entitled, upon any exercise of such Participant’s Stock Option, to receive, in lieu of the number of shares as to which such Stock Option shall then be so exercised, the number and class of shares of stock or other securities or such other property to which such Participant would have been entitled to pursuant to the terms of the agreement of merger or consolidation or reorganization, if at the time of such merger or consolidation or reorganization, such Participant had been a holder of record of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares as to which such Stock Option shall then be so exercised. Comparable rights shall accrue to each Participant in the event of successive mergers, consolidations or reorganizations of the character described above. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide for similar adjustments upon the occurrence of such events with regard to other outstanding Awards under this Plan. The foregoing adjustments and the manner of application of the foregoing provisions shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional shares which might otherwise become subject to an Award. All adjustments made as the result of the foregoing in respect of each Incentive Stock Option shall be made so that such Incentive Stock Option shall continue to be an Incentive Stock Option, as defined in Section 422 of the Code.

 

ARTICLE XI.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

11.1. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.2, the Board of Directors at any time and from time to time may amend or terminate the Plan as may be necessary or desirable to implement or discontinue the Plan or any provision hereof, to the extent required by the Act or the Code, or rules and regulations of the Stock Exchange and/or such other securities exchanges, if any, which the Company’s Common Stock is then subject to, however, no amendment, without approval by the Company’s stockholders, shall:

 

11.1.1 materially alter the group of persons eligible to participate in the Plan;

 

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

KINDLY MD, INC.

21 of 27
 

 

11.1.2 except as provided in Section 3.4, change the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that are available for Awards under the Plan; or

 

11.1.3 alter the class of individuals eligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option or increase the limit on Incentive Stock Options set forth in Section 4.1.4 or the value of shares of Common Stock for which an Eligible Employee may be granted an Incentive Stock Option.

 

11.2. No amendment to or discontinuance of the Plan or any provision hereof by the Board of Directors or the stockholders of the Company shall, without the written consent of the Participant, adversely affect (in the sole discretion of the Administrator) any Award theretofore granted to such Participant under this Plan; provided, however, that the Administrator retains the right and power to:

 

11.2.1 annul any Award if the Participant is terminated for cause as determined by the Administrator; and

 

11.2.2 convert any outstanding Incentive Stock Option to a Nonqualified Stock Option.

 

11.3. If a Change of Control has occurred, no amendment or termination shall impair the rights of any person with respect to an outstanding Award as provided in ARTICLE X.

 

ARTICLE XII.

SECURITIES MATTERS AND REGULATIONS

 

12.1. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligation of the Company to sell or deliver Shares with respect to any Award granted under the Plan shall be subject to all Applicable Laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Administrator. The Administrator may require, as a condition of the issuance and delivery of certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such agreements and representations, and that such certificates bear such legends, as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable.

 

12.2. Each Award is subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Administrator determines that the listing, registration or qualification of Shares is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of an Award or the issuance of Shares, no such Award shall be granted or payment made or Shares issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Administrator.

 

12.3. In the event that the disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Shares shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act or regulations thereunder, and the Administrator may require a Participant receiving Common Stock pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Common Stock, to represent to the Company in writing that the Common Stock acquired by such Participant is acquired for investment only and not with a view to distribution.

ARTICLE XIII.

SECTION 409A OF THE CODE

 

13.1. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in an Award Agreement, the Plan and each Award Agreement will be interpreted to the greatest extent possible in a manner that makes the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and, to the extent not so exempt, in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. If the Administrator determines that any Award granted hereunder is not exempt from and is therefore subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award will incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences specified in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, and to the extent an Award Agreement is silent on terms necessary for compliance, such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan (and unless the Award Agreement specifically provides otherwise), if the Shares are publicly traded, and if a Participant holding an Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, no distribution or payment of any amount that is due because of a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code without regard to alternative definitions thereunder) will be issued or paid before the date that is six months following the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code without regard to alternative definitions thereunder) or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death, unless such distribution or payment can be made in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, and any amounts so deferred will be paid in a lump sum on the day after such six month period elapses, with the balance paid thereafter on the original schedule.

 

13.2. With respect to any Award that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service Status shall mean a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, unless the Participant was an Employee immediately prior to such termination and is then contemporaneously retained as a Consultant pursuant to a written agreement and such agreement provides otherwise. The Continuous Service Status of a Participant shall be deemed to have terminated for all purposes of the Plan if such person is employed by or provides services to Subsidiary and such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary, unless the Administrator determines otherwise. To the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, a Participant who ceases to be an Employee of the Company but continues, or simultaneously commences, services as a Director of the Company shall be deemed to have had a termination of Continuous Service Status for purposes of the Plan.

 

ARTICLE XIV.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

14.1. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted hereunder shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or its Affiliates or to serve as a Director or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or its Affiliates or the stockholders of the Company, as applicable, to terminate the employment of a Participant or to release or remove a Director at any time. Unless specifically provided otherwise, no Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed salary or compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under any employee benefit plan or other arrangement of the Company or its Affiliates for the benefit of their respective employees unless the Company shall determine otherwise. No Participant shall have any claim to an Award until it is actually granted under the Plan and an Award Agreement has been executed and delivered to the Company. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall, except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts, except as provided in ARTICLE VII with respect to Restricted Stock and except as otherwise provided by the Administrator.

14.2. The Plan and the grant of Awards shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations and to such approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required. Any provision herein relating to compliance with Rule 16b-3 under the Act shall not be applicable with respect to participation in the Plan by Participants who are not subject to Section 16 of the Act.

Exhibit 14.1

 

 

CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT

 

1. Introduction.

 

1.1. The Board of Directors of Kindly MD, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) has adopted this Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (this “Code”) in order to:

 

(a) promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest;

 

(b) promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company;

 

(c) promote compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

 

(d) deter wrongdoing; and

 

(e) ensure accountability for adherence to this Code.

 

1.2. All directors, officers and employees, including principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer are required to be familiar with this Code, comply with its provisions and report any suspected violations as described below in Section 6.

 

2. Honest and Ethical Conduct.

 

2.1. The Company’s policy is to promote high standards of integrity by conducting its affairs honestly and ethically.

 

2.2. Each director, officer and employee must act with integrity and observe the highest ethical standards of business conduct in his or her dealings with the Company’s customers, suppliers, partners, service providers, competitors, employees and anyone else with whom he or she has contact in the course of performing his or her job.

 

3. Conflicts of Interest.

 

3.1. A conflict of interest occurs when an individual’s private interest (or the interest of a member of his or her family) interferes, or even appears to interfere, with the interests of the Company as a whole. A conflict of interest can arise when an employee, officer or director (or a member of his or her family) takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when an employee, officer or director (or a member of his or her family) receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company.

 

3.2. Loans by the Company to, or guarantees by the Company of obligations of, employees or their family members are of special concern and could constitute improper personal benefits to the recipients of such loans or guarantees, depending on the facts and circumstances. Loans by the Company to, or guarantees by the Company of obligations of, any director or executive officer are expressly prohibited.

 

3.3. Whether or not a conflict of interest exists or will exist can be unclear. Conflicts of interest should be avoided unless specifically authorized as described in Section 3.4.

 

 
 

 

3.4. Persons other than directors and executive officers who have questions about a potential conflict of interest or who become aware of an actual or potential conflict should discuss the matter with, and seek a determination and prior authorization or approval from, their supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer. If the Company does not have a Chief Compliance Officer, then references in this Code to Chief Compliance Officer shall be deemed to be references to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. A supervisor may not authorize or approve conflict of interest matters or make determinations as to whether a problematic conflict of interest exists without first providing the Chief Compliance Officer with a written description of the activity and seeking the Chief Compliance Officer’s written approval. If the supervisor is himself involved in the potential or actual conflict, the matter should instead be discussed directly with the Chief Compliance Officer.

 

3.5. Directors and executive officers must seek determinations and prior authorizations or approvals of potential conflicts of interest exclusively from the Audit Committee, or the Board of Directors if no Audit Committee exists.

 

4. Compliance.

 

4.1. Employees, officers and directors should comply, both in letter and spirit, with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in the cities, states and countries in which the Company operates.

 

4.2. Although not all employees, officers and directors are expected to know the details of all applicable laws, rules and regulations, it is important to know enough to determine when to seek advice from appropriate personnel. Questions about compliance should be addressed to the Chief Compliance Officer.

 

4.3. No director, officer or employee may purchase or sell any Company securities while in possession of material non-public information regarding the Company, nor may any director, officer or employee purchase or sell another company’s securities while in possession of material non-public information regarding that company. It is against Company policies and illegal for any director, officer or employee to use material non-public information regarding the Company or any other company to (a) obtain profit for himself or herself; or (b) directly or indirectly “tip” others who might make an investment decision on the basis of that information.

 

5. Disclosure.

 

5.1. The Company’s periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC, including all financial statements and other financial information, must comply with applicable federal securities laws and SEC rules.

 

5.2. Each director, officer and employee who contributes in any way to the preparation or verification of the Company’s financial statements and other financial information must ensure that the Company’s books, records and accounts are accurately maintained. Each director, officer and employee must cooperate fully with the Company’s accounting and internal audit departments, as well as the Company’s independent public accountants and counsel.

 

5.3. Each director, officer and employee who is involved in the Company’s disclosure process must: (a) be familiar with and comply with the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting; and (b) take all necessary steps to ensure that all filings with the SEC and all other public communications about the financial and business condition of the Company provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure.

 

6. Reporting.

 

6.1. Actions prohibited by this Code involving directors or executive officers must be reported to the Audit Committee, or the Board of Directors if no Audit Committee exists.

 

6.2. Actions prohibited by this Code involving any other person must be reported to the reporting person’s supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer.

 

 
 

 

6.3. After receiving a report of an alleged prohibited action, the Audit Committee, or the Board of Directors if no Audit Committee exists, the relevant supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer must promptly take all appropriate actions necessary to investigate.

 

6.4. All directors, officers and employees are expected to cooperate in any internal investigation of misconduct.

 

7. Enforcement.

 

7.1. The Company must ensure prompt and consistent action against violations of this Code.

 

7.2. If, after investigating a report of an alleged prohibited action by a director or executive officer, the Audit Committee determines that a violation of this Code has occurred, the Audit Committee will report such determination to the full Board of Directors.

 

7.3. If, after investigating a report of an alleged prohibited action by any other person, the relevant supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer determines that a violation of this Code has occurred, the supervisor or the Chief Compliance Officer will report such determination to the Chief Executive Officer or the General Counsel, if the Company has a General Counsel.

 

7.4. Upon receipt of a determination that there has been a violation of this Code, the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer or General Counsel will take such preventative or disciplinary action as it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, reassignment, demotion, dismissal and, in the event of criminal conduct or other serious violations of the law, notification of appropriate governmental authorities.

 

8. Waivers and Amendments.

 

8.1. Each of the Audit Committee (or the Board of Directors if no Audit Committee exists) (in the case of a violation by a director or executive officer) and the Chief Executive Officer or General Counsel (in the case of a violation by any other person) may, in its discretion, waive any violation of this Code or make any amendment of this Code

 

8.2. Any waiver for a director or an executive officer or any amendment of this Code shall be disclosed as required by SEC rules and the applicable rules of any trading market on which the Company’s securities are listed or quoted, or on the Company’s website within four (4) business days following the date of such amendment or waiver

 

9. Prohibition on Retaliation.

 

The Company does not tolerate acts of retaliation against any director, officer or employee who makes a good faith report of known or suspected acts of misconduct or other violations of this Code.
