PROSPECTUS


[VYNL_S1001.JPG]


VYNLEADS, INC.


5,490,941 shares of common stock


This prospectus relates to periodic offers and sales of up to 5,490,941 shares of our outstanding common stock by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from this offering and have not made any arrangements for the sale of these securities. We will use our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the resale registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, from the effective date through and until all securities registered under the registration statement have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, or “Securities Act.”


There is currently no market for our common stock. The shares of our common stock may be offered and sold by selling stockholders at a fixed price of $0.225 per share until our common stock is quoted on either the OTCQX or OTCQB tiers of the OTC Markets, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices or in transactions that are not in the public market. There can be no assurances that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, to secure a quotation of our common stock on the OTC Markets, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.


Our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2018 we had cash on hand of approximately $80,000 and we estimate our current monthly burn rate to be approximately $35,000. We expect this amount to increase in future periods once we begin incurring additional expenses associated with our obligations as a public company which are presently estimated to be $100,000 annually. Historically, we have funded our operating expenses from proceeds received from loans from related parties and the sale of debt and equity securities. We will need to raise substantial additional funds to pay our operating expenses and support the continued growth of our operations for the next 12 months. While we have been able to raise working capital through the sale of our securities in private transactions in the past and we continue to seek to raise additional capital on a best efforts basis, there are no assurances that we will be successful in raising any of the necessary amounts necessary to continue to fund our working capital needs.


We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or “JOBS Act,” and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings.


The purchase of the securities offered through this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5.


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.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


This summary does not contain all of the information that should be considered before investing in our common stock. Investors should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the more detailed information regarding our business, the risks of purchasing our common stock discussed in this prospectus under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 5 of this prospectus.


About us


We are a provider of health and wellness information principally targeted to people who are prediabetes or who have type 2 diabetes . Type 2 diabetes is a condition characterized by high blood glucose levels caused by either a lack of insulin or the body's inability to use insulin efficiently. Type 2 diabetes develops most often in middle-aged and older adults but can appear in children, teens, and young people . According to the American Diabetes Foundation, type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes 1 . While many people may need to take oral medications or insulin as prescribed by their physicians to help the person meet his or her targeted blood glucose levels, according to the American Diabetes Foundation s ome people with type 2 diabetes can control their blood glucose with healthy eating and being active. We do not render medical advice, but provide information to our customers who are seeking to make healthy choices by providing clear, generic blueprints, education, resources, and support. Our core product is our proprietary Lifestyle Blueprint, a digital guide that provides dietary recommendations for a very low calorie eight week diet together with information focusing on what, how and how much a person eats, nutritional information and how a person’s body does and does not use food to enable our customers to continue leading a more successful lifestyle. We also offer nutritional supplements and monthly subscriptions to our proprietary newsletter which covers a wide variety of healthy living-related topics.


We generate revenue through the sale of Lifestyle Blueprints, monthly subscriptions to our proprietary newsletters and the sale of nutritional supplements. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (unaudited), we reported revenues, net of refunds and chargebacks, of $1,493,073 and $1,156,316, respectively, and net (losses) of $(381,509) and $(202,732) respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we reported revenues, net of refunds and chargebacks, of $2,698,501 and $2,168,903, respectively, and net income (losses) of $(434,137) and $5,940 respectively.


Emerging Growth Company Status


We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the “JOBS Act”, and we are permitted to take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including not being required to have our internal controls over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.


We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.


We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of:


 

·

the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion;

 

 

 

 

·

the date that we becomes a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or

 

 

 

 

·

the date we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.


At this time we expect to remain an emerging growth company until 2018. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with that term in the JOBS Act.

RISK FACTORS


The shares of our common stock being offered for resale by the selling stockholders are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this process before investing in our common stock.


Risks Related to our Business


We have a history of losses and there are no assurances we will report profitable operations in the foreseeable future. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.


We have experienced recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows, and have financed our recent working capital requirements primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities, as well as borrowings from related parties. We reported a net loss of $434,137 for 2017 and net cash used in operations of $680,916. We reported a net loss of $381,509 for the first six months of 2018 and net cash used in operations of $203,361. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We may continue to incur losses in future periods until such time, if ever, as we are successful in significantly increasing our revenues and cash flow beyond what is necessary to fund our ongoing operations and expand our product offerings. If we are able to significantly increase our revenues in future periods, the rapid growth which we are pursuing will strain our organization and we may encounter difficulties in maintaining the quality of our operations. If we are not able to grow successfully, it is unlikely we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to pay our operating expenses or report profitable operations in future periods. In such event, it is unlikely we would be unable to continue as a going concern and you could lose your entire investment in our company.


We will need additional financing which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms, if at all. If we cannot raise additional capital as needed, our ability to continue to grow our company could be in jeopardy.


Capital is needed for the effective development and expansion of our business as well as to pay our operating expenses until such time, if ever, that we are able to significantly increase our revenues. Our future capital requirements, however, depend on a number of factors, including our ability to manage our business, internally grow our revenues, control our expenses, and achieve significant and consistent profitability. Based upon our reasonable estimates, we expect that the additional costs we will initially incur after the date of this prospectus to fulfill our public company reporting obligations will be approximately $100,000 annually. Our management estimates that we will need to raise approximately $5,000,000 in the next 12 months to meet our current business objectives, including the development of new indicators for our Lifestyle Blueprint platform, the addition of print versions of our DWD Protocol, expanding our supplement product line and additional subscription content offerings for our customers, as well as to provide funds for increases in our advertising and marketing costs, costs associated with the development of additional infrastructure to support our expected growth, and funds to pay our operating expenses and general working capital. Because there is presently no market for our common stock, we expect to encounter difficulties in raising capital until such time, if ever, that a market for our common stock is established. Even once a market for our common stock is established, of which there can be no assurances, we expect these difficulties to continue until such time, if ever, that we are able to establish an active market for our securities. We cannot assure you that additional working capital will be available to us upon terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds as needed, our ability to pay our operating expenses and grow our company will be in jeopardy and investors risk losing their entire investment.


Our operating results are dependent upon the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising programs.


Our business success depends upon our ability to retain our existing customers and attract new customers for our Lifestyle Blueprint, new subscribers to our newsletters and purchasers the nutritional supplements we sell. We are a relatively new company and lack the brand recognition of the vast majority of our competitors who have longer operating histories and greater financial resources that we do. The effectiveness of our marketing practices, in particular our advertising campaigns, is important to our financial performance. If our marketing and advertising campaigns do not generate a sufficient number of new customers, or enable us to retain our existing customers, our revenues and results of operations in future periods will be adversely affected.

Our management has limited experience in operating a public company.


While our non-management director has experience in the management of publicly traded companies, our executive officers have no experience in the management of a publicly traded company. Our management team may not successfully or effectively manage our transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their lack of experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage to us in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time will be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of our company. It is possible that we will be required to expand our employee base and hire additional employees, including a chief financial officer experienced in public company financial reporting, to support our operations as a public company which will increase our operating costs in future periods.


We are an “emerging growth company” and we are able to take advantage of reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, which could result in our shares of common stock being less attractive to investors.


In 2015, we elected to become an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we as such we are able to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our shares of common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, at such time, if ever, that a trading market for our common stock is established, there may be a less active trading market for our shares of common stock and the market price of such securities may be more volatile.


Our status as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it.


Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company” we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.


We do not know what impact, if any, the recent removal of net neutrality rules will have on our business.


Both our Lifestyle Blueprint and our newsletters are delivered to our customers over the Internet. In 2015, the Federal Communications Commission, or “FCC,” released an order, commonly referred to as net neutrality, that, among other things, prohibited the impairment or degradation of lawful internet traffic on the basis of content, application or service and the practice of favoring some internet traffic over other internet traffic based on the payment of higher fees. In December 2017, the FCC voted to overturn the net neutrality regulations imposed by the 2015 order. Internet service providers in the U.S. may now be able to impair or degrade the use of, or increase the cost of access to the Internet. The FCC’s order could adversely impact our business, for example by increasing the cost of Internet service and thereby reducing the number of our customers or potential customers. While to date, we have noticed no impact from the removal of the pre-existing net neutrality rules, in the future changes by network operators in how they handle and charge for access to data that travels across their networks could adversely impact our business.

Evolving information security and data privacy laws and regulations may result in increased compliance costs, impediments to the development or performance of our products, and monetary or other penalties.


Because our products collect customer data that may contain personally identifiable information, we are or may become subject to federal, state and foreign laws and regulations regarding the privacy and protection of such data. These laws and regulations address a range of issues, including data privacy, cybersecurity and restrictions or technological requirements regarding the collection, use, storage, protection, retention or transfer of data. The regulatory framework for data privacy and cybersecurity issues worldwide can vary substantially from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Foreign privacy and data protection laws and regulations can be more restrictive than those in the United States. In the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation, or “GDPR,” came into force in May 2018. The GDPR replaced the EU Data Protection Directive and related country-specific legislation. The GDPR includes operational and governance requirements for companies that collect or process personal data of residents of the European Union that differ from or expand upon those currently in place in the European Union. The GDPR also provides for significant penalties for non-compliance. Following the adoption of the GDPR we ceased accepting product orders or advertising in the EU. We do not believe this decision has had a material adverse impact on our business.


We depend upon Internet search companies to attract a significant portion of new customers to our websites, and any change in the search companies’ search algorithms or perception of us or our industry could result in our websites being placed less prominently in either paid or algorithmic search result listings, in which case the number of potential new customers to our websites and our revenues could decline.


We depend in significant part on various Internet search and social media companies, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft, to distribute messaging and marketing of products to potential new customers. These websites typically allow for viral and paid distribution through algorithmic and paid listings. Algorithmic, or organic, postings/listings are determined and displayed solely by a set of formulas designed by the respective social/search companies. Paid listings can be purchased and then are displayed if based on a user’s search/post. Placement on these services is generally not determined solely on the price, but also takes into account the search engines’ assessment of the quality of the website featured in the paid listing and other factors. We rely on both algorithmic and paid results, as well as advertising on other websites, to direct a substantial share of potential new customers to our websites. Our ability to maintain the number of potential new customers to our websites is not entirely within our control. For example, Internet search websites frequently revise their algorithms in an attempt to optimize their search result listings or to maintain their internal standards and strategies. Changes in the algorithms could cause our websites to receive less favorable placements, which could reduce the number of users who visit our website/social platforms. If visits/views to our website/social platforms decrease, we may need to resort to more costly sources to replace lost visitors/engagement, and such increased expense could adversely affect our business and profitability.


Adverse publicity associated with our proprietary content, the nutritional supplements we sell, or information provided by similar companies could adversely affect our business.


Our results of operations in future periods may be significantly affected by the public's perception of our company and similar companies. This perception is dependent upon opinions concerning:


 

·

the validity and accuracy of our informational content as it pertains to health and wellness matters;

 

 

 

 

·

the health and wellness benefits achieved, or lack of benefits achieved, as a result of following recommendation made through our informational content offerings and/or the consumption of the nutritional supplements we sell;

 

 

 

 

·

the safety and quality of ingredients used in the nutritional supplements we sell; and

 

 

 

 

·

the safety and quality of products and ingredients similar to those recommended by us or used in the nutritional supplements which are distributed by other companies.


Adverse publicity concerning any actual or purported failure of our company to comply with applicable laws and regulations regarding information provided by our informational content or other aspects of our business, whether or not resulting in enforcement actions or the imposition of penalties, could have an adverse affect on the goodwill of our company and could negatively affect our ability to attract and retain customers, which would have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue.




7



 


In addition, our customers’ perception of the validity, accuracy and value of our informational content and the safety and quality of the nutritional supplements we sell, as well as similar content and recommendations and products provided or distributed by other companies, can be significantly influenced by national media attention, publicized scientific research or findings, widespread product liability claims and other publicity concerning our informational content and recommendations and/or the nutritional products we sell. Adverse publicity, whether or not accurate or resulting from customers’ use or misuse of our informational content, recommendations and products, that associates the use of our informational content and recommendations or use of the nutritional supplements we sell or any similar content, recommendations, or products offered or sold by other companies with illness or other adverse effects, or which questions the benefits of our or similar informational content, recommendations, and products could have a material adverse effect on our reputation or the market demand for our subscription services or products.


We rely on third parties to provide us with nutritional supplements, fulfillment, customer service and Internet and networking services, the loss of any of which could cause our revenue, earnings or reputation to suffer .


Nutritional supplements. We do not manufacture the nutritional supplements we sell. We rely solely on a third-party to manufacturer the nutritional supplements we sell. In 2017, all of our nutritional supplement purchases were from one vendor. If we are unable to obtain a sufficient quantity of nutritional supplements from our current manufacturer, we will be unable to fulfill our customers’ orders in a timely manner, which may cause us to lose revenues or incur higher costs, as well as damage the value of our brand. While we believe we could locate a replacement manufacturer in such event, it would likely take time to engage a replacement supplier which could adversely impact our revenues during such transition period and there are no assurances our costs would not increase to a level which makes the product unattractive to our customers.


Fulfillment . We utilize a third-party fulfillment company to process and ship orders of our supplements to our customers. In 2017, all of our order fulfillment was handled by one third-party provider. Should this provider be unable to service our needs for even a short duration, our revenue and business could be harmed. Additionally, the cost and time associated with replacing this provider on short notice would add to our costs. Any replacement fulfillment provider would also require startup time, which could cause us to lose sales in future periods.


Customer service. We utilize a third party to provide customer service call handling, email management and chargeback management. As with our fulfillment provider, should this customer service provider be unable to service our needs even for a short duration, our revenue and business could be harmed, we would incur cost and time associated with replacing this provider on short notice, and any replacement customer service provider would also require startup time, all of which could cause us to lose sales in future periods.


Internet and Networking . Our business also depends on a number of third parties for Internet hosting, access and networking, and we have limited control over these third parties. Should our network connections go down, our ability to fulfill orders would be delayed. Further, if our websites or call center become unavailable for a noticeable period of time due to Internet or communication failures, our business could be adversely affected, including harm to our brands and loss of sales.


Therefore, we are dependent on maintaining good relationships with these third parties. The services we require from these parties may be disrupted by a number of factors associated with their businesses, including the following:


 

·

with respect to our supplement provider, shortages of ingredients or United States Food and Drug Administration, or “FDA,” regulatory concerns;

 

 

 

 

·

labor disputations;

 

 

 

 

·

delivery problems;

 

 

 

 

·

internal inefficiencies;



8



 



 

·

the third parties’ financial condition;

 

 

 

 

·

equipment failure;

 

 

 

 

·

severe weather; or

 

 

 

 

·

natural or man-made disasters.


We may be subject to health or advertising related claims from our customers .


Our Lifestyle Blueprint and newsletters do not include medical treatment or medical advice, and we do not engage physicians or nurses to monitor the progress of our customers. Many people who are prediabetes or who have type 2 diabetes could be considered a high-risk population. A customer who experiences health problems could allege or bring a lawsuit against us on the basis that those problems were caused or worsened by our products. Further, customers who allege that they were deceived by any statements that we made in advertising or labeling could bring a lawsuit against us under consumer protection laws. Currently, we are neither subject to any such allegations nor have we been named in any such litigation. If we were subject to any such claims, while we would defend ourselves against such claims, we may ultimately be unsuccessful in our defense. Also, defending ourselves against such claims, regardless of their merit and ultimate outcome, would likely be lengthy and costly, and adversely affect our results of operations. Further, our general liability insurance may not cover claims of these types.


We are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints that could increase in severity and hurt results of operations .


Our industry is subject to federal, state and other governmental regulation. Certain federal and state agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission, or the “FTC”, regulate and enforce such laws relating to advertising, disclosures to consumers, privacy, consumer pricing and billing arrangements and other consumer protection matters. A determination by a federal or state agency, or a court, that any of our practices do not meet existing or new laws or regulations could result in liability, adverse publicity and restrictions of our business operations. Some advertising practices in the wellness and nutritional supplement industry, in particular, have led to investigations from time to time by the FTC and other governmental agencies and many companies in the wellness and nutritional supplement industry, have entered into consent decrees with the FTC relating to wellness and nutritional supplement claims and other advertising practices. In addition, the FTC’s Guides concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising require us and other wellness and nutritional supplement companies to use a statement as to what the typical benefits a customer can expect to achieve on our programs when using a customer’s wellness benefit testimonial in advertising. Federal and state regulation of advertising practices generally, and in the wellness and nutritional supplement industry in particular, may increase in scope or severity in the future, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.


Failure to protect our intellectual property rights or claims by others that we infringe their intellectual property rights could substantially harm our business.


Our proprietary content is crucial to our business. We also rely on a combination of trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Our success depends on the protection of the proprietary aspects of our content as well as our ability to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. Despite these measures, any of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or misappropriated. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our intellectual property rights. Therefore, in certain jurisdictions, we may be unable to protect our proprietary content adequately against unauthorized third party use, which could adversely affect our ability to compete in future periods.

If the security of our customers’ confidential information stored in our systems is breached or otherwise subjected to unauthorized access, secure information may be stolen, our reputation may be harmed, and we may be exposed to liability.


Our internet content and e-commerce platform stores information, which may be personally-identifiable sensitive information, of our past, current and prospective customers. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access could cause secure information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes. Security breaches or unauthorized access to secure information could also expose us to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation, and negative publicity. If security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in our internet content and e-commerce platform are exposed and exploited, and, as a result, a third party or disaffected employee obtains unauthorized access to any of our customers’ data, our relationships with our customers will be severely damaged, and we could incur significant liability. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are launched against a target, we and our third-party hosting services, content providers and e-commerce providers may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, many states have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving their personal data. These mandatory disclosures regarding a security breach are costly to implement and often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause our customers to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our data security measures. Any security breach, whether actual or perceived, would harm our reputation, and we could lose customers.


We depend on the services of our executive officers. The loss of either of their services could harm our ability to operate our business in future periods.


Our success largely depends on the efforts, reputation and abilities of Alex J. Mannine, our Chief Executive Officer, and Stan Bezusov, our Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Operating Officer, both of whom are founders of our company. While we are a party to an employment agreement with Mr. Mannine and do not expect to lose his services in the foreseeable future, the loss of his services could materially harm our business and operations in future periods. We are not a party to an employment agreement with Mr. Bezusov. While we do not expect to lose the services of Mr. Bezusov in the foreseeable future, if he should choose to leave our company our business and operations could be harmed until such time as we were able to engage a suitable replacement for him.


We may experience product liability claims and litigation to prosecute such claims, and we may not have adequate insurance coverage to cover the cost of such claims.


Even though we do not manufacture the nutritional supplements we sell, as a distributor of products for human consumption, we may experience product liability claims and litigation to prosecute such claims. Additionally, the sale of these products involves the risk of injury to consumers as a result of tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Although we maintain product liability insurance, it may not be sufficient to cover all product liability claims, and such claims that may arise could have a material adverse effect on our business. If insurance coverage is inadequate or unavailable or premium costs continue to rise, we may face additional claims not covered by insurance, and claims that exceed coverage limits or that are not covered could have a material adverse effect on us.


We have not assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting and there are no assurances either of these are effective. If there is a material weakness in either, there are no assurances that our financial statements will not contain errors which could require us to restate our financial statements.


Following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is part, we will be required to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, and thereafter to report on a quarterly basis, in our quarterly and annual reports which we will file with the SEC, our management’s conclusion regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, in our annual report for 2017 we will also become subject to SEC rules which will require us to include a report of our management in our annual report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. However, as we will in all likelihood be a smaller reporting company when we are first required to provide this report, we will be exempt from the auditor attestation requirements concerning our report at the time the first report is issued, and will remain exempt from those attestation requirements so long as we remain a smaller reporting company.




10



 


As we are not presently subject to these rules, our management has not conducted an assessment of the sufficiency of our disclosure controls and procedures for any period nor have we begun evaluating our internal control systems in order to allow our management to report on our internal control over financial reporting. Once our management undertakes these assessments and evaluations, there are no assurances our management will conclude that either our disclosure controls and procedures and/or our internal control over financial reporting are effective, and that there are not significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses in either or both. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, so that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting. In the event we identify significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and/or our internal control over financial reporting, there are no assurances that our financial statements will not contain one or more errors which will require us to restate those financial statements. If we cannot remediate these significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses in a timely manner, or if we are required to restate our financial statements, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements which would adversely impact our ability to grow our company.


Risks Related to our Common Stock and this Offering


There is no market for our common stock.


There is no market for our common stock. Following the date of this prospectus we expect to seek a market maker to file an application for quotation of our common stock on either the OTCQX or OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets. There can be no assurances, however, that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA to secure a quotation of our common stock on the OTC Markets nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved. Accordingly, there may never be a market for our common stock and stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.


At such time as a market for our common stock, if ever, the tradability of our common stock may be limited under the penny stock regulations which may cause the holders of our common stock difficulty should they wish to sell the shares.


If the quoted price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share and we do not meet certain other exemptions, at such time, if ever, that a market for our common stock is established our common stock will be considered a “penny stock,” and trading in our common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker/dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent prior to the transaction. SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a “penny stock,” including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities and this limited liquidity will make it more difficult for an investor to sell his shares of our common stock in the secondary market, should a market be established and should the investor wish to liquidate the investment. In addition to the applicability of the penny stock rules, other risks associated with trading in penny stocks could also be price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market.


The ability of our officers and directors to control our business may limit or eliminate minority stockholders’ ability to influence corporate affairs.


Our officers and directors control approximately 49% of our outstanding common stock. As a result of the concentrated ownership of the stock, our officers and directors may be able to control all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company. It could also deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and it may affect the market price of our common stock.




11



 


Delaware law contains anti-takeover provisions that could deter takeover attempts that could be beneficial to our stockholders.


Provisions of Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may make the acquisition of our company and the removal of incumbent officers and directors more difficult by prohibiting stockholders holding 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock from acquiring us, without our board of directors' consent, for at least three years from the date they first hold 15% or more of the voting stock.


Certain of our outstanding warrants contain cashless exercise provisions which means we will not receive any cash proceeds upon their exercise.


At June 30, 2018 we had common stock warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 485,766 shares of our common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.225 to $0.90 per share, of which warrants to purchase 100,000 shares are exercisable on a cashless basis. This means that the holder, rather than paying the exercise price in cash, may surrender a number of warrants equal to the exercise price of the warrants being exercised. It is possible that the warrant holder will use the cashless exercise feature, in which event it will deprive us of additional capital which might otherwise be obtained if the warrants were exercised on a cash basis.


The elimination of monetary liability against our directors and officers under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights held by our directors and officers may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors and officers.


Our certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of our directors and officers to our company and our stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the extent permissible under Delaware law. Further, our bylaws provide that we are obligated to indemnify any of our directors or officers to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law. Those indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against our directors or officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against any of our current or former directors or officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even if such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us or our stockholders.


If the selling security holders all elect to sell their shares of our common stock at the same time, the market price of our shares may decrease.


It is possible that the selling security holders will offer all of the shares for sale. Further, because it is possible that a significant number of shares could be sold at the same time hereunder, the sales, or the possibility thereof, may have a depressive effect on the market price of our common stock at such time, if ever, that a market for our common stock is established.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS


At September 19, 2018 we had 11,399,830 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. This prospectus relates to periodic offers and sales of up to 5,490,941 shares of our outstanding common stock by the selling stockholders listed below. These shares were issued and sold to the selling stockholders by us under the terms of the private placement described earlier in this prospectus under “Prospectus Summary – Summary of the Offering.”


We are registering the shares to permit the selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest to, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock in the over the counter market, on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions when and as they deem appropriate in the manner described in the “Plan of Distribution.”


The following table sets forth:


 

·

the name of each selling stockholder;

 

 

 

 

·

the number of common shares owned; and

 

 

 

 

·

the number of common shares being registered for resale by the selling stockholder.


The following table sets forth certain information known to us as of the date of this prospectus and as adjusted to reflect the sale of the shares offered hereby with respect to the beneficial ownership of our A common stock by the selling stockholders. We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to update the disclosure set forth in this prospectus. Because the selling stockholders may sell some or all of the securities owned by them, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the securities, no estimate can be given as to the number of securities that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of any offering made hereby.

Except as set forth above, none of the selling stockholders has, or within the past three years has had, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates. We have agreed to pay full costs and expenses, incentives to the issuance, offer, sale and delivery of the shares, including all fees and expenses in preparing, filing and printing the registration statement and prospectus and related exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto and mailing of those items. We will not pay selling commissions and expenses associated with any sale by the selling stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


We are registering the shares of our common stock to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the selling stockholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of our common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of our common stock.


The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected from time to time pursuant to one or more of the following methods, which may involve crosses or block transactions:


 

·

on any U.S. inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

 

 

 

·

in the over-the-counter market;

 

 

 

 

·

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

 

 

 

 

·

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

 

 

 

 

·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

 

 

 

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares 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;

 

 

 

 

·

public or privately negotiated transactions;

 

 

 

 

·

through the settlement of short sales;

 

 

 

 

·

transactions in which broker-dealers agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

 

 

 

·

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

 

 

 

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.


If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions, and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales, provided , that the short sales are made after the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers in connection with bona fide margin accounts secured by the shares of common stock, which shares broker-dealers could in turn sell if the selling stockholders default in the performance of their respective secured obligations.




19



 


The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if any of them defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. We will file an amendment or supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.


The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters or broker-dealers.


Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock 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 shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.


The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock 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 shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock, should a market for such shares be established of which there are no assurances, and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.


In compliance with the guidelines of FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of the proceeds from any offering of the shares of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.


Once resold under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.


Any shares covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144, rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

THE COMPANY


Overview


We are a provider of health and wellness information principally targeted to people who are prediabetes or who have type 2 diabetes . Type 2 diabetes is a condition characterized by high blood glucose levels caused by either a lack of insulin or the body's inability to use insulin efficiently. Type 2 diabetes develops most often in middle-aged and older adults but can appear in children, teens, and young people . According to the American Diabetes Foundation, type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. While many people may need to take oral medications or insulin as prescribed by their physicians to help the person meet his or her targeted blood glucose levels, according to the American Diabetes Foundation s ome people with type 2 diabetes can control their blood glucose with healthy eating and being active. We do not offer products targeted to customers with type 1 diabetes, nor do we render medical advice. We provide information to our customers who are seeking to make healthy choices by providing clear, generic blueprints, education, resources, and support. Our core product is our proprietary Lifestyle Blueprint, a digital guide that provides dietary recommendations for a very low calorie eight week diet together with information focusing on what, how and how much a person eats, nutritional information and how a person’s body does and does not use food to enable our customers to continue leading a more successful lifestyle. We also offer nutritional supplements and monthly subscriptions to our proprietary newsletter which covers a wide variety of healthy living-related topics.


Our informational content, which is developed by our company based upon publicly available studies and other sources of information, is rooted in:


 

·

Education and Action . Our goal is to help our audience understand the root of a healthy lifestyle, and give action-based blueprints that provide long-term commitment to their newfound education;

 

 

 

 

·

Easy . Each aspect of our behavior change protocols is simple, and reasonably attainable;

 

 

 

 

·

Avoid Guesswork . We give clear path guides to help real people, without confusion. In an information-overload world, we seek to do all of the groundwork in order to give our audience the right data and resources they need to succeed; and

 

 

 

 

·

Support and Community . We provide a platform for our customers to ensure resilience and follow-through as they seek to achieve their healthy-living goals.

We sell the Lifestyle Blueprint for $49. In addition to the Lifestyle Blueprint, we also offer monthly subscriptions to our newsletters which cover a wide variety of health and lifestyle topics. Examples of recent newsletter titles are “7 Habits That Will Make You a Healthier Person,” “The Power of Positivity,” “Relaxation Practices Actually Changes Your Genes,” and “The Facebook Phenomenon Explained.” These newsletters are written by our staff and are based upon content aggregated from a number of publicly available sources. Monthly subscription rates are $19.90.


We also offer two nutritional supplements, including our DWD x3 Advanced Daily Supplement and our Premium-Grade Omega x3 supplement, which are manufactured for us in Vermont by Food Science® Corporation. These nutritional supplements are made of all-natural, non-toxic, and non-GMO ingredients. Our DWD x3 is also the only supplement to contain the combination of Glucevia, GlucodOX, and BenofoPure, which together are believed to enhance the body’s ability to absorb, use, and regulate glucose while also reducing hunger and preventing damage from diabetic neuropathy.


We do not provide medical advice to our customers. The information and content which appears in our Lifestyle Blueprint and our newsletters are written by our staff and based upon a wide range of publicly available information and studies, including those published by Newcastle University and the National Institutes of Health. The content and information is also reviewed by our medical advisors prior to publication. Neither the Lifestyle Blueprint nor our newsletters are intended, however, as a substitute for medical advice provided by a physician or other health care provider. All information provided in the Lifestyle Blueprint and any other products we provide relating to specific medical conditions, health care preventive care, and healthy lifestyles, is presented for informational purposes only. We advise our customers that the information in the Lifestyle Blueprint should not be considered complete or exhaustive, and does not cover all disorders or conditions or their treatment, nor all health-related issues. We further advise our customers that they should consult with their physician or other health care provider when deciding on any health-related regimen, including diet or exercise, and for any specific individual medical advice.


Markets for Lifestyle Blueprints


The first market we entered is the prediabetes and type 2 diabetes markets that we believe represent a marketplace of approximately $245 billion. Based upon our research, we believe the U.S. healthcare market is approximately $2 trillion in the aggregate. According to the International Diabetes Federation, the number of people with diabetes has risen from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. Most of these cases are attributed to the lack of sufficient education on the impact of nutrition, diet, and lifestyle. The Center for Disease Control estimates almost all type 2 diabetes cases are the result of a lack of physical activity and/or obesity, accounting for 95% of diagnosed diabetes cases. In 2012, approximately 1.5 million people died from diabetes and another 2.2 million deaths were attributable to high blood glucose based upon the World Health Organization. By 2030, the World Health Organization has predicted that diabetes will become the seventh leading cause of death. According to the International Diabetes Foundation, approximately 187 million are not even aware they have the disease. As a result, these people will see their medical expenses double and their quality of life diminish if the disease goes untreated.


Our model is highly scalable and we believe that we can enter new markets in a low cost and measured way. We expect to expand our product offerings in the future to include a Lifestyle Blueprint designed for adults who are overweight or obese. We also intend, over time, to expand our product offerings with additional Lifestyle Blueprints targeted to individuals with cardiovascular disease, memory loss and dementia, addiction, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and the h uman papillomavirus virus ( HPV). We have not, however, determine when we will be expand our product offerings and there are no assurances we will ever do so.

Marketing and sales


We sell products on our websites at www.constitutionalhealth.com and www.dwdprotocol.com. We utilize digital media, primarily paid search, paid social, affiliate marketing and display advertising to drive traffic to our web site. We also use social networking sites, including Facebook, Twitter and various blogs. In 2017 and 2016 we spent $1,366,064 and $1,205,005, respectively, on advertising. In addition, we spent $801,235 on advertising during the first six months of 2018.


Our Lifestyle Blueprint is digitally delivered by us. We have engaged Argo Marketing Group, Inc. to provide customer relations services for us in connection with sales of our products. Under the terms of the agreement entered into in November 2015, Argo Marketing Group, Inc. is responsible for all customer service call handling, email management and chargeback management. We agreed to pay the company various initial and additional set up fees, customer services fees tiered to the weekly minutes, per transaction fees for email resolutions or return processing and chargeback management, among other fees. The initial term of the agreement was for one year, with automatic one year renewals unless either party provides 30 day written notice of non-renewal. The agreement may be terminated by Argo Marketing Group, Inc. for non-payment, in the event of our bankruptcy or insolvency and by either party upon a breach or without cause. Mr. Mannine, our chief executive officer, has personally guaranteed our obligations under this agreement.


We do not manufacture the private label nutritional supplements we sell. These nutritional supplements are manufactured on a per order basis for us by Food Science® Corporation, a 40- year old Vermont-based family owned company focused on nutritional research and product development. We utilize the services of a third-party fulfillment company to ship the nutritional supplements to our customers, and pay this provider an order and per item fee.


We believe our relationships with our supplement supplier and the third party providers we utilize for fulfillment and customer service are good. However, while we believe we can replace the third party providers for fulfillment and customer service with comparable companies at similar costs to us, a disruption in the relationship with our supplement supplier would materially impact our business until such time as we were able to establish a relationship with an alternative supplier.


Competitors


We seek to compete with a number of larger, more established companies that provide health and wellness content and market nutritional supplements, including Nutrisystem, Inc. (NasdaqGS: NTRI), Medifast, Inc. (NYSE: MED) and Weight Watchers International, Inc. (NYSE: WTW), as well as privately held Virta Health Corp. and television and media personality Dr. Axe. In addition, while we do not offer products targeted to customers with type 1 diabetes, some of our competitors target customers with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. All of these potential competitors have greater brand awareness and financial resources that we do. While we are seeking to compete by focusing on our niche proprietary content, we do not presently have the financial resources available to us to effectively market our company on a large scale or to develop new products to quickly respond to a marketplace dominated by well established, well capitalized companies. There are no assurances we will ever establish brand recognition at a sufficient level to permit us to generate any significant revenues or to effectively compete in our market.


Information Systems


Our ecommerce and websites and our tools and trackers, all of which are based primarily on third-party software customized to meet our business needs, are each hosted in top tier hosting facilities. These facilities provide redundant network connections, physical and fire security and generator power back up for the equipment upon which our websites rely and are intended to provide an uninterruptible power supply. Our servers and our network are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week.


We use a variety of security techniques to protect our confidential customer data. When our customers place an order or access their account information, we secure that transaction by using encryption technologies, including transport layer security, or TLS. Our customer data is protected against unauthorized access by security measures and we engage a variety of industry leading technology providers including VeriSign, CyberSource and SecureWorks to further ensure the security of our credit card transactions and the safety of our customers’ personal information.




23



 


Intellectual property


We currently rely on a combination of trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Our success depends on the protection of our proprietary rights as well as our ability to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We utilized the unregistered brand name “Constitutional Health” in our business. We have been granted a limited non-transferrable, royalty-free license by NatureX Inc. to utilize the trademark “Glucevia®” for so long as we continue to acquire its faxinus excelsior seed extract which is a component of our DWD 3 nutritional supplements.


We also own the domain names www.vynleads.com, wearedwd.com, dwdprotocol.com, codexone.org and www.constitutionalhealth.com, together with a number of additional domain names which we may use in future periods. However, as with phone numbers, we do not have and cannot acquire any property rights in an Internet address. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in other countries is also subject to change. Regulatory bodies could establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we might not be able to maintain our domain names or obtain comparable domain names, which could harm our business.


Government regulation


Our industry is subject to federal, state and other governmental regulation. Certain federal and state agencies, such as the FTC, regulate and enforce such laws relating to advertising, disclosures to consumers, privacy, consumer pricing and billing arrangements and other consumer protection matters. A determination by a federal or state agency, or a court, that any of our practices do not meet existing or new laws or regulations could result in liability, adverse publicity and restrictions on our business operations. The FTC has in the past instituted enforcement actions against dietary supplement and food companies for false and misleading advertising of some of their products. There are no assurances that the FTC will not question our advertising claims in the future. An enforcement action brought by a government agency, like the FTC in the United States, or a class action lawsuit, could adversely affect our reputation and potentially result in significant penalties and costs, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.


Other aspects of our industry are also subject to government regulation. For example, the manufacturing, labeling and distribution of food products, including nutritional supplements, are subject to strict United States Department of Agriculture, or “USDA,” and United Stated Food and Drug Administration, or “FDA,” requirements and food manufacturers are subject to rigorous inspection and other requirements of the USDA and FDA, and companies operating in foreign markets must comply with those countries’ requirements for proper labeling, controls on hygiene, food preparation and other matters. We rely on our supplement supplier to follow all applicable government regulation. If our supplement supplier should fail to conform to all applicable regulations, or if federal, state, local or foreign regulation of our industry increases for any reason, then we may be required to modify or discontinue our supplement offerings which could harm our operating results. Additionally, remedies available in any potential administrative or regulatory actions may include product recalls and requiring us to refund amounts paid by all affected customers or pay other damages, which could be substantial. 


Aspects of our industry are also subject to state regulations. In 1986, California passed The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, which is commonly known as “Proposition 65.” This proposition seeks to prevent businesses from exposing consumers to certain toxins, including lead, arsenic and PCBs, without providing a warning. Because Proposition 65 did not set a safe harbor limit for reproductive health and PCBs, all products containing even trace amounts of PCBs require a specific warning label. In addition, for any food or nutritional supplements containing over 0.09 micrograms per day of PCBs, the state mandated warning label is expanded to include an additional cancer warning. While at this time, the supplements we marked and sell do not contain the ingredients to require Proposition 65 disclosure, it is possible in the future other supplements we may market and sell will require the warning labels. It is also possible at additional states will also enact legislation which could require us to change the type of nutritional supplements or other products we market, or discontinue offering certain products and services if the estimated cost of compliance outweighs the potential revenues.


Laws and regulations directly applicable to communications, operations or commerce over the Internet such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, libel and taxation, are becoming more prevalent and some remain unsettled. If we are required to comply with new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations, or if we are unable to comply with these laws, regulations or interpretations, our business could be adversely affected. Future laws or regulations, including laws or regulations affecting our marketing and advertising practices, relations with consumers, employees, service providers, or our services and products, may have an adverse impact on us.

Employees


At September 19, 2018 we had two employees including our two executive officers.


Properties


We rent executive office space on a month to month basis under a co-working agreement with an unrelated third party at a monthly fee of $200.


Legal proceedings


In 2016 we engaged a third party to provide certain promotional services to us in connection with our business, including the use of his name and appearance, under the terms of a five year agreement. As compensation, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to promote and sell a book authored by him, and to pay him, as a royalty, a percentage of the sales of the book, after deductions for all direct costs of fulfilling such sales. During 2017 the third party initiated a series of informal claims and filed unauthorized uniform commercial code (UCC) financing statements in several states against us and certain of our officers, directors, and founders, alleging non-payment of the royalty amounts. We dispute all claims by the third party, and believe that all royalty amounts due him have been paid in full. We are no longer selling the book authored by him. We have succeeded in removing certain of the UCC liens and we are pursuing actions to remove the remaining unauthorized UCC lien.


History of our company


Our corporation was formed in Delaware in July 2015.


In January 2016 we acquired certain the assets of LibertySniper.com, including email and subscriber list databases, email service provider contracts and dedicated IP addresses, editorial content, lead generation campaigns, pen name and voice of publisher Michael Westan, email tripwire campaigns and welcome series content, and all account access related to LibertySniper.com, including hosting, Google Analytics, Adwords and content management system license. Under the terms of the sales agreement, we paid the seller $50,000.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS


There is no market for our common stock.


Dividend policy


We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Under Delaware law, we are prohibited from paying cash dividends if the distribution would result in our company not being able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or if our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, we were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. While our board of directors will make any future decisions regarding dividends as circumstances surrounding our company changes, presently it is not anticipated that we will pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.


Intent to b ecome a fully reporting company


Immediately following the date of this prospectus, we expect to file a registration statement on Form 8-A with the SEC, which will register our common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. This filing will require us to file annual, quarterly and other reports with the SEC, as well as proxy and information statements, among other filings. It will also obligate our officers, directors and principal stockholders to file reports under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. We will take this action to ensure that we are a fully reporting company and that financial and other information about out company is available to our stockholders and potential investors.


Rule 144


At September 19, 2018 we had 11,399,830 shares of our common stock outstanding, all of which are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144. We have included 5,490,941 of those shares in this prospectus. In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person, or person whose shares are aggregated, who is not our affiliate or has not been an affiliate during the prior three months and owns shares that were purchased from us, or any affiliate, at least six months previously, is entitled to make unlimited public resales of such shares provided there is current public information available at the time of the resales. After a one-year holding period a non-affiliate is entitled to make unlimited public resales of our shares without the requirement that current public information be available at the time of the resales. A person, or persons whose shares are aggregated, who are affiliates of our company and own shares that were purchased from us, or any affiliate, at least six months previously is entitled to sell within any three-month period, a number of shares of our common stock that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, subject to manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.


Future sales of restricted common stock under Rule 144 or otherwise or of the shares which we are registering under this prospectus could negatively impact the market price of our common stock should a market develop in the future, of which there is no assurance. We are unable to estimate the number of shares that may be sold in the future by our existing stockholders or the effect, if any, that sales of shares by our stockholders will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time, should a market develop.




26



 


Penny stock rules


At such time as a market for our common stock is established, of which there are no assurances, transactions in our common stock will be subject to compliance with rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:


 

·

contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

 

 

 

 

·

contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities’ laws;

 

 

 

 

·

contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

 

 

 

 

·

contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

 

 

 

 

·

defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and

 

 

 

 

·

contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.


The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:


 

·

bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

 

 

 

 

·

the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

 

 

 

 

·

the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

 

 

 

 

·

monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.


In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.


These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, if developed, for so long as it remains subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, because our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 as well as for 2017 and 2016 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this prospectus. All information for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is unaudited. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this prospectus. We use words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "plan," "project," "continuing," "ongoing," "expect," "believe," "intend," "may," "will," "should," "could," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.


Overview


We are a provider of health and wellness information principally targeted to people who are prediabetes or who have type 2 diabetes . Type 2 diabetes is a condition characterized by high blood glucose levels caused by either a lack of insulin or the body's inability to use insulin efficiently. Type 2 diabetes develops most often in middle-aged and older adults but can appear in children, teens, and young people . According to the American Diabetes Foundation, type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. While many people may need to take oral medications or insulin as prescribed by their physicians to help the person meet his or her targeted blood glucose levels, according to the American Diabetes Foundation s ome people with type 2 diabetes can control their blood glucose with healthy eating and being active. We do not offering products targeted to customers with type 1 diabetes, nor do we render medical advice. We provide information to our customers who are seeking to make healthy choices by providing clear, generic blueprints, education, resources, and support. Our core product is our proprietary Lifestyle Blueprint, a digital guide that provides dietary recommendations for a very low calorie eight week diet together with information focusing on what, how and how much a person eats, nutritional information and how a person’s body does and does not use food to enable our customers to continue leading a more successful lifestyle. We also offer nutritional supplements and monthly subscriptions to our proprietary newsletter which covers a wide variety of healthy living-related topics. Subject to the availability of sufficient working capital, we are exploring adding a hard copy “print” version of our protocols to supplement our current digital versions, and we are exploring working with our supplement supplier to expand our supplement offerings to include daily multivitamins and probiotics.


Key metrics and events :


 

·

our revenues, net of refunds and chargebacks, increased 29.1% during the first six months of 2018 from the first six months of 2017, and 24.4% in 2017 from 2016;

 

 

 

 

·

our operating loss for the first six months of 2018 increased to $380,867 from $202,732 for the first six months of 2017, and increased to $442,983 for 2017 from operating income of $23,485 in 2016;

 

 

 

 

·

between November 2017 and January 2018 we raised $1,239,960 through the sale of shares of our common stock in a private placement which has provided capital to us to further improve quality in branding and marketing of our products, as well as for our operating expenses and for working capital. We also used a portion of those proceeds to repurchase securities from one of our stockholders and to retire related party debt; and

 

 

 

 

·

our working capital has declined to $157,724 at June 30, 2018 from $481,524 at December 31, 2017.


We expect our revenues to continue to increase during the balance of 2018 from the comparable periods in 2017 because of current customer re-order revenues from supplements, alongside new and recurring content subscriptions. We also anticipate to continue generating new customers with our DWD Lifestyle Blueprint, by continuing advertising spend to ensure compounding revenue generation through the end of the year, and into the future. Our supplement costs are expected to remain consistent throughout the balance of 2018, but we do expect continued volatility in our advertising costs over the near future, as our platforms for revenue scale become more competitive on bidding prices and our general lack of capitalization to demand mass advertising or cash deposit cost reductions. We also expect our primary platform for advertising, Facebook, to continue to be volatile amidst consumer trust or privacy issues over which we have no control. We also expect our selling, general and administrative, or “SG&A,” expenses to continue to increase as we add infrastructure to support our expected growth.

We recognize revenue from internet content subscriptions and sales of e-commerce products. We also include shipping and handling fees billed to our customers as revenue. The terms of subscriptions to our content permit our customers to cancel anytime with a no-hassle 60 day refund policy on digitally delivered products. We offer the same refund policy for supplements which must be returned unopened within 60 days before a full refund can be issued by us. As a result, and based upon our historical operations to date, we report our revenues net of refunds and chargebacks. The refund reserves are the amount expected to be refunded on the sales recorded on a gross basis, calculated by us on the historic refund rate and are recorded against gross revenues. In addition, it is customary for credit card companies to withhold a portion of the gross revenue due us from a sale to a customer usually to ensure that we properly handle any customer requested refunds in accordance with our stated policies. The amount of the chargeback withheld by the credit card processors is released to us on a rolling 180 day schedule.


We believe that the increase in our revenues in from 2016 to 2017, as well as the increase during the first six months of 2018 from the comparable period in 2017, reflect improvements and optimizations in our product branding, marketing strategy, packaging, and advertising in an effort to reach new and current customers. During the last six months of 2017 and the first two months of 2018, we conducted various live-market price testing and package testing campaigns in a effort to more effectively optimize various metrics we use in the advertising of our products and services.

Our cost of revenue includes the cost of the supplements we sell as well as shipping and handling costs for shipments to customers. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue has increased as a result of increases in our product sales packaging which, while increasing our costs, also positively impacted our new customer acquisition rate.

The principal components of the increase in SG&A from 2016 to 2017 including wages and salaries, legal expenses, insurance, charitable contributions and consulting and accounting costs.

Liquidity and capital resources


Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. The following table summarizes our total current assets, total current liabilities and working capital at June 30, 2018 as compared to December 31, 2017.

The reduction in total current assets between the periods primarily reflects a reduction in cash and holdback receivables from merchants, as well as the collection of a subscription receivable of $99,090 during the 2018 period. The increase in total current liabilities reflects an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. We do not have any capital commitments and do not have any external sources of working capital.

We used cash in our operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily to fund our net loss, offset by an increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses and a reduction of our holdback receivable. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we used cash in our operating activities primarily to fund our net loss which was offset by an increase in our accounts payable and accrued expenses.


The increase in cash used in our operating activities in 2017 as compared to 2016, reflects both cash used to fund our net loss as well as an increase in our holdback receivable during the 2017 period.


Net cash used in investing activities during 2016 reflects the purchase of our e-mail subscriber list.


Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 reflects proceeds from the sale of our securities in a private placement and the collection of the subscription receivable from 2017. Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 reflects the partial repayment of a related party note.


During 2017, net cash provided by financing activities primarily reflects the sale of securities by us in a private placement and proceeds of loans from related parties, offset by repayments of those loans and the repurchase of shares of our common stock from a stockholder. During 2016, net cash provided in financing activities reflects the proceeds of a related party loan.


Going concern and management’s liquidity plans


We have experienced recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows, and have financed our recent working capital requirements primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities, as well as borrowings from related parties. We reported a net loss of $434,137 for 2017 and net cash used in operations of $680,916. We reported a net loss of $381,509 for the first six months of 2018 and net cash used in operations of $203,361. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.




30



 


Our ability to continue to grow our business is dependent upon our ability to raise additional sufficient capital to fund our operating expenses until such time, if ever, that we are able to report profitable operations, as well as for our short-term and long-term growth plans. Our management estimates that we require approximately $5,000,000 in additional working capital during the next 12 months in order to meet our current business objectives, including the development of new indicators for our Lifestyle Blueprint platform, the addition of print versions of our DWD Protocol, expanding our supplement product line and additional subscription content offerings for our customers. This additional working capital is also necessary to fund increases in our advertising and marketing costs, costs associated with the development of additional infrastructure to support our expected growth, as well as funds to pay our operating expenses and general working capital. While we were successful in raising funds privately during late 2017 and into the first quarter of 2018 as described elsewhere herein, and will seek to do so in future periods, we do not have any firm commitments to provide any additional capital to us. There are no assurances we will be successful in securing the additional capital necessary to grow our company and pay our operating expenses. Any delay in raising sufficient funds could adversely impact our ability to continue to increase our revenues in future periods. In addition, if we are unable to raise the necessary additional working capital, absent a significant increase in our revenues, of which there is no assurance, we may be forced to reduce certain operating expenses in an effort to conserve our working capital which will adversely impact our revenues and results of operations in future periods.


Critical accounting policies


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include how we record net revenues, estimates related to the allowance for doubtful accounts and the valuation of warrants that are deemed to be not indexed to our common stock. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 3 to our audited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.


Recent accounting pronouncements


The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or “FASB,” or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.


Off balance sheet arrangements


As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

We engaged Dr. Song in March 2018 to serve as our Lead Medical Advisor under the terms of an advisory agreement and to provide ongoing support of medical quality control of our DWD Protocol, other to-be-determined protocols, insight and guidance to us on the development of further programs and information products for our DWD brand, advice on possible new business opportunities for our company, and reviewing and commenting upon current DWD materials and medical recommendations. The initial term of the agreement is one year, subject to both earlier termination or additional one year renewal terms as agreed upon by the parties. We paid Dr. Song an initial retainer of $5,000 and pay her a monthly fee of $2,000. In addition, we issued Dr. Song a five-warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share, vesting in thirds on the date of this prospectus, one year after the date of this prospectus and two years after the date of this prospectus. The warrant, which is exercisable on a cashless basis, is subject to immediate termination upon certain events, including the closing of an initial underwritten public offering by us, the closing of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, or the closing of the acquisition of our company by another entity by means of merger, consolidation or other transaction or series of related transactions, resulting in the exchange or purchase of the outstanding shares of our capital stock such that our stockholders prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, less than 90% of the voting power of the surviving entity The agreement contains customary confidentiality, non-compete and indemnification provisions.


Board of directors


Each director will be elected at our annual meeting of stockholders and will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until his successor is elected and qualified. If any director resigns, dies or is otherwise unable to serve out his or her term, or if the board increases the number of directors, the board may fill any vacancy by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum exists. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor. Vacancies occurring by reason of the removal of directors without cause may only be filled by vote of the stockholders.


Board leadership structure and board’s role in risk oversight


The board of directors oversees our business affairs and monitors the performance of management. While we do not presently have any independent directors, as our business grows we expect to expand our board to include independent directors and establishing committees of our board.


Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face, while the board, as a whole, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.


Committees of the board; stockholder nominations; audit committee financial expert


We have not established any committees of our board of directors, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by the board of directors as a whole. Because we do not have any independent directors, we believe that the establishment of these committees would be more form than substance.


Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our board members be independent, and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committee of our board of directors.


We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates, which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our board of directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees, nor do we have a policy regarding director diversity. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our board has not considered or adopted any of these policies, as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors. Given our relative size, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our board will participate in the consideration of director nominees. In considering a director nominee, it is likely that our board will consider the professional and/or educational background of any nominee with a view towards how this person might bring a different viewpoint or experience to our Board.

·

is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;

has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements;

 

 

 

 

·

understands internal controls over financial reporting; and

 

 

 

 

·

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics


We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and which will apply to our Chief Financial Officer or any other persons performing similar functions, if and when such positions are hired by us. This code provides written standards that we believe are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, and full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports we file with the Securities Exchange Commission. A copy of this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available without charge upon written request to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices.


Director compensation


Our board of directors has not adopted a director compensation policy. During 2016 we paid Mr. Stetsenko $50,000 as a director fee. We did not compensate our directors for their services on the board during 2017. During 2016 and 2017 we also pay an affiliate of Mr. Stetsenko’s fees for consulting services as described later in this prospectus under “ Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions ”.


Terminated stockholders’ agreement


In July 2015 following the formation of our company Messrs. Mannine, Bezusov and Stetsenko entered into a stockholders’ agreement with us which, as amended, contained various terms related to rights to designate members of the board of directors, establishing super majority voting rights under certain circumstances, rights of first refusal on the sale of shares of securities by any of these founding stockholders, drag along and tag along rights, a call option as well as non-compete and confidentiality provisions. In July 2017 following his purchase of shares of our securities from Messrs. Mannine and Bezusov in private transactions, Mr. Christos Livadas executed a joinder agreement becoming a party to the stockholders’ agreement. In June 2018 the parties to this stockholders’ agreement terminated the agreement. Mr. Livadas continues to provide advisory services from time to time to our management on an informal basis without compensation.

Employment agreements and how our executive’s compensation is determined


Mr. Mannine


Mr. Mannine’s compensation has historically been determined by the board of directors of which he is a member. In June 2018, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Mannine pursuant to which he was engaged to serve as our Chief Executive Officer. The initial term of the agreement expires in June 2023, subject to successive automatic one year renewals unless a non-renewal notice is received by either party at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then current renewal term. Mr. Mannine’s compensation includes:


 

·

an annual base salary of $130,000, subject to an annual review with an increase of at least 5% per annum as determined by the board of directors;

 

 

 

 

·

an annual bonus as determined by the board of directors;

 

 

 

 

·

a grant of 10 year options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.225 per share which vest upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part;

 

 

 

 

·

participation in all benefit plans we may offer our employees; and

 

 

 

 

·

20 paid vacation days annually.


Mr. Mannine's employment agreement may be terminated, and he is entitled to certain payments upon such termination, as follows:


 

·

if we should terminate Mr. Mannine’s employment without “cause” or if he should resign for “good reason" or if a “change of control” occurs, we are obligated to pay him a lump-sum severance payment equal to the sum of three months’ base salary, plus one month for every year he was employed and 50% of three years annual bonus (based on the prior year’s compensation);

 

 

 




35



 



 

·

if Mr. Mannine’s employment is terminated as a result of his death or disability, he is entitled to receive his base salary and a pro rata annual bonus, if any, based on the year during which such termination is effective ; or

 

 

 

 

·

if we should terminate Mr. Mannine for “cause,” or if he voluntarily terminates the agreement, he is entitled to receive his base salary only through the date of termination, and he is not be entitled to any other compensation for the calendar year during which the termination occurs or any subsequent calendar period, including, but not limited to, any annual bonus, if any, that has not already been paid.


The employment agreement with Mr. Mannine contains customary confidentiality, non-compete and indemnification clauses.


Mr. Bezusov


We are not a party to an employment agreement with Mr. Bezusov and the compensation he is paid for his services which is in the form of consulting fees is determined by the board of directors. Our current verbal agreement with Mr. Bezusov provides that we will pay him a monthly fee of $8,300 for his services. In 2017 and 2016 we paid Mr. Bezusov $63,300 and $102,950, respectively, in consulting fees.

Limitation on liability


Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation, if such directors, officers, employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a provision which eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of the fiduciary duty of care or any other duty as a director.


Insofar as the limitation of, or indemnification for, liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such limitation or indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan


In December 2017 our board of directors adopted our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, or the “2017 Plan.” Our stockholders ratified the 2017 Plan in December 2017. The purpose of the 2017 Plan is to encourage ownership in our company by our officers, directors, employees and consultants, and to incentivize and align the interests of the plan participants with the interests of our stockholders. We have reserved 1,100,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2017 Plan. 2017 Plan grants may be:


 

·

incentive stock options (ISOs);

 

 

 

 

·

non-statutory stock options (NSOs);

 

 

 

 

·

stock awards, including shares of our common stock and stock units; and

 

 

 

 

·

stock appreciation rights (SARs).


The board of directors or a committee of the board of directors administers the 2017 Plan. Presently, the 2017 Plan is administered by our board of directors. The term of each plan option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors, provided that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant. The terms of grants of any other type of award under the plan are determined by the board of directors or committee of the board of directors at the time of grant. The 2017 Plan provides that the maximum value of any award during any calendar year cannot exceed $1,000,000.


Any option granted under the plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, but the exercise price of any ISO granted under the 2017 Plan to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock must not be less than 110% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The 2017 Plan further provides that with respect to ISOs the aggregate fair market value of the common stock underlying the options which are exercisable by any plan participant during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. Option awards may provide for the exercise by means of cash, consideration received by us under a broker-assisted sale and remittance program, cashless exercise, any other consideration legally permitted, or a combination of the foregoing. The 2017 Plan administrator may also determine the method of payment of the exercise price at the time the option is being exercised. Grants under the 2017 Plan are not transferrable.


Generally, options which are exercisable at the date of the plan participant’s termination from our employment or severance of the relationship with our company must be exercised within three months of the termination date; the plan administrator may extend the exercise period of the option for a separated plan participant providing that the extended date does not go beyond the original expiration date of the option. Similarly, generally options which are exercisable at the date of the plan participant’s disability or death must be exercised within six months of the termination date in the event of the disability of the plan participant or 12 months following the plan participant’s death. In our discretion, any outstanding options held by a plan participant terminated for cause may be immediately cancelled.


In the event there is a “change in control” of our company as defined in the 2017 Plan, as determined by the board of directors or the committee, we may in our discretion:


 

·

provide for the assumption or substitution of, or adjustment (including to the number and type of shares and exercise or purchase price applicable) to, each outstanding award;

 

 

 

 

·

accelerate the vesting of options and terminate any restrictions on stock awards; and/or

 

 

 

 

·

provide for termination of awards as a result of the change in control on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, including providing for the cancellation of awards for a cash or other payment to the participant.


The number of shares of our common stock underlying any outstanding but unexercised option and the exercise price of that option will be proportionally adjusted in the event of stock split, stock combinations, dividends and similar corporate events.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


In July 2015 we borrowed $200,000 from CRG Finance AG, an entity controlled by Mr. Stetsenko, a co-founder of our company and a member of the board of directors, under the terms of a 10-year secured promissory note. We utilized these funds for working capital. The note bore interest at 2.75% per annum and was collateralized by a first position security interest in our assets. From August 2015 through March 2016, we borrowed $195,000 from CRG Finance AG, of which $50,000 was repaid during the year ended December 31, 2016, and the balance of $145,000 in principal plus accrued interest of $5,872 was repaid in 2017 utilizing a portion of the proceeds we received from the private placement of our shares of common stock described earlier in this prospectus under “Prospectus Summary – Summary of the Offering.”


In 2016 we advanced $60,300 to Mr. Mannine as an unsecured loan. At the end of 2016 he converted this advance to compensation.


In 2017 and 2016 we paid CRG Finance AG $27,000 and $12,000, respectively, in consulting fees. We paid CRG Finance AG an additional $10,000 in consulting fees during the six months ended June 30, 2018.


In July 2017 we borrowed $125,000 from each of Mr. Mannine and Mr. Bezusov under the terms of identical unsecured promissory notes. The notes, which bore interest at 10% per annum, maturing 18 months from the date of issuance. Principal and interest under these notes automatically converted into shares of our common stock at such time we closed a financing of at least $1 million, or at any time at the option of the holder, at a conversion price that was equal to the lowest per share purchase price of capital stock issued in the financing. The notes also contained certain acceleration clauses upon an “acquisition event” as described in the note, which also includes a change of control of 50% or more of the outstanding equity interests of our company. In December 2017, Mr. Mannine converted the principal and interest due under his note into 138,889 shares of our common stock in full satisfaction of his note. In November 2017 we also repaid Mr. Bezusov $125,000 in full satisfaction of his note utilizing a portion of the proceeds we received from the private placement of our shares of common stock described earlier in this prospectus under “Prospectus Summary – Summary of the Offering.” Mr. Bezusov forgave the accrued interest associated with that note.


In May, 2018 we entered into an Amended and Restated Strategic Financing & Corporate Development Agreement with CRG Finance AG, which was amended and restated an earlier agreement entered into in October 2017. We have engaged this company to serve as our non-exclusive strategic financing and corporate development services provider and to render certain advice and services to us as we may reasonably request concerning equity or debt financings, strategic planning, merger and acquisition possibilities and business development activities. The scope of services under this agreement also includes introducing us to one or more non-U.S. persons, as that term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act, in connection with possible debt or equity financings or potential lenders. The initial term of the agreement expires in May 2019, subject to automatic one year renewals unless notice of non-renewal is provided by either party at least 30 days prior to the renewal term commencement.


As compensation under the terms of this agreement, we agreed to pay CRG Finance AG certain fees for transactions which are consummated during the term of the agreement and for a one year period following the termination of the agreement, including:


 

·

a fee equal to 7% of the proceeds received by us plus a warrant exercisable into 7% of the shares of our common stock at the offering price of our shares for sales by us of equity or equity-linked securities to non-U.S. Persons introduced to us by CRG Finance AG;

 

 

 

 

·

a fee equal to 1% of the total gross cash proceeds or non-cash consideration received by us, together with a five year warrant exercisable into 1% of the securities issued or to be issued by us in a business combination with a non-U.S. person first introduced to us by CRG Finance AG;

 

 

 

 

·

a fee equal to 1% of consideration received by us in any debt financing not convertible into equity, including, but not limited to, a revolving credit line or credit enhancement instrument, including on an insured or guarantee basis, with a non-U.S. Person first introduced to us by CRG Finance AG; and

 

 

 

 

·

a fee equal to 2% of any revenue-producing contract, fee-sharing arrangement, licensing, royalty or similar agreement with a non-U.S. Person first introduced to us by CRG Finance AG.


In addition to the foregoing fees, we have agreed to reimburse CRG Finance AG for its pre-approved out of pocket expenses it incurs under the terms of the agreement. The agreement contains customary confidentiality and indemnification provisions.




39



 


Between November 2017 and January 2018 we paid CRG Finance AG an aggregate cash fee of $84,000 and issued it a five year warrant to purchase 385,766 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.225 per share as compensation for introducing the non-U.S. Persons to us who purchased shares in our private placement described earlier in this prospectus. The term of the warrant includes piggy-back registration rights which are exercisable at any time after the date of this prospectus.


In January 2018 Mr. Alex Mannine, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our board of directors, returned 1,250,000 shares of common stock to us for no consideration and such shares were cancelled.


In January 2018 Mr. Sergei Stetsenko, a member of our board of directors, returned 1,000,000 shares of common stock to us for no consideration and such shares were cancelled.

Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock, which ranks senior to our common stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation. In addition, our board of directors can fix limitations and restrictions, if any, upon the payment of dividends on both classes of our common stock to be effective while any shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

Business


Vynleads, Inc. (“Vynleads”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on July 15, 2015. We are a provider of health and wellness information principally targeted to people who are pre-diabetes or who have type 2 diabetes . We provide information to our customers who are seeking to make healthy choices by providing clear, generic blueprints, education, resources, and support. Our core product is our proprietary Lifestyle Blueprint, a digital guide that provides dietary recommendations for a very low calorie eight week diet together with information focusing on what, how and how much a person eats, nutritional information and how a person’s body does and does not use food to enable our customers to continue leading a more successful lifestyle. We also offer nutritional supplements and monthly subscriptions to our proprietary newsletter which covers a wide variety of healthy living-related topics.


Our corporate headquarters are located in Rock Hill, South Carolina.


2.

Liquidity and Going Concern


Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since July 15, 2015, the date of our inception, we have experienced recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows, and have financed our recent working capital requirements primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities, as well as borrowings from related parties. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we have reported net losses of $381,509 and $202,732, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 our working capital was $157,724, our accumulated deficit was $894,668, and we had negative cash flows from operations of $203,361. As a result, management believes that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


Despite our current sales, expense, cash flow projections, and aggregate cash and cash receivable from our merchants, net of reserve for refunds, of $203,033, we will require substantial funds to expand service and product offerings into additional areas, market and promote our services and product offerings; and develop and grow our infrastructure and corporate organization. Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to our ability to generate sufficient revenues to pay our operating expenses.


Our ability to meet our current and projected obligations depends on our ability to generate sufficient sales and to control expenses and will require that we seek additional capital through private and/or public financing sources. There can be no assurances that we will achieve our forecasted financial results or that we will be able to raise additional capital to operate our business. Any such failure would have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and financial condition and could force us to curtail or discontinue operations entirely and could require us to file for protection under bankruptcy laws. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Basis of Presentation


The accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the financial position as of June 30, 2018 have been made. The results of operations for such interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Use of Accounting Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We believe that judgement is involved in determining the valuation of our reserve for refunds, our holdback reserve, the fair value-based measurement of stock-based compensation, accruals and the estimated useful life of intangible assets. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to the condensed financial statements.


Cash


Cash includes cash on hand, is deposited at one area bank and may exceed federally insured limits at times. We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.


Holdback Receivable


Holdback receivable includes a merchant holdback net of a reserve for refunds, which reserve is $42,188 and $58,188 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.


Intangible Assets


We evaluate the carrying value of our intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, including disposition, are less than the carrying value of the asset. To date, we have not recorded any impairment charges on our intangible assets.


In January 2016, we purchased an e-mail subscriber list and other related information for $50,000. We estimated the useful life of this asset to be three years from the date of acquisition and recorded amortization of $8,326 during each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.


Revenue Recognition


The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Topic 606, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the timing or amounts of revenue recognized in our unaudited condensed financial statements and therefore did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the impact was immaterial. Also, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.


Revenues are recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to our customers at a point in time, in an amount specified in the contract with our customer and that reflects the consideration The Company expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company also assesses our customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including our customer’s historical payment experience and financial condition.

We generate revenues primarily from (i) internet content subscriptions and (ii) sales of e-commerce products. Revenues are recognized upon the acceptance of subscription membership or electronic delivery of e-commerce products provided that an order has been received or a contract executed, there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is deemed reasonably assured. If uncertainties regarding customer acceptance exist, we recognize revenues when those uncertainties are resolved, and title has been transferred to the customer. Amounts collected or billed prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue.


Shipping and Handling Costs


We include shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenue and shipping and handling costs for shipments to customers as cost of revenue.


Advertising Costs


Advertising costs for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $801,235 and $689,774, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred or at the first time the advertising activity takes place.


Income (Loss) Per Share


Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus additional weighted-average common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, the proceeds of which are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding common stock using the treasury stock method. In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in income (loss) that would result from the assumed conversion of potential shares. Potentially dilutive shares, which were excluded from the diluted income (loss) per share calculations because the effect would be antidilutive, or the warrants or options exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares, were 585,766 and 0 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.


Income Taxes


The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The TCJA, among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, effective as of January 1, 2018; limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense; limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, in each case, for losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 (though any such tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely).


The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA. In connection with the initial analysis of the impact of the TCJA, we re-measured our deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. The re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities was offset by a change in the valuation allowance.


We are still in the process of analyzing the impact to us of the TCJA. Where we have been able to make reasonable estimates of the effects related to which our analysis is not yet complete, we have recorded provisional amounts. The ultimate impact to our financial statements of the TCJA may differ from the provisional amounts due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions we may take as a result of the TCJA. The accounting is expected to be complete on or about the time that our 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018.

The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.


We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. We evaluate this tax position on a quarterly basis. We also accrue for potential interest and penalties, if applicable, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.


Stock-Based Compensation


Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The valuation of employee stock options is an inherently subjective process, since market values are generally not available for long-term, non-transferable employee stock options. Accordingly, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized to derive an estimated fair value. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires the consideration of the following six variables for purposes of estimating fair value:


 

·

the stock option exercise price;

 

·

the expected term of the option;

 

·

the grant date price of our common stock, which is issuable upon exercise of the option;

 

·

the expected volatility of our common stock;

 

·

the expected dividends on our common stock (we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future); and

 

·

the risk-free interest rate for the expected option term.


Expected Dividends. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on any of our capital stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we use an expected dividend yield of zero to calculate the grant-date fair value of a stock option.


Expected Volatility. The expected volatility is a measure of the amount by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of options granted. We determine the expected volatility solely based upon the historical volatility of our common stock over a period commensurate with the option’s expected term. We do not believe that the future volatility of our common stock over an option’s expected term is likely to differ significantly from the past.


Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the option’s expected term on the grant date.


Expected Term. For option grants subsequent to the adoption of the fair value recognition provisions of the accounting standards, the expected life of stock options granted is based on the actual vesting date and the end of the contractual term.


Stock Option Exercise Price and Grant Date Price of Common Stock. The closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant.


We are required to estimate the level of award forfeitures expected to occur and record compensation expense only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest. This requirement applies to all awards that are not yet vested. Due to the limited number of unvested options outstanding, all of which are held by our Chief Executive Officer, we have estimated a zero forfeiture rate. We will revisit this assumption periodically and as changes in the composition of the option pool dictate.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


We follow Accounting Standards Codification 820-10 (“ASC 820-10”), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” for fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on an exit price, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.


The hierarchy established under ASC 820-10 gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:


Level 1 - Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. As required by ASC 820-10, we do not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.


Level 2 - Pricing inputs are quoted prices for similar investments, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes investments valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to these investments.


Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment, that is, inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 includes investments that are supported by little or no market activity.


The carrying amounts of our cash, holdback receivable, subscriptions receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


We have evaluated all issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and determined that, other than the following, they are either immaterial or not relevant to us.


In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) “ASU 2016 - 02 Leases” intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The ASU affects all companies and other organizations that lease assets such as real estate, office equipment and manufacturing equipment. The ASU will require organizations that lease assets - referred to as “lessees” - to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases.


Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current U.S. GAAP - which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet - the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The accounting by organizations that own the assets leased by the lessee - also known as lessor accounting - will remain largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP. However, the ASU contains some targeted improvements that are intended to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and with the updated revenue recognition guidance issued in 2014. The ASU on leases will take effect for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other organizations, the ASU on leases will take effect for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. It is not anticipated that this updated guidance will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In January 2016, the FASB issued “ASU 2016 - 01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The ASU affects public and private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. The new guidance makes targeted improvements to existing U.S. GAAP by:


 

·

Requiring equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income;

 

·

Requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes;

 

·

Requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements;

 

·

Eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for organizations that are not public business entities;

 

·

Eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and

 

·

Requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments.


The ASU on recognition and measurement will take effect for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans, the standard becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The ASU permits early adoption of the own credit provision (referenced above). Additionally, it permits early adoption of the provision that exempts private companies and not-for-profit organizations from having to disclose fair value information about financial instruments measured at amortized cost. It is not anticipated that this guidance will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606): identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing “The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. The Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method on January 1, 2018. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the timing or amounts of revenue recognized in our unaudited condensed financial statements and therefore did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Furthermore, we expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to our revenue and gross profit on an ongoing basis. We did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the impact was immaterial. Also, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

Related Party Transactions


On July 15, 2015, we entered into a secured promissory note (the “CRG Note”) with CRG Finance AG (“CRG”). Mr. Sergei Stetsenko is the CEO of CRG and a member of our board of directors. The original principal of the CRG Note was $200,000, matured on July 15, 2025 and bore interest at the rate of 2.75% per annum. Pursuant to a Security Agreement we pledged all of our assets as collateral pursuant to the terms of the CRG Note. The CRG Note allowed for prepayment without any prepayment penalties. From August 2015 through March 2016, we borrowed $195,000 on the CRG Note of which $50,000 was repaid during the year ended December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017 we repaid the balance of $145,000 in principal plus accrued interest of $5,872. Following such repayment, the security interest in our assets was released. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we repaid $0 and $22,000 in principal, respectively. There was no obligation with respect to the CRG Note as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.


On October 10, 2017, we entered into a non-exclusive Strategic Financing and Corporate Development Services Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with CRG. Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, CRG was retained to help us with certain financing and corporate development initiatives. The initial term of the Financing Agreement was for one year effective from May 1, 2017 and provided for a cash commission of 7% of the gross proceeds of an equity financing derived from non-U.S. investors introduced to us by CRG. In addition, the Financing Agreement provided for additional compensation in the form of five year common stock warrants equal to 7% of the total shares issued in such equity financing at an exercise price equal to the lowest price paid per share in such equity financing. During November and December 2017, as part of a private placement of common stock (the “Private Placement”) we raised $1,183,211 in gross proceeds, issuing 5,258,724 shares of common stock and accrued $82,825 in cash commissions to CRG, of which $68,309 was paid as of December 31, 2017. The remaining $14,516 is recorded in accounts payable as of December 31, 2017 in the accompanying Condensed Balance Sheets. In addition, as of December 31, 2017, CRG had earned 368,111 warrants, which were issued in January 2018.


During January of 2018, as part of the Private Placement, we sold an additional 252,217 shares or our common stock at a price of $0.225 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $47,972 after payment of offering expenses. In connection with these additional issuances, CRG earned commissions of $1,175 and an additional 17,655 fully vested common stock warrants with an exercise price of $0.225. These additional warrants were issued to CRG on January 30, 2018.


In addition to the commission paid for Private Placement, we paid CRG $10,000 and $0, respectively during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 in consulting fees.


During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we paid Mr. Stanislav Bezusov, our Chief Operating Officer, $53,000 and $16,500, respectively, in consulting fees pursuant to a verbal agreement with him. Such verbal agreement provides that we pay him a monthly fee of $8,300. We are not a party to an employment agreement with Mr. Bezusov and the compensation he is paid for his services is determined by the board of directors.


On January 22, 2018, Mr. Alex Mannine, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our board of directors, returned 1,250,000 shares of common stock to us for no consideration and such shares were cancelled.


On January 22, 2018, Mr. Sergei Stetsenko, a member of our board of directors, returned 1,000,000 shares of common stock to us for no consideration and such shares were cancelled.


On May 21, 2018 we entered into an Amended and Restated Strategic Financing & Corporate Development Agreement with CRG which was amended and restated an earlier agreement entered into in October 2017.  We have engaged this company to serve as our non-exclusive strategic financing and corporate development services provider and to render certain advice and services to us as we may reasonably request concerning equity or debt financings, strategic planning, merger and acquisition possibilities and business development activities. The scope of services under this agreement also includes introducing us to one or more non-U.S. persons, as that term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act, in connection with possible debt or equity financings or potential lenders. The initial term of the agreement expires in May 2019, subject to automatic one year renewals unless notice of non-renewal is provided by either party at least 30 days prior to the renewal term commencement.

Commitments and Contingencies


Employment Agreement


On June 14, 2018, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Mannine pursuant to which he was engaged to serve as our Chief Executive Officer. The initial term of the agreement expires in June 2023, subject to successive automatic one year renewals unless a non-renewal notice is received by either party at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then current renewal term. Mr. Mannine’s compensation includes:


 

·

an annual base salary of $130,000, subject to an annual review with an increase of at least 5% per annum as determined by the board of directors;

 

 

 

 

·

an annual bonus as determined by the board of directors;

 

 

 

 

·

a grant of 10 year options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.225 per share which vest upon the effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

 

 

 

 

·

participation in all benefit plans we may offer our employees; and

 

 

 

 

·

20 paid vacation days annually.


Mr. Mannine's employment agreement may be terminated, and he is entitled to certain payments upon such termination, as follows:


 

·

if we should terminate Mr. Mannine’s employment without “cause” or if he should resign for “good reason" or if a “change of control” occurs, we are obligated to pay him a lump-sum severance payment equal to the sum of three months’ base salary, plus one month for every year he was employed and 50% of three years annual bonus (based on the prior year’s compensation);

·

if Mr. Mannine’s employment is terminated as a result of his death or disability, he is entitled to receive his base salary and a pro rata annual bonus, if any, based on the year during which such termination is effective ; or

 

 

 

 

·

if we should terminate Mr. Mannine for “cause,” or if he voluntarily terminates the agreement, he is entitled to receive his base salary only through the date of termination, and he is not be entitled to any other compensation for the calendar year during which the termination occurs or any subsequent calendar period, including, but not limited to, any annual bonus, if any, that has not already been paid.


The employment agreement with Mr. Mannine contains customary confidentiality, non-compete and indemnification clauses.


Contingencies


In April 2016, we entered into a Promotion and Royalty Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a consultant to obtain certain promotional services from him (the “Promoter”), including the use of his name and appearance. In consideration for the services rendered by the Promoter, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to promote and sell a book authored by him (the “Book”) and to pay him a percentage of the sales of the Book after deductions for all direct costs of fulfilling such sales (the “Royalty”). During the course of 2017, the Promoter initiated a series of informal claims and filed unauthorized uniform commercial code financing statements (“UCC Liens”) in several states as liens against us and certain of our officers, directors and founders, alleging non-payment for the Royalty amounts due under the Agreement. We dispute the Promoter’s claims and have determined that any and all amounts due to the Promoter under the Agreement have been paid in full. We have succeeded in removing certain of the UCC Liens and are pursuing action to remove the remaining unauthorized UCC Liens. We do not believe that the claims of the Promoter are valid in any respect.


On March 8, 2018 we entered into an advisory agreement with a scientific advisor to provide certain services to us. Pursuant to the agreement, we issued 100,000 five year common stock warrants at an exercise price of $0.90.  Such warrants vest subject to certain milestones. As of June 30, 2018, none of these warrants have vested. We determined that the warrant had an initial fair value of $1,905. We estimated the fair value of this warrant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, based on the following assumptions: the recent cash offering price of $0.225 as the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date; no dividend yield for all of the years; expected volatility of 45%; risk-free interest rate of 2.63% and an expected life of 5 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we have recorded stock–based compensation expense of $353 and $0, respectively which is included in our Selling, general and administrative expense on the accompanying Condensed Statements of Operations.


6.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers and Suppliers


We purchase our inventory of herbal/natural supplements from one supplier. While we believe that we will be able to find a secondary supplier, there could be a manufacturing delay in the transition to a new supplier and such a supply interruption would materially impact our business for some period of time.


7.

Stockholders’ Equity


Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 there are 11,399,830 and 13,397,613 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively and there are no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding at either date.


Preferred Stock


Our board of directors, without further stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock in one or more series from time to time and fix or alter the designations, relative rights, priorities, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of each series. The rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and other matters. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock, which ranks senior to our common stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation. In addition, our board of directors can fix limitations and restrictions, if any, upon the payment of dividends on both classes of our common stock to be effective while any shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

Common Stock


Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share owned on all matters voted upon by stockholders. In the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our operations, the holders of the common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in our assets, if any, remaining after the payment of all our debts and liabilities and the liquidation preference of any shares of preferred stock that may then be outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive rights, no cumulative voting rights, and no redemption, sinking fund, or conversion provisions.


Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the board of directors, out of funds legally available for such purpose, subject to the dividend and liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may then be outstanding.


On January 22, 2018, Mr. Mannine returned 1,250,000 shares of common stock to us for no consideration and such shares were cancelled.


On January 22, 2018, Mr. Stetsenko returned 1,000,000 shares of common stock to us for no consideration and such shares were cancelled.


Private Placement

In connection with these additional issuances, CRG earned an additional 17,655 fully vested common stock warrants with an exercise price of $0.225. These additional warrants were issued to CRG on January 30, 2018.

Warrants


On October 10, 2017, we entered into the Financing Agreement with CRG, as more fully described in Note 4. In connection with the related equity financing as of December 31, 2017, CRG had earned 368,111 fully vested five year warrants with an exercise price of $0.225. The related warrants were issued in January 2018. We determined that the warrant had an initial fair value of $34,405 and was recorded as a direct offering cost in Stockholders’ equity (deficit) with a net effect of zero. We estimated the fair value of this warrant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, based on the following assumptions: the recent cash offering price of $0.225 as the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date; no dividend yield for all of the years; expected volatility of 45%; risk-free interest rate of 2.2% and an expected life of 5 years.

Stock Option Plan


In December 2017 our board of directors adopted our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, or the “2017 Plan.” Our stockholders ratified the 2017 Plan in December 2017. The purpose of the 2017 Plan is to encourage ownership in our company by our officers, directors, employees and consultants, and to incentivize and align the interests of the plan participants with the interests of our stockholders. We have reserved 1,100,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2017 Plan. Grants pursuant to the 2017 Plan may be: i) incentive stock options; ii) non-statutory stock options; iii) stock awards, including shares of our common stock and stock units; and iv) stock appreciation rights. The 2017 Plan provides that the maximum value of any award during any calendar year cannot exceed $1,000,000.


On June 14, 2018, pursuant to the employment agreement with Mr. Mannine, more fully described in Note 5, we issued 100,000 stock options with an exercise price of $0.225. Such options fully vest upon the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1. We determined that the options had an initial fair value of $13,221 We estimated the fair value of these options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, based on the following assumptions: the recent cash offering price of $0.225 as the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date; no dividend yield for all of the years; expected volatility of 45%; risk-free interest rate of 2.2% and an expected life of 10 years. We are amortizing the fair value over the period from their issuance on June 14, 2018 through December 31, 2018, or the date on which we expect to have the registration statement declared effective. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we have recorded stock option expense of $1,058 and $0, respectively which is included in our Selling, general and administrative expense on the accompanying Condensed Statements of Operations.


As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were 100,000 and no stock options outstanding, respectively. The outstanding stock options as of June 30, 2018 have an exercise price of $0.225. None of the outstanding stock options have vested as of June 30, 2018.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of:

Vynleads, Inc.


Opinion on the Financial Statements


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vynleads, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and has financed its working capital requirements primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 controls 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Business


Vynleads, Inc. (“Vynleads”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on July 15, 2015. We are a provider of health and wellness information principally targeted to people who are pre-diabetes or who have type 2 diabetes . We provide information to our customers who are seeking to make healthy choices by providing clear, generic blueprints, education, resources, and support. Our core product is our proprietary Lifestyle Blueprint, a digital guide that provides dietary recommendations for a very low calorie eight week diet together with information focusing on what, how and how much a person eats, nutritional information and how a person’s body does and does not use food to enable our customers to continue leading a more successful lifestyle. We also offer nutritional supplements and monthly subscriptions to our proprietary newsletter which covers a wide variety of healthy living-related topics.


Our corporate headquarters are located in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

Liquidity and Going Concern


Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since July 15, 2015, the date of our inception, we have experienced recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows, and have financed our recent working capital requirements primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities, as well as borrowings from related parties. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we have reported net income (losses) of ($434,137) and $5,940, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 our working capital was $481,524, our accumulated deficit was $513,159, and we had negative cash flows from operations of $680,916. As a result, management believes that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


Despite our current sales, expense, cash flow projections, and aggregate cash and cash receivable from our merchant, net of reserve for refunds, of $338,266, we will require substantial funds to expand service and product offerings into additional areas, market and promote our services and product offerings; and develop and grow our infrastructure and corporate organization. Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to our ability to generate sufficient revenues to pay our operating expenses.


Our ability to meet our current and projected obligations depends on our ability to generate sufficient sales and to control expenses and will require that we seek additional capital through private and/or public financing sources. There can be no assurances that we will achieve our forecasted financial results or that we will be able to raise additional capital to operate our business. Any such failure would have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and financial condition and could force us to curtail or discontinue operations entirely and could require us to file for protection under bankruptcy laws. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Accounting Principles


The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).


Use of Accounting Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We believe that judgement is involved in determining the valuation of our reserve for refunds, our holdback reserve, the fair value-based measurement of stock-based compensation, accruals and the estimated useful life of intangible assets. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to the Financial Statements.

VYNLEADS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 


Cash


Cash includes cash on hand, is deposited at one area bank and may exceed federally insured limits at times. We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.


Holdback Receivable


Holdback receivable includes a merchant holdback net of a reserve for returns, which reserve is $58,188 and $91,718 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


Intangible Assets


We evaluate the carrying value of our intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, including disposition, are less than the carrying value of the asset. To date, we have not recorded any impairment charges on our intangible assets.


In January 2016, we purchased an e-mail subscriber list and other related information for $50,000. We estimated the useful life of this asset to be three years from the date of acquisition and recorded amortization of $16,790 and $16,330 during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.


Revenue Recognition


We generate revenues primarily from (i) internet content subscriptions and (ii) sales of e-commerce products. Revenues are recognized upon the acceptance of subscription membership or electronic delivery of e-commerce products provided that an order has been received or a contract executed, there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is deemed reasonably assured. If uncertainties regarding customer acceptance exist, we recognize revenues when those uncertainties are resolved, and title has been transferred to the customer. Amounts collected or billed prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue.


Our revenue recognition policy follows the guidance from Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. We recognize revenues when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured; and (iv) the service has been performed or the product has been delivered. Collectability is assessed based on a number of factors, including the creditworthiness of a client, the size and nature of a client’s website and transaction history. Amounts billed or collected in excess of revenue recognized are included as deferred revenue. An example of this deferred revenue would be arrangements where clients request or are required by us to pay in advance of delivery.


In April 2016, the FASB issued “ASU 2016 - 10 Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606): identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. We are currently evaluating the impact that this updated guidance will have on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, an amendment to ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU addressed several areas related to contracts with customers. This topic is not yet effective and will become effective with Topic 606. We are currently evaluating the impact this topic will have on our financial statements.


Shipping and Handling Costs


We include shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenue and shipping and handling costs for shipments to customers as cost of revenue.


Advertising Costs


Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $1,366,064 and $1,205,005, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred or at the first time the advertising activity takes place.


Income (Loss) Per Share


Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus additional weighted-average common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, the proceeds of which are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding common stock using the treasury stock method. In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in income (loss) that would result from the assumed conversion of potential shares. Potentially dilutive shares, which were excluded from the diluted income (loss) per share calculations because the effect would be antidilutive or the options exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares, were 368,111 and 0 shares for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


Income Taxes


The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.


We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. We evaluate this tax position on a quarterly basis. We also accrue for potential interest and penalties, if applicable, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.


Stock-Based Compensation


Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The valuation of employee stock options is an inherently subjective process, since market values are generally not available for long-term, non-transferable employee stock options. Accordingly, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized to derive an estimated fair value. The Black-Scholes pricing model requires the consideration of the following six variables for purposes of estimating fair value:


 

·

the stock option exercise price;

 

·

the expected term of the option;

 

·

the grant date price of our common stock, which is issuable upon exercise of the option;




















F-24



VYNLEADS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 



 

·

the expected volatility of our common stock;

 

·

the expected dividends on our common stock (we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future); and

 

·

the risk free interest rate for the expected option term.


Expected Dividends. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on any of our capital stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we use an expected dividend yield of zero to calculate the grant-date fair value of a stock option.


Expected Volatility. The expected volatility is a measure of the amount by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of options granted. We determine the expected volatility solely based upon the historical volatility of our common stock over a period commensurate with the option’s expected term. We do not believe that the future volatility of our common stock over an option’s expected term is likely to differ significantly from the past.


Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the option’s expected term on the grant date.


Expected Term. For option grants subsequent to the adoption of the fair value recognition provisions of the accounting standards, the expected life of stock options granted is based on the actual vesting date and the end of the contractual term.


Stock Option Exercise Price and Grant Date Price of Common Stock. The closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant.


We are required to estimate the level of award forfeitures expected to occur and record compensation expense only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest. This requirement applies to all awards that are not yet vested. Due to the limited number of unvested options outstanding, the majority of which are held by executives and members of our Board of Directors, we have estimated a zero forfeiture rate. We will revisit this assumption periodically and as changes in the composition of the option pool dictate.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


We follow Accounting Standards Codification 820-10 (“ASC 820-10”), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” for fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on an exit price, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.


The hierarchy established under ASC 820-10 gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:


Level 1 - Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. As required by ASC 820-10, we do not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.


Level 2 - Pricing inputs are quoted prices for similar investments, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes investments valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to these investments.


Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment, that is, inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 includes investments that are supported by little or no market activity.

The carrying amounts of our cash, holdback receivable, subscriptions receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


We have evaluated all issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and determined that, other than the following, they are either immaterial or not relevant to us.


In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) “ASU 2016 - 02 Leases” intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The ASU affects all companies and other organizations that lease assets such as real estate, office equipment and manufacturing equipment. The ASU will require organizations that lease assets - referred to as “lessees” - to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases.


Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP - which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet - the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The accounting by organizations that own the assets leased by the lessee - also known as lessor accounting - will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. However, the ASU contains some targeted improvements that are intended to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and with the updated revenue recognition guidance issued in 2014. The ASU on leases will take effect for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other organizations, the ASU on leases will take effect for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. It is not anticipated that this updated guidance will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In January 2016, the FASB issued “ASU 2016 - 01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The ASU affects public and private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. The new guidance makes targeted improvements to existing GAAP by:


Requiring equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income;


Requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes;


Requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements;


Eliminating the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for organizations that are not public business entities;


Eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and




F-26



VYNLEADS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 


Requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments.


The ASU on recognition and measurement will take effect for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans, the standard becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The ASU permits early adoption of the own credit provision (referenced above). Additionally, it permits early adoption of the provision that exempts private companies and not-for-profit organizations from having to disclose fair value information about financial instruments measured at amortized cost. It is not anticipated that this guidance will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In April 2016, the FASB issued “ASU 2016-10 Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606): identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.” The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update2014-09 by one year. It is not anticipated that this updated guidance will have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, an amendment to ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU addressed several areas related to contracts with customers. This topic is not yet effective and will become effective with Topic 606. We are currently evaluating the impact this topic will have on our financial statements.

Related Party Transactions


On July 15, 2015, we entered into a secured promissory note (the “CRG Note”) with CRG Finance AG (“CRG”). Mr. Sergei Stetsenko is the CEO of CRG and one of our Directors. The original principal of the CRG Note was $200,000, matured on July 15, 2025 and bore interest at the rate of 2.75% per annum. Pursuant to a Security Agreement we pledged all of our assets as collateral pursuant to the terms of the CRG Note. The CRG Note allowed for prepayment without any prepayment penalties. From August 2015 through March 2016, we borrowed $195,000 on the CRG Note of which $50,000 was repaid during the year ended December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017 we repaid the balance of $145,000 in principal plus accrued interest of $5,872. Following such repayment, the security interest in our assets was released. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, our outstanding obligation with respect to the CRG Note was $0 and $145,000, respectively.


On July 15, 2015, we issued 10,000 shares of Class A common stock (the “Class A Shares”) to Mr. Alex Mannine, our Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company (5,000), Mr. Stanislav Bezusov, our Chief Operating Officer and also a former director of our Company (2,500) and Mr. Sergei Stetsenko, a director of our Company (2,500) and also issued 10,000 shares of Class B common stock (the “Class B Shares”) to Mr. Mannine (5,000), Mr. Bezusov (2,500) and Mr. Stetsenko (2,500). The shares were purchased for par value of $.0001 each for total consideration of $2.


In 2016 we advanced $60,300 to Mr. Mannine as an unsecured loan. At the end of 2016 he converted this advance to compensation.

On October 10, 2017, we entered into a non-exclusive Strategic Financing and Corporate Development Services Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with CRG. Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, CRG was retained to help us with certain financing and corporate development initiatives. The initial term of the Financing Agreement was for one year effective from May 1, 2017 and provided for a cash commission of 7% of the gross proceeds of an equity financing derived from non-U.S. investors introduced to us by CRG. In addition, the Financing Agreement provided for additional compensation in the form of five year common stock warrants equal to 7% of the total shares issued in such equity financing at an exercise price equal to the lowest price paid per share in such equity financing. During November and December 2017 we raised $1,183,211 in gross proceeds, issuing 5,258,724 shares of common stock and accrued $82,825 in cash commissions to CRG, of which $68,309 was paid as of December 31, 2017. The remaining $14,516 is recorded in accounts payable. In addition, as of December 31, 2017, CRG had earned 368,111 warrants. The related warrants were issued in January 2018.


In addition to the commission paid for Private Placement, we paid CRG $27,000 and $12,000, respectively during 2017 and 2016 in consulting fees.

Effective November 7, 2017, we filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which (i) authorized a mandatory conversion of each one share of Class A shares issued and outstanding into one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share; (ii) the redemption and cancellation of all issued and outstanding shares of the Class B shares; (iii) the increase in the number of shares of authorized capital stock to 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which may be subdivided into one or more classes or series at the determination of the Board of Directors; and (iv) effected a 1,000:1 forward stock split immediately upon the conversion of all shares of Class A shares into common Stock.


On November 20, 2017, we repurchased 2,000,000 shares of common stock from an investor for $0.10 each.


During 2017 and 2016, we worked with a consultant, Matthew Mannine (“Matthew”), who is the brother of our Chief Executive Officer. We agreed to allow advertisements that Matthew suggested, with the objective of selling products of other companies, utilizing our email list (managed and maintained by us). In return, Matthew would collect revenue from those customers and pay approximately 70% of those revenues to us. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we received $4,205 and $1,113, respectively from Matthew related to this relationship.


During 2017 and 2016 we paid Mr. Bezusov $63,300 and $102,950, respectively, in consulting fees pursuant to a verbal agreement with him. Such verbal agreement provides that we pay him a monthly fee of $8,300. We are not a party to an employment agreement with Mr. Bezusov and the compensation he is paid for his services is determined by the board of directors.

Income Taxes


The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The TCJA, among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, effective as of January 1, 2018; limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense; limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and elimination of net operating loss carrybacks, in each case, for losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 (though any such tax losses may be carried forward indefinitely).


The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the TCJA. In connection with the initial analysis of the impact of the TCJA, we re-measured our deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. The re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities was offset by a change in the valuation allowance.


We are still in the process of analyzing the impact to us of the TCJA. Where we have been able to make reasonable estimates of the effects related to which our analysis is not yet complete, we have recorded provisional amounts. The ultimate impact to our financial statements of the TCJA may differ from the provisional amounts due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions we may take as a result of the TCJA. The accounting is expected to be complete when our 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018.


For the year ended December 31, 2017 there was no provision for income taxes and for the year ended December 31, 2016 we recorded a provision for income taxes of $12,816. Deferred tax assets have been reduced to an amount deemed recoverable from the use of loss carrybacks.


As of December 31, 2017, we have net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $354,000. Our net operating loss carryforwards will be subject to annual limitations, as discussed above, which could reduce or defer the utilization of the losses as a result of an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.


Our tax expense differs from the "expected" tax expense for Federal income tax purposes, computed by applying the United States Federal tax rate of 34% to loss before taxes, as follows:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.


Because of our historical earnings history, the net deferred tax asset for 2017 has been reduced based on the amount deemed recoverable from the use of loss carrybacks. The change in the valuation allowance was an increase of $89,711 and a decrease of $24,068 for the years December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Note Payable to Related Party


On July 15, 2015, we entered into a secured promissory note (the “CRG Note”) with CRG Finance AG (“CRG”). Mr. Stetsenko is the CEO of CRG and one of our Directors. The original principal of the CRG Note was $200,000, matured on July 15, 2025 and bore interest at the rate of 2.75% per annum. Pursuant to a Security Agreement we pledged all of our assets as collateral pursuant to the terms of the CRG Note. The CRG Note allowed for prepayment without any prepayment penalties. From August 2015 through March 2016, we borrowed $195,000 on the CRG Note of which $50,000 was repaid during the year ended December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017 we repaid the balance of $145,000 in principal plus accrued interest of $5,872. Following such repayment, the security interest in our assets was released. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, our outstanding obligation with respect to the CRG Note was $0 and $145,000, respectively.


On July 31, 2017, we entered into an unsecured convertible note (the “Bezusov Note”) with Mr. Bezusov. The original principal of the Bezusov Note was $125,000, matured on January 31, 2019 and bore interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The Bezusov Note was convertible into common shares in the next equity financing conducted by us or on, or prior to the maturity date, at the sole discretion of Mr. Bezusov. The Bezusov Note allowed for prepayment without any prepayment penalties. We repaid the note in full on November 20, 2017 and Mr. Bezusov forgave the nominal interest accrued through that date. There was no outstanding obligation with respect to the Bezusov Note as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.


On July 31, 2017, we entered into an unsecured convertible note (the “Mannine Note”) with Mr. Mannine. The original principal of the Mannine Note was $125,000, matured on January 31, 2019 and bore interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The Mannine Note was convertible into common shares in the next equity financing conducted by us or on, or prior to the maturity date, at the sole discretion of Mr. Mannine. The Mannine Note allowed for prepayment without any prepayment penalties. Mr. Mannine converted the note into 138,889 shares of common stock on December 12, 2017 in accordance with the agreement as we reached the specified benchmark for equity financing. Mr. Mannine forgave the nominal interest accrued through that date. There was no outstanding obligation with respect to the Mannine Note as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Contingencies


In April 2016, we entered into a Promotion and Royalty Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a consultant to obtain certain promotional services from him (the “Promoter”), including the use of his name and appearance. In consideration for the services rendered by the Promoter, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to promote and sell a book authored by him (the “Book”) and to pay him a percentage of the sales of the Book after deductions for all direct costs of fulfilling such sales (the “Royalty”). During the course of 2017, the Promoter initiated a series of informal claims and filed unauthorized uniform commercial code financing statements (“UCC Liens”) in several states as liens against us and certain of our officers, directors and founders, alleging non-payment for the Royalty amounts due under the Agreement. We dispute the Promoter’s claims and have determined that any and all amounts due to the Promoter under the Agreement have been paid in full. We have succeeded in removing certain of the UCC Liens and are pursuing action to remove the remaining unauthorized UCC Liens. We do not believe that the claims of the Promoter are valid in any respect.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers and Suppliers


None of our revenues are concentrated with any single customer composing 10% or more of our total revenues.


We purchase our inventory of herbal/natural supplements from one supplier. While we believe that we will be able to find a secondary supplier, there could be a manufacturing delay in the transition to a new supplier and such a supply interruption would materially impact our business for some period of time.


9.

Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)


Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 there are 13,397,613 and no shares of common stock outstanding, respectively and there are no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding at either date.


Preferred Stock


Our board of directors, without further stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock in one or more series from time to time and fix or alter the designations, relative rights, priorities, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of each series. The rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and other matters. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock, which ranks senior to our common stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation. In addition, our board of directors can fix limitations and restrictions, if any, upon the payment of dividends on both classes of our common stock to be effective while any shares of preferred stock are outstanding.


Common Stock


Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share owned on all matters voted upon by stockholders. In the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our operations, the holders of the common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in our assets, if any, remaining after the payment of all our debts and liabilities and the liquidation preference of any shares of preferred stock that may then be outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive rights, no cumulative voting rights, and no redemption, sinking fund, or conversion provisions.


Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the board of directors, out of funds legally available for such purpose, subject to the dividend and liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may then be outstanding.


On July 15, 2015, we issued a total of 10,000 Class A shares to Mr. Mannine, (5,000), Mr. Bezusov (2,500) and Mr. Stetsenko (2,500) and also issued a total of 10,000 Class B shares to Mr. Mannine (5,000), Mr. Bezusov (2,500) and Mr. Sergei Stetsenko (2,500). The shares were purchased for par value of $.0001 each for total consideration of $2.

On July 31, 2017, we entered into an unsecured convertible note (the “Mannine Note”) with Mr. Mannine. The original principal of the Mannine Note was $125,000, matures on January 31, 2019 and bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The Mannine Note is convertible into common shares in the next equity financing conducted by us or on, or prior to the maturity date, at the sole discretion of Mr. Mannine. The Mannine Note allows for prepayment without any prepayment penalties. Mr. Mannine converted the note into 138,889 shares of common stock on December 12, 2017 and forgave the nominal interest accrued through that date. There was no outstanding obligation with respect to the Mannine Note as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.


On November 20, 2017, we repurchased 2,000,000 shares of common stock from an investor for $0.10 each.


Effective November 7, 2017, we filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which (i) authorized a mandatory conversion of each one share of Class A shares issued and outstanding into one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share; (ii) the redemption and cancellation of all issued and outstanding shares of the Class B shares; (iii) the increase in the number of shares of authorized capital stock to 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which may be subdivided into one or more classes or series at the determination of the Board of Directors; and (iv) effected a 1,000:1 forward stock split immediately upon the conversion of all shares of Class A shares into common Stock.


Private Placement


During November 2017 through December 2017, we completed the private placement of 5,258,724 shares of our $0.0001 par value common stock to accredited investors, who are also non-US persons, at a price of $0.225 per share resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $1,183,211. The offerings were conducted pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. We incurred commissions and other expenses related to this placement of $86,825 for net proceeds of $1,096,386. Cash of $99,090 was held in escrow as of December 31, 2017 and has been recorded as a subscription receivable on the accompanying balance sheet. We also issued 368,111 five year warrants in connection with this placement with an exercise price of $0.225 as compensation to a related party under the terms of the Financing Agreement.


Warrants


On October 10, 2017, we entered into the Financing Agreement with CRG, as more fully described in Note 4. In connection with the related equity financing as of December 31, 2017, CRG had earned 368,111 fully vested five year warrants with an exercise price of $0.225. The related warrants were issued in January 2018. We determined that the warrant had an initial fair value of $34,405 and was recorded as a direct offering cost in Stockholders’ equity (deficit) with a net effect of zero. The Company estimated the fair value of this warrant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, based on the following assumptions: the recent cash offering price of $0.225 as the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date; no dividend yield for all of the years; expected volatility of 45%; risk-free interest rate of 2.2% and an expected life of 5 years.


As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 there were 368,111 and no warrants earned and outstanding, all with an exercise price of $0.225, respectively. Of those warrants, 368,111 and no warrants were fully vested, respectively.

Stock Option Plan


In December 2017 our board of directors adopted our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, or the “2017 Plan.” Our stockholders ratified the 2017 Plan in December 2017. The purpose of the 2017 Plan is to encourage ownership in our company by our officers, directors, employees and consultants, and to incentivize and align the interests of the plan participants with the interests of our stockholders. We have reserved 1,100,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2017 Plan. Grants pursuant to the 2017 Plan may be: i) incentive stock options; ii) non-statutory stock options; iii) stock awards, including shares of our common stock and stock units; and iv) stock appreciation rights.


The board of directors or a committee of the board of directors administers the 2017 Plan. Presently, the 2017 Plan is administered by our board of directors. The term of each plan option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors, provided that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant. The terms of grants of any other type of award under the plan are determined by the board of directors or committee of the board of directors at the time of grant. The 2017 Plan provides that the maximum value of any award during any calendar year cannot exceed $1,000,000.


Any option granted under the plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, but the exercise price of any ISO granted under the 2017 Plan to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock must not be less than 110% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The 2017 Plan further provides that with respect to ISOs the aggregate fair market value of the common stock underlying the options which are exercisable by any plan participant during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. Option awards may provide for the exercise by means of cash, consideration received by us under a broker-assisted sale and remittance program, cashless exercise, any other consideration legally permitted, or a combination of the foregoing. The 2017 Plan administrator may also determine the method of payment of the exercise price at the time the option is being exercised. Grants under the 2017 Plan are not transferrable.


Generally, options which are exercisable at the date of the plan participant’s termination from our employment or severance of the relationship with our company must be exercised within three months of the termination date; the plan administrator may extend the exercise period of the option for a separated plan participant providing that the extended date does not go beyond the original expiration date of the option. Similarly, generally options which are exercisable at the date of the plan participant’s disability or death must be exercised within six months of the termination date in the event of the disability of the plan participant or 12 months following the plan participant’s death. In our discretion, any outstanding options held by a plan participant terminated for cause may be immediately cancelled.


In the event there is a “change in control” of our company as defined in the 2017 Plan, as determined by the board of directors or the committee, we may in our discretion: i) provide for the assumption or substitution of, or adjustment (including to the number and type of shares and exercise or purchase price applicable) to, each outstanding award; ii) accelerate the vesting of options and terminate any restrictions on stock awards; and/or iii) provide for termination of awards as a result of the change in control on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, including providing for the cancellation of awards for a cash or other payment to the participant.


The number of shares of our common stock underlying any outstanding but unexercised option and the exercise price of that option will be proportionally adjusted in the event of stock split, stock combinations, dividends and similar corporate events.


As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no stock options outstanding.

Subsequent Events


During January of 2018, as part of the private placement more fully described in Note 9, we sold an additional 252,217 shares or our common stock at a price of $0.225 per share, resulting in a gross proceeds of $56,749. In connection with these additional issuances, a related party earned commissions of $1,175 and an additional 17,655 fully vested common stock warrants with an exercise price of $0.225. These additional warrants were issued to CRG on January 30, 2018.


On January 9, 2018, we collected $99,090 of subscriptions receivable at December 31, 2017.


On March 8, 2018 we entered into an advisory agreement with a scientific advisor to provide certain services to us. Pursuant to the agreement, we issued 100,000 five year common stock warrants at an exercise price of $0.90. Such warrants vest subject to certain milestones. We also paid an initial retainer of $5,000 and pay a monthly fee of $2,000.


On May 21, 2018 we entered into an Amended and Restated Strategic Financing & Corporate Development Agreement with CRG which was amended and restated an earlier agreement entered into in October 2017. We have engaged this company to serve as our non-exclusive strategic financing and corporate development services provider and to render certain advice and services to us as we may reasonably request concerning equity or debt financings, strategic planning, merger and acquisition possibilities and business development activities. The scope of services under this agreement also includes introducing us to one or more non-U.S. persons, as that term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act, in connection with possible debt or equity financings or potential lenders. The initial term of the agreement expires in May 2019, subject to automatic one year renewals unless notice of non-renewal is provided by either party at least 30 days prior to the renewal term commencement.


As compensation under the terms of this agreement, we agreed to pay CRG Finance AG certain fees for transactions which are consummated during the term of the agreement and for a one year period following the termination of the agreement, including:


 

·

a fee equal to 7% of the proceeds received by us plus a warrant exercisable into 7% of the shares of our common stock at the offering price of our shares for sales by us of equity or equity-linked securities to non-U.S. Persons introduced to us by CRG Finance AG;

 

 

 

 

·

a fee equal to 1% of the total gross cash proceeds or non-cash consideration received by us, together with a five year warrant exercisable into 1% of the securities issued or to be issued by us in a business combination with a non-U.S. person first introduced to us by CRG Finance AG;

 

 

 

 

·

a fee equal to 1% of consideration received by us in any debt financing not convertible into equity, including, but not limited to, a revolving credit line or credit enhancement instrument, including on an insured or guarantee basis, with a non-U.S. Person first introduced to us by CRG Finance AG; and

 

 

 

 

·

a fee equal to 2% of any revenue-producing contract, fee-sharing arrangement, licensing, royalty or similar agreement with a non-U.S. Person first introduced to us by CRG Finance AG.


In addition to the foregoing fees, we have agreed to reimburse CRG Finance AG for its pre-approved out of pocket expenses it incurs under the terms of the agreement. The agreement contains customary confidentiality and indemnification provisions.

ITEM 14.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.


Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation, if such directors, officers, employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a provision which eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of the fiduciary duty of care or any other duty as a director.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is therefore unenforceable.


ITEM 15.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.


Following are all issuances of securities by the registrant during the past three years which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In each of these issuances the recipient represented that he was acquiring the shares for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards distribution or resale except in compliance with applicable securities laws and had access to information concerning our company. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with any transaction, and the certificate evidencing the securities that were issued contained a legend restricting their transferability absent registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an applicable exemption therefrom. Unless specifically set forth below, no underwriter participated in the transaction and no commissions were paid in connection with the transactions.


In July 2015 we issued 10,000 shares of our Class A common stock and 10,000 shares of our Class B common stock to our three founders for aggregate cash consideration of $2.00. The recipients were accredited investors and the issuances were exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the act.



II-1



 



In December 2017 in accordance with our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, (i) all shares of our Class A common stock were converted into common stock with a contemporaneous 1,000:1 forward stock split, and (ii) all shares of our Class B common stock were contributed to our capital.


In February 2018 we issued 138,889 shares of our common stock to Mr. Mannine upon conversion of an outstanding promissory note in the principal amount of $125,000 together with accrued but unpaid interest due him by our company. The recipient was an accredited investor and the issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of that act.


Between November 2017 and January 2018 we issued and sold an aggregate of 5,510,941 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.225 per share to 50 purchasers in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on an exemption provided by Regulation S. We received gross proceeds of $1,239,960. Under the terms of our agreement with CRG Finance AG, a Swiss company which is a related party, we paid CRG Finance AG cash commissions of $84,000 and issued it a five year warrant to purchase 385,766 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.225 per share, as compensation for the introduction of investors to us in this offering. After deducting our other expenses of this offering, including posting, escrow account fees and legal fees, we used $275,872 of the net proceeds for the repayment of related party debt and $200,000 for the repurchase of certain of our outstanding shares, and are using the balance of net proceeds from this offering for working capital.

ITEM 17.

UNDERTAKINGS.


a.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


 

1.

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:


 

i.

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;


 

ii.

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.


 

iii.

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;




II-2



 



 

2.

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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.


 

3.

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.


 

4.

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:


 

ii.

If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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, the registrant 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

BYLAWS

OF

VYNLEADS, INC.

ARTICLE I. OFFICES

SECTION 1.  Registered Office.  The registered office of the Corporation within the State of Delaware shall be in the City of Dover, County of Kent, c/o United Corporate Service.


SECTION 2.  Other Offices.  The Corporation may also have an office or offices other than said registered office at such place or places, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE II. MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

SECTION 1.

Place of Meetings .  All meetings of the stockholders for the election of directors or for any other purpose shall be held at any such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of meeting or in a duly executed waiver thereof.


SECTION 2.

Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such date and time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of meeting or in a duly executed waiver thereof.  At such annual meeting, the stockholders shall elect, by a plurality vote, a Board of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.


SECTION 3.

Special Meetings.  Special meetings of stockholders, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or the Chairperson of the Board or by one or more stockholders of the Corporation representing, in the aggregate, 25% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock.  Such request shall state the purpose of the proposed meeting.


SECTION 4.

Notice of Meetings.  Except as otherwise expressly required by statute, written notice of each annual and special meeting of stockholders stating the date, place and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting.  Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.  Notice shall be given personally by email or fax as provided in Section 1 of Article VII of these Bylaws or by mail and, if by mail, shall be sent in a postage prepaid envelope, addressed to the stockholder at such address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.  Notice by mail shall be deemed




 


given at the time when the same shall have been received by the stockholder.  Notice of any meeting shall not be required to be given to any person who attends such meeting, except when such person attends the meeting in person or by proxy for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or who, either before or after the meeting, shall submit a signed written waiver of notice, in person or by proxy.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, an annual or special meeting of stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.


An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or of the transfer agent or any other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by mail or by a form of electronic transmission, as applicable, shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.


SECTION 5.  List of Stockholders.   The officer who is in charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.  The Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network (provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting), or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. The list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.


SECTION 6.  Quorum, Adjournments.  The holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of stockholders, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation.  If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented by proxy at any meeting of stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented by proxy.  At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented by proxy, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.  If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or, if after adjournment a new record date is set, a

Each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him by a proxy signed by such stockholder or his attorney-in-fact, but no proxy shall be voted after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.  Any such proxy shall be delivered to the secretary of the meeting at or prior to the time designated in the order of business for so delivering such proxies.  When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock of the Corporation then outstanding shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of statute or of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.  Unless required by statute, or determined by the chairperson of the meeting to be advisable, the vote on any question need not be by ballot.  On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there by such proxy, and shall state the number of shares voted.

(c)

participate in a meeting of stockholders; and

(b) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (i) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (ii) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.

ARTICLE III. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 1.  General Powers.  The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors may exercise all such authority and powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or the Certificate of Incorporation directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.


SECTION 2.  Number, Qualifications, Election and Term of Office.  The number of directors constituting the initial Board of Directors shall be no less than one.  Thereafter, the number of directors may be fixed, from time to time, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the entire Board of Directors or by action of the stockholders of the Corporation.  Any decrease in the number of directors shall be effective at the time of the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders unless there shall be vacancies in the Board of Directors, in which case such decrease may become effective at any time prior to the next succeeding annual meeting to the extent of the number of such vacancies.  Directors need not be stockholders.  Except as otherwise provided by statute or these Bylaws, the directors (other than members of the initial Board of Directors) shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders.  Each director shall hold office until his successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until his death, or until he shall have resigned, or have been removed, as hereinafter provided in these Bylaws.


SECTION 3.  Place of Meetings.  Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such place or places, within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or as shall be specified in the notice of any such meeting.


SECTION 4.  Annual Meeting.  The Board of Directors shall meet for the purpose of organization, the election of officers and the transaction of other business, as soon as practicable after each annual meeting of stockholders, on the same day and at the same place where such annual meeting shall be held.  Notice of such meeting need not be given.  In the event such annual meeting is not so held, the annual meeting of the Board of Directors may be held at such other time or place (within or without the State of Delaware) as shall be specified in a notice thereof given as hereinafter provided in Section 7 of this Article III.


SECTION 5.  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such time and place as the Board of Directors may fix.  If any day fixed for a regular meeting shall be a legal holiday at the place where the meeting is to be held, then the meeting which would otherwise be held on that day shall be held at the same hour on the next succeeding business day.  Notice of regular meetings of the Board of Directors need not be given except as otherwise required by statute or these Bylaws.


SECTION 6.  Special Meetings .  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairperson of the Board or by any director of the Corporation.  If the notice is (x) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone, (y) sent by electronic mail, it shall be delivered or sent at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If




 


the notice is sent by United States mail, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four days before the time of the holding of the meeting.


SECTION 7.  Notice of Meetings.  Notice of each special meeting of the Board of Directors (and of each regular and annual meeting of the Board of Directors for which notice shall be required) shall be given by the Secretary or the director(s) calling the meeting.  Such notice shall be stated the time and place of the meeting.  Except as otherwise required by these Bylaws, such notice need not state the purposes of such meeting.  Notice of each such meeting may be directed to each director at that director’s address, telephone number, or electronic mail address, as the case may be, as shown on the Corporation’s records.  Such notice shall be given at least one (1) day before the day on which such meeting is to be held, or shall be sent addressed to him at such place by email, fax, or other electronic communication, or be delivered personally or by telephone, at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time at which such meeting is to be held.  Notice of any such meeting need not be given to any director who shall, either before or after the meeting, submit a signed waiver of notice or who shall attend such meeting, except when he shall attend for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.


SECTION 8.  Waiver of Notice.  Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the director entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.


SECTION 9.  Quorum and Manner of Acting.  A majority of the members of the entire Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors, except that when the entire Board consists of two directors or less, all directors in office shall constitute a quorum and except that when a vacancy or vacancies prevents such a majority, a majority of the directors in office shall constitute a quorum, provided, that such majority shall constitute at least one-third of the entire Board. Except as otherwise expressly required by statute or the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the act of a majority of the members of the entire Board of Directors shall be the act of the Board of Directors.  In the absence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors, a majority of the directors present thereat may adjourn such meeting to another time and place.  Notice of the time and place of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to all of the directors unless such time and place were announced at the meeting at which the adjournment was taken, in which case such notice shall only be given to the directors who were not present thereat.  At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.  The directors shall act only as a Board and the individual directors shall have no power as such.

SECTION 11.  Resignations.  Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to this Corporation.  Any such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or, if the time when it shall become effective shall not be specified therein, immediately upon its receipt.  Unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.


SECTION 12.  Vacancies.  Any vacancy in the Board of Directors, whether arising from death, resignation, removal (with or without cause), an increase in the number of directors or any other cause, may be filled by only by the vote of a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director or by the stockholders at the next annual meeting thereof or at a special meeting thereof.  Each director so elected shall hold office until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.


SECTION 13.  Removal of Directors.  Any director may be removed, either with or without cause, at any time, by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors.

SECTION 15.  Committees.  The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the members of the entire Board of Directors, designate one or more committees, including an executive committee, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation.  The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.  In addition, in the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may by majority vote appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.


Except to the extent restricted by statute or the Certificate of Incorporation, each such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution creating it, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which require it.  Each such committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors and have such name as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.  Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors.




 


SECTION 16.  Action by Consent.  Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.


SECTION 17.  Telephonic Meeting. Video Conferencing.  Unless restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any one or more members of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of a conference call, video conferencing or similar means of communication where all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.  Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting.

SECTION 1.  Stock Certificates.  The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some, or all, of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares.  Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation.  Notwithstanding the adoption of such resolution by the Board of Directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon request every holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President or a Vice-President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, certifying number of shares registered in certificate form.  If the Corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restriction of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.  Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice describing the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.  


SECTION 2.  Lost Certificates.  The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.  When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.


SECTION 3.  Transfers of Stock .  


(a)

Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its records; provided, however, that the Corporation shall be entitled to recognize and enforce any lawful restriction on transfer.  If the shares transferred are uncertificated, the Corporation




 


shall record the transaction upon its records when presented with the instructions signed by the transferor or its agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall be entitled to recognize and enforce any lawful restriction on transfer.  Whenever any transfer of stock shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, it shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer if, when the certificates are presented to the Corporation for transfer or uncertificated shares are requested to be transferred, both the transferor and the transferee request the Corporation to do so.

(b)

The Corporation shall not register the transfer of any securities issued in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Regulation S promulgated thereunder, unless the Corporation has received such assurances as it may reasonably request that the transfer of such securities was made in accordance with such exemptions, or with the provisions of Regulation S, as the case may be.

SECTION 4.  Stock Transfer Agreements.  The Corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.


SECTION 5.  Transfer Agents and Registrars.  The Board of Directors may appoint, or authorize any officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars.


SECTION 6.  Regulations.  The Board of Directors may make such additional rules and regulations, not inconsistent with these Bylaws, as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of stock of the Corporation.


SECTION 7.  Fixing the Record Date.  In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.  A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.


SECTION 8.  Registered Stockholders.  The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its records as the owner of shares of stock to receive dividends and to vote as such owner, shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its records as the owner of shares of stock, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares of stock on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


This Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this “ Warrant ”) is issued and delivered pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Advisory Agreement , dated as of even date herewith (the “ Advisory Agreement ”) by and between VYNLEADS, INC. , a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”) and the party set forth on the signature page hereto (the “ Holder ”).  

This certifies that as of the date written above (the “ Warrant Issue Date ”), for value received, the Holder, is entitled, to purchase from the Company such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Company common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Advisory Agreement and the vesting requirements therein (the “Shares” ).  The vested Shares issuable under this Warrant shall be subject to purchase upon surrender by delivery of this Warrant to the principal office of the Company referred to below, with the Notice of Exercise attached hereto duly executed, and simultaneous payment thereof in lawful money of the United States or otherwise as hereinafter provided, at the Exercise Price as set forth in Section 2 below.  The number, character and Exercise Price of such Shares are subject to adjustment as provided below.  The term “Warrant” as used herein, shall include this Warrant and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefore as provided herein.  All capitalized terms not defined herein have the meaning specified in the Advisory Agreement which is incorporated herein by reference thereto.  

1.   Exercise Period .  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, this Warrant shall be exercisable in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the Warrant Issue Date and ending at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the fifth (5 th ) anniversary of the Warrant Issue Date; provided , however , that in the event of (a) the closing of the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock in an initial underwritten public offering (the “IPO” ) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act” ), (b) the closing of the Company’s sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or (c) the closing of the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of merger, consolidation or other transaction or series of related transactions, resulting in the exchange or purchase of the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock such that the stockholders of the Company prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, less than 90% of the voting power of the surviving entity, this Warrant shall, immediately following the effective closing time on the closing date of such event, no longer be exercisable and become null and void.  In the event of a proposed transaction of the kind described in (a) through (c) of this Section 1, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Holder not less than forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the consummation of any such event or transaction or such other period of time as deemed reasonable by



Page 1 of 8



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                                                   STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


the Chief Executive Officer of the Company in respect of the facts and circumstances pertaining to any such event.

2.   Exercise Price and Number of Shares .

(A)  The Exercise Price at which this Warrant may be exercised shall be the warrant exercise price as such term is set forth in the Advisory Agreement.

 (B)  In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, the number of Shares issuable upon subsequent exercise of this Warrant shall thereafter be decreased by the number of Shares purchased to reflect such partial exercise.

3.   Exercise of Warrant .

(A)   Manner of Exercise .  The purchase rights for Shares represented by this Warrant are exercisable only to the extent vested, as determined by reference to the Advisory Agreement, by the Holder in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, during the term hereof as described in Section 1 above, by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise attached hereto duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, at the office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), together with payment of an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Shares then being purchased, at the Holder’s option in cash, by bank cashier’s check or certified check (or other check acceptable to the Company) or by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Company for that purpose by written notice to the Holder.

(B)   Effective Time of Exercise .  This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above, and the Holder entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date.  As promptly as practicable on or after such date and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates in the name of the Holder or as the Holder may direct (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) for the number of shares issuable upon such exercise.  In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver a new warrant of like tenor exercisable for the number of shares then remaining for which this Warrant may then be exercised.

(C)   Net Issue Exercise (Cashless Exercise) .

(i) In lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided above in Section 3(A), the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election on the Notice of Exercise form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or the Holder’s duly authorized attorney, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)

A

Where:

X =

The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder



Page 2 of 8



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                                                   STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT



Y =

The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being cancelled (at the date of such calculation)


A =

The fair market value of one share of such Shares (at the date of such calculation)


B =

The Exercise Price (at the date of such calculation)


(ii) For purposes of this Section 3(C), the fair market value of one share of the Shares on the date of calculation shall mean the highest price per share which the Company could obtain on the date of calculation from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for the Shares sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and agreed to by the Holder.

4.  No Fractional Shares or Scrip .  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  In lieu of any fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.

5.   Replacement of Warrant .  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity bond or other security in an amount reasonably satisfactory as sufficient security, or in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

6.   Rights of Stockholders .

(A)   Limitations on Rights of Warrant .  Subject to Section 10 below, the Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Shares or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein.

(B)   Notices of Certain Transactions .  In case:

(a)

of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or


(b)

of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, or


(c)

of the initial public offering of the Company,




Page 3 of 8



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                                                   STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such right, and stating the amount and character of such right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, redemption or conversion is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Shares (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, redemption or conversion) are to be determined.  Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

7.  Transfer of Warrant .

(A)   Restrictions on Transfer .  This Warrant may be transferred, in whole or part, only upon written consent of the Company as determined at its sole discretion.  Each such transferee must deliver to the Company representations, in form acceptable to the Company, that such transferee is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and is taking this Warrant for his, her or its own account, for investment and not with a view towards distribution or resale.  Any such transfer shall be subject to, and made only in compliance with, any all applicable federal and state securities laws.

(B)   Exchange of Warrant Upon Transfer .  On the surrender of this Warrant in connection with a transfer pursuant to the terms of Section 7(A), the Company, at its expense, shall issue to the successor a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the assignees, successors or heirs, who shall thereupon become the Holder(s) thereof, and shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions thereof.

(C)   Compliance With Securities Laws .

(1)  The Holder of this Warrant, or if the Holder is a custodian, the beneficial owner of this Warrant, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges that this Warrant and the Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof are being acquired solely for the Holder’s (or beneficial owner’s) own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of any federal or state securities laws.  Upon exercise of this Warrant (other than pursuant to the net exercise provision of Section 3(C)), the Holder shall as a condition to such exercise, if reasonably requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale.

(2)  All Shares issued upon exercise hereof may be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws), so long as such legend is required by applicable law:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”).  THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE



Page 4 of 8



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                                                   STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


COMPANY OF AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT.

If the legend is no longer required (as evidenced by a legal opinion for the Holder acceptable to the Company as determined at the Company’s sole discretion), the Company will promptly remove such legend.

8.   Reservation of Shares .  During the term of this Warrant, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of this Warrant and issuance of the Shares hereof.  If at any time during the term of this Warrant the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.  All shares that may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant upon issuance, will be fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issuance thereof.

9.   Amendments; Waivers .  This Warrant may not be amended, nor may any provision of this Warrant or any default, misrepresentation, or breach under this Warrant be waived or amended, except in a writing executed by all parties to this Warrant. A waiver of one breach or default does not waive any other breach or default.  Any waiver, permit, consent or approval is effective only to the extent specifically written.

10.   Reclassification .  If the Company at any time while this Warrant, or any portion thereof, remains outstanding and unexpired, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as a result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change and the Exercise Price therefore shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 10.

11.   No Impairment .  The Company will not avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith use its best efforts to carry out all of the provisions of this Warrant, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 10, and to take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

12.   Securities Act Representations and Warranties of Holder.  Holder is an “accredited Holder” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.  Holder’s address indicated on the signature page hereto sets forth, in the case of individuals, the state in which such Holder resides or, in the case of entities, the state of Holder’s principal place of business.  Holder is experienced in evaluating start-up companies such as the Company, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such Holder’s investment in the Company, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of the investment.  Holder is acquiring the Warrant, and upon exercise hereof would acquire the Shares, for investment for such Holder’s own account and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof.  Holder understands that neither the Warrant nor the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein.  Holder further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any third person with respect to any of the Shares.  Holder understands and acknowledges that the

issuance of Shares has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  Such Holder acknowledges that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.  Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“ Rule 144 ”)which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.  Holder covenants that, in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Shares in question, such Holder will sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Shares only in a manner consistent with such Holder’s representations and covenants set forth in this paragraph and Rule 144.  Holder understands that no public market now exists for any of the Shares issued by the Company, and that there can be no guarantee that a public market will ever exist for any of the Shares.  

13.   Miscellaneous .

13.

Restricted Securities .   The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares purchasable hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are, or will be, acquired from the Company in transactions not involving a public offering and accordingly may not, under such laws and applicable regulations, be resold or transferred without registration under the Securities Act, or an applicable exemption from such registration.  The Holder further acknowledges that a securities legend to the foregoing effect shall be placed on any Shares issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant.

The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined in such manner and on such date that the Administrator shall determine or, in the absence of provision otherwise, on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may provide;

xii.

to authorize conversion or substitution under the Plan of any or all stock options, stock appreciation rights or other stock awards held by service providers of an entity acquired by the Company (the “ Conversion Awards ”).

Award or as an alternative thereto, of the Participant to receive, without payment to the Company, a number of Shares, cash or a combination thereof, the amount of which is determined by reference to the value of the Award;

xvi.

to initiate an Option Exchange Program, including to reduce the exercise price of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such Award shall have declined since the date the Award was granted; and

xvii.

to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan and any Award granted hereunder.

(c)

Effect of Administrator's Decision.   All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Administrator regarding the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan and the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder, shall be final and binding on all Participants and on all other persons.

7.

Term of Award.

The term of each Award shall be determined by the Administrator and stated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Option, the term shall be ten (10) years from the Grant Date or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement; provided that an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who on the Grant Date owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary shall have a



Page 11 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


term of no more than five (5) years from the Grant Date; and provided further that the term may be ten and one-half (10.5) years (or a shorter period) in the case of Options granted to Employees in certain jurisdictions outside the United States as determined by the Administrator.

8.

The Administrator may grant an Option or provide for the grant of an Option, either from time to time in the discretion of the Administrator or automatically upon the occurrence of specified events, including, without limitation, the achievement of performance goals, the satisfaction of an event or condition within the control of the Awardee or within the control of others.

i.

In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date; provided however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who on the Grant Date owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date.

ii.

In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date.

(e)

Effect of Termination on Options

i.

Generally .  Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, upon an Awardee's Termination of Employment other than as a result of circumstances described in Sections 8(e)(ii), (iii) and (iv)  below, all outstanding Options granted to such Awardee that were vested and exercisable as of the date of the Awardee's Termination of Employment may be exercised by the Awardee until the earlier of (A) three (3) months following Awardee's Termination of Employment or (B) the expiration of the term of such Option; provided, however, that the Administrator may in the Option Agreement specify a period of time (but not beyond the expiration date of the Option) following Termination of Employment during which the Awardee may exercise the Option as to Shares that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Termination of Employment. To the extent such a period following Termination of Employment is specified, the Option shall automatically terminate at the end of such period to the extent the Awardee has not exercised it within such period.

ii.

Disability of Awardee.   Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, upon an Awardee's Termination of Employment as a result of the Awardee's disability, including Total and Permanent Disability, all outstanding Options granted to such Awardee that were vested and exercisable as of the date of the Awardee's Termination of Employment may be exercised by the Awardee until the earlier of (A) six (6) months following Awardee's Termination of Employment as a result of Awardee's disability, including Total and Permanent Disability or (B) the expiration of the term of such Option. If the Participant does not exercise such Option within the time specified, the Option (to the extent not exercised) shall automatically terminate.

iii.

Death of Awardee.  Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, upon an Awardee's Termination of Employment as a result of the Awardee's death, all outstanding Options granted to such Awardee that were vested and exercisable as of the date of the Awardee's death may be exercised until the earlier of (A) twelve (12) months following the Awardee's death or (B) the expiration of the term of such Option. If an Option is held by the Awardee when he or she dies, such Option may be exercised, to the extent the Option is vested and exercisable, by the beneficiary designated by the Awardee (as provided in Section 15 of the Plan), the executor or administrator of the Awardee's estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Awardee's will or the laws of descent or distribution; provided that the Company need not accept exercise of an Option by such beneficiary, executor or



Page 14 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


administrator unless the Company has satisfactory evidence of such person's authority to act as such. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified, such Option (to the extent not exercised) shall automatically terminate. The Awardee's service shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Awardee dies within three (3) months (or such longer period as determined by the Administrator, in its discretion) after the Awardee's Termination of Employment.

iv.

Termination for Cause.   The Administrator has the authority to cause all outstanding Awards held by an Awardee to terminate immediately in their entirety (including as to vested Options) upon first notification to the Awardee of the Awardee's Termination of Employment for Cause. If an Awardee's employment or consulting relationship with the Company is suspended pending an investigation of whether the Awardee shall be terminated for Cause, the Administrator has the authority to cause all the Awardee's rights under all outstanding Awards to be suspended during the investigation period in which event the Awardee shall have no right to exercise any outstanding Awards.

v.

Other Terminations of Employment.   The Administrator may provide in the applicable Option Agreement for different treatment of Options upon Termination of Employment of the Awardee than that specified above.

vi.

Extension of Exercise Period .  The Administrator shall have full power and authority to extend the period of time for which an Option is to remain exercisable following an Awardee's Termination of Employment from the periods set forth in Sections 8(e)(i),(ii) and (iii) above or in the Option Agreement to such greater time as the Board shall deem appropriate, provided that in no event shall such Option be exercisable later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.

vii.

Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than a termination for Cause, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 8(e) above or in the Option Agreement is prevented by Section 17 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until thirty (30) days after the date the Awardee is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option expiration date.

viii.

Extension if Subject to Exchange Act Section 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than a termination for Cause, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in



Page 15 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


Section 8(e) above or in the Option Agreement would subject the Awardee to a suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10 th ) day following the date on which a sale of shares by the Awardee would no longer be subject to suit, (ii) the one hundred ninetieth (190 th ) day after Awardee's Termination of Employment, or (iii) the Option expiration date.

(f)

Leave of Absence.   The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent the vesting of Options shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, vesting of Options shall be tolled during any leave that is not a leave required to be provided to the Awardee under Applicable Law. In the event of military leave, vesting shall toll during any unpaid portion of such leave, provided that, upon an Awardee's returning from military leave (under conditions that would entitle him or her to protection upon such return under the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act), he or she shall be given vesting credit with respect to Options to the same extent as would have applied had the Awardee continued to provide services to the Company throughout the leave on the same terms as he or she was providing services immediately prior to such leave.

9.

Incentive Stock Option Limitations/Terms.

(a)

Eligibility.  Only employees (as determined in accordance with Section 3401(c) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be granted Incentive Stock Options.

(b)

$100,000 Options Limitation.   Notwithstanding the designation “Incentive Stock Option” in an Option Agreement, in accordance with Section 422(d) of the Code, if and to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Awardee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries) exceeds U.S. $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 9(b) , Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.

(c)

Transferability.   An Incentive Stock Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner by the Awardee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of such Awardee, may only be exercised by the Awardee. If the terms of an Incentive Stock Option are amended to permit transferability, the Option will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The designation of a beneficiary by an Awardee will not constitute a transfer.



Page 16 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


(d)

Exercise Price.   The per Share exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by the Administrator in accordance with Section 8(b)(i) of the Plan.

Procedure for Exercise .

i.

Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the respective Option Agreement.

iii.

An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

(b)

Rights as a Stockholder . The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares as administratively practicable after the Option is exercised. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Unless provided otherwise by the Administrator or pursuant to this Plan, until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.

11.

Stock Awards.

(a)

Stock Award Agreement.  Each Stock Award Agreement shall contain provisions regarding (i) the number of Shares subject to such Stock Award or a formula for determining such number, (ii) the purchase price of the Shares, if any, and the means of payment for the Shares, (iii) the performance criteria (including Qualifying Performance Criteria), if any, and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the number of Shares granted, issued, retainable and/or vested, (iv) such terms and conditions on the grant, issuance, vesting, settlement and/or forfeiture of the Shares as may be



Page 17 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


determined from time to time by the Administrator, (v) restrictions on the transferability of the Stock Award and (vi) such further terms and conditions in each case not inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time by the Administrator.

(b)

Restrictions and Performance Criteria.   The grant, issuance, retention, settlement and/or vesting of each Stock Award or the Shares subject thereto may be subject to such performance criteria (including Qualifying Performance Criteria) and level of achievement versus these criteria as the Administrator shall determine, which criteria may be based on financial performance, personal performance evaluations and/or completion of service by the Awardee. Unless otherwise permitted in compliance with the requirements of Code Section 162(m) with respect to an Award intended to comply as “performance-based compensation” thereunder, the Committee shall establish the Qualifying Performance Criteria applicable to, and the formula for calculating the amount payable under, the Award no later than the earlier of (a) the date ninety (90) days after the commencement of the applicable performance period, or (b) the date on which 25% of the performance period has elapsed, and in any event at a time when the achievement of the applicable Qualifying Performance Criteria remains substantially uncertain.

(c)

Forfeiture.   Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, upon the Awardee's Termination of Employment, the Stock Award and the Shares subject thereto shall be forfeited, provided that to the extent that the Participant purchased or earned any Shares, the Company shall have a right to repurchase the unvested Shares at such price and on such terms and conditions as the Administrator determines.

(d)

Rights as a Stockholder.   Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, the Participant shall have the rights equivalent to those of a stockholder and shall be a stockholder only after Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) to the Participant.

Page 18 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at such times as the Board shall specify in the Stock Award Agreement.

ii.

Exercise of Stock Appreciation Right .  Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, in whole or in part, the Participant shall be entitled to a payment in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of a fixed number of Shares covered by the exercised portion of the Stock Appreciation Right, over the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date of the Shares covered by the exercised portion of the Stock Appreciation Right (or such other amount calculated with respect to Shares subject to the Award as the Board may determine). The amount due to the Participant upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be paid in such form of consideration as determined by the Board and may be in cash, Shares or a combination thereof, over the period or periods specified in the Stock Award Agreement. A Stock Award Agreement may place limits on the amount that may be paid over any specified period or periods upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, on an aggregate basis or as to any Participant. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be considered exercised when the Company receives written notice of exercise in accordance with the terms of the Stock Award Agreement from the person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right.

iii.

Nonassignability of Stock Appreciation Rights.   Except as determined by the Administrator, no Stock Appreciation Right shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

Subject to Section 9(c) , the Administrator may in its discretion make an Award transferable to an Awardee's family member or any other person or entity as it deems appropriate. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, either at the time of grant or thereafter, such Award shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate, and any transferee shall be deemed to be bound by such terms upon acceptance of such transfer.

(b)

Award to “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the number of Shares, Options or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Award on account of satisfaction of such Qualifying Performance Criteria may be reduced by the Committee on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Code Section 409A and unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions necessary for such Award to avoid the consequences described in Code Section 409A(a)(1), and to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law (and unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement), the Plan and the Award Agreements shall be interpreted in a manner that results in their conforming to the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) and any Department of Treasury or Internal Revenue Service regulations or other interpretive guidance issued under Section 409A (whenever issued, the “ Guidance ”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan (and unless the Award Agreement provides otherwise, with specific reference to this sentence), to the extent that a Participant holding an Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and the Guidance is a “specified employee” (also as defined thereunder), no distribution or payment of any amount shall be made before a date that is six (6) months following the date of such Participant's “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A and the Guidance) or, if earlier, the date of the Participant's death.

(g)

Deferral of Award Benefits .  The Administrator may in its discretion and upon such terms and conditions as it determines appropriate permit one or more Participants whom it selects to (a) defer compensation payable pursuant to the terms of an Award, or (b) defer compensation arising outside the terms of this Plan pursuant to a program that provides for deferred payment in satisfaction of such other compensation amounts through the issuance of one or more Awards. Any such deferral arrangement shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form as the Administrator shall from time to



Page 21 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


time establish, and no such deferral arrangement shall be a valid and binding obligation unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement, the form of which the Administrator has approved, including through the Administrator's establishing a written program (the “ Program ”) under this Plan to govern the form of Award Agreements participating in such Program. Any such Award Agreement or Program shall specify the treatment of dividends or dividend equivalent rights (if any) that apply to Awards governed thereby, and shall further provide that any elections governing payment of amounts pursuant to such Program shall be in writing, shall be delivered to the Company or its agent in a form and manner that complies with Code Section 409A and the Guidance, and shall specify the amount to be distributed in settlement of the deferral arrangement, as well as the time and form of such distribution in a manner that complies with Code Section 409A and the Guidance.

13.

Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, or Change In Control

(a)

Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Award, the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan, but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation, forfeiture or expiration of an Award, the price per Share subject to each such outstanding Award and each of the share limits set forth in Section 3(a) and 3(b) , shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, payment of a dividend or distribution in a form other than stock (excepting normal cash dividends) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award.

(b)

Dissolution or Liquidation.   In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously



Page 22 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


exercised or the Shares subject thereto issued to the Awardee and unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

(c)

Change in Control.   In the event there is a Change in Control of the Company, as determined by the Board or a Committee, the Board or Committee may, in its discretion, (i) provide for the assumption or substitution of, or adjustment (including to the number and type of Shares and exercise or purchase price applicable) to, each outstanding Award; (ii) accelerate the vesting of Options and terminate any restrictions on Stock Awards; and/or (iii) provide for termination of Awards as a result of the Change in Control on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, including providing for the cancellation of Awards for a cash or other payment to the Participant.

(d)

For purposes of this Section 13 , an Award shall be considered assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other consideration upon a Change in Control, as the case may be, each holder of an Award would be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Award the same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the holder had been, immediately prior to such transaction, the holder of the number of Shares covered by the Award at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by the Award as provided for in Section 13(a) ); provided that if such consideration received in the transaction is not solely common stock of the successor corporation, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the Award to be solely common stock of the successor corporation equal to the Fair Market Value of the per Share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction.

14.

Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a)

Amendment and Termination.  The Administrator may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan or any Award Agreement, but any such amendment shall be subject to approval of the stockholders of the Company in the manner and to the extent required by Applicable Law. To the extent required to comply with Code Section 162(m), the Company shall seek re-approval of the Plan from time to time by the stockholders. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, unless approved by the stockholders of the Company, no such amendment shall be made that would:

i.

materially increase the maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under the Plan, other than an increase pursuant to Section 13 of the Plan; or



Page 23 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


ii.

change the class of persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.

(b)

Termination Pursuant to Exchange Act Registration.  The Plan shall automatically terminate effective upon registration of the Company under the Exchange Act or the Company otherwise becoming a reporting issuer under the Exchange Act.  

(c)

Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Award, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company; provided further that the Administrator may amend an outstanding Award in order to conform it to the Administrator's intent (in its sole discretion) that such Award not be subject to Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B). Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

(d)

Effect of the Plan on Other Arrangements. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board or a Committee nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or any Committee to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it or they may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of restricted stock, stock options or cash bonuses otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The value of Awards granted pursuant to the Plan will not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries or other similar terms used when calculating an Awardee's benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Subsidiary except as such plan otherwise expressly provides.

15.

Designation of Beneficiary.

(a)

An Awardee may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive the Awardee's rights pursuant to Awardee's Award or the Awardee may include his or her Awards in an omnibus beneficiary designation for all benefits under the Plan. To the extent that Awardee has completed a designation of beneficiary while employed with the Company, such beneficiary designation shall remain in effect with respect to any Award hereunder until changed by the Awardee to the extent enforceable under Applicable Law.

(b)

Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Awardee at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of an Awardee and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Awardee's death, the Company shall



Page 24 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


allow the executor or administrator of the estate of the Awardee to exercise the Award, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may allow the spouse or one or more dependents or relatives of the Awardee to exercise the Award to the extent permissible under Applicable Law or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.

16.

No Right to Awards or to Employment.

No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award and the grant of any Award shall not be construed as giving an Awardee the right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or its Affiliates. Further, the Company and its Affiliates expressly reserve the right, at any time, to dismiss any Employee, Consultant or Awardee at any time without liability or any claim under the Plan, except as provided herein or in any Award Agreement entered into hereunder.

17.

Legal Compliance.

Subject to Section 21 , Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Award unless the exercise of such Option or Stock Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

18.

Reservation of Shares .

The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan, which may be reserves for original issuance, treasury stock, issued escrow shares, or any other reserve which the Board deems reasonable and advisable.

19.

Notice .

Any written notice to the Company required by any provisions of this Plan shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company and shall be effective when received.

20.

Governing Law; Interpretation of Plan and Awards.

(a)

This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the state of Delaware.

(b)

In the event that any provision of the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan is declared to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be reformed, if possible, to the extent necessary to render it legal, valid and enforceable, or otherwise deleted, and the remainder of the terms of the Plan and/or Award shall not be affected except to the extent



Page 25 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


necessary to reform or delete such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision.

(c)

The headings preceding the text of the Sections hereof are inserted solely for convenience of reference, and shall not constitute a part of the Plan, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect.

(d)

The terms of the Plan and any Award shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective permitted heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns.

(e)

All questions arising under the Plan or under any Award shall be decided by the Administrator in its total and absolute discretion. In the event the Participant believes that a decision by the Administrator with respect to such person was arbitrary or capricious, the Participant may request arbitration with respect to such decision. The review by the arbitrator shall be limited to determining whether the Administrator's decision was arbitrary or capricious. This arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive review permitted of the Administrator's decision, and the Awardee shall as a condition to the receipt of an Award be deemed to explicitly waive any right to judicial review.

(f)

In case any controversy or claim arises out of or in relation to this Agreement, the parties shall seek to resolve the matter amicably through discussions. If the parties fail to resolve such controversy, claim or breach within thirty (30) days by amicable arrangement and compromise, either party may seek arbitration as set forth below.  Any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be resolved by arbitration before a panel of three (3) arbitrators, administered by JAMS under its arbitration rules then in effect and held in in the City of New York in the Borough of Manhattan, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled.

21.

Limitation on Liability .

The Company and any Affiliate which is in existence or hereafter comes into existence shall not be liable to a Participant, an Employee, an Awardee or any other persons as to:

(a)

The Non-Issuance of Shares.  The non-issuance or sale of Shares (including, without limitation, under Section 17 above) as to which the Company has been unable, or the Arbitration deems it infeasible, to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority



Page 26 of 28



VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder; and

(b)

Tax Consequences.  Any tax consequence realized by any Participant, Employee, Awardee or other person due to the receipt, vesting, exercise or settlement of any Option or other Award granted hereunder or due to the transfer of any Shares issued hereunder. The Participant is responsible for, and by accepting an Award under the Plan agrees to bear, all taxes of any nature that are legally imposed upon the Participant in connection with an Award, and the Company does not assume, and will not be liable to any party for, any cost or liability arising in connection with such tax liability legally imposed on the Participant. In particular, Awards issued under the Plan may be characterized by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) as “deferred compensation” under the Code resulting in additional taxes, including in some cases interest and penalties. In the event the IRS determines that an Award constitutes deferred compensation under the Code or challenges any good faith characterization made by the Company or any other party of the tax treatment applicable to an Award, the Participant will be responsible for the additional taxes, and interest and penalties, if any, that are determined to apply if such challenge succeeds, and the Company will not reimburse the Participant for the amount of any additional taxes, penalties or interest that result.

(c)

Forfeiture . The requirement that Participant forfeit an Award, or the benefits received or to be received under an Award, pursuant to any Applicable Law.

22.

Indemnification.

In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or officers or employees of the Company or an Affiliate, members of the Board and any officers or employees of the Company or an Affiliate to whom authority to act for the Board or the Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in any such action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within sixty (60) days after the institution of such action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend the same.

VYNLEADS, INC.                                                                2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN


23.

Unfunded Plan.

Insofar as it provides for Awards, the Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Awardees who are granted Stock Awards under this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets which may at any time be represented by Awards, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company nor the Administrator be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be awarded under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any Participant with respect to an Award shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations which may be created by the Plan; no such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation which may be created by this Plan.

Payments under this Agreement shall be made without regard to whether the deductibility of such payments (or any other payments) would be limited or precluded by Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), and without regard to whether such payments would subject the Executive to the federal excise tax levied on certain "excess parachute payments" under Section 4999 of the Code; provided, however , that if the Total After-Tax Payments (as defined below) would be increased by the limitation or elimination of any amount payable under this Agreement, then the amount payable under this Agreement will be reduced to the extent necessary to maximize the Total After-Tax Payments.

5.

Withholding . Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments required to be made by the Company hereunder to the Executive or the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Company may reasonably determine it should withhold pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. In lieu of withholding such amounts, the Company may accept other arrangements pursuant to which it is satisfied that such tax and other payroll obligations will be satisfied in a manner complying with applicable law or regulation.


.

6.

Non-Disclosure of Information . The Executive acknowledges that the Company's trade secrets, private or secret processes, methods and ideas, as they exist from time to time, customer lists and information concerning the Company's sources, products, services, pricing, training methods, development, technical information, marketing activities and procedures, credit and financial data concerning the Company and/or the Company's Clients, and (the " Proprietary Information ") are valuable, special and unique assets of the Company, access to and knowledge of which are essential to the performance of the Executive hereunder. In light of the highly competitive nature of the industry in which the Company's business is conducted, the Executive agrees that all Proprietary Information, heretofore or in the future obtained by the Executive as a result of the Executive's association with the Company shall be considered confidential.


In recognition of this fact, the Executive agrees that the Executive, during the Restricted Period, will not use or disclose any of such Proprietary Information for the Executive's own purposes or for the benefit of any person or other entity or organization (except the Company) under any circumstances unless such Proprietary Information has been publicly disclosed generally or, unless upon written advice of legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Executive is legally required to disclose such Proprietary Information.

The Borrower further agrees to use its reasonable efforts to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection and enforcement of the Accounts and will not hinder, delay or impede the Lender in any manner in its collection and enforcement of the Accounts.  


5.

Preservation and Protection of Security Interest . The Borrower represents and warrants that it has, and covenants and agrees that at all times during the term of this Agreement, it will have, good and marketable title to the Collateral now owned by it free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, charges or other encumbrances, except for the Permitted Liens, and shall defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons, firms and entities whomsoever. Assuming Lender has taken all required action to perfect a security interest in the Collateral as provided by the Code, the Borrower represents and warrants that as of the date of this Agreement the Lender has, and that all times in the future the Lender will have, a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, prior and superior to the rights of all third parties in the Collateral existing on the date of this Agreement or arising after the date of this Agreement, subject to the Permitted Liens. Except as permitted by this Agreement, the Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lender (i) borrow against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral from any other person, firm or entity, except for borrowings which are subordinate to the rights of the Lender, (ii) grant or create or permit to attach or exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance, or security interest on, of or in any of the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral except those in favor of the Lender or the Permitted Liens, (iii) permit any levy or attachment to be made against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral, except those subject to the Permitted Liens, or (iv) permit any financing statements to be on file with respect to any of the Collateral, except financing statements in favor of the Lender or those with respect to the Permitted Liens. The Borrower shall faithfully preserve and protect the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and shall, at its own reasonable cost and expense, cause, or assist the Lender to cause that security interest to be perfected and continue perfected so long as the Note or any portion of the Note is outstanding, unpaid or executory. For purposes of the perfection of the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, the Borrower shall from time to time at the request of the Lender file or record, or



7



Vynleads, Inc.                                                                                    Security Agreement


cause to be filed or recorded, such instruments, documents and notices, including assignments, financing statements and continuation statements, as the Lender may reasonably deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and continue perfected such security interest. The Borrower shall do all such other acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other instruments and documents, including further security agreements, pledges, endorsements, assignments and notices, as the Lender in its discretion may reasonably deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and preserve the priority of such security interest as a first lien security interest in the Collateral prior to the rights of all third persons, firms and entities, subject to the Permitted Liens and except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed instead of the original.


6.

Insurance . Risk of loss of, damage to or destruction of the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures is on the Borrower. The Borrower shall insure the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures against such risks and casualties and in such amounts and with such insurance companies as is ordinarily carried by corporations or other entities engaged in the same or similar businesses and similarly situated or as otherwise reasonably required by the Lender in its sole discretion. In the event of loss of, damage to or destruction of the Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures during the term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such loss, damage or destruction. At the reasonable request of the Lender, the Borrower’s policies of insurance shall contain loss payable clauses in favor of the Borrower and the Lender as their respective interests may appear and shall contain provision for notification of the Lender thirty (30) days prior to the termination of such policy. At the request of the Lender, copies of all such policies, or certificates evidencing the same, shall be deposited with the Lender. If the Borrower fails to effect and keep in full force and effect such insurance or fail to pay the premiums when due, the Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) do so for the account of the Borrower and add the cost thereof to the Note. The Lender is irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact of the Borrower to endorse any draft or check which may be payable to the Borrower in order to collect the proceeds of such insurance. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender will turn over to the Borrower the proceeds of any such insurance collected by it on the condition that the Borrower apply such proceeds either (i) to the repair of damaged Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures, or (ii) to the replacement of destroyed Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures with Equipment, Inventory or Fixtures of the same or similar type and function and of at least equivalent value (in the sole judgment of the Lender), provided such replacement Equipment, Fixtures or Inventory is made subject to the security interest created by this Agreement and constitutes a first lien security interest in the Equipment, Inventory and Fixtures subject only to Permitted Liens and other security interests permitted under this Agreement, and is perfected by the filing of financing statements in the appropriate public offices and the taking of such other action as may be necessary or desirable in order to perfect and continue perfected such security interest.

No Fractional Shares .  The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Capital Stock of the Company upon any conversion.  If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Capital Stock of the Company, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Capital Stock down to the nearest whole share and shall pay to the Holder cash in an amount equal to that portion of the Note Value that would otherwise convert into a fractional share.  The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Capital Stock upon conversion of any Principal.

In connection therewith, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, and Licensee hereby accepts, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license to use the Trademark in the countries listed in Exhibit D solely in connection with the marketing and sale of the Products manufactured, processed, packaged, distributed or sold by Licensee, in order to indicate that the Products contain the Extract.

The license granted to Licensee hereunder may be terminated by Licensor at any time, for no reason, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Licensee.

(c) 

Each party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the other party if the other party commits a breach of any term of this Agreement which is incapable of remedy, or, in the case of a breach capable of being remedied, has failed within fifteen (15) days after receipt of notice from the other party, to remedy such breach to the reasonable satisfaction of the other party; provided, however, that Licensor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Licensee if Licensee, as determined by Licensor in its sole, absolute and unfettered discretion, willfully commits a breach of this Agreement, including, in particular but without limitation, Section 3(c) of this Agreement.


(d) 

Licensor shall have no obligation to compensate or indemnify Licensee, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in the event Licensor terminates this Agreement.


(e)

(b) 

Licensee shall submit to Licensor samples of the proposed labeling of any new product containing the Extract for Licensor’s review and approval of the use of the Trademark at least thirty (30) days before use begins. After review of such labeling, Licensor shall notify Licensee of its comments, change and/or approval of the proposed label, and Licensee shall promptly comply with Licensor’s request prior to marketing, distributing or selling the Products with the Trademark. The failure of Licensor to respond to such submission of samples by Licensee shall be deemed disapproval of the samples. Licensee agrees to submit to Licensor samples of any uses of the Trademark from time to time as Licensor may reasonably request for such additional review as Licensor may deem desirable.

(c) 

Licensee shall provide, upon request by Licensor, finished packaged products containing the Extract for testing by Licensor to assess Product integrity. The Products shall not contain any extracts of fraxinus excelsior seed except if such others extracts of fraxinus excelsior seed are supplied by the Licensor.

5.

Indemnification .


Licensor shall indemnify and defend Licensee against any and all claims, costs, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out of any claim by a third party against Licensee for infringement based on Licensee's use of the Trademark, so long as (a) such use is in compliance with Licensor’s trademark guidelines (Exhibit B) and the terms of this Agreement, and (b) Licensee is not otherwise in breach of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 14.1


Vynleads, Inc.

(the " Company ")

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

(Adopted by the Board of Directors on September 20, 2018)



Important Notice


This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the " Code ") provides information about the standards of integrity that the Company requires all employees, officers and members of the Board of Directors to follow.  It covers a wide range of business practices and procedures.  It does not cover every issue or set forth every rule, nor is it a substitute for the responsibility of each of us to exercise good judgment.  All of our officers, directors and employees must conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior.  If a law conflicts with a policy in this Code, you must comply with the law.  The Company may, in its sole discretion modify the terms of this Code at any time.  Any modifications will be effective immediately. The Code does not create any contractual rights of any kind between the Company and its employees or between the Company and any third parties.   


You should notify the Company immediately if you suspect, observe or learn of unethical business conduct or the commission of any dishonest, destructive or illegal act.  For information on how to contact the Company, please see Section 16 of the Code.  The Company will investigate all reports and provide feedback when appropriate.  There will be no reprisals against those who report suspected violations in good faith, and their identity will be protected to the extent consistent with law and Company policy.


If you have any questions about the Code or how it applies to you, you can discuss the matter with your supervisor or Alex J. Mannine, the Ethics and Compliance Officer.


Introduction


The Code identifies fundamental values at the Company.  It establishes a commitment to ethical and legal conduct and a respect for each person's contributions to the success of the team.  To ensure the future success of the Company, these values must always guide our actions.  


We are each responsible for following the Code .  Ultimately, your conduct is your own responsibility.  None of us should ever commit dishonest, destructive or illegal acts even if directed to do so by a supervisor or co-worker, nor should we direct others to act improperly.  


Those who do not comply with the guidelines in the Code and other Company policies may be disciplined, up to an including dismissal.  Additionally, violations of these standards could result in criminal penalties and/or civil liabilities.  If you are in a situation that you believe may violate or lead to a violation of this Code, follow the guidelines described in Section 16 of this Code.




 



The Code cannot cover everything – the Company relies on your good judgment.   There will be times when the Code will not address the specifics of your situation.  When this occurs, you might find it helpful to consider the following questions:


·

Other written policies and guidelines:   What written policies and instructions should be consulted?


·

People available to assist you:   Who should be consulted?  


·

Ethical impact:   What are the possible ethical choices and the rationale for each?


·

Alternatives that would not violate the Company's values:   Is there any room for compromise that would not violate the Company's standards of integrity?


·

Consider the possible outcomes:   Who could be hurt or helped by your decision?  To what extent could they be hurt?  How might they be helped?  Of the choices identified, which do the most to reduce harm?  Which do the most to provide help?  Which are most aligned with the Code?  Which do the most to respect the rights of those involved?


·

Make sure you are comfortable with your decisions:   Will my decision seem like the right one a year from now, five years from now, 10 years from now?  Would I be comfortable telling my supervisor, my co-workers, my organization's leadership team, the Board of Directors and the Company stockholders?  What about telling my family and friends about my decision?  Could I testify in a court of law and not expose myself or the Company to liability?  How would I feel if my decision were made public through newspapers or television?


1.

Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations .


Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation on which our ethical standards are built.  All employees must respect and obey the laws of the cities, states and countries in which we operate.  Although not all employees are expected to know the details of these laws, it is important to know enough about them to determine when to seek advice from supervisors, managers or other appropriate personnel.


To maintain the trust of our investors, our submissions to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other public disclosures must always accurately describe the matters covered in those disclosures.  Anything that could be construed as deceptive or misleading would be a serious disservice to our investors and could be illegal.  If you participate in the preparation of our Securities and Exchange Commission submissions, you must take all reasonable steps to ensure that those submissions provide complete, accurate, understandable and timely disclosure about our business and financial condition.  If you believe that any of our public disclosures do not meet those standards, you should contact your supervisor.

2.

Conflicts of Interest .


A “conflict of interest” exists when a person’s private interests interferes in any way with the interests of the Company.  A conflict situation can arise when an employee, officer or director takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her Company work objectively and efficiently.  Conflicts of interest may also arise when an employee, officer or director, or members of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company.  


Gifts are generally given to create goodwill and, in some parts of the world, declining a gift may insult the giver.  On the other hand, accepting a gift may create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest.  This presents a dilemma for the recipient of a gift.  If you receive such a gift, it is important to notify your supervisor in writing as soon as possible so he or she can determine whether you can retain the gift or if it should become Company property.  Never pay, offer or promise money, favors, inappropriate gifts or anything else of value to influence, direct, obtain or retain business or to secure any improper advantage.  Never allow an agent, representative or business partner to make those types of payments, offers or promises on the Company's behalf.  These payments or favors may be considered bribery, which violates Company policy as well as the laws of most countries where we conduct business.  


You should not compete with the Company and should never let business dealings on behalf of the Company be influenced, or even appear to be influenced, by personal or family interests.  It is almost always a conflict of interest for a Company employee to work simultaneously for a competitor, customer or supplier.  You are not allowed to work for a competitor as a consultant or board member.  The best policy is to avoid any direct or indirect business connection with our customers, suppliers or competitors, except on our behalf.  Conflicts of interest are prohibited as a matter of Company policy, except under guidelines approved by our Board of Directors.  Conflicts of interest may not always be clear-cut, so if you have a question, you should consult with higher levels of management.  Any employee, officer or director who becomes aware of a conflict or potential conflict should bring it to the attention of a supervisor, manager or other appropriate personnel or consult with the procedures described in Section 16 of this Code.


3.

Insider Trading .


Employees who have access to confidential information are not permitted to use or share that information for stock trading purposes or for any other purpose except the conduct of our business.  All non-public information about the Company should be considered confidential information.  To use non-public information for personal financial benefit or to “tip” others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information is not only unethical but also illegal.  Detailed information regarding the Company's insider trading policy, including the relevant black-out periods, is contained in the Company's Insider Trading Policy.  See Section 16.



3




 



4.

Corporate Opportunities .


Employees, officer and directors are prohibited from taking for themselves personally opportunities that are discovered through the use of corporate property, information or position without the consent of the Board of Directors.  No employee may use corporate property, information or position for improper personal gain, and no employee may compete with the Company, directly or indirectly.


5.

Competition and Fair Dealing .


We seek to outperform our competition fairly and honestly.  Stealing proprietary information, possessing trade secret information that was obtained without the owner’s consent, or inducing such disclosures by past or present employees of other companies is prohibited.  Each officer, director and employee should respect the rights of and deal fairly with the Company’s customers, suppliers, competitors and employees.  No employee should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other intentional unfair-dealing practice.


The purpose of business entertainment and gifts in a commercial setting is to create good will and sound working relationships, not to gain unfair advantage with customers.  No gift, or entertainment should ever be offered, given, provided or accepted by any Company officer, director or employee, and/or family member of an employee or agent, unless it (a) is not in cash, (b) is consistent with customary business practices, (c) is not excessive in value, (d) cannot be construed as a bribe or payoff and (e) does not violate any laws or regulations.   Please discuss with your supervisor any gifts or proposed gifts that you are not certain are appropriate.


6.

Discrimination and Harassment .


The diversity of the Company’s employees is a tremendous asset.  We are firmly committed to providing equal opportunity in all respects aspects of employment and will not tolerate illegal discrimination or harassment of any kind.  Examples include derogatory comments based on racial or ethnic characteristics and unwelcome sexual advances.


7.

Health and Safety .


The Company strives to provide each employee with a safe and healthy work environment.  Each employee has responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for all employees by following safety and health rules and practices and reporting accidents, injuries and unsafe equipment, practices or conditions.


Violence and threatening behavior are not permitted.  Employees should report to work in condition to perform their duties, free from the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol.  The use of alcohol and/or illegal drugs in the workplace will not be tolerated.



4




 


8.

Record-Keeping .


The Company requires honest and accurate recording and reporting of information in order to make responsible business decisions.  For example, only the true and actual number of hours worked should be reported.


Many employees regularly use business expense accounts, which must be documented and recorded accurately.  If you are not sure whether a certain expense is legitimate, ask your supervisor or the Company’s controller or chief financial officer.


All of the Company’s books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Company’s transactions and must conform to both applicable legal requirements and to the Company’s systems of accounting and internal controls.  Unrecorded or “off the books” funds or assets should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable laws or regulations.


Business records and communications often become public, and we should avoid exaggeration, derogatory remarks, guesswork or inappropriate characterizations of people and companies that can be misunderstood.  This applies equally to e-mail, internal memos and formal reports.  Records should always be retained or destroyed according to the Company’s record retention policies.  In accordance with these policies, in the event of litigation or governmental investigation please consultant your supervisor.  All e-mail communications are the property of the Company and employees, officers and directors should not expect that Company or personal e-mail communications are private.  All e-mails are the property of the Company.  No employee, officer or director shall use Company computers, including to access the internet, for personal or non-Company business.


9.

Confidentiality .


Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be of use to competitors, or harmful to the Company or its customers, if disclosed.  It also includes information that suppliers and customers have entrusted to us.  Employees must maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Company or its customers, except when disclosure is required by laws or regulations.  Always store confidential information in a safe place and follow security procedures for the computer systems you use.  In addition, use common sense to help prevent accidental disclosure of confidential information.  Remember, you can be overhead in public places such as airplanes, elevators and restaurants.  Avoid communicating the Company's confidential information over mobile phones in a manner that could be understood by outsiders, for example in a crowded public place.  Be particularly careful about sending information by e-mail; it is easy to mistype an e-mail address and send the information to an unintended recipient.  Do not discuss the Company's confidential information with family or friends.  The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after employment ends.  In connection with this obligation, employees, officers and directors may be required to execute confidentiality agreements confirming their agreement to be bound not to disclose confidential information.  If you are uncertain whether particular information is confidential or non-public, please consult your supervisor.

Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets .


All officers, directors and employees should endeavor to protect the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use.  Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company’s profitability.  Any suspected incident of fraud or theft should be immediately reported for investigation.  Company equipment should not be used for non-Company business.


The obligation of officers, directors and employees to protect the Company’s assets includes its proprietary information.  Proprietary information includes intellectual property such as trade secrets, patents, trademarks and copyrights, as well as business, marketing and service plans, engineering and manufacturing ideas, designs, databases, records, salary information and any unpublished financial data and reports.  Intellectual property developed by Company employees and related to the Company's business is the property of the Company.  In addition to maintaining the confidentiality of the Company's intellectual property, you may not use the Company's intellectual property for non-Company purposes without the consent of the Board of Directors.  Unauthorized use or distribution of this information would violate Company policy.  It could also be illegal and result in civil or even criminal penalties.


11.

Payments to Government Personnel .


The United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits giving anything of value, directly or indirectly, to officials of foreign governments or foreign political candidates in order to obtain or retain business.  It is strictly prohibited to make illegal payments to government officials of any country.


In addition, the U. S. government has a number of laws and regulations regarding business gratuities that may be accepted by U. S. government personnel.  The promise, offer or delivery to an official or employee of the U. S. government of a gift, favor or other gratuity in violation of these rules would not only violate Company policy, but could also be a criminal offense.  State and local governments, as well as foreign governments, may have similar rules.


12.

Public Communications and Social Media .


Only those individuals specifically authorized by the Company may speak on behalf of the Company.  Public comments made by individuals identified as Company employees in a variety of contexts such as tradeshows, press conferences, news media interviews and on the Internet, including on "wikis," blogs, websites that allow you to post audio or video, online discussion groups and social networking websites, may be perceived by outsiders as representing "official positions."  Similarly, fax or email communications in which the Company's name appears on the cover sheet, in the letterhead, in a footer or in the employee's email address may be viewed by the recipient as expressing the Company's position, whether intended or not.  As a result, you should:




6




 


·

not speak or appear to be speaking on behalf of the Company unless you are specifically authorized; this includes posting content on the Internet and utilizing social media;


·

not use the Company's logo when posting content on the Internet unless you have permission from the Company's Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer;


·

contact the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer before replying to any media inquiries;


·

be sensitive to situations in which your identity as a Company employee is known and as a result you may be viewed as speaking on behalf of the Company; in those situations, you should make it clear that the views you express are your own and that you do not speak on behalf of the Company; and


·

never publicly disclose the Company's or any third party's confidential information when participating in external forums.  


The Company expects employees to exercise personal responsibility whenever they use social media, which includes not violating the trust of those with whom they are engaging.  Employees should never use social media for covert advocacy, marketing or public relations.  Only those officially designated can use social media to speak on behalf of the Company in an official capacity, though employees may use social media to speak for themselves individually or to exercise their legal rights under the National Labor Relations Act.  If you have not been specifically designated to speak for the Company, you should assume you do not have that authority. If an employee is authorized by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer to use social media to communicate on the Company's behalf, he or she should clearly identify themselves as employees.


When you see misrepresentations made about by media, analyst, bloggers or other social media users, you may certainly use your blog, social networking account, or someone else's to point that out.  But you may only do so in an official capacity with the Company's prior consent.  Different social media channels have proper and improper business uses. For example, members of social networks are expected to read, and when appropriate respond, to questions asked of them from another member of their social network. It is important for employees to understand what is recommended, expected and required when they discuss related topics, whether at work or on their own time.  Employees are responsible for making sure that their online activities do not interfere with their ability to fulfill their job requirements or their commitments to their managers, co-workers or customers.


13.

Internet Access .


Internet access is provided to the Company's employees primarily for business use.  Non-business use of those resources must be governed by good judgment and restraint.  Use of those resources, whether in or out of the office, is not private.  The Company can and will monitor



7




 


individual use of network services, including visits to specific Web sites and individual e-mail.  The Company's computing and networking resources should never be used to access or disseminate sexually explicit content, slanderous or libelous content, threatening or harassing messages or chain letters, or other content that could be construed as hostile or inconsistent with Company values.  If you have a question about whether a particular site is prohibited, talk to your supervisor.


14.

Waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics .


We expect that Company personnel will follow the Code and that waivers will rarely be requested or granted.  Any waiver of the provisions of this Code may be made only by the Board of Directors.  Waivers for members of the Board of Directors and executive leadership team can only be granted by the Board of Directors and must be promptly disclosed to our stockholders along with the reasons for the waiver.


15.

Reporting any Illegal or Unethical Behavior .


Employees are encouraged to talk with supervisors, managers or Company officials about observed illegal or unethical behavior, and when in doubt about the best course of action in a particular situation.  It is the Company’s policy not to allow retaliation for reports of misconduct by others made in good faith by employees.  Employees are expected to cooperate in internal investigations of misconduct, and the failure to do so could serve as grounds for termination.  Any employee may submit a good faith concern regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters to the Company's Board of Directors without fear of dismissal or retaliation of any kind.
