Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously reported, on November 28, 2018, Generex Biotechnology Corporation (the “Company”) and Regentys Corporation. (“Regentys”) entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) contemplating the Company’s acquisition of 51% of the outstanding capital stock of Regentys for a total consideration of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000). On January 7, 2019 the Company completed a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement and related documents effecting the transactions contemplated by the LOI.

 

Consideration for Proposed Acquisition

 

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and Regentys (the “Purchase Agreement”) the Company purchased 12,048,161 newly issued shares of the Regentys common stock representing 51% percent of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Regentys (“Regentys Shares”).

 

In addition to $400,000 paid to Regentys upon signing of the LOI, the purchase price for the Regentys Shares will consist of the following cash payments, with the proceeds intended to be used for specific purposes, as noted:

 

  • $3,450,000 to initiate pre-clinical activities on or before January 15, 2018.
  • $2,000,000 to initiate patient recruitment activities on or before May 1, 2019.
  • $3,000,000 to initiate a first-in-human pilot study on or before September 1, 2019.
  • $5,000,000 to initiate a human pivotal study on or before February 1, 2020.
  • $1,150,000 to submit a 510(k) de novo submission to the FDA on or about February 1, 2021.

 

The Company issued its Promissory Note in the amount of $14,600,000 (the “Note’) representing its obligation to pay the above amounts. The Note is secured by a pledge of the Regentys pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement. In the event that Generex does not make any of the first three payments listed above, at Regentys’ option either:

 

Generex will forfeit all of the Regentys shares issued with no refund of amounts paid; or
Generex will issue shares of its common stock to Regentys equivalent to 110% of the value of the missing payment, which shares will be registered for resale.

 

 

In the event Generex does not make either or both of the fourth and fifth payments, its share ownership of Regentys will be proportionately reduced.

 

Financial Statement Condition

 

  • Regentys is required to deliver, within sixty (60) calendar days of the Closing Date, its audited financial statements required by SEC regulations. In the event that the financial statements are not timely delivered, Generex will have the option to rescind the transaction, in which event all payments made prior to such rescission will be repaid by Regentys to Generex.

Shareholders Agreement

 

Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”) among Regentys, Generex, and shareholders of Regentys holding a majority of the shares not owned by Generex:

 

No shareholder, including Generex, may sell its shares of Regentys without first offering the shares to Regentys and to the other shareholders.
The Regentys Board of Directors will consist of
The CEO of Regentys and one other Regentys officer nominated by the holders of Generex Common Stock
For so long as Generex owns at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of Regentys, the CEO of Generex or another officer of Generex nominated by the Generex Board and reasonably acceptable to the other directors of Regentys
A designee of the holders of Regentys Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
Three Independent Directors elected by the holders of Regentys’ common stock, voting a separate class.

Management Services Agreement

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, Regentys entered into a Management Services Agreement with its founders and officers, Richard C. Bulman, Jr., Gerard S. Coombs and Gary Ramphal. The Management Services Agreement contains provisions which could require Generex to take certain actions to provide liquidity for the other Regentys shareholders. Provided Regentys revenues or value meets certain milestones, the Founders can require Generex to undertake an initial public offering or Regentys stock or seek to sell Regentys to a third party. In the event Joseph Moscato is no longer the CEO of Generex, the Founders can require this without Regentys meeting to the revenue and value milestones. In addition, beginning one year after the date of the Management Services Agreement, each Founder shall have the right to request that Generex assist such Founder with obtaining a loan from a third party lender secured by the Regentys stock owned by such Founder and/or the Generex stock issued to such Founder under a Generex stock plan. This assistance would include agreeing with a lender to exchange Generex stock for Regentys stock in the event of a default by the Founder.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, Note, Shareholders Agreement, Pledge and Security Agreement and Management Agreement are not complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the documents is filed as Exhibits 10.1-10.5 to this report and incorporated herein by reference. .

Actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results and performance to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Known risks and uncertainties also include those identified from time to time in the reports filed by Generex with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which should be considered together with any forward-looking statement. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future results or events, and one should avoid placing undue reliance on such statements. Generex undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Because of this, statements regarding the expected timing of clinical trials or ultimate regulatory approval cannot be regarded as actual predictions of when Generex will obtain regulatory approval for any “phase” of clinical trials or when it will obtain ultimate regulatory approval by a particular regulatory agency. Generex claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements that is contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.

6.       Promptly upon request of Pledgee from time to time, Pledgor will do all such acts and things and will execute and deliver to Pledgee all such documents as Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable in order to assure Pledgee of its rights granted hereunder, or otherwise by law, with respect to the Collateral and the proceeds thereof.

ARTICLE I

Restrictions on Transfer

Restrictions on Transfer . No Shareholder (including transferees of Shareholders) shall transfer any shares of Stock, or any Interest therein, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except in accordance with all of the provisions of this Agreement as used in this Agreement, the term “transfer" shall include any sale, pledge, gift, assignment, or other disposition of shares of Stock. Furthermore, a sale of any voting equity interest in the Corporation to a direct competitor of the Corporation, which shall include all persons and entities that sell products or services similar in function and purpose to the Corporation's products or services, shall in any event require the prior written approval of the Corporation's Board of Directors.

First Offer . If a Shareholder (the “ Selling Shareholder ") desires to transfer any or all of such Shareholder's Stock (the “ Offered Stock "), such Shareholder shall first give written notice (a “ Transfer Notice ") thereof to the Corporation, identifying the proposed transferee, the number of shares sought to be transferred, the proposed purchase price (the " Offered Price "), if applicable, the terms of the proposed transaction including the proposed transaction date and a copy of any written offer or other writing setting forth the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction. Such Transfer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer by the Selling Shareholder to sell all of the Offered Stock to the Corporation at the Offered Price and upon the same terms and conditions as the Selling Shareholder is willing to sell the Offered Stock to the proposed transferee; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Corporation (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), all transfers pursuant to this Article I shall be solely for cash. Once given, a Transfer Notice may not be modified or amended except with the written consent of the Corporation and the Investors (or their Permitted Transferees) holding at least two thirds of the Shares. Within the twenty (20) day period following the giving of the Transfer Notice (the " First Offer Period "), the Corporation may elect, by giving written notice of such election to the Selling Shareholder to purchase all but not less than all of the Offered Stock. Any modification or amendment of a Transfer Notice will be deemed a new Transfer Notice with respect to the proposed transfer and will restart the First Offer Period.

Second Offer . If the Corporation does not elect to purchase all of the Offered Stock within the First Offer Period, the Corporation shall then transmit a copy of the Transfer Notice to the Investors together with a statement that it has elected not to purchase the Offered Stock, and the Offered Stock shall thereby be offered by the Selling Shareholder to the Investors for a period of twenty (20) days from the transmittal of such Transfer Notice to the Investors (the " Second Offer Period "), for the same Offered price and upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice. Each Investor shall be initially entitled to elect to purchase such pro rata portion of the remaining Offered Stock as the number of shares of Stock (on an as-converted basis) owned by such Investor on the date of the commencement of the First Offer Period bears to the number of shares of Stock (on an as-converted basis) owned by all Investors on such date. In the event the Offered Stock consists of shares of different classes or series, the pro rata right to purchase the Offered Stock will apply separately to each class or series of shares.

  2  

 

Third Offer .
