WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU

ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

 

Dear Shareholders:

 

This Information Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ScripsAmerica, Inc. (the “Company”) to inform shareholders of the Company of certain action adopted by the Board and approved by shareholders holding a majority in interest of the voting power of the Company. This Information Statement will be mailed on approximately May 14, 2014 to shareholders of record of the Company’s Common Stock as of April 25, 2014 (“Record Date”). Specifically, this Information Statement relates to the following:

 

1. On March 26, 2014 the Board adopted two resolutions: (i) a resolution to amend the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to change the capital structure of the corporation by increasing the authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company from 150,000,000 to 250,000,000; and (ii) a resolution to adopt an Incentive Stock Option Plan.

 

2. Also on March 26, 2014 the Board referred both (i) the proposed amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to shareholders for approval (with its recommendation for the approval of such amendment) and (ii) the proposed adoption of the Incentive Stock Option Plan to shareholders for approval (with its recommendation for the approval of such Incentive Stock Option Plan).

 

3. On April 16, 2014 ten shareholders holding a majority in interest of the voting power of the Company (52.088%) approved the amendment by written consent and as a result no further votes will be needed.

 

The filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State which will effect the foregoing amendment will not be done until a date which is at least twenty (20) days after the mailing of this definitive Information Statement. This Information Statement will be sent on or about May 14, 2014 to the Company’s shareholders of record on the Record Date who have not been solicited for their consent to this corporate action.

 

Pursuant to Delaware law, there are no dissenter’s or appraisal rights relating to the action taken.

PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

 

To date, the Company has secured a substantial amount of its financial support from the issuance of convertible debt instruments. As time has gone by, the Company has issued shares upon the conversion of that debt by the lenders. In addition, from time to time the Company has entered into various settlement agreements and has issued shares of its Common Stock as consideration for the settlement. In addition, the Company must reserve shares for the potential conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and can be expected to need to reserve additional shares in connection with future financings. Given all of these requirements for shares, the current level is inadequate. The increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock is expected to solve this problem for the foreseeable future.

 

PURPOSE OF ADOPTING INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

The awarding of stock options to employees is a relatively standard form of compensation to attract and retain qualified and motivated personnel. A stock option plan which is qualified under the Internal Revenue Code is tax-advantaged for the employee and presumably more rewarding for the employee exercising options. Although the Company does not, at present, have any employees to whom stock options would be awarded, the Company is adopting such a plan at this point in order to meet the Internal Revenue Code requirement that the plan be approved by the shareholders within one year before adoption or within the year after adoption. Since the Company is mailing this Information Statement with respect to the amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation, it is cost effective to include the adoption of the plan at the same time. Accordingly, the Board recommended the adoption at this point in time.

 

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTER BEING ACTED UPON

 

No director, executive officer, associate of any director or executive officer, or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, resulting from the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation described herein which is not shared by all other shareholders pro rata and in accordance with their respective interests.

 

Likewise, no director, executive officer, associate of any director or executive officer, or any other person currently has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, resulting from the adoption of the Incentive Stock Option Plan described herein which is not shared by all other shareholders pro rata and in accordance with their respective interests. An Incentive Stock Option Plan is a so-called “Qualified Plan” under the Internal Revenue Code and is for the benefit of employees of the adopting Company. It is a requirement of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder that the beneficiaries of such a plan must be employees, not consultants. None of the current directors is an employee of the Company. Of the directors, only Mr. Schneiderman is compensated as an executive but he is compensated as a consultant, not as an employee. The only other officer, Jeffrey J. Andrews, the CFO, is also a consultant and not an employee. However, should Mr. Schneiderman or Mr. Andrews become an employee, he would then become eligible to receive options under the Plan. It is anticipated that at some point Messrs. Schneiderman and Andrews will become employees; however, they have received options under a non-qualified plan and it is not expected that they will receive options under this Incentive Stock Option Plan.

AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

 

The Board and shareholders holding the necessary number of votes have approved an amendment to the Company’s amended Certificate of Incorporation to amend Section 1 of Article Fourth to effect an increase in the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 250,000,000. At the present time, the Company is authorized to issue 160,000,000 shares of capital stock, divided into 10,000,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock and 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As amended, Article Fourth will read as follows:

 

“FOURTH. The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is (i) Two Hundred Fifty Million (250,000,000) shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (“ Common Stock ”) and (ii) Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share (“ Preferred Stock ”).

 

The remainder of Article FOURTH, being the statement of the designations and the powers, privileges, and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation, shall remain as currently written, without change or amendment, except as may be required for the increase.

 

Article Fourth is set forth in its entirety on Exhibit A attached to this Information Statement.

 

Shareholder Rights

 

Holders of the Company’s Common Stock have the following rights:

 

- they have ratable rights to receive dividends from funds legally available therefor, when, as, and if declared by the Board

 

- they are entitled to share ratably in the assets of the Company available for distribution upon liquidation of the Company, subject to the rights of senior securities to receive preferred distributions

 

Neither the Common Stock itself nor the holders thereof have any of the following rights:

 

- special voting rights

 

- preference as to dividends or interest

 

- preemptive rights to purchase securities in new issues of shares of Common Stock or of securities convertible into shares of Common Stock

 

- preference upon liquidation

 

- any other special rights or preferences

 

In addition, the shares of Common Stock are not convertible into any other security.

 

Cumulative Voting

 

The holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock, Common and Preferred, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose. In such event, the holders of the remaining voting shares will not be able to elect any of the Company’s directors.

Dividends

 

We have never had net profits on operations and therefore are currently proscribed under the Delaware General Corporation Law from declaring dividends. We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock or our Preferred Stock. Moreover, our Board of Directors has no present intention of declaring any cash dividends, as we expect to re-invest all profits in the business for additional working capital for continuity and growth. The declaration and payment of dividends in the future will be determined by our Board of Directors considering the conditions then existing, including the Company's earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.

 

Possible Anti-Takeover Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock

 

One effect of the existence of authorized but unissued capital stock may be to enable the Board to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to gain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of the Company’s management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, the Board were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the Company’s best interests, such shares could be issued by the Board without shareholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent, or render more difficult or costly, completion of the proposed takeover transaction by diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent shareholders or shareholder group, by (i) creating a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent board of directors, (ii) by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or (iii) by some other transaction involving issuance of the unissued shares.

 

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

The Board and shareholders holding the necessary number of votes have adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan, intended to be a qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code. The adoption of such a tax-advantaged plan is intended to assist the company in attracting and retaining qualified and motivated personnel. At present the Company does not have any employees and therefore there are no persons who would be qualified to receive a grant of stock options. The Plan is being adopted so as to be available when the Company has employees.

 

The Incentive Stock Option as adopted is set forth in its entirety on Exhibit B attached to this Information Statement.

From and after the issuance thereof, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of funds legally available therefor, a dividend for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by each such holder at a rate of eight percent (8%) of the Original Series A Issue Price (as defined below) (appropriately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, consolidations and similar changes hereafter effected) (the “ Series A Dividend ”).

The “ Series A Original Issue Price shall mean $0.3488 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

2.                Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales .

 

2.1             Preferential Payments to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock .

If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 2.1 the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any class or series of stock ranking on liquidation on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

2.2            Distribution of Remaining Assets . In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock and any other series of capital stock entitled pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation to participate with the Common Stock in the distribution of such remaining assets pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation. The aggregate amount which a holder of a share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive under Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 is hereinafter referred to as the “ Series A Liquidation Amount .”

 

2.3           Deemed Liquidation Events .

 

2.3.1.           Definition .

In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Subsection 2.3.1(a)(ii) or 2.3.1(b) , if the Corporation does not effect a dissolution of the Corporation under the General Corporation Law within 90 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, then (i) the Corporation shall send a written notice to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock no later than the 90th day after the Deemed Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause (ii) to require the redemption of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and (ii) if the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock so request in a written instrument delivered to the Corporation not later than 120 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall use the consideration received by the Corporation for such Deemed Liquidation Event (net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation), together with any other assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders (the “ Available Proceeds ”), to the extent legally available therefor, on the 150th day after such Deemed Liquidation Event, to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series A Liquidation Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Available Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder's shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be redeemed if the Available Proceeds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the Corporation has funds legally available therefor. If the Corporation redeems shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Subsection 2.3.2(b) , the Corporation shall deliver to each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock a written notice (the “ Redemption Notice ”) of such redemption which Redemption Notice shall state:

 

(a) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the holder that the Corporation shall redeem as determined in accordance with this Section (the “ Redeemed Shares ”) on the redemption date specified in the Redemption Notice;

 

(b) the redemption date and the Series A Liquidation Amount as determined by this Section; and

 

(c)     instructions to the holder regarding the surrender of his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the Redeemed Shares (including instructions if the holder lost any such certificate(s)). If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the redemption date the Series A Liquidation Amount payable upon redemption of the Redeemed Shares is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the Redeemed Shares shall not have been surrendered, all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the redemption date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Series A Liquidation Amount without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor. Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this Subsection 2.3.2 , the Corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Deemed Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event.

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “ Conversion Rights ”):

 

4.1             Right to Convert .

 

4.1.1.           Conversion Ratio . Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series A Original Issue Price by the Series A Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “ Series A Conversion Price ” shall initially be equal to $0.3488. Such initial Series A Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.

 

4.1.2.          Termination of Conversion Rights . In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

11
 

 

 

4.2             Fractional Shares . No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

 

4.3 Mechanics of Conversion .

 

4.3.1.           Notice of Conversion . In order for a holder of Series A Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder's name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or ce1iificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “ Conversion Time ”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, (ii) pay in cash such amount as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and (iii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted (including accrued but unpaid Series A Dividends).

 

4.3.2.           Reservation of Shares . The Corporation shall at all times when the Series A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Series A Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Series A Conversion Price.

 

12
 

 

4.3.3.      Effect of Conversion . All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and te1minate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Subsection 4.2 and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon (including accrued but unpaid Series A Dividends). Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock accordingly.

 

4.3.4.      No Further Adjustment . Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.

 

4.3.5.      Taxes . The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4 . The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

4.4.3. Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock .

 

(a)                    If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

 

(b)                     If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4 , are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Series A Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Series A Conversion Price that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date.

 

(c)                     If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4 (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 4.4.5 ) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Series A Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series A Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series A Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 4.4.3(a) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective.

 

15
 

 

 

(d)                    Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4 , the Series A Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued.

 

(e)                     If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price provided for in this Subsection 4.4.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Subsection 4.4.3 ). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this Subsection 4.4.3 at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

 

4.4.4.      Adjustment of Series A Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock .

CP2 = CP1* (A + B) + (A + C).

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

 

(a)                     “CP2” shall mean the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock

 

(b)                    “CP1” shall mean the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock;

 

(c)                  “A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Series A Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefor) immediately prior to such issue);

 

(d)                     “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issue by CP1); and

 

(e)                      “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock issued in such transaction.

 

16
 

 

4.4.5.      Determination of Consideration . For purposes of this Subsection 4.4 , the consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

 

(a)                     Cash and Property : Such consideration shall:

 

(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest;

 

(ii) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; and

 

(iii) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

(b)                    Options and Convertible Securities . The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsection 4.4.3 , relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

 

4.4.6. Multiple Closing Dates . In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4, and such issuance dates occur within a period of no more than 90 days from the first such issuance to the final such issuance, then, upon the final such issuance, the Series A Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances within such period).

 

4.5                    Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations . If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

17
 

 

 

4.6                    Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions . In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

(1)            the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

 

(2)            the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series A Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series A Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series A Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

4.7                    Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions . In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 1 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities, or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities, or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

4.8                    Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc . Subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3 , if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Subsections 4.4 , 4.6 or 4.7 ), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 1(including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Series A Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Prefe1Ted Stock (but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Series A Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

4.10 Notice of Record Date . In the event:

 

(a)              the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

5.2            Procedural Requirements . All holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5 . Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Subsection 5.1 , including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Subsection 5.2 .

Such converted Series A Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock accordingly.

EXHIBIT B - Incentive Stock Option Plan

 

SCRIPSAMERICA, INC.

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

1. Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to secure for ScripsAmerica, Inc. (the "Corporation) and its stockholders the benefits which flow from providing key corporate executive and managerial employees ("key employees") with the incentive inherent in common stock ownership. It is generally recognized that stock option plans aid in retaining key employees and furnish a device to attract executives and managers of exceptional ability to the Corporation because of the opportunity offered to acquire a proprietary interest in the business. The stock options granted under this Plan are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 422.

 

2. Amount of stock. No options shall be granted under this plan until the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of ScripsAmerica, Inc. have been increased to 250,000,000. The total number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to options granted pursuant to this Plan on and after the date on which the Certificate of Amendment authorizing an increase in the authorized shares of Common Stock to 250,000,000 shall become effective, shall not exceed 6,000,000 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock. This total number of shares shall be subject to appropriate increase or decrease in the event of a stock dividend upon, or a subdivision, split-up, combination or reclassification of, the shares purchasable under such options. In the event that options granted under this Plan shall lapse without being exercised in whole or in part, other, new, options may be granted covering the shares not purchased under such lapsed options.

 

3. Stock option committee. The Board of Directors may, from time to time, appoint a Stock Option Committee (hereinafter called the "Committee"), to serve under this Plan. The Committee shall consist of three or more directors. In the absence of such a committee, the entire Board of Directors shall serve as the Stock Option Committee, and all references in this Plan to the “Committee" shall refer to the entire Board of Directors.

 

4. Eligibility and participation. Options may be granted pursuant to this Plan to key employees of the Corporation and any subsidiaries which may exist from time to time (hereinafter called "employees"). From time to time the Committee shall select the employees to whom options may be granted by the Board of Directors and shall determine the number of shares to be covered by each option so granted. Future as well as present employees (including officers, executives, managerial employees and key consultants who are directors) shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. Directors who are not employees of the Corporation or a subsidiary are not eligible to participate in the Plan. No option may be granted under the Plan after April 14, 2024.

 

5. Option agreement. The terms and provisions of options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be set forth in an agreement, herein called Option Agreement, between the Corporation and the key employee receiving the same. The Option may be in such form, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors. The Option Agreement shall contain a provision permitting the cashless exercise of the options granted by such Option Agreement.

6. Price. The purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable under options granted pursuant to the Plan shall not be less than 100 percent of the fair market value at the time the options are granted. The purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable under options granted pursuant to this Plan to a person who owns more than 10 percent of the voting power of the Corporation's voting stock shall not be less than 110 percent of the fair market value of such shares, at the time the options are granted. For the purposes of the preceding sentence (a) the employee shall be considered as owning the stock owned directly or indirectly by or for himself, the stock which the employee may purchase under outstanding options and the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his brothers and sisters (whether of the whole or half blood), spouse, ancestors, and lineal descendants and (b) stock owned directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate, or trust shall be considered as being owned proportionately by or for its shareholders, partners, or beneficiaries. For all purposes of this Plan, the fair market value of the Common Stock of the Corporation shall be determined in good faith at the time of the grant of any option by decision of the Stock Option Committee. In making such determination, the Stock Option Committee shall not take into account the effect of any restrictions on the Common Stock other than restrictions which, by their terms, will never lapse. The full purchase price of shares purchased shall be paid upon exercise of the option; although the Option Agreement shall contain a cashless exercise provision. Under certain circumstances such purchase price per share shall be subject to adjustment as referred to in Section 11 of this Plan.

 

7. Limitation of Amount of Options Granted. The total value of options granted, under this Plan, to any one person, shall not exceed any limit imposed by Section 422 or the rules and regulations promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service thereunder. Currently, the limitation is One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in value in any one corporate fiscal year.

 

8. Option period. No option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the option is first granted. The expiration date stated in the Option Agreement is hereinafter called the Expiration Date.

 

9. Termination of employment. The Option Agreement shall provide that:

 

(a) If prior to the Expiration Date the employee shall for any reason whatever, other than (1) his authorized retirement as defined in (b) below, or (2) his death, cease to be employed by the Corporation or a subsidiary, any unexercised portions of the option granted shall automatically terminate;

 

(b) If prior to the Expiration Date the employee shall (1) retire upon or after reaching the age which at the time of retirement is established as the normal retirement age for employees of the Corporation (such normal retirement age now being 65 years) or (2) with the written consent of the Corporation retire prior to such age on account of physical or mental disability (such retirement pursuant to (1) or (2) being deemed an "authorized retirement") any unexercised portion of the option shall expire at the end of three (3) months after such authorized retirement, and during such three months' period the employee may exercise all or any part of the then unexercised portion of the option; and

 

(c) If prior to the Expiration Date the employee shall die (at a time when he is an employee of the Corporation or a subsidiary or within three months after his authorized retirement), the legal representatives of his estate or a legatee or legatees shall have the privilege, for the balance of the three months period after his authorized retirement, of exercising all or any part of the then unexercised portion of the option.

 

Nothing in (b) or (c) shall extend the time for exercising any option granted pursuant to the Plan beyond the Expiration Date.

22
 

 

 

10. Assignability. The Option Agreement shall provide that the option granted thereby shall not be transferable or assignable by the employee/consultant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and during the lifetime of the employee shall be exercisable only by him.

 

11. Adjustment in case of stock splits, stock dividends, etc. The Option Agreement may contain such provisions as the Board of Directors may approve as equitable concerning the effect upon the option granted thereby and upon the per share or per unit option price, of (a) stock dividends upon, or subdivisions, split-ups, combinations or reclassifications of, the securities purchasable under the option, or (b) proposals to merge or consolidate the corporation or to sell all or substantially all of its assets, or to liquidate or dissolve the Corporation.

 

12. Stock for investment. Unless the shares to be issued upon exercise of an option shall have been registered with the SEC, the Option Agreement shall provide that the employee shall upon each exercise of a part of all of the option granted represent and warrant that his purchase of stock pursuant to such option is for investment only, and not with a view to distribution involving a public offering. At any time the Board of Directors of the Corporation may waive the requirement of such a provision in any Option Agreement entered into under any stock option plan of the Corporation.

 

13. Amendment of the Plan. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may from time to time alter, amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan and make rules for its administration, except that the Board of Directors shall not amend the Plan in any manner which would have the effect of preventing options issued under the Plan from being "incentive stock options" as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

 

14. Options discretionary. The granting of options under the Plan shall be entirely discretionary with the Stock Option Committee and nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any officer or managerial employee any right to participate in the Plan or to receive options.

 

15. Stockholder approval. The Plan will be submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation holding a majority in interest of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock for approval by such holders. If the Plan is not approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation by May 31, 2014 then the Plan shall terminate and any options granted hereunder shall be void and of no further force or effect.
