NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN PURSUANT TO WRITTEN CONSENT

OF STOCKHOLDERS IN LIEU OF A MEETING

 

To the Stockholders of LifeApps Digital Media Inc.:

 

Notice is hereby given that stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, pursuant to a written consent, dated October 26, 2015, have authorized and approved the following:

 

Amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to (i) change our corporate name to LifeApps Brands Inc., (ii) effect a one-for-fifteen (1:15) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and (iii) increase our authorized capitalization from 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and to amend the LifeApps Digital Media Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2012 Plan from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000, on a post-Reverse Split basis.

 

The details of the foregoing actions and other important information are set forth in the accompanying Information Statement. Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved the above actions.

 

The amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not be effective until filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. We intend to file the amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation twenty (20) calendar days after the accompanying Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders.

 

No action is required by you. The accompanying Information Statement is furnished to you only to inform you of the actions described above before they take effect in accordance with Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Information Statement is being mailed to you on or about December __, 2015.

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDERS MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER THE MATTERS DESCRIBED HEREIN. The holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock have voted to approve the actions described herein by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Such written consent is sufficient to satisfy the stockholder vote requirement under DELAWARE law, and no additional votes will consequently be needed to approve these actions.

INFORMATION STATEMENT

November __, 2015

 

This Information Statement is being furnished to stockholders of LifeApps Digital Media Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LifeApps,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) to advise them of corporate actions approved without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent of stockholders. These actions are the adoption of an amendment (the “Charter Amendment”) to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to (i) change our corporate name to LifeApps Brands Inc., (ii) effect a one-for-fifteen (1:15) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and (iii) increase our authorized capitalization from 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and to amended the LifeApps Digital Media Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) to increase the number of shares issuable under the 2012 Plan from 10,000,000, on a pre-Reverse Stock Split basis, to 20,000,000, on a post-Reverse Split basis (the “2012 Plan Amendment”).

 

The Charter Amendment requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon. The 2012 Plan Amendment also requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon in order for stock options to be issued under the 2012 Plan to qualify as incentive stock options.

 

There are no rights of appraisal or similar rights of dissenters with respect to the Charter Amendment.

 

A copy of the Charter Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A.

 

We are sending this Information Statement to our stockholders as of the close of business on October 26, 2015. As of such date, there were outstanding 298,772,885 of our shares of common stock. The holders of our outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share registered in their names on our books at the close of business on such date.

 

Our Board of Directors, by written consent on October 26, 2015, has approved, and stockholders holding 149,715,385 shares (approximately 50.11%) of our outstanding shares of common stock on that date, have consented in writing to, the Charter Amendment and the 2012 Plan Amendment. Accordingly, all corporate actions necessary to authorize the Charter Amendment and the 2012 Plan Amendment have been taken. Under Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time, the “DGCL”), any action required or permitted by the DGCL to be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of a Delaware corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having at least a majority of the voting power that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting. Prompt notice of the approval of the Charter Amendment must be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing to the action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would otherwise have been entitled to notice of the meeting. This information statement constitutes the notice required by Section 228 of the DGCL.

 

In accordance with the regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Charter Amendment will not become effective until at least twenty (20) days after we have mailed this Information Statement to our stockholders. Promptly following the expiration of this 20-day period, we intend to file the Charter Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State; the Charter Amendment will become effective upon its filing with the Delaware Secretary of State.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS IS ONLY AN INFORMATION STATEMENT. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

 

Our executive offices are located at Polo Plaza, 3790 Via De La Valle, #116E, Del Mar, CA 92014.

 

This Information Statement is first being sent or given to the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock, our only class of voting securities outstanding, on or about December __, 2015. Each holder of record of shares of our shares of common stock at the close of business on October 26, 2015, is entitled to receive a copy of this Information Statement.

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

The following questions and answers are intended to respond to frequently asked questions concerning the actions approved by our Board of Directors and a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote. These questions do not, and are not intended to, address all the questions that may be important to you. You should carefully read the entire Information Statement, as well as its appendices and the documents incorporated by reference in this Information Statement.

 

Q:WHY AREN’T WE HOLDING A MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS?

 

A:Our Board of Directors has already approved the Charter Amendment and the 2012 Plan Amendment and has received the written consent of a majority of the voting interests entitled to vote on such actions. Under the DGCL these actions may be approved by the written consent of a majority of the voting interests entitled to vote on such matters. Since we have already received written consents representing the necessary number of votes, a meeting is not necessary and represents a substantial and avoidable expense.

 

Q:WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT TO CHANGE OUR COMPANY NAME?

 

A:Our Board of Directors has determined that the change of our name to “LifeApps Brands Inc.” is in the best interests of our company and its stockholders, and will more accurately reflect our current and future business focus.

 

Q:WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT?

 

A: Generally, the effect of a reverse stock split is to increase the market price per share by reducing the number of outstanding shares. Our Board of Directors believes that having fewer outstanding shares may encourage investor interest and improve the marketability and liquidity of our common stock. The reduction in the number of outstanding shares will result in an increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares available for future issuance by us in connection with capital raising transactions, mergers and acquisitions, compensation payable in stock and similar matters. There can be no assurance given however that any of the anticipated effects of a reverse stock split will occur. At the present time, we have no plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the shares of our common stock that will become available as a result of the Reverse Split.

 

Q:WHAT ARE THE PURPOSES OF THE INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED CAPITAL?

 

A: The purposes of the Amendment are to authorize additional shares of common stock and preferred stock for us to issue to raise capital, for mergers and acquisitions, and to provide compensation that is not payable in cash. At the present time, we have no plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the shares of our common stock that will become available as a result of the increase in our authorized common stock.

  

Q:HOW WILL THE 2012 PLAN AMENDMENT BE USED?

 

A:The 2012 Plan Amendment will be used to ensure that there are sufficient shares available for issuance under the 2012 Plan for the following purposes: to attract and retain qualified directors, officers and employees; to compensate consultants for services rendered to us which we could not otherwise afford to obtain; and to provide incentives for the generation of stockholder value. The 2012 Plan is administered by our Board of Directors, who will determine the recipients, size, and other terms of any awards under the 2012 Plan as modified by the 2012 Plan Amendment.

 

Q:CAN I REQUIRE YOU TO PURCHASE MY STOCK?

 

A:No. Under the DGCL, you are not entitled to appraisal and purchase of your stock as a result of the Charter Amendment or the 2012 Plan Amendment.

 

2
 

 

Q:WHO WILL PAY THE COSTS OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT AND THE 2012 PLAN AMENDMENT?

 

A:We will pay all of the costs of the Charter Amendment and the 2012 Plan Amendment, including distributing this Information Statement. To the extent applicable, we may also pay brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable expenses for forwarding information materials to the beneficial owners of our shares of common stock. We are not soliciting any proxies and will not contract for other services in connection with the stockholder action approving the Charter Amendment and the 2012 Plan Amendment.

 

AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

 

Our Board of Directors and stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock (the “Majority Stockholders”) have approved the Charter Amendment to (i) change our corporate name to LifeApps Brands Inc., (ii) effect a one-for-fifteen (1:15) reverse stock split, the Reverse Split, of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and (iii) increase our authorized capitalization from 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 

We intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th) day after this Information Statement is sent to our stockholders, the Charter Amendment effectuating the above-described amendments with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Charter Amendment will become effective on the date it is accepted for filing with the Delaware Secretary of State. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made on or after December __, 2015.

 

NAME CHANGE

 

We are changing our corporate name to LifeApps Brands Inc. Our Board of Directors has determined that the change of our name to LifeApps Brands Inc. is in the best interests of our company and its stockholders, and will more accurately reflect our current and future business focus. LifeApps is moving towards a strategy of creating digital mobile applications along with physical products and related services all under the LifeApps brand, through internal development as well as acquisitions.  We expect that this new approach will encompass not only the medical health related fields but other, non-health related themes as well.

 

1-FOR-15 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

Our Board of Directors and stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding common shares have approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-for-fifteen (1:15) reverse stock split of our common stock, the Reverse Split.

 

Pursuant to the Reverse Split, each fifteen (15) shares of our common stock registered in the name of a stockholder at the effective time of the Reverse Split will be converted into one share of our common stock. As required under Delaware law, with respect to the shares of common stock that would be converted into less than one share in the Reverse Split, the Company, at its discretion, will either (a) pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of common stock, or (b) issue a scrip or warrant in registered form to purchase our common stock which shall enable the holder thereof to receive a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrant aggregating a full share.

 

Our Board of Directors has the discretion to determine if and when to effect the Reverse Split and may abandon the Reverse Split. We expect to consummate the Reverse Split as soon as possible after the earlier of (a) twenty (20) days have passed from the commencement of our mailing or otherwise providing this Information Statement, and (b) we have received approval of the Reverse Split from FINRA.

 

The Reverse Split will only become effective following our filing of the Charter Amendment and our receipt of FINRA approval. The form of the proposed Charter Amendment to effect the Reverse Split is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A and the following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Charter Amendment.

 

Purposes of the Reverse Stock Split

 

Generally, the effect of a reverse stock split is to increase the market price per share by reducing the number of outstanding shares. A reverse stock split typically does not increase the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares. Our Board of Directors believes that an increased stock price may encourage investor interest and improve the marketability and liquidity of our common stock. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage firms and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers.

 

3
 

 

Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Our Board of Directors believes that the anticipated higher market price resulting from a reverse split may reduce, to some extent, the negative effects on the liquidity and marketability of our common stock inherent in some of the policies and practices of institutional investors and brokerage firms described above. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of our common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher.

 

Our Board of Directors also believes that the Reverse Split will afford the Company additional flexibility in consummating potential future financing and/or strategic transactions without the need for further stockholder approval. One consequence of the Reverse Split will be an increase in the ratio of the number of shares of our common stock that are authorized but unissued to the number of shares that are issued and outstanding. This will enable our Board of Directors to issue a greater multiple of our currently outstanding common stock without seeking stockholder approval to increase the total number of authorized shares.

 

Potential Risks of the Reverse Stock Split

 

Following the Reverse Split, there can be no assurance that the bid price of our common stock will continue at a level in proportion to the reduction in the number of outstanding shares resulting from such Reverse Split. In other words, there can be no assurance that the post-split market price of our common stock can be maintained for any period of time. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock after the proposed Reverse Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the proposed Reverse Split.

 

Additionally, the liquidity of our common stock could be affected adversely by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Split. Although our Board of Directors believes that a higher stock price may help generate investor interest, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Split will result in a per-share price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, the decreased liquidity that may result from having fewer shares outstanding may not be offset by any increased investor interest in our common stock resulting from a higher per share price.

  

Principal Effects of a Reverse Stock Split

 

If our Board of Directors determines to effect the Reverse Split, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock would decrease at the rate of 1 share of common stock for every 15 shares of common stock currently outstanding. The Reverse Split would be effected simultaneously for all of our common stock, and the exchange ratio would be the same for all shares of our common stock.

 

The following table contains approximate information relating to our common stock, based on share information as of November __, 2015:

 

    Current     After 1:15
Reverse Split
 
             
Authorized Common Stock     300,000,000       500,000,000 1
Common Stock issued and outstanding     298,772,885       19,918,192  

Common Stock Reserved for Issuance

   

10,000,000

     

20,000,000

 
Common Stock Authorized but Unissued    

1,227,115

     

480,081,808

 

 

Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. We do not expect the Reverse Split to affect the registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets QB Tier, and the Reverse Split will not be implemented until we receive requisite approval from FINRA.

 

After the effective date of the Reverse Split, each stockholder will own fewer shares of our common stock. However, the Reverse Split will generally affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in us, except to the extent that the Reverse Split results in any of our stockholders receiving cash or scrip in lieu of fractional shares as described herein. Proportionate voting rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of our common stock will not be affected by the Reverse Split other than as a result of the payment of cash or the issuance of scrip in lieu of issuing fractional shares. Further, the number of stockholders of record will not be affected by the Reverse Split.

 

 

1 Reflects the increase in our authorized capitalization approved by our majority shareholders on October 26, 2015.

 

4
 

 

The Reverse Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd-lots” of fewer than 100 shares of our common stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions on “round-lots” of even multiples of 100 shares. The Reverse Split would not change the number of authorized shares of our common stock as designated by our Certificate of Incorporation. Therefore, because the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock would decrease, the number of shares remaining available for issuance under our authorized pool of common stock would increase.

  

These additional shares of common stock would be available for issuance from time to time for corporate purposes such as raising additional capital, acquisitions of companies or assets and sales of stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock. We believe that the availability of the additional shares along with the additional increase in our authorized common stock discussed elsewhere in this Information Statement will provide us with the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise and to take advantage of favorable opportunities. If we issue additional shares for any of these purposes, the ownership interest of our current stockholders would be diluted. At the present time, we have no plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the shares of our common stock that will become available as a result of the Reverse Split.

  

These proposals have been prompted solely by the business considerations discussed in the preceding paragraphs. Nevertheless, the additional shares of our common stock that would become available for issuance following the Reverse Split could also be used by our management to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes in control or changes in or removal of management, including transactions that are favored by a majority of our stockholders or in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner. For example, without further stockholder approval, our Board of Directors could sell shares of common stock in a private transaction to purchasers who would oppose a takeover or favor the current Board of Directors. Except as discussed above, our Board of Directors is not aware of any pending takeover or other transactions that would result in a change in control, and the proposal was not adopted to thwart any such efforts.

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares of our common stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share because they hold a number of shares which are not evenly divisible as a result of the Reverse Split ratio, upon surrender to the exchange agent of the certificates representing such fractional shares, shall be entitled to receive (a) cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of common stock, or (b) a scrip or warrant in registered form to purchase our common stock which shall enable the holder thereof to receive a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrant aggregating a full share. 

 

Reduction in Stated Capital

 

Pursuant to the Reverse Split, the par value of our common stock will remain $0.001 per share. As a result of the Reverse Split, on the effective date thereof, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our common stock will be reduced in proportion to the size of the Reverse Split, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Our stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged.

 

No Going Private Transaction

 

We currently have no intention to go private, and the Reverse Split is not intended to be the first step in a “going private transaction” and will not have the effect of a going private transaction under Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

 

Procedure for Effecting Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates

 

Our officers, in their discretion, will determine whether to implement the Reverse Split, taking into consideration the factors discussed above.

 

We would then file the Charter Amendment amending our Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State. The form of the Charter Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A. Upon the effective date specified in the Charter Amendment, without any further action on our part or our shareholders, the issued shares of common stock held by shareholders of record as of the effective date of the Reverse Split would be converted into a lesser number of shares of common stock calculated in accordance with the Reverse Split ratio of one-for-fifteen. The number of shares of common stock underlying outstanding options would also be automatically adjusted on the effective date.

Effect on Beneficial Holders (i.e., Shareholders Who Hold in “Street Name”)

 

If the Reverse Split is approved and we effect the Reverse Split, we intend to treat the common stock held by our shareholders in “street name,” through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their customers holding common stock in “street name.” However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures than registered shareholders for processing the Reverse Split. If you hold shares of our common stock with a bank, broker or other nominee and have any questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your bank, broker or other nominee.

 

Effect on Registered “Book-Entry” Holders (i.e., Shareholders that are Registered on the Transfer Agent’s Books and Records but do not Hold Certificates)

 

Some of the registered holders of our common stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent, Action Stock Transfer. These shareholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of our common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. If a shareholder holds registered shares in book-entry form with our transfer agent, no action would need to be taken to receive post-Reverse Split shares. If a shareholder is entitled to post-Reverse Split shares, a transaction statement would automatically be sent to the shareholder’s address of record indicating the number of shares of common stock held following the Reverse Split.

 

Effect on Certificated Shares

 

Our transfer agent would act as our exchange agent for the Reverse Split and would assist holders of our common stock in implementing the exchange of their certificates.

 

As soon as practicable after the effective date of a Reverse Split, shareholders holding shares in certificated form would be sent a transmittal letter by our transfer agent. The letter of transmittal would contain instructions on how a shareholder should surrender his or her certificates representing common stock (“Old Certificates”) to the transfer agent in exchange for certificates representing the appropriate number of whole post-Reverse Split common stock, as applicable (“New Certificates”). No New Certificates would be issued to a shareholder until that shareholder has surrendered all Old Certificates, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the transfer agent. No shareholder would be required to pay a transfer or other fee to exchange Old Certificates. The letter of transmittal would contain instructions on how you may obtain New Certificates if your Old Certificates have been lost. If you have lost your certificates, you may have to pay any surety premium and the service fee required by our transfer agent.

 

Until surrendered, we would deem outstanding Old Certificates held by shareholders to be canceled and only to represent the number of whole shares to which these shareholders are entitled.

 

Any Old Certificates submitted for exchange, whether because of a sale, transfer or other disposition of shares, would automatically be exchanged for New Certificates.

  

Shareholders should not destroy any stock certificates and should not submit any certificates until requested to do so by the transfer agent. Shortly after the Reverse Split the transfer agent would provide registered shareholders with instructions and a letter of transmittal for converting Old Certificates into New Certificates. In that case, shareholders are encouraged to promptly surrender Old Certificates to the transfer agent (acting as exchange agent in connection with the Reverse Split) in order to avoid having shares become subject to escheat laws.

 

No Dissenters’ Rights

 

In connection with the approval of the Reverse Split, you and our other stockholders will not have a right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares under the DGCL or our Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws.

 

Tax Consequences

 

The following discussion sets forth the material United States federal income tax consequences that management believes will apply to us and our stockholders who are United States holders at the effective time of the Reverse Split. This discussion does not address the tax consequences of transactions effectuated prior to or after the Reverse Split, including, without limitation, the tax consequences of the exercise of options, warrants, convertible debentures or similar rights to purchase stock. Furthermore, no foreign, state or local tax considerations are addressed herein. For this purpose, a United States holder is a stockholder that is: (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a domestic corporation, (iii) an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

 

6
 

 

No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon his or her exchange of pre- Reverse Split shares for post- Reverse Split shares. The aggregate tax basis of the post- Reverse Split shares received in the Reverse Split will be the same as the stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the pre- Reverse Split shares exchanged therefor. The stockholder’s holding period for the post- Reverse Split shares will include the period during which the stockholder held the pre- Reverse Split shares surrendered in the Reverse Split.

 

We should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Split.

 

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Our Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholders have approved the Charter Amendment to increase our authorized capitalization to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of the date hereof, there are 298,772,885 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

 

The increase in authorized capital will not have any immediate effect on the rights of our existing stockholders. However, our Board of Directors will have the authority to issue authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock at such times, for such purposes and for such consideration as the Board of Directors may determine to be appropriate without requiring future stockholder approval of such issuances, except as may be required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange regulations. At the present time, we have no plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the shares of our common stock that will become available as a result of the increase in our authorized common stock.

 

2012 Equity Incentive 2012 Plan; 2012 PLAN AMENDMENT

Our Board of Directors and our Majority Stockholders approved the LifeApps Digital Media Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (sometimes referred to herein as the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan became effective upon its adoption by our Board of Directors by written consent on September 10, 2012.

On October 26, 2015, our Board of Directors and our Majority Stockholders approved the 2012 Plan Amendment. Pursuant to the 2012 Plan Amendment, the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2012 Plan has been increased to 20,000,000, on a post-Reverse Split basis, from 10,000,000 shares, pre-Reverse Split. This increase was adopted in view of our planned 1 for 15 reverse stock-split.

The following is a description of the material provision of the 2012 Plan, as revised by the 2012 Plan Amendment. The summary that follows is not intended to be complete. Please see the copy of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, as revised by the 2012 Plan Amendment, attached hereto as Appendix B for a complete statement of its terms and conditions.

 

The purpose of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility; to provide incentives to individuals who perform services for us; and to promote the success of our business. The following classes of persons will be eligible to participate in the 2012 Plan: officers or other employees of the Company or its affiliates, individuals that the Company or an affiliate of the Company has engaged to become an officer or employee, or consultants or advisors of the Company or its affiliates who provide services to the Company or its affiliates, including non-employee members of our Board of Directors. At the present time, we have two persons who are our executive officers and directors, two additional persons who are non-employee directors and approximately eight persons who are employees or consultants who are eligible for grants under the 2012 Plan. In making a determination as to who shall receive a grant under the 2012 Plan and what that grant shall consist of, the Company takes into account the duties and responsibilities of the employee, director or consultant, the value of his services, his potential contribution to our success, the anticipated number of years of future service and other relevant factors.

 

The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended by the 2012 Plan Amendment, reserves a total of 20,000,000 shares, post-Reverse Split, of our common stock for issuance under the 2012 Plan. If an incentive award granted under the 2012 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to us in connection with an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2012 Plan.

 

The number of shares of our common stock subject to the 2012 Plan, any number of shares subject to any numerical limit in the 2012 Plan, and the number of shares and terms of any incentive award will be adjusted in the event of any change in our outstanding common stock by reason of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction.

 

Although we currently do not have a sufficient number of shares of our authorized but unissued common stock available for reservation to cover the 10,000,000 shares of our common stock that are currently authorized for grant under the 2012 Plan, following effectiveness of the Reverse Split and the increase in our authorized common stock, we will have sufficient authorized common stock to reserve the 20,000,000 shares authorized for issuance under the 2012 Plan Amendment.

Administration

If formed, the compensation committee of our Board of Directors will administer the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. In the event the compensation committee is not formed by our Board of Directors, our entire Board of Directors will serve the role of the committee. The administrative body will be hereinafter referred to as the “Administrator.” Subject to the terms of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, the Administrator will have complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards under the 2012 Plan.

Awards

The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, restricted stock or restricted stock units.

Stock Options. Stock options entitle the participant, upon exercise, to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock at a specified price and for a specified period of time. The exercise price for each stock option shall be determined by the Administrator but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The “fair market value” means the value of the common stock as the Administrator may determine in good faith, by reference to the closing price of such stock on any established stock exchange or national market system on which our common stock is listed on the day of determination, or if our common stock is not so listed, the value of such stock as may be determined by the Administrator in good faith.

Any stock options granted in the form of an incentive stock option will be intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Only options granted to employees qualify for incentive stock option treatment.

Each stock option shall expire at such time as the Administrator shall determine at the time of grant. No stock option shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of its grant. A stock option may be exercised in whole or in installments. A stock option may not be exercisable for a fraction of a share. Shares of our common stock purchased upon the exercise of a stock option must be paid for in full at the time of exercise in cash or such other consideration determined by the Administrator.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock appreciation right (“SAR”) is the right to receive a payment equal to the excess of the fair market value of a specified number of shares of common stock on the date the SAR is exercised over the exercise price of the SAR. The exercise price for each SAR shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, and the term shall be no more than ten years from the date of grant. At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon an SAR exercise may be in cash, in shares equivalent thereof, or in some combination thereof.

Upon exercise of an SAR, the participant shall be entitled to receive payment from us in an amount determined by multiplying the excess of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the SAR by the number of shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. The payment may be made in cash or stock, at the discretion of the Administrator.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock and restricted stock units may be awarded or sold to participants under such terms and conditions as shall be established by the Administrator. Restricted stock and restricted stock units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Administrator determines, including a prohibition against sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or hypothecation, and a requirement that the participant forfeit such shares or units in the event of termination of employment. A restricted stock unit provides a participant the right to receive payment at a future date after the lapse of restrictions or achievement of performance criteria or other conditions determined by the Administrator.

Performance Stock. The Administrator shall designate the participants to whom long-term performance stock are to be awarded and determine the number of shares, the length of the performance period and the other vesting terms and conditions of each such award; provided the stated performance period will not be less than twelve (12) months. Each award of performance stock shall entitle the participant to a payment in the form of shares of our common stock upon the attainment of performance goals and other vesting terms and conditions specified by the Administrator. The Administrator may, in its discretion, make a cash payment equal to the fair market value of shares of common stock otherwise required to be issued to a participant pursuant to a Performance Stock Award.

All awards are discussed in more detail in the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. All awards made under the 2012 Plan may be subject to vesting and other contingencies as determined by the Administrator and will be evidenced by agreements approved by the Administrator which set forth the terms and conditions of each award.

Duration, Amendment and Termination

Unless sooner terminated by the Administrator, the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will terminate on September 10, 2022. Our Board of Directors will have the power to amend, alter, suspend or terminate the 2012 Plan at any time or from time to time without stockholder approval or ratification, unless necessary and desirable to comply with applicable law. No change may be made that increases the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2012 Plan or reduces the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards, unless such change is authorized by our stockholders within one year. However, before an amendment may be made that would adversely affect a participant who has already been granted an award, the participant’s consent must be obtained.

 

New Plan Benefits

 

At present, we have no plans to make additional grants under the 2012 Plan as amended.

 

Description of Securities

 

General

 

We are a Delaware corporation, and our affairs are governed by our Certificate of Incorporation, our by-laws and the DGCL. The following are summaries of material provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL insofar as they relate to the material terms of our shares of common stock. The following summary description relating to our share capital does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by our Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws.

 

Shares of common stock

 

Our Board of Directors believes that the increase in authorized shares of common stock is desirable in order to provide us with a greater degree of flexibility to issue shares of common stock, without the expense and delay of a special stockholders’ meeting, in connection with future equity financings, future opportunities for expanding the business through investments or acquisitions, management incentive and employee benefit plans and for other general corporate purposes. At the present time, we have no plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the shares of our common stock that will become available as a result of the increase in our authorized common stock.

 

To the extent that additional authorized shares of common stock are issued in the future, they will decrease our existing stockholders’ percentage equity ownership and, depending upon the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing stockholders. The holders of our shares of common stock have no preemptive rights.

 

Voting

 

Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each ordinary share on all matters to be voted on by the shareholders. Holders of shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion from funds legally available therefor. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities.

 

Holders of shares of common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase shares of common stock. There are no conversion or redemption rights or sinking fund provisions with respect to the shares of common stock.

 

Dividends

 

The holders of our shares of common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors. We have not paid any dividends on our shares of common stock to date and do not intend to pay dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of dividends in the future will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of a business combination. The payment of any dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our then Board of Directors. It is the present intention of our Board of Directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our Board of Directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Preferred Stock

 

We are currently authorized to issue 10,000,000 blank check shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. The Charter Amendment will not increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock.

 

9
 

 

Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. Shares of preferred stock will have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series of preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the preferred stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any preferred stock designation.

 

We do not have any current plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to create or issue any shares of preferred stock using the “blank check” authority afforded our Board of Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation. However, our Board of Directors believes that this authority is beneficial because it provides us with increased flexibility in pursuit of equity financing. Having authorized “blank check” preferred stock permits us to issue preferred stock for purposes that may be identified in the future, including (i) to raise additional capital or (ii) to engage in a range of investment and strategic opportunities through equity financings. The shares of preferred stock permit our Board of Directors to undertake the foregoing actions on an expedited basis, without the delay and expense ordinarily attendant on obtaining further shareholder approvals. In addition, our Board of Directors believes that the having authorized “blank check” preferred stock improves our ability to attract needed investment capital, as various series of the preferred stock may be customized to meet the needs of any particular transaction or market conditions. “Blank check” preferred stock is commonly authorized by publicly traded companies and is frequently used as a preferred means of raising capital. In particular, in recent years, smaller companies have been required to utilize senior classes of securities to raise capital, with the terms of those securities being highly negotiated and tailored to meet the needs of both investors and the issuing companies. Such senior securities typically include liquidation and dividend preferences, protections, conversion privileges and other rights not found in shares of common stock.

 

The issuance of preferred stock could affect the relative rights of the holders of our shares of common stock. Depending on the exact powers, preferences and rights, if any, of the preferred stock as determined by our Board of Directors at the time of issuance, the voting power and economic interest of the holders of our shares of common stock may be diluted. For example, the holders of preferred stock may be entitled to (i) certain preferences over the holders of our shares of common stock with respect to dividends or the power to approve the declaration of a dividend, (ii) in the event of liquidation of our company, receive a certain amount per share of their preferred stock before the holders of our shares of common stock receive any distribution, (iii) rights to convert their preferred stock into shares of common stock, and (iv) voting rights which would tend to dilute the voting rights of the holders of our shares of common stock. The aforementioned are only examples of how shares of our preferred stock, if issued, could result in:

 

·Reduction of the amount of funds otherwise available for payment of dividends on our shares of common stock;
·Restrictions on dividends on our shares of common stock;
·Dilution of the voting power of our shares of common stock; and
·Restrictions on the rights of holders of our shares of common stock to share in our assets upon liquidation until satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of our preferred stock.

 

Possible Anti-Takeover Effects of the Proposed Increase in Authorized Capital Stock

 

The increase in authorized capital with respect to the authorized number of shares of common stock and the subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by our stockholders. Authorized and unissued shares of common stock could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions. Any such issuance of additional shares of common stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of common stock, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us.

 

Our Board of Directors acknowledges that the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of discouraging or thwarting persons seeking to take control of us through a corporation transaction, tender offer or a proxy fight or otherwise seeking to bring about the removal of our incumbent management. Because the authorization of “blank check” preferred stock could be used by our Board of Directors for the adoption of a shareholder rights plan or “poison pill,” the preferred stock may be viewed as having the effect of discouraging an attempt by another person or entity to acquire control of us through the acquisition of a substantial numbers of shares of common stock.

 

While the Charter Amendment may have anti-takeover ramifications, our Board of Directors believes that the reasons for such the Charter Amendment set forth above outweigh any disadvantages. To the extent that such amendment may have anti-takeover effects, such amendment may encourage persons seeking to acquire our company to negotiate directly with the Board of Directors, enabling the Board of Directors to consider the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves our stockholders’ interests. The Charter Amendment has not been made in response to, and is not being presented to deter, any effort to obtain control of us.

2012 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

As Amended on October 26, 2015

 

1.           PURPOSE. The LifeApps Digital Media Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) has two complementary purposes: (a) to attract and retain outstanding individuals to serve as officers, employees, directors, consultants and advisors to the Company and its Affiliates, and (b) to increase stockholder value.

The Committee has full authority to administer this Plan, including the authority to (i) interpret the provisions of this Plan, (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan, (iii) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in any Award or agreement covering an Award in the manner and to the extent it deems desirable to carry this Plan into effect, and (iv) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan. All actions or determinations of the Committee are made in its sole discretion and will be final and binding on any person with an interest therein. If at any time the Committee is not in existence, the Board shall administer the Plan and references to the Committee in the Plan shall mean the Board.

 

(b)          Delegation to Committees or Officers. To the extent applicable law permits, the Board may delegate to another committee of the Board or to one or more officers of the Company, or the Committee may delegate to a sub-committee, any or all of the authority and responsibility of the Committee.

(c)          No Liability. No member of the Committee, and no individual or officer to whom a delegation under subsection (b) has been made, will be liable for any act done, or determination made, by the individual in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award.

Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award (or any other award granted under another plan of the Company or any Affiliate).

(b)          Replenishment of Shares Under this Plan. If an Award lapses, expires, terminates or is cancelled without the issuance of Shares or payment of cash under the Award, then the Shares subject to or reserved for in respect of such Award, or the Shares to which such Award relates, may again be used for new Awards as determined under subsection (a), including issuance pursuant to incentive stock options.

7.           OPTIONS. Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee will determine all terms and conditions of each Option, including but not limited to:

 

(a)          Whether the Option is an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option; provided that in the case of an incentive stock option, if the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of the Shares with respect to which such option and all other incentive stock options issued under this Plan (and under all other incentive stock option plans of the Company or any Affiliate that is required to be included under Code Section 422) are first exercisable by the Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such Option automatically shall be treated as a nonqualified stock option to the extent this limit is exceeded. Only employees of the Company or a Subsidiary are eligible to be granted incentive stock options;

 

(b)          The number of Shares subject to the Option;

 

(c)          The exercise price per Share, which may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share as determined on the date of grant; provided that an incentive stock option granted to a 10% Owner-Employee must have an exercise price that is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant;

(e)          The termination date, except that each Option must terminate no later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of grant and each incentive stock option granted to any 10% Owner-Employee must terminate no later than the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of grant.

 

In all other respects, the terms of any incentive stock option should comply with the provisions of Code Section 422 except to the extent the Committee determines otherwise.

(f)          With respect to awards of Restricted Stock Units, whether to credit dividend equivalent units equal to the amount of dividends paid on a Share and whether such dividend equivalent units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Award to which they relate.

 

11.         TRANSFERABILITY. Except as set forth in Section 15 hereof, each award granted under this plan is not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or to a revocable trust, or as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act.

 

12.         TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT.

 

(a)          Term. Subject to the right of the Board or Committee to terminate the Plan earlier pursuant to Section 12(b), the Plan shall terminate on, and no Awards may be granted after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Plan’s effective date.

 

(b)          Termination and Amendment. The Board or Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan at any time, provided that:

 

(i)          the Board must approve any amendment of this Plan to the extent the Company determines such approval is required by: (a) action of the Board, (b) applicable corporate law, or (c) any other applicable law or rule of a self-regulatory organization;

 

(ii)         stockholders must approve any of the following Plan amendments: (a) an amendment to materially increase any number of Shares specified in Section 6(a) (except as permitted by Section 14(a)) or expand the class of individuals eligible to receive an Award to the extent required by the Code, the Company’s bylaws or any other applicable law, (b) any other amendment if required by applicable law or the rules of any self-regulatory organization, or (c) an amendment that would diminish the protections afforded by Section 12(e); provided, that such stockholder approval may be obtained within 12 months of the approval of such amendment by the Board or Committee.

 

 B-4  

 

 

(c)          Amendment, Modification or Cancellation of Awards. Except as provided in subsection (e) and subject to the restrictions of this Plan, the Committee may modify or amend an Award or waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to an Award (including relating to the exercise, vesting or payment thereof), and the Committee may modify the terms and conditions applicable to any Award (including the terms of the Plan), and the Committee may cancel any Award, provided that the Participant (or any other person as may then have an interest in such Award as a result of the Participant’s death or the transfer of an Award) must consent in writing if any such action would adversely affect the rights of the Participant (or other interested party) under such Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee need not obtain Participant (or other interested party) consent for the amendment, modification or cancellation of an Award pursuant to the provisions of Section 14(a), or the amendment or modification of an Award to the extent deemed necessary to comply with any applicable law, the listing requirements of any principal securities exchange or market on which the Shares are then traded, or to preserve favorable accounting treatment of any Award for the Company.

 

(d)          Survival of Committee Authority and Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the authority of the Committee to administer this Plan and modify or amend an Award, and the authority of the Board or Committee to amend this Plan, shall extend beyond the date of this Plan’s termination. In addition, termination of this Plan will not affect the rights of Participants with respect to Awards previously granted to them, and all unexpired Awards will continue in full force and effect after termination of this Plan except as they may lapse or be terminated by their own terms and conditions.

 

(e)          Repricing Prohibited. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, neither the Committee nor any other person may decrease the exercise price of any Option or the grant price of any SAR nor take any action that would result in a deemed decrease of the exercise price or grant price of an Option or SAR under Code Section 409A, after the date of grant, except in accordance with Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) of the Treasury Regulations (26 C.F.R.), or in connection with a transaction which is considered the grant of a new Option or SAR for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, provided that the new exercise price or grant price is not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the new grant date.

 

(f)           Foreign Participation. To assure the viability of Awards granted to Participants employed or residing in foreign countries, the Committee may provide for such special terms as it may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of this Plan as it determines is necessary or appropriate for such purposes. Any such amendment, restatement or alternative versions that the Committee approves for purposes of using this Plan in a foreign country will not affect the terms of this Plan for any other country.

 

13.         TAXES.

 

(a)          Withholding. In the event the Company or any Affiliate is required to withhold any foreign, Federal, state or local taxes or other amounts in respect of any income recognized by a Participant as a result of the grant, vesting, payment or settlement of an Award or disposition of any Shares acquired under an Award, the Company may deduct (or require an Affiliate to deduct) from any payments of any kind otherwise due the Participant cash, or with the consent of the Committee, Shares otherwise deliverable or vesting under an Award, to satisfy such tax obligations. Alternatively, the Company may require such Participant to pay to the Company, in cash, promptly on demand, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment to the Company of the aggregate amount of any such taxes and other amounts required to be withheld. If Shares are deliverable upon exercise or payment of an Award, the Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or a portion of the foreign, Federal, state and local withholding tax obligations arising in connection with such Award by electing to (a) have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under the Award, (b) tender back Shares received in connection with such Award, or (c) deliver other previously owned Shares; provided that the amount to be withheld may not exceed the total minimum foreign, federal, state and local tax withholding obligations associated with the transaction to the extent needed for the Company to avoid an accounting charge. If an election is provided, the election must be made on or before the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined and otherwise as the Company requires. In any case, the Company may defer making payment or delivery under any Award if any such tax may be pending unless and until indemnified to its satisfaction.

 

(b)          No Guarantee of Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan, the Company does not guarantee to any Participant or any other person with an interest in an Award that any Award intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A shall be so exempt, nor that any Award intended to comply with Code Section 409A shall so comply, nor that any Award designated as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Code Section 422 qualifies as such, and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall indemnify, defend or hold harmless any individual with respect to the tax consequences of any such failure.

 

 B-5  

 

 

14.         ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS; CHANGE OF CONTROL.

 

(a)          Adjustment of Shares. If (i) the Company shall at any time be involved in a merger or other transaction in which the Shares are changed or exchanged; (ii) the Company shall subdivide or combine the Shares or the Company shall declare a dividend payable in Shares, other securities or other property; (iii) the Company shall effect a cash dividend the amount of which, on a per Share basis, exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share at the time the dividend is declared, or the Company shall effect any other dividend or other distribution on the Shares in the form of cash, or a repurchase of Shares, that the Committee determines by resolution is special or extraordinary in nature or that is in connection with a transaction that is a recapitalization or reorganization involving the Shares; or (iv) any other event shall occur, which, in the case of this subsection (iv), in the judgment of the Committee necessitates an adjustment to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Plan, then, in each case, the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of: (w) the number and type of Shares subject to this Plan (including the number and type of Shares that may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options), (x) the number and type of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, (y) the grant, purchase, or exercise price with respect to any Award, and (z) the performance goals established under any Award.

 

(i)          In any such case, the Committee may also make provision for a cash payment, in an amount determined by the Committee, to the holder of an outstanding Award in exchange for the cancellation of all or a portion of the Award (without the consent of the holder of an Award), effective at such time as the Committee specifies (which may be the time such transaction or event is effective); provided that any such adjustment to an Award that is exempt from Code Section 409A shall be made in a manner that permits the Award to continue to be so exempt, and any adjustment to an Award that is subject to Code Section 409A shall be made in a manner that complies with the provisions thereof. However, with respect to Awards of incentive stock options, no such adjustment may be authorized to the extent that such authority would cause this Plan to violate Code Section 422(b). Further, the number of Shares subject to any Award payable or denominated in Shares must always be a whole number.

 

(ii)        Without limitation, in the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination or other similar corporate transaction or event, whether or not constituting a Change of Control, other than any such transaction in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which the outstanding Common Stock is not being converted into or exchanged for different securities, cash or other property, or any combination thereof, the Committee may provide that awards, without limitation, will be assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent, will have the vesting accelerated or will be cancelled with or without consideration, in all cases without the consent of the Participant.

 

(iii)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend declared in lieu of an ordinary cash dividend) or subdivision or combination of the Shares (including a reverse stock split), adjustments contemplated by this subsection that are proportionate shall nevertheless automatically be made as of the date of such stock dividend or subdivision or combination of the Shares.

 

(b)          Issuance or Assumption. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, and without affecting the number of Shares otherwise reserved or available under this Plan, in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization, the Committee may authorize the cancellation, with or without consideration, issuance, assumption or acceleration of vesting of awards upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate, in all cases without the consent of the Participant.

 

(c)          Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that any or all outstanding Awards held by Participants who are then in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate shall vest or be deemed to have been earned in full, and:

 

(i)          If the successor or surviving corporation (or parent thereof) so agrees, all outstanding Awards shall be assumed, or replaced with the same type of award with similar terms and conditions, by the successor or surviving corporation (or parent thereof) in the Change of Control. If applicable, each Award which is assumed by the successor or surviving corporation (or parent thereof) shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change of Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Participant upon the consummation of such Change of Control had the Award been exercised or vested immediately prior to such Change of Control, and such other appropriate adjustments in the terms and conditions of the Award shall be made.

 

 B-6  

 

 

(ii)         If the provisions of paragraph (i) do not apply, then all outstanding Awards shall be cancelled as of the date of the Change of Control and, at the option of the Committee, may be exchanged for a payment in cash and/or Shares (which may include shares or other securities of any surviving or successor entity or the purchasing entity or any parent thereof) equal to:

 

(1)         In the case of an Option or SAR, the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of the Change of Control covered by the vested portion of the Option or SAR that has not been exercised over the exercise or grant price of such Shares under the Award;

 

(2)         In the case of Restricted Stock Units, the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the Change of Control multiplied by the number of vested units, unless otherwise provided in the Award agreement and subject to the repurchase right set forth in Section 15 hereof; and

 

(3)         In the case of a Performance Share Award, the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of the Change of Control multiplied by the number of earned Shares.

 

(d)          Parachute Payment Limitation.

 

(i)          Except as may be set forth in a written agreement by and between the Company and the holder of an Award, in the event that the Company’s auditors determine that any payment or transfer by the Company under the Plan to or for the benefit of a Participant (a “Payment”) would be nondeductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes because of the provisions concerning “excess parachute payments” in Code Section 280G, then the aggregate present value of all Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount (defined herein). For purposes of this Section 14(d), the “Reduced Amount” shall be the amount, expressed as a present value, which maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Code Section 280G.

 

(ii)         If the Company’s auditors determine that any Payment would be nondeductible by the Company because of Code Section 280G, then the Company shall promptly give the Participant notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and the Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion, which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall advise the Company in writing of his or her election within ten (10) days of receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Participant within such ten (10) day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Participant promptly of such election. For purposes of this Section 14(d), present value shall be determined in accordance with Code Section 280G(d)(4). All determinations made by the Company’s auditors under this Section 14(d) shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant and shall be made within sixty (60) days of the date when a Payment becomes payable or transferable. As promptly as practicable following such determination and the elections hereunder, the Company shall pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant such amounts as are then due to him or her under the Plan and shall promptly pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant in the future such amounts as become due to him or her under the Plan.

 

(iii)        Except to the extent such payment was made in connection with a Change of Control, as a result of uncertainty in the application of Code Section 280G at the time of an initial determination by the Company’s auditors hereunder, it is possible that Payments will have been made by the Company that should not have been made (an “Overpayment”) or that additional Payments that will not have been made by the Company could have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Company’s auditors, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Participant that the auditors believe has a high probability of success, determine that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Participant which he or she shall repay to the Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in Code Section 7872(f)(2); provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent that such payment would not reduce the amount subject to taxation under Code Section 4999. In the event that the auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in Code Section 7872(f)(2).

 

 B-7  

 

 

(iv)        For purposes of this Section 14(d), the term “Company” shall include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by the auditors in accordance with Code Section 280G(d)(5).

 

15.         STOCK TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS.

 

(a)          Restriction on Transfer of Options. No Option shall be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant, or by the Participant’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the Participant’s incapacity. The Participant may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company, and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company, and any such beneficiary may exercise the Participant’s Option in the event of the Participant’s death to the extent provided herein. If the Participant does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Participant, the legal representative of the Participant may exercise the Option in the event of the Participant’s death to the extent provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award agreement regarding a given Option that the Participant may transfer, without consideration for the transfer, his or her Options to members of his or her immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Option.

 

(b)          Issued Shares. No Issued Shares shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless such transfer is in compliance with the terms of the applicable Award, all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act), and with the terms and conditions of this Section 15. In connection with any proposed transfer, the Committee may require the transferor to provide at the transferor’s own expense an opinion of counsel to the transferor and the Company, satisfactory to the Committee, that such transfer is in compliance with all foreign, federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act). Any attempted disposition of Issued Shares not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 15 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Issued Shares as a result of any such disposition, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such disposition and shall not in any way give effect to any such disposition of Issued Shares.

 

(c)          Legends. The Company may cause a legend or legends to be put on any certificates for shares to make appropriate references to any applicable legal restrictions on transfer.

 

(d)          Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the outstanding Shares of the Company, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of the Company’s stock, the restrictions contained in this Section 15 shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by Participant in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Issued Shares.

 

16.         MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)          Other Terms and Conditions. The grant of any Award under this Plan may also be subject to other provisions (whether or not applicable to the Award awarded to any other Participant) as the Committee determines appropriate, subject to any limitations imposed in the Plan.

 

(b)          Code Section 409A. The provisions of Code Section 409A are incorporated herein by reference to the extent necessary for any Award that is subject to Code Section 409A to comply therewith.

 

(c)          Employment or Service. The issuance of an Award shall not confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continued employment or service with the Company or any Affiliate, or the right to continue as a consultant or director. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, for purposes of the Plan and all Awards, the following rules shall apply:

 

(i)          a Participant who transfers employment between the Company and any Affiliate, or between Affiliates, will not be considered to have terminated employment;

 

(ii)         a Participant who ceases to be a consultant, advisor or non-employee director because he or she becomes an employee of the Company or an Affiliate shall not be considered to have ceased service with respect to any Award until such Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates;

 

(iii)        a Participant who ceases to be employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company and immediately thereafter becomes a non-employee director of the Company or any Affiliate, or a consultant to the Company or any Affiliate, shall not be considered to have terminated employment until such Participant’s service as a director of, or consultant to, the Company and its Affiliates has ceased; and

(iv)        a Participant employed by an Affiliate will be considered to have terminated employment when such entity ceases to be an Affiliate of the Company.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to an Award subject to Code Section 409A, a Participant shall be considered to have terminated employment (where termination of employment triggers payment of the Award) upon the date of his separation from service within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

 

(d)          No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares or other securities may be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan, and the Committee may determine whether cash, other securities or other property will be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or other securities, or whether such fractional Shares or other securities or any rights to fractional Shares or other securities will be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

 

(e)          Unfunded Plan. This Plan is unfunded and does not create, and should not be construed to create, a trust or separate fund with respect to this Plan’s benefits. This Plan does not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant. To the extent any person holds any rights by virtue of an Award granted under this Plan, such rights are no greater than the rights of the Company’s general unsecured creditors.

 

(f)           Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards under this Plan and the issuance of Shares in connection with an Award are subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or any award agreement, the Company has no liability to deliver any Shares under this Plan or make any payment unless such delivery or payment would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity. In such event, the Company may substitute cash for any Share(s) otherwise deliverable hereunder without the consent of the Participant or any other person.

 

(g)          Governing Law. This Plan, and all agreements under this Plan, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to any conflict of law principles. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Plan, any Award or any award agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Plan, any Award or any award agreement, may only be brought and determined in a court sitting in the State of New York, New York County.

 

(h)          Limitations on Actions. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Plan, any Award or any Award agreement, must be brought within one year (365 days) after the day the complaining party first knew or should have known of the events giving rise to the complaint.

 

(i)           Construction. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were used in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and wherever any words are used in the singular or plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply. Titles of sections are for general information only, and the Plan is not to be construed with reference to such titles.

 

(j)           Severability. If any provision of this Plan or any award agreement or any Award (i) is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or (ii) would disqualify this Plan, any award agreement or any Award, then such provision should be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Plan, award agreement or Award, then such provision should be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of this Plan, such award agreement and such Award will remain in full force and effect.
