To the Shareholders of PhotoMedex, Inc.:

 

The annual meeting of the shareholders of PhotoMedex, Inc. (the “ Company ” or the “ Seller ”) will be held on January [*], 2017 at 9:30 a.m. local time at the offices of our counsel, Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11 th Floor, New York, New York 10105. At the special meeting you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals: 

 

1. To elect five (5) director nominees to the Company’s board of directors to serve until the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualify, subject to their prior death, resignation or removal;

 

2. To ratify the appointment of Fahn Kanne & Co. Grant Thornton Israel to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016;

 

3. To authorize the sale by the Company of substantially all of the assets primarily related to or used in the Company’s consumer products division, including its no!no!® hair and skin products and the Kyrobak back pain management products and the shares of capital stock of Radiancy (HK) Limited and LK Technology Importaçăo E Exportaçăo LTDA, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and its subsidiaries Radiancy, Inc., Radiancy (Israel) Limited and PhotoTherapeutics Ltd., and ICTV Brands, Inc. and its subsidiary ICTV Holdings, Inc., dated October 4, 2016, as more fully described in the enclosed proxy statement (the “ Asset Sale Proposal ”).  At the time of voting upon the Asset Sale, shareholders will not know the total definitive amount of consideration that will be received for the Asset Sale due to the uncertainty of the collection of part of the Purchase Price, namely, the $2 million payment collateralized by a third party letter of credit due 90 days after closing and the future $4.5 million royalty payments, as described further in Risk Factors on page 47.  As a result of the Asset Sale, and due to the financial condition of the Company, which has resulted in our inability to timely pay our executive officers and directors, instead of applying all of the proceeds to our operational expenses, the Company will use a total of $3,290,000 of the funds to make payments to certain officers and directors of the Company as follows: Director Lewis C. Pell, $20,000; Director Dr. Yoav Ben-Dror, $525,000; Director Stephen P.

4. To approve an advisory resolution on the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement;

 

5. To vote on whether future advisory votes on the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers should occur every year, every two years or every three years; and

 

6. To approve the adjournment of the annual meeting for any purpose, including to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the annual meeting to approve the proposals described above.

 

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES, “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF OUR AUDITORS, “FOR” THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL, “FOR” THE ADVISORY RESOLUTION ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION, “FOR” HOLDING SUCH ADVISORY VOTE EVERY THREE YEARS, AND “FOR” THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE ANNUAL MEETING.

 

The Board has fixed the close of business on November 30, 2016 as the record date (the “ Record Date ”) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. Accordingly, only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of, and shall be entitled to vote at, the annual meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

 

Your vote is important. You are requested to carefully read the proxy statement and accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting for a more complete statement of matters to be considered at the annual meeting.

 

  Sincerely yours,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND THE PROPOSALS

 

The following are some questions that you, as a shareholder of the Company, may have regarding the Meeting and the proposals and brief answers to such questions. We urge you to carefully read this entire proxy statement, the annexes to this proxy statement and the documents referred to or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement because the information in this section does not provide all the information that may be important to you as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the proposals. See "Where You Can Find More Information."

 

THE ANNUAL MEETING

 

When and where will the Meeting take place?

 

The Meeting will be held on January [*], 2017 at 9:30 a.m. local time at the offices of our counsel, Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11 th Floor, New York, New York 10105.

 

What proposals are the shareholders being asked to consider?

 

At the Meeting, you will be asked to vote upon:

 

1. the election of five (5) director nominees to the Company’s Board to serve until the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualify, subject to their prior death, resignation or removal;

 

2. the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton Israel to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016;

 

3. the Asset Sale;

 

4. Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation;

 

5. the frequency of Advisory Resolutions on Executive Compensation; and

 

6. the adjournment of the Meeting for any purpose, including to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the annual meeting to approve the proposals described above.

 

What are the recommendations of the Board?

 

The Board has approved the five proposals and unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote “FOR” each of director nominees, the Auditor Proposal, the Asset Sale Proposal, the Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation, and the Adjournment Proposal.

 

What is the Record Date for the Meeting?

 

Holders of our common stock as of the close of business on November 30, 2016, the Record Date for the Meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and any postponements or adjournments of the Meeting.

 

Who can vote at the Meeting?

 

Shareholders who owned shares of our common stock on the Record Date may attend and vote at the Meeting. There were [ ] shares of common stock outstanding on the Record Date. All shares of common stock have one vote per share and vote together as a single class.

What is the proxy card?

 

The proxy card enables you to appoint Michele Pupach, our Corporate Counsel and Secretary, as your representative at the Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card as described herein, you are authorizing this person to vote your shares at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, we think that it is a good idea to complete and return your proxy card before the Meeting date just in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to Ms. Pupach’s best judgment.

 

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

 

Most of our stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

 

Stockholder of Record

 

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, you are a “stockholder of record” who may vote at the Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us, by voting online or to vote in person at the Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card or vote online to ensure that your vote is counted.

 

Beneficial Owner

 

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote in person at the Meeting.

 

What is the quorum required for the Meeting?

 

The representation in person or by proxy of holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting.

 

  4  

 

 

Assuming that a quorum is present, what vote is required to approve the proposals to be voted upon at the Meeting?

 

The election of each director nominee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes of the shares cast at the election.

 

The ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton Israel requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a duly called meeting.

 

The approval of the Asset Sale Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

 

The approval of an Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

 

The frequency of Advisory Resolutions on Executive Compensation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

 

The annual meeting may be adjourned by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a duly called meeting.

 

How do I vote?

 

Shareholders have four voting options. You may vote using one of the following methods:

 

· Internet . You can vote over the Internet by accessing the website at www.proxyvote.com, and following the instructions on the website. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day. If you vote over the Internet, do not return your proxy card.

 

· Telephone . If you hold shares directly in your own name and are the holder of record, you can vote by telephone by calling the toll-free number [1-800-690-6903] in the United States, Canada or Puerto Rico on a touch-tone phone. You will then be prompted to enter the control number printed on your proxy card and to follow the subsequent instructions. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day. If, however, you hold the shares through a broker and not in your own name, then follow the specific instructions included in your proxy materials, including the specific phone number to use to vote your shares by phone.

 

· Mail . You can vote by mail by simply completing, signing, dating and mailing your proxy card in the postage-paid envelope included with this proxy statement.

 

· In Person . You may come to the Meeting and cast your vote there. The Board recommends that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the Meeting. If your shares of common stock are held in a stock brokerage account or through a bank, broker or other nominee, or, in other words, in “street name”, and you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you must bring a letter from your bank, broker or nominee identifying you as the beneficial owner of the shares and authorizing you to vote such shares at the Meeting.

 

What are the effects of not voting or abstaining? What are the effects of broker non-votes?

 

If you do not vote by virtue of not being present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

 

Abstentions will be counted for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum, however, they will not be considered in determining the number of votes cast. Accordingly, an abstention will have no effect on the Director Proposal, Auditor Proposal or Adjournment Proposal, but will be treated in the same manner as a vote against the Asset Sale Proposal.

 

  5  

 

 

Broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters. Broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum, however the Director Proposal and the Asset Sale Proposal are “non-routine” matters. Thus, in tabulating the voting result for these proposals, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered votes cast on those proposals.

 

What does it mean if I received more than one proxy card?

 

If your shares are registered differently or in more than one account, you will receive more than one proxy card. Sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

 

What happens if I don’t indicate how to vote my proxy?

 

If you just sign your proxy card without providing further instructions, your shares will be counted as a vote “for” each of the director nominees, the Auditor Proposal, the Asset Sale Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal and a vote “for” for all of the other proposals being placed before our shareholders at the Meeting.

 

What happens if I sell my shares after the record date but before the Meeting?

 

The Record Date for the Meeting is earlier than the date of the Meeting and the date on which the Asset Sale is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares after the Record Date but before the date of the Meeting, you will retain your right to vote at the Meeting (provided that such shares remain outstanding on the date of the Meeting), but you will not have the right to receive consideration from the Asset Sale, if any.

 

What if I change my mind after I return my proxy?

 

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Meeting. You may do this by:

 

· sending a written notice to our corporate Secretary, stating that you would like to revoke your proxy of a particular date;

 

· signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it before the polls close at the Meeting; or

  

· attending the Meeting and voting in person.

 

Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, you must instruct your broker, bank or other nominee that you wish to change your vote by following the procedures on the voting form provided to you by the broker, bank or other nominee. If your shares are held in street name, and you wish to attend and vote at the Meeting, you must bring to the Meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares.

 

Who can help answer my other questions?

 

If you have more questions about the proposals or how to submit your proxy, or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card or voting instructions, please contact PhotoMedex, Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 2300 Computer Drive, Building G, Willow Grove, Pennsylvania 19090, telephone number 215-619-3600.

QUESTIONS PERTAINING SPECIFICALLY TO THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL

 

Why did the Company enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement?

 

The decision by the Board to approve the entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement was based on a careful evaluation of the Company's strategic alternatives following an extensive strategic review process with the assistance of our financial and legal advisors. After considering the Company's strategic alternatives, the opportunities for our Other Businesses and the advice of the Company's financial and legal advisors, the Board determined that the sale of the Radiancy Business pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement was desirable and in the best interests of the Company. See "Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale-Reasons for the Asset Sale."

 

What will happen if the Asset Sale is authorized by our shareholders?

 

If the Asset Sale is authorized by the requisite shareholder vote and the other conditions to the consummation of the Asset Sale are satisfied or waived, we will sell substantially all of our assets primarily related to or used in the Radiancy Business to the Purchaser. At closing of the Asset Sale we will receive $3 million in cash and at or prior to the 90 th day following the closing date, we will receive $2 million in cash. We will also be entitled to $4.5 million in cash in the form of future royalty payments made by the Purchaser relating to the Radiance Business. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale-The Asset Purchase Agreement-Consideration to be Received by PhotoMedex” We would retain certain excluded assets of the Radiancy Business and all of the liabilities associated with the Consumer Products as well as all other debts and liabilities of the Company, including expenses related to our Other Businesses, corporate functions, our remaining senior executives, certain corporate vendors and professional advisors and responsibility for ongoing existing litigation.

 

What will happen if the Asset Sale is not authorized?

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, if we fail to obtain a shareholder vote in favor of the Asset Sale Proposal, the Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated, and, in the event of such termination, the Asset Sale will not occur. As a result, we will likely be unable to pay existing debts and continue operations in the current form, and may be required to seek protection under bankruptcy. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale-The Asset Purchase Agreement-Termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement” and “Risk Factors.”

 

What is the purchase price to be received by the Company?

 

The consideration to be received by the Company in the Asset Sale is $9.5 million in cash payable as follows: (i) at closing of the Asset Sale we will receive $3 million in cash, (ii) at or before the 90 th day following the closing date, we will receive $2 million in cash and (iii) following closing, we will be entitled to receive $4.5 million in cash in the form of future royalty payments made by the Purchaser relating to the Radiance Business. The $2 million payment is to be guaranteed by a letter of credit for the benefit of the Company. However, the letter of credit is only valid until the earlier of 180 days after the letter of credit was issued, or until full payment upon demand and presentation on or after January 3, 2017. Accordingly, if the Asset Sale does not close until April 2017, the letter of credit may no longer be valid at the time that the $2 million payment from the Purchaser is due and we may be unable to collect the $2 million payment for the Asset Sale. Likewise, the final $4.5 million payment will be paid solely on the basis of future royalty payments and is not secured by the Radiancy Business or any other assets. Accordingly, our receipt of the final payment will be contingent upon the Purchaser’s ability to sell the Consumer Products. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale -The Asset Purchase Agreement-Consideration to be Received by PhotoMedex” and “Risk Factors” on page 47 for a discussion of the contingent nature of the $2.0 million and $4.5 million payments.

 

What are the material terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement?

 

In addition to the cash consideration we will receive at the closing of the Asset Sale, the Asset Purchase Agreement contains other important terms and provisions, including our obligation to indemnify the Purchaser from certain damages arising out of the transaction. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale-The Asset Purchase Agreement.”

 

  7  

 

 

What are the Interests of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale?

 

The Asset Sale will constitute a change of control pursuant to certain outstanding employment agreements and under the terms of our outstanding equity incentive plan. As a result, certain officers, directors and employees may receive a substantial tangential benefit from the Asset Sale. Specifically, the following payments may be made from the proceeds of the Asset Sale as from well as from other Company assets:

 

    Lewis C.
Pell
    Dr. Yoav
Ben-Dror
    Stephen P.
Connelly
    Dr. Dan

As noted in Use of Proceeds on page 43, we will use certain portions of the proceeds from the Asset Sale, as well as from other assets of the Company, to satisfy these outstanding liabilities. We will utilize the remaining portions of the proceeds, including parts of the initial $3.0 million cash payment, the second payment of $2.0 million due 90 days after closing, and payments from the $4.5 million in royalty, to expand the Company’s LHE business, address the Company’s outstanding liquidity issues, and explore alternative investments for the Company. Furthermore, as set forth below and in the Risk Factors beginning on page 47, our financial condition as of September 30, 2016 raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going-concern, particularly should the Asset Sale not be completed.

 

Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Mr. Dennis McGrath, our President, Chief Financial Officer and a director, each have employment agreements that provide for a variety of benefits upon a change of control. Upon consummation of the Asset Sale, each of Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath would be permitted to resign for “good reason” and receive the following benefits:

 

•           Receipt of base salary and cash bonuses for the remainder of the term of their respective employment agreements (each of which are effective through December 31, 2018) - See “Proposal 1: Election of Directors - Executive Compensation” for more information;

•           COBRA payments, life insurance payments, and long and short-term disability coverage;

•           full acceleration of their outstanding equity awards (any outstanding options will remain exercisable until the earlier of the 60-month following the change of control or the 12-month anniversary of the respective termination date for each officer, and the option’s expiration date) - See “Proposal 1: Election of Directors - Executive Compensation” for more information;

•           Any other amounts earned, accrued and owing but not yet paid and any benefits accrued and due under any applicable benefit plans and programs. Both Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath have certain bonuses for the years 2015 and 2016 which have been earned, accrued and are owing but have not yet been paid. For the year 2015, Dr. Rafaeli earned a quarterly bonus, each quarter, of $300,000, and Mr. McGrath earned his guaranteed minimum annual bonus of $316,000. As of September 30, 2016, Dr. Rafaeli’s total bonus of $2,400,000 remains accrued but unpaid. As of September 30, 2016, part of Mr. McGrath’s bonus for fiscal year 2015 and the bonus for the first three quarters of 2016, totaling $300,200, remains accrued but unpaid.

  

  8  

 

 

Additionally, upon termination of Dr. Rafaeli's employment for any reason, the Company will pay for his household relocation costs between the U.S. and Israel, all reasonable out of pocket relocation expenses, and the equivalent of economy class airfare tickets for all of his family members from the U.S. to Israel.

 

Additionally, the Asset Sale will constitute a change of control pursuant to our 2005 Incentive Plan. Therefore, upon consummation of the Asset Sale, all outstanding restricted stock awards issued under the 2005 Incentive Plan will immediately vest, including awards of 22,500 shares of restricted stock to Dr. Rafaeli and 16,500 shares of restricted stock to Mr. McGrath.

 

As of September 30, 2016, the following directors fees remained unpaid to the independent members of the board of directors: $20,000 to Lewis C. Pell, $525,000 to Dr. Yoav Ben-Dror, $20,000 to Stephen P. Connelly, and $25,000 to Dr. Dan Amiram..

 

Following the completion of the Asset Sale and receipt of both the $3 million cash upon closing and the $2 million in cash on or before the 90 th day following closing, we anticipate paying the outstanding board fees of $110,000 to the independent members of our board of directors, as well as the outstanding bonuses owed to Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath of $2,400,000 and $300,200, respectively. Furthermore, Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath upon closing of the Asset Sale, will continue to receive their regular salary, bonus and benefit payments on a monthly basis as provided in their employment agreements through December 31, 2018. The independent board members will continue to receive their meeting and committee fees on a prospective basis as set forth in the agreements between the Company and its independent board members.

 

As set forth below and in the Risk Factors beginning on page 47, our financial condition as of September 30, 2016 raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going-concern, particularly should the Asset Sale not be completed.

  

As of September 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $117 million. To date, we have dedicated most of our financial resources to sales and marketing, general and administrative expenses and research and development. Our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2016 were approximately $1.6 million, including restricted cash of approximately $342 thousand. We have historically financed our activities with cash from operations, the private placement of equity and debt securities, borrowings under lines of credit and, in the most recent periods, with sale of certain assets and business units. We will be required to seek additional financing in order to support our operations. We are addressing our liquidity needs by seeking additional funding from lenders as well as selling certain of our product lines to a third party. There are no assurances, however, that we will be able to obtain an adequate level of funding required for the short and long-term support of our operations.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements as reported on our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2016   do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we cannot raise these funds or complete the Asset Sale, we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

 

In light of this uncertainty, and should the Asset Sale not be completed, the payments described above to Dr. Rafaeli, Mr. McGrath and the independent board members will not be paid in full, and the failure to make such payments would constitute, in the case of Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath, a potential breach in their employment agreements with the Company.

How would the proceeds from the Asset Sale be used?

 

As set forth in SUMMARY TERM SHEET RELATED TO THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL on page 42, the proceeds from the Asset Sale will be received by the Company, not our shareholders. The Company will use a portion of the proceeds to pay for transaction costs associated with the Asset Sale, to repay certain indebtedness (including vendor indebtedness related to the Consumer Business), to pay professional fees and for general working capital purposes. The remaining proceeds from the Asset Sale may be used, at the discretion of the Board, to repay other indebtedness, provide liquidity to the Company's shareholders through one or more special dividends or repurchases of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, invest in our Other Businesses, invest in a new business, or a combination thereof.

 

What does the Board recommend regarding the Asset Sale Proposal?

 

Our Board has determined that the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Asset Sale, are desirable to and in the best interests of the Company. This determination was made by a unanimous vote of the members of the Board present at the meeting. Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote  "FOR"  the Asset Sale Proposal.

 

Do I have dissenters' rights in connection with the Asset Sale?

 

Shareholders may vote against the authorization of the Asset Sale Proposal, but under Nevada law dissenters' rights are not provided to shareholders in connection with the Asset Sale because, among other reasons, our common stock was listed on a national securities exchange as of the Record Date for the Meeting.

 

Are there any risks to the Asset Sale?

 

Yes. You should carefully read the section entitled "Risk Factors."

 

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Asset Sale to U.S. shareholders?

 

Our U.S. shareholders will not realize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Asset Sale. See "Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale-U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Asset Sale."

 

When is the closing of the Asset Sale expected to occur?

 

If the Asset Sale is authorized by our shareholders and all conditions to completing the Asset Sale are satisfied or waived prior to such authorization, the closing of the Asset Sale is expected to occur shortly after the Meeting.

A description of each of the proposals is included in this proxy statement. A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement related to the Asset Sale Proposal is attached as  Annex A to this proxy statement.

 

Required Vote

 

Proposal No. 1: The Election of Directors

 

The election of each director nominee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes of the shares cast at the election. For each director nominee, you may vote  "FOR," or  "WITHHOLD" your vote for such nominee.   Failures to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the Director Proposal.

 

Proposal No. 2: The Auditor Proposal

 

The ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton Israel requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a duly called meeting. You may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN." Failures to vote and abstentions will have no effect on the Auditor Proposal. Because the Auditor Proposal is a “routine” matter, brokers may vote on this matter without instruction from the beneficial owner as long as no instruction is given.

 

Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale Proposal

 

The authorization of the Asset Sale Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon. You may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN." Failures to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will all be counted in the same manner as votes "AGAINST" the Asset Sale Proposal.

 

Proposal No. 4: The Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

 

The advisory vote on executive compensation requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon. You may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN." Failures to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will all be counted in the same manner as votes "AGAINST" the Advisory Vote.

 

Proposal No, 5: Frequency of Future Advisory Votes on the Compensation Paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers

 

The approval of an advisory resolution on future advisory votes on the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a duly called meeting on one of the three presented options of a vote every one, two or three years. You may vote for “one year” “two years” “three years” or abstain. Failures to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will all be counted in the same manner as votes for “three years” on the Advisory Vote.

 

Proposal No. 6: The Adjournment Proposal

 

The annual meeting may be adjourned by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a duly called meeting. You may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN." Failures to vote and abstentions will have no effect on the Auditor Proposal. Because the Auditor Proposal is a “routine” matter, brokers may vote on this matter without instruction from the beneficial owner as long as no instruction is given.

 

  12  

 

 

Recommendation of the Board

 

The Board has approved the six proposals and unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote “FOR” each of the director nominees, the Auditor Proposal, the Asset Sale Proposal, the Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation the frequency of Advisory Resolutions on Executive Compensation, and the Adjournment Proposal.

 

Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Shares Entitled to Vote

 

Holders of our common stock as of the close of business on November 30, 2016, the Record Date for the Meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and any postponements or adjournments of the Meeting. On the Record Date there were [ ] shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting and any postponements or adjournments of the Meeting; no other shares of capital stock were outstanding on such date.

 

Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers

 

As of the Record Date our directors and executive officers beneficially held approximately [ ]% in the aggregate of our shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Meeting.

 

Quorum and Voting

 

The presence at a meeting in person or by proxy of the holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of the votes at the Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present at the Meeting. Each share of common stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date is entitled to one vote.

 

Proxies; Revocation of Proxies

 

If you are unable to attend the Meeting, we urge you to submit your proxy by completing and returning the enclosed proxy card or vote your proxy via the Internet or by telephone. If your shares of common stock are held in "street name" (i.e., through a bank, broker or other nominee), you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee that you must follow in order to have your shares voted. If you elect to vote in person at the Meeting and your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you must bring to the Meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee authorizing you to vote your shares of common stock.

 

Unless contrary instructions are indicated on the proxy card, all shares of common stock represented by valid proxies will be voted  "FOR"  each of the director nominees, the Auditor Proposal, the Asset Sale Proposal, the Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation, that such advisory votes should be made every three years, and the Adjournment Proposal and will be voted at the discretion of the persons named as proxies in respect of such other business as may properly be brought before the Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement, our Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting other than the Director Proposal, Auditor Proposal, Asset Sale Proposal, the Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation, that such advisory votes should be made every three years, and the Adjournment Proposal.

 

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Meeting by:

 

  13  

 

 

· giving written, dated notice to the Secretary of the Company stating that you would like to revoke your proxy;

· signing and returning to us in a timely manner another proxy card with a later date;

· voting again at a later time, but prior to the date of the Meeting, via the Internet or telephone;

· if you are a shareholder of record or have a legal proxy from the shareholder of record, attending the Meeting in person and voting by written ballot; or

· if your shares are held in "street name," following the instructions of your bank, broker or other nominee with respect to the revocation of proxies.

 

Simply attending the Meeting will not constitute a revocation of your proxy.

 

Other Business

 

We do not expect that any matter other than the proposals presented in this proxy statement will be brought before the Meeting. However, if other matters incident to the conduct of the Meeting are properly presented at the Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to those matters.

 

Adjournments

 

The Meeting may be adjourned by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the Meeting by the holders of shares entitled to vote. The Meeting may be adjourned for any purpose, including for the purpose of obtaining a quorum or soliciting additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to authorize the Asset Sale or any other proposals, including, without limitation, adjourning the Meeting for the sole purpose of soliciting additional votes as to one proposal while closing the polls and registering the approval of the other proposal. Any adjournment may be made without notice (if a new record date is not fixed for the adjourned meeting), other than by an announcement made at the Meeting of the time, date and place of the adjourned meeting. Any adjournment will allow our shareholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use at the Meeting as adjourned.

 

Broker Non-Votes

 

Broker non-votes occur when a broker holding stock in "street name" does not vote the shares on some or all matters. Brokers are permitted to vote on routine, non-controversial proposals in instances where they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the stock but are not permitted to vote on non-routine matters. Uncast votes on non-routine matters are referred to as "broker non-votes." Because the Director Proposal and Asset Sale Proposal are non-routine matters, shares of our common stock as to which brokers have not received any voting instructions will not be permitted to vote on these proposals.

 

The inspector of elections will treat broker non-votes as shares that are present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. Broker non-votes will not be considered in determining the number of votes cast for each of the director nominees or the Asset Sale Proposal.

 

  14  

 

 

Solicitation of Proxies

 

This proxy solicitation is being made and paid for by the Company on behalf of its Board. In addition, we may retain a third party proxy solicitor for which we may incur fees. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by personal interview, mail, e-mail, telephone, facsimile or other means of communication. These persons will not be paid any additional compensation for their efforts. We will also request brokers and other fiduciaries to forward proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares of our common stock that the brokers and fiduciaries hold of record. Upon request, we will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, we will indemnify our proxy solicitor against any losses arising out of that firm's proxy soliciting services on our behalf.

 

Questions and Additional Information

 

If you have more questions about the Asset Sale Proposal or how to submit your proxy, or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card or voting instructions, please contact PhotoMedex, Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 2300 Computer Drive, Building G, Willow Grove, Pennsylvania 19090, telephone number 215-619-3286.

Proposal No. 1 - Election of Directors

 

These five (5) director nominees, if elected at the Meeting, will hold office until the next annual meeting or until their successors are qualified, subject to their prior death, resignation or removal. There are no family relationships among any of our directors and executive officers. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, shares of common stock represented by properly executed proxies will be voted for the five (5) nominees listed herein below, all of whom are recommended by our Board and who have consented to be named and to serve if elected.

 

In the event that any nominee recommended by the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who is designated by the present board of directors to fill the vacancy. It is not expected that any nominee will be unable or will decline to serve as a director.

 

Our Board knows of no reason why any of the nominees will be unavailable or decline to serve as a director. The information presented below is as of the record date, and is based in part on information furnished by the nominees and in part from our records.

 

The affirmative vote of a plurality of votes of the shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote is required to elect the directors nominated above. That means the five (5) nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other nominees.

 

The slate of nominees to the Board is favored by the Board. The present Board believes that the slate reflects a broad range of experience with regard to financial, investment and regulatory matters and to the various product lines and interests of the Company. Finally, the present Board believes that the slate of directors contains individuals who will be able to assist in the further development of the Company and its product offerings.

 

The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR each director nominee listed below:

 

Lewis C. Pell

 

Dr. Yoav Ben-Dror

 

Dr. Dolev Rafaeli

 

Dennis M. McGrath

 

Stephen P. Connelly

 

Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

 

Our directors currently have terms which will end at our next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualify, subject to their prior death, resignation or removal. Officers serve at the discretion of the Board. There are no family relationships among any of our directors and executive officers. Members of our Board are encouraged to attend meetings of the Board and the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board held twenty-four meetings and executed six unanimous written consents in lieu of a meeting in 2015.

 

  16  

 

 

Our Board currently consists of six directors, Mr. Pell, Dr. Ben-Dror, Dr. Rafaeli, Mr. McGrath, Mr. Connelly and Dr. Dan Amiram. On August 9, 2016, Dr. Amiram notified the Company that he did not intend to stand for re-election. Accordingly, only five directors are to be elected at the Meeting, each to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify.

 

The following sets forth certain biographical information concerning our current directors, director nominee and our executive officers.

 

Name   Position   Age
Lewis C. Pell   Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors   73

Board Leadership Structure

 

In accordance with the provisions of our Bylaws, the total number of directors who may serve on our Board is currently set at a maximum of eight.

 

We choose to separate the position of our Chief Executive Officer from that of our Chairman of the Board. Our Board made this decision based on their belief that an independent Chairman of the Board can act as a balance to the Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as a non-independent director. The Board of Directors also has provided for the post of Vice Chairman, who will fulfill the duties of the Chairman when circumstances preclude the Chairman from fulfilling the duties of the chairmanship.

 

Our Board of Directors administers its risk oversight function as a whole by making risk oversight a matter of collective consideration. While management is responsible for identifying risks, our Board of Directors has charged the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors with evaluating financial and accounting risk, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors with evaluating risks associated with employees and compensation. Investor-related risks are usually addressed by the Board as a whole. We believe an independent Chairman of the Board adds an additional layer of insight to our Board of Directors’ risk oversight process.

 

Compensation, Nominations and Corporate Governance and Audit Committees

 

General .    Our Board of Directors maintains charters for select committees. In addition, our Board of Directors has adopted a written set of corporate governance guidelines and a code of business conduct and ethics and a code of conduct for our chief executive and senior financial officers that generally formalize practices that we already had in place. We have adopted a Code of Ethics on Interactions with Health Care Professionals, an Anti-Fraud Program and a policy for compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. To view the charters of our Audit, Compensation and Nominations and Corporate Governance Committees, Code of Ethics, corporate governance guidelines, codes of conduct and whistle blower policy, please visit our website at www.photomedex.com, under the Corporate Governance section of the Investor Relations page (this website address is not intended to function as a hyperlink and the information contained on our website is not intended to be a part of this proxy statement). In compliance with Nasdaq rules, the majority of our Board of Directors is comprised of independent directors. The Board of Directors determined in 2015 that, except for Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath, who are our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, all current members of the Board of Directors are independent under the revised listing standards of Nasdaq.

 

Compensation Committee .    Our Compensation Committee discharges the Board of Directors’ responsibilities relating to compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, produces an annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in our annual proxy statement and our annual report and provides general oversight of compensation structure. Other specific duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include:

The report of the Compensation Committee for 2015 is presented below.

 

Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee .    Our Board of Directors has established a Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee for the purpose of reviewing all Board of Director-recommended and stockholder-recommended nominees, determining each nominee’s qualifications and making a recommendation to the full Board of Directors as to which persons should be our Board of Directors’ nominees. Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of Messrs. Connelly and Pell and Dr. Amiram. Mr. Connelly serves as the Chairman of the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee held two meeting during 2015 in conjunction with a meeting of the full Board of Directors.

 

The duties and responsibilities of the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee include:

 

· identifying and recommending to our Board of Directors individuals qualified to become members of our Board of Directors;

Our Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee will regularly assess the appropriate size of our Board of Directors and whether any vacancies on the Board of Directors are expected due to retirement or other circumstances. When considering potential director nominees, the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee also considers the candidate’s character, judgment, diversity, age, skills, including financial literacy and experience in the context of the needs of PhotoMedex and of our existing directors. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee also seeks director nominees who are from diverse backgrounds and who possess a range of experiences as well as a reputation for integrity. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee considers all of these factors to ensure that our Board of Directors as a whole possesses a broad range of skills, knowledge and experience useful to the effective oversight and leadership of the Company.

 

Audit Committee .    Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee to assist it in fulfilling its responsibilities for general oversight of the integrity of our consolidated financial statements, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence, the performance of our independent auditors and an internal audit function and risk assessment and risk management.

Our Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and has the requisite accounting or related financial expertise required by applicable Nasdaq rules.

 

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

 

Our Board of Directors has established a process for stockholders to communicate with the Board of Directors or with individual directors. Stockholders who wish to communicate with our Board of Directors or with individual directors should direct written correspondence to Michele Pupach, Corporate Counsel at mpupach@photomedex.com or to the following address (our principal executive offices): Board of Directors, c/o Corporate Secretary, 2300 Computer Drive, Building G, Willow Grove, PA 19090. Any such communication must contain:

 

· a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of our capital stock;

 

· the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder sending such communication; and

 

· the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder.

 

Ms. Pupach or the Corporate Secretary, as the case may be, will forward such communications to our Board of Directors or the specified individual director to whom the communication is directed unless such communication is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate, in which case Ms. Pupach or the Corporate Secretary, as the case may be, has the authority to discard the communication or to take appropriate legal action regarding such communication.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and beneficial holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our equity securities. As of April 7, 2016, we believe, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and representations of these persons that no other reports were filed and that all reports needed to be filed have been filed for the year ended December 31, 2015.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Introduction

 

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes our compensation program and objectives for our Named Executive Officers for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, or fiscal 2015. Our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2015 were Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Dennis M. McGrath, our President and Chief Financial Officer.

 

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving the annual compensation of our Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee is composed solely of directors who are not our current or former employees, and each is independent under the revised listing standards of Nasdaq. Our Board of Directors has delegated to the Compensation Committee the responsibility to review and approve our compensation and benefits plans, programs and policies, including the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our President and Chief Financial Officer as well as middle-level management and other key employees. The Compensation Committee administers all of our executive compensation programs, incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans and provides oversight for all of our other compensation and benefit programs.

 

The key components of the compensation program for our Named Executive Officers are base salary, bonus and long-term incentives, which for fiscal 2015 was granted to the Named Executive Officers in the form of stock options under our 2005 Equity Plan. These components are administered with the goal of providing total compensation that is competitive in the marketplace, recognizes meaningful differences in individual performance and offers the opportunity to earn superior rewards when merited by individual and corporate performance.

 

Objectives of Compensation Program

 

The Compensation Committee governs and administers our compensation plans with the intent to support the achievement of our long-term strategic objectives, to enhance stockholder value, to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified employees by paying them competitively and rewarding them for their own success and ours. Included in this evaluation is an analysis whether the Company’s incentive compensation arrangements, including short-term (annual cash incentive) and long-term (equity awards) components, encourage unnecessary or excessive risks. Although incentive compensation is discretionary, the Compensation Committee typically considers overall performance of the Company when granting cash incentive awards and considers several factors, including each Named Executive Officer’s contributions to the growth of the Company for the benefit of the stockholders when granting incentive equity awards. We have no retirement plans or deferred compensation programs in effect for our Named Executive Officers, except for our 401(k) plan in which our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate and is made generally available to all of our employees. We do not have a specific formula for allocating between cash and non-cash compensation, which has been in the form of stock options and awards of restricted stock.

 

In order to assess whether our compensation program is competitive and effective, the Compensation Committee relies on its own comparative review of peer companies. As an ongoing matter, the Compensation Committee does not regularly engage third-party consultants to advise on our compensation policies. Furthermore, our Compensation Committee does not delegate its responsibilities for reviewing and approving Named Executive Officer compensation.

 

What Our Compensation Program is Designed to Reward

 

The key components of the compensation program for our Named Executive Officers are base salary, bonus and long-term incentives under the 2005 Equity Plan. These components are administered with the goal of providing total compensation that is competitive in the marketplace, recognizes meaningful differences in individual performance and offers the opportunity to earn superior rewards when merited by individual and corporate performance.

 

  24  

 

 

Stock price performance has not been a factor in determining annual compensation insofar as the price of our common stock is subject to a number of factors outside of our control. We have endeavored through grants of stock options to our Named Executive Officers to incentivize individual and team performance by providing a meaningful stake in us that links their compensation to our overall success.

 

Elements of Company’s Compensation Plan and How Each Element Relates to Objectives

 

There are three primary elements in the compensation package of our executive officers: base salary, bonus and long-term incentives. Compensation payable in the event of the termination of an executive’s employment with the Company is a secondary but material element in the package.

 

Base Salaries.     Base salaries for our Named Executive Officers are designed to provide a base pay that is appropriately competitive within the marketplace. As an officer’s level of responsibility increases, a greater proportion of his or her total compensation will be dependent on our financial performance and stock price appreciation rather than base salary. Adjustments to each individual’s base salary are made in connection with annual performance reviews and an assessment of market competitiveness. In fiscal 2015 the base salaries of Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath were $495,000 and $395,000, respectively.

 

Bonus.     Generally, at the outset of a fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes a bonus program for our Named Executive Officers and other managers and key employees eligible to participate in the program. The program is generally based on a financial plan for the fiscal year and other business factors, and certain management objectives that could be updated throughout the year to address and incentivize management relating to changing macro-economic, environmental and business issues. The amount of bonus, if any, hinges on corporate performance, financial condition, and on the performance against management objectives of the participant in the program. A program will typically allow partial or discretionary awards based on an evaluation of the relevant factors. Provision for bonus expense is typically made over the course of a fiscal year. The provision becomes fixed, based on the final review of the Compensation Committee, which is usually made after the financial results of the fiscal year have been reviewed by our independent accountants.

 

On March 10, 2015, Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath entered into new Employment Agreements with the Company; as a result, updated objectives for Mr. McGrath were established by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors that were directly related to Mr. McGrath’s management of the Company’s banking relationships and debt compliance related tasks. Dr. Rafaeli was guaranteed a quarterly cash bonus for each quarter equal to the greater of $300,000 or 1% of the quarterly recognized US GAAP sales reported in the Company's consolidated quarterly financial reports in excess of a target threshold amount set by the compensation committee of the Board. Mr. McGrath was guaranteed an annual minimum bonus for 2015 in an amount not less than $316,000, and was also eligible for additional annual bonus amounts based on the attainment of certain individual and corporate performance goals and targets as determined and set by the Board. All or a portion of such bonuses may be paid in shares of Company stock to the extent mutually agreed by the Board and the executive.

 

For the year 2015, Dr. Rafaeli earned a quarterly bonus, each quarter, of $300,000, and Mr. McGrath earned his guaranteed minimum bonus of $316,000. As of September 30, 2016, Dr. Rafaeli’s total bonuses for the fiscal year 2015 and the first three quarters of 2016 of $2,400,000 remains accrued but unpaid. As of September 30, 2016, part of Mr. McGrath’s bonus for fiscal year 2015 and the bonus for the first three quarters of 2016, totaling $300,200, remains accrued but unpaid.

 

  25  

 

 

Long-Term Incentives.     Grants of stock options and restricted stock awards under our employee stock plans are designed to provide our Named Executive Officers and other managers and key employees with an opportunity to share, along with stockholders, in our long-term performance. Stock option grants or restricted stock awards are generally made annually to all Named Executive Officers, with additional grants being made following a significant change in job responsibility, scope or title or a significant achievement. The size of the grant to each Named Executive Officer is set by the Compensation Committee at a level that is intended to create a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership based upon several factors, including the individual’s current position with us, the individual’s personal performance in recent periods and his or her potential for future responsibility and promotion over the option term, but the Compensation Committee has the flexibility to make adjustments to those factors at its discretion. The Compensation Committee also takes into account the number of unvested stock options and restricted stock awards held by the Named Executive Officer in order to maintain an appropriate level of equity incentive for that individual. The relevant weight given to each of these factors varies from individual to individual.

 

We generally grant stock options with a five-year vesting schedule and 10 year term from the date of grant. The exercise price of options granted is at no less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The options granted to Named Executive Officers as a rule have provisions by which vesting and exercisability are accelerated in the event of a change of control or a termination of employment initiated by us other than for cause. Such provisions are found in Dr. Rafaeli’s and Mr. McGrath’s employment agreements.

 

Similar criteria are applied in making awards of restricted shares of our common stock under the 2005 Equity Plan, but in the case of restricted stock, we base the vesting schedule of the restricted stock on the price performance of our common stock. Such awards generally carry a three-or-four year vesting schedule.

 

Compensation on Termination of Employment or Change of Control.   We have employment agreements with Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath. Each of these agreements provides for severance upon termination of employment, whether in context of a change of control or not. See “Potential Payments on Termination of Employment or Change of Control” below.

 

Perquisites . We provide our Named Executive Officers with certain perquisites that we do not consider to be a significant part of their compensation. Under their employment agreements, we provide Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath with an automobile allowance of $1,000 per month. In addition, we provide Dr. Rafaeli with, and pay all expenses for, a telephone for his residence and he is eligible to receive the equivalent of economy round trip airfare tickets for all of his family members for an annual home leave between the US and Israel.

 

The Company pays the premiums for supplementary life insurance policies for both Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath. Both also receive a matching contribution from the Company to their 401(k) under the Company’s 401(k) Plan which is available to all employees.

 

How Amounts Were Selected for Each Element of an Executive’s Compensation

 

Each executive’s current and prior compensation is considered in setting future compensation. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews from time to time the compensation practices of other companies, particularly our peer companies. To some extent, our compensation plan is based on the market and the companies we compete against for executives. Base salary and the long-term incentives are not set with reference to a formula.

 

  26  

 

 

An executive’s target bonus amount is set by an executive’s employment agreement, which was negotiated at arm’s length. A target bonus, or a portion thereof, is earned, based on fulfillment of conditions, which are set by the Compensation Committee at the outset of a fiscal year.

 

As a general rule, options and restricted stock awards are made after the financial results for the prior year have been audited and reported to our Board of Directors. Grants and awards are valued, and exercise prices are set, as of the date the grant or award is made. Exceptions to the general rule may arise for grants made to recognize a promotion or to address the effect of expiring options. The Compensation Committee may elect to defer a grant until after the Company has made public disclosure of its financial results, typically in a conference call on earnings. In such a case, the exercise price is set at the higher of the closing price on the approval date or the fixed grant date. In these deliberations, the Compensation Committee does not delegate any related function, unless to the Board of Directors as a whole, and the grants or awards made to the Named Executive Officers are valued under the same measurement standards as grants made to other grantees.

 

For fiscal 2014, our Compensation Committee granted restricted stock awards of our common stock of 225,000 and 165,000 to Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath, respectively; the awards were for 45,000 and 33,000 shares, respectively, after giving effect to the Company’s reverse stock split of September 23, 2016. The stock has a par value of $0.01. These ownership interests in our Company are intended to incentivize our Named Executive Officers and align their interests with those of our stockholders. The restricted stock will vest and become exercisable in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant subject to the individuals continued employment with the Company, with accelerated vesting upon a change in control.

 

Accounting and Tax Considerations

 

We have adopted accounting standard, FASB ASC Topic 718 under which, we are required to value stock options granted and restricted stock awarded.

 

Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, there is a limit placed on tax deductions of any publicly-held corporation for individual compensation to certain executives of such corporation (other than its chief financial officer) exceeding $1,000,000 in any taxable year, unless the compensation is performance-based. Compensation resulting from options is indexed as performance-based. To the extent consistent with the objectives of our compensation program, we intend to maximize the deductibility of compensation for tax purposes. The Compensation Committee may however, decide to exceed the tax deductible limits established under Section 162(m) of the Code, when such a decision appears to be warranted based upon competitive and other factors.

Potential Payments on Termination of Employment or Change of Control

 

Potential payments to our Named Executive Officers on termination of employment or upon a change of control of the Company are governed by their respective employment agreements and by the terms of their option agreements and restricted stock agreements or plan document.

 

Pursuant to the terms of their employment agreements as of December 31, 2015, should (1) the Company terminate Dr. Rafaeli’s or Mr. McGrath’s employment without cause, (2) Dr. Rafaeli or Mr. McGrath resign for good reason or (3) the Company fail to renew the applicable employment agreement (in each instance, whether in the context of a change in control or otherwise), then the affected individual would become entitled to the following benefits upon his delivery of an effective release to the Company:

 

(i) Continued payment of his annual base salary in effect at the time of such termination for the remainder of the term of the agreement, payable in installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices based on the terms of the agreement;

 

  29  

 

 

(ii) For Dr. Rafaeli - continued payment of his guaranteed quarterly bonus equal to the greater of $300,000 or 1% of the Company’s sales (calculated as 1% of recognized U.S. GAAP sales reported in our consolidated quarterly financial reports presented to our Board of Directors for the remainder of the term of the agreement; should Dr. Rafaeli no longer be deemed a ‘covered employee’ under the provisions of I.R.C. Section 162(m)(4), then the limitation on the amount of the bonus shall not apply; and a pro-rated annual bonus for the year in which such termination occurs;

 

(iii) continued medical and dental coverage for himself and his eligible dependents for eighteen months following the date of termination or resignation, provided a timely election is made under COBRA provisions;

 

(iv) a monthly cash payment for the remainder of the term of the agreement equal to the premium cost for the long and short-term disability coverage that was in effect under plans of the Company immediately before his termination or resignation;

 

(v) a monthly cash payment for the remainder of the l term of the agreement equal to the premium cost to maintain the individual’s life insurance coverage at the level of coverage in effect at the time of such termination or resignation;

 

(vi) any other amounts earned, accrued and owing but not yet paid for his base salary and/or bonuses and any benefits accrued and due under any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company; and

 

(vii) full acceleration of all outstanding equity awards held by the individual at the time of such termination. Each outstanding option will remain exercisable until the earlier of the 60 th   month following the change of control or until the 12-month anniversary of the date of termination for each of Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath, respectively, and the option’s expiration date.

 

If the Named Executive Officer does not timely execute and deliver a release, then in lieu of the foregoing payments and benefits he will only be entitled to any payments and benefits then available under the Company’s then current severance pay plan or arrangement for employees without delivery of a release.

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, upon termination Dr. Rafaeli's employment for any reason, we will pay for his household relocation costs between the US and Israel and reimburse him for all reasonable out of pocket relocation expenses. Additionally, we will pay for the equivalent of economy class airfare tickets of all family members between the US and Israel.

 

If any of the events set forth in the table below had occurred by September 30, 2016, then we estimate the value of the benefits that would have been triggered and thus accrued to Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath and had the triggering event occurred on September 30, 2016 and they timely delivered a release, would be as set forth below.

(2) Severance based on 2016 salary and pro-rata bonus levels.

Limitation on Directors' Liabilities; Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws designate the relative duties and responsibilities of our officers, establish procedures for actions by directors and stockholders and other items. Our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws also contain extensive indemnification provisions, which will permit us to indemnify our officers and directors to the maximum extent provided by Nevada law. Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation and under Nevada law, our directors are not liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for breaches which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

 

Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance

 

We have obtained directors' and officers' liability insurance, which expires on December 13, 2016. We are required under our indemnification agreements to maintain such insurance for us and members of our Board of Directors. We also provided tail insurance for the directors of Radiancy.

 

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, Director Independence

 

Related Person Transactions

 

We have entered into an indemnification agreement with each of our directors pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify each director against claims brought against them in their capacities as our directors. These indemnification agreements also require us to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for our directors.

 

On December 12, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain investors including three directors, James Sight, Yoav Ben-Dror, and Lewis C. Pell. Mr. Sight purchased 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.19 per share and warrants to purchase 75,000 shares with an exercise price of $2.25 per share. Mr. Ben-Dror purchased 115,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.19 per share and warrants to purchase 57,500 shares with an exercise price of $2.25 per share. Mr. Pell purchased 230,000 shares of common stock at a price of $2.19 per share and 115,000 warrants to purchase 115,000 shares with an exercise price of $2.25 per share. The warrants purchased by all three directors are exercisable beginning on December 12, 2015 until December 12, 2017.

 

On September 23, 2016, the Company effected a one for five reverse stock split. As a result, the shares purchased by Mr. Sight, Dr. Ben-Dror and Mr. Pell have been adjusted to 30,000 shares, 23,000 shares, and 46,000 shares, respectively. The warrants issued to Mr. Sight, Dr. Ben-Dror and Mr. Pell have also been adjusted to 15,000 shares, 11,500 shares, and 23,000 shares, respectively, with a strike price of $11.25 per share.

We believe that all transactions with our affiliates have been entered into on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from independent third parties. We intend that any transactions with officers, directors and 5% or greater stockholders will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from independent third parties and will be approved by a majority of our independent, disinterested directors and will comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and other securities laws and regulations.

 

Director Independence

 

As required under the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, or NASDAQ, listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. Our board of directors consults with internal counsel to ensure that the board’s determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent NASDAQ listing standards, as in effect from time to time. Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and our company, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, the board of directors has affirmatively determined that all of our current directors are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQ listing standards, except for Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath, who are our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, who are not independent directors by virtue of their employment with our company.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

Enclosed is the report of the Audit Committee of the PhotoMedex Board of Directors, which will provide you with useful information regarding the Committee’s work and the issues it considered during the year. The Audit Committee provides direction and assistance to the Board in order to fulfill the Board’s oversight responsibilities regarding financial reporting integrity, assessment of corporate risks and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and related governance and compliance matters.

 

During 2015, we reviewed and advised the Board and the Company on a number of topics, meeting eight times during the year in addition to the usual disclosures on the Committee’s performance of its responsibilities during 2015. And as requested by the Board, we reviewed the Company’s 2015 filings, including its Form 10-K for that year, advising the Board that, taken as a whole, those filings were fair, balanced and understandable, and provide the necessary information for shareholders to assess the Company’s performance and business strategies.

 

Finally, as Chairman of the Audit Committee, I held monthly calls with the partner at our independent auditors, conducting detailed discussions on compliance with the internal control and corporate governance requirements of COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission), as well as the transitional services provided to and by the Company in connection with the various transactions entered into by the Company during 2016.

 

The Audit Committee looks forward to continuing its service to the Company during the upcoming year under a different chairman.

 

Dr. Dan Amiram

Chairman of the Audit Committee

December [ ], 2016

 

MAIN ACTIVITIES

 

During 2016, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements for 2015 with both management and Grant Thornton Israel, our independent auditors. The Audit Committee also discussed with Grant Thornton Israel the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 16, “Communications with Audit Committees.” Finally, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from Grant Thornton Israel as required by the PCAOB’s rules regarding Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence and has discussed with Grant Thornton Israel its independence. Based upon the reports and discussions described above, the Audit Committee, in accordance with its responsibilities, recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors approved, inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

COMPOSITION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

 

The current members of the Audit Committee are:

 

Dr. Dan Amiram;

Dr. Yoav Ben-Dror; and

Mr. Stephen Connelly.

 

  36  

 

 

Dr. Amiram has served as the Chairman of the Audit Committee since October 29, 2015; Dr. Trevor Harris served as the Chairman of the Audit Committee until that time. The Board of Directors determined in 2015 that each member of the Audit Committee satisfies the independence and other composition requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and Nasdaq. Our Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and has the requisite accounting or related financial expertise required by applicable Nasdaq rules.

 

RESPONSIBILITIES

 

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee to assist it in fulfilling its responsibilities for general oversight of the integrity of our consolidated financial statements, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence, the performance of our independent auditors and an internal audit function and risk assessment and risk management.

 

The duties of our Audit Committee include:

· appointing, evaluating and determining the compensation of our independent auditors;
· reviewing and approving the scope of the annual audit, the audit fee and the financial statements;
· reviewing disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting, any internal audit function and corporate policies with respect to financial information;
· reviewing other risks that may have a significant impact on our financial statements;
· preparing the Audit Committee report for inclusion in the annual proxy statement;
· establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting and auditing matters;
· approving all related party transactions, as defined by applicable Nasdaq Rules, to which the Company is a Party; and
· evaluating annually the Audit Committee charter.

 

The Audit Committee works closely with management as well as our independent auditors. The Audit Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from, and receive appropriate funding from us for, outside legal, accounting or other advisors as the Audit Committee deems necessary to carry out its duties.

 

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee that meets the applicable standards of the Commission and Nasdaq.

 

OTHER ACTIVITIES

 

In addition to the main activities above, in its meetings, the Committee covers a number of topics. These include both topics that the Committee considers routinely, especially those subjects relating to the Company’s quarterly results, internal control issues, general accounting policies and reporting to relevant oversight authorities, plus specific topics regarding to the overall control protocols of the Company. The Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer, and the Corporate Counsel, as well as the Company’s external auditors, are invited to attend each meeting, while other members of management and outside consultants attend as requested.

 

  37  

 

 

At every meeting the Committee holds private sessions separately with the external auditor without members of management being present. During the year, the Committee receives reports on financial and control matters from both management and the external auditors. In particular, the Committee has discussed issues regarding accounting policies, practices and procedures and reviewed whistle-blowing reports, audit reviews and reports, and financial reporting analyses. The Committee has assessed the robustness of the provided information and security and risk management measures.

 

During 2015 and 2016, the Committee reviewed the Company’s annual and quarterly reports and accounts with both the external auditor and management. The Committee also requested reports and conducted reviews on those matters it deemed appropriate and received from its external auditors updates on future accounting and reporting changes which could impact the Company. As a result of its work, the Committee has advised the Board of its view that the Annual Report, including the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Company’s performance and business strategies. The Committee has also reviewed the reports of management and its external auditors in respect of the going concern basis of accounting.

 

Internal control

 

As part of its review process during 2015, the Committee received and discussed periodic reports from management and its external auditors on the Company’s business risks and accounting controls, and continued to monitor the required controls for accounting processes put in place by the Company as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

SIGNIFICANT ISSUES

 

The Committee reviewed certain issues that arose during 2015 with management and its external auditors, and considered the following to be significant in relation to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Committee was satisfied with how each of these issues was resolved in the context of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Acquisitions and disposals

 

The Committee discussed with management proposals for certain acquisitions, financing and asset dispositions, and reviewed matters concerning accounting for those items. Among other areas of judgement, the Committee considered the accounting and tax treatment of these transactions and the required provisions and changes to the Company’s financial statements as a result of these transactions.

 

Taxation

 

The Committee reviewed management updates and external auditor assessments on certain tax matters, including the impact of the Company’s default on its credit arrangements and the treatment and recognition of certain tax assets.

 

EXTERNAL AUDITOR

 

During 2016, the Committee evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s external auditor, Grant Thornton Israel, reviewing the management team’s internal analysis of that auditor’s performance as well as its own experience with the external auditor. Following due consideration, the Committee has recommended to the Board that the auditor be reappointed for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Committee is under no contractual or other obligations that would restrict its ability to make a recommendation regarding the appointment of an auditor. The Committee reviews the auditor’s performance each year, taking into account the auditor’s handling of the prior year’s work, the opinions of management and the compliance requirements of relevant legislative, regulatory and professional standards.

 

  38  

 

 

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

 

The Committee has engaged the external auditor to supply certain non-audit services to the Company. This engagement occurred after careful review by the Committee regarding the use of its external auditor for these non-audit services so as to safeguard the auditor’s objectivity and independence. The retention of the external auditor for any non-audit services requires such a review and specific approval by the Committee. Certain non-permitted services which the external auditor may not provide include bookkeeping services, management and recruitment services, legal service and advice, and other expert services unrelated to the audit such as investment advice. Use of the external auditor for certain non-audit services, such as tax return preparation, can be more efficient and beneficial to the Company, because of the external auditor’s knowledge and experience and/or reasons of confidentiality regarding certain transactions. Any such permitted non-audit services must not present a conflict of interest to the external auditor. The Committee periodically reviews management reports on the extent of the permitted non-audit services provided by the external auditor. Certain non-audit services, such as tax return preparation and compliance work, can be contracted without further individual prior approval provided the fee value for each contract does not exceed $100,000. Any other non-audit services must be specifically approved by the Committee prior to the retention of the external auditor for that work. In 2015, the external auditor was mainly contracted to provide permitted non-audit services for tax return preparation and compliance.

Proposal No. 2 - Ratification of Fahn Kanne & Co. Grant Thornton Israel

as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

We first engaged Grant Thornton Israel to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has selected Grant Thornton Israel to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year to be ended December 31, 2016 and has set its compensation for that year. As such, Grant Thornton Israel will, among other things, audit our financial statements and opine on our system of internal controls for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. Representatives of Grant Thornton Israel are expected to be present at the Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

 

Stockholder ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton Israel as our independent registered public accounting firm, and ratification of the authority of the Audit Committee to set the auditors’ compensation, is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise. However, our Board is submitting the selection of Grant Thornton Israel to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of us and our stockholders.

 

We present the following information concerning our relationship with Grant Thornton Israel as background to this proposal.

 

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

 

We engaged Fahn Kanne & Co. Grant Thornton Israel (“Grant Thornton Israel”) as our independent auditors for 2015 and 2014, effective January 1, 2014.

 

The following table shows the fees paid or accrued by us for the audit and other services provided by Grant Thornton Israel for 2015 and 2014:

 

    2015     2014  
Audit Fees (1)   $ 474,500     $ 327,000  
Audit-Related Fees (2)     18,000       18,000  
Tax Fees (3)     313,000       126,000

Engagement of the Independent Auditor . The Audit Committee is responsible for approving every engagement of Grant Thornton Israel to perform audit or non-audit services for us before Grant Thornton Israel is engaged to provide those services. Under applicable Commission rules, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditors in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors’ independence. The Commission’s rules specify the types of non-audit services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the Audit Committee’s responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent auditors.

 

Consistent with the Commission’s rules, the Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to us or any of our subsidiaries. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee and if it does, the decisions of that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

 

The Audit Committee’s pre-approval policy provides as follows:

 

· First, once a year when the base audit engagement is reviewed and approved, management will identify all other services (including fee ranges) for which management knows it will engage Grant Thornton Israel for the next 12 months. Those services typically include quarterly reviews, specified tax matters, certifications to the lenders as required by financing documents, consultation on new accounting and disclosure standards and, in future years, reporting on management’s internal controls assessment.

 

· Second, if any new “unlisted” proposed engagement arises during the year, the engagement will require approval of the Audit Committee.

 

All fees to our independent accounting firms were approved by the Audit Committee.

 

Auditor Selection for Fiscal 2016. The Audit Committee selected Fahn Kanne & Co. Grant Thornton Israel to serve as our independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2016. The Committee’s selection is now being submitted to our shareholders for ratification at our Meeting.

 

Vote Required; Recommendation of our Board of Directors

 

The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote is required to ratify the selection of Grant Thornton Israel.

 

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” ratification of the appointment of Fahn Kanne & Co. Grant Thornton Israel as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2016.

SUMMARY TERM SHEET RELATED TO THE ASSET SALE PROPOSAL

 

This summary highlights information included elsewhere in this proxy statement. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before voting on the Asset Sale. You should read the entire proxy statement carefully, including the annexes attached hereto. For your convenience, we have included cross references to direct you to a more complete description of the topics described in this summary.

 

· Parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement . The sellers consist of the Company, Radiancy, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Radiancy (Israel) Limited, a private corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Radiancy and PhotoTherapeutics Ltd., a private limited company limited by shares, incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Radiancy (Israel) Limited (each of the foregoing entities collectively, the “ Seller ”). The buyer is ICTV Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ ICTV ”), which will be purchasing the Radiancy Business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, ICTV Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (collectively, the “ Purchaser ”). See "Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale-Parties to the Asset Sale."

 

· The Asset Sale . Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Purchaser will acquire substantially all of the assets primarily related to or used in the Radiancy Business for $9.5 million in cash as follows: (i) at closing of the Asset Sale we will receive $3 million in cash, (ii) at or before the 90 th   day following the closing date, we will receive $2 million in cash and (iii) following closing, we will be entitled to receive $4.5 million in cash in the form of future royalty payments made by the Purchaser relating to the Radiance Business. We will retain all of our other assets, including the LHE medical device business of Radiancy, Inc. and the subsidiaries Radiancy, Inc., Radiancy (Israel) Limited, Photo Therapeutics Limited, and Lumiere, Inc., an inactive company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada and wholly-owned by the Company (the “ Other Businesses ”). We will also retain all of the excluded assets described below and all of our other debts and liabilities, including expenses related to the Other Businesses and corporate functions, our remaining senior executives and professional advisors, and responsibility for ongoing litigation matters involving the Company and its subsidiaries. See "Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale - The Asset Purchase Agreement."

 

· Reasons for the Asset Sale.    Our Board considered a number of factors before deciding to enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement, including, among other things, the price to be paid by Purchaser, the strategic and financial benefits that the Asset Sale will provide to the Company, the extensive sale process with respect to the Radiancy Business that led to entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the future business prospects of the Radiancy Business and the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Our Board also considered our current financial condition, including that without an imminent injection of cash, we would likely default on certain outstanding indebtedness that could lead us into bankruptcy or liquidation. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale - Reasons for the Asset Sale” and “Risk Factors.”

 

· Board Recommendation.    Our board of directors has determined by unanimous vote of the directors at a meeting that the Asset Sale Proposal is desirable and has directed that it be submitted to our shareholders for their approval. Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the Asset Sale Proposal. You should read “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale - Reasons for the Asset Sale” for a discussion of factors that our board of directors considered in deciding to recommend the approval of the Asset Sale Proposal.

 

  42  

 

 

· Required Vote.    Approval of the Asset Sale Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

 

· Indemnification of Purchaser.    From and after the closing of the Asset Sale, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the Purchaser and certain of its related parties for any damages arising out of or related to (i) any failure by the Company to perform any of its covenants, (ii) the excluded liabilities and (iii) any breach of the Company's representations and warranties concerning organization, authority and qualification, tax matters, title to the acquired assets or brokers. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale - The Asset Purchase Agreement-Indemnification by PhotoMedex.”

 

  ·

Use of Proceeds.    The proceeds from the Asset Sale will be received by the Company, not our shareholders.  We will use the initial cash proceeds of $3.0 million, plus additional assets of the Company, approximating $10.5 million (as shown in the pro forma illustration table below detailing available assets at closing as derived from our unaudited balance sheet as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for the period ending September 30, 2016), as follows:

 

•          To reserve approximately $1.5 million in cash to satisfy any potential claims for product returns as of September 30, 2016;

•          To pay vendor trade payables as of September 30, 2016 of approximately $4.7 million;

•          To pay the remaining balance of a note payable in the amount of $0.2 million;

•          To pay transaction costs associated with the Asset Sale, including accrued amounts due to professionals in the approximate amount of $0.1 million; and

•          To purchase necessary and requisite insurance policies for the Company at a cost of approximately $0.8 million

 

We intend to use the second cash payment of $2.0 million from ICTV, which is due on or before the 90th day after closing, as follows:

 

•         To satisfy part of the $3.2 million in accrued payroll and compensation costs due to officers of the Company and accrued directors fees of $0.1 million The $2 million payment is to be guaranteed by a letter of credit for the benefit of the Company.  However, the letter of credit is only valid until the earlier of (i) 180 days after the letter of credit was issued or (ii) until full payment upon demand and presentation on or after January 3, 2017.  Accordingly, if the Asset Sale does not close until April 2017, the letter of credit may no longer be valid at the time that the $2 million payment from the Purchaser is due and, as a result, we may be unable to collect the $2 million payment for the Asset Sale.  (Please see “Risk Factors” on page 47 for a discussion of the contingent nature of the $2 million and $4.5 million payments.)

 

After collection of the initial $5 million in cash payments, the Company expects to collect an additional $4.5 million which will be earned through a royalty agreement with ICTV.  Collection of this royalty is contingent upon future sales of the Company’s product portfolio by ICTV and there is no guarantee that we will collect such payments.  Combined with other assets of the Company, including a pending claim for a break fee and legal cost reimbursement in the amount of $3.75 million from DS Healthcare (see “Background of the Asset Sale” on page 53 for further details), these funds will be used as follows:

 

• To invest in our Other Businesses, invest in a new business, or a combination thereof;

• To satisfy the remaining accrued payroll and compensation costs, as described above;

• To pay the approximate $200,000 monthly severance payments which will be due to our officers through December 31, 2018 in accordance with their employment agreements;

• To repay other indebtedness, if any; and

• To provide liquidity to the Company's shareholders through one or more special dividends or repurchases of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

 

Should the Asset Sale not be completed, our financial condition as of September 30, 2016 raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going-concern, as is further described in the Risk Factors section beginning on page 47. The above description of the Use of Proceeds, as well as the pro forma illustration table below, describes how and in what order the obligations of the Company, as derived from our unaudited balance sheet as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for the period ended September 30, 2016, would be fully satisfied. The description above and the table below does not intend to reflect, nor does it reflect, any of the ongoing operating revenues or costs to be incurred in the ordinary course of conducting post-closing business operations and activities including any continuing professional fees required to deal with ongoing litigation matters, the uncertain outcomes of these litigation matters, public company filings, or compensation costs for board of director oversight. To the extent that the Company is unable to collect any portion of the full purchase price for the Asset Sale, particularly the $4.5 million royalty payments for future product sales from ICTV, and/or collect portions of the $3.75 million pending litigation claim from DS Healthcare, certain portions of the obligations due to our affiliates may not be paid in full and, in the case of Dr. Rafeli and Mr. McGrath, the failure to make such payments would constitute a potential breach in their employment agreements with the Company.

· Nature of Our Business Following the Asset Sale.    Following the Asset Sale, the Company will continue to operate the LHE medical device business of Radiancy, Inc., will collect the remaining payments from ICTV under the Letter of Credit and the ongoing royalty payments, will continue to defend and prosecute the existing litigation involving the Company (including the claim by the Company against DS Healthcare relating to a failed acquisition earlier in 2016), and will consider other strategic investments or alternatives for the Company. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale - Activities of PhotoMedex Following the Asset Sale.”

 

The LHE medical device line of professional products is the technology upon which Radiancy, Inc. was founded. Our proprietary LHE® brand technology combines the benefits of direct heat and a full-spectrum light source for a variety of clinical applications, including psoriasis care, acne treatment, skin tightening, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, collagen renewal, vascular and pigmented lesion treatments and hair removal. This technology was originally used primarily in our professional products, including capital equipment sold to physicians and skin care specialists worldwide. The technology was then adapted to our hand-held consumer line of products like no!no! Skin, a medical device for acne. The hand-held product portfolio is included with the assets being sold to ICTV. The professional line of products, however, is not part of the sale to ICTV and will remain with the Company.

 

LHE capitalizes upon the principles of selective photothermolysis, which is a type of photo (or light-based) therapy in which heat is generated using selective absorption of light within the targeted tissue. Selective photothermolysis entails precisely targeting a pigmented tissue or structure with a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed into and limited to the target area of the skin but does not penetrate into surrounding areas. Heat is also produced and directed to the target with minimal effect on surrounding skin.

 

The Company has continued to sell its LHE products, although they have not been the focus of Radiancy’s marketing efforts. However, those products enjoy a positive acceptance by the aesthetic and medical markets to this day and have a significant installed base of units previously sold. Moreover, the market for skin rejuvenation capital equipment, as measured by revenues of competitors selling similar LHE products, has grown substantially over the past five years, both in the number of physicians and skin care specialists seeking to purchase and offer these products to their patients, and in those patients’ utilization of aesthetic skincare treatments to provide optimum health and appearance. We believe that our LHE products are optimally positioned to take advantage of this increased market, so long as we devote sufficient attention and resources to present the LHE products in an optimal light.

 

While there are many phototherapy options available for patients today, including laser and intense pulse light (IPL), we believe that we have optimized the light/heat relationship in our products. Both Laser and IPL treatments filter out the heat given off by their flashes or pulses of light, primarily relying on the light energy to cause a clinical change. We believe that by not using the heat energy as well, laser and IPL technologies must be administered at high densities, which may require skin cooling techniques to protect patients from burns. 

 

  44  

 

 

In contrast, LHE technology was developed with the objective of efficiently using both light and heat energy to provide a greater treatment advantage. In doing so, LHE® brand products can deliver less energy density to the target skin area, which is believed to create a safer, more efficient product. In addition, balancing light and heat enables phototherapy treatments for more sensitive skin types as well as a broader spectrum of hair colors. 

 

As a result of our LHE technology, we have created an LHE® brand professional product line designed for clinical efficacy in a variety of applications, including psoriasis care, acne treatment, skin tightening, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, collagen renewal, vascular and pigmented lesion treatments and hair removal. The competitive advantages LHE products enjoy over the competition include its excellent performance and safety record, low operational costs, ease of operation, versatility and cost flexibility. We believe we have a market opportunity as physicians and skin care providers are seeking a product which offers an efficient and safe product at a lower price point, which we believe our LHE technology provides. In addition, lasers and IPL Technology carry with them an inherent risk of patient burns, and depending upon the conditions being treated, may require longer and more extensive treatment times to effect a result. The Company will refocus its efforts on its LHE products after the closing of the ICTV transaction.

 

Our LHE technology has the potential to increase its presence in the market as a safe and effective device, at a lower purchase price, to treat the same conditions treated by lasers and IPL technologies – a position not currently fulfilled by the existing product offerings in this market. The Company’s intention is to utilize some of the ongoing payments from the royalty stream (as described in Use of Proceeds above) to revitalize this product line, increasing its marketing both domestically and internationally, both through the existing distributor network as well as a future network of dedicated sales representatives. We will also be exploring new offerings in this product line which could satisfy currently-unmet needs in the aesthetic fields. Growing this market will offer several advantages to the Company – re-establishing its place in the medical device treatment field, collecting revenue to offset remaining payment obligations to its executives which would otherwise be satisfied from the royalty stream, and offering an avenue by which to attract additional investments in the Company via new product offerings as a result of future transactions.

 

In the years prior to its merger with PhotoMedex, Radiancy had annual sales in excess of $15 million for sales of its LHE professional medical devices. After its merger with PhotoMedex, Radiancy has principally focused on smaller hand-held devices, rather than capital equipment. PhotoMedex capital equipment sales of LHE were $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 . The LHE technology is as clinically relevant today as when it was initially introduced to the market years ago. To build sales, we need to promote among the worldwide network of dermatology related third-party equipment distributors that our LHE product line is a lower cost alternative to our competitors’ products and yet, despite the lower cost, our LHE product line will produce similar patient outcomes for wellness and beauty.

 

· Conditions to the Asset Sale.    Completion of the Asset Sale requires (1) the approval of the shareholders holding a majority of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, (2) obtaining certain third party consents from some of our landlords and vendors for the assignment of leases and vendor contracts to ICTV and (3) completion of other customary closing conditions in the Asset Purchase Agreement. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale - The Asset Purchase Agreement - Conditions to the Asset Sale.”

 

· Termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement.    The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us or by the Purchaser in certain circumstances, in which case the Asset Sale will not be completed. The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated by mutual written consent of the parties, by Seller or the Purchaser if there has been a material misrepresentation or a breach of any covenant or agreement contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement by the other party if such material misrepresentation or breach has not been promptly cured after at least fourteen (14) day’s written notice by the non-offending party, or by the Seller or by the Purchaser if the other party has not met the conditions to closing contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement by February 1, 2017. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale-The Asset Purchase Agreement-Termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement” and “Termination Fees.”

 

· U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.    Our U.S. shareholders will not realize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Asset Sale. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale - U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Asset Sale.”

 

  45  

 

 

· Risk Factors.    The Asset Sale involves a number of risks, including:

 

o Our financial condition as of September 30, 2016 raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going-concern.
o The announcement and pendency of the Asset Sale, whether or not consummated, may adversely affect our business.
o We cannot be sure if or when the Asset Sale will be completed.
o We cannot predict the timing, amount or nature of any distributions to our shareholders.
o Our executive officers and directors may have interests in the Asset Sale other than, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders generally.
o Because the Radiancy Business represented approximately 89% of our total revenues for fiscal year 2015, our business following the Asset Sale will be substantially different.
o If the Asset Sale disrupts our business operations and prevents us from realizing intended benefits, our business may be harmed and may even force us to cease operations.
o If we fail to complete the Asset Sale, we will likely be unable to pay existing debts and continue operations in the current form, and may be required to seek bankruptcy protection.
o The Asset Sale may not be completed or may be delayed if the conditions to closing are not satisfied or waived.
o The Asset Purchase Agreement limits our ability to pursue alternatives to the Asset Sale.
o Because our business will be smaller following the sale of the Radiancy Business, there is a possibility that our common stock may be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market if we fail to satisfy the continued listing standards of that market.
o We will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements following the closing of the Asset Sale.

RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement, you should carefully consider the following risk factors when deciding whether to vote to approve the Asset Sale Proposal. You should also consider the information in our other reports on file with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement. See "Where You Can Find More Information."

 

Our financial condition as of September 30, 2016 raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going-concern.

  

As of September 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $109 million. To date, we have dedicated most of our financial resources to sales and marketing, general and administrative expenses and research and development. Our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2016 were approximately $1.7 million, including restricted cash of approximately $606 thousand. We have historically financed our activities with cash from operations, the private placement of equity and debt securities, borrowings under lines of credit and in the most recent periods with sale of certain assets and business units. We will be required to obtain additional liquidity resources in order to support its operations. We are addressing our liquidity needs by seeking additional funding from lenders as well as selling certain of its product lines to a third party. There are no assurances, however, that we will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the short and long-term support of its operations.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements as reported on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2016 do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we cannot raise these funds or complete the Asset Sale, we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

 

The announcement and pendency of the Asset Sale, whether or not consummated, may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

The announcement and pendency of the Asset Sale, whether or not consummated, may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, our business or our relationships with customers, suppliers and employees. In addition, while the completion of the Asset Sale is pending we may be unable to attract and retain key personnel and our management's focus and attention and employee resources may be diverted from operational matters.

 

In the event that the Asset Sale is not completed, the announcement of the termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement may also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, our business or our relationships with customers, suppliers and employees. In addition, the failure to complete the Asset Sale could force us into bankruptcy or liquidation.

 

We cannot be sure if or when the Asset Sale will be completed.

 

The consummation of the Asset Sale is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions, including the authorization of the Asset Sale by our shareholders. We cannot guarantee that the closing conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement will be satisfied. If we are unable to satisfy the closing conditions in Purchaser's favor or if other mutual closing conditions are not satisfied, Purchaser will not be obligated to complete the Asset Sale.

 

  47  

 

 

If the Asset Sale is not completed, our Board, in discharging its fiduciary obligations to our shareholders, may evaluate other strategic alternatives that may be available, which alternatives may not be as favorable to our shareholders as the Asset Sale. These may include retaining and operating the Radiancy Business or pursuing an alternate sale transaction that would yield reduced consideration or involve significant delays. Any future sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or other transactions may be subject to further shareholder approval. In addition, the failure to complete the Asset Sale could force us into bankruptcy or liquidation.

 

We cannot predict the timing, amount or nature of any distributions to our shareholders, if any.

 

The proceeds from the Asset Sale will not be distributed to our shareholders and will instead be used by the Company to pay for transaction costs associated with the Asset Sale, to repay certain indebtedness (including vendor indebtedness related to the Consumer Business), to pay professional fees and for general working capital purposes. The remaining proceeds from the Asset Sale may be used, at the discretion of the Board, to repay other indebtedness, provide liquidity to the Company's shareholders through one or more special dividends or repurchases of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, invest in our Other Businesses, invest in a new business, or a combination thereof. Accordingly, our Board is unable to predict the timing, amount or nature of, or the record dates for distributions, if any, to be made to our shareholders. If we are unable to make a distribution of Asset Sale proceeds to our shareholders or our board of directors determines not to make such a distribution, you will only benefit from the Asset Sale if we are able to successfully implement our strategy for our Other Businesses and your stock appreciates in value or we subsequently sell the Company at a price that represents a premium over your basis in our common stock. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale-Activities of PhotoMedex Following the Asset Sale.”

 

There is no assurance that the final $4.5 million of the purchase price will be paid to the Company in the near term or that the payment will be made in full or at all.

 

The consideration for the Asset Sale of $9.5 million in cash to be paid as follows:

  

· Three million dollars ($3,000,000) in immediately available funds will be paid by Purchaser and placed in an escrow account in Purchaser’s counsel’s IOLTA Trust Account to be held by Purchaser’s counsel as escrow agent under an escrow agreement among Seller, Purchaser and certain investors in Purchaser’s securities (the “ Escrow Agreement ”). These funds will be paid to the Company on the closing date of this transaction.

 

· On or before the ninetieth (90th) day following the closing date of this transaction, Purchaser will pay the Company two million dollars ($2,000,000) in immediately available funds (such amount to be guaranteed by a letter of credit for the benefit of the Company made by a third party - See “Risk Factors” below).  However, the letter of credit is only valid until the earlier of 180 days after the letter of credit was issued, or until full payment upon demand and presentation on or after January 3, 2017. Accordingly, if the Asset Sale does not close until April 2017, the letter of credit may no longer be valid at the time that the $2 million payment from the Purchaser is due and we may be unable to collect the $2 million payment for the Asset Sale, in which case the Asset Sale may be terminated and we may be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

 

· The remaining four million five hundred thousand dollars ($4,500,000) will be paid by Purchaser to the Company under a continuing royalty on net cash (invoiced amount less sales refunds, returns, rebates, allowances and similar items) actually received by Purchaser or its affiliates from sales of the Consumer Products commencing with net cash actually received by the Purchaser or its affiliates from and after the closing date of this transaction and continuing until the total royalty paid to the Company reaches that amount. Royalty payments will be made on a monthly basis in arrears within thirty days of each month end. The Company will receive thirty five percent (35%) of net cash actually received by Purchaser through Consumer Products sold through live television promotions less certain deductions and six percent (6%) of all other sales of Consumer Products.

 

  48  

 

 

The final $4.5 million payment will be paid solely on the basis of future royalty payments. Further, the final $4.5 million payment is not secured by the Radiancy Business or any other assets. Accordingly, our receipt of the final payment will be contingent upon the Purchaser’s ability to sell the Consumer Products. If the Purchaser sells the Consumer Products at a slow rate, we may not receive the proceeds from the Asset Sale until a time in the distant future. If the Purchaser is unable to successfully sell the Consumer Products, we may only receive a portion of the proceeds from the Asset Sale or none of the $4.5 million at all.

 

Therefore, at the time of voting upon the Asset Sale, shareholders will not know the definitive amount of consideration that will be received for the Asset Sale due to the uncertainty of the collection of the $2.0 million payment and the $4.5 million royalty payments, as described above.

 

While the $2.0 million portion of the purchase price is guaranteed by a letter of credit issued by a third party for our benefit, the letter of credit may no longer be valid at the closing date and it is not secured by any assets of the Purchaser or the third party issuer.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, a letter of credit was issued for our benefit on the date that the Asset Purchase Agreement was executed. The purpose of the letter of credit is to guarantee the payment by the Purchaser of $2.0 million on or prior to the 90 th day after the closing date. However, the letter of credit is only valid until the earlier of 180 days after the letter of credit was issued or full payment upon demand and presentation on or before January 3, 2017. Accordingly, if the Asset Sale does not close until April 2017, the letter of credit may no longer be valid at the time that the $2.0 million payment from the Purchaser is due. If the letter of credit is no longer valid, we may be unable to collect the $2.0 million payment for the Asset Sale and the Asset Sale may therefore terminate. If we are unable to consummate the Asset Sale we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

 

Our executive officers, directors and employees may have interests in the Asset Sale other than, or in addition to, the interests of our shareholders generally.

 

Members of our Board and our executive officers may have interests in the Asset Sale that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of our shareholders generally. Our Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

Certain of our executive officers have employment agreements or separation agreements that provide for payments and the vesting of equity awards in connection with a “change of control.” Additionally, certain of our directors, officers and employees have received equity awards that provide for full vesting of all unvested equity awards upon a “change of control.” The consummation of the Asset Sale would constitute a “change of control” under these agreements and equity awards. See “Proposal No. 3 - Interests of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale.”

 

Because the Radiancy Business represented approximately 89% of our total revenues for fiscal year 2015, our business following the Asset Sale will be substantially different.

 

The Radiancy Business represented approximately 89% of our total revenues for the fiscal year 2015. Following the consummation of the Asset Sale, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected if we fail to effectively reduce our overhead costs to reflect the reduced scale of our operations or we fail to grow our Other Businesses. Our smaller size may result in the recognition of less revenues from the operations of our Other Businesses, which may negatively affect our overall net earnings.

 

If the Asset Sale disrupts our business operations and prevents us from realizing intended benefits, our business may be harmed.

 

The Asset Sale may disrupt the operation of our business and prevent us from realizing the intended benefits of the Asset Sale as a result of a number of obstacles, such as the loss of key employees, customers or business partners, the failure to adjust or implement our business strategies, additional expenditures required to facilitate the Asset Sale transaction, and the diversion of management's attention from our day-to-day operations.

 

  49  

 

 

The Asset Sale may not be completed or may be delayed if the conditions to closing are not satisfied or waived.

 

The Asset Sale may not be completed or may be delayed because the conditions to closing, including approval of the transaction by our shareholders and consents from certain third parties, may not be satisfied or waived. If the Asset Sale is not completed, we may have difficulty recouping the costs incurred in connection with negotiating the Asset Sale, our relationships with our customers, suppliers and employees may be damaged, and our business may be harmed.

 

If we fail to complete the Asset Sale, our business may be harmed.

 

As a result of our announcement of the Asset Sale, third parties may be unwilling to enter into material agreements with respect to the Radiancy Business or our Other Businesses. New or existing customers and business partners may prefer to enter into agreements with our competitors who have not expressed an intention to sell their business because customers and business partners may perceive that such new relationships are likely to be more stable. Employees working in the Radiancy Business may become concerned about the future of the business and lose focus or seek other employment. If we fail to complete the Asset Sale, the failure to maintain existing business relationships or enter into new ones could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If we fail to complete the Asset Sale, we will also retain and continue to operate the Radiancy Business. The potential for loss or disaffection of employees or customers of the Radiancy Business following a failure to consummate the Asset Sale could have a material, negative impact on the value of our business.

 

In addition, if the Asset Sale is not consummated, our directors, executive officers and other employees will have expended extensive time and effort and will have experienced significant distractions from their work during the pendency of the transaction, and we will have incurred significant third party transaction costs, in each case, without any commensurate benefit, which may have a material and adverse effect on our stock price and results of operations.

 

The Asset Purchase Agreement limits our ability to pursue alternatives to the Asset Sale.

 

While we believe that we have exhausted our options for the sale of the Radiancy Business, the Asset Purchase Agreement does contain provisions that would make it more difficult for us to sell the Radiancy Business to any party other than the Purchaser if such a party was determined to make an offer for the Radiancy Business. These provisions include the prohibition on our ability to solicit competing proposals. See “Proposal No. 3: The Asset Sale-The Asset Purchase Agreement-No Solicitation.” These provisions could make it less advantageous for a third party that might have an interest in acquiring the Company or all of or a significant part of the Radiancy Business to consider or propose an alternative transaction, even if that party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher value than the consideration to be paid by Purchaser.

 

  50  

 

 

Because our business will be smaller following the sale of the Radiancy Business, there is a possibility that our common stock may be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market if we fail to satisfy the continued listing standards of that market.

 

We received notice on November 18, 2016 that we no longer satisfied the $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Following the sale of the Radiancy Business our business will be smaller and, therefore, we may fail to satisfy or regain the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market. In the event that we are unable to satisfy the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted from that market. Any delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market could adversely affect our ability to attract new investors, decrease the liquidity of our outstanding shares of common stock, reduce our flexibility to raise additional capital, reduce the price at which our common stock trades and increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares with overall negative effects for our shareholders. In addition, delisting of our common stock could deter broker-dealers from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our common stock, and might deter certain institutions and persons from investing in our securities at all. For these reasons and others, delisting could adversely affect the price of our common stock and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements following the closing of the Asset Sale.

 

After the Asset Sale, we will continue to be required to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), even though compliance with such reporting requirements is economically burdensome.

Background of the Asset Sale

 

The Board and the Company's senior management have from time to time evaluated and considered a variety of strategic alternatives as part of a long-term strategy to increase shareholder value. Below is a chronology relating to the sale of our consumer products portfolio, particularly the no!no! hair removal brands, marketed by the Company’s subsidiary, Radiancy, Inc. (at times referred to as the Radiancy Business and/or the consumer products business or division).

 

Company Retains Advisors

 

On November 4, 2014, the Company retained Canaccord Genuity, Inc (“ CGI ”) to advise the Board in connection with exploring strategic alternatives for any and all of its business units or the sale of the Company in its entirety. Options considered by the Company included debt financing, acquisition by another company, merger, consolidation, or debt modification with its senior secured lenders at the time.

 

On February 12, 2015, in conjunction with the sale of certain of the Company’s other assets and to supplement the efforts of CGI, the Company hired Nomura Securities, Inc. (“ Nomura ”) to introduce the Company to potential buyers for the Radiancy Business. The investment bank contacted a total of 151 parties, including financial sponsors and strategic parties, for the sale of the Radiancy, Inc. and/or to provide the Company with additional working capital. Of the parties contacted by the bank, 36 parties signed non-disclosure agreements, but the outreach was unsuccessful and no letters of intent were executed. The engagement with Nomura was terminated on June 17, 2015

 

Beginning in 2014 and continuing through our entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company conducted its own search for a buyer of the Radiancy Business. A total of six parties expressed an interest in purchasing the Radiancy Business, as described below.

 

First Consideration – Discussion and Negotiation with Multiple Parties

 

On May 12, 2015, the Company was contacted by Robert Powers, formerly of the investment bank Roth Capital Partners LLC. Mr. Powers is a finder, former investment broker and financial consultant who does not, and did not during any of the transactions discussed herein, have any financial or contractual relationship with the Company whatsoever. Broadly speaking, he represented the interested parties that entered into strategic discussions with the Company. He is an independent third party who has no financial ties to the Company and who has not and will not receive any financial compensation from the Company for providing potential leads on business combinations to the Company. The Company has had a long-standing history with Mr. Powers. He had held several positions with various investment banking firms over the years and, as a sales representative for certain firms, he was a commission representative for bankers who advised the Company on private placements of its securities with institutional and accredited investors. More recently, Mr. Powers held certain advisory roles at times for Mela Sciences, Inc (“ Mela ”) (now known as Strata Skin Science, Inc) in Mela’s acquisition of the Company’s XTRAC business in June 2015. From June 2015 through July 2016, Mr. Powers introduced the Company to a number of parties who were interested in either providing working capital financing for the Company or were interested in acquiring either the Radiancy Business or the Neova skin care business. The discussions resulted in the Company signing non-disclosure agreements with five companies, which included the exchange of a significant amount of due diligence about the Company. None of these efforts led to the Company’s receipt of a letter of intent except for, eventually, a letter received from the Purchaser. Below is the background concerning how the Company’s introduction to the Purchaser came about.

 

On May 26, 2015, Dennis McGrath, President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, received a call from Mr. Powers. Mr. Powers’ purpose was to inquire whether the Company would be interested in meeting with the President of the Purchaser, Mr. Rich Ransom, to explore possible ways for our companies to jointly work together.

 

  53  

 

 

On May 28, 2015, Mesrrs. McGrath, Ransom and Powers had a breakfast meeting at a local Pennsylvania diner to discuss generally ICTV and the Company engaging in merger discussions. That meeting led to the execution of a non-disclosure agreement dated the same day.

 

On June 4 and June 5, 2015, Mr. McGrath and Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, met with the principals of ICTV in the Company’s Orangeburg, New York office to review the Radiancy Business and the ICTV business and to share detailed due diligence materials including detailed financial models, operational metrics, product information (both in the market and in development), patents, trademarks, inventory valuations and tooling equipment, among other materials. Included at the meeting from ICTV was ICTV’s Chief Executive Officer, Kelvin Claney, ICTV’s Chief Financial Officer, Ryan LeBon, and Rich Ransom.

 

Throughout the period from June 2015 through September 2015, members of the Company’s management team held a series of meetings with representatives of DS Healthcare Group, Inc. (“DSKX”) to conduct due diligence and exchange information on their respective business products, corporate structures and management teams, business models and plans for future business development. The discussions included modeling several potential methods by which DSKX and the Company could work together with regard to the Company’s various products, including both the consumer products division of the Radiancy Business and the Neova product line held by another subsidiary of the Company. Those discussions included both the acquisition by DSKX of both business lines as well as the possibility that DSKX would purchase the Company’s subsidiaries outright.

 

On July 2, 2015, Messrs. McGrath, Ransom and LeBon continued their discussions at the Company’s Horsham, Pennsylvania office to review a detailed financial model compiled by Mr. LeBon, which incorporated the combined historical results and a forecast of potential future possibilities and synergies between the companies. Leading up to this in-person meeting were some explanatory telephone calls between the principals to provide clarification of understanding of the relevant due diligence materials underlying the assumptions built into the financial model being compiled by Mr. LeBon.

 

On July 30, 2015, at a regularly scheduled quarterly meeting of the Company’s Board, the Board discussed ICTV as a possible interested party to acquire the Radiancy Business or engage in a possible merger with the Company. The Board was informed that the nature of a potential transaction had not yet developed sufficiently to allow management to propose a structure for the acquisition.

 

Meanwhile, the Company was also contacted by representatives of Viatek Consumer Products Group, Inc., which the Company’s subsidiary, Radiancy, Inc., had sued for patent infringement and violation of various marketing statutes. Viatek was interested in discussing a possible resolution of the suit, including Viatek’s potential acquisition of Radiancy’s consumer products business.

 

On September 21, 2015, Mr. Ransom called Mr. McGrath to inform the Company that ICTV would prefer not to merge the companies, but instead proposed to license the no!no! brand products and pay the Company, through Radiancy, a future royalty for ICTV’s sale of the Radiancy products. ICTV offered no upfront payments for the licensing of the products. As such, the Company determined that such a proposal would not need the Company’s present needs and the the Company informed ICTV that we would not be interested in such a structure – especially considering we were in discussions with other parties at that time (DS Healthcare and Viatek). The Company’s discussions with these two parties were for potential transactions that would involve more definitive cash payments to the Company, rather than a prospective royalty-only transaction.

 

On September 22, 2015, the Company met with principals from a second potential third party purchaser, Viatek, to discuss various topics including the ongoing litigation between the parties, and on September 23, 2015, Viatek executed a non-disclosure agreement for purposes of discussing the possible purchase of the Radiancy Business. The Company provided certain information to Viatek throughout the following months to enable Viatek to evaluate the viability of possible business combinations involving the Company’s consumer products division.

  

On October 2, 2015, the Company was introduced by Mr. Powers to Hawk Capital after Hawk Capital had expressed interest in purchasing the Radiancy Business. After a brief exchange of information, the third party elected not to pursue the purchase of the Radiancy Business due to a lack of management resources.

 

On November 2, 2015, the Company executed a non-disclosure agreement with Femme Pharma, another entity interested in purchasing the Radiancy Business. There were brief discussions with Femme Pharma about the purchase, but discussions did not go further than an introductory meeting with the Femme Pharma’s CEO and a minor exchange of due diligence.

On November 12, 2015, the Company received a letter of intent from Viatek to purchase the Radiancy Business with a proposed purchase price of $12 million.

 

On November 20, 2015, the Company received a letter of intent from DSKX to purchase the Radiancy Business for the proposed purchase price of $24.5 million. That purchase price was represented by a note for $4.5 million as well as the issuance of two million shares of preferred stock in DSKX with a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share, for a total stock value of $20 million. The note was to bear interest at the rate of 3% per annum and was payable as follows: $1.5 million upon the closing of the transaction, $2 million plus accrued interest on September 15, 2016, and the remainder plus accrued interest on the third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Note. DSKX also entered into another merger agreement for the Company’s PhotoMedex Technology, Inc. subsidiary, which primarily sold the Neova skincare line of business. Under that agreement, the Company was to receive 8.75 million shares of DSKX common stock, of which 6.0 million shares would be subject to a make-whole adjustment if those 6.0 million shares were not worth $20.0 million based upon a set calculation as of the first anniversary of the proposed transaction’s closing date. In such circumstance, DSKX would be required to issue an additional number of shares of DSKX common stock so that the value of the Company’s total shares received under the agreement would be worth an aggregate $20.0 million. This adjustment would not apply if the Company received $50.0 million of aggregate net cash proceeds under both the Radiancy and PhotoMedex Technology Merger Agreements.

 

On December 2, 2015, Mr. Ransom, of ICTV, contacted Mr. McGrath to meet at a local Pennsylvania diner to discuss a potential joint venture between our companies. Mr. Ransom proposed that each of ICTV and the Company become an authorized representative and distributor of each other’s products with the purpose of marketing these products into distribution channels that were not currently being sold to by the respective companies. The Company declined to accept this proposal due to the burden of dealing with the logistics of effecting such an agreement and concern for causing confusion in the marketplace.

 

On December 29, 2015, the Company signed a non-disclosure agreement with Aerus Health, a company that was introduced to the Company by Mr. Powers. After two weeks of discussions to purchase the Radiancy Business for $20.0 million in cash, representatives from Aerus Health became unresponsive and have not communicated with the Company since January 15, 2016.

 

On January 16, 2016, Viatek unexpectedly revised its letter of intent to decrease the purchase price to $8.0 million, payable in installments as follows: (i) $2.0 million payable in cash at closing, (ii) a $2.0 million note payable, and (iii) a contingent $4 million royalty payment. Despite the revised letter of intent, Viatek continued throughout the following months to periodically negotiate with the Company in an attempt to lower the purchase price even further. Not having come to an agreement, the Company continued its discussions with Viatek while negotiating with DSKX.

 

DS Healthcare Group, Inc. (“DSKX”) Merger Agreement

 

After extensive negotiations, on February 19, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a series of transactions with DSKX pursuant to which DSKX would become the holding company for Radiancy and another subsidiary of the Company (the “ DSKX Merger Transaction ”). However, shortly thereafter, on March 23, 2016, DSKX filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC reporting that its audit committee, after discussion with its independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DSKX for the two fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015 should no longer be relied upon because of certain errors in such financial statements. As reported in the DSKX’s SEC reports, to the knowledge of DSKX’s audit committee, the facts underlying its conclusion included that revenues recognized related to certain customers of DSKX did not meet revenue recognition criteria in the two fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015. Additionally, certain equity transactions in the two fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015 were not properly recorded in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and also were not properly disclosed. DSKX further reported in its Current Report on Form 8-K that it terminated its president and chairman of its board of directors for violations of his fiduciary duties to DSKX.

 

The Company had not been advised of any of these matters during its negotiations with DSKX or after entering into the DSKX Merger Transaction until the evening of March 21, 2016. After considering what actions to take in light of the situation, on April 12, 2016, the Company sent a Reservation of Rights letter (the “Notice”) to DSKX. The Notice stated that, based upon the disclosures set forth in DSKX’s public filings and press releases, DSKX was in material breach of various representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in the DSKX Merger Transaction agreements. On May 27, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries formally terminated the DSKX Merger Transaction agreements and initiated litigation seeking to recover a termination fee of $3.0 million, an expense reimbursement of up to $750,000 and its liabilities and damages suffered as a result of DSKX’s failures and breaches in connection with each of the transaction documents. As a result of the failure to consummate this transaction and the increased pressure on the Company’s financial condition, the Company began exploring other options to sell certain business lines, including the sale of the Company’s Neova products line which was concluded in September 2016.

 

Viatek Consumer Products Group, Inc. – Signing of Non-Binding Letter of Intent

 

After the termination of the pending merger with DSKX on May 27, 2016, the Company re-initiated transaction discussions with Viatek for the sale of the Company’s consumer products division.   Several proposals were submitted by Viatek with various purchase prices and varying terms consisting of a combination of cash, promissory notes and royalty provisions.  On July 1, 2016, a proposal was submitted for the purchase of the Company’s Consumer Division for $8.0 million that consisted of a small amount of cash, a promissory note and a royalty stream of payments.  On July 21, 2016, another proposal was submitted for $7.0 million that was more heavily weighted toward a royalty stream of payments.  On August 5, 2016, a letter of intent was received from Viatek that was acceptable to the Company for total consideration of $8.0 million that  included $3.0 million in cash, a promissory note for $2.0 million, and a royalty stream of payments totaling $4.0 million.  On September 28, 2016, Viatek modified the total consideration by reducing it to $6.0 million, at which point the Company terminated discussions with Viatek and signed the Asset Purchase Agreement with ICTV Brands, Inc. on October 4, 2016 in the amount of $9.5 million. The details concerning the timeline of negotiations with ICTV follow.

 

ICTV Brands, Inc. – Negotiations Leading to an Asset Purchase Agreement

 

On August 7, 2016, Mr. McGrath was contacted by Mr. Powers inquiring whether the Radiancy Business was still available for sale and, if so, at what price we would consider selling the business. The Company informed Mr. Powers that it was about to enter into a letter of intent for the sale of that business, which had been received two days earlier on August 5, 2016, and the price was in the $8.0 million range with a mix of cash, secured notes and royalty payments, and that the Company would only consider another buyer if the price and terms were superior to that benchmark. That letter of intent we referenced in discussions with Mr. Powers was a proposed revision to the revised letter of intent from Viatek Consumer Products Group, Inc.

 

On August 23, 2016, Mr. McGrath was contacted by Mr. Ransom to inquire about the availability of the Radiancy Business. Mr. McGrath informed Mr. Ransom that the Company had recently entered into a non-binding letter of intent for the sale of the Radiancy Business. Mr. Ransom indicated that, at a recent meeting of the ICTV board of directors, ICTV’s board had proposed to pursue acquisitions and had stated a belief that they had access to external funding to complete a transaction or a series of transactions and indicated that their first priority was to see if they could acquire the Radiancy Business.

 

  55  

 

 

On August 30, 2016, Mr. McGrath met Messrs. Ransom, Claney and LeBon at the Pennsylvania office of ICTV to review certain information about the Company from the information provided by the Company during prior discussions with ICTV and review publicly available information about the Company. Mr. McGrath provided a current update as both parties agreed that the non-disclosure agreement on May 28, 2015 was still effective.

 

On September 8, 2016, ICTV management and board members and Mr. Powers met with Dr. Dolev Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath at the Company’s offices in Orangeburg, New York to discuss the current status of the Radiancy Business and review due diligence materials to affirm certain financial modeling assumptions made by ICTV. ICTV members included Kelvin Claney, Rich Ransom, Ryan LeBon and, for a portion of the meeting, Brian Pessin, a shareholder of ICTV (Mr. Pessin’s wife is a member of ICTV’s board, as well). ICTV verbally discussed the outline of an acquisition of the Radiancy Business, including general terms that would include some parts cash and some parts royalty, but informed the Company that ICTV would need to secure the necessary financing before moving forward, although they believed that the commitments for such financing would be forthcoming.

 

On September 12, 2016, the Company’s principals and ICTV’s principals, along with ICTV’s financial advisor Robert Powers, participated in a conference call with ICTV’s counsel to review a proposed asset purchase agreement (the form of which became the Asset Purchase Agreement). The Company was advised on that call that ICTV’s counsel had obtained from the SEC website a previously used asset purchase agreement for one of the Company’s prior transactions and used that as a template to begin drafting an agreement between our companies. At that point, the Company’s management informed all parties that the only way management would be comfortable receiving a purchase proposal and present it to our Board would be if ICTV’s proposal fulfilled the following components: (a) an acceptable asset purchase agreement that ICTV was prepared to sign and that was superior to the current letter of intent that the Company had in hand, (b) a transitions services agreement that ICTV was prepared to execute, (c) the consent of more than 50% of ICTV’s shareholders to the transaction, and (d) evidence that ICTV had committed funds to close the transaction and fund their continuing working capital requirements. Included on this call was Dr. Rafaeli, Mr. McGrath, Michele Pupach, Esq., in-house counsel for the Company, along with Kelvin Claney, Rich Ransom, and Ryan Lebon, all of ICTV, and Lou Bevilacqua, outside counsel for ICTV.

 

On September 22, 2016, the principals of ICTV and the Company conducted a teleconference to respond to a number of inquiries by ICTV seeking explanation of certain due diligence information shared between August 30, 2016 and September 22, 2016. Dr. Rafaeli, Mr. McGrath and Ms. Pupach from the Company and Messrs. Claney, Ransom and LeBon from ICTV joined this call.

 

On September 23, 2016, the Company received a preliminary draft of the asset purchase agreement from ICTV’s counsel. The Company and ICTV principals provided comments on each turn of the document resulting in a final agreed upon Asset Purchase Agreement, which was executed by all parties on October 4, 2016. That execution followed the October 3, 2016 signing of a general release with Viatek, which both ended the litigation between Viatek and the Company’s subsidiary, Radiancy, Inc., and also ended the non-binding letter of intent under which Viatek proposed to acquire the consumer products business of the Company.

 

Reasons for the Asset Sale.     

 

The decision by the Board to approve the entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement with ICTV was based on a careful evaluation of the Company's strategic alternatives following an extensive strategic review process with the assistance of our financial and legal advisors. After considering the Company's strategic alternatives, the opportunities for our other businesses that would remain following the sale of the Consumer Business, and taking into account the advice of the Company's financial and legal advisors, the Board determined that the sale of the Radiancy Business pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement was desirable and in the best interests of the Company.

 

Our Board considered a number of factors before deciding to enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement, including, among other things, the price to be paid by the Purchaser, the strategic and financial benefits that the Asset Sale will provide to the Company, the Company’s extensive search process with respect to the sale of the Radiancy Business that led the Company to enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the future business prospects of the Radiancy Business and the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Our Board also considered the Company’s current financial condition, including that without an imminent injection of cash, we would likely default on certain outstanding indebtedness that could lead to the Company’s bankruptcy or liquidation.

 

    56  

 

 

Ultimately for the Board of Directors, the Asset Sale to ICTV represented the only deal available to the company that would likely close in a timely manner and provide the cash to achieve the following considerations and objectives:

 

The sale to ICTV would provide cash to the Company by which to pay outstanding debts to vendors and creditors.

 

In the process of locating buyers for the assets or finding alternative sources of financing, the management and board members agreed to forebear on employment and board related payments – to allow the company to survive.

 

While there were certain outstanding payments that are due to the Board, those payments were not a material concern to the Board during its review as the Board was seeking the best option it could find for the Company at that time.

 

A primary consideration for the board was the ability to resolve the outstanding payables to the Company’s trade creditors, while

 

allowing the Company space to begin marketing its remaining LHE business line, and
providing a clear path to enter into possible strategic transactions with regard to the Company, thus
allowing the Company to resume growth and provide some return to its shareholders.

 

Absent the completion of this transaction, the Board believed that PhotoMedex would have little recourse but to enter into a restructuring through bankruptcy.

 

The Board believed that entering into bankruptcy would likely reduce shareholder value significantly and result in vendors and other creditors of the Company receiveing little return on their debts.

 

As a result, the Board believes that the sale of the consumer products division to ICTV is to the benefit of the company as the sale will allow the Company to continue its existence, satisfy its debts, and explore methods of increasing investment return to its shareholders.

 

PhotoMedex has been engaged in an exhaustive and multi-pronged effort for the past two and a half years to sell its consumer products division, either as an individual asset sale or through the sale of the subsidiary owning the Radiancy, Inc. division.

 

Following the purchase of the LCA group, PhotoMedex defaulted upon its credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JP Morgan Chase in May 2014. At the time of the default, the entire $85 million credit arrangement under the Credit Agreement was outstanding. As a result of that default, and as a condition of the forbearance agreements that we had entered into with the Bank, the Company began marketing its various product divisions, both as independent offerings and as components in the overall sale of PhotoMedex itself, to numerous entities in order to obtain the funds to repay that Credit Agreement. The entire $85 million, plus applicable interest, was repaid in full to JP Morgan Chase in June 2015 following the sale of the Company’s LCA and XTRAC product divisions.

 

Beginning in mid-2014, PhotoMedex contracted with two investment banks (Canaccord Genuity, LLC and Nomura Securities, Inc.) to sell one, several or all of its product divisions and the Company itself. Through this process, the banks contacted a total of 151 parties including financial sponsors and strategic parties for the Radiancy Business and/or parties who could provide incremental working capital to the Company. This process yielded 36 interested parties that signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), and, subsequently, conducted a due diligence investigation of this division, including meetings with management, facility visits, and document review through a data room. None of these parties submitted Letters of Interest (LOI) for the purchase of the division.

 

  57  

 

 

While other sales of the LCA and XTRAC divisions were concluded and were monetarily sufficient to pay off in full the defaulted Credit Agreement, PhotoMedex’s overall finances had been negatively affected as a result of the default and the resulting prolonged forbearance workout process.

 

In the middle of 2015, after failing to locate a buyer for the consumer division, PhotoMedex terminated its engagement with Nomura as an investment bank. In light of its ongoing financial constraints, PhotoMedex engaged in short term lending facilities and continued to explore avenues to sell one or more of its business lines in order to raise needed capital for the Company. In particular, PhotoMedex made multiple attempts to market and sell the consumer products division. Following the termination of Nomura as an investment advisor, Photomedex maintained an active data room and entertained several entities that signed NDAs including Hawk Capital, Femme Pharma, Aerus Health, and the three entities which indicated interest in purchasing the consumer division and ultimately provided Letters of Intent: DS Healthcare, Viatek Consumer Products Group, Inc., and ICTV Brands, Inc.

 

In May 2015, the Company was introduced to the principals of DS Healthcare which led to our mutual companies entering into a series of agreements by which DS Healthcare would purchase not just the consumer products division, but Radiancy, Inc. itself, another subsidiary, PhotoMedex Technology, Inc. including its Neova skincare product line, as well as ancillary foreign subsidiaries and assets. However, as disclosed in the Company’s previous filings under Forms 8-K, 10-K and 10-Q, DS Healthcare had withheld material information from PhotoMedex during those negotiations, information which became public after the signing of the agreements to sell those assets and the public disclosure of the proposed transaction. That information resulted in a breach by DS Healthcare of the signed agreements and the resulting cancellation of the transaction with that company.

 

PhotoMedex then attempted to contact other parties who had, in the past, expressed an interest in purchasing the division, but at this time those parties were no longer interested in obtaining this product group. The only parties who expressed interest were Viatek Consumer Products Group, Inc., and ICTV Brands, Inc.

 

Viatek’s interest was in part an interest in the business and in part an attempt to settle ongoing patent infringement and commercial litigation between Radiancy, Inc. and Viatek. PhotoMedex entered into due diligence and negotiations with Viatek, as described in Background of the Asset Sale beginning on page 53. While Viatek provided an initial LOI, it then immediately began attempting to re-negotiate the deal, continually trying to lower the purchase price and more particularly, lower the guaranteed cash portion of the transaction.

 

PhotoMedex was also engaged in discussions with ICTV Brands. Its initial offer with regard to the consumer products division was not a purchase, per se, but rather a licensing agreement for the products of that division which would contain no specific guarantees with regard to payments to be received by the Company. As a result, at the time, PhotoMedex favored the Viatek transaction, both because it did provide some level of guaranteed cash payments and because it would also resolve longstanding litigation between the parties.

 

However, Viatek’s continuous attempts to lower the purchase price and the amount of guaranteed cash to be paid was a cause for concern by the board of PhotoMedex, particularly in light of Viatek’s past history of walking away from financial transactions. Under the terms of the Viatek LOI, PhotoMedex had agreed to a no-shop provision, and while that agreement was in force, the Company was restricted from seeking alternative buyers. At the time the board was re-evaluating the Viatek transaction, and attempting to reach an agreement with Viatek to terminate the LOI and settle the patent litigation, ICTV returned with a structured proposal to purchase the consumer products division in its entirety, with a guaranteed cash payment, a second payment guaranteed by a Letter of Credit, and then a royalty payment based upon future revenue streams.

 

The board reviewed and compared the two transactions. Given that the ICTV Brands offer provided a final negotiated asset purchase agreement, guaranteed a higher cash payment and a longer-term royalty and thus a higher return to the Company, versus Viatek’s continued attempts to lower the transaction price while eliminating the upfront cash payment, the board determined that the ICTV Brands offer was a superior offer for the consumer products division.

 

  58  

 

 

Moreover, while the ICTV price was lower than that offered by DS Healthcare, the DS Healthcare offer was an all-stock deal which, if converted at the last traded price for DS Healthcare’s stock ($0.66/share) it would be equal to or lower than the ICTV cash offer. At that time, there were no other offers for the product line, despite repeated and multiple attempts to market the line to other parties over the preceding two years. The DS Healthcare transaction had been terminated. DS Healthcare was not, at that time and to this day, in a legal or financial condition to close the transaction, given that it was not in compliance with its filings before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and that its finances and stock price had materially suffered as a result of the events involving its board and executive officers. The only other offer on the table for the division was from a company, Viatek, which had already lowered its offer multiple times and was, at the time PhotoMedex received the offer from ICTV, attempting to lower its offer yet again and to remove any guaranteed cash payments from the offer.

 

The board recommended the sale of the division for several reasons. The sale to ICTV would provide cash to the Company with which to pay outstanding debts to vendors and creditors. In the process of locating buyers for the assets or finding alternative sources of financing, the management and board members agreed to forebear on employment and board related payments – to allow the company to survive. While there were certain outstanding payments that are due to the board, those payments were not a material concern to the board during its review. What was of greater concern was the ability to resolve the outstanding payables to the Company’s trade creditors, which would allow the Company space to begin marketing its remaining LHE business line, and also offer a clear path to enter into possible strategic transactions with regard to the Company, thus allowing the Company to resume its growth and provide some return to its shareholders. Absent completion of this transaction, PhotoMedex would have no recourse but to enter into a restructuring through bankruptcy, which would wipe out all shareholder value and guarantee that the shareholders, vendors and other creditors of the Company would receive little to no value on their debts and investments. As a result, the board does not believe there are any negative factors with regard to the sale of the consumer products division to ICTV, as the sale will allow the Company to continue its existence, satisfy its debts, and to explore methods of increasing the investment return to its shareholders.

 

If the Asset Sale is authorized by the requisite shareholder vote and the other conditions to the consummation of the Asset Sale are satisfied or waived, the Company will sell substantially all of our assets related to or used in the Radiancy Business to the Purchaser. We will receive $3.0 million in cash at the closing of the Asset Sale and, at or prior to the 90 th day following the closing date, we will receive another $2.0 million in cash, which payment is contingent upon certain conditions being met (please see “Risk Factors” above as well as the Asset Purchase Agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto, for a full discussion of such contingencies). We will also be entitled to $4.5 million in cash in the form of future royalty payments made by the Purchaser relating to the Radiance Business, which payments are contingent on the Purchaser’s successful sale of the Radiancy products.

 

Following the closing of the Asset Sale, we will retain certain excluded assets of the Radiancy Business and all of the liabilities associated with the Consumer Products division, as well as all other debts and liabilities of the Company, which includes expenses related to our Other Businesses, corporate functions, payroll and obligations owed to our remaining senior executives, debt owed to certain corporate vendors and professional advisors and responsibility for ongoing existing litigation.

 

However, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, if we fail to obtain shareholder approval of the Asset Sale Proposal, the Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated, and, in the event of such termination, the Asset Sale will not occur. As a result, we will likely be unable to pay existing debts and continue operations in their current form, and we may be required to seek bankruptcy protection or liquidation.

 

Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

 

The Board has determined that the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Asset Sale, are desirable and in the best interests of the Company. This determination was made by a unanimous vote of the members of the Board. The Board unanimously recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the authorization of the Asset Sale Proposal.

 

  59  

 

 

Activities of PhotoMedex Following the Asset Sale

 

Following the Asset Sale, the Company will continue to operate the LHE medical device business of Radiancy, Inc., will collect the remaining payments, if any, from ICTV under the Letter of Credit, as well as any ongoing royalty payments. We will also continue to defend and prosecute the existing litigation involving the Company (including the claim by the Company against DS Healthcare regarding the failed acquisition earlier in 2016), and will consider other strategic investments or alternatives for the Company.

 

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Asset Sale

 

The following discussion is a general summary of the anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Asset Sale. This summary is based upon existing United States federal tax law, which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. No ruling has been sought from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") with respect to any United States federal income tax consequences described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. In addition, this summary does not discuss any non-United States, alternative minimum tax, state or local tax considerations.

 

The proposed Asset Sale by us is entirely a corporate action. Our U.S. shareholders will not realize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Asset Sale.

 

The proposed Asset Sale will be treated as a sale of corporate assets in exchange for cash. The proposed Asset Sale is a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we anticipate that we will realize a gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Asset Sale. However, if we realize any gain as a result of the Asset Sale, we anticipate that our tax attributes, including our net operating loss carry forwards, will be available to offset all or a portion of our U.S. federal income tax liability resulting from such gain. The determination of whether we will realize gain or loss on the Asset Sale and whether and to what extent our tax attributes will be available is highly complex and is based in part upon facts that will not be known until the completion of the Asset Sale. Therefore, it is possible that we will incur a U.S. federal income tax liability as a result of the proposed Asset Sale.

 

Accounting Treatment of the Asset Sale

 

The Asset Sale will be accounted for as a "sale" by the Company, as that term is used under generally accepted accounting principles, for accounting and financial reporting purposes.

 

Potential Delisting

 

On November 18, 2016, PhotoMedex, Inc. (the “Company”) (NasdaqGS and TASE: PHMD) received written notification (the “Notice”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) that the Company’s stockholder equity reported on its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2016 had fallen below the minimum requirement of $2.5 million, and that the Company is therefore not in compliance with the requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1). The Notice provides the Company with a period of 45 calendar days, or until January 2, 2017, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the listing rules. If the Company’s plan is accepted, NASDAQ may grant an extension of up to 180 days from the date of notice in which to regain compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance, the Company expects that NASDAQ would provide notice that its securities are subject to delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market. Because our business will be smaller following the sale of the Radiancy Business, there is a possibility that our common stock may be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market if we fail to satisfy the continued listing standards of that market.

 

No Dissenters' Rights

 

Shareholders may vote against the authorization of the Asset Sale Proposal, but under Nevada law dissenters' rights are not provided to shareholders in connection with the Asset Sale.

 

Interests of Certain Persons in the Asset Sale

 

The Asset Sale will constitute a change of control pursuant to certain outstanding employment agreements and our outstanding equity incentive plan. As a result, certain officers, directors and employees may receive a substantial tangential benefit from the Asset Sale. Specifically, Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Mr. Dennis McGrath, our President, Chief Financial Officer and a director, each have employment agreements that provide for a variety of benefits upon a change of control, and the board of directors will also receive unpaid but accrued directors’ fees as identified in the Use of Proceeds on page 43. Upon consummation of the Asset Sale, each of Dr. Rafaeli and Mr. McGrath would be permitted to resign for “good reason” and receive the following benefits:

 

  60  

 

 

· Receipt of their base salary and cash bonuses for the remainder of the term of their employment agreements (each of which are effective through December 31, 2018) - See “Proposal 1: Election of Directors - Executive Compensation” for more information;

 

· COBRA payments, life insurance payments, and long and short-term disability coverage;

 

· full acceleration of their outstanding equity awards (any outstanding options will remain exercisable until the earlier of the 60-month, or 12-month, anniversary of the respective termination date for each officer, and the option’s expiration date) - See “Proposal 1: Election of Directors - Executive Compensation” for more information;

 

· Any other amounts earned, accrued and owing but not yet paid and any benefits accrued and due under any applicable benefit plans and programs.

 

Additionally, upon termination Dr. Rafaeli's employment for any reason, the Company will pay for his household relocation costs between the U.S. and Israel, all reasonable out of pocket relocation expenses, and the equivalent of economy class airfare tickets of all family members between the U.S. and Israel.

 

The Asset Sale also will constitute a change of control pursuant to our 2005 Incentive Plan. Therefore, upon consummation of the Asset Sale, all outstanding restricted stock awards issued under the plan will immediately vest.

 

In addition, our directors are subject to benefit from the Asset Sale as they are due an aggregate of $590,000 in unpaid compensation. Upon consummation of the sale, and upon receipt of the second payment of $2.0 million, we will likely satisfy at least a portion of the director’s unpaid compensation.

The Asset Sale

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, including the satisfaction of the closing conditions, the Purchaser will purchase substantially all of the assets of the Company's Radiancy Business.

Selected Financial Data

 

You should read the following selected historical consolidated financial data in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of PhotoMedex as of December 31, 2015 as filed in the Company’s Annual Report (Form 10-K) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which is enclosed with this proxy, and the consolidated financial statements of PhotoMedex as of December 31, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and the Company’s Quarterly Reports (Form 10-Q) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, which are available on the Company’s website, www.photomedex.com , in the Company’s Annual Reports (Forms 10-K) and Quarterly Reports (Forms 10-Q) pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as filed for the relevant periods. The selected historical consolidated statements of operations data for the five-year period ended December 31, 2015 and the selected historical consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of PhotoMedex. The selected historical consolidated statement of operations data for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the selected historical consolidated balance sheet data as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 have been derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PhotoMedex. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which PhotoMedex considers necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth therein. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ended December 31, 2016.

 

As set forth below and in the Risk Factors beginning on page 47, our financial condition as of September 30, 2016 raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going-concern, particularly should the Asset Sale not be completed.

  

As of September 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $117 million. To date, we have dedicated most of our financial resources to sales and marketing, general and administrative expenses, and research and development. Our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2016 were approximately $1.6 million, including restricted cash of approximately $342,000. We have historically financed our activities with cash from operations, the private placement of equity and debt securities, borrowings under lines of credit and in the most recent periods with sale of certain assets and business units. We will be required to obtain additional liquidity resources in order to support its operations. We are addressing our liquidity needs by seeking additional funding from lenders as well as selling certain of our product lines to a third party. There are no assurances, however, that we will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the short and long-term support of our operations.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements as reported on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2016   do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we cannot raise these funds or complete the Asset Sale, we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. See Note 1, “The Company: Liquidity and Going Concern” in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2016 for more information.

 

On September 23, 2016, the Company affected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, which we refer to herein as the “reverse split.”  Our authorized common stock and the par value of our common stock were not impacted by the reverse split.  Any reference in this proxy statement to our capitalization and other matters pertaining to our common stock, relate to our capitalization and common stock after giving effect to the reverse split. See Item 1-A Risk Factors, “Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing” in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2016 for more information.

Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Data

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data are presented to illustrate the effect of PhotoMedex, Inc.’s pending transaction with ICTV Brands, Inc. for the sale of PhotoMedex’s consumer division. The consideration consists of $5.0 million in cash, of which $3.0 million is due at closing and $2.0 million is due 90 days after closing, plus $4.5 million in royalty payments against future sales by the acquirer of the PhotoMedex product portfolio.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of September 30, 2016 is presented as if the transaction had occurred on September 30, 2016. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are presented as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2015. In order to derive the pro forma consolidated balance sheet data, the historical consolidated results of the Company have been adjusted to eliminate the assets and liabilities attributable to the Division that are part of the sale transaction with ICTV Brands, Inc. For pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations data, the historical results have been adjusted by eliminating the results of the operations of the Division.

 

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances; however, the actual results could differ. The pro forma adjustments are directly attributable to the transaction and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of operations of the Company. Management believes that all adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been made. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have resulted had the transaction been consummated on the dates indicated, and should not be construed as being representative of the Company's future results of operations or financial position. The Division's assets, liabilities and results of operations presented herein were derived from the Division's historical financial statements, not included in this proxy.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statement data should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL NO. 4 - ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we are seeking non-binding, advisory stockholder approval of the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. The proposal, commonly known as a “say on parachute” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, Dr. Dolev Rafaeli, Chief Executive Officer, and Dennis M. McGrath, President and Chief Financial Officer. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers and the compensation philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. The terms of the compensation are described in this proxy statement in the tables and narratives of the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of Proposal No. 1 above.

 

Also, see the table below for amounts due to our executives in the event of the termination of their employment resulting in “Golden Parachute” payments:

 

Golden Parachute Compensation

 

    Cash     Equity     Pension/     Perquisites/     Tax     Other     Total  
Name   ($)     ($)     NQDC     benefits     reimbursement     ($) 1     ($)  
                ($)     ($)     ($)              
                                           
Dr. Dolev Rafaeli   $ 4,115,750     $ 71,719     $ -     $ 70,750     $ -     $ 25,000     $ 4,283,219  
                                                         
Dennis McGrath   $ 1,899,950     $ 52,994     $ -     $ 67,148     $ -     $ -     $ 2,020,092  

 

Upon termination of Dr. Rafaeli's employment for any reason, the Company will pay for his household relocation costs between the U.S. and Israel, all reasonable out of pocket relocation expenses, and the equivalent of economy class airfare tickets for all of his family members from the U.S. to Israel, estimated for purposes of this calculation at $25,000.

 

Our executive compensation programs are designed to encourage our executives to explore product development, business strategies and strategic alliances and transactions that maximize Company value for our stockholders. The PhotoMedex Board of Directors believes that these compensation programs have led to substantial value creation with respect to the Company by encouraging our Named Executive Officers to use their best efforts in support of the development of new and innovative products and the formation of strategic business associations.

 

Because the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature only, it will not be binding on PhotoMedex regardless of whether or not this proposal is approved by the stockholders. The compensation is contractual between PhotoMedex and each of its Named Executive Officers. Thus, regardless of the outcome of this advisory vote, such compensation will be payable, subject only to the conditions applicable to each portion of the compensation. However, the Board, the Compensation Committee and the Company’s executive officers greatly value the opinions of the Company’s shareholders. The Board and its Compensation Committee will consider the voting results, along with other relevant factors, in connection with their ongoing evaluation of the Company’s compensation programs.  Accordingly, the Board asks the Company’s stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the annual meeting:

 

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of Proposal No. 1 of this Proxy Statement.”

 

This proposal is provided as required pursuant to Rule 14a-21(g) of the Exchange Act. The vote on the compensation is only advisory, and is not binding on PhotoMedex, the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors.

 

  74  

 

 

Vote Required; Recommendation of the Board of Directors

 

The approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the PhotoMedex shares present in person or represented by proxy at a duly called meeting.

 

The PhotoMedex board of directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of the advisory resolution on the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers.

 

  75  

 

 

PROPOSAL NO. 5 - FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

In Proposal Number 4 above, stockholders are asked to vote on an advisory resolution approving compensation paid to Named Executive Officers of the Company.  Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is requesting that its stockholders determine whether future advisory votes on such compensation paid to Named Executive Officers should occur every year, every two years or every three years. Stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years or abstain.

 

Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation on this proposal. This advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes on compensation is non-binding on the Board. The Board understands that there are different views as to what is an appropriate frequency for advisory votes on such compensation.  Our Board and its Compensation Committee will consider the stockholder voting results, along with other relevant factors, in connection with their determination of the frequency of stockholder advisory votes regarding the Company’s Named Executive Officer compensation program. The Company currently plans to seek advisory approval for the compensation of the Named Executive Officers every three years. The Board of Directors is therefore recommending that stockholders vote for holding the advisory vote on compensation paid to Named Executive Officers “EVERY THREE YEARS.”

 

Vote Required; Recommendation of the Board of Directors

 

If a quorum is present, the approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the PhotoMedex shares present in person or represented by proxy at a duly called meeting.

 

The PhotoMedex board of directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” approval of an advisory vote on the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers “EVERY THREE YEARS.”

 

  76  

 

 

PROPOSAL NO. 6 - APPROVAL TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING

 

The Board has determined that the adjournment of the Meeting for any purpose, including to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Meeting to approve the proposals described herein, is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and has approved the adjournment of the Meeting for any purpose, including to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Meeting to approve the proposals described herein.

 

Vote Required; Recommendation of the Board of Directors

 

The Meeting may be adjourned by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a duly called meeting.

 

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the adjournment of the annual meeting for any purpose, including to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the meeting to approve the proposals.

Proposals of our stockholders that are intended to be presented by such stockholders at our next annual meeting of stockholders must be received by us no later than 120 days before January [*], 2018 in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement relating to that meeting. In the event, however, that we change the meeting date for the next annual stockholders meeting by more than 30 days from [*], 2017 we will notify stockholders and allow a reasonable time for stockholder proposals to be included in the notice of annual meeting. A stockholder proposal will need to comply with the SEC regulations under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Although our board of directors will consider stockholder proposals, we reserve the right to omit from our proxy statement, or to vote against, stockholder proposals that we are not required to include under the Exchange Act, including Rule 14a-8.

 

Proposals of our stockholders submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 must have been received by us no later than [*], 2017. If a stockholder gives notice of such a proposal after this deadline, our proxy agents will be allowed to use their discretionary voting authority to vote against the stockholder proposal when and if the proposal is raised at our 2017 annual meeting.

 

You may write to Michele Pupach, Corporate Counsel, at our principal executive office, 2300 Computer Drive, Building G, Willow Grove, Pennsylvania 19090, to deliver the materials and notices discussed above regarding the requirements for making stockholder proposals.

If any other matter or matters are properly brought before the Meeting, or an adjournment or postponement thereof, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy to vote the proxy on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

 

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY STATEMENT

 

The rules promulgated by the SEC permit companies, brokers, banks or other intermediaries to deliver a single copy of our proxy materials to households at which two or more shareholders reside (" Householding "). Shareholders sharing an address who have been previously notified by their broker, bank or other intermediary and have consented to Householding, either affirmatively or implicitly by not objecting to Householding, received only one copy of our proxy materials. A shareholder who wishes to participate in Householding in the future must contact his or her broker, bank or other intermediary directly to make such request. Alternatively, a shareholder who wishes to revoke his or her consent to Householding and receive separate proxy materials for each shareholder sharing the same address must contact his or her broker, bank or other intermediary to revoke such consent. Shareholders may also obtain a separate proxy statement or may receive a printed or an e-mail copy of this Proxy Statement without charge by sending a written request to PhotoMedex, Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 2300 Computer Drive, Building G, Willow Grove, Pennsylvania 19090, or by calling us at 215-619-3600.

Each of the Parent/Purchaser and PHMD shall be party to the engagement letter entered into with the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall act as an arbitrator to resolve the disputed items in question in accordance with the provisions and definitions in this Agreement.

If PHMD or Purchaser, as applicable, disputes any claim set forth in the Notice of Claim, it may, at any time deliver to the Indemnified Person that has given the Notice of Claim a written notice indicating its dispute of such Notice of Claim, and the Parties shall attempt in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the dispute notice to agree upon the rights of the Parties with respect to such Notice of Claim.

The Indemnifying Person, upon notice to the Indemnified Person, may at any time within thirty (30) days after receiving a Third Party Notice, at its own cost and through counsel of its choosing and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, defend any claim or demand set forth in a Third Party Notice. The Indemnifying Person shall have the right to compromise and settle all indemnifiable matters related to Third Party Claims which are susceptible to being settled and as to which it shall have properly assumed the defense; provided , that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any final judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff of a written release or releases from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim of all Indemnified Persons named in such Third Party Claim and the sole relief for which are monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.

Until such time as the Indemnifying Person has timely delivered a notice of intent to defend a Third Party Claim to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Person) such claim, liability or expense, and shall have the right to compromise or settle such claim, liability or expense exercising reasonable business judgment; provided , that such compromise or settlement shall not be effected within the first thirty (30) days after Indemnifying Party’s receipt of such Third Party Notice without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
