PROXY STATEMENT

2019 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

 

To be held on December 2, 2019

 

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Integrated BioPharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to be voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at the Company’s Executive Offices, 225 Long Avenue, Hillside, New Jersey 07205 on December 2, 2019, at 9:00 a.m. local time, or at any postponement or adjournment thereof. This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting and the accompanying form of proxy are first being mailed to stockholders on or about October 28, 2019.

 

Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock, par value $.002 per share (“Common Stock”), at the close of business on October 22, 2019 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to vote on the matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date and entitled to vote is 29,565,943.

 

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting for each share held.

 

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to (i) provide a non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of the stockholder vote on executive compensation (the “Advisory Frequency Proposal) (ii) provide a non-binding, advisory vote on executive compensation (the “Advisory Compensation Proposal”) and (iii) consider and vote upon the proposal to ratify the appointment of Friedman LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 (the “Independent Auditors Proposal”). At the Annual Meeting, stockholders may also be asked to consider and take action with respect to such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

 

Holders of Common Stock as of the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.  Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, we urge you to vote by proxy. All shares represented by valid proxies that we receive through this solicitation, and that are not revoked, will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card or as instructed via Internet or telephone. You may specify whether your shares should be voted for, against or abstain with respect to each proposal. Voting by proxy will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name through our stock transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer, or you have stock certificates, you may vote:

 

 

By phone. Call toll free 800-690-6903.

 

By Internet. Go to www.proxyvote.com and follow the on-screen instructions.

 

In person. If you attend the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person or you may vote by completing a ballot, which will be available at the Annual Meeting.

 

If your shares are held in “street name” (held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee), you must provide the bank, broker or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares and can do so as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

By Internet or by telephone. Follow the instructions you receive from your broker to vote by Internet or telephone.

 

In person at the meeting. Contact the broker or other nominee who holds your shares to obtain a broker’s proxy card and bring it with you to the meeting. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting unless you have a proxy card from your broker.

 

YOUR PROXY CARD WILL BE VALID ONLY IF YOU COMPLETE, SIGN, DATE, AND RETURN IT BEFORE THE MEETING DATE.

 

 

QUORUM AND VOTE REQUIREMENTS

 

The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of record of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote is required for a quorum to transact business at the Annual Meeting, but if a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is obtained.  The proposals set forth herein and all other matters to properly come before the Annual Meeting will be determined by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Brokers or other nominees who hold shares of Common Stock in “street name” for a beneficial owner of those shares typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” proposals when they receive instructions from beneficial owners. However, brokers are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with respect to approval of matters which are “non-routine” without specific instruction from the beneficial owner.  The Advisory Frequency Proposal and the Advisory Compensation Proposal are non-routine proposals, and therefore brokers are not entitled to vote without your instructions.  The ratification of independent auditors is a routine proposal, and therefore, your broker can vote on the independent auditors’ proposal without specific instructions from you. Broker “non-votes” (i.e. proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares as to a matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) and shares for which duly executed proxies have been received but with respect to which holders of shares have abstained from voting will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting.  Broker non-votes will have no impact on the Advisory Frequency Proposal or the Advisory Compensation Proposal and broker non-votes are inapplicable to the Independent Auditors Proposal because the broker has discretionary authority to vote your shares with respect to such proposal.  Abstentions will not be counted as either a vote cast for or against any proposal.

 

SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION

 

PROXIES IN THE FORM ENCLOSED ARE BEING SOLICITED BY, AND ON BEHALF OF, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM OF PROXY HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED AS PROXIES BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

 

All Common Stock represented by properly executed proxies which are returned and not revoked prior to the time of the Annual Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions, if any, given thereon. If no instructions are provided in an executed proxy, it will be voted (i) with respect to Proposal 1, FOR a stockholder vote on executive compensation every three years, (ii) with respect to Proposal 2, FOR the Advisory Compensation Proposal, and (iii) with respect to Proposal 3, FOR the Independent Auditors Proposal, and in accordance with the proxy holder’s discretion as to any other business raised at the Annual Meeting. Any stockholder who executes a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted by delivering to the Company a written statement revoking such proxy, by executing and delivering a later dated proxy, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Attendance at the Annual Meeting by a stockholder who has executed and delivered a proxy to the Company shall not in and of itself constitute a revocation of such proxy.

The Company will bear its own cost for the solicitation of proxies. Proxies will be solicited initially by mail. Further solicitation may be made by directors, officers, and employees of the Company personally, by telephone, or otherwise, but any such person will not be specifically compensated for such services. The Company also intends to make, through banks, brokers or other persons, a solicitation of proxies of beneficial holders of the Common Stock. Upon request, the Company will reimburse brokers, dealers, banks and similar entities acting as nominees for reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the proxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting to the beneficial owners of Common Stock which such persons hold of record.

 

 

No Appraisal Rights

 

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the proposals set forth herein, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such rights.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange and as such we have used the definition of “independence” as defined by The NASDAQ Stock Market to make a determination on the independence of our directors.  Based on such definition, we have concluded that Mr. Canarick is deemed to be “independent”.

 

The Board of Directors held two meetings, the Audit Committee held four meetings and the Compensation Committee held two meetings during the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019 which were attended by all Board Members and all directors serving on such committees, as applicable.

In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, each non-officer Director who was a director as of the date of the Board of Directors Meeting held on May 22, 2019 was granted options to purchase Common Stock under the Company’s 2001 Stock Option Plan, with an exercise price of $0.21 ($0.23 if a greater than 10% owner), which represents the fair market value of the shares of common stock as of the grant date, for his services to the Board of Directors. An aggregate of 450,000 shares were granted. Two thirds of the underlying shares (300,000) vested on the grant date for the three non-officer Board members. The remaining one third or 150,000 underlying shares of the options were vest in twelve (12) equal monthly installments on the 1st of each month representing the non-officer Director’s compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

 

The Audit Committee’s current members are Mr. Canarick, who is an independent director, and Mr. Milmoe, who is not an independent director. Mr. Milmoe was appointed to the Audit Committee in September 2009 until such time as the Board replaces him with a qualified independent director. Mr. Milmoe meets the requirements set forth for an "audit committee financial expert", as defined in the applicable SEC rules. In making this determination, our Board of Directors has considered the formal education and nature and scope of his previous professional experience.  The Company is not actively seeking an independent director at this time. The Company has no immediate plans to search for a new independent board member in the ensuing fiscal year. The Audit Committee periodically consults with the Company’s management and independent public accountants on financial matters, including the Company’s internal financial controls and procedures. The Audit Committee operates under a written Charter, a copy which is available on the Company’s website at http://www.ibiopharma.com//charter.htm. The Audit Committee met four times in the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019, all of which were attended by Mr. Canarick and Mr. Milmoe.

 

At the Board Meeting held in September 2016, the Board of Directors formed a Compensation Committee composed of Mr. Kay, Mr. Milmoe and Mr. Canarick. The Compensation Committee met twice in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The Board set the initial function of the Compensation Committee as developing an Incentive Compensation Plan for the Company’s executive officers and staff, reviewing executive management compensation and reporting back to the Board of Directors their recommendations.

 

The Company does not have a standing nominating committee. With respect to nominating matters, the entire Board performs this function due to the limited number of independent directors currently on the Board. At such time, if any, as the Board composition changes or the Board otherwise deems appropriate, the Company may establish a separate nominating committee. As a result, the entire Board participates in the consideration of Board nominees. The Board, at this time, does not have a policy with regard to consideration of diversity in considering director nominees.

 

The Company’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTQOB regulated by the OTC Markets, a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter securities (“OTCQB”). OTCQB regulations do not require the Company to have audit, nomination or compensation committees. In addition, if the Company’s Common Stock were to be relisted on the NASDAQ Global Market, the Company determined that due to the beneficial ownership by E. Gerald Kay and certain of his family members and Carl DeSantis of greater than 50% of the Common Stock of the Company outstanding as of October 22, 2019, the Company would be a “controlled company” as defined by the NASDAQ Global Market. As such, the Company would be exempt from certain requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market standards, including the requirement to maintain a majority of independent directors on the Company’s Board of Directors and the requirements regarding the determination of compensation of executive officers and the nomination of directors by independent directors.

Code of Ethics

 

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to our directors, officers, senior management and certain other of our employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions. Our Code of Ethics was filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2004, as filed with the SEC on September 28, 2004, as amended as of November 10, 2004.

 

Governance Structure

 

The Company has chosen to combine the principal executive officer and chairman of the board positions. Given the relatively small size of the Company and that a majority of the voting control of the Company is with members of our board, the Company believes that combining the principal executive officer and board chairman positions is the most efficient board leadership structure.

 

No lead independent director has been designated to chair meetings of the independent directors, since we currently only have one independent director.

 

 

Board of Directors Role in Risk Oversight

 

The Company’s audit committee is primarily responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk management processes on behalf of the full board. The audit committee has periodic meetings with management, during which the audit committee receives reports from management regarding the Company’s assessment of risks and discusses with management the Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment, the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps to be taken to monitor and mitigate these exposures. While the audit committee is responsible for risk oversight and for ensuring that material risk is identified and managed properly, the Company’s management is responsible for the day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our Company.

 

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

 

The following individual is an executive officer of the Company but is not a director or nominee for director:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

Overview

 

The goal of our named executive officer compensation program is the same as our goal for operating the Company - to create long-term value for our stockholders. Toward this goal, we have designed and implemented our compensation programs for our named executives to reward them for sustained financial and operating performance and leadership

excellence, to align their interests with those of our stockholders and to encourage them to remain with the Company for long and productive careers. Most of our compensation elements simultaneously fulfill one or more of our performance, alignment and retention objectives. These elements consist of salary and annual bonus, equity incentive compensation, retirement and other benefits. In deciding on the type and amount of compensation for each executive, we focus on both current pay and the opportunity for future compensation. We combine the compensation elements for each executive in a manner we believe optimizes the executive’s contribution to the Company.

 

Compensation Objectives

 

Performance. Our four executives who are identified in the Summary Compensation Table below (whom we refer to as our named executives) have a combined total of 107 years with the Company, during which they have held different positions and been, in some cases, promoted to increasing levels of responsibility. The amount of compensation for each named executive reflects his or her superior management experience, continued high performance and exceptional career of service to the Company over a long period of time. A key element of compensation that depends upon the named executive’s performance is equity incentive compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), subject to vesting schedules that require continued service with the Company.

 

Base salary is designed to be commensurate with the executive’s scope of responsibilities, demonstrated leadership abilities, and management experience and effectiveness. Our other elements of compensation focus on motivating and challenging the executive to achieve superior, longer-term, sustained results. There were no increases in base compensation in the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019, for each of the four named executive officers.

 

Alignment. We seek to align the interests of the named executives with those of our investors by evaluating executive performance on the basis of key financial measurements which we believe closely correlate to long-term stockholder value, including revenue, operating profit, earnings per share, operating margins, return on total equity or total capital, cash flow from operating activities and total stockholder return. Equity incentive compensation awards align the interests of the named executives with stockholders because the total value of those awards corresponds to stock price appreciation.

 

Retention. Our senior executives have been presented with other professional opportunities, including ones at potentially higher compensation levels. We attempt to retain our executives by using continued service as a determinant of total pay opportunity, with the extended vesting terms of stock option and RSU awards.

 

Implementing Our Objectives

 

Determining Compensation. We rely upon our judgment in making compensation decisions, after reviewing the performance of the Company and carefully evaluating an executive’s performance during the year against established goals, leadership qualities, operational performance, business responsibilities, career with the Company, current compensation arrangements and long-term potential to enhance stockholder value. Specific factors affecting compensation decisions for the named executives include:

 

●     key financial measurements such as revenue, operating profit, earnings per share, operating margins, return on total equity or total capital, cash flow from operating activities and total stockholder return;

 

●     strategic objectives such as acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures, technological innovation and globalization;

 

●     promoting commercial excellence by launching new or continuously improving products or services, being a leading market player and attracting and retaining customers;

 

 

9

 

 

 

●     achieving specific operational goals for the Company, including improved productivity, simplification and risk management;

 

●     achieving excellence in their organizational structure and among their employees; and

 

●     supporting our values by promoting a culture of unyielding integrity through compliance with law and our ethics policies, as well as commitment to community leadership and diversity.

 

We generally do not adhere to rigid formulas or necessarily react to short-term changes in business performance in determining the amount and mix of compensation elements. We consider competitive market compensation paid by other companies, but we do not attempt to maintain a certain target percentile within a peer group or otherwise rely on those data to determine executive compensation. We incorporate flexibility into our compensation programs and in the assessment process to respond to and adjust for the evolving business environment.

 

We strive to achieve an appropriate mix between equity incentive awards and cash payments in order to meet our objectives. Any apportionment goal is not applied rigidly and does not control our compensation decisions; we use it as another tool to assess an executive’s total pay opportunities and whether we have provided the appropriate incentives to accomplish our compensation objectives. Our mix of compensation elements is designed to reward recent results and motivate long-term performance through a combination of cash and equity incentive awards. We also seek to balance compensation elements that are based on financial, operational and strategic metrics with others that are based on the performance of our shares. We believe the most important indicator of whether our compensation objectives are being met is our ability to motivate our named executives to deliver superior performance and retain them to continue their careers with us on a cost-effective basis.

 

No Employment and Severance Agreements. Our named executives do not have employment, severance or change-of-control agreements. Our named executives serve at the will of the Board, which enables the Company to terminate their employment with discretion as to the terms of any severance arrangement. This is consistent with the Company’s performance-based employment and compensation philosophy. In addition, our policies on employment, severance and retirement arrangements help retain our executives by subjecting to forfeiture significant elements of compensation that they have accrued over their careers at the Company if they leave the Company prior to retirement.

 

Role of Board and CEO. The Board of Directors has primary responsibility in developing and evaluating potential candidates for executive positions, including the CEO, and for overseeing the development of executive succession plans. As part of this responsibility, the Board oversees the design, development and implementation of the compensation program for the CEO and the other named executives. The Board evaluates the performance of the CEO and determines CEO compensation in light of the goals and objectives of the compensation program. The CEO and the Board together assess the performance of the other named executives and determine their compensation, based on initial recommendations from the CEO. In September 2016, the Board of Directors created a Compensation Committee to take over this role from the Board and CEO. The Compensation Committee recommended the compensation for the named executive officers in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

 

In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the Board named Ms. Christina Kay and Ms. Riva Sheppard, effective, May 1, 2019, as Co-CEOs upon the resignation of our past CEO, E. Gerald Kay, who remains as President and Executive Chairman and a member of the Compensation Committee. The Co-CEOs attend the Compensation Committee meetings as invited guests and assist the committee in reaching compensation decisions with respect to the named executives other than themselves. The remaining named executive does not play a role in her own compensation determination, other than discussing individual performance objectives with the Co-CEOs.

Role of Compensation Consultants. We have not used the services of any compensation consultants in matters affecting senior executive or director compensation. In the future, either the Company or the Board may engage or seek the advice of compensation consultants.

 

Equity Grant Practices. The exercise price of each stock option awarded to our senior executives under our long-term incentive plan is the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. Scheduling decisions are made without regard to anticipated earnings or other major announcements by the Company.

 

Tax Deductibility of Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes a $1 million limit on the amount that a public Company may deduct for compensation paid to the Company’s CEOs or any of the Company’s four other most highly compensated executive officers who are employed as of the end of the year. This limitation does not apply to compensation that meets the requirements under Section 162(m) for “qualifying performance-based” compensation (i.e., compensation paid only if the individual’s performance meets pre-established objective goals based on performance criteria approved by stockholders). For the year ended June 30, 2019, the deduction for compensation paid to the Company’s “covered employees” was not limited by Section 162(m).

 

Potential Impact on Compensation from Executive Misconduct. If the Board determines that an executive officer has engaged in fraudulent or intentional misconduct, the Board would take action to remedy the misconduct, prevent its recurrence, and impose such discipline on the wrongdoers as would be appropriate. Discipline would vary depending on the facts and circumstances, and may include, without limit, (1) termination of employment, (2) initiating an action for breach of fiduciary duty, and (3) if the misconduct resulted in a significant restatement of the Company’s financial results, seeking reimbursement of any portion of performance-based or incentive compensation paid or awarded to the executive that is greater than would have been paid or awarded if calculated based on the restated financial results. These remedies would be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any actions imposed by law enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities.

 

Elements Used to Achieve Compensation Objectives

 

Annual cash compensation

 

Base salary. Base salaries for our named executives depend on the scope of their responsibilities, their performance, and the period over which they have performed those responsibilities. Decisions regarding salary increases take into account the executive’s current salary and the amounts paid to the executive’s peers within and outside the Company. Base salaries are reviewed approximately every 12 months, but are not automatically increased if the Board believes that other elements of compensation are more appropriate in light of our stated objectives. This strategy is consistent with the Company’s primary intent of offering compensation that is contingent on the achievement of performance objectives.

 

Bonus. The Company did not pay bonuses to the named executives in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, but does not rule out doing so in the future when appropriate.

 

The salaries paid to the named executives during the year ended June 30, 2019 are discussed below and shown in the Summary Compensation Table below.

 

Equity awards

 

The Company’s equity incentive compensation program is designed to recognize scope of responsibilities, reward demonstrated performance and leadership, motivate future superior performance, align the interests of the executive with our stockholders’ and retain the executives through the term of the awards. We consider the grant size and the appropriate combination of stock options when making award decisions. The amount of equity incentive compensation grants are based upon the strategic, operational and financial performance of the Company overall and reflects the executives’ expected contributions to the Company’s future success. Existing ownership levels are not a factor in award determination, as we do not want to discourage executives from holding significant amounts of our stock.

 

 

11

 

 

 

We have expensed stock option and RSU grants in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. When determining the appropriate amount of stock options and RSUs, our goal is to weigh the cost of these grants with their potential benefits as a compensation tool. Stock options only have value to the extent the price of our stock on the date of exercise exceeds the exercise price on grant date, and thus are an effective compensation element only if the stock price grows over the term of the award. In this sense, stock options are a motivational tool.

 

Each of the named executives received grants of stock options in the year ended June 30, 2019. There were no awards of RSU grants in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Fifty percent (50%) of the stock options granted became exercisable on the grant date, May 24, 2019, the remaining fifty percent (50%) become exercisable in three (3) equal annual installments each on the annual anniversary date of the vesting date (May 24) and have a maximum ten-year term (see outstanding equity table filed herein). We believe that this vesting schedule aids the Company in retaining executives and motivating longer-term performance. Under the terms of the Company’s long-term incentive plan, unvested stock options and RSUs are forfeited if the executive voluntarily leaves the Company.

 

Other Compensation

 

Other compensation paid to executive officers includes the total matching contribution of the Integrated BioPharma, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan of the named executive officer.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS

 

Warehouse and office facilities are leased from Vitamin Realty Associates, L.L.C. (“Vitamin Realty”), which is 100% owned by the Company’s chairman, president and major stockholder, E. Gerald Kay and certain of his family members, who are also executive officers and directors of the Company, including Riva Sheppard and Christina Kay. On January 5, 2012, Manhattan Drug Company, Inc. (“MDC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a second amendment of lease (the “Second Lease Amendment”) with Vitamin Realty for its office and warehouse space in New Jersey increasing its rentable square footage from an aggregate of 74,898 square feet to 76,161 square feet and extending the expiration date to January 31, 2026. This Second Lease Amendment provides for minimum annual rental payments of approximately $533,000 plus increases in real estate taxes and building operating expenses. Also on January 5, 2012, AgroLabs, Inc., also a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a lease agreement with Vitamin Realty for an additional 2,700 square feet of warehouse space in New Jersey. The term of this lease was originally to expire on January 31, 2019, however, this lease was amended on May 19, 2014 to extend the term thereof to January 1, 2024. This additional lease provides for minimum lease payments of approximately $27,000 with annual increases plus the proportionate share of operating expenses.

 

On June 27, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “CD SPA”) with CD Financial, LLC (“CD Financial”), of which Carl DeSantis, a director and a major shareholder of the Company, is a manager, which amended and restated the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2008, between the Company and CD Financial, pursuant to which the Company issued to CD Financial a 9.5% Convertible Senior Secured Note in the original principal amount of $4,500,000 (the “Original CD Note”). Pursuant to the CD SPA, the Company issued to CD Financial (i) the Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5,350,000 (the “CD Convertible Note”) and (ii) the Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,714,000 (the “Liquidity Note”, and collectively with the CD Convertible Note, the “CD Notes”). The CD Notes had an original maturity date of July 7, 2017, however, on February 19, 2017, the CD Notes were amended to extend the maturity date thereof to February 29, 2020.

The proceeds of the CD Notes were used to refinance (a) the Original CD Note, (b) a $300,000 note issued by MDC (the “CD MDC Note”) to CD Financial and assigned by MDC to the Company, (c) past due interest in the aggregate amount of approximately $333,000 in respect of the Original CD Note and the CD MDC Note and (d) other expenses owed to CD Financial by the Company in the aggregate amount of approximately $217,000.

 

The CD Notes are secured by all assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, machinery and equipment, real estate owned by IHT Properties, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and shares of common stock of iBio, Inc. owned by the Company. The CD Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6% and have a default rate of 10%.

 

The CD Convertible Note is convertible at the option of CD Financial into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.65 per share, subject to customary adjustments including conversion price protection provisions.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2012 and Amended on February 19, 2017 (the “Amended Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) and the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of June 27, 2012, between CD Financial and PNC, during the effectiveness of the PNC loan facility, (i) the principal of the CD Convertible Note may not be repaid, (ii) the principal of the Liquidity Note may only be repaid if certain conditions under the Loan Agreement are satisfied, and (iii) interest in respect of the CD Notes may only be paid if certain conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement are satisfied.

 

The CD SPA contains customary contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default, including, without limitation, an event of default tied to any change of control as defined in the CD SPA.

 

In connection with the CD SPA, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Security Agreement and Amended and Restated Subsidiary Guaranty with CD Financial.

 

On July 31, 2018, the Company authorized the issuance of 8,230,769 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Shares”) to CD Financial. The Common Shares were issued upon the exercise by CD Financial of its conversion right pursuant to the CD SPA and in accordance with Section 3 (b) of the CD Convertible Note. The CD Convertible Note was convertible at the option of CD Financial into Common Shares at a conversion price of $0.65 per share, subject to customary adjustments. CD Financial exercised its conversion right with respect to the entire principal amount due under the CD Convertible Note. The Common Shares issued to CD Financial were issued at a conversion price of $0.65 per Common Share.

 

On May 15, 2019, the Liquidity Note was satisfied in full with the repayment of principal and interest in the amount of $1,717,999. The Liquidity Note was permitted to be paid in full in the Amended Loan Agreement with PNC Bank.

 

On June 27, 2012, MDC and the Company entered into a promissory note with Vitamin Realty in the principal amount of approximately $686,000 (the “Vitamin Note”). The principal amount of the Vitamin Note represents the aggregate amount of unpaid, past due rent owing by MDC under the Lease Agreement, dated as of January 10, 1997, between MDC, as lessor, and Vitamin Realty, as landlord, pertaining to the real property located at 225 Long Avenue, Hillside, New Jersey. The Vitamin Note had an original maturity date of July 7, 2017, however, on February 19, 2017, the Vitamin Note was amended to extend the maturity date thereof to February 29, 2020. The Vitamin Note accrued interest at an annual rate of 4% per annum. Interest in respect of the Vitamin Note was payable on the first business day of each calendar month. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, during the effectiveness of the Senior Credit Facility, the Vitamin Note may only be repaid or prepaid if certain conditions set forth in the Amended Loan Agreement are satisfied.

 

 

17

 

 

 

On May 15, 2019, the Vitamin Note was satisfied in full with the repayment of principal and interest in the amount of $689,187. The Vitamin Note was permitted to be paid in full in the Amended Loan Agreement with PNC Bank.

 

Related Person Transaction Policies and Procedures

 

Although we have not adopted written policies or procedures for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions involving our directors, officer and employees or their family members, our Audit Committee considers such transactions on a case-by-case basis, pursuant to the Audit Committee charter.

 

 

PROPOSAL NO. 1 NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

In addition to the advisory vote on executive compensation discussed in Proposal 2, Section 14A of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") requires that, at least once every six years, we present our stockholders the opportunity to vote, on an advisory basis, on the frequency with which we should conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation. By voting on this Proposal 1, stockholders have the opportunity to vote on whether they would prefer that we conduct future advisory votes on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers:

 

once every three (3) years;

once every two (2) years; or

once every year.

 

It is the opinion of the Board that the frequency of the stockholder vote on the executive compensation should be once every three years. The Board believes that a vote every three years will permit us to focus on developing compensation practices that are in the best long-term interests of our Company and our stockholders. The Board believes that a more frequent advisory vote may cause us to focus on the short-term impact of our compensation practices to the possible detriment of our long-term performance.  In addition, a vote every three years will provide the Board and the Compensation Committee with the time to thoughtfully consider and thoroughly respond to shareholders’ sentiments and to implement any necessary changes in light of the timing required therefor. 

 

You may cast your vote on your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of one year, two years, three years or abstain from voting when you vote in response to the resolution set forth below.

 

RESOLVED, that the shareholders determine, on an advisory basis, whether the preferred frequency of an advisory vote on the executive compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders should be once every year, once every two years, or once every three years.”

 

Because this proposal is an advisory vote, there is technically no minimum vote requirement for this proposal. The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the greatest number of votes cast by our stockholders will be the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation that has been approved by stockholders. Although the results of this vote may impact how frequently we hold an advisory vote on executive compensation, this vote is not binding on us. The Board may decide, after considering the results of this vote that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to hold the advisory vote on executive compensation on a different schedule than the option approved by our stockholders.

 

 

18

 

 

 

The Board Unanimously Recommends a Vote FOR the Holding of an Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation every “Three Years” and Proxies that are Signed and Returned Will Be So Voted Unless Otherwise Instructed

 

PROPOSAL NO. 2 NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Section 14A of the Exchange Act requires public companies to conduct a separate stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation, as disclosed in the Executive Compensation section beginning on page 7 of this proxy statement.

 

Our goals for our executive compensation program are to:

 

attract, motivate and retain outstanding individual named executive officers; and

   

align the financial interests of each Named Executive Officer with the interests of our stockholders to encourage each Named Executive Officer to contribute to our long-term performance and success.

 

Our Board believes that our executive compensation program achieves these goals. For a more detailed description of our financial results for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, please see Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our accompanying Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company's 2019 fiscal year.

 

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our Named Executive Officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our Named Executive Officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

 

RESOLVED, that the Integrated Biopharma, Inc. stockholders approve, on a nonbinding advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and narrative disclosure in the Company’s proxy statement.”

 

In voting to approve the above resolution, shareholders may vote for the resolution, against the resolution or abstain from voting. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon us and there is technically no minimum vote requirement. However, to the extent that a significant percentage of votes are cast against the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement, the Board and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address the concerns reflected in such votes.

 

The Board Unanimously Recommends a Vote FOR the Advisory Resolution above and Proxies that are Signed and Returned Will Be So Voted Unless Otherwise Instructed

PROPOSAL NO. 3 RATIFICATION OF

THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

The Board of Directors of the Company has appointed the firm of Friedman LLP (“Friedman”), independent auditors, to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, subject to ratification by the Company’s stockholders. The Board of Directors reserves the right to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Board of Directors believes that a change is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. We anticipate that a representative of Friedman will be present at the Annual Meeting and will be provided with the opportunity to make a statement if such representative desires to do so and to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

 

Representatives of Friedman will normally attend most meetings of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one fiscal quarter and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services. The independent auditor and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditor in accordance with this pre-approval.

 

The Audit Committee, on an annual basis, reviews the services performed by the Company’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee reviewed and approved the fees charged by Friedman as the independent auditors of the Company for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019.

 

Audit Fees

 

The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 and for the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, was $97,760 and $96,200, respectively.

 

Audit Related Fees

 

Friedman did not render professional services relating to the assurance and related services reasonable related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements that are not reported above for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

Tax Fees

 

Friedman did not bill fees for tax services for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

All Other Fees

 

Friedman did not bill fees for any other services for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

 

Recommendation and Vote

 

Approval of the Independent Auditors Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting.

 

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS PROPOSAL

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

 

      The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Audit Committee") is composed of two (2) directors. One of the two members of the committee is independent. The Board of Directors has adopted an Audit Committee Charter. Management is responsible for the Company's internal control and financial reporting process. The Company's independent public accountants are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

 

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the Company's independent public accountants. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company's consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements with management and the Company's independent public accountants. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent public accountants matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards Numbers 90 and 61 (communication with Audit Committees). The Company's independent public accountants also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by Independence Standard No. 1 (independence discussions with Audit Committee), and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent public accountants that firm's independence. The Audit Committee has also considered whether the independent auditor's provision of information technology and other non-audit services to the Company is compatible with the auditor's independence.

 

Based upon the Audit Committee's discussions with management and the independent public accountants and the Audit Committee's review of the representation of management and the report of the independent public accountants, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 filed with the SEC.

 

The foregoing has been approved by all members of the Audit Committee.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND COMMUNICATIONS

 

Stockholder proposals to be included in the Company’s proxy statement with respect to the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company at its Executive Offices located at 225 Long Avenue, Hillside, New Jersey 07205 not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to December 2, 2020.  All such proposals are subject to the applicable rules and requirements of the SEC.

 

In addition, the Company’s By-laws contain certain notice and procedural requirements applicable to director nominations by stockholders and stockholder proposals, irrespective of whether the proposal is to be included in the Company’s proxy statement. If a stockholder seeks to nominate a candidate for election or proposes business for consideration at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 20 days before or delayed by more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made, whichever occurs first. If the notice is not received by such date, it will be considered untimely under the Company’s By-laws.

 

 

21

 

 

The Board of Directors does not have a formal process for stockholders to send communications (including director nominations) to the Board. Due to the infrequency of stockholder communications to the Board, the Board does not believe that a formal process is necessary. Written communications to the Board may be sent to the Board at the Company’s executive offices at Integrated BioPharma, Inc., 225 Long Avenue, New Jersey 07205, and the Company will promptly circulate such communications to all members of the Board (or to those particular directors to whom such communication is specifically addressed). A stockholder who intends to nominate an individual for election to the Board of Directors (other than a candidate proposed by the Board of Directors) must do so in accordance with the foregoing procedures.

 

OTHER BUSINESS OF THE MEETING

 

The Company is not aware of any matters to come before the Annual Meeting other than those stated in this Proxy Statement. However, in as much as matters of which management of the Company is not now aware may come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment, the proxies confer discretionary authority with respect to acting thereon, and the persons named in such proxies intend to vote, act and consent in accordance with their discretion with respect thereto.

 

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

 

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or the Company that they or the Company will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or the Company if you hold common stock directly. Requests should be addressed to: Integrated Biopharma, Inc., 225 Long Avenue, Hillside, New Jersey 07205 or contact our Corporate Secretary at (973) 926-0816.
