Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

 

On November 9, 2017, a special meeting of the stockholders of Monster Digital, Inc. (the “ Company ” or “ Monster ”) was held at the offices of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP located at 11355 West Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90064, (the “ Special Meeting ”), for the stockholders to vote on the following proposals:

 

Proposal 1: To adopt an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the ‘‘ Merger Agreement ’’) by and among Innovate Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (‘‘ Innovate ’’), Monster and Monster’s wholly owned subsidiary, Monster Merger Sub, Inc. (‘‘ Merger Sub ’’), the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement is known as the ‘‘ Merger ’’.

 

Proposal 2: To amend the Company’s Amended Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split (the ‘‘ Reverse Split ’’) of its issued and outstanding common stock by a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-ten at any time prior to December 31, 2017, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range, as determined by Monster’s board of directors in its sole discretion.

 

Proposal 3: To approve a spin-off transaction whereby all of the business and assets of Monster and those liabilities of Monster not assumed by Innovate in connection with the Merger have been acquired by MD Holding Co., Inc. (‘‘ Holdco ’’), and whereby holders of record of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the closing of the Merger (the ‘‘ Spin-Off Record Date ’’) will receive a pro rata distribution of one share of Holdco’s common stock for each share of Monster common stock held at the close of business on the Spin-Off Record Date immediately prior to, and expressly contingent upon, the consummation of the Merger.

 

Proposal 4: To approve the potential issuance by the Company, in accordance with a convertible note financing transaction, of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at a price that may be less than the greater of book or market value of the Company’s common stock.

 

Proposal 5: To approve the potential issuance by the Company, in accordance with a common stock financing, the proceeds of which will be used to repay an outstanding obligation, of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at a price that may be less than the greater of book or market value of the Company’s common stock.

 

Proposal 6: To approve the potential issuance of more than 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock pursuant to a proposed reduction in the exercise price of outstanding warrants.

Proposal 9: To approve a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, Monster is not authorized to consummate the transactions contemplated by the aforementioned proposals.
