Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On January 26, 2021, Boston Therapeutics,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), BTHE Acquisition Inc., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Nanomix, Inc., a California corporation (“Nanomix”), entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, and subject to the satisfaction
or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Nanomix, with Nanomix continuing
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). The Merger
is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Nanomix has developed an advanced mobile Point-of-Care (POC) diagnostic system
that can be used in performing a wide range of in vitro diagnostic tests in many environments. Our goal is to provide laboratory
quality testing for time sensitive medical conditions, at the first point of contact that a patient has with the healthcare system,
no matter where that occurs. The Nanomix eLab® system is CE Marked, a 510(k) is currently in process, and Emergency Use Applications
(EUA) for COVID testing has been submitted to the FDA. We intend to market and sell this system for the detection and diagnosis
of a variety of time sensitive medical conditions.
Subject to the
terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, as consideration for the Merger, Company shall issue to the shareholders of Nanomix
1,000,000 shares of a newly created Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”). Upon
the effectiveness of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the reverse stock split referred to in Item
5.07 below, all such shares of Preferred Stock issued to Nanomix shareholders shall automatically convert into approximately 35,029,160
shares of common stock of the Company, the warrants to be assumed at closing may be exercisable into approximately 2,002,696 shares
of common stock of the Company and the options and restricted stock units to be assumed at closing may be exercisable into approximately
6,456,666 shares of common stock of the Company. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock together
with warrants, restricted stock units and options to be assumed on the closing date shall represent approximately 80% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company upon closing of the Merger.
The Merger Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company and Nanomix, including covenants relating to obtaining the requisite
approvals of the shareholders of the Company and Nanomix, indemnification of directors and officers and the Company’s and
Nanomix’s conduct of their respective businesses between the date of signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the
transaction.
The closing is subject to satisfaction
or waiver of certain conditions including, among other things, (i) the required approvals by Nanomix shareholders, (ii) the accuracy
of the representations and warranties, subject to certain materiality qualifications, (iii) compliance by the parties with their
respective covenants, and (iv) no law or order preventing the merger and related transactions.
The foregoing description of the Merger
Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit
2.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger Agreement (and the foregoing
description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby) has been included to provide investors and shareholders
with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. It is not intended to provide
any other factual information about the Company or Nanomix. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger
Agreement were made only as of specified dates for the purposes of the Merger Agreement, were solely for the benefit of the parties
to the Merger Agreement and may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by such parties. In particular, in reviewing
the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement and discussed in the foregoing description, it
is important to bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants were negotiated with the principal purpose of
allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Such representations, warranties and covenants
may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders and reports
and documents filed with the SEC. Investors and shareholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly,
investors and shareholders should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual
state of facts or circumstances described therein. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties
and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected
in the parties’ public disclosures.
This report shall not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale
of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
