CONNECTION WITH THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT

 

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

General Information

BioVie Inc., a Nevada corporation (“BioVie,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”), is sending you this Information Statement solely for purposes of informing its stockholders of record as of July 15, 2022 (the “Record Date”), in the manner required by Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Company’s amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”), of the action taken by written consent by Acuitas Group Holdings, LLC, an entity controlled by Terren Peizer, Company’s Chairman (the “Majority Stockholder” or “Purchaser”), the holder of a majority of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, to approve, for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) and 5635(d) (collectively, “Nasdaq Rule 5635”), the issuance to the Majority Stockholder in a private placement by the Company of (i) shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated July 15, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and the Purchaser (the “PIPE Financing”).

 

The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the Company is subject to Nasdaq’s rules and regulations, including Nasdaq Rule 5635. Nasdaq Rule 5635, subsections (c) and (d), requires stockholder approval prior to certain issuances of securities, as follows:

 

(c)       the issuance of securities in a transaction (other than a public offering) to officers, directors, employees or consultants at a discount to the market value (the consolidated closing bid price immediately preceding the time the company enters into a binding agreement to issue the securities) (the “Current Market Price”); or

 

(d)       the issuance in a transaction (other than a public offering) of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of the outstanding common stock or 20% or more of the voting power of a company for a purchase price that is lower than (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of a binding agreement; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement (such lower amount, the “Minimum Price”). 

Under Nevada law and our Bylaws, any action that can be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. On the Record Date, the Company was authorized to issue 800,000,000 shares of Common Stock and there were 24,893,083 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding with the holders thereof being entitled to cast one vote per share.

 -1-

On July 15, 2022, the board of directors of the Company (with the Majority Stockholder abstaining) adopted resolutions approving the transactions in connection with the PIPE Financing. In connection with the adoption of these resolutions, the board of directors had been informed that holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of Common Stock were in favor of this proposal and would enter into a written consent approving the PIPE Financing. On July 15, 2022, the Majority Stockholder, who holds a total of 19,529,846 shares of our Common Stock, representing 78.2% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, consented in writing to the PIPE Financing (the “Stockholder Consent”). The full text of the Stockholder Consent is attached hereto as Exhibit A. As described below, the Majority Stockholder is also the sole purchaser in the PIPE Financing.

Accordingly, all necessary corporate approvals in connection with the PIPE Financing have been obtained and this Information Statement is furnished solely for the purpose of informing the stockholders of the Company in the manner required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The general effect of the PIPE Financing is described in “APPROVAL OF THE PIPE FINANCING FOR PURPOSES OF NASDAQ RULE 5635”.

The Company knows of no other matters other than that described in this Information Statement which have been recently approved or considered by the holders of the Common Stock.

APPROVAL OF THE PIPE FINANCING FOR PURPOSES OF NASDAQ RULE 5635

Purpose of the PIPE Financing

Our Board of Directors believes it is in the best interests of the Company to raise capital in the amount of $6.0 million in a private placement transaction to fund the working capital needs of the Company.

Description of the PIPE Financing

 

On July 15, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Company, in a private placement, (i) an aggregate of 3,636,364 shares (the “PIPE Shares”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $1.65 per share and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 200% of the PIPE Shares (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $1.82, with a term of exercise of five years. The aggregate purchase price for the PIPE Shares and the Warrant (collectively, the “Securities”) sold in the Private Placement was approximately $6.0 million. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to occur on or about ________ __, 2022, or approximately 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement.

As required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5630, the independent directors with no interest in the PIPE Financing different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Company’s stockholders generally negotiated the terms and conditions of the PIPE Financing and approved the PIPE Financing.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 15, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Reason for Stockholder Approval

Pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rule 5635(c), if a company intends to issue securities to an officer, director, employee or consultant of the company at a price less than the Current Market Price, the issuer generally must obtain the prior approval of its stockholders. Terren Peizer, the Company’s Chairman, is the direct beneficial owner of the Majority Stockholder, and as such, the PIPE Financing may be considered an issuance of securities to a director of the Company. Moreover, the Current Market Price was $1.81 on July 14, 2022, therefore the purchase price for the Securities is less than the Current Market Price. As a result, Nasdaq Rule 5635(c) requires that the Company obtain stockholder approval prior to issuing the Securities to the Purchaser.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rule 5635(d), if an issuer intends to issue securities in a transaction which could result in the issuance of 20% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of the issuer’s common stock on a pre-transaction basis for less than the Minimum Price for such stock, the issuer generally must obtain the prior approval of its stockholders. The Minimum Price was $1.81 on July 14, 2022, therefore the purchase price for the Securities is less than Minimum Price. In addition, as of July 14, 2022, the Company had 24,893,083 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (the “Outstanding Shares”). The maximum number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Purchaser in the PIPE Financing, assuming exercise in full of the Warrants, would result in the issuance of 10,909,092 shares, which is equal to 43.8% of the Outstanding Shares on a pre-transaction basis. As a result, Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) requires that the Company obtain stockholder approval prior to issuing the Securities in the PIPE Financing.

To ensure compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5635, the Purchase Agreement provides that the Company may not issue and the Purchaser may not purchase any Securities unless stockholder approval is obtained for such issuance.

Effect of the PIPE Financing on Existing Stockholders

The issuance of Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will not affect the rights of the holders of outstanding Common Stock, but such issuances will have a dilutive effect on the Company‘s existing stockholders, including the voting power and economic rights of the existing stockholders.

 

 -6-

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the closing of the PIPE Financing, upon the closing of the PIPE Financing, (i) 3,636,364 shares of Common Stock and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 7,272,728 shares of Common Stock will be issued to the Majority Stockholder pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Collectively, these issuances, assuming full exercise of the Warrants, will represent approximately 43.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and will increase the beneficial ownership of Mr. Peizer from approximately 78.2% to 84.8% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Approval of the PIPE Financing

The approval of the PIPE Financing, including for purposes of Nasdaq Rule 5635, requires the approval of the holders of our outstanding Common Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

The Majority Stockholder, the holder of 19,529,846 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 78.2% of the Outstanding Shares entitled to vote on this corporate action, approved the PIPE Financing by a written consent in lieu of special meeting, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Accordingly, the limitations on issuances and sales of securities under Nasdaq Rule 5635 will not apply to the PIPE Financing. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, such action may not be effected until at least 20 calendar days following the mailing of this Information Statement to our stockholders. This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about ________ __, 2022 to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the Record Date.

 

 -7-

DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL

Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the PIPE Financing.
