On September 30, 2023, Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Panacea” or the “Company”) consummated the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of June 30, 2023 among Lizard Juice, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lizard Juice”), Gary Wilder, (“Wilder”), New Age Distribution, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“New Age Distribution”), and N7 Enterprises, Inc., a Florida corporation and the parent company of Lizard Juice and New Age Distribution (“N7 Enterprises” and together with Lizard Juice, Wilder and New Age Distribution, the “Sellers”) and the Company, pursuant to which the Sellers sold and assigned to the Company, and the Company purchased and assumed from the Sellers, certain of the assets of Seller for 78,530 shares of a newly authorized class of convertible preferred stock of the Company (the “Series N-7 Preferred”), including eight Nitro Kava stores in the Tampa, Florida area, including inventory, equipment and recipes, distribution facilities and a warehouse (collectively, the “Nitro Kava Business”).

 

In exchange for the assets of the Nitro Kava Business, the Company paid the shareholders of Sellers 78,530 shares of Series N-7 Preferred, a portion of which is being held in escrow. The Purchase Agreement contained standard representations and warranties by the Company and the Sellers which, except for fundamental representations, remain in effect for twelve months following the closing date. 31,000 shares of the Series N-7 Preferred were pledged under a security interest, the release of which is contingent upon a mutual agreement of the parties or September 30, 2025 or if a claim is pending, a final non-appealable order of any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

Additional agreements ancillary to the asset acquisition were also executed, including but not limited to a bill of sale, a pledge and security agreement, various leases for the Nitro Kava Business retail locations, leakout agreements from the Sellers, a consulting agreement with Wilder, and a side agreement authorizing the Company to offset any acquisition-related cash expenses incurred by the Company with payments due under the consulting agreement with Wilder.

 

Pledge and Security Agreement

 

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a pledge and security agreement dated as of June 30, 2023 with Wilder (“Security Agreement”), pursuant to which Wilder granted to the Company a security interest and lien upon all of Wilder’s 31,000 shares of Series N-7 Preferred to collateralize Sellers’ obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Under the Security Agreement, Wilder delivered the pledged Series N-7 Preferred to Panacea for the period beginning at the Signing Date of the Asset Purchase Agreement and ending twenty-four (24) months thereafter. In the event of a claim under the Purchase Agreement, Panacea shall have the right to make distributions from the pledged Series N-7 Preferred to the Company as set out in the Purchase Agreement and the Security Agreement.

 

Consulting Agreement and Offset Agreement

 

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a consulting agreement dated as of June 30, 2023 with Wilder (“Consulting Agreement”), pursuant to which Panacea agreed to compensation Wilder with $20,000 per month in cash for a 6-month period, a total cash compensation of $120,000, to provide advisory services on marketing and advertising strategies, new product ideas and strategies, general advice and support, and development of an energy drink business unit, related to the ongoing Nitro Kava Business. Also in connection with the Purchase Agreement and the Consulting Agreement, the Company entered into a side letter agreement dated as of September 30, 2023 with Wilder (“Offset Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company shall have the right to offset any acquisition-related cash expenses, including but not limited to payroll costs and point of sale merchant account charges, incurred by the Company by charging such expenses to payments due under the Consulting Agreement with Wilder. The Company has the right to cancel the agreement with 30 days notice.

 

 
 

 

Lease Agreements

 

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company plans to enter into various lease agreements with the relevant landlords to the eight retail locations and warehouse comprising the Nitro Kava Business, as assignee.

 

Leakout Agreements

 

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into various leakout agreements with the shareholders of Sellers, pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock of the Company deliverable to such holders upon conversion of the Series N-7 Preferred after 180 days from their issuance date shall be subject to certain restrictions on disposition (the “Leakout Agreements”). Under the Leakout Agreements, a condition to issuance of the Series N-7 Preferred, holders shall be permitted to sell an aggregate of up to the greater of one (1%) percent of the average daily volume during the prior ten (10) trading days, or in privately negotiated transactions (provided the purchaser enters into a joinder agreement and agrees to be subject to the same restrictions on such shares applicable to Seller).

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors does hereby provide for the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock for cash or exchange of other securities, rights or property and does hereby fix and determine the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to such series of Preferred Stock as follows:

 

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that the chairman, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, president or any vice-president, and the secretary or any assistant secretary, of the Company be and they hereby are authorized and directed to prepare and file a Certificate of Designations, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series N-7 Preferred Stock in accordance with the foregoing resolution and the provisions of Nevada law.

 

ARTICLE I

Series N-7 Preferred Stock

 

Section 1. Designation and Amount. The Corporation shall be authorized to issue 78,530 shares of Series N-7 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series N-7 Preferred Stock”), which will not be subject to increase without the consent of the holders (each a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series N-7 Preferred Stock. The designations, powers, preferences, rights and restrictions granted or imposed upon the Series N-7 Preferred Stock are as set forth in this Certificate of Designation (this “Certificate of Designations”). Each share of Series N-7 Preferred Stock shall have a stated value of $100.00 (the “Stated Value”).

 

 

 

 

Section 2. Ranking and Voting.

 

Ranking. The Series N-7 Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, rank: (a) senior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation with the Corporation’s common stock, par value 0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and (b) junior with respect to dividends and right of liquidation to all existing and future indebtedness of the Corporation and existing and outstanding preferred stock of the Corporation.

 

Voting. Except as required by applicable law or as set forth herein, the holders of shares of Series N-7 Preferred Stock will have no right to vote on any matters, questions or proceedings of this Corporation including, without limitation, the election of directors. With respect to any voting rights of the Series N-7 Preferred Stock set forth herein, the Series N-7 Preferred Stock shall vote as a class, each share of Series N-7 Preferred Stock shall have one vote on any such matter, and any such approval may be given via a written consent in lieu of a meeting of the Series N-7 Holders. Any reference herein to a determination, decision or election being made by the “Majority Holders” shall mean the determination, decision or election as made by Holders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series N-7 Preferred Stock at such time.

 

Section 3. Protective Provisions.

 

A. So long as any shares of Series N-7 Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation may not, without the affirmative approval of the Majority Holders, (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series N-7 Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designations, (ii) amend its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or other charter documents in breach of any of the provisions hereof, (iii) increase the authorized number of shares of Series N-7 Preferred Stock; or (iv) enter into any binding agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

 

Section 4. Liquidation.

 

A. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or upon any Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, and after payment or provision for any liquidation preference payable to the holders of any Preferred Stock ranking senior upon liquidation to the Series N-7 Preferred Stock, if any, but prior to any distribution or payment made to the holders of Common Stock or the holders of any Preferred Stock ranking junior upon liquidation to the Series N-7 Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the Holders will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series N-7 Preferred Stock equal to (i) the Stated Value plus (ii) any accrued but unpaid dividends, the Default Adjustment (as defined herein), if applicable, Failure to Deliver Fees (as defined herein), if any, and any other fees as set forth herein (the amounts in this clause (ii) collectively, the “Adjustment Amount”).

 

B. A “Deemed Liquidation Event” means: (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of the surviving or resulting corporation or, if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or (b) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

 

 

 

 

B. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or any Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation will be insufficient to make payment in full to all Holders of the liquidation preferences hereunder, then such assets will be distributed among the Holders at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

 

Section 5. Conversion.

 

A. Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the Issuance Date, to convert all or any part of the outstanding Series N-7 Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issuance Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Corporation into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the Conversion Rate determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall any Holder be entitled to convert any portion of the Series N-7 Preferred Stock in excess of that number of Series N-7 Preferred Stock that upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Series N-7 Preferred Stock or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of the Series N-7 Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of Series N-7 Preferred Stock shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Amount (as defined herein) by the Conversion Rate (as defined herein) then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion (the “Notice of Conversion”), attached hereto as Exhibit A, delivered to the Corporation by a Holder in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Corporation before 6:00 p.m., Denver, Colorado time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00 p.m., Denver, Colorado time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day.

 

B. Conversion Rate. Each share of Series N-7 Preferred Stock convert into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to 100 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for each one share of Series N-7 Preferred Stock surrendered (the “Conversion Rate”). The Corporation shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.

 

 

 

 

C. Authorized Shares. The Corporation covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Corporation shall reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of the Series N-7 Preferred Stock issued. The Corporation represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Corporation shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series N-7 Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Rate, the Corporation shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Series N-7 Preferred Stock. The Corporation (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Series N-7 Preferred Stock, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of the Series N-7 Preferred Stock shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the Series N-7 Preferred Stock.

 

  D. Method of Conversion.

 

i. Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in hereof, the shares of Series N-7 Preferred Stock may be converted by the Holder thereof, either as to all of such Holder’s shares of Series N-7 Preferred Stock or as to a portion of such Holder’s shares of Series N-7 Preferred Stock, at any time from time to time after one hundred eighty (180) days following the Issuance Date, by submitting to the Corporation a Notice of Conversion (by e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and within five (5) days following such conversion surrendering the converted Series N-7 Preferred Stock to the Corporation’s transfer agent.

 

ii. Surrender of Series N-7 Preferred Stock Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of the Series N-7 Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof, the converting Holder shall be required to physically surrender any certificate representing the Series N-7 Preferred Stock being converted to the Corporation (or its transfer agent) and, in the event that less than all of the Series N-7 Stock represented by such certificate is being converted, the Corporation shall return to the applicable Holder a new certificate representing the unconverted shares of Series N-7 Preferred Stock.

 

iii. Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Corporation from a Holder of an e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as set forth herein, and the certificate representing the Series N-7 Preferred Stock as required herein, the Corporation shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the applicable Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, and any replacement certificate representing the unconverted shares of Series N-7 Preferred Stock, if applicable, within ten (10) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”). Upon receipt by the Corporation of a Notice of Conversion, the applicable Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding Series N-7 Preferred Stock held by such applicable Holder shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Corporation defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the shares of Series N-7 Preferred Stock being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the applicable Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein and comply with the other requirements herein, the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the applicable Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Corporation to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the applicable Holder of any obligation to the Corporation, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to the applicable Holder in connection with such conversion.

 

 

 

 

iv. Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Corporation is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the applicable Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the applicable Holder by crediting the account of applicable Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian system.

 

vi. Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series N-7 Preferred Stock may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Securities Act”) or (ii) the Corporation or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the applicable Holder who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this section and who is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 under Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act). Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series N-7 Preferred Stock shall be removed and the Corporation shall issue to the applicable Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Corporation or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from applicable Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Securities Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Corporation so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series N-7 Preferred Stock such security is registered for sale by the applicable Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act.

 

 

 

 

  E. Effect of Certain Events.

Each applicable Holder receiving PLSH Shares, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Buyer that the following Section ‎3.12 is true as of the date of this Agreement.

 

3.12 Securities.

 

(a) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The PLSH Shares will be acquired for investment for Holder’s own account(s), not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Holder does not presently have any Contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any other Person with respect to any of such PLSH Shares. Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring such PLSH Shares. Neither Holder nor any of its Affiliates has any present intention of entering into any put option, short position or other similar position with respect to the PLSH Shares.

 

(b) Disclosure of Information. Holder has had an opportunity to discuss to Holder’s satisfaction PLSH’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the PLSH Shares with PLSH’s management and has had an opportunity to review PLSH’s business. Such discussions, as well as any written information delivered by PLSH to Holder, were intended to describe the aspects of PLSH’s business which PLSH believes to be material. Further, Holder acknowledges that it has reviewed PLSH’s filings with the Securities Exchange Commission, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, and has had the opportunity to ask questions of management of PLSH concerning PLSH’s business, operations and financial condition.

 

9

 

 

(c) Restricted Securities. The PLSH Shares have not been registered and are being issued to Sellers pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The PLSH Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities Laws and a resale of the PLSH Shares may be made only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an available exemption from registration.

 

(d) Rule 144. Holder is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer of the securities (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and which rule requires, among other things, that PLSH be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, that resales of securities take place only after the holder of the shares has held the shares for certain specified time periods, and under certain circumstances, and that resales of securities be limited in volume and take place only pursuant to brokered transactions. PLSH has provided no assurances as to whether Holder will be able to resell any or all of the PLSH Shares pursuant to Rule 144.

 

(e) Resale Restrictions. If all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act, or some other registration exemption will be required with respect to the PLSH Shares. Notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that Persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. The PLSH Shares shall be held by Holders for a minimum period of six (6) months from the date such PLSH Shares are issued to Holder and Holder shall not sell, transfer or otherwise hypothecate any of the PLSH Shares held by such Holder prior to the expiration of such six-month period absent written consent of PLSH.

 

(f) Sophistication. Holder is a sophisticated investor (as described in Rule 506 of Regulation D) and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the acquisition of the PLSH Shares contemplated hereunder; and is fully capable of, and understands and accepts, the risk of loss of Holder’s entire investment in the PLSH Shares. Holder and each Affiliate of Holder expressly acknowledges and understands that neither PLSH nor any director, officer, employee or agent of PLSH makes any representation whatsoever as to the merit, risk or value of an investment in the PLSH Shares.

 

(g) No General Solicitation. Neither Holder, nor any of its officers, employees, agents, directors, members, attorneys, shareholders, or partners (a) has engaged the services of a broker, investment banker or finder to contact any potential investor, nor has Holder or any of Holder’s officers, employees, agents, directors, members or partners, agreed to pay any commission, fee or other remuneration to any third party to solicit or contact any potential investor; (b) engaged in any general solicitation; or (c) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the PLSH Shares being issued hereunder.

 

(h) Reliance on Exemption. The PLSH Shares are being offered and issued to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and state securities Laws. PLSH is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and Holder’s compliance with, the statements of fact, representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings of Holders set forth in this Section 3.11in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Holders to acquire the PLSH Shares.

3.13 Independent Investigation. Sellers have conducted their own independent investigation, review, and analysis of the business, results of operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise), or assets of PLSH, and acknowledge that they have been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, assets, premises, books and records, and other documents and data of PLSH for such purpose. Sellers acknowledge and agree that: (a) in making their decision to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Sellers have relied solely upon their own investigation and judgment and upon advice from such advisors as they has deemed necessary, and the express statements of facts of Buyer set forth in Article IV (including the related portions of the Disclosure Schedules or Schedule Update); and (b) neither Buyer, PLSH nor any other Person has made any statements of facts as to Buyer, PLSH, the business of PLSH, the value or future prospects of the Common Stock, or this Agreement, except as expressly set forth in Article IV of this Agreement (including the related portions of the Disclosure Schedules or Schedule Update).

(e) The Sellers liability with respect to Section 9.1(a)(i) and 9.1(a)(iv) is limited to Losses incurred or suffered by Buyer in an amount not to exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Cap shall not apply with respect to (A) breaches by such Seller of Sections 3.1 (Sellers’ Organization), 3.2 (Authority), 3.3 (No Conflicts), 3.4 (Proceedings), 3.6 (Compliance with Laws), 3.7(Taxes) or 3.11 (Environmental Matters) (each, a “Fundamental Representation”); or (B) Losses relating to claims arising out of fraud.

 

(f) Buyer’s liability with respect to Section 9.1(b)(i) is limited to Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties in an amount not to exceed the Cap; provided, however, that the Cap shall not apply with respect to breaches by Buyer of Sections 4.1 (Organization). 4.2 (Authority) 4.3(a) (No Conflict) or 4.6 (Broker).

(h) Except for (i) Losses relating to the breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation or (ii) Losses relating to claims arising out of fraud, Sellers shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 9.1(a)(i) or 9.1(a)(iv) until the aggregate amount of all Losses claimed by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in respect of indemnification under Section 9.1(a)(i) exceeds $50,000, in which event Sellers shall be required to pay or be liable for Losses from the first dollar.

 

(i) (i) Payments by the Party against whom indemnification is requested (the “Responding Party”) pursuant to Section 9.1 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds actually received by the Party seeking indemnification (the “Claiming Party”) in respect of any such claim net of any premium increases. The Claiming Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies for Losses.

 

21

 

 

9.3 Procedure with Respect to Third-Party Claims.

 

(a) If a Party is threatened with or becomes subject to a third-party Claim, and such Claiming Party believes it has a claim entitled to indemnification from the Responding Party (as provided in Section 9.1) as a result, then the Claiming Party shall notify the Responding Party in writing of the basis for the Claim setting forth the nature of the Claim in reasonable detail. The failure of the Claiming Party to so notify the Responding Party will not relieve the Responding Party of liability hereunder except to the extent that the defense of the Claim is prejudiced by the failure to give the notice.

 

(b) If any Proceeding is brought by a third party against a Claiming Party and the Claiming Party gives notice to the Responding Party pursuant to Section 9.3(a) , the Responding Party may participate in the Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense of the Proceeding, if (i) the Responding Party provides written notice to the Claiming Party that the Responding Party intends to undertake the defense, (ii) the Responding Party conducts the defense of the third-party Claim actively and diligently with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (iii) if the Responding Party is a party to the Proceeding, the Responding Party or the Claiming Party has not determined in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate because of a conflict of interest; provided that in such case the Claiming Party may, in its sole discretion, employ separate counsel (who may be selected by the Claiming Party in its sole discretion) in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, and the Claiming Party shall pay the fees and expenses of its counsel; and the Claiming Party shall cooperate with the Responding Party and its counsel in all reasonable respects in the defense or compromise of the Claim. If the Responding Party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, no compromise or settlement of the Claims may be effected by the Responding Party without the Claiming Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (x) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other Claims that may be made against the Claiming Party, and (y) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that the Responding Party pays in full.

 

(c) If written notice is given to the Responding Party of the commencement of any third-party Proceeding and the Responding Party does not, within 14 days after the Claiming Party’s written notice is given pursuant to Section 9.3(a), give notice to the Claiming Party of its election to assume the defense of the Proceeding, any of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 9.3(b) above become unsatisfied or a Claiming Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may materially adversely affect it other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification from the Responding Party under this Agreement, then the Claiming Party may (upon written notice to the Responding Party) undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of the Claim; provided, however, that the Responding Party shall reimburse the Claiming Party for the Losses associated with defending against the third-party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and will remain otherwise responsible for any liability with respect to amounts arising from or related to the third-party Claim, in both cases to the extent it is ultimately determined that the Responding Party is liable with respect to the third-party Claim for a breach under this Agreement. The Responding Party may elect to participate in the Proceedings, negotiations or defense at any time at its own expense.

 

9.4 Mandatory Mediation.

 

(a) Except for Claims arising under Section 5.8or Section 10.11, any dispute, Claim, interpretation, controversy, or issues of public policy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Section 9.4, will be subject to mandatory mediation prior to the filing of any arbitration action as described in Section 9.5.

 

22

 

 

(b) The mediator will be selected from the roster of mediators at Judicial Arbiter Group, Inc. in the State of Florida (“JAG”), unless the Parties agree otherwise. If the Parties do not agree on the selection of a single mediator within ten days after a demand for mediation is made, then the mediator will be selected by JAG from among its available professionals. The mediation will be held within 45 days of the selection of the mediator. All communications, both written and oral, during mediation are confidential and will be treated as settlement negotiations for purposes of the Florida Rules of Evidence. The mediation process will be confidential pursuant to terms agreed to by the Parties and the mediator. Each Party shall bear an equal share of any costs and fees associated with mediation, except for legal fees and expenses incurred by the Parties.

 

(c) If the Parties are unable to resolve a dispute, Claim, interpretation, controversy, or issue of public policy pursuant to this Section 9.4, the Parties shall engage in binding arbitration pursuant to Section 9.5.

 

9.5 Mandatory Binding Arbitration.

 

(a) Except for Claims arising under Section 5.8 or Section 10.11, any dispute, Claim, interpretation, controversy, or issues of public policy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Section 9.5, will be determined exclusively by arbitration held in the State of Florida, and will be governed exclusively by the Florida Revised Arbitration Code (the “FRAC”).

 

(b) A panel of three arbitrators (the “Arbitration Panel”) will be selected from the roster of arbitrators at Judicial Arbiter Group, Inc. in Denver, Colorado (“JAG”), unless the Parties agree otherwise. If the Parties do not agree on the selection of such Arbitration Panel within ten days after a demand for arbitration is made, then the Arbitration Panel will be selected by JAG from among its available professionals. Arbitration of all disputes and the outcome of the arbitration will remain confidential between the Parties except as necessary to obtain a court judgment on the award or other relief or to engage in collection of the judgment.

 

(c) The Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in Florida, with respect to this Section 9.5 to compel arbitration, to confirm an arbitration award or order, or to handle court functions permitted under the FRAC. The Parties irrevocably waive defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or other proceeding. The Parties may seek recognition and enforcement of any Florida state court judgment confirming an arbitration award or order in any United States state court or any court outside the United States or its territories having jurisdiction with respect to recognition or enforcement of such judgment.

 

(d) The Parties waive (i) any right of removal to the United States federal courts and (ii) any right in the United States federal courts to compel arbitration, to confirm any arbitration award or order, or to seek any aid or assistance of any kind.

Exhibit 10.4

 

FORM OF

 

Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc.

 

CONSULTING AGREEMENT

 

This Consulting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of June 30, 2023, by and between Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Gary Wilder (“Consultant”).

 

1. Consulting Relationship. During the term of this Agreement, Consultant will provide consulting services to the Company as described on Exhibit A hereto (the “Services”). Consultant represents that Consultant is duly licensed (as applicable) and has the qualifications, the experience and the ability to properly perform the Services. Consultant shall use Consultant’s reasonable efforts to perform the Services such that the results are satisfactory to the Company. Consultant shall devote 100% of Consultant’s professional time, or a minimum of forty (40) hours per week, to performance of the Services.

 

2. Fees. As consideration for the Services to be provided by Consultant and other obligations, the Company shall pay to Consultant the amounts specified in Exhibit B hereto at the times specified therein.

 

3. Expenses. Consultant shall not be authorized to incur on behalf of the Company any expenses and will be responsible for all expenses incurred while performing the Services (except as expressly specified in Exhibit C hereto) unless otherwise agreed to by the Company’s CEO, which consent shall be evidenced in writing for any such expenses in excess of $500. As a condition to receipt of reimbursement, Consultant shall be required to submit to the Company reasonable evidence that the amount involved was both reasonable and necessary to the Services provided under this Agreement.

 

4. Term and Termination. Consultant shall serve as a consultant to the Company for a six (6) month period commencing on the Closing Date of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and N7 Enterprises, Inc. and Consultant of even date herewith.

 

Notwithstanding the above, either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon thirty business days’ written notice. In the event of such termination, Consultant shall be paid for any portion of the Services that have been performed prior to the termination.

 

Should either party default in the performance of this Agreement or materially breach any of its obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to Consultant’s obligations under the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement between the Company and Consultant referenced below, the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement immediately if the breaching party fails to cure the breach within 5 business days after having received written notice by the non-breaching party of the breach or default.

 

5. Independent Contractor. Consultant’s relationship with the Company will be that of an independent contractor and not that of an employee.

 

 
 

 

6. Method of Provision of Services. Consultant shall be solely responsible for determining the method, details and means of performing the Services. Consultant may, at Consultant’s own expense, employ or engage the services of such employees, subcontractors, partners or agents, as Consultant deems necessary to perform the Services (collectively, the “Assistants”). The Assistants are not and shall not be employees of the Company, and Consultant shall be wholly responsible for the professional performance of the Services by the Assistants such that the results are satisfactory to the Company.

 

(a) No Authority to Bind Company. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that Consultant and its Assistants have no authority to enter into contracts that bind the Company or create obligations on the part of the Company without the prior written authorization of the Company.

 

(b) No Benefits. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that Consultant and its Assistants shall not be eligible for any Company employee benefits and, to the extent Consultant otherwise would be eligible for any Company employee benefits but for the express terms of this Agreement, Consultant (on behalf of itself and its employees) hereby expressly declines to participate in such Company employee benefits.

 

(c) Taxes; Indemnification. Consultant shall have full responsibility for all applicable taxes for all compensation paid to Consultant or its Assistants under this Agreement, including any withholding requirements that apply to any such taxes, and for compliance with all applicable labor and employment requirements with respect to Consultant’s self-employment, sole proprietorship or other form of business organization, and with respect to the Assistants, including state worker’s compensation insurance coverage requirements and any U.S. immigration visa requirements. Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Company harmless from any liability for, or assessment of, any claims or penalties or interest with respect to such taxes, labor or employment requirements, including any liability for, or assessment of, taxes imposed on the Company by the relevant taxing authorities with respect to any compensation paid to Consultant or its Assistants or any liability related to the withholding of such taxes.

 

7. Supervision of Consultant’s Services. All of the services to be performed by Consultant, including but not limited to the Services, will be as agreed between Consultant and the Company’s CEO, Leslie Buttorff. Consultant will be required to report to the Company’s CEO concerning the Services performed under this Agreement. The nature and frequency of these reports will be left to the discretion of the Company’s CEO.

 

8. Consulting or Other Services for Competitors. Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant does not presently perform or intend to perform, during the term of the Agreement, consulting or other services for, or engage in or intend to engage in an employment relationship with, companies whose businesses or proposed businesses in any way involve products or services which would be competitive with the Company’s products or services, or those products or services proposed or in development by the Company during the term of the Agreement (except for those companies, if any, listed on Exhibit D hereto). If, however, Consultant decides to do so, Consultant agrees that, in advance of accepting such work, Consultant will promptly notify the Company in writing, specifying the organization with which Consultant proposes to consult, provide services, or become employed by and to provide information sufficient to allow the Company to determine if such work would conflict with the terms of this Agreement, including the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the interests of the Company or further services which the Company might request of Consultant. If the Company determines that such work conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the Company reserves the right to terminate this Agreement immediately. In no event shall any of the Services be performed for the Company at the facilities of a third party or using the resources of a third party.

9. Conflicts with this Agreement. Consultant represents and warrants that neither Consultant nor any of the Assistants is under any pre-existing obligation in conflict or in any way inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant’s performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by Consultant in confidence or in trust prior to commencement of this Agreement. Consultant warrants that Consultant has the right to disclose and/or or use all ideas, processes, techniques and other information, if any, which Consultant has gained from third parties, and which Consultant discloses to the Company or uses in the course of performance of this Agreement, without liability to such third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant agrees that Consultant shall not bundle with or incorporate into any deliveries provided to the Company herewith any third party products, ideas, processes, or other techniques, without the express, written prior approval of the Company. Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant has not granted and will not grant any rights or licenses to any intellectual property or technology that would conflict with Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement. Consultant will not knowingly infringe upon any copyright, patent, trade secret or other property right of any former client, employer or third party in the performance of the Services.

 

10. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Governing Law.

This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions, understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between them relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

(c) Amendments and Waivers. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement.

(f) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

FORM OF LEAK OUT AGREEMENT

 

This LEAK-OUT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of September 30, 2023 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. a Nevada corporation, (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Stockholder”) of the Company.

 

WHEREAS, to ensure the development of an orderly trading market in the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”), the Company and the Stockholder intend to enter into this Agreement to provide for the circumstances under which the Stockholder may sell or otherwise dispose of shares of the Company’s securities; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of June 30, 2023 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), Stockholder is the holder of shares of Series N7 Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Leak-out Shares”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the undersigned Stockholder agree as follows:

 

Restrictions on Sales; Volume Limitations. The Stockholder’s right to effect open market sales of his, her or its, as the case may be, Leak-out Shares shall be limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed the Total Monthly Volume per month, or the Total Weekly Volume per week.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, “Total Weekly Volume” and “Total Monthly Volume” shall mean one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that are actually traded (bought and sold) prior to the Stockholder’s open market sales, as calculated by adding the daily volume of the Common Stock for the day(s) of that week or month prior to the open market sale. Leak-out Share amounts that may be sold are not cumulative. If the Stockholder waives his, her or its, as the case may be, rights at any time during the Leak-out Period, pursuant to this Section (b) (“Waivable Period”), the calculated Leak-out Share amounts that may be sold for those Waivable Periods shall not accrue and not add to Leak-out Share amounts that may be sold in future period or periods.

 

Application of this Agreement to Shares Sold or Otherwise Transferred. So long as such sales are made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement, Leak-out Shares sold in the public market shall thereafter not be subject to the restrictions on sale contained in this Agreement.

 

Attempted Transfers. Any attempted or purported sale or other Transfer of any Leak-out Shares by the Stockholder in violation or contravention of the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio. The Company shall instruct its transfer agent to reject and refuse to transfer on its books any Leak-out Shares that may have been attempted to be sold or otherwise transferred in violation or contravention of any of the provisions of this Agreement and shall not recognize any person or entity.

 

 
 

 

Broker Authorization. The Stockholder hereby authorizes any and all brokers, for all accounts holding the Stockholder’s Leak-out Shares, to provide directly to the Company, immediately upon the Company’s request, a copy of all account statements showing the Leak-out Shares and all trading activity in the Leak-out Shares during the Leak-out Period.

 

Acknowledgement of Representation. The Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company that the Stockholder was or had the opportunity to be represented by legal counsel and other advisors selected by Stockholder in connection with this Agreement. The Stockholder has reviewed this Agreement with his, her or its legal counsel and other advisors and understands the terms and conditions hereof.

 

Legends on Certificates. All Leak-out Shares now or hereafter owned by the Stockholder, except any shares purchased in open market transactions by Stockholders that are not affiliates (as such term is defined under securities laws) of the Company, shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the certificates representing such Leak-out Shares shall bear the following legends:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED FOR VALUE UNLESS THEY ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS THE CORPORATION RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO IT, OR OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF, THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.

 

THE SALE, ASSIGNMENT, GIFT, BEQUEST, TRANSFER, DISTRIBUTION, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER ENCUMBRANCE OR DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS RESTRICTED BY AND MAY BE MADE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A LEAK-OUT AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE EXAMINED AT THE OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION.

 

Governing Law; Venue. All disputes arising under this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement must be brought only in the civil or state courts of Nevada or in the federal courts located in the State of Nevada. Both parties and the individual signing this Agreement on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conformed with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or unenforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Stockholder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Stockholder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other decision in favor of the Stockholder.

This Agreement may only be changed by an agreement in writing, mutually signed by the Company and the Stockholder subject to this Agreement.

 

Remedies.

All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof, whether at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any party hereto shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such party.

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. Completes Acquisition of N7 Enterprises With Eight Natural Health and Wellness Retail and One Distribution Center Locations in the Tampa, Florida area

 

GOLDEN, Colo., October 5, 2023 Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: PLSH) (“Panacea” or the “Company”), a plant-based natural health ingredient and product company, today announced it has acquired eight retail locations and one distribution center in the Tampa, Florida area offering Nitro Kava, Kratom, VAPE products and beverages. Operating as N7, the acquisition marks an expansion of the Company’s business into retail stores from its historic focus on its branded health and wellness products, ingredient and contract manufacturing. The name of the stores will change to PanaceaDistro for the initial phase of expansion. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, N7 generated approximately $2.6 million of revenues (unaudited).

 

Panacea plans on expanding by adding additional stores and offering new high quality plant-based products, in addition to offering store franchising opportunities.

 

“We are excited to complete the acquisition of this popular retail chain and innovative distribution business as we expand into the billion dollar natural health and wellness market segment. The long-term objective is for Panacea to own and or operate hundreds of stores. We believe there is a massive shift in the minds of consumers away from pharmaceutical lab-driven products toward using natural products as functional remedies to treat and heal the human body. Combined with our recent acquisition of PUR Life Medical longevity clinics, we believe Panacea is well positioned and on the forefront of this movement,” said Leslie Buttorff, CEO. “With this acquisition we are able to capture a high value business in the natural beverage retail and wholesale market that includes brand licensing and franchising development for all of our product segments.”
