On
March 16, 2023, Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the “Company”)
held an investor conference call regarding the Company’s fourth
quarter and 2022 financial and operating results and other matters
relating to the Company, including the previously announced
proposed merger transaction pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Reorganization dated February 24, 2023, by and among the
Company, DMK Pharmaceuticals Corporation, and Aardvark Merger Sub,
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. A copy of the
transcript generated after the occurrence of the conference call is
attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and a transcript of a video
discussion on the Company’s website under the “Investors and Media”
heading concerning the proposed transaction is attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.2. Also on March 16, 2023, the Company issued a press
release announcing certain financial results for the year ended
December 31, 2022. A copy of the Company's press release announcing
this information and certain other information is attached hereto
as Exhibit 99.3. The information set forth in the exhibits shall
not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor
shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange
Act.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits attached
hereto contain forward-looking statements based upon Adamis’
current expectations. This communication contains “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are identified by
terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,”
“anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,”
“contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or
“continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar words.
These statements are only predictions. Adamis has based these
forward-looking statements largely on its expectations about future
events, as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that
are beyond Adamis’ control, and actual results could differ
materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking
statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited
to: (i) risks associated with Adamis’ ability to obtain the
stockholder approval required to consummate the previously
announced proposed merger transaction with DMK Pharmaceuticals
Corporation (“DMK”) and the timing of the closing of the proposed
merger, including the risks that one or more conditions to closing
will not be satisfied within the expected timeframe or at all or
that the closing of the proposed merger will not occur;
(ii) the outcome of any current legal proceedings or future
legal proceedings that may be instituted relating to the proposed
merger or otherwise; (iii) the occurrence of any event, change
or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the
termination of the merger agreement between the Company and DMK;
and (iv) those risks detailed in Adamis’ most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the
SEC, as well as other documents that may be filed by Adamis from
time to time with the SEC. Accordingly, you should not rely upon
forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Adamis
cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in
the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and
actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made in
this communication relate only to events as of the date on which
the statements are made. Except as required by applicable law or
regulation, Adamis undertakes no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after
the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events. Investors should not assume
that any lack of update to a previously issued “forward-looking
statement” constitutes a reaffirmation of that
statement.
Additional
Information about the Merger and Where to Find It
Adamis
intends to file a proxy statement in connection with the proposed
merger transaction with DMK. Investors and stockholders are urged
to read this filing when it becomes available because it will
contain important information about the transaction. This Current
Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer of any securities
for sale or the solicitation of any proxy. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING
OR INVESTMENT DECISION, ADAMIS’ STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE
PROXY STATEMENT REGARDING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION CAREFULLY AND IN
ITS ENTIRETY WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WILL CONTAIN
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND RELATED
MATTERS. Investors and stockholders may obtain free copies of the
proxy statement and other relevant documents (when they become
available) and other documents filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s web
site at: www.sec.gov. In addition, investors and stockholders may
obtain free copies of the documents filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission by Adamis by contacting David C. Benedicto,
Adamis’ chief financial officer, at (858) 997-2400.
Participants
in the Solicitation
Adamis
and DMK, and their respective directors and executive officers, may
be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from
the companies’ stockholders in connection with the proposed
transaction. Information regarding the interests of participants in
the solicitation by the Company will be included in the proxy
statement to be filed by Adamis. Investors and security holders are
urged to read the Company’s proxy statement and the other relevant
materials when they become available before making any voting or
investment decision with respect to the proposed transaction.
Additional information regarding directors and executive officers
of Adamis is also included in the Company’s annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, which is available as described
above.
No
Offer or Solicitation
This
Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to and shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy
any securities or the solicitation of any vote in any jurisdiction
pursuant to the proposed transaction or otherwise, nor shall there
be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of
applicable law.
