Between October 28 and October 30, 2024, the Company entered into support agreements (each a “Support Agreement”) with some of its institutional investors (the “Investors” and each an “Investor”) pursuant to which the Investors agreed (i) to vote all Subject Shares (as defined in the Support Agreement) that an Investor is entitled to vote at the time any vote to approve and adopt the A&R Merger Agreement and the Merger at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and at any adjournment thereof, at which the A&R Merger Agreement is submitted for consideration and vote of the stockholders of the Company, and (ii) that he or it will not vote any Subject Shares in favor of, and will vote such Subject Shares against the approval of, any Company Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Support Agreement). Each Investor also revoked any and all previous proxies granted with respect to the Subject Shares. The Investors agreed that all shares of Company Capital Stock (as defined in the Support Agreement) that each Investor purchases, acquires the right to vote, or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of, after the execution of the Support Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Support Agreement.

 

Furthermore, the Investors agreed not to sell or transfer any of such Subject Shares until: (a) the A&R Merger Agreement shall have been terminated for any reason; (b) the Merger shall become effective in accordance with the terms and provisions of the A&R Merger Agreement; (c) the acquisition by Aditxt of all Subject Shares of the Investors, whether pursuant to the Merger or otherwise; (d) any amendment, change or waiver to the A&R Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, without each Investor’s consent, that (1) decreases the amount, or changes the form or timing (except with respect to extensions of time of the offer in accordance with the terms of the A&R Merger Agreement) of consideration payable to the Investors pursuant to the terms of the A&R Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof or (2) materially and adversely affects such Investor; or € is agreed to in writing by Aditxt and each Investor (collectively the “Expiration date”).

 

As of the date of the Support Agreement, the Investors own collectively an aggregate of 1,468 shares of Company preferred stock, 297,316,553 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes, 8,463,511 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, and 781,154,325 shares of Company common stock issuable upon any other instrument convertible into Company common stock.

 

The foregoing summary of the terms and of the form of Support Agreement do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the form of Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously reported on September 16, 2022 on Form 8-K, on September 15, 2022, the Company and the Designated Agent entered into a forbearance agreement with the Designated Agent (as defined below) (as amended on December 21, 2022 the “Forbearance Agreement”), wherein the Designated Agent and the holders of certain secured promissory notes agreed to forbear from exercising any of their rights and remedies during the Forbearance Period (as defined in the Forbearance Agreement), but solely with respect to the specified events of default provided therein.

 

As previously reported on October 3, 2024 on Form 8-K, on September 27, 2024, Future Pak, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, as agent for the Purchasers (in such capacity, the “Designated Agent”) provided a Notice of Event of Default and Reservation of Rights (the “Initial Notice of Default”) relating to the Securities Purchase and Security Agreement dated April 23, 2020, as amended (“SPA”), by and among the Company, Designated Agent, as certain guarantors and the purchasers (each a “Purchaser” and collectively “Purchasers”).

 

On October 27, 2024, the Designated Agent sent an amended and supplemented notice to the Initial Notice of Default (the “Amended Notice of Default”) which adds new claims of default based on the Company’s current repayment agreements of existing obligations, including obligations owed to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, an Event of Default has occurred under Section 9.1(e) of the Securities Purchase and Security Agreement dated April 23, 2020, as amended. Furthermore, the Amended Notice stated that, because the events of default described in the Amended Notice of Default are not the certain prior events of default listed in the Forbearance Agreement (the “Specified Defaults”), the Designated Agent and the holders of the senior secured promissory notes described in the SPA thereby provided notice to the Company that the Forbearance Agreement is terminated as of October 27, 2024.

(c) Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiary; Effectiveness. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(d) Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and the parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such court (and, in the case of appeals, the appropriate appellate court therefrom), in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this paragraph shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any person other than the parties hereto. The parties agree that service of any court paper may be made in any manner as may be provided under the applicable Laws or court rules governing service of process in such court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

(e) Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or are otherwise breached, and that the party seeking to enforce this Agreement against such nonperforming party under this Agreement shall be entitled to specific performance and the issuance of injunctive and other equitable relief. The parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

 

(f) Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto, in whole or in part (whether by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void, except that Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any one or more direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Parent without the consent of the Stockholders, but no such assignment shall relieve Sub of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(h) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

(i) Construction.

 

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: (A) the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; (B) the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; (C) the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and (D) the neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders.

 

(ii) The parties hereto agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(iii) As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

 

(j) Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(k) Counterparts; Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, or by combination of such means, each of which shall be deemed an original.

 

(l) No Recourse. Parent and Sub agree that no Stockholder (in his or its capacity as a stockholder of the Company) will be liable for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations resulting from the Company’s breach of the Merger Agreement.

 

(m) Several Obligations. The obligations of each Stockholder hereunder shall be several, and not joint, and no Stockholder shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by any other Stockholder.
