Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K may include “forward-looking” statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”),
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”) or in releases made by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), all as may be amended from time to time. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Positron
Corporation, or general industry or broader economic performance in global markets in which Positron operates or competes, to
differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Statements that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by, among
other things, the use of forward-looking language, such as the words “plan,” “believe,” “expect,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will,”
“would,” “could,” “should,” “seeks,” or “scheduled to,” or other similar
words, or the negative of these terms or other variations of these terms or comparable language, or by discussion of strategy
or intentions. These cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the PSLRA with
the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of such laws. Positron cautions investors
that any forward-looking statements made by Positron are not guarantees or indicative of future performance. Important assumptions
and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements with respect
to Positron, include, but are not limited to, the risk that Positron may not successfully grow its business as expected and those
factors, risks and uncertainties that are described in periodic securities filings by Positron with the SEC. Although Positron
believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable,
actual results could differ materially from a projection or assumption in any forward-looking statements. Positron’s future
financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent
risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made only as of the date hereof, and
Positron does not have or undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, subsequent events or otherwise, unless otherwise required by law.
BACKGROUND
As
previously disclosed on May 4, 2016, on August 28, 2015, three creditors of Positron Corporation (the “Registrant”)
filed an involuntary Chapter 11 petition against the Registrant in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas,
Lubbock Division (“Bankruptcy Court”) under Case No. 15-502015-rlj.
As
previously disclosed, the Registrant and the petitioning creditors filed a joint motion to approve a structured dismissal agreement
pursuant to bankruptcy rule 9019 on May 2, 2016. A hearing to consider approval of the structured dismissal agreement was to be
held on June 22, 2016.
The
structured dismissal agreement was not approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and on September 7, 2016 an Order for Relief was entered
by the Bankruptcy Court.
On
November 22, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Company’s motion to approve a settlement agreement whereby the Registrant
transferred all of the assets of Positron’s subsidiary Manhattan Isotope Technology, LLC to DX, LLC (“DX”) (
DX is one of the three petitioning creditors, DX, LLC. is owned by Cecil O’Brate a now former Positron shareholder) in exchange
for the forgiveness of a secured promissory note in the amount of $451,590 held by DX and the forgiveness of all claims by DX
and Jason and Suzanne Kitten. In addition to the above, Cecil O’Brate, Jason and Suzanne Kittens and the O’Brate Group
agreed to relinquish all of the shares held by them of the Registrant’s capital stock.
On
March 27, 2017, the Registrant filed a Plan of Reorganization (“Plan”) and Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure
Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan was solicited by the Registrant and approved by the four classes entitled
to vote on the Plan: Class 1-Claim of Tradex Global Advisors LLC (“Tradex”); Class 3-Priority Wage Claims; Class 5-General
Unsecured Claims; and Class 6-General Unsecured Claims-Insider Notes of the Registrant.
On
April 26, 2017, following a confirmation hearing, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (“Confirmation Order”) confirming
the Registrant’s amended Plan.
The
following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan (capitalized terms used but not defined in this Current Report on Form
8-K have the meaning set forth in the Plan):
The
Plan provided for the payment of administrative and certain priority claims in full, payment of $125,000 to Tradex from the sale
of the Registrant’s real property located in Westmont, IL (“Westmont Real Property”), payment in full of priority
wage claims in Class 3 over a period of thirty six (36) months, a distribution of a total of $50,000 to Class 5 General Unsecured
Claims over a period of thirty six (36) months (representing approximately a 5% distribution) and granting Class 6 General Unsecured
Claims-Insider Notes an option to convert their notes to equity in the Reorganized Company. All payments and distributions under
the Plan were funded by the sale of the Westmont Real Property and by the going forward business operations of the Registrant.
On
October 4, 2017, the Registrant was granted a Final Decree for Reorganization in Texas Court (the “Final Decree”).
The Final Decree set forth a schedule for repayment of obligations which is currently being met. All shareholder classes remained
intact, except Cecil O’Brate whose 3,276,298 shares were returned to the Registrant’s treasury in connection with
the DX settlement.
