The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares for investment in the ordinary course of their investment activities based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in communications with management and/or the Board, engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, reshaping the Issuer's corporate strategy, recommending business development transactions, proposing changes to management, operations and the structure of the Board (including the composition of the Board), purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

However, subject to market conditions and in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Reporting Persons reserve the right, at a later date, to effect one or more of such changes or transactions in the number of Shares they may be deemed to beneficially own in open-market or privately negotiated transactions, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

VOTING AND Support AGREEMENT

THIS VOTING AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 10, 2019, by and among Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), Aytu Bioscience Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aytu”), Aytu Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Aytu (“Merger Sub”) and the stockholder of Aytu listed on Schedule A hereto (“Securityholder”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used as they are defined in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS:

A.       Securityholder owns beneficially and of record the shares of capital stock set forth opposite Securityholder’s name on Schedule A hereto (such shares of capital stock, together with any other shares of capital stock of Aytu acquired by Securityholder after the date hereof and during the term of this Agreement, being collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Securities”).

B.       Upon the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Aytu, Merger Sub and the Company, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company with the Company to be the surviving corporation of such merger (the “Merger”).

C.       Securityholder believes that the terms of the Merger and the Merger Agreement are fair and that it is in Securityholder’s best interest as holder of the Subject Securities that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) be consummated.

D.       In order to induce Aytu and the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and in consideration of the execution thereof by Aytu and the Company and to enhance the likelihood that the Transactions will be consummated, Securityholder, solely in Securityholder’s capacity as holder of the Subject Securities, has entered into this Agreement and agrees to be bound hereby.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants and agreements set forth below, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.       Agreement to Vote Shares. At any meeting of stockholders of Aytu or at any adjournment thereof that may take place between the date of this Agreement and the Closing or termination of the Merger Agreement, in any action by written consent or in any other circumstances upon which Securityholder’s vote, consent or other approval is sought, Securityholder shall vote (or cause to be voted), as applicable, all of the Subject Securities that are then entitled to be voted (i) in favor of the Transactions and of the terms of the Merger Agreement and the other agreements reflected therein, and (ii) against any proposal, amendment, matter or agreement that would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Merger Agreement,

 

the Transactions or this Agreement. Securityholder agrees that the Subject Securities that are entitled to be voted shall be voted (or caused to be voted) as set forth in the preceding sentence whether or not Securityholder’s vote, consent or other approval is sought on only one or on any combination of the matters set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above and at any time or at multiple times during the term of this Agreement.

2.       Opportunity to Review. Securityholder acknowledges receipt of the Merger Agreement and represents that he, she, or it has had (i) the opportunity to review, and has read, reviewed and understands, the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and (ii) the opportunity to review and discuss the Merger Agreement, the Transactions and this Agreement with his, her or its own advisors and legal counsel.

3.       Public Disclosure; Confidentiality.

From the date of this Agreement until the Closing or termination of the Merger Agreement, Securityholder shall not make any public announcements regarding this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except as may be required by applicable law or regulation (including regulatory filings). The Securityholder understands that it may be the recipient of confidential information of the Company (“Confidential Information”) during the term of this Agreement and that such information may contain or constitute material non-public information concerning the Company, Aytu or their Affiliates. The Securityholder acknowledges that trading in the securities of any party to this Agreement while in possession of material nonpublic information or communicating that information to any other Person who trades in such securities could subject the applicable party to liability under the U.S. federal and state securities laws, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Securityholder agrees that it and its Affiliates will not disclose Confidential Information in its possession, nor will it trade in the securities of the Company or Aytu while in possession of material nonpublic information or at all until the Securityholder and its Affiliates can do so in compliance with all applicable laws and without breach of this Agreement.

If the Securityholder is required to disclose any Confidential Information by legal process, the Securityholder shall: (a) take reasonable steps to preserve the privileged nature and confidentiality of the Confidential Information, including requesting that the Confidential Information not be disclosed to non-parties or the public; (b) give the Company prompt prior written notice of such request or requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy; and (c) cooperate with the Company (at the Company’s expense) to obtain such protective order. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Securityholder (or such other Persons to whom such request is directed) will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which, on the advice of the Securityholder’s counsel, is legally required to be disclosed and, upon the Company’s request, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.

 

 

4.       Representations and Warranties of Securityholder. Securityholder hereby represents and warrants as follows:

Securityholder (i) is the record and beneficial owner of the Subject Securities, free and clear of any liens, adverse claims, charges or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever (other than pursuant to (x) restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws, or (y) this Agreement), and (ii) does not beneficially own any securities of Aytu (including options, warrants or convertible securities) other than the Subject Securities.

Except with respect to obligations under Aytu’s Bylaws, Securityholder has the sole right to transfer, to vote (or cause to vote) and to direct (or cause to direct) the voting of the Subject Securities, and none of the Subject Securities are subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the transfer or the voting of the Subject Securities (other than restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws), except as set forth in this Agreement.

Securityholder, if not a natural person: (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and (ii) has the requisite corporate, company, partnership or other power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to comply with the terms hereof. The execution and delivery by Securityholder of this Agreement, the consummation by Securityholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance by Securityholder with the provisions hereof have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, company, partnership or other action on the part of Securityholder, and no other corporate, company, partnership or other proceedings on the part of Securityholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to comply with the provisions hereof.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Securityholder, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Securityholder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, is enforceable against Securityholder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) the availability of injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the provisions hereof do not and will not conflict with, or result in (i) any violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, any provision of the organizational documents of Securityholder, if applicable, (ii) any material violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under any (A) statute, Law, ordinance, rule or regulation or (B) judgment, order or decree, in each case, applicable to Securityholder or its properties or assets, or (iii) any material violation or breach of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under any material contract, trust, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind to which Securityholder is a party or by which Securityholder or Securityholder’s assets are bound.

 

 

5.       Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon, and concurrently with, the Closing or the termination of the Merger Agreement, each in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void, there shall be no liability on the part of any of the parties, and all rights and obligations of each party hereto shall cease; provided, however, that no such termination of this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any breach of any provision of this Agreement prior to such termination.

6.       Further Covenants and Assurances. During the term of this Agreement, Securityholder hereby, to the extent permitted by Laws, waives and agrees not to exercise any dissenters’ or appraisal rights, or other similar rights, with respect to any Subject Securities which may arise in connection with the Transactions.

7.       Deposit. Securityholder shall cause a counterpart of this Agreement to be deposited, in electronic or physical form, with Aytu at its principal place of business or registered office where it shall be subject to the same right of examination by any stockholder, in person or by agent or attorney, as are the books and records of Aytu.

8.       Remedies. Securityholder acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by it, and that any such breach would cause Aytu and the Company irreparable harm. Accordingly, Securityholder agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, Aytu and the Company, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity each may have, shall be entitled to seek immediate equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction.

 

 

9.       Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered, or if sent by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, shall be deemed duly given on delivery by United States Postal Service, or if sent by e-mail or receipted overnight courier services shall be deemed duly given on the Business Day received if received prior to 5:00 p.m. local time or on the following Business Day if received after 5:00 p.m. local time or on a non-Business Day, addressed to the respective parties as follows:
