Purpose of the Transaction

 

On January 31, 2023, the Issuer granted to each of Mr. Lapidus, Dr. Cox, Dr. Sokolov, Mr. Sparks and Ms. White a stock option to purchase 175,000 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.31 per share, with each such stock option grant vesting: (i) one-third on December 31, 2023; and (ii) the remaining vesting ratably on a quarterly basis commencing March 31, 2024 with a final quarterly vesting date of December 31, 2025.

 

As previously disclosed, the Reporting Person and the Issuer (which is a majority owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person) are parties to a management services agreement (as amended to date, the “MSA”) and a payroll and benefit expense reimbursement agreement (the “PBERA”). Pursuant to these agreements, the Reporting Person provides management and oversight of certain of the Issuer’s activities, makes certain resources available to the Issuer, and pays certain payroll and benefit-related expenses in respect of the Issuer’s personnel on behalf of the Issuer. The Reporting Person may elect to receive payment of fees and reimbursement of expenses under such agreements in shares of Common Stock, subject to the terms of such agreements (including, in the case of the PBERA, subject to approval of the Issuer’s board of directors). In accordance with the MSA and the PBERA, on January 26, 2024, the Reporting Person elected to receive payment of $4,675,256 of fees and reimbursements accrued under the MSA and the PBERA during the period from October 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, through the issuance of 3,331,771 shares of Common Stock.

 

 

The Reporting Person is the parent company of the Issuer and, with its ownership of approximately 72.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, has the power to elect all of the directors of the Issuer and to control all matters that would require the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The Reporting Person or any of the Principals, respectively, may acquire additional securities of the Issuer and may retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Each of the Reporting Person and each of the Principals, respectively, intends to review its ownership of the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Person or any Principal might undertake with respect to the Common Stock may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Person’s review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments relating to the Reporting Person and/or Principal(s) and the Issuer.

 

As previously disclosed, the Reporting Person plans to distribute to its stockholders, by way of a special in-kind dividend, 3,331,771 of shares of Common Stock. The distribution is expected to occur on or prior to February 15, 2024.

 

Other than as described above, and except in accordance with its role as the parent company of the Issuer, the Reporting Person and Principals do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
