The address of the principal executive office of the Company is c/o Authentidate Holding Corp., 2225 Centennial Drive, Gainesville, Georgia 30504.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

(a, b, c and f) This Statement is being filed by Gulzar Roy (“Roy” or the “Reporting Person”), a U.S. citizen. Mr. Roy is presently a non-executive employee of Authentidate Holding Corp. The business address of the Reporting Person is as stated in response to Item 1, above.

 

(d and e) During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and was not a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities law or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.


As previously disclosed in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 19, 2015, on November 18, 2015, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Original Merger Agreement”) with Peachstate Health Management LLC, d/b/a AEON Clinical Laboratories (“AEON”) and a newly formed acquisition subsidiary of the Issuer whereby AEON will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer through the merger (the “Merger”) of the newly formed acquisition subsidiary of the Company into AEON. In accordance with the Original Merger Agreement, as amended and restated on January 26, 2016 (the “Amended Merger Agreement”, as together with the Original Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreement”), the members of AEON prior to the effective time of the Merger became the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, issuable in tranches as described below. The closing of the Merger occurred on January 27, 2016 and the Issuer filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on February 1, 2016 regarding the Merger in accordance with the SEC regulations.

 

The information set forth in this Item 3 is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of (i) the Merger Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein, (ii) Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, dated May 31, 2016, which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein, and (iii) Amendment No. 2 to the Merger Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2016, which is filed as Exhibit 3 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, among other things:

 

·Following the Merger, AEON became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer by merging into the newly formed acquisition subsidiary of the Issuer and is operating as a separate entity.

 

·At the closing, the members of AEON prior to the effective time of the Merger surrendered their interests in AEON and became the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable in tranches as follows:

 

(a) At the closing of the Merger, the membership interests of AEON were converted into the right to receive such number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as is equal to 19.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer (rounded to the nearest whole share) as of the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger (958,030 total shares of Common Stock).

 

(b) Within three days after the date that the Issuer’s stockholders approve the issuance of additional shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in excess of 19.9% (which approval was received on July 11, 2016), the Issuer will issue to the former AEON members additional shares of Common Stock of the Issuer representing an additional 5.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of its Common Stock as of the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the closing date (240,711 shares of Common Stock) of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) as of the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger, which shares were issued on December 16, 2016.

 

 

CUSIP No. 052666302 SCHEDULE 13D Page 4 of 7

 

 

(c) In the event AEON achieves at least $16,000,000 in EBITDA for the calendar year ending December 31, 2015, then on or after September 1, 2016, the Issuer will issue to the former AEON members such number of shares of its Common Stock as is equal to 24% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer as of close of business on the business day immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger (1,155,415 shares of Common Stock). As previously reported, the parties have determined that AEON satisfied the EBITDA threshold for December 31, 2015 and the shares of Common Stock contemplated by this performance milestone were issued on December 16, 2016.

 

(d) In the event AEON achieves at least $65,900,000 in EBITDA, in the aggregate, for the three calendar years ending December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, then, on October 1, 2019, subject to the completion of the audited financial statements of AEON for the calendar year ending December 31, 2018, the Issuer will issue to the former AEON members such number of additional shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock as is equal to 36.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of its Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) as of the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger; provided, however, the Issuer will issue to the former AEON members such number of additional shares of its Common Stock so that the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the former AEON members shall equal 85% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock on a post-issuance basis (rounded to the nearest whole share) on a Fully Diluted Basis (as defined below).

 

(e) In the event AEON achieves at least $100,000,000 in EBITDA, in the aggregate, for the four calendar years ending December 31, 2019, the Issuer will issue to the former AEON members such number of shares of its Common Stock which equals an additional 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock on a post-issuance basis (rounded to the nearest whole share), on a Fully Diluted Basis, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issued to the former AEON Members under (b), (c) and (d) above (resulting in the former AEON members potentially owning 90% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock on a post issuance basis and Fully Diluted Basis if all the additional tranches are earned).

 

For purposes of determining the potential number of shares of Common Stock which may be earned in the future, the term “Fully Diluted Basis” means mean the aggregate of all outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, plus the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of any derivative security outstanding with a conversion or exercise price of $0.75 (on a pre-reverse split basis) or less; in each case on the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger.

 

Additional terms of the Merger Agreement include:

 

·Effective at the closing, the former AEON members, nominated two persons serve as members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer for so long as they hold shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The Board of Directors of the Issuer was reconstituted, effective with the closing, to consist of nine (9) persons.  The former AEON members, as holders of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement, will have the right to nominate one person to the Board of Directors of the Issuer for each 10% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock beneficially owned by the former AEON members. In the event that a vacancy is created on the Board of the Issuer at any time due to the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of a director elected by the former AEON members, then the former AEON members shall have the right to nominate an individual to fill such vacancy.

 

 

CUSIP No. 052666302 SCHEDULE 13D Page 5 of 7

 

 

·The Issuer and the former AEON members entered into a registration rights agreement at the closing whereby the Issuer agreed to will file with the SEC one or more registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, to allow for the resale by the former AEON members of the shares of Common Stock held by them.

 

The Reporting Person received his shares of Common Stock in connection with the Merger and the sole consideration for such securities paid by the Reporting Person was the membership interests in AEON beneficially owned by such Reporting Person and tendered in the Merger. Prior to the Merger, the Reporting Person beneficially owned approximately 20.0% of the membership interests in AEON. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Reporting Person was issued 191,606 shares of at the closing and was granted the right to receive his proportional interest in the additional shares of Issuer’s Common Stock to be subsequently issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including the shares of Common Stock issued on December 16, 2016.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Reporting Person currently intends to hold the shares of Common Stock of the Company for investment purposes. The Reporting Person does not have any current intention to purchase additional shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Person may, from time to time, acquire additional shares of Common Stock in open market or negotiated block transactions, consistent with his investment purposes or may acquire additional securities of the Issuer through private transactions, which securities may be convertible into additional shares of Common Stock. Additionally, the Reporting Person may from time to time sell shares of Common Stock in open market transactions or in negotiated block sales to one or more purchasers, consistent with his investment purpose. Except as described herein, in the Merger Agreement (as amended to date), or otherwise reported by the Issuer in its disclosure reports filed pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting Person does not currently have plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in:

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)           As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 482,419 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, representing approximately 6.6% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

The foregoing excludes 102,857 unvested restricted stock units which will not vest until June 2, 2019.
