(1)

On September 30, 2016 and effective as of November 10, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), Veriteq Corporation (the “Company”) executed a Senior Secured Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, Brace Shop LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Florida, Braceshop Real Estate Holdings LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and TCA Global Credit Master Fund LP, a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, as lender (“TCA Fund”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, TCA Fund agreed to loan the Company up to $1,000,000.00.

 

On the Effective Date, in connection with the Credit Agreement, Ms. Lynn Shapiro (“Shapiro”) and TCA Fund entered into a Pledge and Escrow Agreement whereby Shapiro pledged 849 shares of Series E Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series E Preferred”) in favor of TCA Fund. The Series E Preferred votes together with the common stock of the Company and is equal to 84.9% of the voting control of the Company. The Series E Preferred is convertible into 84.9% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company.

 

On August 18, 2017 (the “Pledge Date”), TCA Fund provided notice to the Company and Shapiro of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, which occurred and remained continuing and uncured for non-payment. Accordingly, on or about the Pledge Date, TCA Fund demanded the Escrow Agent under the terms of the Pledge and Escrow Agreement, to deliver to TCA Fund the Series E Preferred, along with all applicable Transfer Documents (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), and TCA Fund became the registered owner of the Series E Preferred in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement.

   

(2)

The Series E Preferred grants TCA Fund the right to vote together with the holders of common stock of the Company as a single class. As such, the 849 shares of Series E Preferred issued to TCA Fund provide TCA Fund with 84.9% of the voting power of the Company. As a result, the issuance of the 849 shares of Series E Preferred pursuant to the Pledge and Escrow Agreement resulted in a change in control of the Company on the Pledge Date.

 

(3) Based on 27,988,804 votes of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company as of September 30, 2016, 1,383,715,403 votes of Series E Preferred of the Company as of September 30, 2016, and 965,635 votes of common stock of the Company as of February 3, 2017, totaling aggregate votes of capital stock of the Company equal to 1,412,669,842.
   
(4)

There remains an open question regarding whether the Series E Preferred shares were duly and legally transferred to the ownership of TCA Fund. Notwithstanding this, TCA Fund is making this filing and disclosing the transfer of shares out of an abundance of caution and with a view toward making full and adequate disclosure.
