Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 7, 2010, Power3 Medical Products, Inc., a New York corporation (“Power3”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between Power3 and Rozetta-Cell Life Sciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Rozetta-Cell”), pursuant to which Rozetta-Cell will merge with and into Power3, the separate corporate existence of Rozetta-Cell will cease, and Power3 will continue as the surviving company (the “Merger”).
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both Power3 and Rozetta-Cell, if the Merger is completed, each outstanding share of Rozetta-Cell common stock will be converted into the right to receive ten (10) shares of Power3’s common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”), subject to certain adjustments as provided in the Merger Agreement.
 
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of Power3 and Rozetta-Cell, covenants of Rozetta-Cell to conduct its business in the ordinary course until the Merger is consummated, and covenants of Rozetta-Cell to not take certain actions until the Merger is consummated.  Rozetta-Cell has also agreed to not solicit proposals relating to business combination transactions with other parties or enter into discussions concerning any proposals for business combination transactions with other parties.
 
Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others, the approval of the Merger by the shareholders of Rozetta-Cell, the approval of the issuance of Power3 common stock in connection with the Merger by the shareholders of Power3, the approval of an amendment to the certification of incorporation of Power3 by the shareholders of Power3 to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance to that number of shares necessary to ensure that an adequate number of shares is available for issuance to the shareholders of Rozetta-Cell, the receipt of any required governmental approvals and expiration of applicable waiting periods, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Power3 and Rozetta-Cell (generally subject to a material adverse effect standard), and material compliance by Power3 and Rozetta-Cell with their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement.
 
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights of Power3 and Rozetta-Cell, including the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not completed by December 31, 2010.
 
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

 
 

 

The Merger Agreement has been attached hereto to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms.  It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Power3, Rozetta-Cell or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement.  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreement rather than establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Power3 or Rozetta-Cell, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.  Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Power3’s public disclosures.
 
Section 3 – Securities and Trading Markets

Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference herein.

The shares of Power3 common stock to be issued to the shareholders of Rozetta-Cell pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be issued to a limited number of accredited investors in a private placement transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act directly by Power3 without engaging in any general solicitation or advertising of any kind.
