Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Share Purchase Agreement
 
On June 16, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), Tribute Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with the shareholders of Medical Futures Inc. (“MFI”) pursuant to which the Company acquired (the “Acquisition”) all of the outstanding shares of MFI (the “MFI Shares”). The consideration paid for the MFI Shares was comprised of (1) Cdn$8.3 million in cash on closing, (2) Cdn$5 million through the issuance of 3,723,008 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”), (3) Cdn$5 million in the form of a one-year term promissory note (the “Note”) bearing interest at 8% annually convertible in whole or in part at the holder’s option at any time during the term into 2,813,778 Common Shares of the Company at a conversion rate of Cdn$1.77 per Common Share (subject to adjustment in certain events), and (4) future contingent cash milestone payments totaling Cdn$6 million that will be paid upon the achievement of certain conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approval for MFI’s 2 pipeline products described below and certain required consents.
 
This acquisition diversifies the Company’s product portfolio in Canada through the addition of 13 marketed products (Durela®, Proferrin®, Iberogast®, Moviprep®, Normacol®,  Resultz®, Pegalax®, Balanse®, Balanse® Kids, Balanse® Diaflor™, Purfem®, and Onypen®) and 2 pipeline products (Octasa® and BedBugz™, both of which are pending submission to Health Canada).
 
Durela® (tramadol HCI extended release capsules) is indicated for the management of moderate to moderately severe pain in adults who require continuous treatment for several days or more.  Durela® is available in a unique, patent protected formulation, consisting of an immediate release tablet, encapsulated with controlled release beads, providing for a unique drug release profile and once a day dosing. MFI licensed Durela® from Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. in September 2011 and has marketed the product in Canada since 2012. Durela® is protected by a patent in Canada through October 2022.
 
Proferrin® is a unique heme iron polypeptide formulated in a tablet. Heme is a naturally sourced form of iron derived from bovine hemoglobin and is used to prevent and treat those at risk of iron deficiency. Each Proferrin® tablet contains the equivalent of 11mg of elemental iron.  Proferrin® has a unique mechanism of action which results in optimal iron uptake, minimal side effects and equal efficacy with or without food.  MFI originally licensed Proferrin® from Colorado Biolabs, Inc. in December 2006. Proferrin® is protected by a patent in Canada through September 2026.
 
Resultz® (50% isopropyl myristate topical solution) is indicated for the treatment of head lice infestations in individuals 2 years and older.  Resultz® is a unique, non-toxic/pesticide free, patent protected, topical solution which is available without a prescription in pharmacies across Canada.  Resultz® treatment for head lice infestations is simple and consists of only 1 to 2 applications to achieve efficacy.   MFI assumed the Canadian license to Resultz® from Piedmont Pharmaceuticals LLC in August 2012.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Share Purchase Agreement are made only for purposes of the Share Purchase Agreement and are made as of specific dates; are solely for the benefit of the parties (except as specifically set forth therein); may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties, instead of establishing matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality and knowledge applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. Investors and security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of MFI, its shareholders or the Company. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Share Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

The Debentures have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws, and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, to persons in the “United States” (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), except in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
 
The Agency Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing and closing deliverables, indemnification obligations of the Company, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agency Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

Such notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a Person against the Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim") or whether the Claim does not so arise (a "Direct Claim"), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available):

(1) Direct Claims:  With respect to Direct Claims, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of a Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days to make such investigation of the Claim as the Indemnifying Party considers necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim.

(3) If any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by applicable Law to make a payment to a Third Party with respect to such Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Party may make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse the Indemnified Party for any such payment. If the amount of any liability of the Indemnified Party under the Third Party Claim in respect of which such a payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of such difference to the Indemnifying Party;
 
(4) Except in the circumstance contemplated by Section 7.5(5), and whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not negotiate, settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim except with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);
 
(5) The Indemnified Party shall not permit any right of appeal in respect of any Third Party Claim to terminate without giving the Indemnifying Party notice and an opportunity to contest such Third Party Claim;

(8) The provisions of this Article 7 shall constitute the sole remedy available to a Party against another Party with respect to any and all breaches of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty made by such other Party in this Agreement; and
 
(9) The amount of any Claim due under this Agreement shall be reduced by:
 
(a)

Section 3.1 Conversion Rights.
 
(a)  
The Holder shall have the right, at his option, immediately prior to a Liquidation Event (other than a Liquidation Event itemized in subsection (ii) of the definition thereof), to convert all or some of the outstanding Principal Sum and accrued interest thereon into Common Shares at the Conversion Rate by giving a written notice to the Corporation as provided in ARTICLE 4. The “Conversion Rate” means one Common Share for each $1.777 of such amount converted, subject to adjustment, from time to time, in accordance with this ARTICLE 3.
 
(b)  
Holder shall have the right, at his option, to be exercised prior to May 16, 2016,  to convert all or some of the outstanding Principal Sum and accrued interest thereon into Common Shares at the Conversion Rate by giving a written notice to the Corporation as provided in ARTICLE 4.  In the event that Holder does not exercise his conversion rights as aforesaid, the Corporation shall repay the Obligations on the Maturity Date.
 
Section 3.2 Reclassification of Common Shares.  In the case of any reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding (other than any subdivision or consolidation of Common Shares into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares) or change of the Common Shares into some other shares, in case of a Corporate Reorganization of the Corporation (other than a Corporate Reorganization which does not result in a reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into some other shares), all only as permitted hereunder, the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon conversion, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon such conversion, the kind and amount of shares and other securities or property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Corporate Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, he had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon conversion. If necessary, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 3 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Promissory Note. Any such adjustments shall be made by and set forth in a supplemental agreement hereto approved by the board of directors of the Corporation and shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
 
Section 3.3 Manner of Exercise of Right to Convert.  The Holder may exercise his right to convert in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 by sending to the Corporation at its principal address a notice (the “Conversion Notice”) exercising his right to convert in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE 3. The Holder shall be entitled to be entered in the books of the Corporation as at the date of the Conversion Notice as the holder of the number of Common Shares or other shares, as the case may be, into which the Promissory Note is convertible in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE 3 and within 10 business days of the conversion, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for such Common Shares or other shares, as the case may be.
 
 
66

 
 
Section 3.4 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.
 
3.4.1  
The Conversion Rate in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 3.4, with the proviso that the events giving rise to an adjustment be only as permitted hereunder.
 
3.4.2  
If and whenever the Corporation shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares; (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or (iii) issue any Common Shares of the Corporation to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend (other than any stock dividends constituting dividends paid in the ordinary course), the number of Common Shares which may be acquired pursuant to Section 3.1 in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend, as the case may be, shall be increased, in the case of the events referred to in (i) and (iii) above, in the proportion which the number of Common Shares outstanding before such subdivision, redivision or dividend bears to the number of Common Shares outstanding after such subdivision, redivision or dividend, or shall be decreased, in the case of the events referred to in (ii) above, in the proportion which the number of Common Shares outstanding before such reduction, combination, or consolidation bears to the number of Common Shares outstanding after such reduction, combination or consolidation, and the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted accordingly. Any such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date fixed for such stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under this Subsection 3.4.2 or Subsection 3.4.4.
 
3.4.3  
In the case of any reclassification (other than a reclassification referred to in Section 3.4.2) of, or other change in, the outstanding Common Shares into which this Promissory Note is convertible other than a subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation, the number of Common Shares which may be acquired pursuant to Section 3.1 and the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in such manner as the board of directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably, determine to be appropriate on a basis consistent with this Section 3.4.
 
3.4.4  
The Corporation shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or re-adjustment as provided in this Section 3.4, deliver a certificate of the Corporation to the Holder specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate and the amount of the adjustment specified therein shall be verified by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer.
 
 
67

 
 
3.4.5  
If any question arises with respect to the adjustments provided in this Section 3.4, such question shall be conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants (who may not be the Corporation’s auditors) appointed by the Corporation. Such chartered accountants shall have for such purposes access to all necessary records of the Corporation and such determination shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Holder. All costs in this regard shall be borne by the Corporation in the event the certificate provided pursuant to Section 3.4.4 is determined in accordance with this Section to be materially incorrect but otherwise by the Holder.
 
3.4.6  
In the event that one or more adjustments in the conversion feature of the Common Shares as contemplated in the share attributes of the Common Shares occurs prior to the date of conversion of this Promissory Note, the Holder shall be entitled to the full benefit of any such adjustments following the date hereof upon conversion of this Promissory Note as if the Holder were a holder of Common Shares received upon exercise immediately prior to the time of the first to occur of such adjustments and thereafter, and the number and kind of securities issuable upon conversion of this Promissory Note shall be adjusted accordingly.
 
Section 3.5 No Requirement to Issue Fractional Shares.  The Corporation shall not issue fractional shares upon conversion but shall issue the next highest whole number of shares otherwise to be issued after all necessary calculations in this ARTICLE 3 have been completed.
 
Section 3.6 Notice of Special Matters.  The Corporation shall give notice to the Holder, in the manner provided in ARTICLE 4, of its intention to fix a record date for any event mentioned in Section 3.4 which may give rise to an adjustment in the number of Common Shares which may be acquired pursuant to Section 3.1, and, in each case, such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event; provided that the Corporation shall only be required to specify in such notice such particulars of such event as shall have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given. Such notice shall be given not less than 14 days prior to such applicable record date.
 
Section 3.7 Share Certificate Legend.   The following legend shall be imprinted on the face of the certificate(s) (or if the face of the certificate has insufficient space, on the back of the certificate(s)  with a reference on the face of the certificate to the legend) to be issued to the Holder upon the exercise of the Holder’s conversion rights set out above:

ARTICLE 4
 
GENERAL
 
Section 4.1 Waiver.  No act or omission by the Holder in any manner whatever shall extend to or be taken to affect any provision hereof or any subsequent breach or default or the rights resulting therefrom save only express waiver in writing.

The Corporation waives every defence based upon any or all indulgences that may be granted by the Holder.

11.  
Indemnity
 
(a)  
Rights of Indemnity
 
(1)           The Corporation covenants and agrees to protect, indemnify, and save harmless, each of the Agents and their respective affiliates, and each and every one of the directors, officers, employees, partners and agents of the Agents (individually, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all expenses, losses (excluding loss of profits), claims, actions, damages (other than consequential or punitive damages) or liabilities, joint or several (including the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings or claims and the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel that may be incurred in advising with respect to and/or defending any claim that may be made against the Indemnified Parties) to which any Indemnified Party may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under any statute or common law or otherwise insofar as such expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based, directly or indirectly, upon the performance of professional services rendered to the Corporation by the Indemnified Parties (or any of them), whether directly or indirectly, including by reason of:
 
 
20

 
 
 
(a)
any information or statement contained in this Agreement, the Debenture Documentation, the Corporation’s publicly available disclosed documents filed on SEDAR or elsewhere, or in any other material prepared by the Corporation used for marketing the Offering or any certificate of the Corporation delivered hereunder or pursuant hereto, which at the time and in the light of the circumstances under which it was made contains or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation or any misstatement of a material fact;
 
 
(b)
the omission or alleged omission to state in in this Agreement, the Debenture Documentation, the Corporation’s publicly available disclosed documents filed on SEDAR or elsewhere, or in any other material prepared by the Corporation used for marketing the Offering or any certificate of the Corporation delivered hereunder or pursuant hereto, any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statement therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made;
 
 
(c)
any order made, or inquiry, investigation or proceeding commenced by any securities regulatory authority or other competent authority based upon any misrepresentation, untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in  this Agreement, the Debenture Documentation, the Corporation’s publicly available disclosed documents filed on SEDAR or elsewhere, or in any other material prepared by the Corporation used for marketing the Offering or any certificate of the Corporation delivered hereunder or pursuant hereto that prevents or restricts the trading in any of the Corporation’s securities or the distribution or distribution to the public, as the case may be, of any of the Debentures in any of the Qualifying Jurisdictions;
 
 
(d)
the Corporation not complying with any requirement of Applicable Securities Laws or stock exchange requirements in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, including the Corporation’s non-compliance with any statutory requirement to make any document available for inspection; or
 
 
21

 
 
 
(e)
any breach of a representation or warranty of the Corporation contained in this Agreement or the Debenture Documentation or the failure of the Corporation to comply with any of its obligations hereunder.
 
(2)           Notwithstanding Subsection 11(a) (1), the indemnification in Subsection 11(a)(1) does not and shall not apply to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment that has become non- appealable shall determine that (a) the Agents and their respective affiliates have been negligent or have committed any fraudulent or illegal act in the course of the professional services rendered to the Corporation, and (b) such expenses, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions were caused or incurred by the gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct of the Agents.
 
(3)           If any matter or thing contemplated by this Section 11 shall be asserted against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification is or might reasonably be considered to be provided, such Indemnified Party will notify the Corporation in writing as soon as possible of the nature of such claim (provided that omission to so notify the Corporation will not relieve the Corporation of any liability that it may otherwise have to the Indemnified Party hereunder, except to the extent the Corporation is materially prejudiced by such omission) and the Corporation shall be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such claim; provided, however, that the defence shall be through legal counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party and that no settlement may be made by the Corporation or such Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
 
(4)           In any such claim, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain other legal counsel to act on such Indemnified Party’s behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such other legal counsel shall be paid by such Indemnified Party, unless: (a) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Corporation; or (b) the Corporation has not assumed the defence and employed counsel thereof promptly after receiving notice of such claim; or (c) the named parties to any such claim include both the Indemnified Party and the Corporation, and the Indemnified Party has been advised by legal counsel thereto that representation of both the Corporation and the Indemnified Party by the same legal counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them; or (d) there are one or more defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from and in addition to those available to the Corporation, provided that the Corporation shall not be responsible for the fees or expenses of more than one legal firm in any single jurisdiction for all of the Indemnified Parties.
 
(5)           To the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to this Agency Agreement, the Agents shall obtain and hold the right and benefit of this Section 11 in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.
 
 
22

 
 
(6)           The Corporation hereby consents to personal jurisdiction in any court in which any claim that is subject to indemnification hereunder is brought against the Agents or any Indemnified Party and to the assignment of the benefit of this Section 11 to any Indemnified Party for the purpose of enforcement provided that nothing herein shall limit the Corporation’s right or ability to contest the appropriate jurisdiction or forum for the determination of any such claims.
 
(7)           The rights of the Corporation contained in this Section 11 shall not enure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the Agents were provided with a copy of any amendment or supplement to this Agreement or Debenture Documentation which corrects any untrue statement or omission or alleged omission that is the basis of a claim by a party against such Indemnified Party and that is required, under the Applicable Securities Laws, to be delivered to such party by the Agents.
 
(8)           The Corporation shall not be liable under this Section 11 for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its prior written consent.
 
(b)  
Notification of Claims
 
If any matter or thing contemplated by Section 11(a) (any such matter or thing being referred to as a “Claim”) is asserted against any person or company in respect of which indemnification is or might reasonably be considered to be provided, such person or company (the “Indemnified Party”) will notify the Corporation as soon as possible of the nature of such Claim (but the omission so to notify the Corporation of any potential Claim shall not relieve the Corporation from any liability which they may have to any Indemnified Party and any omission so to notify the Corporation of any actual Claim shall affect the Corporation’s liability only to the extent that the Corporation is materially prejudiced by that failure). The Corporation shall assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such Claim, provided, however, that
 
(i)  
the defence shall be conducted through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, and
 
(ii)  
no settlement of any such Claim or admission of liability may be made by the Corporation without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
 
(c)  
Right of Indemnity in Favour of Others
 
With respect to any Indemnified Party who is not a party to this Agreement, the Agents shall obtain and hold the rights and benefits of this Section 11 in trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.
 
(d)  
Retaining Counsel
 
In any such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain one separate counsel to act on his or its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of the other counsel; (ii) the named parties to any such Claim (including any added third or impleaded party) include both the Indemnified Party and the Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by counsel to the Indemnified Party that the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of interest between the Corporation and the Indemnified Party; or (iii) the Corporation shall not have retained counsel within seven Business Days following receipt by the Corporation of notice of any such Claim from the Indemnified Party; provided that the Corporation shall not be responsible for the fees or expenses of more than one legal firm in any single jurisdiction for all of the Indemnified Parties.
 
 
23

 
 
12.  
Contribution
 
(a)  
Rights of Contribution
 
In order to provide for a just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided in Section 11 would otherwise be available in accordance with its terms but is, for any reason, held to be unavailable to or unenforceable by the Agents or enforceable otherwise than in accordance with its terms, the Corporation and the Agents shall contribute to the aggregate of all claims, expenses, costs and liabilities and all losses (other than loss of profits) of a nature contemplated by Section 11 in such proportions so that the Agents shall be responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the aggregate Agents’ Fee hereunder bears to the aggregate offering price of the Debentures being sold by the Corporation and the Corporation shall be responsible for the balance, whether or not they have been sued together or sued separately, provided, however, that (i) the Agents shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amounts in excess of the aggregate Agents’ Fee actually received by the Agents from the Corporation under this Agreement; (ii) each Agent shall not in any event be liable to contribute, individually, any amount in excess of such Agents’ portion of the aggregate Agents’ Fee actually received from the Corporation under this Agreement; and (iii) no party who has engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct or negligence shall be entitled to claim contribution from any person who has not engaged in such fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct or negligence.

For purposes of this Section 12, each person, if any, who controls an Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act or Section 20 of the U.S. Exchange Act and each Agents’ affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Agent and each person, if any, who controls the Corporation within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act or Section 20 of the U.S. Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Corporation. The Agents’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 12 are several in proportion to the percentages of Agents’ Fee set forth opposite their respective names in Section 5(a) hereof and not joint.

13.  
Severability

The Holder shall have the right, at his option, immediately prior to a Liquidation Event (other than a Liquidation Event itemized in subsection (ii) of the definition thereof), to convert all or some of the outstanding Principal Sum and accrued interest thereon into Common Shares at the Conversion Rate by giving a written notice to the Corporation as provided in ARTICLE 4. The “Conversion Rate” means one Common Share for each $1.777 of such amount converted, subject to adjustment, from time to time, in accordance with this ARTICLE 3.

Section 3.2 Reclassification of Common Shares.  In the case of any reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding (other than any subdivision or consolidation of Common Shares into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares) or change of the Common Shares into some other shares, in case of a Corporate Reorganization of the Corporation (other than a Corporate Reorganization which does not result in a reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into some other shares), all only as permitted hereunder, the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon conversion, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon such conversion, the kind and amount of shares and other securities or property which such Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Corporate Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, he had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which he was theretofore entitled upon conversion. If necessary, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this ARTICLE 3 shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may be possible in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Promissory Note. Any such adjustments shall be made by and set forth in a supplemental agreement hereto approved by the board of directors of the Corporation and shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
 
Section 3.3 Manner of Exercise of Right to Convert.  The Holder may exercise his right to convert in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 by sending to the Corporation at its principal address a notice (the “Conversion Notice”) exercising his right to convert in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE 3. The Holder shall be entitled to be entered in the books of the Corporation as at the date of the Conversion Notice as the holder of the number of Common Shares or other shares, as the case may be, into which the Promissory Note is convertible in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE 3 and within 10 business days of the conversion, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for such Common Shares or other shares, as the case may be.

If and whenever the Corporation shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares; (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or (iii) issue any Common Shares of the Corporation to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend (other than any stock dividends constituting dividends paid in the ordinary course), the number of Common Shares which may be acquired pursuant to Section 3.1 in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend, as the case may be, shall be increased, in the case of the events referred to in (i) and (iii) above, in the proportion which the number of Common Shares outstanding before such subdivision, redivision or dividend bears to the number of Common Shares outstanding after such subdivision, redivision or dividend, or shall be decreased, in the case of the events referred to in (ii) above, in the proportion which the number of Common Shares outstanding before such reduction, combination, or consolidation bears to the number of Common Shares outstanding after such reduction, combination or consolidation, and the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted accordingly. Any such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend shall be deemed to have been made on the record date fixed for such stock dividend for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under this Subsection 3.4.2 or Subsection 3.4.4.
 
3.4.3  
In the case of any reclassification (other than a reclassification referred to in Section 3.4.2) of, or other change in, the outstanding Common Shares into which this Promissory Note is convertible other than a subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation, the number of Common Shares which may be acquired pursuant to Section 3.1 and the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in such manner as the board of directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably, determine to be appropriate on a basis consistent with this Section 3.4.
 
3.4.4  
The Corporation shall from time to time immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or re-adjustment as provided in this Section 3.4, deliver a certificate of the Corporation to the Holder specifying the nature of the event requiring the same and the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate and the amount of the adjustment specified therein shall be verified by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer.

3.4.5  
If any question arises with respect to the adjustments provided in this Section 3.4, such question shall be conclusively determined by a firm of chartered accountants (who may not be the Corporation’s auditors) appointed by the Corporation. Such chartered accountants shall have for such purposes access to all necessary records of the Corporation and such determination shall be binding upon the Corporation and the Holder. All costs in this regard shall be borne by the Corporation in the event the certificate provided pursuant to Section 3.4.4 is determined in accordance with this Section to be materially incorrect but otherwise by the Holder.
 
3.4.6  
In the event that one or more adjustments in the conversion feature of the Common Shares as contemplated in the share attributes of the Common Shares occurs prior to the date of conversion of this Promissory Note, the Holder shall be entitled to the full benefit of any such adjustments following the date hereof upon conversion of this Promissory Note as if the Holder were a holder of Common Shares received upon exercise immediately prior to the time of the first to occur of such adjustments and thereafter, and the number and kind of securities issuable upon conversion of this Promissory Note shall be adjusted accordingly.
 
Section 3.5 No Requirement to Issue Fractional Shares.  The Corporation shall not issue fractional shares upon conversion but shall issue the next highest whole number of shares otherwise to be issued after all necessary calculations in this ARTICLE 3 have been completed.
 
Section 3.6 Notice of Special Matters.  The Corporation shall give notice to the Holder, in the manner provided in ARTICLE 4, of its intention to fix a record date for any event mentioned in Section 3.4 which may give rise to an adjustment in the number of Common Shares which may be acquired pursuant to Section 3.1, and, in each case, such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event; provided that the Corporation shall only be required to specify in such notice such particulars of such event as shall have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given.

Tribute Pharmaceuticals Announces Acquisition of Medical Futures Inc., a Canadian Specialty Pharmaceutical Company
Includes Canadian Rights to Durela®, Proferrin® and 13 Additional Products

MILTON, ONTARIO (Marketwire – June 17, 2015) - Tribute Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc. (OTCQX: TBUFF) (TSX Venture: TRX) ("Tribute" or the "Company"), a specialty pharmaceutical company with a primary focus on the acquisition, licensing, development and promotion of healthcare products in Canada and the U.S., is pleased to announce that it has acquired Medical Futures Inc. ("MFI") in a transaction valued at $25 million.  Financial terms of the deal include the payment of: $8.3 million in cash on closing; $5 million through the issuance of 3,723,008 common shares in the capital of Tribute; and, $5 million in the form of a one year term promissory note bearing interest at 8% annually convertible at MFI’s option at any time during the term into 2,813,778 common shares of Tribute; and future contingent cash milestone payments totaling $6 million based on attainment of certain conditions expected shortly after the close of this transaction.  Net Sales of MFI in the twelve month period ended March 31, 2015 were approximately $10 million. This transaction is expected to be immediately accretive.  Unless otherwise indicated herein, all references to monetary amounts are in Canadian dollars.

This acquisition further diversifies Tribute’s product portfolio in Canada through the addition of 13 marketed and 2 pipeline products.  Highlights of the MFI portfolio include Durela®, Proferrin® and Resultz®.

Durela® (tramadol HCI extended release capsules) is indicated for the management of moderate to moderately severe pain in adults who require continuous treatment for several days or more.  Durela® is available in a unique, patent protected formulation, consisting of an immediate release tablet, encapsulated with controlled release beads, providing for a unique drug release profile and once a day dosing. MFI licensed Durela® from Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. in September 2011 and has marketed the product in Canada since 2012. Durela® is protected by a patent in Canada through October 2022.

Proferrin® is a unique heme iron polypeptide formulated in a tablet. Heme is a naturally sourced form of iron derived from bovine hemoglobin and is used to prevent and treat those at risk of iron deficiency. Each Proferrin® tablet contains the equivalent of 11mg of elemental iron.  Proferrin® has a unique mechanism of action which results in optimal iron uptake, minimal side effects and equal efficacy with or without food.  MFI originally licensed Proferrin® from Colorado Biolabs, Inc. in December 2006. Proferrin® is protected by a patent in Canada through September 2026.

Resultz® (50% isopropyl myristate topical solution) is indicated for the treatment of head lice infestations in individuals 2 years and older.  Resultz® is a unique, non-toxic/pesticide free, patent protected, topical solution which is available without a prescription in pharmacies across Canada.  Resultz® treatment for head lice infestations is simple and consists of only 1 to 2 applications to achieve efficacy.   MFI assumed the Canadian license to Resultz® from Piedmont Pharmaceuticals LLC in August 2012.

“Based on 2014 actual results, the acquisition of the MFI business boosts our net revenues and gross margin by approximately 40% in Canada,” stated Rob Harris, President and CEO of Tribute.  “The MFI business provides Tribute with further product diversification and considering the similarities of our respective corporate structures, significant cost savings will be recognized as well”.  Mr. Harris went on to say, “Dr. Pardeep Nijhawan, founder and CEO and the team at MFI have built a very successful and unique business. Tribute looks forward to continuing to build on this platform, especially in light of the recently announced transaction between Tribute and Pozen, Inc. (see press release dated June 8, 2015) which, when completed will lead to the formation of Aralez Pharmaceuticals plc contemplated later this year.”

On June 8, 2015, Tribute entered into a merger agreement with Pozen, Inc. ("Pozen") valued at approximately US$146 million. Upon completion of the transaction, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2015, subject to satisfaction of various conditions, the combined company will be named Aralez Pharmaceuticals plc ("Aralez"). Upon closing, Aralez is expected to trade on NASDAQ and Toronto Stock Exchange. Adrian Adams, the current CEO of Pozen, Inc. will lead the new company that will include a US$350 million capital commitment from a Deerfield-led syndicate to fund the commercial launch of YOSPRALATM in the US and to pursue strategic acquisitions and growth opportunities in both Canada and the US.

Adrian Adams, CEO of Pozen stated “MFI is a strong fit with the Tribute portfolio, and we congratulate the team on reaching this agreement,” said Adrian Adams, CEO of Pozen and prospective CEO of Aralez.   “Once our companies are combined, Aralez will be focused on aggressive growth throughout North America and specifically in cardiovascular and pain treatments.  MFI will certainly contribute to this strategy.”
