Information Statement Pursuant to Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

General

 

This information statement is being furnished to all the common stockholders of Sanomedics, Inc. in connection with the action taken by Joint Written Consent of the Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholders (the "Joint Consent") of our outstanding voting securities in lieu of a meeting which authorizes (a) the sale of all of the shares and interest of Sanomedics' wholly-owned subsidiary, Thermomedics, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("THERMO"), to PositiveID Corporation (the "POSID"), a Delaware company, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the "Agreement") which was executed on October 21, 2015,as described in the accompanying proxy materials and, (b) Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the "Amendment"). The Amendment will:

 

 

·

authorize ten million (10,000,000) shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, the voting powers, designations, preferences and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of which may be established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company without approval of the holders of our Common Stock and which may be issued in one or more series.

 

We sometimes refer to the sale of the shares of THERMO and the designation of the new Preferred Stock as the "Corporate Actions."

 

On October 13, 2013 our board of directors approved the THERMO sale and Amendment. In addition, on [ ], 2015 the holders of approximately 51% of our outstanding voting securities, which is in excess of the required majority of our outstanding voting securities necessary for the adoption of the Amendment, executed a written consent approving the THERMO sale and Amendment. The Agreement was executed on October 21, 2015 and is subject to the effectiveness of this Information Statement; although the majority of our voting securities which is controlled by six people approved the sale. A copy of the form of Amendment is attached as Appendix A to this information statement.

 

The elimination of the need for a meeting of stockholders to approve this action is made possible by Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a meeting. In order to eliminate the costs involved in holding a special meeting, our board of directors voted to utilize the written consent of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.

 

Pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we are required to provide prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting of stockholders to all stockholders who did not consent in writing to such action. This information statement serves as this notice. This information statement is first being mailed on or about [·], 2015 to stockholders of record, and is being delivered to inform you of the corporate action described herein before it takes effect in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. No dissenter's rights are afforded to our stockholders under Delaware law as a result of the adoption of the Amendment.

 

Pursuant to the provisions of Rule 14c-2(b) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), the corporate action approved by the Joint Consent cannot become effective until twenty (20) days from the date of mailing of the Definitive Information Statement to our stockholders. This Information Statement shall constitute notice to our stockholders of the above action taken by the Joint Written Consent of the Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholders on October 13, 2015 with respect to the Agreement and the 2015 Amended Articles.

The Company's Business Objective

 

The Company's current business objective is to continue as an operating company in the healthcare sector, by seeking a business combination with an operating company, acquiring assets or other means ("Business Objective"). We intend to use the Company's limited personnel, cash resources and liquidity resulting from the sale of THERMO in connection with fulfilling its Business Objective. The Company will utilize its capital stock, debt or a combination of capital stock and debt, together with its financial resources, in furtherance of its Business Objective.

 

It may be expected that entering into one or more transactions in pursuit of its Business Objective will involve the issuance of restricted shares of capital stock. The issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock or other capital stock that may be convertible into Common Stock:

 

 

·

may significantly reduce the equity interest of our existing stockholders;

 

 

 

 

·

may cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of Common Stock or other capital stock are issued and may also result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and

 

 

 

 

·

may adversely affect the prevailing market price for our Common Stock.

 

 

 

 

·

Similarly, if we issued debt securities, it could result in:

 

 

 

 

·

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination were insufficient to pay our debt obligations;

 

 

 

 

·

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contained covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and any such covenants were breached without a waiver or renegotiations of such covenants;

 

 

 

 

·

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security was payable on demand; and

 

 

 

 

·

our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contained covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security was outstanding.

The Board of Directors determined that the Company and its stockholders would benefit from its receipt of $624,000 in cash and the Preferred Stock totaling $1,626,000, subject to earn-out provisions, to better pursue its Business Objective presented by other business opportunities, notwithstanding the fact that it has not identified any specific business opportunities to date.

PROPOSAL NO. 1: SALE OF THE SHARES OF THERMO, REPRESENTING MAJORITY OF THE SANOMEDICS' ASSETS

 

General Background of Sanomedics

 

On July 1, 2009 we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Sanomedics International Holdings, Inc ("Sano-Nevada"). Sano-Nevada was an entity formed in Nevada in January 2009 which was still in its development stage, seeking to launch a business distributing non-contact thermometers to consumers and health care professionals in the United States. On August 26, 2010 we changed the name of Sano-Nevada to Thermomedics Corporation.

 

Description of Sanomedics's Business

 

Sanomedics' Business

 

Sanomedics International Holdings, Inc. (the "Company", "we", or "us") is a Delaware corporation which is a medical technology holding Company that focuses on disruptive and game changing products, services and ideas – a place where physicians, entrepreneurs, and medical companies can work together to drive innovative technologies through concept, development, and ultimately commercialization. We plan to grow our current business organically and through strategic acquisitions relating to healthcare technology products and services. We seek to acquire innovative medical device companies and/or healthcare related service operating business, such as medical staffing or ambulatory surgical centers that can be included within our organization. We will also seek acquisition and development opportunities related to other aspects in the healthcare marketplace.

 

Background of and Reasons for the Sale of the THERMO Shares

 

Since July, 2009, Sanomedics has been trying to raise the necessary equity capital in the public market to further fund its business since acquiring THERMO, which during development was funded primarily from proceeds received from a former officer and director. At the time of the acquisition, Sanomedics expected that THERMO would generate sufficient cash flow from operations to expand its business operations, which, in fact, was slow to materialize.

 

 
9
 

 

In response to the difficulties in successfully raising sufficient capital to assist THERMO in its continued commercialization to permit to it to compete in the market for thermometer sales, the Board of Directors, beginning in mid-2015, decided to review certain strategic opportunities as they arose and to obtain additional information regarding such opportunities for consideration and evaluation by the Board of Directors.

 

In August 2015, the Board of Directors of Sanomedics discussed its short, mid and long-term financial outlook and the need for additional capital funding to permit Sanomedics to generate positive cash flow from operations and overall profitability. Management indicated to the Board of Directors that THERMO would not be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to expand its business operations in the foreseeable future. At that time, based on management's estimates, management believed THERMO would exhaust its available cash, which was approximately $8,400 at June 30, 2015. Management further discussed the fact that Sanomedics' stock was depressed stock and the market was severely devaluing its holdings of THERMO and as a result it would not be able to raise additional funds to further fund and develop the business of THERMO at terms acceptable to Sanomedics, if at all. The Board of Directors also discussed various strategic options for THERMO, including potential suitors and the interest, if any, by Sanomedics' and THERMO management, to acquire control of THERMO.

 

The Board of Directors of Delta approved, by unanimous written consent dated October13, 2015, the sale of 100% of the shares of THERM to POSID. The Joint Consent of the Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholders approving the Agreement (attached as Exhibit A.1 hereto) was executed on October 13, 2015, the same date that the parties executed and delivered the Agreement (attached as Exhibit A.2 hereto).

 

Fairness of the Process

 

The Board of Directors did not obtain a report, opinion, or appraisal from an appraiser or financial advisor with respect to the sale of all of the shares of THERMO and no representative or advisor was to review or negotiate the transaction or the Agreement. The Board of Directors concluded that the additional expense of these independent appraisal procedures was unreasonable in relation to the Company's available cash resources and concluded that the Board of Directors could adequately establish the fairness of the terms of the Agreement without the engagement of third parties.

 

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to: (i) Sanomedics as a result of the sale of all of the shares of THERMO to POSIF pursuant to the Agreement; and (ii) the holders of Sanomedics' Common Stock who are United States holders (as hereafter defined) as a result of such sale. For these purposes, a "United States holder" is a stockholder that is: (a) a citizen or resident of the United States; (b) a domestic corporation; (c) an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source' or (d) a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust's administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or if the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, Internal Revenue Service rulings, judicial decisions and administrative rulings as of the date of this proxy statement, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, including changes and interpretations with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the tax treatment described in this proxy statement will remain unchanged at the time of such distributions.

 

This discussion is for general information only and may not address all tax considerations that may be significant to a holder of our Common. It does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences or any state, local or foreign tax consequences of Sanomedics' sale of all of the shares of THERMO to POSID. Stockholders subject to special treatment under certain federal income tax laws, including dealers in securities or foreign currency, tax-exempt entities, non-U.S. stockholders, banks, thrifts, insurance companies, mutual funds, persons that hold shares of our stock as part of a "straddle," a "hedge," a "constructive sale" transaction or a "conversion transaction," persons that have "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar, investors in pass-through entities, stockholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, and persons who acquired their shares of our stock upon exercise of stock options or in other compensatory transactions may be subject to special rules not discussed below. This discussion also does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to stockholders who do not hold their shares of our stock as a capital asset. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax consequences.

This discussion has no binding effect on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts and assumes that the sale of assets will be consummated in accordance with the Stock Sale Agreement. No ruling has been requested from the Internal Revenue Service, nor will we seek an opinion of counsel, with respect to the anticipated tax consequences of the sale of assets and the distribution, if any, of the net cash proceeds to the stockholders. If any of the anticipated tax consequences described herein prove to be incorrect, the result could be an increased tax liability at the corporate and/or stockholder level, thus reducing the benefits to us and our stockholders from the sale of assets.

 

Tax Consequences to Sanomedics

 

The sale of the shares to POSID will result in a federal taxable loss of approximately $.6 million to Sanomedics net of intercompany loans and advances. Sanomedics currently has an available federal net operating loss of approximately $8.0 million that can be used to offset any potential taxable gain associated with the share sale.

 

Tax Consequences to our Stockholders

 

Sanomedics does not intent to distribute any cash or property to its stockholders in connection with the Agreement between Sanomedics and POSID. However, if there were any distribution, which are not anticipated, any amounts received by a stockholder as a result of one or more distributions from Sanomedics would be taxed as a dividend to the extent of the stockholder's ratable share of Sanomedics' current and accumulated earnings and profits determined on a consolidated basis.

 

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY STOCKHOLDER. EACH STOCKHOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE SALE OF THE THERMO SHARES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN LAWS AND CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.

 

PROPOSAL NO. 2: AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO

 

AUTHORIZE 10,000,000 SHARES OF BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK

 

Introduction

 

On October 13, 2015, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to authorize 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, the voting powers, designations, preferences and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of which may be established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company without approval of the holders of our Common Stock and which may be issued in one or more series (the "Blank Check Preferred Stock"). Our Board of Directors further directed that this Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation be submitted for consideration by our stockholders. On October 13, 2015, the holders of 15% of our voting stock approved the Amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the Blank Check Preferred Stock. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A.

 

Effective Date of the Creation of the Blank Check Preferred Stock

 

We intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th) day after this Information Statement is sent to our stockholders, a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation creating the Blank Check Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Delaware. This Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation will become effective at the close of business on the date the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of Delaware. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made on or about October [ ], 2015. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A. The text of the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the Delaware Secretary of State.

Reasons for and Effects of Creating Blank Check Preferred Stock

 

Our Board of Directors believes that the availability of authorized but unissued shares of Blank Check Preferred Stock will provide us with the flexibility to issue such securities for a variety of corporate purposes, such as to make acquisitions through the use of stock, to raise equity capital and to reserve additional shares for issuance under stock plans. Our Board believes that the creation of Blank Check Preferred Stock would facilitate our ability to accomplish a variety of business and financial objectives in the future without the necessity of delaying such activities for further shareholder approval, except as may be required in particular cases by our Certificate of Incorporation, applicable law or the rules of any stock market or exchange. 

 

The Amendment would provide us with increased financial flexibility in meeting future capital requirements by providing another type of security, aside from our Common Stock, that would be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by our Board of Directors for any proper corporate purpose. Such purposes include potential acquisitions, and in the future are anticipated to include, without limitation, exchanging preferred stock for Common Stock, the issuance for cash as a means of obtaining capital, or issuance as part or all of the consideration required to be paid for acquisitions of other businesses or assets.

 

Any issuance of preferred stock with voting rights could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and by increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control of the Company. Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of the Board to issue such additional shares of preferred stock, with the rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of the Company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the Board could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to stockholders generally.

 

While the Amendment may have anti-takeover ramifications, the Board believes that the financial flexibility offered by the Amendment outweighs any disadvantages. To the extent that the Amendment may have anti-takeover effects, the Amendment may encourage persons seeking to acquire the Company to negotiate directly with the Board enabling the Board to consider the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves the stockholders' interests.
