Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
On December 13, 2013, the Company entered into a certain Take Over Agreement (the “Take Over Agreement”) with Immunoclin Limited, an England and Wales Corporation (“IMC”), to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of IMC from its founder and sole shareholder, Dorothy Bray, in exchange for the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a fair market value of $20,000,000, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on December 12, 2013. IMC was a healthcare company founded in 2000 with headquarters in the United Kingdom, established initially to address a range of specialized, commercially-focused immunology consulting, testing and assessment, in the context of R&D clinical services. Following the foregoing transaction, IMC established laboratories in London in October 2014 and moved its headquarters to the same location.
Following the foregoing transaction, on December 13, 2013, Chad Johnson was appointed Chief Operating Officer, Secretary and General Counsel of the Company pursuant to the terms of certain Executive Management and Bonus Agreement, dated as of December 13, 2013, as amended to date (the “Executive Management Agreement”). Under the terms and provisions of the Executive Management Agreement, the Reporting Person was granted (i) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock on December 13, 2013 and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock on January 1, 2015. In addition, the Company granted to Chad Johnson two tranches of 500,000 options each to acquire shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.45 per share based upon his participation in the equity incentive programs of the Company, vesting on January 1, 2015 and on July 1, 2015, respectively, and an additional 1,000,000 options to acquire shares of common stock at the same exercise price of $1.45 per share, vesting November 1, 2015. The foregoing options expire on November 1, 2019, November 1, 2019, and November 1, 2020, respectively.
Also, under the terms of the Take Over Agreement, CSJ (as defined below) was issued 30,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (as discussed in Item 5 hereinbelow). CSJ is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Its principal business is managing Chad Johnson’s investment. The principal executive offices of CSJ are located at 1754 Willard Street, NW Unit 3, Washington DC 20009. Chad Johnson is the sole owner and manager of CSJ.

In addition, Chad Johnson is Chief Operating Officer (COO), Secretary and General Counsel of the Company and therefore will continue to participate in incentive programs available to such executive officers of the Company.

(c) | A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer or any of its subsidiaries; |
(d) | Any change in the present board of directors or management of the issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; |
(e) | Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the issuer; |
(f) | Any other material change in the issuer's business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940; |

(a)-(d) The calculations in this Item are based upon 37,413,793 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 24, 2016. Such calculations are made pursuant to Rule l3d-3 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended to date.

The Reporting Person beneficially holds 30,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, held by CSJ Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CSJ”). Chad Johnson is the sole owner and manager of CSJ. The Series A Preferred Stock were issued under the terms and provisions of the Take Over Agreement (as referenced in Item 3 above) and the Control Shareholder Agreement dated as of December 13, 2013 (the “CSA”) by and among Pharma Investing News, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on the one hand, and Castor Management Services, Inc. (“Castor”), BHD Holding B.V. (“BHD”), Dr. Bray, Dr. Benlhassan, and CSJ, on the other hand. Under the terms of the CSA, Castor (or its assignee) was issued 500,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, BHD (or its assigns) – 370,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, and Dr. Benlhassan and CSJ - 100,000 and 30,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, respectively. In turn, BHD, Dr. Benlhassan and CSJ agreed that a total of 130,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock held by Dr. Benlhassan and CSJ were to be voted by BHD along and consistent with BHD’s voting of its own 370,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and thus transferred their voting rights over their respective shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to BHD. In light of this agreement, Dr. Bray, BHD, Dr. Benlhassan and CSJ may be deemed members of a group with respect to the voting of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock held by individual members of such group (the “Series A Group”).
As of the date hereof, there were 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Under the terms of the CSA, Castor and BHD were intended to maintain equal control of voting matters of the Company. Such control was to be implemented by means of a proxy of voting rights to all control shares and upon the written consent of each Castor and BHD. The CSA contemplated, among other things, right of refusal in an event of sale, assignment or other disposition of the subject shares to a third party. Under the terms and provisions of the Take Over Agreement, one share of Series A Preferred stock has 1,000 votes per share on all matters brought before the Company’s shareholders. The members of the Series A Group believe that Castor has materially breached and defaulted under the terms and provisions of the CSA and thus intend to avail themselves of any and all rights and remedies available to such members, jointly and severally, in equity or in law, as a result of said material breaches and defaults.
On December 13, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State that included Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series A Preferred Stock for the purposes of establishing the Series A Preferred Stock as a new class of the Company’s securities (the “Nevada Amendment”). The Nevada Amendment states, in part, that for as long as there are any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, the holders of such shares, voting separately as a class, will have the right to vote on all shareholder matters equal to 51% of the total vote. In addition, for as long as there are any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, the Company will not, without the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding Series A Preferred stockholders, (i) amend, alter or repeal and provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company that may adversely affect the rights or preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) effect reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (iii) designate any additional series of preferred stock that may adversely affect the rights or preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock. Finally, the Nevada Amendment prohibits the Company, without the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding Series A Preferred stockholders, from amending, altering or repealing any provision of the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation; provided, however, that the Company is permitted to make corrective or similar changes to the Certificate of Designations.
The foregoing summaries of the terms of the Take Over Agreement, the CSA and the Executive Management Agreement are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents attached hereto as Exhibits 1, 2 and 3, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Person has not effected any transactions in the securities of the Company in the past sixty days.
The Reporting Person affirms that no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person reported herein.
(e) | Not applicable. |
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Other than as described above, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Person and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, the transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies or any pledge or contingency, the occurrence of which would give another person voting or investment power over the securities of the Company.
