Note 8 – Subsequent Events  

 

On May 30, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company and Kaival Labs entered into the GoFire APA with GoFire. Pursuant to the terms of the GoFire APA, the Company and Kaival Labs purchased certain intellectual property assets of GoFire consisting of various patents, patent applications and trademarks  (the “Purchased Assets”) in exchange for equity securities of the Company and certain contingent cash consideration . The Purchased Assets consist of 12 existing patents and 46 pending patents with novel technologies related to vaporization and inhalation technologies . The patents and patent applications cover the U.S. and several international territories. The Purchased Assets also include four registered and two pending trademarks. The Company has determined that the acquisition of the Purchased Assets does not constitute the acquisition of a “business” (as defined in Rule 11-01(d) of Regulation S-X).

  

Pursuant to the terms of the GoFire APA, the Company paid to GoFire, in addition to certain contingent cash consideration described below, consideration in the form of equity securities of the Company consisting of (i) an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “APA Shares”); (ii) 900,000 shares of newly-designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “Series B Preferred Stock” and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred, the “Series B Conversion Shares”), the rights, preferences and terms of which are set forth in a Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock  (the “Certificate of Designation”), and (iii) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant” and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant, the “Warrant Shares”). As additional consideration for the Purchased Assets, any cannabis-specific (meaning cannabis, hemp or cannabinoid) royalties that are generated by Kaival Labs from or due to the Purchased Assets, from the Closing Date until January 1, 2027, will be subject to a contingent cash payment as described in the GoFire APA and subject to the terms of the GoFire APA.

 

Pursuant to the GoFire APA, the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to register the APA Shares and Warrant Shares with the SEC for distribution to GoFire’s stockholders and/or public resale by such stockholders within 180 days of the Closing Date. In addition, if any Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding nineteen (19) months after the Closing Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a subsequent registration statement registering the distribution to GoFire’s stockholders and/or public resale Series B Conversion Shares by such stockholders. If such subsequent registration statement is required, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain effectiveness of such subsequent registration statement within nineteen (19) months of the Closing Date, and if the Company does not so register the Series B Conversion Shares within nineteen (19) months of the Closing Date, the Company will issue to GoFire or its designee an additional ten percent (10%) of all of the Series B Conversion Shares underlying the then-outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

All of the securities issued as consideration for the Purchased Assets are subject to a lock-up agreement that terminates one hundred eighty (180) days from the Closing Date; provided, however, that it is anticipated that the Company’s securities issued in consideration of the purchase of the Purchased Assets will be assigned by GoFire to a trust for the benefit of GoFire’s stockholders. It is anticipated that the agreement governing such trust would require the trust to hold the Company’s securities subject to such lock-up agreement.

  

Terms of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock 

 

The Series B Convertible Preferred  Stock carries no voting rights except: (i) with respect to the ability of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (the “Majority Holders”), to nominate a director to the Company’s board of directors, and (ii) that the vote of the Majority Holders is necessary for effecting any amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of Designation that affects the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Convertible Preferred  Stock is redeemable at the option of the  Company at a redemption price of $15 per share, subject to potential downward adjustments based on the trading price of the Common Stock. Subject to additional limitations in the GoFire APA, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock holds seniority over the Common Stock and each other class of series of securities now existing or hereafter authorized with respect to dividend rights, the distribution of assets upon liquidation, and dissolution and redemption rights . Upon a liquidation and winding up of the Company, the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference of $15 per share (the “Liquidation Preference”), though this price may be adjusted downward based on the trading price of the Common Stock at the time of liquidation. The holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a dividend equal to 2% of the Liquidation Preference, accruing from the Closing Date and payable on the eighteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date. No preemptive rights are granted to the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

The Majority Holders have the ability to cause a voluntary conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock at a conversion rate of 8.3333 shares of Common Stock per share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. All shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert to Common Stock upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the GoFire APA).

 

Terms of the Warrant

 

The Warrant is exercisable for an aggregate of 2,000,000 Warrant Shares for a period of four (4) years from the Closing Date. The exercise price for the Warrant Shares is $3.00, $4.00, $5.00 and $6.00 per share, respectively, for each of four tranches of five hundred thousand (500,000) Warrant Shares. The exercise prices of the Warrant are subject to customary stock-based (but not price-based) adjustments upon the occurrence of stock splits and the like involving the Common Stock. The Warrant is exercisable on a cash basis only, except that the Warrant may be exercised on a “cashless basis” if at the time of exercise there is not an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended covering the public resale of the Warrant Shares.
