Item 1.Fundamental Change 

 

On February 15, 2023, Lee Pharmaceuticals (the “Company”) signed a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire Ronn Motor Group, a Delaware corporation (“RMG”) through a reverse triangular merger. Pursuant to the Agreement, shareholders of RMG will receive shares of Company stock on a 1:1 exchange basis such that (i) each share of RMG Common Stock shall be exchanged for 1.0 share of Company Common Stock; and (ii) each share of RMG Preferred Stock shall be exchanged for 1.0 share of Company Preferred Stock with substantially similar rights and preferences. Upon completion of the share exchange, any fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. As a result of the merger, Company will be the sole shareholder of RMG and RMG shareholders will become shareholders of the Company.

 

The foregoing description of the merger is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1U-1, to this Current Report pursuant to Regulation A on Form 1-U and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Shell Status

 

The Company had previously been identified as a shell company. Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 defines a shell as company with (1) no or nominal operations; and (2) either: (i) no or nominal assets; (ii) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. This is a two-part test that requires satisfaction of both parts for a company to be deemed a shell. In the present case, the Company is conducting significant operations through RMG as RMG continues to develop and expand its technology and product offering in the zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle space. More information about RMG can be found at https://www.ronnmotorgroup.com/. Due to the nature and extent of these operations, the Company is no longer a shell company.

 

Item 4.Changes in Issuer’s Certifying Accountant 

 

In February 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved of a change to the Company’s independent auditor and in so doing, declined to reengage Accell Audit & Compliance, PA (“Accell”) as the Company’s independent auditor. This decision was not based on any disagreements or misunderstandings between the Company and Accell.

 

The audit report of Accell on the financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2021, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such audit report was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for Accell’s explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A letter from Accell was provided to the Company addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it concurs with the statements made by the Company with respect to Accell in this Current Report on Form 1-U. A copy of such letter is furnished hereto as Exhibit 1U-4 with the filing of this Current Report on Form 1-U.

 

On February 23, 2023, the Company engaged Olayinka Oyebola & Co. (“OOC”), as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022.

 

Item 7.Departure of Certain Officers 

 

On February 15, 2023, in conjunction with the acquisition of RMG as described in Item 1 above, John Morgan resigned as President of the Company. Mr. Morgan will continue serving as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and may fill other positions within the Company.
