Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On November 12, 2004, DrugMax, Inc. (“DrugMax”) and Familymeds, Inc. (“FMG”) completed their previously announced merger, pursuant to which FMG was merged with and into DrugMax, with DrugMax as the surviving entity. A copy of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between FMG and DrugMax, dated March 19, 2004, as amended July 1, 2004 and October 11, 2004 (the “Merger Agreement”), was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as an appendix to DrugMax’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, on October 12, 2004 (the “Proxy Statement”).

 

In the merger, the shareholders of FMG (along with certain FMG warrant holders and note holders) received an aggregate of 10,470,507 shares of DrugMax common stock along with warrants to purchase an additional 3,500,090 shares of DrugMax common stock. The exercise price of the warrants is $2.61. In addition, in connection with the merger, DrugMax will issue an aggregate of 663,675 shares of restricted DrugMax common stock, along with options to purchase an additional 1,646,842 shares of DrugMax common stock, to certain employees and directors of FMG. The exercise price of the stock options is $0.57 per share. As a result, the pre-merger DrugMax stockholders as a group, own approximately 40%, and FMG stockholders, employees and directors, as a group, own approximately 60%, of the issued and outstanding shares of DrugMax immediately after the merger, assuming the vesting of all restricted shares and the exercise of all stock options and warrants issued in connection with the merger.

 

Prior to the merger, Jugal K. Taneja, DrugMax’s largest beneficial stockholder prior to the merger, beneficially owned approximately 19% of the total outstanding shares of DrugMax (based upon 8,201,886 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger). Assuming the exercise of all warrants and stock options and the vesting of all restricted stock issued in connection with the merger, Mr. Taneja owns approximately 6% of the total outstanding shares of DrugMax, while ABS Capital Partners III, L.P., the largest stockholder of FMG prior to the merger, and Edgardo Mercadante, FMG’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, own approximately 26% and 6%, respectively, of the total outstanding shares of DrugMax immediately after the merger (based upon 24,483,000 shares of common stock outstanding immediately after the merger, assuming the exercise of all warrants and stock options and the vesting of all restricted stock issued in connection with the merger). Collectively, Jugal K. Taneja, Edgardo Mercadante and William L. LaGamba, DrugMax’s President, beneficially own approximately 4.9 million shares of DrugMax, representing approximately 19% of the total number of shares outstanding immediately after the merger, assuming the exercise of all warrants and stock options and the vesting of all restricted stock issued in connection with the merger.

 

Further, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FMG was entitled to nominate four individuals to the board of directors of DrugMax for consideration by the stockholders of DrugMax at the meeting held on November 12, 2004. The four FMG designees were Edgardo Mercadante, Philip Gerbino, Peter Grua and Laura Witt, all four of whom served on the FMG board of directors. As previously reported, on November 12, 2004, the stockholders elected the foregoing four FMG designees along with Jugal K. Taneja, William L. LaGamba, Mark Majeske and Rakesh Sharma to the DrugMax board of directors. To accommodate the requirements of the Merger Agreement, Robert Loughery, Ronald J. Patrick, Martin Sperber, Howard L. Howell and Sushil Suri were not nominated to serve as directors of DrugMax from and after the date of the merger, and, accordingly, as of November 12, 2004, the date that the new board of directors was elected by the stockholders, they no longer served as directors of DrugMax.

 

Also, at the November 12, 2004 DrugMax stockholder’s meeting, Mr. Mercadante was named Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DrugMax; and Mr. Ribaudo was named Chief Financial Officer of DrugMax. Further, on such date, Mr. Taneja, DrugMax’s former Chief Executive Officer, was appointed as Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. LaGamba was appointed as President and Chief Operating Officer of DrugMax and Mr. Patrick, DrugMax’s former Chief Financial Officer, was appointed as the chief financial officer of Valley Drug Company, a DrugMax subsidiary. In connection therewith, shortly after the merger, each of Messrs. Taneja, LaGamba, Mercadante and Ribaudo are expected to enter into new employment agreements with DrugMax. As those agreements have not yet been negotiated, management cannot at this time predict the terms of those agreements. However, the merger agreement requires that the terms of those employment agreements be negotiated and approved by the post-merger compensation committee of DrugMax and that Mr. Mercadante and Mr. Taneja receive compensation that is substantially similar to one another and that, similarly, Mr. Ribaudo and Mr. LaGamba receive compensation that is substantially similar to one another.

Edgardo A. Mercadante, who is 49 year old, has served as FMG’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President of FMG since 1997. Mr. Mercadante has over twenty-five years of experience in the prescription health care and managed care industries including significant experience in retail pharmacy. Mr. Mercadante was President of Arrow Corporation between the years of 1987 to 1996. He was President and Chief Executive Officer of APP, a pharmacy benefit management company, which he co-founded in 1991. Mr. Mercadante is active in many national and state professional pharmacy organizations.

In that position, Mr. Ribaudo was responsible for managing Dexter’s worldwide accounting and control functions, including planning, reporting and implementation of accounting policy. Prior to becoming Vice President and Controller, Mr. Ribaudo was Treasurer of Dexter. Mr. Ribaudo began his career with PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

In connection with the merger, DrugMax was required to file a new listing application with the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, and, upon the effectiveness of the merger, DrugMax, the surviving company in the merger, was listed and began to trade on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol “DMAXD.” The symbol will return to “DMAX” after approximately 20 days. The symbol was modified to alert the public that a reverse merger had taken place.

 

Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

For accounting purposes, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with FMG as the acquirer. The historical financial statements of FMG will become the historical financial statements of DrugMax, and the assets and liabilities acquired of DrugMax by FMG will be accounted for as required under the purchase method of accounting. Results of operations of DrugMax will be included in the financial statements from November 12, 2004, the effective date of the merger.

 

Prior to the merger, FMG, the accounting acquirer, retained Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) as its independent accountants. On November 12, 2004, the newly appointed members of the audit committee of the board of directors of DrugMax approved the retention of D&T as the independent accountant of the merged company. During the two years prior to the merger, DrugMax had retained BDO Seidman, LLP (“BDO”) as its independent accountants. As a result of the foregoing, BDO will not continue to serve as the independent accountant of DrugMax.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period prior to engaging D&T, DrugMax did not consult with D&T regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on DrugMax’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject matter of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and related instructions) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

The reports of BDO on DrugMax’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 did not contain a disclaimer of opinion or an opinion that was adverse or was qualified or modified for uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle. Furthermore, during those fiscal years and through the subsequent period ending on November 12, 2004, there were no disagreements with BDO on matters of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or audit scope or procedure which, if not resolved to BDO’s satisfaction, would have caused BDO to refer to the subject matter of the disagreements in their report. In addition, during those fiscal years, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except as follows:

 

As reported in DrugMax’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004, in connection with the completion of its audit of, and the issuance of an unqualified report on, DrugMax’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, BDO communicated to DrugMax’s Audit Committee that the following matters involving DrugMax’s internal controls and operation were considered to be “reportable conditions,” as defined under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA:

 

  Processes relating to account analysis and reconciliations including lack of timely management review, which contributed to fourth quarter adjustments relating to inventories, accounts receivable and accounts payable; and

 

  DrugMax’s recognition of accruals in connection with litigation.

 

Reportable conditions are matters coming to the attention of the independent auditors that, in their judgment, relate to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls and could adversely affect DrugMax’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the financial statements. In addition, BDO has advised DrugMax that they consider these matters, which are listed above, to be “material weaknesses” that, by themselves or in combination, result in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement in DrugMax’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected by its employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), for the second quarter ended September 30, 2004, DrugMax once again carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of DrugMax’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2004. Although DrugMax continues to make improvements, as of September 30, 2004, DrugMax’s then Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that deficiencies identified by BDO continue to cause DrugMax’s disclosure controls and procedures not to be effective at a reasonable assurance level. However, the then CEO and CFO noted that DrugMax continues to remedy the deficiencies identified by BDO and did not note any other material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in DrugMax’s disclosure controls and procedures during their evaluation. DrugMax continues to improve and refine its internal controls. This process is ongoing, and includes the following:

 

1. DrugMax decided to convert its operating divisions to new accounting software and an integrated networked computerized system linking all divisions, which will roll up financial information on a real-time basis. The implementation of that process began during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and is expected to be completed by December 31. 2004. DrugMax believes this conversion will provide more timely operating information, a more efficient system of checks and balances to assure accurate reporting of detailed transactions, and more efficient month-end closing procedures to provide a comprehensive internal review before financial information is considered final. DrugMax’s accounts payable detailed ledger at Valley Drug Company is not fully integrated to the general ledger system, which has caused large amounts of reconciling items. Management believes this issue will be significantly improved with the conversion to the new integrated accounting system. As a result of the efficiencies of the new system, DrugMax’s controllers will have appropriate time to better analyze cutoff and other detailed transactions in order to assure the proper processing of its accounts payable and other accounting functions.

 

2. DrugMax has reorganized its credit and collection functions and previously hired a Vice President of Asset Management to assist in the granting of credit to customers or potential customers. Recently, more independent pharmacies, which are a significant part of DrugMax’s core business, have incurred financial difficulties, as indicated by the number of recent bankruptcies by such pharmacies. As a result, DrugMax’s credit policy is being reviewed and restructured.

 

3. DrugMax improved its control over morgue inventory during the fourth quarter of 2004 in connection with the relocation of Valley Drug Company to its new warehouse facility. In the future DrugMax will be taking frequent physical inventory counts to properly record quantities in the morgue inventory at Valley. In addition, DrugMax has hired a full-time warehouse clerk assigned to manage the movement of the morgue inventory.

 

4. Management continues to evaluate the number of personnel involved in the accounting and finance function of DrugMax. Due to the acquisitions made by DrugMax over the past three years and pressures on operations resulting from competition, shrinking margins and regulatory matters, management is reassessing its existing personnel and resources to address its internal control and operational requirements. This is an ongoing process.

 

On November 18, 2004, DrugMax authorized BDO to respond fully to the inquiries of D&T concerning the foregoing matter and requested that BDO provide DrugMax with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by DrugMax in response to this item and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. BDO’s letter was unavailable at the time this Form 8-K is being filed and will be filed in by an amendment to this Form 8-K within 10 days of the filing of this Form 8-K.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws: Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On November 12, 2004, the stockholders of DrugMax, Inc. also approved:

 

  A proposal to adopt an amendment to the DrugMax amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of DrugMax common stock from 24,000,000 to 45,000,000;

 

  A proposal to adopt an amendment to the DrugMax amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of DrugMax preferred stock from 2,000,000 to 5,000,000;

 

  A proposal to adopt an amendment to the DrugMax amended and restated certificate of incorporation to provide for mandatory indemnification by DrugMax of its directors and officers and permissive indemnification of its employees and agents; and

 

  A proposal to adopt an amendment to the DrugMax amended and restated certificate of incorporation to limit the personal liability of a director to DrugMax or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of duty as a director to the amount of compensation, if any, received by the director for serving DrugMax as a director during the year in which the breach of duty occurred.

 

Accordingly, also on November 12, 2004, DrugMax filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to effect the foregoing amendments to DrugMax’s articles of incorporation. Also on November 12, 2004, DrugMax adopted amended and restated bylaws, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2.

 

Also on November 12, 2004, the board of directors of DrugMax converted DrugMax’s fiscal year end from March 31 to a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31.

Exhibit 3.2

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED

BYLAWS

OF

DRUGMAX, INC.

a Nevada corporation

(Adopted November 12, 2004)

 

ARTICLE I - OFFICES

 

1. Business Offices. DrugMax, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Corporation”), may have such offices, either within or without the State of Nevada, as the Board of Directors may designate from time to time. The Corporation shall designate an office as its “principal office” in accordance with Nevada law.

 

2. Registered Office. The Corporation shall have and continuously maintain a registered office in the State of Nevada, which may be changed from time to time by the Board of Directors or by an Officer of the Corporation so authorized by the Board of Directors.

 

ARTICLE II - SHAREHOLDERS

 

1. Annual Meeting. The Corporation shall hold an Annual Meeting of the Shareholders for the election of Directors and for the transaction of any proper business. The Annual Meeting of Shareholders shall be held at such time and on such date as the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall determine from time to time but not later than thirteen (13) months after the last Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The failure to hold it at the designated time does not affect the validity of any corporate action and shall not work as a forfeiture of or dissolution of the Corporation.

 

2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Shareholders may be called by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors and shall be called if the holders of not less than Ten Percent (10%) of the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed meeting sign, date and deliver a written demand or several such written demands for the special meeting describing the purpose or purposes for the meeting to the Corporation’s Secretary. Only business within the purpose or purposes described in the special meeting notice may be conducted at such special meeting.

 

3. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any place either within or without the State of Nevada as the place of meeting for any Annual Meeting or for any special meeting of the Shareholders. If no designation is made, then the place of the meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation.

 

4. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the place, date, and time of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by first class mail, by or at the direction of the President or the Secretary of the Corporation or the persons calling the meeting to each Shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed delivered upon deposit in the United States mail, with postage prepaid, addressed to the Shareholder at the address specified in the Corporation’s stock transfer records.

 

5. Notice of Adjourned Meeting. Notice of an adjourned meeting is necessary only if the new place, date and time are not announced at the meeting from which the adjournment is taken or a new record date is fixed for the reconvening of the meeting. At the adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting.

 

6. Waiver of Notice. A Shareholder may waive any notice required by statute, the Articles of Incorporation, or Bylaws before or after the date and time stated in the notice. The waiver must be in writing, be signed by the Shareholder entitled to the notice, and be delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of the Shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice. A Shareholder’s attendance at a meeting waives

 

10


objection to (a) lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the Shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting or (b) consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the Shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

 

7. Record Date Determinations. The Board of Directors may fix the record date for one or more voting groups in order to determine the Shareholders entitled (a) to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, (b) to demand a special meeting, (c) to receive any distribution or (d) to take any other action. Such a record date must be a date after the date upon which the Board of Directors made the record date determination. The record date cannot be more than seventy (70) days before the meeting or action requiring a determination of Shareholders. A determination of Shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a Shareholders’ meeting is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

 

8. Quorum. Unless otherwise required in the Articles of Incorporation, one-third of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of Shareholders. When a specified item of business is required to be voted on by a class, series of stock, or voting group, one-third of the shares of such class, series or voting group shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such item of business by that class, series or voting group. This quorum requirement can be changed only by an amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation. After a quorum has been established, the subsequent withdrawal of Shareholders, so as to reduce the shares represented at the meeting below the number required for the original quorum, does not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting.

 

9. Voting. Each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of Shareholders. If a quorum exists at a meeting of Shareholders, (a) action on a matter, other than the election of Directors, is approved if the votes cast by the holders of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless a greater number of affirmative votes or voting by classes is required by law; and (b) action on a matter, other than the election of Directors, by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless a greater number of affirmative votes is required by law.

 

10. Proxies. A Shareholder, other person entitled to vote on behalf of a Shareholder pursuant to law, or a Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact may vote the Shareholder’s shares in person or by proxy. A Shareholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for him by signing an appointment form, either personally or by his attorney-in-fact. An executed telegram or cablegram appearing to have been transmitted by such person, or a photographic, photostatic or equivalent reproduction of an appointment form, is a sufficient appointment form. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the corporate officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes. An appointment is valid for up to eleven (11) months unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment form. An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the Shareholder, except as otherwise provided by law.

 

11. Action by Shareholders Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of Shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if the action is taken by the holders of shares of each voting group entitled to vote thereon having not less than the minimum number of votes with respect to each voting group that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a duly constituted meeting. In order to be effective, the action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, dated and signed by approving Shareholders having the requisite number of votes of each voting group entitled to vote thereon, and delivered to the Corporation’s principal office in Nevada, its principal place of business or its officer or agent having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Shareholders are recorded. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the date of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this section, written consents signed by the number of holders required to take action are delivered to the Corporation in the manner required by this section. Such a written consent has the effect of a meeting vote.

 

Any written consent, once given, may be revoked prior to the date that the Corporation receives the required number of consents to authorize the proposed action. No revocation is effective unless in writing and until received by the Corporation at its principal office in Nevada or its principal place of business, or received by the corporate officer or agent having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Shareholders are recorded.

 

11


Notice of such action must be given to those Shareholders who have not consented in writing or who are not entitled to vote on the action within ten (10) days after obtaining such authorization by written consent. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action be such for which dissenter’s rights are provided by law, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of the Shareholders dissenting therefrom to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with the provisions of Nevada law regarding the rights of dissenting shareholders.

 

12. Shareholders’ List for Meeting. After fixing a record date for a meeting, the Corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all its Shareholders who are entitled to notice of a Shareholders’ meeting, arranged by voting group with the address of, and the number and class and series, if any, of shares held by each. The Shareholders’ list must be available for inspection by any Shareholder for a period of ten (10) days prior to the meeting or such shorter time as exists between the record date and the meeting and continuing through the meeting at the Corporation’s principal office, at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held, or at the office of the Corporation’s transfer agent or registrar. A Shareholder or his agent or attorney is entitled on written demand to inspect the list, during regular business hours and at his expense, during the period it is available for inspection; provided that such demand is made in good faith and for a proper purpose, the purpose is described with reasonable particularity and the list is directly connected with the purpose.

 

The Corporation shall make the Shareholders’ list available at the meeting, and any Shareholder or his agent or attorney is entitled to inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment. The Shareholders’ list is prima facie evidence of the identity of Shareholders entitled to examine the Shareholders’ list or to vote at a meeting of Shareholders.

 

ARTICLE III - DIRECTORS

 

1. Powers. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation managed under the direction of, its Board of Directors, subject to any limitation set forth by law or in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.

 

2. Number, Tenure and Qualifications. The number of Directors on the Board of Directors shall be seven (7). Each Director shall hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation, removal by Shareholders or death. Directors must be natural persons who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. Directors need not be residents of Nevada or Shareholders of the Corporation.

 

3. General Standards for Directors. A Director shall discharge his duties as a Director, including his duties as a member of any committee of the Board of Directors upon which he may serve, (a) in good faith, (b) with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances, and (c) in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Corporation. In discharging his duties a Director shall be entitled to rely upon information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by: (i) one or more officers or employees of the Corporation whom the Director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; (ii) legal counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters that the Director reasonably believes are within the person’s professional or expert competence; or (iii) a committee of the Board of Directors of which he is not a member if the Director reasonably believes the committee merits confidence.

 

In discharging his duties, a Director may consider such factors as the Director deems relevant, including but not limited to the long-term prospects and interests of the Corporation and its Shareholders, and the social, economic, legal, or other effects of any action on the employees, suppliers, customers of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, the communities and society in which the Corporation or its subsidiaries operate, and the economy of the state and the nation.

 

12


A Director is not acting in good faith if he has knowledge concerning the matter in question that makes reliance otherwise permitted by this section unwarranted.

 

A Director is not liable for any action taken as a Director, or any failure to take any action, if he performed the duties of his office in compliance with this section.

 

4. Election of Directors. At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote for the election of Directors. If the election of Directors is not held on a day designated in these Bylaws for any Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may cause the election to be held at a special meeting of Shareholders specifically called for that purpose. Between Annual Meetings of the Shareholders, the Board of Directors may elect additional persons to serve as members of the Board of Directors from time to time, as it determines advisable.

 

5. Regular Annual and Quarterly Meetings. The annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held without notice immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual election of Directors. The Board of Directors shall, from time to time, by resolution appoint the time and place, either within or without the State of Nevada, for holding regular quarterly meetings of the Board, and other regular meetings of the Board if by it deemed advisable; and such regular meetings shall thereupon be held at the time and place so appointed, without the giving of any notice with regard thereto. In case the day appointed for a regular meeting shall fall upon a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of Nevada, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the State of Nevada, at the regularly appointed hour.

 

6. Special Meeting. Special meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held whenever called by the Chief Executive Officer or any two Directors. Special meetings may be held within or without the State of Nevada. Notice of a special meeting must be given at least two (2) days prior to the date of the meeting by written notice delivered personally, by mail, telegram, telecopy or nationally recognized overnight courier service (such as Federal Express, Airborne, UPS, Emory or Purolator) to each Director at his address. Such notice shall be effective upon the earliest of (a) receipt, (b) five days after its deposit in the United States mail, as evidenced by the postmark, if mailed postpaid and correctly addressed, or (c) the date shown on the return receipt or other evidence of delivery, if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or overnight courier service, and the delivery receipt is signed by or on behalf of the addressee. Such written notice shall include the date, time and place of the meeting. The notice of a special meeting need not describe the purpose of the special meeting.

 

7. Notice of Adjourned Meeting. Notice of any adjourned meeting shall be given to the Directors who were not present at the time of the adjournment and, unless the date, time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the time of the adjournment, to the other Directors also.

 

8. Waiver of Notice. A Director can waive the requirement of notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors by signing a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting. The attendance of a Director at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of such meeting and a waiver of any and all objections to the time or place of the meeting or the manner in which it has been called or convened, except when a Director states, at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival at the meeting, any objection to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

9. Quorum and Voting. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the number of Directors prescribed by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting. A majority of the Directors present at a meeting, whether or not a quorum exists, may adjourn the meeting to another time and place. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting, if a quorum is present at the time of such vote, shall be the act of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the following actions may only be taken by the Board if two-thirds of the total Directors serving at such time (rounded up in the case of a fraction) approve of the action:

 

(i) amend, alter or repeal this Article III Section 9 of the Bylaws;

 

13


(ii) issue any shares of stock of the Company, other than (A) shares issued in connection with the exercise of options and warrants that existed on or prior to June     , 2004, (B) shares issued in connection with the exercise of options and warrants that were issued in connection with the Company’s merger with Familymeds Group, Inc., a Connecticut corporation, (C) shares issued in connection with the exercise of options issued under the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan and (D) restricted shares issued under the Company’s Restricted Stock Plan;

 

(iii) pay or declare any dividend on any stock of the Company;

 

(iv) merge or consolidate the Company with or into any other person, or sell substantially all of its assets or business to any other person;

 

(v) acquire the assets or stock of any other business with a value in excess of $5,000,000; or

 

(vi) enter into any transaction involving a liquidation, dissolution, winding up or similar reorganization of the Company.

 

The Board of Directors may permit any or all Directors to participate in a regular special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through any use of, any means of communication by which all Directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A Director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

 

11. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by all the Directors. The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken and signed by each Director. The action is effective when the last Director signs a consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. Such a consent has the effect of a meeting vote.

 

12. Director Conflicts of Interest. No contract or other transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its Directors or any other corporation, firm, association, or entity in which one or more of its Directors are directors or officers or are financially interested shall be either void or voidable because of such relationship or interest, because such Director or Directors are present at the meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof which authorizes, approves or ratifies such contract or transaction, or because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (a) the fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the Board of Directors or committee which authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction by a vote or consent sufficient for the purpose without counting the votes or consents of such interested Directors; (b) the fact of such relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the Shareholders entitled to vote to authorize, approve or ratify the contract or transaction under this Section 12 and they authorize, approve or ratify such contract or transaction by vote or written consent; or (c) the contract or transaction is fair and reasonable as to the Corporation at the time it is authorized by the Board of Directors, a committee, or the Shareholders.

 

For the purposes of Director action pursuant to this Section 12, a conflict of interest transaction is authorized, approved or ratified if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors on the Board of Directors who have no relationship or interest in such transaction, but a transaction may not be authorized, approved or ratified under this Section 12 by a single Director. If a majority of the Directors who have no such relationship or interest in the transaction vote to authorize, approve or ratify the contract or transaction, a quorum is present for the purpose of authorizing, approving or ratifying the contract or transaction for purposes of this Section 12.

 

For the purposes of Shareholder action pursuant to this Section 12, shares owned by or voted under the control of a Director who has a relationship or interest in the contract or transaction may not be counted in a vote of Shareholders to determine whether to authorize, approve or ratify a contract or transaction under this Section 12. A majority of the shares, whether or not present, that are entitled to be counted in the vote on the contract or transaction constitutes a quorum for the purpose of taking action under this Section 12.

 

Notwithstanding approval pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12, unless otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the authorization, approval or ratification of a contract or transaction by the Board of Directors also must comply with Section 9 of these Bylaws, including the requirements for determining a quorum under such Section.

 

14


13. Compensation of Directors. The Board of Directors may fix the compensation of Directors. Each Director may be paid a stated salary as such or a fixed sum for the attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, or both, and may be reimbursed for his expenses of attendance at each such meeting. The Board of Directors may also pay to each Director rendering services to the Corporation not ordinarily rendered by Directors, as such, special compensation appropriate to the value of such services, as determined by the Board of Directors from time to time. None of these payments shall preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefore. The Board of Directors may determine the compensation of a Director who is also an Officer for service as an Officer as well as for service as a Director.

 

14. Resignations. A Director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board of Directors or its Chairman or to the Corporation. A resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date. If a resignation is made effective at a later date, the Board of Directors or Shareholders may elect a successor of such Director before the effective date if the Board of Directors provides that the successor does not take office until the effective date.

 

15. Removal of Directors. The Shareholders may remove one or more Directors with or without cause. If a Director is elected by a voting group of Shareholders, only the Shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove him. A Director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove him exceeds the number of votes not to remove him. A Director may be removed by the Shareholders at a meeting of the Shareholders, provided the notice of the meeting states that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is removal of the Director.

 

ARTICLE IV - COMMITTEES

 

1. Creation. The Board of Directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board of Directors, designate from among its members an Executive Committee and one or more other committees each of which, to the extent provided in such resolution, shall have and may exercise all the authority of the Board of Directors, except that no such committee shall have the authority to: (a) approve or recommend to Shareholders actions or proposals required by law to be approved by the Shareholders; (b) fill vacancies on the Board of Directors or any committee thereof; (c) adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws; (d) authorize or approve the reacquisition of shares unless pursuant to a general formula or method specified by the Board of Directors; (e) authorize or approve the issuance or sale or contract for the sale of shares, or determine the designation and relative rights, preferences, and limitations of a voting group except that the Board of Directors may authorize a committee to do so within the limits specifically prescribed by the Board of Directors.

 

Each committee must have two or more members who serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board of Directors, may designate one or more Directors as alternate members of any such committee who may act in the place and stead of any absent member or members at any meeting of such committee.

 

2. Operation. The sections of these Bylaws that govern meetings, notice and waiver of notice, quorum and voting, and action without a meeting requirements of the Board of Directors apply to committees and their members as well.

 

ARTICLE V - OFFICERS

 

1. Officers. The Officers of the Corporation shall include a Chief Executive Officer; Chief Operating Officer and President; Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President and Treasurer; and Secretary. Other Officers may be elected by the Board of Directors from time to time. A duly elected Officer may appoint one or more Officers or assistant officers, if authorized to do so by the Board of Directors. The same individual may simultaneously hold more than one office in the Corporation.

 

15


2. Election and Term of Office. As far as practicable, the Officers of the Corporation shall be elected at the regular meeting of the Board of Directors following the annual election of Directors. If the election of Officers is not held at such meeting, the election shall be held as soon thereafter as conveniently may be. Each Officer shall hold office until the regular meeting of the Board of Directors following the annual election of Directors in the next subsequent year and until his successor shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified, or until his earlier resignation, removal from office or death.

 

3. Resignation and Removal. An Officer may resign at any time by delivering notice to the Corporation. A resignation is effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date. If a resignation is made effective at a later date and the Corporation accepts the future effective date, the Board of Directors may fill the pending vacancy before the effective date if the Board of Directors provides that the successor does not take office until the effective date.

 

The Board of Directors may remove any Officer at any time with or without cause. Any Officer or assistant officer, if appointed by another Officer, may likewise be removed by such Officer.

 

The appointment of an Officer does not itself create contract rights. An Officer’s removal does not affect the Officer’s contract rights, if any, with the Corporation. An Officer’s resignation does not affect the Corporation’s contract rights, if any, with the Officer.

 

4. Vacancies. A vacancy in any office because of resignation, removal, death or otherwise, may be filled by the Board of Directors for the unexpired portion of the term.

 

5. Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer shall be the chief executive officer of the Corporation, and, under the direction of the Board of Directors, shall have general responsibility for the overall management, strategic plan and direction of the business, properties, assets and affairs of the Corporation. He shall have general executive powers, including all powers required by law to be exercised by a president of a corporation as such, as well as the specific powers conferred by these Bylaws or by the Board of Directors.

 

6. Chief Operating Officer and President. The Chief Operating Officer and President shall have general charge of the operations of the Corporation, subject to the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors. In the absence of the Chief Executive Officer or in the event of his death, inability or refusal to act, the Chief Operating Officer and President, shall perform the duties of the Chief Executive Officer and, when so acting, shall have all the powers of, and be subject to all the restrictions upon, the Chief Executive Officer.

 

7. Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President and Treasurer. The Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President and Treasurer shall be the chief financial officer of the Corporation and (a) have charge and custody of, and be responsible for, all funds and securities of the Corporation; (b) receive and give receipts for moneys due and payable to the Corporation from any source whatsoever, and deposit all such moneys in the name of the Corporation in such banks, trust companies or other depositaries as the Board of Directors may select; and (c) in general perform all of the duties as from time to time may be assigned to him by the Chief Executive Officer or by the Board of Directors. If required by the Board of Directors, the Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President and Treasurer shall give a bond for the faithful discharge of his duties as Treasurer in such sum and with such surety or sureties as the Board of Directors shall determine.

 

8. Secretary. The Secretary shall (a) prepare minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors and Shareholders; (b) authenticate records of the Corporation; (c) keep the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors and the Shareholders in one or more books provided for that purpose; (d) see that all notices are duly given in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws or as required by law; (e) be custodian of the corporate records and of the seal of the Corporation and see that the seal of the Corporation is affixed to all documents the execution of which on behalf of the Corporation under its seal is duly authorized; (f) be the registrar of the Corporation and keep a register of the post office addresses of all Shareholders that shall be furnished to the Secretary by the Shareholders; (g) have general charge of the stock transfer books of the Corporation; and (h) in general perform all duties incident to the office of Secretary and such other duties as from time to time may be assigned to him by the Board of Directors.

 

16


9. Salaries. The salaries of the officers shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors and no officer shall be prevented from receiving such salary by reason of the fact that he is also a Director of the Corporation.

 

ARTICLE VI - SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER

 

1. Certificates for Shares. Shares may but need not be represented by certificates. Unless otherwise provided by law, the rights and obligations of Shareholders are identical whether or not their shares are represented by certificates. Certificates representing shares of the Corporation shall be in such form as shall be determined by the Board of Directors. Each certificate for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. Each share certificate must state on its face (a) the name of the Corporation and that the Corporation is organized under the laws of Nevada; (b) the name of the person to whom issued; and (c) the number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, the certificate represents. Each share certificate (i) must be signed either manually or in facsimile by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if any, the President or a Vice President and the Secretary, Treasurer or an assistant Secretary or Treasurer and (ii) may bear the corporate seal or its facsimile.

 

If the Corporation is authorized to issue different classes of shares or different series within a class, the designations, relative rights, preferences, and limitations applicable to each class and the variations in rights, preferences, and limitations determined for each series must be summarized on the front or back of each certificate. Alternatively, each certificate may state conspicuously on its front or back that the Corporation will furnish the Shareholder a full statement of this information on request and without charge.

 

Any certificate representing shares that are restricted as to the sale, disposition, or other transfer of such shares, shall also state that such shares are restricted as to transfer and shall set forth or fairly summarize on the front or back of the certificate, or shall state that the Corporation will furnish to any Shareholder on request and without charge, a full statement of such restrictions.

 

2. Transfer of Shares. If a certificated security in registered form is presented to the Corporation with a request to register transfer or an instruction is presented to the Corporation with a request to register transfer, pledge, or release, the Corporation shall register the transfer, pledge, or release as requested if: (a) the security is indorsed or the instruction was originated by the appropriate person or persons; (b) reasonable assurance is given that those indorsements or instructions are genuine and effective; (c) the Corporation has no duty as to adverse claims or has discharged the duty; (d) any applicable law relating to the collection of taxes has been complied with; and (e) the transfer, pledge, or release is in fact rightful or is to a bona fide purchaser.

 

3. Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificated Securities. If a certificated security has been lost, apparently destroyed, or wrongfully taken, and the owner fails to notify the Corporation of that fact within a reasonable time after he has notice of it and the Corporation registers a transfer of the security before receiving notification, the owner is precluded from asserting against the Corporation any claim for registering the transfer or any claim to a new security.

 

If the owner of a certificated security claims that the security has been lost, destroyed, or wrongfully taken, the Corporation shall issue a new certificated security or, at the option of the Corporation, an equivalent uncertificated security in place of the original security if the owner (a) so requests before the Corporation has notice that the security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser; (b) files with the Corporation a sufficient indemnity bond; and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Corporation.

 

ARTICLE VII - BOOKS, RECORDS AND REPORTS

 

1. Books and Records. The Corporation shall keep as permanent records minutes of all meetings of its Shareholders and Board of Directors, a record of all actions taken by the Shareholders or Board of Directors without a meeting, and a record of all actions taken by a committee of the Board of Directors in place of the Board of Directors on behalf of the Corporation. The Corporation shall maintain accurate accounting records. The Corporation or its agent shall maintain a record of its Shareholders in a form that permits preparation of a list of the names and addresses of all Shareholders in alphabetical order by class of shares showing the number and series of shares held by each.
