Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
On February 16, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), Capsalus Corp. (“Capsalus”) completed its previously announced acquisition (the “GeneWize Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding capital stock of GeneWize Life Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GeneWize”), from its parent GeneLink, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“GeneLink”).  GeneWize is a direct selling company focused on the marketing of customized genetically-based nutritional and skin care products.
 
Capsalus paid GeneLink cash consideration in an amount equal to $500,000 on the Closing Date.  Capsalus borrowed $500,000 from Gene Elite LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of Capsalus (“Gene Elite”), to make the payment.  The loan bears interest at 10%, is convertible into Capsalus stock at $0.02 per share, and has a warrant attached to purchase 25,000,000 shares of Capsalus common stock at $0.08 per share.  During the period commencing as of the second full calendar month following the Closing Date and ending sixty (60) calendar months thereafter, Capsalus is required to pay GeneLink cash consideration each month equal to the greater of (i) $25,000 and (ii) 10% of GeneWize’s gross revenues generated during such month; provided that the total cash consideration payable by Capsalus pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2011 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and between Capsalus and GeneLink shall not exceed $5,000,000.
 
The description of the Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to Capsalus’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 21, 2011.
 
Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Gene Elite and GeneWize entered into that certain License and Distribution Agreement, pursuant to which GeneLink granted Gene Elite an exclusive license to market and sell certain products in certain channels within an exclusive territory and a non-exclusive license to market and sell certain products in certain channels within a non-exclusive territory.  The License and Distribution Agreement also permits Gene Elite to grant sublicenses to various subdistributors, including Capsalus.  One of the managing members of Gene Elite is a director and major shareholder of Capsalus and therefore Gene Elite may be considered an affiliate of Capsalus.  Pursuant to the License and Distribution Agreement, Gene Elite agreed to pay GeneLink $1,500,000.
 
As a result of the GeneWize Acquisition, GeneWize became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capsalus.  The amount of consideration paid for the acquisition was determined pursuant to arm’s length negotiations between the parties.
 
Item 8.01.  Other Events.
 
On February 16, 2012, Capsalus issued a press release announcing the consummation of the GeneWize Acquisition, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
 
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

CAPSALUS CORP. COMPLETES PURCHASE
OF GENEWIZE LIFE SCIENCES, INC.

Acquires bioscience marketing company specializing in consumer genomics
 
 
ATLANTA – Feb. 16, 2012 – Capsalus Corp. (OTCBB:WELL) has completed the acquisition of the stock  of GeneWize Life Sciences, Inc., the wholly-owned direct-selling subsidiary of GeneLink Biosciences, Inc. (OTCBB:GNLK), a leader in consumer genomics. The deal will provide immediate revenues.
 
Noteworthy participants in this transaction included Fidelity Holdings, Inc., Wharton Equity Partners, and Gene Elite, LLC, a private investor consortium. With their collective involvement, Capsalus plans to bring not only financial support to GeneWize, but also hands-on operational expertise and strategic development opportunities.

Earning the distinction as the first network sales company to focus on providing individually customized nutritional formulations based on a consumer's personal DNA assessment, GeneWize secures Capsalus’ stake in the combined $20 billion market of skin care, weight management and wellness supplements in the U.S.

From the outset, GeneWize is expected to be a key driver in significantly enhancing Capsalus shareholder value in the near term.  What’s more, the acquisition of GeneWize adds to Capsalus’ track record of sourcing opportunities and consummating investments in promising enterprises offering innovative products and services in fast-growing segments of the health and wellness sectors.

“Considering their current outstanding performance in the market combined with our operating capabilities, professional resources and financial support, we are well-positioned for rapid expansion,” said Steven M. Grubner, interim CEO of Capsalus, which provides operating infrastructure, strategic pathways and financial support to developing visionary partners in the health and wellness multi-level marketing arena.

Added GeneWize’s COO Sharon Tahaney, “What we had hoped for when we embarked on this exploration is being realized in terms of overall business optimization potential. With this deal we are bringing together extraordinary science and business expertise to take our company to the next level through a distinctly robust strategy combining consumer genetics with social marketing.”

GeneWize is a significant addition to the family of Capsalus’ companies across the consumer products, healthcare, media and technology industry spectrum, including Wish Upon a Hero, the world’s largest online social helping network, connecting people in need with people who can help; Guava Healthcare, specializing in customized in-home, non-medical and medical staffing and services to clients across the age spectrum, listed among Entrepreneur's “Franchise 500” this year and last; and White Hat Brands, an emerging player in the branded consumer products market.
