FORM OF EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.2
FORM OF EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of March 19, 2020, by and between XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [ ] (the “Investor”).
WHEREAS:
A. Pursuant to that certain [ ], dated as of [ ], by and among the Company and the investors party thereto (the “Agreement”), the Investor and certain other investors (the “Other Investors” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”) received, among other securities, warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) as set forth therein (the “Warrant Shares”);
B. The Company and the Investor desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, at the Closing (as defined below), and subject to receipt of the approval of the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) and the receipt of the approval of the shareholders of the Company to increase the Company’s authorized shares pursuant to its certificate of incorporation (collectively, the “Shareholder Approval”), the Company and the Investor shall exchange the Warrants held by the investor at the Closing as determined pursuant to Section 1(a) below; and
C. The exchange of the Warrants for the securities to be issued pursuant to Section 1(a) below are each being made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. | EXCHANGE. |
(a) Exchange. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions with respect to the Closing set forth in Sections 4 and 5 below, at the Closing the Investor and the Company shall, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, exchange the Warrants for a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares and (ii) 1.5; provided, however, that if the Base Share Price (as defined in the Warrants) is greater than the average the two lowest VWAPs during the five (5) trading days prior to the receipt of Shareholder Approval (the “Average VWAP”), then, for purposes of this Section 1(a), the number of Warrant Shares shall equal the quotient resulting from (x) the aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants), divided by (y) the Average VWAP; provided, further, however, that in no event shall such Average VWAP be less than $0.01 (the “Floor Price”), and it being understood that if the Average VWAP is less than the Floor Price, the Average VWAP shall be equal to the Floor Price (the “Exchange”). For example, if the Holder presently holds Warrant Shares to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock and the Base Share Price is equal to $0.20 and the Average VWAP is equal to $0.05, the Holder will exchange the Warrant Shares for 6,000 shares, which is equal to the product of (i) 4,000 shares and (ii) 1.5. Notwithstanding anything herein, if the Investor would otherwise beneficially own in excess of any beneficial ownership limitation applicable to the Investor after giving effect to the Exchange, the Investor’s Warrants shall be exchanged for a number of Shares issuable to the Investor without violating the applicable beneficial ownership limitation and the remainder of the Investor’s Warrants shall automatically convert into pre-funded warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the applicable beneficial ownership limitation (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). The form of pre-funded warrant is set forth as Exhibit A.
For purposes of this Section 1(a), “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a trading market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on a trading market but is then reported on the OTC Pink Marketplace maintained by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the first such facility (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), or (c) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Investor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
i. Closing. The issuance of the Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants, as the case may be (the “Closing”), shall occur at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., 000 0xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000. The date and time of the Closing shall be 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the first (1st) Business Day on which the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 4 and 5 below are satisfied or waived (or such later date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and each Investor) (the “Closing Date”). If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Shares within 2 trading days of the date on which the conditions set forth in Sections 4 and 5 are satisfied or waived, or, as to shares underlying Pre-Funded Warrants within 2 trading days of the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Company shall pay to the Investor, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares or underlying shares subject to such delivery obligation (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date hereof as to Shares and of the applicable Notice of Exercise as to shares underlying Prefunded Warrants), $10 per trading day (increasing to $20 per trading day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each trading day after the applicable due date until such shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Investor.
ii. Consideration. At the Closing, the Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants shall be issued to the Investor in exchange for the Warrants without the payment of any additional consideration.
iii. Delivery. In exchange for the Warrants, the Company shall, at the Closing, (i) cause American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (together with any subsequent transfer agent, the “Transfer Agent”) through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to credit the Shares to the Investor’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system and (ii) if applicable, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor Pre-Funded Warrants. As of the Closing Date, all of the Investor’s rights under the Warrants shall be extinguished.
(b) Other Documents. The Company and the Investor shall execute and/or deliver such other documents and agreements as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the Exchange.
