6.05 The Acquisition of Provectus Common Stock. Provectus and PPI understand and agree that the consummation of this Agreement including the issuance of the Provectus Common Stock to PPI in exchange for the PPI Shares as contemplated hereby, constitutes the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act and applicable state statutes. Provectus and PPI agree that such transactions shall be consummated in reliance on exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of such statutes that depend, among other items, on the circumstances under which such securities are acquired.
(a) In order to provide documentation for reliance upon exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements for such transactions, the signing of this Agreement and the delivery of appropriate separate representations shall constitute the parties acceptance of, and concurrence in, the following representations and warranties:
(i) The PPI Stockholders acknowledge that neither the SEC nor the securities commission of any state or other federal agency has made any determination as to the merits of acquiring Provectus Common Stock, and that this transaction involves certain risks.
(ii) The PPI Stockholders have received and read the Agreement and understand the risks related to the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated.
(iii) PPI Stockholders have such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that they are capable of evaluating each business.
(iv) The PPI Stockholders have been provided with copies of all materials and information requested by them or their representatives, including any information requested to verify any information furnished (to the extent such information is available or can be obtained without unreasonable effort or expense), and- the parties have been provided the opportunity for direct communication regarding the transactions contemplated hereby.
(v) All information which the PPI Stockholders have provided to Provectus or their representatives concerning their suitability and intent to hold shares in Provectus following the transactions contemplated hereby is complete, accurate, and correct.
(vi) The PPI Stockholders have not offered or sold any securities of Provectus or interest in this Agreement and have no present intention of dividing the Provectus Common Stock or PPI Shares to be received or the rights under this Agreement with others or of reselling or otherwise disposing of any portion of such stock or rights, either currently or after the passage of a fixed or determinable period of time or on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance.
(vii) The PPI Stockholders understand that the Provectus Common Stock has not been registered, but is being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under the Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes for transactions not involving any public offering and that any disposition of the subject Provectus Common Stock may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with this exemption and may make PPI or Provectus an "underwriter", within the meaning of the Securities Act. It is understood that the definition of "underwriter" focuses upon the concept of "distribution" and that any subsequent disposition of the subject Provectus Common Stock can only be effected in transactions which are not considered distributions. Generally, the term "distribution" is considered synonymous with "public offering" or any other offer or sale involving general solicitation or general advertising. Under present law, in determining whether a distribution occurs when securities are sold into the public market, under certain circumstances one must consider the availability of public information regarding the issuer, a holding period for the securities sufficient to assure that the persons desiring to sell the securities without registration first bear the economic risk of their investment, and a limitation on the number of securities which the stockholder is permitted to sell and on the manner of sale, thereby reducing the potential impact of the sale on the trading markets. These criteria are set forth specifically in rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and, after one year after the date the Provectus Common Stock or PPI Shares is fully paid for, as calculated in accordance with rule 144(d), sales of securities in reliance upon rule 144 can only be made in limited amounts in accordance with the terms and conditions of that rule. After two years from the date the securities are fully paid for, as calculated in accordance with rule 144(d), they can generally be sold without meeting those conditions, provided the holder is not (and has not been for the preceding three months) an affiliate of the issuer.
(viii) The PPI Stockholders acknowledge that the shares of Provectus Common Stock , must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Other than as set forth herein, Provectus is not under any obligation to register the Provectus Common Stock under the Securities Act. If rule 144 is available after one year and prior to two years following the date the shares are fully paid for, only routine sales of such Provectus Common Stock in limited amounts can be made in reliance upon rule 144 in accordance with the terms and conditions of that rule. Provectus is not under any obligation to make rule 144 available except as set forth in this Agreement and in the event rule 144 is not available, compliance with Regulation A or some other disclosure exemption may be required before PPI Stockholders can sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of such Provectus Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act. Subject to compliance with federal and state securities laws, Provectus' registrar and transfer agent will maintain a stop transfer order against the registration of transfer of the Provectus Common Stock held by PPI Stockholders and the certificates representing the Provectus Common Stock will bear a legend in substantially the following form so restricting the sale of such securities:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT") AND ARE "RESTRICTED SECURITIES" WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH RULE 144 IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION OR OTHER COMPLIANCE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
(ix) Subject to compliance with federal and state securities laws, Provectus may refuse to register further transfers or resales of the Provectus Common Stock in the absence of compliance with rule 144 unless the PPI Stockholders furnish Provectus with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to Provectus stating that the transfer is proper. Further, unless such opinion states that the shares of Provectus Common Stock are free of any restrictions under the Securities Act, Provectus may refuse to transfer the securities to any transferee who does not furnish in writing to Provectus the same representations and agree to the same conditions with respect to such Provectus Common Stock as set forth herein. Provectus may also refuse to transfer the Provectus Common Stock if any circumstances are present reasonably indicating that the transferee's representations are not accurate.
(b) In connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, PPI and Provectus shall each file, with the assistance of the other and their respective legal counsel, such notices. applications, reports, or other instruments as may be deemed by them to be necessary or appropriate in an effort to document reliance on such exemptions, and the appropriate regulatory authority in the states where the PPI Stockholders reside unless an exemption requiring no filing is available in such jurisdictions, all to the extent and in the manner as may be deemed by such parties to be appropriate.
(c) In order to more fully document reliance on the exemptions as provided herein, PPI, the PPI Stockholders, and Provectus shall execute and deliver to the other, at or prior to the Closing, such further letters of representation, acknowledgment, suitability, or the like as Provectus or PPI and their respective counsel may reasonably request in connection with reliance on exemptions from registration under such securities laws.
(d) The PPI Stockholders acknowledge that the basis for relying on exemptions from registration or qualifications are factual, depending on the conduct of the various parties, and that no legal opinion or other assurance will be required or given to the effect that the transactions contemplated hereby are in fact exempt from registration or qualification.
6.06 Provectus Liabilities. Immediately prior to the Closing Date, Provectus shall have no material assets and no liabilities in excess of $500, and all expenses related to this Agreement or otherwise shall have been paid.
6.07 Securities Filings. PPI shall be responsible for the preparation of a Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and PPI shall be responsible for a filing of consolidated audited financials in a separate 8-K filing within 60 days from the closing date, and will be responsible for any and all filings in any jurisdiction where its shareholders reside which would require a filing with a governmental agency as a result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
6.08 Sales of Securities Under Rule 144, If Applicable.
(a) Provectus will use its best efforts to at all times satisfy the current public information requirements of rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act so that its shareholders can sell restricted securities that have been held for one year or more or such other restricted period as required by rule 144 as it is from time to tune amended.
(b) Upon being informed in writing by any person holding restricted stock of Provectus as of the date of this Agreement that such person intends to sell any shares under rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (including any rule adopted in substitution or replacement thereof), Provectus will certify in writing to such person that it is in compliance with rule 144 current public information requirement to enable such person to sell such person's restricted stock under rule 144, as may be applicable under the circumstances.
(c) If any certificate representing any such restricted stock is presented to Provectus's transfer agent for registration or transfer in connection with any sales theretofore made under rule 144, provided such certificate is duly endorsed for transfer by the appropriate person(s) or accompanied by a separate stock power duly executed by the appropriate person(s) in each case with reasonable assurances that such endorsements are genuine and effective, and is accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Provectus and its counsel that such transfer has complied with the requirements of rule 144, as the case may be, Provectus will promptly instruct its transfer agent to register such transfer and to issue one or more new certificates representing such shares to the transferee and, if appropriate under the provisions of rule 144. As the case may be, free of any stop transfer order or restrictive legend. The provisions of this Section 6.08 shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for a period of two years.
(d) The shareholders of Provectus as of the date of this Agreement, as well as those receiving Provectus Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.08.
6.09 New Board of Directors and Officers. At the time of closing, the current board of directors and officers of Provectus shall resign and in their place nominees of PPI shall be appointed, subject to the approval of the suitability and qualifications of such nominees.
6.10 Capitalization. For a period of twenty-four months from the Closing Date, Provectus will not engage in any reverse split of its issued and outstanding Common Stock, without the prior written approval of Pacific Management Services, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and which approval shall be granted on the condition that all shares issued by Provectus pursuant to Section 1.01(a) of this Agreement, and all shares issued by Provectus within six months prior to the closing of this Agreement, shall remain undiluted by any reverse split within said twenty-four month period.
6.11 Investment Relations. Within 90 days of the Closing Date, Provectus shall have retained or hired an investment relations ("IR") firm or IR personnel, pursuant to an IR agreement, a copy of which shall be delivered to Pacific Management Services, Inc., upon execution. Failure to retain such IR firm or personnel shall give Pacific Management Services, Inc., the right to loan to Provectus funds for the express purpose of retaining such a firm or personnel on Provectus's behalf and at Provectus's expense, which expense shall not exceed $7,500 per month, and any sums loaned to Provectus shall go immediately to retain and maintain an IR firm, and all funds loaned shall be repaid to Pacific Management Services within 90 days of the receipt of funds, plus interest at the rate of 2% per month. Default in repayment of said funds shall entitle Pacific Management Services to its reasonable costs and attorneys fees incurred in recouping and recovering said funds.
6.12 Rescission Provision. The issuance of the shares to the PPI shareholders pursuant to this Plan of Reorganization as set forth above shall be held in Trust by Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Attorney at Law. If, after the expiration of 30 days following the Closing Date of this Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, $400,000.00 have not been deposited with "Xxxxxxx X.
