	C.	Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by Holder, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the portion of the merger consideration received by Holder pursuant to the Merger Agreement (all such securities, together with any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or into which such securities are exchanged or converted, the “Restricted Securities”), shall become subject to limitations on disposition as set forth in this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

 

1. Lock-Up Provisions.

 

(a) Holder agrees not to, during the period (the “Lock-Up Period”) commencing from the Closing and ending on the earlier of (x) the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing, (y) the first date after the Closing on which the last sale price of MEDS Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which such security is then traded equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, share consolidations, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period commencing at least one hundred fifty (150) days after the Closing, and (z) the date after the Closing on which MEDS or its shareholders consummate a third-party tender offer, stock, sale, liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in holders of at least a majority of MEDS Common Stock having the right to exchange their equity holdings in MEDS for cash, securities or other property; (i) lend, offer, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Securities, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Restricted Securities, or (iii) publicly announce the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Prohibited Transfer”). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder (I) by gift, will or intestate succession upon the death of Holder, (II) to any Permitted Transferee (as defined below), (III) pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union or pursuant to a domestic relations order, (IV) to MEDS in accordance with the requirements of the Merger Agreement, or (V) required by virtue of the laws of Delaware; provided, however, that in the of cases of clauses (I), (II) or (III) it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to MEDS an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holder, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean: (A) the members of Holder’s immediate family (for purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person’s spouse, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents) of such person and his or her spouses and siblings), (B) any trust or charitable organization for the direct or indirect benefit of Holder or the immediate family of Holder, (C) if Holder is a trust, the trustor or beneficiary of such trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, (D) if Holder is an entity, as a distribution to limited partners, shareholders, members of, or owners of similar equity interests in Holder. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by MEDS that are consistent with the foregoing.

 

 

(b) If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and MEDS shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, MEDS may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of Holder (and Permitted Transferees and assigns) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

 

(c) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate or book entry evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JULY 31, 2023, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”), AND THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

 

(d) For the avoidance of any doubt, Holder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of MEDS with respect to the Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities, but subject to the obligations under the Merger Agreement.

 

2. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Effective Date; Termination of Merger Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon Holder upon Holder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall only become effective upon the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and become null and void, and the parties shall not have any rights or obligations related to this Agreement.

 

(b) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and may not be transferred or delegated by Holder at any time. MEDS may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder.

 

 

(c) Third Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the contemplated transactions shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any person or entity that is not a party or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.

(e) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. All actions, suits or proceedings (each an “Action”, and, collectively, “Actions”), arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in New Castle County, Delaware (the “Specified Courts”). Each party (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the contemplated transactions may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 2(d). Nothing in this Section 2(e) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

 

(f) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 2(f).

 

(g) Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (iii) the term “or” means “and/or”. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

 

 

(i) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of MEDS, the Company, and Holder. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

 

(j) Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

 

(k) Specific Performance. Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and MEDS will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, MEDS shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

 

(l) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement, and the Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the parties, and any attempt to do so without such consent shall be void ab initio.

 

(m) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(n) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature or by email in portable document format in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

TRxADE HEALTH, Inc. Announces Closing of Acquisition of Superlatus, Inc.

 

NEW YORK, July 31, 2023 — TRxADE HEALTH, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEDS) (“TRxADE”), a pharmaceutical exchange platform provider, today announced the closing of the previously announced acquisition of Superlatus, Inc. (“Superlatus”), a U.S.-based holding company of food products and distribution capabilities (the “Merger”).

 

Under the terms of the amended and restated agreement and plan of merger, shareholders of Superlatus received (i) 136,441 shares of MEDS common stock, representing 19.99% of the total issued and outstanding MEDS common stock at the closing of the Merger, and (ii) 306,855 shares of a new class of MEDS non-voting convertible preferred stock with a conversion ratio of 100 to one, multiplied by such shareholder’s pro rata percentage ownership.

 

On July 28, 2023, TRxADE issued to the shareholders of TRxADE as of that date, including the independent directors who are entitled to certain amount of MEDS common stock in connection with their 2023 annual compensation and regardless of whether the common stock has been issued or vested before July 28, 2023 (collectively, the “MEDS Rights Shareholders”) a non-transferrable right to receive one share of MEDS common stock at no cost (the “MEDS Rights”), with seven (7) MEDS Rights issued per share of common stock of TRxADE held as of July 28, 2023, conditioned upon their execution of a registration rights agreement. The MEDS Rights are not actionable or transferable until registration; provided they become transferable one year after the date of the merger if no registration has occurred.

 

After the closing of the Merger, TRxADE had regained compliance with the $2,500,000 minimum stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in the Nasdaq’s listing rule 5550(b)(1).

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking statements” within the federal securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future performance or future financial conditions. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about TRxADE and its industry, beliefs and assumptions. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These risks include risks relating to the following: agreements with third parties; our ability to raise funding in the future, as needed, and the terms of such funding, including potential dilution caused thereby; our ability to continue as a going concern; security interests under certain of our credit arrangements; our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market; claims relating to alleged violations of intellectual property rights of others; the outcome of any current legal proceedings or future legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties or others, including proceedings related to the merger documents; and those areas detailed in TRxADE’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. TRxADE undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise that occur after that date, except as otherwise provided by law.
