Overview

 

We have designed and developed, and now own and operate, a business-to-business web-based marketplace focused on the US pharmaceutical industry. Our core service brings the nation’s independent pharmacies and accredited national suppliers of pharmaceuticals together to provide efficient and transparent buying and selling opportunities.

 

Our services provide pricing transparency, purchasing capabilities and other value-added services on a single platform focused on serving the nation’s approximately 22,000 independent pharmacies with annual purchasing power of $78 billion (according to the National Community of Pharmacists Association’s 2018 Digest). Our national wholesale supply partners are able to fulfill orders on our platform in real-time and provide pharmacies with cost-saving payment terms and next-day delivery capabilities in unrestrictive states under the Model State Pharmacy Act and Model Rules of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (Model Act). We have expanded significantly since 2015 and now have over 11,725 registered pharmacy members purchasing products on our sales platform.

 

Our Principal Products and Services and their Markets.

 

Trxade.com is a web-based pharmaceutical marketplace engaged in promoting and enabling commerce among independent pharmacies and large pharmaceutical suppliers nationally. Our marketplace has hundreds of suppliers providing over 20,000 branded and generic drugs available for purchase by pharmacists. We already serve over 11,725 independent pharmacies with access to our proprietary pharmaceutical database, data analytics regarding medication pricing, and manufacturer return policies. We generate revenues from these services by charging a transaction fee to the seller of the products for sales conducted via our Trxade platform. The buyers do not bear the cost of transaction fees for the purchases which they make, nor do they pay a fee to join or register with our platform. Substantially all of our revenues since 2017, were from platform revenue generated on www.Trxade.com. For additional information, please visit us at http://www.trxadegroup.com, http://www.trxade.com, and http://www.delivmeds.com, information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Information contained on, or accessible through, our websites is not a part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this prospectus.

 

Status of new products or services.

 

We have a number of products and services still in development, which are described below.

 

InventoryRx.com. InventoryRx, launched in the first quarter of 2014, is a web-based pharmaceutical exchange platform where wholesalers can buy and sell pharmaceuticals or over-the-counter medications with each other in a systematized online sales platform. The site offers these trading partners’ greater product availability and pricing transparency. The site may also substantially improve our customers buying efficiency and lower their cost of goods on a continuous basis. This product is built into the Trxade.com platform and, accordingly, we have not generated any independent revenue from this product.

 

Pharmabayonline. We formed Pharmabayonline to provide proprietary pharmaceutical data analytics and governmental reimbursement benchmarks analysis to United States-based independent pharmacies and pharmaceutical databases.

 

 2 
 

 

RxGuru. Our RxGuru application was launched in the first quarter of 2014 and underscores our commitment to deliver timely information to our customers at the moment before purchase. Our industry leading price prediction model, “RxGuru”, integrates product insight into pharmacy acquisition cost benchmarks (“PAC”) to ascertain trends and pricing variances which result in significant purchasing opportunities. “RX Guru” helps to predict prices and affords our members an opportunity to continuously benefit from real price purchasing opportunities that are often concealed from the rest of the industry. This product is built into the Trxade.com platform and, accordingly, this application works in conjunction with the Trxade platform but, to date, has not generated any independent revenue.

 

Integra Pharma Solutions, LLC. Integra is intended to serve as our logistics company for pharmaceutical distribution.

 

Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC. We acquired CSP on October 15, 2018. CSP is an accredited pharmacy located in St. Petersburg, Florida and focuses upon specialty medications. The company operates with an innovative pharmacy model which offers home delivery services to any patient thereby providing convenience.

 

Delivmeds.com. Delivmeds.com was launched in late 2018 as a consumer-based app to provide delivery of pharmaceutical products associated with Alliance Pharma Solutions, LLC. To date, we have not generated any revenue from this product.

 

Bonum Health, LLC. Bonum was formed to hold certain telehealth assets acquired in October 2019. The “Bonum Health Hub” was launched in November 2019 and was expected to be operational in April 2020; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, at present the Company does not anticipate installations moving forward until 2021 at the earliest. The hub is a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA)-compliant booth planned to be installed at select independent pharmacies, with technology that connects patients to board-certified medical care through the Bonum Health mobile app and website portal. The Bonum Health mobile application is also available on a subscription basis, primarily as a stand-alone telehealth software application that can be licensed on a business-to-business (B2B) model to clients as an employment health benefit for the clients’ employees.

 

All of our product offerings are focused on the United States markets. Some products are restricted just to certain states, depending upon the various applicable state regulations and guidelines pertaining to pharmaceuticals, particularly, and drug businesses, generally. Our services are distributed through our online platform and Bonum Health Hubs.

 

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the infectious disease known as COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” on January 30, 2020 and a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. In March and April, many U.S. states and local jurisdictions began issuing ‘stay-at-home’ orders. For example, the state of Florida, where the Company’s principal business operations are, issued a ‘stay-at-home’ order effective on April 1, 2020, which remained in place, subject to certain exceptions, through June 2020, when the order was gradually lifted. Since that time the U.S., and Florida in particular, has seen rapid increases in the spread of COVID-19. It is currently unclear whether the state of Florida, or other jurisdictions in which we operate, will issue new or expanded ‘stay-at-home’ orders, or how those orders, or others, may affect our operations.

 

To date, we have been deemed an essential healthcare technology provider under applicable governmental orders based on the critical nature of the products we offer and the community we serve. As shown in our results of operations below, we have to date, not experienced any significant material negative impact to our operations, revenues or gross profit due to COVID-19. We have however experienced reductions to, and interruptions in, the delivery of supply chain pharmaceuticals that we anticipate will have a negative impact on our wholesalers and certain technology outsourcing in India and the Philippines due to the pandemic, which may become more frequent or material in the future. We are carefully managing our inventories while we work to overcome these hopefully temporary challenges. As a result of the above and other unknown issues associated with the pandemic, our sales and operating results may be adversely impacted in the coming months. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations currently cannot be estimated and will depend on a number of factors including the scope and duration of the global pandemic.

 

 3 
 

 

Since the start of the pandemic, we have taken steps to prioritize the health and safety of our employees. The Company’s employees started working remotely around March 17, 2020, and our corporate office is currently planned to be closed through December 31, 2020, at the earliest, unless the current situation improves.

 

Currently we believe that we have sufficient cash on hand and will generate sufficient cash through operations to support our operations for the foreseeable future; however, we will continue to evaluate our business operations based on new information as it becomes available and will make changes that we consider necessary in light of any new developments regarding the pandemic.

 

Again, although COVID-19 has had a major impact on businesses around the world, to date, we have thankfully been mostly spared from any negative impact of the pandemic. However, the future impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations is currently unknown. The pandemic is developing rapidly and the full extent to which COVID-19 will ultimately impact us depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the virus, as well as potential seasonality of new outbreaks.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

As a company with less than $1.07 billion in revenue during our last completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These reduced reporting requirements include:

 

  an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;
     
  an exemption from compliance with any requirement that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, may adopt regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements;
     
  reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;
     
  an exemption from the requirements to obtain a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or stockholder approval of any golden parachute arrangements;
     
  extended transition periods for complying with new or revised accounting standards; and
     
  the ability to present more limited financial data, including presenting only three years of selected financial data in the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) the end of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates is at least $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the last day of the end of our 2024 fiscal year (5 years from our first public offering). We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of the available benefits under the JOBS Act.

 

 4 
 

 

We are choosing to irrevocably “opt out” of the extended transition periods available under Section 107 of the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards, but we currently intend to take advantage of the other exemptions discussed above. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you invest.

RISK FACTORS

 

Before making an investment decision, you should consider the “Risk Factors” discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained under Item 1A of Part I of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, and under “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of Part II of our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as the same may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by our subsequent filings and reports under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), each of which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. For more information, see “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.” The market or trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks. In addition, please read “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus, where we describe additional uncertainties associated with our business and the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

The securities offered herein are highly speculative and should only be purchased by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. You should carefully consider the aforementioned risk factors that are incorporated herein by reference and other information in this prospectus before deciding to become a holder of our Common Stock. The risks and uncertainties described in these incorporated documents and herein are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be negatively affected to a significant extent. In that event, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our Common Stock.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

This reoffer prospectus covers the reoffer and resale by the selling stockholders listed below of an aggregate of up to 217,965 shares of our Common Stock previously issued under the Plan, which constitute “restricted securities” or “control securities” within the meaning of Form S-8.

 

The following table sets forth, as of August 14, 2020 (the “Date of Determination”), the number of shares beneficially owned by each current selling stockholder. The number of shares in the column “Shares Beneficially Owned Prior to the Offering” represents the total number of shares that a selling stockholder currently owns or has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of the Date of Determination. The number of shares in the column “Number of Shares Being Offered” represents all of the shares that a selling stockholder may offer under this reoffer prospectus. The table and footnotes assume that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares listed in the column “Number of Shares Being Offered.” However, because the selling stockholders may sell all or some of their shares under this reoffer prospectus from time to time, or in another permitted manner, we cannot assure you as to the actual number of shares that will be sold by the selling stockholders or that will be held by the selling stockholders after completion of any sales. We do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares before selling them. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. The selling stockholders have not had a material relationship with us within the past three years other than as described in the footnotes to the table below or as a result of their acquisition of our shares or other securities.

 

Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and changed information will be presented in a supplement to this reoffer prospectus, if and when necessary and required. If, subsequent to the date of this reoffer prospectus, we grant additional awards to the selling stockholders or to other affiliates under the Plan, we may supplement this reoffer prospectus to reflect such additional awards and the names of such affiliates and the amounts of securities to be reoffered by them.

 

Based on 8,062,337 shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as of the date of this reoffer prospectus.

 

The address of each selling stockholder is c/o Trxade Group, Inc., 3840 Land O’ Lakes Boulevard, Land O’ Lakes, Florida 34639, unless otherwise indicated.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Each selling stockholder of the securities and any of its transferees, distributees, pledgees or donees or their successors may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange/NASDAQ;
     
  privately negotiated transactions;
     
  settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
     
  in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

 

 8 
 

 

  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  a combination of any such methods of sale; or
     
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

If the selling stockholder effects such transactions by selling shares of our Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the Form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder or commissions from purchasers of our Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).

 

From time to time, one or more of the selling stockholders may distribute, devise, gift, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them. Any such distributees, devisees or donees will be deemed to be selling stockholders. Any such pledgees, secured parties or persons to whom the securities have been hypothecated will, upon foreclosure in the event of default, be deemed to be selling stockholders.

 

The selling stockholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of our Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the securities is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed, reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

The selling stockholder may choose not to sell any or may choose to sell less than all of our Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this reoffer prospectus forms a part.

 

The selling stockholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholder and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of our Common Stock.

 

We will pay the expenses of the registration of our Common Stock sold by the selling stockholders, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees, compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that the selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. As and when we are required to update this reoffer prospectus, we may incur additional expenses.

 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this reoffer prospectus forms a part, our Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates. We have notified the selling stockholders of the need to deliver a copy of this reoffer prospectus in connection with any sale of the shares.

 

In order to comply with certain state securities laws, if applicable, the shares may be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In certain states, the shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. Sales of shares must also be made by the selling stockholders in compliance with all other applicable state securities laws and regulations.

 

In addition to any shares sold hereunder, selling stockholders may, at the same time, sell any shares of Common Stock owned by them in compliance with all of the requirements of Rule 144, regardless of whether such shares are covered by this reoffer prospectus.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) authorizes a corporation’s Board of Directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors, and other corporate agents.

 

Pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation:

 

  A director of the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or as it may hereafter be amended, not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exception from liability is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended; and
     
  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company is authorized to provide indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, such agents of the Company (and any other persons to which Delaware law permits the Company to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, subject only to limits created by applicable Delaware law (statutory or non-statutory), with respect to actions for breach of duty to the Company, its stockholders and others.

 

Section 145 of the DGCL, provides, among other things, that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made, party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were or are a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, provided further that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.

 

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person under Section 145.

 

The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, any provision of our amended and certificate of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we shall not be obligated to indemnify a director or officer in respect of a proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such director or officer, unless such proceeding (or part thereof) has been authorized by the Board of Directors pursuant to the applicable procedure outlined in the amended and restated bylaws.

 

 II-2 
 

 

Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held jointly and severally liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

 

The Company’s policy is to enter into separate indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers that provide the maximum indemnity allowed to directors and executive officers by Section 145 of the DGCL and also to provide for certain additional procedural protections. The Company also maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance to insure such persons against certain liabilities. These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.

 

Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed

 

The shares of our Common Stock that may be reoffered and resold by the selling stockholders pursuant to the reoffer prospectus included herein were granted by the Company under the Trxade Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and were deemed to either be (1) exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, or (2) issued under a no-sale theory.

 

Item 8. Exhibits

 

Reference is made to the attached Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 9. Undertakings

 

(a) The Company hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the Form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

 II-3 
 

 

However, paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, our company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
