The Actions were approved by Written Consent on August 7, 2019, by our Board of Directors and a majority of holders of our voting capital stock, in accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law. Our directors and majority of the stockholders of our outstanding capital stock, as voted through a unanimous vote of our Series A Preferred Stock, have approved the Actions after carefully considering them and concluding that approving the Actions was in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders.

The Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, and the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by the Company during the past year with the Securities and Exchange Commission may be viewed on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s web site at www.sec.gov in the Edgar Archives.

You may make a written or oral request by sending a written notification to our principal executive offices stating your name, your shared address, and the address to which we should direct the additional copy of the information statement or by emailing our office or by calling our principal executive offices at (631) 670-6777. If multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of this information statement and would prefer us to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may send notification to or call our principal executive offices.

VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL 

In accordance with the Delaware Corporation General Law, the following actions were taken based upon the unanimous recommendation and approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and the written consent of the majority voting control of the stockholders.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted, ratified and approved the Actions. The securities that are entitled to vote to adopt the Actions consist of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value Series A Preferred Stock outstanding on September 24, 2019, the record date for determining stockholders who are entitled to notice of and to vote on the proposed amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

 

The Board of Directors, and persons owning a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company have unanimously adopted, ratified and approved the proposed Actions by the Company’s Board of Directors. No other votes are required or necessary.

 

 6 

 

 

Pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws and the Delaware Corporation General Law, a vote by the holders of at least a majority of the Company’s outstanding votes is required to effect the Actions. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation does not authorize cumulative voting. As of the record date, the Company had 388,553,890 (not including 10 million shares held in treasury) voting shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The consenting stockholders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to 51% of the total votes. Mr. Salerno is the sole holder of Series A Preferred Shares and thus holds the majority of our outstanding voting power. The consenting stockholders of Series A Preferred Stock, Mr. Salerno, voted in favor of the Actions described herein in a unanimous written consent, dated August 7, 2019.

 

On August 2, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company issued 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to its Chief Executive Officer, John Salerno, in consideration for his services to the Company for the past two years without salary. The Series A Preferred Stock, when combined with the existing holdings of the Company’s common stock, gives him an aggregate of 51% of the votes eligible to be cast by all stockholders with respect to all matters brought before a vote of the stock holders of the Company, which gives him effective voting control over the Registrant’s affairs.

 

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

The Board of Directors fixed the close of business on September 24, 2019 as the record date for the determination of the common and preferred stockholders entitled to notice of the action by written consent.

 

At the record date, the Company had 800,000,000 shares of common stock authorized with a stated par value of $0.001, of which approximately 388,553,890 (not including 10 million shares held in treasury) million shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, excluding warrants, options and shares estimated for the conversion of notes and 100 million shares of authorized preferred stock, no par value, of which 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding. The holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted upon by stockholders.  The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a vote equal to 51% of all matters brought before the common stockholders, and therefore, have majority voting control.

 

All of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, as of the record date, have consented to the proposed Actions. These stockholders have consented to the Merger, the Reverse Stock Split, the Name Change, the Incentive Plan, and the Bylaws. This consent was sufficient, without any further action, to provide the necessary stockholder approval of the action.

 

BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ RECOMMENDATION

AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL

 

In accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), on August 7, 2019, our Board of Directors voted to authorize and seek approval of our stockholders of the Merger, the Reverse Stock Split, the Name Change, the Incentive Plan, the Bylaws and the Ratification of Appointment of Directors. In the absence of a meeting, the affirmative consent of holders of a majority of the vote represented by our outstanding shares of Series A Stock was required to approve the Merger, the Reverse Stock Split, the Name Change, the Incentive Plan, the Bylaws and the Ratification of Appointment of Directors.  Because holders of all shares of Series A Stock signed a written consent in favor of the Merger, the Reverse Stock Split, the Name Change, the Incentive Plan, the Bylaws and the Ratification of Appointment of Directors, adopt the Merger, amend the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split and Name Change, to adopt the Incentive Plan and to adopt the Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Merger, the Reverse Stock Split, the Name Change, the Incentive Plan, the Bylaws and the Ratification of Appointment of Directors cannot be effectuated until twenty (20) days after the mailing of this Information Statement. The Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change Amendment will be effective upon the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which is expected to occur as soon as reasonably practicable on or after the 20th day following the mailing of this Information Statement to stockholders.

 

The information contained in this Information Statement constitutes the only notice we will be providing stockholders.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING THE ACTIONS

The following questions and answers are intended to briefly address commonly asked questions as they pertain to the Actions. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you as a Company stockholder. Please refer to the “Summary” beginning on page 1 and the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this Information Statement, the annexes to this Information Statement and the documents referred to or incorporated by reference in this Information Statement, each of which you should read carefully.

Q.       What is the proposed transaction and what effects will it have on the Company?

A. On August 8, 2019, iGambit, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“iGambit”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Clinigence Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Clinigence”), iGambit, iGambit’s wholly owned subsidiary, HealthDatix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and John Salerno, an individual and holder of iGambit shares constituting a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by all of the stockholders of iGambit (the “Signing Stockholder”).

The proposed transaction is the Merger of the Merger Sub with Clinigence pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Once the closing conditions under the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or waived and subject to the other terms and conditions in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of iGambit, will merge with and into Clinigence. Clinigence will be the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of iGambit and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease. iGambit shall change its name to Clinigence Holdings, Inc.

Q.       What will iGambit Stockholders retain in the Merger?

A. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time of the Merger, Clinigence stockholders will receive a number of newly issued shares of iGambit common stock determined using the exchange ratio described below in exchange for their shares of Clinigence stock.

 8 

 

 Following the Merger, stockholders of Clinigence will become the majority owners of iGambit.

At the Effective Time, all outstanding shares of Clinigence common stock will be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of iGambit common stock such that the holders of outstanding equity of Clinigence immediately prior to the Effective Time will own approximately 85%, on a fully-diluted basis, of the outstanding equity of iGambit immediately following the Effective Time, and holders of outstanding equity of iGambit immediately prior to the Effective Time will own approximately 15%, on a fully-diluted basis, of the outstanding equity of iGambit immediately following the Effective Time, which ratio we refer to herein as the “Exchange Ratio.”

Q. When do you expect the Merger to be completed?

A: Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and a subsequent amendment, the Merger must be consummated by the outside date of November 30, 2019 which may be further extended by the parties, and the Merger will become effective at such time as a certificate of merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, unless a later date is specified therein.

 

Q: What happens if the Merger is not completed?

 

A: If the Merger is not completed for any reason, iGambit will remain an independent public company, its common stock will continue to be listed and traded on OTC Pink Marketplace and registered under the Exchange Act and iGambit will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC. 

 

Q: Is the Merger subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions?

A: Yes. Before the Merger can be completed iGambit and Clinigence must fulfill or, if permissible, waive several closing conditions. If these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger will not be completed. See “The Merger Agreement — Closing Conditions of the Merger” beginning on page 20.

 

Q: What happens to Options and Warrants if the Merger is completed?

A: At the Effective Time, each Option and Warrant, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will remain outstanding immediately following the Effective Time.

 

Q: Why is iGambit effecting the Reverse Stock Split?

A. The Reverse Stock Split of iGambit’s issued and outstanding common stock will be effected by a ratio of not less than one-for-one hundred and not more than one-for-five hundred, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range as determined by iGambit’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

 

iGambit’s Board of Directors believes that the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interest of iGambit. A Reverse Stock Split typically will initially result in an increase in the price per share of iGambit’s common stock. The Board believes that an increased stock price may encourage investor interest and improve the marketability and liquidity of iGambit’s common stock. In addition, iGambit may in the future seek a listing on a national exchange, for which a higher stock price than the current price will be required. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage firms and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers and investors. iGambit’s Board of Directors believes that the anticipated higher market price resulting from a Reverse Stock Split may reduce, to some extent, the negative effects on the liquidity and marketability of the common stock inherent in some of the policies and practices of institutional investors and brokerage firms described above. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of iGambit’s common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher.

 

Prior to the Effective Time, iGambit will effect the Reverse Stock Split.

 

 9 

 

 

Q: What happens to Options and Warrants if the Reverse Stock Split is completed?

 

 A: At the Effective Time, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of the Common Stock, which will result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid for such options and warrants upon exercise of such options warrants immediately preceding the reverse stock split. 

 

Q: Why is iGambit changing the name of iGambit after the effective date of the Merger to “Clinigence Holdings, Inc.”?

 

A: Further to the Merger Agreement, the name of iGambit will become “Clinigence Holdings, Inc.” after the Effective Date of the Merger. An amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation is required to effect the Name Change. The board of directors believes that changing the name of the combined company to Clinigence Holdings, Inc. better reflects the future direction and focus of the combined company.

 

Q: Did the Board approve and recommend the Merger?

 

A: Yes. In its review the Board consulted with its management, legal and financial advisors, and reviewed a significant amount of information and considered a number of factors, including, among others, the following factors: (i) the information Clinigence provided regarding its technology, products and services, management experience and potential competitive position; (ii) the financial, operational, businesses and strategic objectives of Clinigence; (iii) the willingness of Clinigence to lend funds to iGambit prior to the Merger to pay off iGambit’s short term convertible debt and to be used for working capital; (iv) the current target markets proposed by Clinigence; (v) the consideration to be received by iGambit’s stockholders for the Merger; (vi) the terms, conditions and obligations of the Merger Agreement; (vii) possible alternative strategies and prospects for iGambit as an independent company and (viii) the financial condition and future prospects for iGambit.

 

Specifically, the iGambit Board considered that iGambit has not been able to adequately fund its HealthDatix subsidiary and achieve sustaining revenue. This merger with Clinigence presented the opportunity to achieve revenue through synergistic products and common target market customers. The iGambit Board also considered that Clinigence's management has extensive experience in the health technology and related industry.

 

The iGambit Board further considered that Clinigence’s management has extensive experience in the successful growth and expansion of healthcare related companies in the public arena, most significantly, Clinigence’s Chairman, Dr. Warren Hosseinion’s success with Apollo Medical Holdings (NASDAQ: AMEH). 

 

Q: What happens if a third party makes an offer to acquire the Company before the Merger is completed?

 

A: If a third party makes an unsolicited, written bona fide Acquisition Proposal to the Company prior to Closing, the Company may, negotiate and discuss such proposal with the third party under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement. If the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a Superior Proposal and the Company notifies Clinigence, and complies with certain additional requirements in the Merger Agreement, including, if requested by Clinigence, negotiating with Clinigence during a period of ten (10) business days, so that Clinigence has the opportunity to submit a matching or topping proposal, and Clinigence does not submit a matching or topping proposal during such ten (10) business day period, then the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement. In which case the Company must (i) pay Clinigence $400,000, (ii) reimburse Clinigence all out of pocket expenses incurred by Clinigence in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, and (iii) repay the balance and accrued interest outstanding on the promissory note in favor of Clinigence, the total sum amount of which shall be due and payable immediately upon such termination.

 

 10 

 

 

Q: Should I send in my Company Common Stock certificates now?

 

A: No. Please do NOT return your Company Common Stock certificate(s) to the Company.  As of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, each certificate representing shares of iGambit common stock before the Reverse Stock Split would be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the reduced number of shares of iGambit’s common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split.

 

iGambit’s transfer agent will be available to effect the exchange of stock certificates. After the Effective Date, stockholders and holders of securities exercisable for iGambit’s common stock will be notified of the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. Persons who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or “street name” will not be required to take any further actions to effect the exchange of their shares. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered any outstanding certificates to the transfer agent. Until surrendered, each certificate representing shares before the Reverse Stock Split will continue to be valid and will represent the adjusted number of shares based on the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificate and should not submit any certificates until after the Reverse Stock Split has become effective.

 

Q: Will I owe taxes as a result of the Reverse Stock Split?

 

A: No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon his or her exchange of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares for post-Reverse Stock Split shares. The aggregate tax basis of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares received (including any fraction of a new share deemed to have been received) will be the same as the stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged therefor. The stockholder’s holding period for the post- Reverse Stock Split shares will include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Q: Why is iGambit adopting the Incentive Plan?

 

A: The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to increase our ability to attract and retain talented employees, consultants and directors and thereby enhance our growth and profitability. Under the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, options to purchase common stock, including incentive stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity-based compensation, may be awarded to directors, officers, employees, consultants or other agents. Stockholder approval of the Incentive Plan is required for purposes of compliance with certain exclusions from the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code

 

Prior to the execution of the Effective Time, iGambit will adopt the Incentive Plan.

 

Q: Why is iGambit adopting the Bylaws?

 

A: The Bylaws were drafted to address a number of DGCL and general corporate governance related developments since the original Bylaws were adopted over nineteen years ago. The adoption of the Bylaws will result in greater flexibility in permitting management to complete and carry out certain corporate actions with Board approval and without the need to seek stockholder approval, where such approval is not required by the DGCL, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or other applicable state and Federal securities laws. An advantage to the adoption of the Bylaws is that time and expense associated with seeking stockholder approval by a public reporting company that results from the need to prepare and file a proxy statement prior to carrying out certain corporate actions can be avoided.

Q: Why am I not being asked to vote on the Actions?

 

A: In accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law on August 7, 2019, our Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholder approved the Actions, subject to shareholder approval. On September 24, 2019 Mr. John Salerno, the sole holder of Series A Preferred Shares and thus holder of the majority of our outstanding voting power, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved the Actions.

 

Q: Why did I receive this Information Statement?

 

A: Applicable laws and securities regulations require us to provide you with notice of the Written Consent that was delivered by the Majority Stockholders, as well as other information regarding the Actions, even though your vote or consent is neither required nor requested to adopt or authorize the Actions.

 

Q: Do I have appraisal rights?

 

A: Neither the Delaware General Corporate Law nor our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws provide our Stockholders with appraisal rights in connection with the Actions discussed in this Information Statement.

 

Q: Who is paying for the Information Statement?

 

A: The Company will pay for the delivery of this Information Statement.

 

Q: What is householding and how does it affect me?

 

A: The SEC permits companies to send a single set of certain disclosure documents to stockholders who share the same address and have the same last name, unless contrary instructions have been received, but only if the applicable company provides advance notice and follows certain procedures. In such cases, each stockholder continues to receive a separate set of disclosure documents. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save significant printing and postage costs as well as natural resources.

 

If you received a householded mailing and you would like to have additional copies of this Information Statement mailed to you, or you would like to opt out of this practice for future mailings, please submit your request to the Company by phone at (631) 670-6777 or by email to info@igambit.com or by mail to iGambit, Inc., 1050 W. Jericho Tpke. Ste.A, Smithtown, NY 117877. We will promptly send additional copies of this Information Statement upon receipt of such request.

If the Merger is not completed for any other reason, iGambit will remain an independent public company, its common stock will continue to be listed and traded on OTC Pink Marketplace and registered under the Exchange Act and iGambit will continue to file periodic reports with the SEC.

If the Merger is not completed, there can be no assurance as to the effect of these risks and opportunities on the future value of your shares of iGambit’s common stock. If the Merger is not completed, iGambit’s board of directors will continue to evaluate and review iGambit’s business operations, properties, dividend policy and capitalization, among other things, make such changes as are deemed appropriate and continue to seek to identify strategic alternatives to enhance stockholder value. If the Merger is not completed for any other reason, there can be no assurance that any other transaction acceptable to iGambit will be offered or that iGambit’s business, prospects or results of operation will not be adversely impacted.

Background of the Merger

After the acquisition of our HealthDatix FL subsidiary, we encountered several setbacks in customer contracts not ramping up quick enough, and difficulty with getting our BioDatix health band technology completed in a timely manner with our Asian manufacturing partners. Although we made substantial strides with our backend platform and wearable medical technology, as well as built a good distribution pipeline, the Board of iGambit recognized that revenue will still take considerable time to gain significant traction and funding on-going operations was going to be increasingly more difficult.

The Board of iGambit undertook a strategic review of alternatives to improve revenues and to enhance shareholder value which contemplated a number of alternatives.

The Board determined that one alternative was to merge with a healthcare technology company with revenue and the potential to expand the product offerings and shareholder value.

In connection with these activities, in May 2018, one of iGambit’s advisors introduced iGambit to their Chronic Care Management (CCM) partner company interested in merging with a public entity. During an initial conference call with the CCM company, the CCM’s financial consultant (the “Consultant”) participated in the call. Certain synergies were identified, and it was determined that discussions should continue. On May 16, 2018, iGambit signed a consulting agreement with a twelve (12) month term with Consultant to assist the Company in advising of potential merger partners and developing corporate partnering relationships, provide introductions to professional analysts and money managers and assist the Company in financing arrangement, among other services.

On May 29, 2018, the Consultant, the principal of the CCM company, and a financial analyst came to iGambit’s office to meet with iGambit’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Executive Vice President and General Counsel, and an advisor to the Board. Preliminary discussions began regarding the structure of a potential merger with the CCM company. Between May 29, 2018 and June 14, 2018, several additional meetings and conference calls were held outlining a potential deal. On June 14, 2018, iGambit and the CCM entered a Letter of Intent (LOI) to merge. One of the terms of the LOI, was that the CCM would secure a minimum of $2,000,000 in equity financing for the merged companies. Upon signing of the LOI mutual due diligence commenced and the Consultant began the financing efforts. Several funding resources were identified. Funding was delayed because the funding resources were waiting for a certain potential customer contract to be signed. The contract was signed in September 2018, and on September 7, 2018, an Amended LOI was executed in anticipation of funding being secured. Unfortunately, the funding was further delayed, as the contract did not guarantee sufficient enough sustaining recurring revenue in the near term, and pursuant to the contract revenue would not start ramping up until close to 2020. Acknowledging that the CCM financing and merger was taking too long, and appeared unlikely to close in a timely manner, iGambit began aggressively seeking out other options.

In September 2018, iGambit began discussions with a small group of independent investors. After several meetings in Florida with our HealthDatix subsidiary management team, this group became interested in investing in iGambit. In November 2018 they were in the process of another financial transaction that was expected to close in the ensuing sixty (60) to ninety (90) days. In December 2018, this group informed us that they want to invest some of the proceeds of this transaction into iGambit. On December 3, 2018, they signed a term sheet to invest a minimum $1,000,000 to a maximum of $3,000,000 into iGambit. Unfortunately, the closing of their other financing transaction has been continually delayed.

Simultaneously, in December 2018, one of iGambit’s stockholders, introduced iGambit to a third-party administrator (TPA) of healthcare services who was looking to possibly merge with a public company. On December 28, 2018, a member of our HealthDatix management, along with the stockholder, and a potential investor met with the TPA’s CEO. Discussions began regarding how the two companies could work together and type of transaction that could take place. Between December, through April 23, 2019, several meetings, conference calls and discussions of potential terms of a transaction occurred. Although discussions continued, the TPA was never able to come up with a definitive offer.

On April 26, 2019, Dr. Warren Hosseinion, Chairman of Clinigence Holdings, Inc. reached out to Elisa Luqman, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and General Counsel of iGambit, via email, asking if iGambit would be interested in a potential merger. After looking up Dr. Hosseinion’s background, particularly his position at Apollo Medical Holdings (NASDAQ: AMEH) as well as Clinigence’s service offerings, and informing the CEO John Salerno and Board Advisor John Waters, Ms. Luqman responded to Dr. Hosseinion that iGambit was indeed interested.

On April 26, 2019, Dr. Hosseinion contacted Elisa Luqman via phone to introduce himself formally and his plans regarding Clinigence. This preliminary discussion included high-level potential synergies and future strategies. Between April 26, 2019 and May 14, 2019, Dr. Hosseinion and Elisa Luqman continued email and telephone correspondence outlining the general terms of a potential merger.

At that time, Clinigence Holdings, Inc. had been incorporated and combined Clinigence, LLC and QualMetrix, Inc. (“QMX”), with Clinigence, LLC being a wholly owned subsidiary of Clinigence Holdings, Inc. By mid-May, Clinigence had raised approximately $4,000,000 in funding for the QMX combination, and was actively seeking a merger partner in the public arena. Clinigence was attracted to our HealthDatix subsidiary.

On May 15, 2019, Dr. Warren Hosseinion and Mitchell Creem from Clinigence, and Elisa Luqman, John Salerno, and John Waters from iGambit, held a conference call to discuss the synergies between the companies, Clinigence’s future plans, the general terms of a potential merger and next steps.

Accordingly, the iGambit Board determined to pursue continued discussions with Clinigence.

From May 15, 2019 through May 31, 2019, iGambit and Clinigence had frequent conference calls and email exchanges discussing the possibility of pursuing a strategic transaction whereby the two companies would merge. One of the key topics of discussion was iGambit’s need to pay its short-term convertible debt and need of short-term working capital until a merger could be completed. It was agreed that Clinigence would advance funds to iGambit, but first needed to perform due diligence.

Additionally, the Exchange Ratios ranging from 60:40 to 90:10 in favor of Clinigence were discussed and evaluated. Ultimately, these negotiations resulted in agreement of an exchange ratio which would provide the stockholders of Clinigence with 85%, on a fully-diluted basis, of the outstanding shares of iGambit common stock following the Merger. This number also took into consideration certain factors; including, but not limited to, (1) Clinigence paying iGambit’s short term convertible debt; (2) Clinigence assuming iGambit’s remaining liabilities; (3) iGambit having nominal revenue; (4) Clinigence having revenue and the necessary working capital to support the consolidated company post-merger; and (5) Clinigence’s management’s team ability to raise additional funding post-merger.

On June 1, 2019, Clinigence and iGambit entered into a Non-Binding Indication of Interest (IOI), pursuant to which the parties would engage in two (2) weeks of aggressive mutual due diligence. Upon the successful completion and mutual satisfaction of due diligence, the parties would enter in a Letter of Intent (LOI) to merge and Clinigence would advance iGambit $393,092.28, in the form of a Promissory Note, $293,092.28 of which would be used solely to pay off iGambit’s short-term convertible debt, $100,000 to be used by iGambit as working capital.

On June 12, 2019, Elisa Luqman from iGambit, Jerry Robinson, Mary-Jo Robinson and Kathleen Shepherd (the “HealthDatix Management Team”) met with Clinigence’s management team, consisting of Dr. Warren Hosseinion (Chairman), Mihir Shah (CFO), Dr. Larry Schimmel (CMO and the co-founder of QualMetrix), Chuck Kandzierski (COO/CIO) at HealthDatix’s headquarters in St. Petersburg, FL for the review of each company’s technology and capabilities.

After successful completion of the mutual due diligence, on June 24, 2019 iGambit, Inc. entered into a Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Clinigence Holdings, Inc. pursuant to which Clinigence loaned iGambit $393,092.28. On June 25, 2019 all of iGambit’s outstanding short-term convertible notes totaling $293,092.28 were retired and iGambit received $100,000 from Clinigence to be used as working capital. On June 26, 2019 a Form 8-K was filed by iGambit with the Securities and Exchange Commission to announce that the LOI had been executed.

On June 27, 2019, Elisa Luqman, John Salerno, and John Waters held conference calls with an investment banking firm for recommendations on determining the reverse stock split range for iGambit.

On July 10, 2019, Elisa Luqman and the HealthDatix Management Team met with Kobi Margolin (CEO and founder of Clinigence) and the Clinigence senior management team at Clinigence’s headquarters in Atlanta, GA, to continue the review of each company’s technology and capabilities.

On July 15, 2019, legal counsel to Clinigence presented a draft of the Merger Agreement to iGambit. On July 16, 2019, iGambit’s outside counsel provided initial markup and notes on the draft and it was circulated to the Board and advisor for review.

On July 17, 2019 Elisa Luqman, John Salerno, John Waters and Dr. Warren Hosseinion held conference calls with two additional investment banking firms for recommendations on determining the reverse stock split range for iGambit.

On July 25, 2019, the Board and advisor met to review and discuss the draft. On August 1, 2019, a revised marked version was sent to iGambit’s outside legal counsel for review. On August 2, 2019, a marked-up version was submitted back to Clinigence’s legal counsel. Simultaneously, during the Merger Agreement draft review process Clinigence’s auditors worked aggressively to complete the Clinigence two-year audits and 2019 first quarter review, and to provide the necessary Clinigence financial pro formas to be included in this Information Statement.

On August 5, 2019, the parties respective legal counsel had a conference call to discuss the revisions to the draft of the Merger Agreement. On the same day Mr. Hosseinion and Ms. Luqman also had a conference call to discuss the revisions to the draft of the Merger Agreement. Key issues addressed included (1) the fiduciary out language and particularly the related termination fee, (2) the sufficiency of the Reverse Stock Split range, (3) the review of the iGambit disclosure schedules, and in particular the schedule of liabilities, and (4) the willingness of iGambit and HealthDatix management to accept stock as partial payment against deferred compensation.

From August 6 through August 7, 2019, respective legal counsel to the parties provided each other comments and revised versions of the draft of the Merger Agreement. On August 7, 2019, a draft of the Merger Agreement in substantially final form was circulated to the Board and advisor for review.

On August 7, 2019, the Board met to discuss the acceptance of the Merger Agreement. The Board reviewed the substantially final version of the proposed Merger Agreement including the material terms, conditions and provisions of the draft Merger Agreement and the structure of the proposed transaction. Following the discussion, the Board approved the Merger Agreement and adopted the resolution to approve the Merger as it was in the best interest of iGambit and its stockholders.

On August 8, 2019 iGambit entered into the Merger Agreement with Clinigence and Merger Sub. Also, on August 8, 2019, a Form 8-K was filed by iGambit with the Securities and Exchange Commission to announce that the Merger Agreement had been executed.

On September 24, 2019, Mr. John Salerno, the sole holder of Series A Preferred Shares and thus holder of the majority of our outstanding voting power, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved the Merger.

Reasons for the Merger; Recommendation of iGambit’s Board of Directors

In its review the Board consulted with its management, legal and financial advisors, and reviewed a significant amount of information and considered a number of factors, including, among others, the following factors: (i) the information Clinigence provided regarding its technology, products and services, management experience and potential competitive position; (ii) the financial, operational, businesses and strategic objectives of Clinigence; (iii) the willingness of Clinigence to lend funds to iGambit prior to the Merger to pay off iGambit’s short term convertible debt and working capital; (iv) the current target markets proposed by Clinigence; (v) the consideration to be received by iGambit’s stockholders for the Merger; (vi) the terms, conditions and obligations of the Merger Agreement; (vii) possible alternative strategies and prospects for iGambit as an independent company and (viii) the financial condition and future prospects for iGambit.

Specifically, the iGambit Board considered that iGambit has not been able to adequately fund its HealthDatix subsidiary and achieve sustaining revenue, and this merger with Clinigence presented that opportunity through synergistic products and the same target market customers. The iGambit Board also considered that Clinigence's management has extensive experience in the health technology and related industry.

 

Clinigence’s founders have established relationships with leading healthcare companies, including, but not limited to Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), Managed Services Organizations (MSOs), health plans, health systems, and physician practices. They have commercialized products in the space which the iGambit Board thought could be leveraged from a partnering perspective.

 

The iGambit Board further considered that Clinigence’s management has extensive experience in the successful growth and expansion of healthcare related companies in the public arena, most significantly, Clinigence’s Chairman, Dr. Warren Hosseinion’s success with Apollo Medical Holdings (NASDAQ: AMEH).

 

In addition, the Board considered the following challenges faced by iGambit as an independent company:

iGambit has not been successful in generating significant revenues from its current subsidiary operations both in its attempt to license its Annual Wellness Visit/Health Risk Assessment subscription service and launch its medical wearable, for which it accumulated significant debt;
the lack of revenues and debt has impacted iGambit and caused iGambit to seek additional financing options which resulted in further dilution of iGambit stock and greatly impacted its ability to continue operations;
the lack of funds necessary for further iGambit research and development in its medical wearable has impacted iGambit;
iGambit also has difficulties in raising capital in the public markets due to its financial position;
alternative acquisition and merger opportunities pursued during the past twelve (12) to eighteen (18) months have not come to fruition or been financially viable; and
the Company has nominal cash and the only opportunity to raise additional cash is through unattractive convertible notes that convert at a significant discount to the stock price and cause further dilution of the stockholders and induces a decrease in the trading share price.

Having no other viable alternative, and having exhausted all opportunities presented over the previous eighteen months, the Board unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are acceptable and in the best interest of iGambit’s stockholders, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (iii) recommended that iGambit’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger.

Factors Relating to the Specific Terms of iGambit’s Merger Agreement with Clinigence:

The Merger will result in iGambit stockholders being diluted based on the Exchange Ratio, to approximately 15%, on a fully-diluted basis, of the outstanding equity of iGambit immediately following the Effective Time. The Board agreed that based on the current financial status of iGambit and the potential for future increased value in the shares resulting from Clinigence’s projected performance, that the Merger was a viable solution at the agreed upon Exchange Ratio.

The Merger provides for the $418,092.28 bridge loan to iGambit. Clinigence loaned iGambit $393,092.28 upon signing of the Letter of Intent for the Merger in the form of a promissory note until the Effective Date, on August 6, 2019, Clinigence loaned iGambit an additional $25,000 in the form of a promissory note until the Effective Date, and on September 12, 2019, Clinigence loaned iGambit an additional $25,000 in the form of a promissory note until the Effective Date.

 17 

 

iGambit engaged in extensive negotiation regarding the Exchange Ratio with Clinigence.

In the course of reaching the determinations and decisions and making the recommendation described above, iGambit’s Board of Directors, in consultation with iGambit’s senior management and outside advisors and outside legal counsel considered the risks and potentially negative factors relating to the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, including the following material factors:

the fact that the Merger would result in a change in control of iGambit with Clinigence stockholders holding 85%, on a fully-diluted basis, of the outstanding shares of iGambit common stock following the Merger and the right to appoint the new Board of Directors;
the risk that the potential benefits of the Merger and Clinigence’s business plans will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period;
the risk that the Merger may result in iGambit assuming unknown liabilities;
the risks associated with Clinigence’s projected revenue not being realized or not within the expected time period and therefore not having the ability to successfully implementing its business plan;
the risks and contingencies relating to the announcement and pendency of the Merger and the risks and costs to iGambit if the closing of the Merger is not timely or if it does not close at all, may have an effect on the trading price of iGambit common shares; and
the risk that the requirement as a provision of the Merger Agreement that iGambit conducts its business only in the ordinary course prior to the completion of the Merger, may delay or prevent iGambit from undertaking certain business opportunities that might arise pending completion of the Merger.

The Board believes that, overall, the potential benefits to the iGambit Stockholders of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions contemplated thereby outweigh the risks and uncertainties.

These interests include, among other things:

Elisa Luqman and certain other related parties may agree to cancel certain Deferred Compensation and Related Party Indebtedness, in exchange for Company shares;

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO CLINIGENCE

Overview

Clinigence is a leading healthcare information technology company providing an advanced, cloud-based platform that enables healthcare organizations to provide value-based care and population health management. The Clinigence platform aggregates clinical and claims data across multiple settings, information systems and sources to create a holistic view of each patient and provider and virtually unlimited insights into patient populations.

 

Clinigence is the culmination of the combination of Clinigence, LLC and QualMetrix, Inc. (“QualMetrix”), two advanced healthcare information technology companies, with Clinigence, LLC being a wholly owned subsidiary of Clinigence Holdings, Inc.

 

Clinigence, LLC, founded in 2010 and based in Atlanta, Georgia, is a pioneer in clinical quality reporting. Its solution integrates clinical and claims data across multiple electronic health record (EHR) systems to allow its customers to improve the quality of care of its patients, improve care coordination and to reduce cost. Started by a core team that had worked together in previous start-ups. The team has a long track record of health IT innovation and entrepreneurial success, collectively generating more than $1billion in stockholder value.

 

Clinigence, LLC believes it provides unique clinical business intelligence software-as-a-service (SaaS), and has a patent application pending. Clinigence, LLC empowers new value-based care delivery and payment models by liberating patient data and translating them into value metrics.

 

The Clinigence, LLC solution cost-effectively integrates clinical and financial data across all EHR systems and care settings and delivers comprehensive patient views and real-time, dynamic and predictive population reports critical to success in value-based payment.

 

While EHR adoption has skyrocketed over the past few years, clinical data remain locked in silos, highly variable and fragmented by transaction. Current information technology (IT) is designed to maximize transaction-based billing and is inadequate for population based reporting. Payers have access to cost and utilization data through claims and providers have access to EHR data, but neither stakeholder has been successful in putting the two together – the key to maximizing the value of care.

 

Clinigence, LLC has developed technology that efficiently integrates data from any source, normalizes and aggregates it by patient and classifies patients into any population defined by clinicians. To date, Clinigence, LLC has applied this technology to EHR and claims data. Clinigence, LLC has helped more than 1,000 practices, including some 15 accountable care organizations (ACOs) report and improve quality to maximize quality based payment. Clinigence, LLC is also helping its ACO customers reduce cost and improve care coordination.

 

Clinigence, LLC enables clinicians to identify patients in need of services, such as annual wellness visits and chronic care management, and proactively manage them to improve quality and maximize billings. Clinigence, LLC enables healthcare organizations to measure and improve quality and reduce the cost of care. The technology works seamlessly across networks of practices with disparate and diverse systems.

 

Clinigence, LLC has a pending patent application for its technology (U.S. Patent Application No. 15/882,688). Clinigence, LLC believes its technology is unique in two critical ways: (1) it efficiently integrates data from any EHR and claims sources; and (2) it enables clinicians to target any patient population and measure any clinical key performance indicator (KPI) in real time with no dependence on EHR vendors, IT or informatics staff.

 

Clinigence’s platform is currently in use by 14 Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), 7 Managed Services Organizations (MSOs), 5 health plans, 35 hospitals, and over 8,000 individual providers, and hosting more than 9 million patient records.

QualMetrix, founded in 2013 and based in Miramar, Florida, is a population health analytics company that provides turnkey SaaS solutions that enable connected intelligence across the care continuum by transforming massive amounts of data into actionable insights.

 

The company’s solutions help healthcare organizations improve the quality and cost effectiveness of care, enhance population health management and optimize provider networks. QualMetrix enables risk-bearing healthcare organizations achieve their objectives on the path to value-based care.

 

QualMetrix’s platform automatically extracts and delivers targeted data insights from its cloud-based analytics engine directly to the workflows and technologies of its customers. This enhances end-user workflows with actionable analytics, seamlessly delivers data from disparate sources to the point of engagement, automates the delivery of data to ensure on-time access, and reduces dependency on non-essential applications from the end-user’s workflow. All of this allows the healthcare organization to enable population health management, manage cost and utilization, improve quality, identify gaps in care, risk stratify and target patients, increase collaboration among providers and to optimize network provider performance.

 

Clinigence, LLC and QualMetrix, Inc. have each developed what they consider leading technology in the provider and payer analytics markets respectively. As the healthcare industry continues to shift risk from payers to providers, the integration of these respective capabilities into a single platform has the potential to surpass the competition and create a leading solution for the value-based healthcare analytics market.

 

Population Health starts with a comprehensive view of each individual patient. Under the fee-for-service (FFS) model, payers bore all the risk. Payers’ attempts to control the cost of care over the past few decades have been stymied by their limited view of their members and their limited control over medical decisions. Under the same model providers had little knowledge of the cost of care and minimal (if not inverse) interest in reducing the total cost of care. Value-based Healthcare aims to transform this perverse paradigm.

 

Under Value-based Healthcare models, providers and payers share the risk for the total cost of care. The sharing of risk is creating an emerging market opportunity that is forecasted to accelerate in the coming years. Under Value-based Healthcare, providers must quickly develop the capacity to manage the total cost of care. At the same time, payers can no longer afford to be left out of the complete clinical picture of their members. On both sides, this trend creates nothing less than a struggle for survival. On the one hand, providers are engaging in “middle-man cutting” arrangements, such as provider-sponsored health plans and direct-to-employer contracts. On the other hand, payers are attempting to shift risk by forging shared- and full-risk contracts with providers.

 

Over the past eight years, Clinigence, LLC has developed technology and expertise that it believes uniquely helps providers manage the quality and clinical outcomes of care. Clinigence, LLC believes that a key differentiator of its technology is the ability to aggregate data from multiple diverse sources into comprehensive patient-centric records. At the same time, QualMetrix, Inc. has developed market-leading technology and expertise in the analysis of the total cost of care based on administrative (claims) data.

 

Clinigence’s platform is currently in use by 14 ACOs, 7 MSOs, 5 health plans, 35 hospitals, and over 8,000 individual providers, and hosting more than 9 million patient records.

CLINIGENCE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDING JUNE 30, 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. Nature of Operations

In October 2018, Clinigence Holdings, Inc. was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clinigence, LLC. On March 1, 2019, Clinigence Holdings, Inc. entered into a Contribution Agreement (“Agreement”) by and among Clinigence Holdings, Inc. (“Clinigence”), QualMetrix, Inc. (“QMX”), Clinigence, LLC (“CLI”) (collectively, the “Company”), and the Members of Clinigence, LLC. Upon closing the transactions as called for in the Contribution Agreement, Clinigence Holdings, Inc. exchanged shares of its common stock for all the outstanding member units of Clinigence, LLC and acquired substantially all of the assets of QualMetrix, Inc.

The Company is a population health analytics company that provides turnkey SaaS solutions that enable connected intelligence across the care continuum by transforming massive amounts of data into actionable insights. The Company’s solutions help healthcare organizations throughout the United States improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of care, enhance population health management and optimize provider networks. The Company enables risk-bearing healthcare organizations achieve their objectives on the path to value-based care. The Company’s platform automatically extracts and delivers targeted data insights from its cloud-based analytics engine directly to the workflows and technologies of its customers. This enhances end-user workflows with actionable analytics, seamlessly delivers data from disparate sources to the point of engagement, automates the delivery of data to ensure on-time access, and reduces dependency on non-essential applications from the end-user’s workflow. All of this allows the healthcare organization to enable population health management, manage cost and utilization, improve quality, identify gaps in care, risk stratify and target patients, increase collaboration among providers and to optimize network provider performance.

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared on a condensed interim basis and may not include all information and footnotes which are normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items or items discussed herein) that management believes are necessary to fairly state results for the interim period presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results of operations.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Clinigence India and Clinigence, LLC. Subsequent to the acquisition transaction, the Company legally dissolved QualMetrix, Inc. as of June 30, 2019. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. The Company does not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or the issuers of these investments to the extent the amounts on deposit or invested are in excess of amounts that are insured.

 33 

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generated primarily by software licenses, training, and consulting. Software licenses are provided as SaaS-based subscriptions that grants access to proprietary online databases and data management solutions. Training and consulting are project based and billable to customers on a monthly-basis or task-basis.

Revenue from training and consulting are generally recognized upon delivery of training or completion of the consulting project. The duration of training and consulting projects are typically a few weeks or months and last no longer than 12 months.

SaaS-based subscriptions are generally marketed under multi-year agreements with annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or month-to-month renewals and revenue is recognized ratably over the renewal period with the unearned amounts received recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is recorded as accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and was not significant at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. For multiple-element arrangements accounted for in accordance with specific software accounting guidance, multiple deliverables are segregated into units of accounting which are delivered items that have value to a customer on a standalone basis.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new revenue recognition standard Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, using the modified retrospective method. The modified retrospective adoption used by the Company did not result in a material cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. Revenue from substantially all the Company’s contracts with customers continues to be recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company provides its customers with software licensing, training, and consulting through SaaS-based subscriptions. This subscription revenue represents revenue earned under contracts in which the Company bills and collects the charges for licensing and related services. The Company determines the measurement of revenue and the timing of revenue recognition utilizing the following core principles: 

1. Identifying the contract with a customer;

2. Identifying the performance obligations in the contract;

3. Determining the transaction price;

4. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

5. Recognizing revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies its performance obligations. 

Revenues from subscriptions are deferred when cash payments are received in advance of the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations and recognized over the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company completes its contractual performance obligations through providing its customers access to specified data through subscriptions for a service period, and training on consulting associated with the subscriptions. The Company primarily invoices its customers on a monthly basis and does not provide any refunds, rights of return, or warranties to its customers.

Cost of Sales

The Company’s costs of sales primarily consist of cloud computing and storage costs, datasets, and contracted and internal labor costs.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, provisions for doubtful accounts, purchase price allocations, recoverability of long-lived assets including identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, and valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 34 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company grants credit to its customers during the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral.

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to its customers during the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral. The Company did not have an allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, consisting of computers and other office equipment, is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and improvements of a major nature are capitalized.

At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives. For purposes of determining whether there are any impairment losses, management evaluates the carrying value of the Company’s identifiable long-lived assets, including their useful lives, when indicators of impairment are present, considering whether the undiscounted lowest identifiable cash flows are sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the applicable asset or asset group. If an impairment is indicated, the Company computes the impairment based on the fair value of the asset, as compared to the carrying value of the asset, such a loss would be charged to expense in the period the impairment is identified. Furthermore, if the review of the carrying values of the long-lived assets indicates impairment of such assets, the Company may determine that shorter estimated useful lives are more appropriate. 

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary in order to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be recovered.

The Company has established a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets that are not recoverable from taxable temporary differences because the Company is unable to conclude that future utilization of a portion of its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets is more likely than not.

The calculation of the Company’s tax positions involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in several different state tax jurisdictions. The Company is periodically reviewed by tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These reviews include inquiries regarding the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. The Company records estimated reserves for exposures associated with positions that it takes on its income tax returns that do not meet the more likely than not standards.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits or a liability for uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2019. The Company does not expect to have any unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of income tax expense. There were no tax related interest and penalties recorded as of, and for the period ended June 30, 2019. Since the Company incurred net operating losses in every tax year since inception, all of its income tax returns are subject to examination and adjustments by the IRS for at least three years following the year in which the tax attributes are utilized.

 35 

 

Fair Value Measurement

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Inputs: Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments carried at cost, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate the carrying amounts presented in the balance sheet due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation costs for eligible employees and directors are measured at fair value on the date of grant and are expensed over the requisite service period using a straight-line attribution method for the entire award that are subject to only service vesting conditions.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements using the effective interest method.

Identifiable Intangible Assets and Goodwill

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, inclusive of goodwill and indefinable intangible assets, at least annually for impairment.

At least annually, at the Company’s fiscal year end, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment has occurred, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to complete quantitative impairment assessments. The Company is required to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test only if the conclusion from the qualitative assessment is that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than the carrying value of its assets. Should this be the case, a quantitative analysis is performed to identify whether a potential impairment exists by comparing the estimated fair values of the reporting units with their respective carrying values, including goodwill.

 36 

 

An impairment loss is recognized if the implied fair value of the asset being tested is less than its carrying value. In this event, the asset is written down accordingly. The fair values of goodwill are determined using valuation techniques based on estimates, judgments and assumptions management believes are appropriate in the circumstances.

At least annually, indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment. Impairment for intangible assets with indefinite lives exists if the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value. The fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets are determined using valuation techniques based on estimates, judgments and assumptions management believes are appropriate in the circumstances.

The Company amortizes its identifiable intangible assets over their estimated useful lives using a straight-line attribution method.  The Company currently amortizes its identifiable intangible assets over a period of ten to thirteen years.  The Company’s identifiable intangible assets relate to customer relationships and developed technology acquired in March 2019.

Going Concern

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has not generated sufficient cash flows from its operations to fund the Company’s on-going obligations as they arise. In the future, the Company may require sources of capital in addition to cash on hand to continue operations and to implement its strategy.

The Company may be forced to seek credit line facilities from financial institutions, equity investments or debt arrangements. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company may be unable to adequately fund its business plan. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financials do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

3. Acquisition and Share Exchange 

On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement by and among Clinigence Holdings, Inc. (“Clinigence”), QualMetrix, Inc. (“QMX”), and the Members of Clinigence, LLC (“Agreement”) whereby Clinigence Holdings, Inc. acquired all of the assets and operations and assumed all of the liabilities of QMX. The Company acquired substantially all of the assets of QMX to further its SAAS-based offerings to its customers and expand into new markets. The goodwill is derived largely from the expected growth of the Company, as well as synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of QMX with the Company. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Clinigence shares were issued to QMX in exchange for substantially all of the assets of QMX. QMX shares subsequently distributed Clinigence shares to QMX stockholders in connection with QMX’s dissolution. All outstanding shares of QMX immediately preceding the dissolution were treated as one class. On the date of the combination, the shares of common stock issued to QMX had an estimated fair value of $0.83 per share based on an independent valuation.

The following table represents the fair value of the consideration paid allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired in applying the acquisition method for the completion of the QualMetrix, Inc. business combination:

Each unit offered in the private placement consisted of one share of common stock, and a warrant convertible into 0.4 shares of common stock at an exercise of $1.50 per whole share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance.

A summary of the warrant activity is as follows (converted to whole number of shares at a rate of 0.4 to 1): 

   Warrants  Weighted Average Exercise Price

CLINIGENCE MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of Clinigence Holdings, Inc. (“Clinigence”) financial condition and results of operations together with the Clinigence Holdings, Inc. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the Six Months ended June 30, 2019, Clinigence Holdings, Inc. Condensed Consolidated Pro-Forma Statement of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (Unaudited) and Clinigence’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Information Statement, including financials attached as an Annex to this Information Statement. This discussion and other parts of this Information Statement contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as its plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and beliefs. Clinigence’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those included elsewhere in this Information Statement.

INTRODUCTION

Company Overview

Clinigence (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “it”) is a population health analytics company that provides turnkey SaaS solutions that enable connected intelligence across the care continuum by transforming massive amounts of data into actionable insights. Clinigence’s solutions help healthcare organizations throughout the United States improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of care, enhance population health management and optimize provider networks. Clinigence enables risk-bearing healthcare organizations achieve their objectives on the path to value-based care. Clinigence’s platform automatically extracts and delivers targeted data insights from its cloud-based analytics engine directly to the workflows and technologies of its customers. This enhances end-user workflows with actionable analytics, seamlessly delivers data from disparate sources to the point of engagement, automates the delivery of data to ensure on-time access, and reduces dependency on non-essential applications from the end-user’s workflow. All of this allows the healthcare organization to enable population health management, manage cost and utilization, improve quality, identify gaps in care, risk stratify and target patients, increase collaboration among providers and to optimize network provider performance.

In October 2018, Clinigence Holdings, Inc. was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clinigence, LLC. On March 1, 2019, Clinigence entered into a Contribution Agreement by and among Clinigence Holdings, Inc. (“Clinigence”), QualMetrix, Inc. (“QMX”), and the Members of Clinigence, LLC (the “Contribution Agreement”) whereby Clinigence Holdings, Inc. acquired all of the assets and operations and assumed all of the liabilities of QMX. Clinigence acquired substantially all of the assets of QMX to further its SAAS-based offerings to its customers and expand into new markets. The goodwill is derived largely from the expected growth of Clinigence, as well as synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of QMX with Clinigence. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Clinigence shares were issued to QMX in exchange for substantially all of the assets of QMX. QMX subsequently distributed Clinigence shares to QMX stockholders in connection with QMX’s dissolution. All outstanding shares of QMX immediately preceding its dissolution were treated as one class. On the date of the combination, the shares of common stock issued to QMX had an estimated fair value of $0.83 per share based on an independent valuation.

In addition to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of QMX, as part of the Contribution Agreement, 15,978,062 issued and outstanding member units (including incentive units) of Clinigence, LLC were exchanged for 7,533,000 shares of common stock of Clinigence. All outstanding preferred member and common units of Clinigence, LLC immediately preceding the exchange were treated as one class. Prior to the acquisition and share exchange there were 360,000 shares of common stock of Clinigence Holdings, Inc. outstanding.

On June 24, 2019, Clinigence entered into letter of intent with Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with iGambit, Inc. to effectuate a reverse triangular merger whereby Clinigence will be the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of iGambit after closing the transaction. In conjunction with the LOI, and subsequent definitive merger agreement entered into on August 8, 2019, Clinigence issued a six-month, six percent interest on promissory note to iGambit for $393,093 included in Note receivable-related party in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Results of Operations

Revenue. We recognized approximately $657,000 of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019. As we continue to integrate the operations of QualMetrix and expand our marketing efforts we expect our revenues to increase on a quarter over quarter basis, however, there can be no assurance we will be successful in these efforts.

 

Operating Expenses. General and Administrative Expenses was approximately $1,901,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our General and Administrative Expenses consists of general corporate overheard including professional fee of approximately $1,082,000; payroll and related costs of approximately $583,000; rent and other facility costs of approximately $54,000; and general overhead including travel and insurance of approximately $182,000. Significant portions of professional fees and payroll are related to merger activity including a one-time charge for accelerated vesting of previously outstanding incentive awards of approximately $542,000. We expect that upon completion of the merger including the transaction with iGambit we expect our overall corporate overhead to remain flat and we do not expect to incur professional fees at these levels within the normal course of business unless we pursue additional merger and acquisitions activity

 

Sales and marketing expense of $162,000 primarily consists of trade shows including travel costs, payroll for marketing personnel and other advertising and media campaigns.

 

Research and development expense of approximately $464,000 consists of internal payroll and external consultants continuing to develop and improve our platform.

Other Income (Expense). We reported a non-recurring loss on related party convertible debt conversions of approximately $130,000 based on the difference between the estimated fair value of the stock issued ($0.83 per share) to convert the debt and the net carrying amount of the debt totaling $399,997 on the date of conversion. As of June 30, 2019, all of the previously outstanding convertible notes payable were fully settled. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized interest expense of approximately $57,000 on its outstanding notes and convertible notes payable. The Company expects its interest expense to decline for the remainder of 2019 due to the settlement of previously outstanding notes and convertible notes payable of approximately $1,236,000 of which approximately $836,000 was paid in cash with the remaining $400,000 converted to 638,718 shares of common stock.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, at June 30, 2019, we had working capital of approximately $166,000 and unrestricted cash of approximately $828,000. While as of June 30, 2019 we have a working capital surplus we have operated at a net loss since inception. In order to execute our business plans, including the expansion of operations, we will need to raise additional capital. We currently do not having any firm funding commitments.

 

Cash Used in Operations

 

Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1,689,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily consisted of our operating revenues not being sufficient to cover our on-going obligations partially off-set by a non-recurring, non-cash charge of $542,000 for stock based compensation and loss on debt conversion of approximately $130,000, and a net increase in assets of approximately $48,000.

 

Cash Used for Investing Activities

 

Net cash used for investing activities primarily consisted of funding a loan to iGambit of approximately $393,000 to pay down debt prior to our expected merger transaction as well as the acquisition of property and equipment used for operations of approximately $84,000.

 

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we issued approximately 3,200,000 shares of common stock for net cash proceeds of approximately $3,200,000, and made principal payments on previously outstanding notes and convertible notes payable totaling approximately $836,000.

Plan of Operation and Funding

 

We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business. Existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business and (ii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities, and debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current stockholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

 

Our primary capital requirements in 2019 are likely to arise from the expansion of our Clinigence operations. We anticipate raising capital in the private markets to cover any such costs, though there can be no guaranty we will be able to do so on terms we deem to be acceptable. We do not have any plans at this point in time to obtain a line of credit or other loan facility from a commercial bank.

 

While we believe in the viability of our strategy to improve Clinigence’s sales volume, and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances that we will be able to fully effectuate our business plan.

 

We believe we will continue to increase our cash position and liquidity for the foreseeable future. We believe we have enough capital to fund our present operations.

 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Clinigence leases its office space under a 64-month non-cancellable lease arrangement that began on January 1, 2019 and expires in April 2024. The lease payments escalate at a rate of three percent per annum and begin with base monthly lease payments of $5,477.

The following table provides the lease payments due by year under Clinigence’s non-cancellable lease agreement:

Year  Amount
2019  $32,864 
2020   67,700 
2021   69,731 
2022   71,823 
2023   73,978 
Thereafter   25,399 
Total  $341,495 

Additionally, our currently outstanding debt obligation totaling approximately $338,000 fully mature in 2022.

iGambit, Inc.

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

On August 8, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Clinigence Holdings, Inc. pursuant to which the companies will combine in a stock-for-stock merger transaction. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, iGambit shall issue newly-issued shares of common stock, on a fully-diluted pro rata basis, to the equity holders of Clinigence by means of a reverse triangular merger in which a wholly owned subsidiary of iGambit shall merge with and into Clinigence, with Clinigence continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). If the closing of the Merger occurs (the “Closing”), the former Clinigence equity holders shall own 85%, on a fully-diluted basis, of iGambit’s issued and outstanding common stock and the former iGambit equity holders shall own 15%, on a fully diluted basis, of iGambit’s issued and outstanding common stock, in each case on a fully-diluted, as converted basis as of immediately prior to the Closing (including options, warrants and other rights to acquire equity securities of iGambit).

The Company did not incur material merger costs associated with the Merger Agreement.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented to illustrate the effects of the merger with on iGambit, Inc. historical results of operations:

ACTION 2 THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

APPROVAL OF THE GRANTING OF DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD TO ADOPT AN AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AT A RATIO RANGING FROM 1 FOR 100 TO UP TO 1 FOR [ 500], SUCH RATIO TO BE DETERMINED BY THE BOARD. 

In accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law, on August 7, 2019, our Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved a resolution to adopt an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio ranging from 1 for 100 to up to 1 for 500, such ratio to be determined by the Board (the “Reverse Stock Split”), subject to stockholder approval. On September 24, 2019 , Mr. John Salerno, the sole holder of Series A Preferred Shares and thus holder of the majority of our outstanding voting power, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of the form of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is attached as Annex B to this Information Statement. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR PROPORTIONATE EQUITY INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY, EXCEPT AS MAY RESULT FROM THE TREATMENT OF FRACTIONAL SHARES, AS EXPLAINED BELOW UNDER THE CAPTION “FRACTIONAL SHARES.” 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF SHARES THE COMPANY WILL BE ABLE TO ISSUE TO NEW OR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES WILL REMAIN THE SAME WHILE THE NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING WILL BE REDUCED.

Prior to the execution of the Effective Time, iGambit will effect the Reverse Stock Split.

Reasons for Reverse Stock Split

 

The Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its Stockholders to have the authority, in their discretion, to implement the Reverse Stock Split, as it is likely to increase the market price for the Common Stock as fewer shares will be outstanding. The Common Stock is presently quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace Current Information Marketplace under the symbol “IGMB”. The Board believes that an increased stock price may encourage investor interest and improve the marketability and liquidity of iGambit’s common stock. We may, over the coming months, apply to have the Common Stock listed on NASDAQ. The main goal of the increase in market price is to help enable the Company to move closer to meeting the $4 minimum bid price requirement of NASDAQ. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage firms and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers and investors. The Board of Directors believes that the anticipated higher market price resulting from a Reverse Stock Split may reduce, to some extent, the negative effects on the liquidity and marketability of the Common Stock inherent in some of the policies and practices of institutional investors and brokerage firms described above. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of iGambit’s common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher.

 54 

 

 
Implementation and Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Common Stock

 

After the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, each stockholder will own fewer shares of iGambit’s common stock. However, the Reverse Stock Split will affect all of iGambit’s Common Stock stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in us, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of iGambit’s stockholders receiving additional shares as a result of or owning a fractional shares of Common Stock that is rounded up, each as described below. The number of stockholders of record will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split. Proportionate voting rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of iGambit’s common stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split other than as a result of and rounding up of fractional shares.

Reverse Stock Split would have the following effects:

the number of shares of the Common Stock owned by each Stockholder will automatically be reduced proportionately based on the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board;

 

the number of shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced proportionately; and

 

proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of the Common Stock, which will result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid for such options and warrants upon exercise of such options warrants immediately preceding the reverse stock split.

 

The table set forth below illustrates the Company’s hypothetical capitalization subsequent to reverse stock splits in varying ratios with the ratio of 1-for 500 being the maximum ratio which may be effectuated by the Board pursuant to the Written Consent.

This hypothetical model is based on the total number of shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date and gives effect to the Reverse Stock Split, as well as shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding and issuable upon the exercise of warrants.

Hypothetical Reverse Stock Split Ratio  Shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding following Reverse Stock Split  Shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants  Shares of Common Stock available for future issuance following Reverse Stock Split
1 to 100     3,885,539    36,250   796,078,211
1 to 500     777,108    7,250   799,215,642

 

 55 

 

Potential Risks of the Reverse Stock Split

There can be no assurance that the bid price of iGambit’s common stock will continue at a level in proportion to the reduction in the number of outstanding shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. Further, we cannot give any assurances that the Reverse Stock Split will encourage investor interest and improve the marketability and liquidity of iGambit’s common stock.

Additionally, the liquidity of iGambit’s common stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split. Although the Board of Directors believes that a higher stock price may help generate investor interest, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will result in a per-share price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, any decreased liquidity that may result from having fewer shares outstanding may not be offset by increased investor interest in iGambit’s common stock.

Potential for Significant Dilution of Equity Interest 

The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the rights of Stockholders or any Stockholder’s proportionate equity interest in the Company, subject to the treatment of fractional shares. At this time, the Company has no plans to issue such additional shares of its capital stock, other than (i) as required for the Merger, (2) as required for additional financings and (ii) as compensation and incentives to employees and directors under the Company’s Incentive Plan and other arrangements that may be undertaken.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of iGambit’s common stock will be issued as a result of the proposed Reverse Stock Split. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, we will round fractions up to the nearest whole share.

Implementation and Exchange of Stock Certificates

As of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, each certificate representing shares of iGambit common stock before the Reverse Stock Split would be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the reduced number of shares of iGambit’s common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split.

iGambit’s transfer agent will be available to effect the exchange of stock certificates. After the Effective Date, stockholders and holders of securities exercisable for iGambit’s common stock will be notified of the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. Persons who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or “street name” will not be required to take any further actions to effect the exchange of their shares. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered any outstanding certificates to the transfer agent. Until surrendered, each certificate representing shares before the Reverse Stock Split will continue to be valid and will represent the adjusted number of shares based on the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificate and should not submit any certificates until after the Reverse Stock Split has become effective.

Authorized Shares

 

As of the Record Date, there were 800,000,000 shares of authorized Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock. As of the Record Date, there were 388,553,890 (not including 10 million shares held in treasury), shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and 1,000 Series A Preferred issued and outstanding.

As of the Record Date, we have 1,625,000 shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to warrants and 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to options. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares remaining available for future issuance under the Company’s authorized pool of Common Stock would increase. In addition, the Company will continue to have 100,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock. 

These authorized but unissued shares of common and preferred stock would be available for issuance from time to time for corporate purposes such as raising additional capital, acquisitions of businesses or assets and sales of stock or securities convertible into Common Stock. The Company believes that the availability of the authorized but unissued shares will provide it with the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to respond to a changing corporate environment. If the Company issues additional shares, the ownership interests of holders of the Common Stock may be diluted. Also, if the Company issues shares of its preferred stock, the issued shares may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of its Common Stock.

 

 56 

 

 

CUSIP Number 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split and Name Change, the Common Stock will receive a new CUSIP number, which is the number used to identify the Company’s equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP number will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP number. Our Common Stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Markets, subject to compliance with OTC Marketplace listing standards.

 No Appraisal Rights.

Under Delaware General Corporation Law, the Stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Reverse Stock Split, and the Company will not independently provide Stockholders with any such right. 

No Dissenters’ Rights

Under Delaware General Corporation Law, the Stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the Reverse Stock Split, and the Company will not independently provide Stockholders with any such right. 

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, WE INFORM YOU THAT ANY FEDERAL TAX ADVICE CONTAINED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, FOR PURPOSES OF (I) AVOIDING PENALTIES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, OR (II) PROMOTING, MARKETING OR RECOMMENDING TO ANOTHER PARTY ANY TRANSACTION OR TAX-RELATED MATTER ADDRESSED HEREIN. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE FOR YOURSELF THE TAX EFFECTS OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, IF ANY, INCLUDING SUCH TAX EFFECTS UNDER STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX LAWS.

The following discussion sets forth the anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences that management believes will apply to iGambit and iGambit’s stockholders who are U.S. holders at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, if any. This discussion does not address the tax consequences of transactions effectuated prior to or after the Reverse Stock Split, including, without limitation, the tax consequences of the exercise of options, warrants or similar rights to purchase stock. Furthermore, no foreign, state or local tax considerations are addressed herein. For this purpose, a U.S. holder is a stockholder that is: (a) a citizen or resident of the United States, (b) a domestic corporation, (c) an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or (d) a trust if a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

The following discussion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service. The following discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect as of the date of this Information Statement, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Holders of shares of the Common Stock are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of the Reverse Stock Split, including the applicability and effect of federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws in their particular circumstances.

No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon his or her exchange of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares for post-Reverse Stock Split shares. The aggregate tax basis of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares received (including any fraction of a new share deemed to have been received) will be the same as the stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged therefor. The stockholder’s holding period for the post-Reverse Stock Split shares will include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split.

iGambit should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES TO THE COMPANY.

 57 

 

 ACTION 3 THE NAME CHANGE

In accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law, on August 7, 2019, our Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved a resolution to adopt an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of iGambit, Inc. to “Clinigence Holdings, Inc.” (the “Name Change”), subject to stockholder approval. On September 24, 2019, Mr. John Salerno, the sole holder of Series A Preferred Shares and thus holder of the majority of your outstanding voting power, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved the Name Change. A copy of the form of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is attached as Annex B to this Information Statement.

Reasons for Name Change,

The board of directors believes that changing the name of the combined company to Clinigence Holdings, Inc. better reflects the future direction and focus of the combined company. After the effective date of the Merger, iGambit, Inc. will become “Clinigence Holdings, Inc.” An amendment to iGambit’s Certificate of Incorporation is required to effect the Name Change.

No Dissenters’ Rights  

Under Delaware General Corporation Law, the Stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the Name Change, and the Company will not independently provide Stockholders with any such right.

ACTION 4 THE INCENTIVE PLAN

In accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law, on August 7, 2019, our Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved a resolution to adopt the2019 Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), subject to stockholder approval. On September 24, 2019, Mr. John Salerno, the sole holder of Series A Preferred Shares and thus holder of the majority of our outstanding voting power, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved the Incentive Plan. A copy of the form of Incentive Plan is attached as Annex C to this Information Statement.

Prior to the execution of the Effective Time, iGambit will effect the Incentive Plan.

Purpose of the Plan

The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to promote the interests of iGambit, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and its stockholders by providing eligible employees, directors and consultants with additional incentives to remain with the Company and its subsidiaries, to increase their efforts to make the Company more successful, to reward such persons by providing an opportunity to acquire shares of Common Stock on favorable terms and to attract and retain the best available personnel to participate in the ongoing business operations of the Company.

The Incentive Plan permits the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Non-statutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units and Performance Shares awards to directors, officers, employees and consultants.

The following is a summary of the principal features of the Incentive Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Incentive Plan, which is attached hereto as Annex C. Stockholders are urged to read the actual text of the Incentive Plan in its entirety.

The board of directors believes that the Incentive Plan is necessary for the Company to attract, retain and motivate its employees, directors and consultants through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units. We believe the Incentive Plan is best designed to provide the proper incentives for our employees, directors and consultants, and ensures our ability to make performance-based awards and meets the requirements of applicable law.

Administration

The Incentive Plan generally will be administered by our board of directors, which may delegate administration of the Incentive Plan to the compensation committee of our Board of Directors or such or such committee or individuals as appointed by the Board. The administrator of the Incentive Plan will have full authority to establish rules and regulations for the proper administration of the Incentive Plan, to select the employees, directors and consultants to whom awards are granted, and to set the date of grant, the type of award and the other terms and conditions of the awards, consistent with the terms of the Incentive Plan. The administrator of the Incentive Plan may modify outstanding awards as provided in the Incentive Plan.

 58 

 

Eligibility

Persons eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan include all our employees, directors and consultants.

Awards

The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of: (i) incentive stock options; (ii) nonqualified stock options; (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; (v) restricted stock units; and (vi) performance units and performance shares awards to eligible individuals. The terms of the awards will be set forth in an award agreement, consistent with the terms of the Incentive Plan. No stock option will be exercisable later than ten years after the date it is granted. The Incentive Plan administrator is authorized to grant awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Stock Options

The Incentive Plan administrator may grant incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and nonqualified stock options. Options shall be exercisable for such prices, shall expire at such times, and shall have such other terms and conditions as the Incentive Plan administrator may determine at the time of grant and as set forth in the award agreement; however, the exercise price must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant, and in the instance of incentive stock options granted to an employee who is a 10% stockholder, the exercise price must be at least equal to 110% of the fair market value at the date of grant. The option price is payable in cash or other consideration acceptable to the Company.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Incentive Plan administrator may grant stock appreciation rights with such terms and conditions as the administrator may determine at the time of grant and as set forth in the award agreement. The grant price of a stock appreciation right shall be determined by the administrator and shall be specified in the award agreement; however, the grant price must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may be exercised upon such terms and conditions as are imposed by the Incentive Plan administrator and as set forth in the stock appreciation right award agreement.

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock may be granted in such amounts and subject to the terms and conditions as determined by the Incentive Plan administrator at the time of grant and as set forth in the award agreement. The administrator may impose performance goals for restricted stock. The administrator may authorize the payment of dividends on the restricted stock during the restricted period.

Performance Shares

The Incentive Plan administrator may grant other types of equity-based or equity-related awards not otherwise described by the terms of the Incentive Plan, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the administrator shall determine. Such awards may be based upon attainment of performance goals established by the administrator and may involve the transfer of actual shares to participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of shares.

No Dissenters’ Rights

Under Delaware General Corporation Law, the Stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the Incentive Plan, and the Company will not independently provide Stockholders with any such right.

ACTION 5 THE BYLAWS

In accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law, on August 7, 2019, our Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved a resolution to adopt the Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), subject to stockholder approval. On September 24, 2019, Mr. John Salerno, the sole holder of Series A Preferred Shares and thus holder of the majority of your outstanding voting power, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved the Bylaws. A copy of the form of Bylaws is attached as Annex D to this Information Statement. A copy of the Original By-Laws can be found as Exhibit 3.2 to the Company’s current From 10-12G dated December 31, 2009 on the SEC’s website.

Prior to the execution of the Effective Time, iGambit will effect the Bylaws.

The following is a brief overview of the principal differences between the Original Bylaws and the Amended and Restated Bylaws:

The Amended and Restated Bylaws make no material changes to our existing Bylaws, other than incorporating the amendments described above and matters permitted under DGCL.

 

A copy of the Bylaws is attached to this Information Statement as Annex D and is incorporated by reference into this Information Statement.  The summary above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws contained in Annex D.

 

Reasons for the Amendment and Restatement of the Bylaws

 

The Board believes that the Bylaws are beneficial for the Company and that it is therefore in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to adopt the Bylaws.

 

The Bylaws were drafted to address a number of DGCL and general corporate governance related developments since the Original Bylaws were adopted over nineteen years ago.

 

The adoption of the Bylaws will result in greater flexibility in permitting management to complete and carry out certain corporate actions with Board approval and without the need to seek stockholder approval, where such approval is not required by the DGCL, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or other applicable state and federal securities laws. An advantage to the adoption of the Bylaws is that time and expense associated with seeking stockholder approval by a public reporting company that results from the need to prepare and file a proxy statement prior to carrying out certain corporate actions can be avoided.

 

Effect of the Amendment and Restatement

 

The Bylaws will not affect the Company or its operations except as described above.  Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and we are currently subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, our common stock currently trades on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbol “IGMB.” Following the adoption of the Bylaws, our common stock will continue to trade on the OTC Pink Marketplace and we will continue to be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

Effective Date

The effective date of the Bylaws will be the 20th calendar day after the date this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders.

 

No Dissenters’ Rights

 

Under Delaware General Corporation Law, the Stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the Bylaws, and the Company will not independently provide Stockholders with any such right.

Penny Stock

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 65 

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for iGambit’s common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling iGambit’s securities.

Holders of iGambit Common Stock

As of August 7, 2019, we had 388,553,890 (not including 10 million shares held in treasury) of iGambit’s common stock issued and outstanding, held by 716 stockholders of record, other than approximately 1,500 beneficial owners.

Dividends

The holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive pro rata dividends, when and if declared by the Board of Directors in its discretion, out of funds legally available therefore, but only if dividends on preferred stock have been paid in accordance with the terms of the outstanding preferred stock and there exists no deficiency in the sinking fund for the preferred stock.

 

Dividends on the common stock are declared by the Board of Directors. In addition, the payment of any such dividends will depend on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

ARTICLE 3.
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

3.1               Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of iGambit, Merger Sub, or Clinigence or the holder of any capital stock of iGambit, Merger Sub, or Clinigence:

(a)                Cancellation of Certain Clinigence Common Stock. Each share of Clinigence Common Stock that is owned by Clinigence (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cancelled Shares”) will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b)                Conversion of Clinigence Common Stock. Each share of Clinigence Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares) will be converted into the right to receive such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of iGambit Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”) that would result in the shareholders of Clinigence (the “Clinigence Stockholders”) having a right to receive an aggregate number of shares of iGambit Common Stock immediately following the Effective Time that represent eighty-five percent (85%) of the total issued and outstanding iGambit Common Stock on a fully diluted, as-converted basis immediately following the Effective Time, assuming there are no Dissenting Stockholder Interests as of the Effective Time (the “Exchange Ratio”). For the avoidance of doubt, the shareholders of iGambit shall, in the aggregate, own no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total issued and outstanding shares of iGambit Common Stock on a fully diluted, as-converted basis immediately following the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating the Exchange Ratio, (i) the aggregate number of shares of iGambit held by the Clinigence Stockholders immediately following the Effective Time shall include the number of iGambit Option Shares and the iGambit Warrant Shares on an as-converted basis, and (ii) the aggregate number of issued and outstanding iGambit Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall include subscriptions, options, warrants, conversion, exchange or other rights, agreements or commitments of any kind relating to or obligating iGambit to issue or sell, or cause to be issued or sold, any shares of capital stock of iGambit or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such shares from and after the Signing Date and to the Effective Time.

(c)                Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers, and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(d)                iGambit Capital Stock. iGambit shall reserve and take all other actions necessary or appropriate to have available for issuance or transfer a sufficient number of iGambit Common Stock for delivery in accordance with this Section 3.1.

 A-4 

 

3.2               Exchange Procedures.

(a)                Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, iGambit shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to Clinigence (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration for the Certificates; and the Book-Entry Shares. At or promptly following the Effective Time, iGambit shall deposit, or cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit, with the Exchange Agent certificates representing the shares of iGambit Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration (or make appropriate alternative arrangements if uncertificated shares of iGambit Common Stock represented by book-entry shares will be issued).

(b)                Procedures for Surrender; No Interest. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall send to each record holder of shares of Clinigence Common Stock at the Effective Time a transmittal letter in a form mutually agreed to by the parties (the “Transmittal Letter”). Each holder of shares of Clinigence Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Clinigence Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share upon: (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate; or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares; in each case, together with a duly completed and validly executed Transmittal Letter and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent or Clinigence. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE 3, each Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Share or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, shall immediately be cancelled.

(c)                Payments to Non-Registered Holders. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that: (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred; and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d)                Full Satisfaction. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Clinigence Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Clinigence Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE 3.

(e)                Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Shares of Clinigence Common Stock. All shares of iGambit Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by iGambit in respect of the iGambit Common Stock, the record date for which is after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

 A-5 

 

(f)                 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of Clinigence Common Stock or iGambit Common Stock shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of Clinigence or iGambit as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction (other than the Recapitalization), or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Exchange Ratio and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit iGambit or Clinigence to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(g)                Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, iGambit, Merger Sub, and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this ARTICLE 3 such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, iGambit, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, iGambit, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

(h)                No Fractional Shares. No fractional iGambit Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of Certificates for exchange, no dividend or distribution with respect to iGambit Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of iGambit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each holder of Clinigence Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share of iGambit Common Stock (after taking into account all Clinigence Common Stock owned by such Person) shall receive, in lieu thereof, such fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.

(i)                 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Clinigence Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this ARTICLE 3.

3.3               Treatment of Warrants and Other Stock-Based Compensation. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of iGambit, Merger Sub, or Clinigence or the holder of any capital stock of iGambit, Merger Sub, or Clinigence:

(a)                Clinigence Stock Options. Each option to acquire shares of Clinigence Common Stock (each, a “Clinigence Stock Option”) that is outstanding under any Clinigence Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, or any other Person, be assumed by iGambit and shall be converted into an iGambit Stock Option in accordance with this Section 3.3(a). Each such iGambit Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Clinigence Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each such iGambit Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall be an option to acquire that number of whole shares of iGambit Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) (the “iGambit Option Shares”) equal to the product of: (i) the number of shares of Clinigence Common Stock subject to such Clinigence Stock Option; and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of iGambit Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of Clinigence Common Stock of such Clinigence Stock Option by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, that the exercise price and the number of shares of iGambit Common Stock subject to the iGambit Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and, in the case of Clinigence Stock Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

 A-6 

 

(b)                Clinigence Warrants. Each warrant to acquire shares of Clinigence Common Stock (each, a “Clinigence Warrant”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, or any other Person, be assumed by iGambit and shall be converted into an iGambit Warrant in accordance with this Section 3.3(b). Each such iGambit Warrant as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Clinigence Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each such iGambit Warrant as so assumed and converted shall be a warrant to acquire that number of whole shares of iGambit Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) (the “iGambit Warrant Shares”) equal to the product of: (i) the number of shares of Clinigence Common Stock subject to such Clinigence Warrant; and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of iGambit Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of Clinigence Common Stock of such Clinigence Warrant by (B) the Exchange Ratio.

(c)                Clinigence Convertible Debt. To the extent that any convertible Debt of Clinigence is not repaid in full at Closing and holders of such Debt elect to convert such Debt, such Debt shall be deemed to have been converted into shares of Clinigence Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and the holders of such shares of Clinigence Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.2.

(d)                Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, that this Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

(e)                Capitalization Certificate. At least five (5) Business Days before the Closing Date, iGambit shall prepare and deliver to Clinigence a certificate (the “Capitalization Certificate”) setting forth, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of the total issued and outstanding iGambit Common Stock on a fully diluted, as-converted basis, calculated in accordance with Section 3.1(b).

(f)                 Consideration Spreadsheet. At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, Clinigence shall prepare and deliver to iGambit a spreadsheet (the “Consideration Spreadsheet”), certified by the President of Clinigence, which shall set forth, as of the Closing Date and based on the information provided by iGambit in the Capitalization Certificate, (i) each Clinigence Stockholder’s address and, if available to Clinigence, social security number (or tax identification number, if applicable), (ii) the number of shares of Clinigence Common Stock held by such Person, (iii) the respective certificate number(s) representing such shares of Clinigence Common Stock, and (iv) the number of shares of iGambit Common Stock issuable to such Person at the Closing in respect of such Clinigence Common Stock as Merger Consideration in accordance with this ARTICLE 3.

 A-7 

 

3.4               Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any outstanding shares of Clinigence Common Stock held by Persons who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Clinigence Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, if such Section provides for appraisal rights for such shares in the Merger (“Dissenting Shares”), and as of the Effective Time have neither effectively withdrawn nor lost any right to such appraisal, shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration or any other amounts payable under this ARTICLE 3 attributable to such Dissenting Shares. Such holders of Clinigence Common Stock (the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Clinigence Common Stock held by them in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such Dissenting Stockholders fail to perfect, effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Dissenting Stockholder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal, then as of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, whichever occurs later, such Dissenting Shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this ARTICLE 3, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate or Certificates representing such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 3.2. Prior to the Effective Time, Clinigence shall provide iGambit prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal or payment of the fair value of any shares of Clinigence Common Stock, the withdrawal of such demands and any other related instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by Clinigence. Prior to the Effective Time, Clinigence shall provide iGambit the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal or payment of the fair value of any shares of Clinigence Common Stock. Clinigence shall not, except with the prior written consent of iGambit, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or payment of the fair value of any shares of Clinigence Common Stock, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(a)                Neither iGambit nor any of its Subsidiaries owns or has ever owned any real property. iGambit or its Subsidiaries have a valid, binding and enforceable leasehold interest in each of the leased real properties (collectively, the “iGambit Facilities”) listed in Section 6.11 of the iGambit Disclosure Schedule, free and clear of any Encumbrances, except for iGambit Facility Leases and Permitted Encumbrances. Each lease, including all amendments thereto (excluding subordination and non-disturbance agreements, which will be delivered to Clinigence on or before Closing), evidencing such leased real property (the “iGambit Facility Leases”) is also listed in Section 6.11 of the iGambit Disclosure Schedule. Section 6.11 of the iGambit Disclosure Schedule sets forth, in respect of each iGambit Facility Lease, the date and name of the parties to such iGambit Facility Lease, description of the leased premises, the commencement and expiration dates of the lease term and any renewal terms, the amount of monthly or annual rental payments, the amount of the security deposit, and the status of rental payments, including any rental payments in arrears, any prepaid rent and the date through which rent is paid as of the Signing Date. iGambit or its Subsidiaries presently occupies each of the iGambit Facilities free of any subleases, occupancy agreements, licenses, concessions or other agreements granting to any party or parties (other than iGambit, its Subsidiaries or the applicable landlord) a right of use or occupancy of any portion of any iGambit Facility. iGambit’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession and quiet enjoyment of iGambit Facilities under each of iGambit Facility Leases has not been disturbed and there are no material disputes with respect to any of iGambit Facility Leases. Each iGambit Facility Lease is valid and in full force and effect, and, to iGambit’s Knowledge, no default or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, will constitute default has occurred under any iGambit Facility Lease or been claimed to have occurred by either the landlord or the tenant thereunder. All iGambit Facilities and tenant improvements located on or within such leased real property are adequate and suitable for the purposes for which they are currently being used and there are no deferred maintenance or repair items at any iGambit Facility in excess of $25,000. No security deposit or portion thereof deposited with respect to any iGambit Facility Lease has been applied in respect of a breach of or default under any of iGambit Facility Leases that has not been re-deposited in full. Neither iGambit nor any of its Subsidiaries owes and will not in the future owe any brokerage commissions or finder’s fees with respect to any of iGambit Facility Leases. There are no material unsatisfied capital expenditure requirements or remodeling obligations of iGambit or any of its Subsidiaries under any of iGambit Facility Leases, other than ordinary maintenance and repair obligations. Neither iGambit nor any of its Subsidiaries has assigned, transferred, sublet, or granted any person the right to use or occupy any of iGambit Facilities arising under iGambit Facility Leases or granted any other security interest in any iGambit Facility Lease or any interest therein. Neither iGambit nor any of its Subsidiaries has made any material modifications to iGambit Facilities that will be required to be restored or otherwise removed at the expiration or termination of any iGambit Facility Lease.

The iGambit Facility Leases constitute all of the written and oral agreements of any kind for the leasing, rental, use or occupancy of leased real property to which iGambit or any of its Subsidiaries is a party. The iGambit Facility Leases are the result of bona fide arm’s length negotiations between the parties thereto. No delivery date of any iGambit Facilities under any iGambit Facility Leases has been accelerated and the premises not yet delivered.

Each iGambit Facility is in good and operable condition and repair and in material compliance with all Applicable Laws.

(d)                iGambit does not know of any facts that would adversely affect the possession, use or occupancy of any of any leased real property or any iGambit Facility.

(e)                iGambit and its Subsidiaries have taken commercially reasonable steps sufficient to maintain and protect the secrecy, confidentiality, value and iGambit’s and its Subsidiaries’ rights in all Confidential Information and Trade Secrets of iGambit and its Subsidiaries, respectively. Since December 31, 2010, neither iGambit nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of any misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure of any Trade Secret or Confidential Information related to the iGambit Business, the iGambit Assets or the assets of any of its Subsidiaries, or any violation or breach of obligations of confidentiality with respect to such, nor does iGambit have Knowledge of any basis for such misappropriation, unauthorized disclosure, violation or breach.

(f)                 The operation of the iGambit Business does not infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property Rights of any Person, violate any right of any Person (including any right to privacy or publicity) or constitute unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction. Neither iGambit nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice from any Person claiming that such operation or any iGambit Product infringes or misappropriates any Intellectual Property Rights of any Person, violate any right of any Person (including any right to privacy or publicity) or constitutes unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction (nor does iGambit have Knowledge of any basis therefor).

No event or omission has occurred which would cause any such plan to lose its qualification under Section 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, or which would cause the iGambit to incur liability for any excise tax under the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the maintenance, operation, or any other aspect of any such Qualified Plan.

No lien has been imposed under Section 430(k)(n) of the Code or Section 306(g) of ERISA on the iGambit Assets or any iGambit ERISA Affiliate, and no event or circumstance has occurred that is reasonably likely to result in the imposition of any such lien on any such assets on account of any ERISA Plan.

(f)                 All contributions or other amounts withheld from any employee’s pay for deposit in a 401(k) plan or for payment of any health or insurance premiums or for any other purpose with respect to an iGambit Plan have been timely deposited or transmitted to an insurance company in accordance with ERISA and applicable Department of Labor regulations and guidance.

No security deposit or portion thereof deposited with respect to any Clinigence Facility Lease has been applied in respect of a breach of or default under any of Clinigence Facility Leases that has not been re-deposited in full. Neither Clinigence nor any of its Subsidiaries owes and will not in the future owe any brokerage commissions or finder’s fees with respect to any of Clinigence Facility Leases. There are no material unsatisfied capital expenditure requirements or remodeling obligations of Clinigence or any of its Subsidiaries under any of Clinigence Facility Leases, other than ordinary maintenance and repair obligations. Neither Clinigence nor any of its Subsidiaries has assigned, transferred, sublet, or granted any person the right to use or occupy any of Clinigence Facilities arising under Clinigence Facility Leases or granted any other security interest in any Clinigence Facility Lease or any interest therein.

ANNEX A – 1 Clinigence LLC 2017 and 2018 Audited Financials

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Clinigence, LLC

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Clinigence, LLC and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net working capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Clinigence, LLC (the “LLC”) was organized as a Georgia Limited Liability Company on March 19, 2010. Together with its subsidiary Clinigence Holdings, Inc. (“CLI”; with an inception date of October 2018); and its wholly owned subsidiary Clinigence India. The Company is a population health analytics company that provides turnkey SaaS solutions that enable connected intelligence across the care continuum by transforming massive amounts of data into actionable insights. The Company’s solutions help healthcare organizations throughout the United States improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of care, enhance population health management and optimize provider networks. The Company enables risk-bearing healthcare organizations achieve their objectives on the path to value-based care. The Company’s platform automatically extracts and delivers targeted data insights from its cloud-based analytics engine directly to the workflows and technologies of its customers. This enhances end-user workflows with actionable analytics, seamlessly delivers data from disparate sources to the point of engagement, automates the delivery of data to ensure on-time access, and reduces dependency on non-essential applications from the end-user’s workflow. All of this allows the healthcare organization to enable population health management, manage cost and utilization, improve quality, identify gaps in care, risk stratify and target patients, increase collaboration among providers and to optimize network provider performance.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Clinigence Holdings, Inc. and Clinigence India. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generated primarily by software licenses, training, and consulting. Software licenses are provided as SaaS-based subscriptions that grants access to proprietary online databases and data management solutions. Training and consulting are project based and billable to customers on a monthly-basis or task-basis.

Revenue from training and consulting are generally recognized upon delivery of training or completion of the consulting project. The duration of training and consulting projects are typically a few weeks or months and last no longer than 12 months.

SaaS-based subscriptions are generally marketed under multi-year agreements with annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or month-to-month renewals and revenue is recognized ratably over the renewal period with the unearned amounts received recorded as deferred revenue.

 A-1-6 

 

 

Deferred revenue is recorded as accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and was not significant at December 31, 2018 and 2017. For multiple- element arrangements accounted for in accordance with specific software accounting guidance, multiple deliverables are segregated into units of accounting which are delivered items that have value to a customer on a standalone basis.

Cost of Sales 

The Company’s costs of sales primarily consist of cloud computing and storage costs, datasets, and contracted and internal labor costs. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, provisions for doubtful accounts, and valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. The Company does not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent the amounts on deposit or invested are in excess of amounts that are insured.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent valid claims against debtors for sales arising on or before the balance sheet date and are reduced to their estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Amounts are written-off only after all reasonable collection efforts have been made. The Company did not have a material allowance for accounts of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company grants credit to its customers during the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, consisting of computers and other office equipment, is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and improvements of a major nature are capitalized.

 A-1-7 

 

At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. 

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets include property and equipment. These assets are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives. For purposes of determining whether there are any impairment losses, management evaluates the carrying value of the Company’s identifiable long-lived assets, including their useful lives, when indicators of impairment are present, considering whether the undiscounted lowest identifiable cash flows are sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the applicable asset or asset group. If an impairment is indicated, the Company computes the impairment based on the fair value of the asset, as compared to the carrying value of the asset, such a loss would be charged to expense in the period the impairment is identified. Furthermore, if the review of the carrying values of the long-lived assets indicates impairment of such assets, the Company may determine that shorter estimated useful lives are more appropriate.

Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company. As such, profits and losses of the Company are allocated and taxed on an individual member holder basis without impact to the Company on an asset and liability basis. In late 2018, the LLC formed Clinigence Holdings, Inc. (“CLI”), a C-Corporation. As of, and for the year ended December 31, 2018, CLI had immaterial assets and operations.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits or a liability for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company does not expect to have any unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of income tax expense. There were no tax related interest and penalties recorded for 2018 and 2017. Since the Company incurred net operating losses in every tax year since inception, all of its income tax returns are subject to examination and adjustments by the IRS for at least three years following the year in which the tax attributes are utilized.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non- financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

 A-1-8 

 

 

Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 

Level 2 Inputs: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Inputs: Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments carried at cost, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate the carrying amounts presented in the balance sheet due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation costs for eligible employees and directors are measured at fair value on the date of grant and are expensed over the requisite service period using a straight- line attribution method for the entire award that are subject to only service vesting conditions

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements using the effective interest method. 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has not generated sufficient cash flows from its operations to fund the Company’s on-going obligations as they arise. Additionally, the Company has a working capital deficit at December 31, 2018. In the future, the Company may require sources of capital in addition to cash on hand to continue operations and to implement its strategy.

As further discussed in Note 8, the Company has raised $4,015,000 since December 31, 2018 through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CLI, and has entered into a capital contribution agreement to acquire Qualmetrix, Inc.

The Company may be forced to seek credit line facilities from financial institutions, equity investments or debt arrangements. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on reasonable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company may be unable to adequately fund its business plan. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financials do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 A-1-9 

 

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company loaned Qualmetrix, Inc. $116,964 included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheets. In March 2019, and further discussed in Note 8, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Clinigence Holdings, Inc., acquired the assets and operations and assumed the liabilities of Qualmetrix, Inc. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company entered into service contracts with Qualmetrix whereby it compensated Qualmetrix $90,000 per year.

In 2018, the Company received convertible debt proceeds totaling $548,997, from related parties. The terms of the convertible debt are discussed in more detail in Note 5.

$12,000 per month. The final payment under these short-term note arrangements was paid in July 2019.

In June 2017, the Company entered into a Revenue Loan Investment for net working capital proceeds of $500,000. The Company is required to make monthly principal and interest payment on the Revenue Loan based on it net cash receipts from operations in the following 3 tiers:

Tier 1 – Payments at a rate of 6.0% of the net cash receipts from the immediate month prior until cumulative loan payments are based on $2,500,000 of net cash receipts.

 A-1-10 

 

From the inception of the Revenue Loan in June 2017 through December 31, 2018 the Company has paid its monthly principal and interest payments based on the Tier 1 net cash receipts.

In May 2013, the Company entered into a note agreement with a financial institution whereby it received net working capital proceeds of $500,000. The Company makes monthly principal and interest payments approximating $6,000 per month as of December 31, 2018 based on a variable interest rate of Prime plus 2% (7.5% as of December 31, 2018).

Convertible Notes

Convertible notes payable consisted of the following at December 31:

Note Description  2018  2017
Convertible Notes Payable:      
Notes payable convertible into Member Units at $0.44 per Unit; nominal interest rate of 5%; and maturity date in April 2018   —      50,000 
Notes payable convertible into Member Units at $0.44 per Unit; nominal interest rate of 5%; and maturity date in January 2019   200,000    200,000

Current portion   (300,000)   (50,000)
Total convertible and other notes payable, net  $299,996   $200,000 

Beginning in April 2018, and through August 2018, the Company entered into 12% convertible note agreements for aggregate proceeds of $417,000 with investors at an initial conversion price of $0.59 per share and convertible into common or preferred member units at the option of the holder and maturing on the three-year anniversary date of issuance. No payments are due until maturity. The notes carry a mandatory conversion feature in the event the Company receives a Qualified Financing defined as an equity financing involving one or more third party institutional or venture capital investors independent of the existing note and equity holders in excess of $1,00,000. In the event of a qualified financing the convertible notes will be converted at 65% of initial stated conversion price. Through December 31, 2018, no qualified financing has been achieved. The Company determined that the discounted conversion price based on the receipt of a qualified financing resulted in the notes containing a beneficial conversion feature. Since the contingency has not been met, the Company has not recognized the accounting impacts of the beneficial conversion feature in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.

In 2014 and 2015, the Company entered into 5% convertible note agreements for aggregate proceeds of $250,000 with investors at an initial conversion price of $0.44 per share and convertible into common or preferred member units at the option of the holder and maturing on the three-year anniversary date of issuance. No payments are due until maturity. The notes carry a mandatory conversion feature in the event the Company receives a Qualified Financing defined as an equity financing involving one or more third party institutional or venture capital investors independent of the existing note and equity holders in excess of $1,00,000. In the event of a qualified financing the convertible notes will be converted at 80% of initial stated conversion price. Through December 31, 2018, no qualified financing has been achieved. The Company determined that the discounted conversion price based on the receipt of a qualified financing resulted in the notes containing a beneficial conversion feature. Since the contingency has not been met, the Company has not recognized the accounting impacts of the beneficial conversion feature in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.

 A-1-11 

 

As part of the 2014 note issuance, the Company issued the note holder warrants convertible into 402,062 common or preferred member units at a rate of $0.44 per unit at the option of the holder. The warrants, with an estimated value of $90,000 on the grant date, were valued using a Black-Scholes model and were fully amortized as of December 31, 2016. In the event of a qualified financing the convertible notes will be converted at 80% of initial stated conversion price. Through December 31, 2018, no qualified financing has been achieved. The warrants will expire in January 2021 if not exercised.

In April 2018, the Company settled the 5% convertible notes totaling approximately $58,000 representing $50,000 of principal and approximately $8,000 of previously accrued interest.

NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated its financial statements for subsequent events through July 23, 2019, the date these financial statements were available to be issued. 

Through June 2019, the Company issued 3,212,000 shares of Clinigence Holdings, Inc. common stock for cash proceeds totaling $4,015,000.

On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement by and among Clinigence Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), Qualmetrix, Inc., and the Members of Clinigence, LLC (“Agreement”) whereby Clinigence Holdings, Inc. acquired all of the assets and operations and assumed all of the liabilities of Qualmetrix, Inc.

All outstanding shares of Qualmetrix, Inc. immediately preceding the exchange were treated as one class. On the date of the transaction, the total consideration for the acquisition of Qualmetrix, Inc. had an estimated fair value of approximately

$6,277,439 and is expected to primarily be allocated to identifiable intangible assets. The Company has not yet completed its purchase price allocation. 

As part of the Contribution Agreement, 15,978,062 issued and outstanding member units of Clinigence LLC were exchanged for 7,533,000 shares of common stock of common stock of Clinigence Holdings, Inc. All outstanding preferred member units, common units, and incentive units of Clinigence LLC immediately preceding the exchange were treated as one class. In addition, and in conjunction with the Contribution Agreement, the Company agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan. As part of the adoption, the Company agreed to issue two of its key employees a total of 945,000 restricted shares of common stock of Clinigence Holdings, Inc. in the event the Company’s shares are listed on a public exchange prior to December 31, 2019.

Upon closing the Contribution Agreement, any convertible Debt of Clinigence LLC or QualMetrix that is not repaid in full at Closing and holders of such Debt elect to convert such Debt and any holders of warrants issued by Clinigence LLC or QualMetrix elect to exercise such warrants, Clinigence Holdings shall, to the extent permissible under applicable federal and state securities laws as reasonably determined by Clinigence Holdings, issue Clinigence Holdings Shares to the holders of such warrants and such Debt in satisfaction thereof (or, in the case of holders of convertible Debt or warrants of QualMetrix, issue Clinigence Holdings Shares to QualMetrix as part of the QualMetrix Closing Shares for issuance to such holders upon the liquidation of QualMetrix). 

The Company did not incur material acquisition costs associated with the Contribution Agreement.

ANNEX A – 2 QualMetrix Inc. 2017 and 2018 Audited Financials

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Qualmetrix, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Qualmetrix, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Organization

Qualmetrix, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized as a Delaware Corporation on July 19, 2013.

Nature of Business

QualMetrix, Inc., founded in 2013 and based in Miramar, Florida, is a population health analytics company that provides turnkey SaaS solutions that enable connected intelligence across the care continuum by transforming massive amounts of data into actionable insights. The company’s solutions help healthcare organizations improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of care, enhance population health management and optimize provider networks. The company enables risk-bearing healthcare organizations to achieve their objectives on the path to value-based care. The Company’s platform automatically extracts and delivers targeted data insights from its cloud-based analytics engine directly to the workflows and technologies of its customers. This enhances end-user workflows with actionable analytics, seamlessly delivers data from disparate sources to the point of engagement, automates the delivery of data to ensure on-time access, and reduces dependency on non-essential applications from the end-user’s workflow. All of this allows the healthcare organization to enable population health management, manage cost and utilization, improve quality, identify gaps in care, risk stratify and target patients, increase collaboration among providers and to optimize network provider performance.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Going Concern

The Company had net loss of approximately $250,000 and $1,200,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $715,000 and $480,000 for each year end, respectively.

 A-2-6 

 

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

These factors raise significant doubt as to the Company’s ability to pursue its operations without additional capital sources or continue as a going concern. As part of management’s plans, and described in more detail in Note 8, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with Clinigence Holdings, Inc. whereby Clinigence Holdings will acquire the assets and operations and assume the liabilities of the Company.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is generated primarily by software licenses, maintenance support on software licenses, and training and consulting. Software licenses, including maintenance support, are provided as SaaS-based subscriptions that grants access to proprietary online databases and data management solutions. Training and consulting are project based and billable to customers on a monthly-basis or task-basis.

Revenue from training and consulting are generally recognized upon delivery of training or completion of the consulting project. The duration of training and consulting projects are typically a few weeks or months and last no longer than 12 months.

SaaS-based subscriptions, including maintenance support, are generally marketed under multi-year agreements with annual, semi-annual, quarterly, or month-to-month renewals and revenue is recognized ratably over the renewal period with the unearned amounts received recorded as deferred revenue. SaaS-based subscriptions are considered multiple-element arrangements because of the multiple deliverables which includes access to the software platform and the related maintenance support. For multiple- element arrangements accounted for in accordance with specific software accounting guidance, multiple deliverables are segregated into units of accounting which are delivered items that have value to a customer on a standalone basis. The maintenance support provides technical support to the customer when the customer has access to the SaaS-based software platform. Absent of a subscription to the SaaS-base software platform, a customer does not receive maintenance support from the Company nor can the customer purchase maintenance support from a third-party provider. As such, maintenance support is not considered a deliverable item that is standalone or separate from the SaaS-based software platform.

Cost of Sales

The Company’s costs of sales primarily consist of cloud computing and storage costs, datasets, and contracted and internal labor costs.

 A-2-7 

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, provisions for doubtful accounts, software amounts eligible for capitalization and useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Cash

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase.  The Company does not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.  

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent valid claims against debtors for sales arising on or before the balance sheet date and are reduced to their estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Amounts are written-off only after all reasonable collection efforts have been made. The Company did not have a material allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company grants credit to its customers during the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral.

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had sales to one and two customers that approximated 11% and 35% of total sales, respectively. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had amounts receivable from one and three customers that approximated 97% and 96%, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and improvements of a major nature are capitalized.

At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in the accompanying statements of operations.

 A-2-8 

 

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was not material.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary in order to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be recovered.

The Company has established a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets that are not recoverable from taxable temporary differences because the Company is unable to conclude that future utilization of a portion of its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets is more likely than not.

The calculation of the Company’s tax positions involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations in several different state tax jurisdictions. The Company is periodically reviewed by tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due.  These reviews include inquiries regarding the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions.  The Company records estimated reserves for exposures associated with positions that it takes on its income tax returns that do not meet the more likely than not standards.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non- financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical

 A-2-9 

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Inputs: Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments carried at cost, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and related party payable approximate the carrying amounts presented in the balance sheet due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets include property and equipment. These assets are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives. For purposes of determining whether there are any impairment losses, management evaluates the carrying value of the Company’s identifiable long-lived assets, including their useful lives, when indicators of impairment are present, considering whether the undiscounted lowest identifiable cash flows are sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the applicable asset or asset group. If an impairment is indicated, the Company computes the impairment based on the fair value of the asset, as compared to the carrying value of the asset, such a loss would be charged to expense in the period the impairment is identified. Furthermore, if the review of the carrying values of the long-lived assets indicates impairment of such assets, the Company may determine that shorter estimated useful lives are more appropriate. There was no impairment at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 and other subsequent revisions amend the guidance for revenue recognition to replace numerous, industry specific requirements and converges areas under this topic with those of the International Financial Reporting Standards. The ASU implements a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, as opposed to transfer of risk and rewards. The amendment also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Topic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures of financial instruments including the requirement to measure certain equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), which amends the existing accounting standards for leases. The new standard requires lessees to record a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet (with the exception of short-term leases), whereas under current accounting standards the Company’s lease portfolio consists primarily of operating leases and is not recognized on its balance sheets. The new standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018- 11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an alternative modified transition method. Under this method, the cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings is recognized on the date of adoption with prior periods not restated.

The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019, using the alternative modified transition method and will record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of that date. Prior periods will not be restated. In preparation of adopting ASC 842, the Company is implementing additional internal controls to enable future preparation of financial information in accordance with ASC 842. The Company has

also substantially completed its evaluation of the impact on the Company’s lease portfolio. The Company believes the largest impact will be on the balance sheets for the accounting of facilities-related leases, which represents a majority of its operating leases it has entered into as a lessee. These leases will be recognized under the new standard as ROU assets and operating lease liabilities. The Company will also provide expanded disclosures for its leasing arrangements.

The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company expects to elect: (1) the “package of practical expedients”, which permits it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs, and (2) the use-of-hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of ROU assets. In addition, the new standard provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting that the Company anticipates making, comprised of the following: (1) the election for classes of underlying asset to not separate non- lease components from lease components, and (2) the election for short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify.

 A-2-11 

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The Company will finalize its accounting assessment and quantitative impact of the adoption during fiscal year 2019. As the Company completes its evaluation of this new standard, new information may arise that could change the Company’s current understanding of the impact to leases. Additionally, the Company will continue to monitor industry activities and any additional guidance provided by regulators, standards setters, or the accounting profession, and adjust the Company’s assessment and implementation plans accordingly.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). The new standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on the financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). This ASU provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The issues addressed in this ASU that will affect the Company are classifying debt prepayments or debt extinguishment costs and contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”), to clarify which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2017-09 will be applied prospectively when changes to the terms or conditions of a share- based payment award occur. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 A-2-12 

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part 1) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controlling Interests with a Scope Exception” (“ASU 2017-11”). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. The amendments in Part 1 of this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company adopted ASU 2017-11 on January 1, 2018.

NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

In January through April 2018, the Company issued additional note to its former Chief Executive Officer totaling $92,000 maturing one year from the date of issuance.

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized interest expense of $10,785 and $1,250, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, all of the interest recognized remains unpaid and outstanding.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.

The Company recognizes reductions in its deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether it will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded.

 A-2-14 

 

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The Company’s deferred tax assets by period are as follows:

   December 31,  December 31,
   2018  2017
Deferred Tax Asset  $2,431,000   $2,351,000 
Valuation Allowance   (2,431,000)   (2,351,000)
Net Deferred Tax Asset  $—     $—   

The components of income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are as follows:

   December 31,  December 31,
   2018  2017
Change in Net Operating Loss  $80,000   $678,000)
Change in Valuation Allowance   (80,000)   (678,000)

 A-2-15 

 

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

On December 22, 2017, the President signed into law Public Law No. 115-97, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), following its passage by the United States Congress. The TCJA makes significant changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws including among other changes a federal corporate tax rate reduction from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, repeal of the corporate AMT tax system, and immediate expensing of certain types of business assets placed in service after September 27, 2017. Due to the impact of the Company’s full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets, the TCJA had minimal impact on the Company’s provision for income taxes. As a result of the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate, the Company recorded additional tax expense of $1,313,000 and $1,140,000 with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $9,432,000. The Company does not believe that it has any uncertain tax positions, correspondingly, no estimated accruals for interest and penalties have been made in the accompanying financial statements.

At the end of 2018 and 2017, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $2,351,000 and $2,431 against which a valuation allowance of $2,351,000 and $2,431,000 has been provided.

This asset is related to federal and state net operating losses that expire beginning in the year ended December 31, 2033.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third-party claims. These contracts primarily relate to (i) certain leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for liabilities and other claims arising from the Company’s use of the applicable premises; (ii) certain agreements with the Company’s officers and employees, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship; and (iii) pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, under which the Company shall indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the seller, its affiliates, from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, expenses or liabilities incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or relating to any breach of any covenant or agreement or any claim of fraud of intentional misrepresentation. The terms of such obligations vary by contract and, in most instances; a specific or maximum dollar amount is not explicitly stated therein. Generally, amounts under these contracts cannot be reasonably estimated until a specific claim is asserted. No claims have been asserted and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities on the Company’s balance sheet.

 A-2-16 

 

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may face various claims brought by third parties and may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert its rights, including intellectual property disputes, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes. Any of these claims could subject the Company to litigation. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any pending litigation that is believed to have material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company was authorized to issue 40,512,800, shares of common stock and 20,179,600 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.00001. The Company had 14,547,059 shares of common stock; 7,902,800 shares of Series A preferred stock; and 12,276,800 shares of Series B preferred stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The terms of each series of preferred stock was defined by the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders prior to issuance.

Series B Preferred Stock

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued a total of 12,276,800 shares of Series B preferred stock (“Preferred”) at a price of $0.41 per share for total gross cash proceeds of approximately $5,000,000. Each share of Series B Preferred has the following rights:

Voting Rights - Each share of Series B preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of common shares into which such Class B preferred shares could be converted. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.

Dividend Rights - Each share of Series B preferred stock is entitled to receive legally available funds for cash dividends at a rate of 8% of the original issue price of $0.41 per share, prior and in preference to any dividend declared on the Company’s Series A preferred stock and common stock, when and if dividends are declared by the Board of Directors. Such dividends are non-cumulative. No dividend was declared during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Liquidation Rights - Upon any liquidation transaction, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior to any distribution of any assets of the Company to holders of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, an amount per share equal to the original issue price ($0.41) for each share of Series B Preferred Stock then held by them plus all declared or undeclared and unpaid dividends. If, upon any such Liquidation Transaction, the assets of the Company shall be insufficient to make payment in full of all applicable preferential amounts to all holders of Preferred Stock, then the assets and funds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Preferred Stock in proportion to the preferential amount to which each holder of Preferred Stock would otherwise be respectively entitled. The liquidation preference was waived in connection with the merger subsequent to year end (see Note 8).

 A-2-17 

 

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED)

After the payment of the full liquidation preference of all preferred stock, the remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution in such Liquidation Transaction, if any, shall be distributed ratably, first to the Series A preferred holders with any remaining assets to the holders of common stock.

Mandatory Conversion Upon either (a) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public at a price of at least three (3) times the Series B Original Issue Price (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Common Stock), in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, resulting in at least $50,000,000 (fifty million dollars) of gross proceeds to the Corporation or (b) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the Requisite Holders (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to herein as the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), then (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective conversion rate.

Deemed Liquidation - A "Liquidation Transaction" shall be deemed to occur, unless the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation at least 10 days prior to the effective date of any such event, if the Corporation shall (a) merge or consolidate in which the Corporation is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation; or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; or (b) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

 A-2-18 

 


NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED)

Holder Conversion RightsThe holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the following conversion rights:

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, and without payment of additional consideration by the holder, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series B Original Issue Price of $0.41 (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock) in the case of the Series B Preferred Stock, by the Conversion Price applicable to such shares (such quotient is referred to herein as the "Conversion Rate"), determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date of conversion.

In the event the Company issues additional equity, and/or equity-linked instrument at a price less than the then effective conversion price, the conversion price shall be reduced by the quotient of the pre issuance diluted common stock outstanding (including the conversion of the Series B preferred outstanding and the post-issuance common shares outstanding; multiplied by the effective conversion in effect immediately prior to such issuance.

Series A Preferred Stock

Prior to December 31, 2015, the Company issued a total of 7,902,800 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“Preferred”) at a price of $0.50 per share for total consideration of $3,928,000. Each share of Series A preferred stock carries substantively the same features as the Series B preferred stock except for its liquidation preference and initial conversion price being $0.50.

Common Stock

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had 14,547,059 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Stock Options

In 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) providing for the issuance of 5,064,000 shares of common stock on a one for one basis underlying each stock option granted. Stock options granted under the Plan generally vest equally over a 3 to 4-year period beginning on the grant date. The exercise price for each stock option award approximates the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and, in most cases, expire ten years from the date of grant. The Plan terminates no later than the tenth anniversary of the approval of the incentive plans by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had 4,376,797 options available for future issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan.

 A-2-19 

 


NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED)

The Company’s Board of Directors administers the discretionary option grant and stock issuance programs. The Board determines which eligible individuals are to receive option grants under the Plan, the time or times when the grants are to be made, the number of shares subject to each grant, the status of any granted option as either an incentive stock option or a non-statutory stock option under the federal tax laws, the vesting schedule to be in effect for the option grant and the maximum term for which any granted option is to remain outstanding. 

The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value for all stock option awards. The Company estimates the expected term for new grants based upon the Company’s best estimate. The Company’s expected volatility for the expected term of the option is based upon the historical volatility experienced in the Company’s stock price. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company determined the fair value of non-vested shares using the precedent transaction method. The Company did not grant any options during the year ended December 31, 2018. The following table illustrates the assumptions used for all awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2017:

Expected volatility   51.3%
Expected dividends   —   
Expected term (years)   6.25 
Risk-free rate   1.50%

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (CONTINUED)

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the aggregate grant date fair value of the stock options issued was approximately $0.04 per share. Stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options for the periods presented was approximately $7,000 and $6,500 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Total unearned compensation cost approximated $14,000 at December 31, 2018.

(1)          Exercise Price. The Exercise Price means the price per share at which an Optionee may exercise his Option to acquire all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock that are the subject of such Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exercise Price of any Common Stock made the subject of an Option be less than the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock, determined as of the Date of Grant.

(2)          Exercise Procedures. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be exercised by providing written notice to the Committee, together with payment of the Exercise Price, which notice and payment must be received by the Committee on or before the earlier of (i) the date such Option expires, and (ii) the last date on which such Option may be exercised as provided in paragraph (f) below.

(3)          Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price times the number of the shares to be purchased upon exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid in full at the time of exercise. The Committee will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Committee will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant.  Such consideration for both types of Options may consist entirely of: (i) cash; (ii) check; (iii) promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, (iv) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Corporation, as the Committee determines in its sole discretion; (v) consideration received by the Corporation under a broker-assisted (or other) cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Corporation in connection with the Plan; (vi) by net exercise; (vii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or (viii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

 C-11 

 

(f)           Effect of Termination of Service. Subject to paragraph (k) below regarding Special Rules for Incentive Stock Options, the following provisions shall govern the exercise of any Options granted to an Optionee that are vested and outstanding at the time Optionee’s Service ceases:

(1)          Termination of Employment for Reasons Other than Death, Disability or a Termination for Cause. Should Optionee’s Service with the Corporation cease for any reason other than death, Disability or a termination for Cause (as determined by the Committee), then each Option shall remain exercisable until the close of business on the earlier of (i) 3 months following the date Optionee’s Service ceased or (ii) the expiration date of the Option.

(2)          Termination of Employment Due to Death or Disability. Should Optionee’s Service cease due to death or Disability, then each Option shall remain exercisable until the close of business on the earlier of (i) the 12 month anniversary of the date Optionee’s Service ceased, or (ii) the expiration date of the Option.

(3)          Termination for Cause. Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for Cause while his Option remains outstanding, each outstanding Option granted to Optionee (whether vested or unvested) shall terminate immediately and Optionee shall forfeit all rights with respect to such Award.

(g)          Limited Transferability of Options. An Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee during his lifetime and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of inheritance following Optionee’s death.

(h)          Acceleration of Exercise Vesting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Committee, in its discretion, may allow the exercise in whole or in part, at any time after the Date of Grant, any Option held by an Optionee, which Option has not previously become exercisable. In the event of a Change of Control of the Corporation, the Committee, in its discretion may provide that Options shall become 100% vested and exercisable on the date of the Change of Control. Options shall also become 100% vested in the event Optionee dies or becomes Disabled while employed.

(i)           Modification, Extension, Cancellation and Regrant. Within the limitations of the Plan and after taking into account any possible adverse tax or accounting consequences, the Committee may modify, or extend outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Corporation or another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair the Optionee’s rights or increase the Optionee’s obligations under such Option or cause a violation of Code Section 409A.

 C-12 

 

(j)           Term of Option. No Option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the date that the Option is granted.

(k)          Special Rules For Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”). In addition to the provisions of this Section 6, the terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan. Except as modified by the provisions of this paragraph (k), all of the provisions of the Plan shall be applicable to Incentive Stock Options. Options that are specifically designated as Nonstatutory Options are not subject to the terms of this paragraph (k).

(1)          Eligibility. Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees.

(2)          Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common stock (determined as of the Date of Grant) for which one or more Incentive Options granted to any Employee pursuant to the Plan may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that an Optionee’s Options exceed that limit, they will be treated as Nonstatutory Options (but all of the other provisions of the Option shall remain applicable), with the first Options that were awarded to Optionee to be treated as Incentive Stock Options.

(3)          Restrictions on Sale of Shares. Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option may not be sold by the Employee until the expiration of 12 months after exercise and 24 months from the Date of Grant. Shares that do not satisfy these restrictions shall be treated as a grant of Nonstatutory Options.

(4)          Special Rules for Incentive Stock Options Granted to 10% Stockholder.

a.            Exercise Price. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Stock Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, the Exercise Price of the Incentive Stock Option must be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Corporation’s Common Stock.

b.            Term of Option. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Stock Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the Option term shall not exceed five years measured from the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted.

c.            Definition of 10% Stockholder. For purposes of the Plan, an Employee is deemed to be a “10% Stockholder” if he owns more than 10% of the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

(5)          Special Rules for Exercise of Incentive Stock Options Following Termination of Employment.

a.            Death or Disability. In order to preserve tax treatment as an Incentive Stock Option, Options granted to an Optionee who dies or becomes Disabled while employed must be exercised by the Optionee or his executor or beneficiary no later than (i) 12 months following the date of death or Disability, or (ii) the expiration date of the Incentive Stock Option, if earlier.

 C-13 

 

b.            Termination For Reason Other Than Death or Disability. In order to preserve tax treatment as an Incentive Stock Option, an Optionee must exercise any vested and outstanding Incentive Stock Options no later than: (i) three (3) months following the date the Optionee terminates employment for any reason other than death or Disability; or (ii) the expiration date of the Incentive Stock Option if earlier.

(6)          Miscellaneous. With respect to Incentive Stock Options, if this Plan does not contain any provision required to be included herein under Section 422 of the Code, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated herein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length herein. To the extent any Option that is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option cannot so qualify, such Option, to that extent, shall be deemed to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option for all purposes of this Plan.

(l)           Shareholder Rights. Until the Shares covered by an Option are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Corporation or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Corporation), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  The Corporation will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, at the time a grant is made, prescribe restrictions in addition to or other than time vesting, including the satisfaction of corporate or individual performance objectives, which shall be applicable to all or any portion of the Restricted Stock. Corporate or individual performance criteria include, but are not limited to, designated levels or changes in total shareholder return, net income, total asset return, or such other financial measures or performance criteria as the Committee may select. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the Participant’s Restricted Stock Agreement.

(c)          Share Certificates and Transfer Restrictions. Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant may be held under the Participant’s name in a book entry account maintained by or on behalf of the Corporation. Upon vesting of the Restricted Stock, the Corporation will establish procedures regarding the delivery of share certificates or the transfer of shares in book entry form. None of the Restricted Stock may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of prior to the date on which such Restricted Stock vests in accordance with the Plan.

 C-14 

 

(d)          Voting and Dividend Rights. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee either at the time Restricted Stock is awarded or at any time thereafter prior to the lapse of the restrictions, holders of Restricted Stock shall not have the right to vote such shares or the right to receive any dividends with respect to such shares, until such shares are vested. All distributions, if any, received by the Participant with respect to Restricted Stock as a result of any stock split, stock distributions, combination of shares, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the restrictions of the Plan.

(e)          Award Agreements. The terms of the Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall be as set forth in an Award Agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time determine. Each Award Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Committee may deem appropriate. No Person shall have any rights under the Plan unless and until the Corporation and the Participant have executed an Award Agreement setting forth the grant and the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock. The terms of the Plan shall govern all Restricted Stock granted under the Plan. In the event that any provision of an Award Agreement shall conflict with any term in the Plan as constituted on the Date of Grant, the term in the Plan shall control.

(f)           Time Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock granted under the Plan will vest in accordance with the following schedule:

Completed Years of Employment/Service From Date of Grant  Cumulative Vesting Percentage
 1    25%
 2    50%
 3    75%
 4 Years or more    100%

 

In the event a Participant terminates employment prior to 100% vesting, any Shares of Restricted Stock which are not vested shall be forfeited immediately and permanently. However, a Participant shall be 100% vested in his Restricted Stock in the event he terminates employment by reason of death or Disability. A Participant shall also be 100% vested in his Restricted Stock on the date of a Change of Control. If a Participant’s Service is terminated for Cause as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, his or her Restricted Stock Award (whether vested or unvested) shall be forfeited immediately. The Committee may approve Restricted Stock grants that provide alternate vesting schedules. Fractional shares shall be rounded down.

 C-15 

 

(g)          Acceleration of Vesting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may accelerate, in whole or in part, the vesting schedule applicable to a grant of Restricted Stock.

SECTION 8. Restricted Stock Units

(a)          Grant.  Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Committee.  After the Committee determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, it will advise the Participant in an Award Agreement of the terms, conditions, and restrictions (if any) related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.

(b)          Vesting Criteria and Other Terms.  The Committee will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant.  The Committee may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Corporation-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment), or any other basis (including the passage of time) determined by the Committee in its discretion. Unless a different vesting schedule is set forth in the Award Agreement, the following time vesting schedule will apply:

Completed Years of Employment/Service From Date of Grant  Cumulative Vesting Percentage
 1    25%
 2    50%
 3    75%
 4 Years or more    100%

(c)          Earning of Restricted Stock Units.  Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Committee and as set forth in the Award Agreement on the Date of Grant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout as long as such reduction or waiver does not violate Code Section 409A.

(d)          Dividend Equivalents.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units that may be settled in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

(e)          Form and Timing of Payment.  Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made upon the date(s) determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both. Timing and payment of Restricted Stock Units will be subject to and structured to comply with the rules of Code Section 409A and the treasury regulations thereunder.

(f)           Cancellation.  On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Corporation.

 C-16 

 

SECTION 9. Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)          Grant. A Participant may be granted one or more Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan and such SARs shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. A SAR may relate to a particular Stock Option and may be granted simultaneously with or subsequent to the Stock Option to which it relates. Except to the extent otherwise modified in the grant, (i) SARs not related to a Stock Option shall be granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Stock Options as set forth in Section 6, and (ii) all SARs related to Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be granted subject to the same restrictions and conditions and shall have the same vesting, exercisability, forfeiture and termination provisions as the Stock Options to which they relate. SARs may be subject to additional restrictions and conditions. The per-share base price for exercise or settlement of SARs shall be determined by the Committee, but shall be a price that is equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of such shares. Other than as adjusted pursuant to Section 12, the base price of SARs may not be reduced without shareholder approval (including canceling previously awarded SARs and regranting them with a lower base price).

(b)          Exercise and Payment. To the extent a SAR relates to a Stock Option, the SAR may be exercised only when the related Stock Option could be exercised and only when the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to the Stock Option exceed the exercise price of the Stock Option. When a Participant exercises such SARs, the Stock Options related to such SARs shall automatically be cancelled with respect to an equal number of underlying shares. Unless the Committee decides otherwise (in its sole discretion), SARs shall only be paid in cash or in shares of Common Stock. For purposes of determining the number of shares available under the Plan, each Stock Appreciation Right shall count as one share of Common Stock, without regard to the number of shares, if any, that are issued upon the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right and upon such payment. Shares issuable in connection with a SAR are subject to the transfer restrictions under the Plan.

SECTION 10. Performance Units and Performance Shares.

(a)          Grant of Performance Units/Shares. Subject to the terms of the Plan, Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to eligible Employees, Consultants or Outside Directors at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant.

(b)          Value of Performance Units/Shares. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of the grant. Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. The Committee shall set performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Participants. The time period during which the performance goals must be met shall be called a “Performance Period.”

 C-17 

 

(c)          Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Committee will set Performance Goals or other vesting provisions (including, without limitation, continued status as an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director.  The time period during which the performance objectives or other vesting provisions must be met will be called the "Performance Period."  Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine.  The Committee may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Corporation-wide, divisional, or individual goals, applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion.

(d)          Measurement of Performance Goals.  Performance Goals shall be established by the Committee on the basis of targets to be attained ("Performance Targets") with respect to one or more measures of business or financial performance (each, a "Performance Measure"), subject to the following:

(i)           Performance Measures. For each Performance Period, the Committee shall establish and set forth in writing the Performance Measures, if any, and any particulars, components and adjustments relating thereto, applicable to each Participant.  The Performance Measures, if any, will be objectively measurable and will be based upon the achievement of a specified percentage or level in one or more objectively defined and non-discretionary factors preestablished by the Committee.  Performance Measures may be one or more of the following, as determined by the Committee:  (i) sales or non-sales revenue; (ii) return on revenues; (iii) operating income; (iv) income or earnings including operating income; (v) net income; (vi) pre-tax income or after-tax income; (vii) net income excluding amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets and/or excluding charges attributable to the adoption of new accounting pronouncements; (viii) raising of financing or fundraising; (ix) project financing; (x) revenue backlog; (xi) power purchase agreement backlog; (xii) gross margin; (xiii) operating margin or profit margin; (xiv) capital expenditures, cost targets, reductions and savings and expense management; (xv) return on assets (gross or net), return on investment, return on capital, or return on shareholder equity; (xvi) cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on investment (discounted or otherwise), net cash provided by operations, or cash flow in excess of cost of capital; (xvii) performance warranty and/or guarantee claims; (xviii) stock price or total stockholder return; (xix) earnings or book value per share (basic or diluted); (xx) economic value created; (xxi) pre-tax profit or after-tax profit; (xxii) strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified market penetration or market share, geographic business expansion, objective customer satisfaction or information technology goals; (xxiii) objective goals relating to divestitures, joint ventures, mergers, acquisitions and similar transactions; (xxiv) construction projects consisting of one or more objectives based upon meeting project completion timing milestones, project budget, site acquisition, site development, or site equipment functionality; (xxv) objective goals relating to staff management, results from staff attitude and/or opinion surveys, staff satisfaction scores, staff safety, staff accident and/or injury rates, headcount, performance management, completion of critical staff training initiatives; (xxvi) objective goals relating to projects, including project completion timing milestones, project budget; (xxvii) key regulatory objectives; and (xxviii) enterprise resource planning.

 C-18 

 

(ii)          Committee Discretion on Performance Measures.  As determined in the discretion of the Committee, the Performance Measures for any Performance Period may (a) differ from Participant to Participant and from Award to Award, (b) be based on the performance of the Corporation as a whole or the performance of a specific Participant or one or more Subsidiaries, divisions, departments, regions, stores, segments, products, functions or business units of the Corporation, (c) be measured on a per share, per capita, per unit, per square foot, per employee, per branch basis, and/or other objective basis (d) be measured on a pre-tax or after-tax basis, and (e) be measured on an absolute basis or in relative terms (including, but not limited to, the passage of time and/or against other companies, financial metrics and/or an index).  Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee shall adjust any performance criteria, Performance Measures or other feature of an Award that relates to or is wholly or partially based on the number of, or the value of, any stock of the Corporation, to reflect any stock dividend or split, repurchase, recapitalization, combination, or exchange of shares or other similar changes in such stock.

(e)          Earning of Performance Units/Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares shall be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Unit/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding Performance Goals have been achieved. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, after the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, and subject to restrictions under Applicable Laws such as Code Section 409A, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive the achievement of any performance goals for such Performance Unit/Share.

(f)           Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares shall be made in a single lump sum, within 90 calendar days following the close of the applicable Performance Period. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate fair market value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in combination thereof. Prior to the beginning of each Performance Period, Participants may, if so permitted by the Corporation, elect to defer the receipt of any Performance Unit/Share payout upon such terms as the Committee shall determine.

(g)          Cancellation of Performance Units/Shares. Subject to the applicable Award Agreement, upon the earlier of (a) the Participant's termination of employment, or (b) the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all remaining Performance Units/Shares shall be forfeited by the Participant to the Corporation, the Shares subject thereto shall again be available for grant under the Plan.

(h)          Non-transferability. Performance Units/Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further a Participant's rights under the Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant or the Participant's legal representative.

 C-19 

 

SECTION 11. Tax Withholding.

(a)          Tax Withholding for Options. The Corporation shall be entitled, if the Committee deems it necessary or desirable, to withhold (or secure payment in cash in United States dollars from an Optionee or beneficiary in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax required by law to be withheld or paid by the Corporation with respect to any amount payable and/or shares of Common Stock issuable under such Optionee's Option, and the Corporation may defer payment or issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon such Optionee's exercise of an Option unless indemnified to its satisfaction against any liability for such tax. The amount of any such withholding shall be determined by the Corporation.

(b)          Tax Withholding for Restricted Stock and Other Awards. When a Participant incurs tax liability in connection with the vesting, lapse of a restriction or distribution of Restricted Stock or other Award, and the Participant is obligated to pay an amount required to be withheld under applicable tax laws, the Committee shall establish procedures to satisfy the withholding tax obligation. The Participant also has the option to make payment in cash in United States dollars pursuant to procedures established by the Corporation. The amount of any such withholding shall be determined by the Corporation.

SECTION 12. Adjustment of Shares and Representations.

(a)          General. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable pursuant to the Plan, (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the Exercise Price per share in effect for each outstanding Option in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits, (iii) the number of shares of Restricted Stock granted; or (iv) the number of Performance Shares awarded, if applicable. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Corporation may require the person exercising such Option to make such representations and warranties at the time of any such exercise as the Corporation may at that time determine, including without limitation, representations and warranties that (i) the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares in violation of applicable federal or state securities laws, and (ii) such person is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and is capable of evaluating the merits and the risks associated with purchasing the Shares.

The inability of the Corporation to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Corporation's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares under this Plan, shall relieve the Corporation of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 C-20 

 

(b)          Mergers and Consolidations. In the event that the Corporation is a party to a Change of Control, outstanding Awards that are not yet vested shall be subject to the agreement of merger or consolidation or asset sale. Such agreement, without the Participant’s consent, may provide for:

(i)            The continuation of such outstanding Awards by the Corporation (if the Corporation is the surviving Corporation);

(ii)          The assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Awards by the surviving Corporation;

(iii)         The substitution by the surviving Corporation of options with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Awards;

(iv)         Such other action as the Board of Directors determines.

Each Option that is assumed or otherwise continued in effect in connection with a Change of Control shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change of Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in connection with the consummation of such Change of Control, had the Option been exercised immediately prior to such Change of Control.

(c)          Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 12, a Participant shall have no Shareholder rights by reason of (i) any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, or (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issuance by the Corporation of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 C-21 

 

SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.

(a)          Regulatory Approvals. The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any Options, Restricted Stock or Performance Unit/Performance Share Awards under the Plan, and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any Option, lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock, or payout of Performance Share Award shall be subject to the Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities, if any, including applicable securities laws having jurisdiction over the Plan, the Options or Restricted Stock granted, and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to it.

(b)          Strict Construction. No rule of strict construction shall be implied against the Committee, the Corporation or Subsidiary or any other person in the interpretation of any of the terms of the Plan, any Award granted under the Plan or any rule or procedure established by the Committee.

(c)          Choice of Law. All determinations made and actions taken pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware and construed in accordance therewith.

(d)          Compliance With Code Section 409A. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A.  The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A (or an exemption therefrom) and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.  To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A, the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A (or an exemption therefrom), such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A.  In no event will the Corporation be responsible for or reimburse a Participant for any taxes or other penalties incurred as a result of applicable of Code Section 409A.

(e)          Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Committee makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Committee.  Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

(f)           Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(i)            Legal Compliance.  Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Corporation with respect to such compliance.

 C-22 

 

(ii)          Investment Representations.  As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Corporation may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, such a representation is required.

(g)          Stockholder Approval.  The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Corporation within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.  Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

SECTION 14. No Employment or Service Retention Rights.

Nothing in the Plan or in any Award granted under the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Subsidiary employing or retaining the Participant) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

SECTION 15. Duration and Amendments.

(a)          Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective on the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors, subject to the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders. In the event that the stockholders fail to approve the Plan within 12 months after its adoption by the Board of Directors, any grants of Awards that have already occurred for which shareholder approval is a prerequisite for the granting of such Awards, shall be rescinded, and no such additional grants or awards shall be made thereafter under the Plan. The Plan shall terminate automatically ten (10) years after its adoption only with respect to the Corporation’s ability to grant ISOs under the Plan and may be terminated at any date by the Board of Directors pursuant to paragraph (b) below.

(b)          Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. The Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason; provided, however, that certain amendments, including amendments that increase the number of Shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan (except as provided in Section 12) or change the class of persons who are eligible for the grant of ISOs, shall be subject to the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders. The Corporation will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

(c)          Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Committee, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Corporation. No Shares of Common Stock shall be issued or sold under the Plan after the termination thereof, except upon exercise of an Option granted prior to such termination. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not affect any shares of Restricted Stock or Performance Shares previously issued or any Option previously granted under the Plan.

SECTION 16. Execution.

To record the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors, the Corporation has caused its authorized officer to execute the same.

(d)     Without exception, no person shall be eligible for election or re-election as a director of the corporation at an annual meeting of stockholders unless nominated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.4(ii). In addition, a nominee shall not be eligible for election or re-election if a stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee or if the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairperson of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the annual meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions prescribed by these bylaws, and if the chairperson should so determine, he or she shall so declare at the annual meeting, and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

A person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director at a special meeting unless the person is nominated (i) by or at the direction of the board of directors or (ii) by a stockholder in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(iii). In addition, a nominee shall not be eligible for election or re-election if a stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee or if the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the then-issued and outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange.

 

If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting, or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. The chairperson of the meeting shall have the authority to adjourn a meeting of the stockholders in all other events. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

2.7     ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE

 

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If, after the adjournment, a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the board of directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 213(a) of the DGCL and Section 2.11 of these bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

2.9     VOTING

Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.

 

Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power of shares of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or series or classes or series, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange.

 

2.10     STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING

 

Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. 

 

2.11     RECORD DATES

 

In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the board of directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the board of directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.

 

If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

 

 D-6 

 

 

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 213 of the DGCL and this Section 2.11 at the adjourned meeting.

 

In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

2.12     PROXIES

 

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A written proxy may be in the form of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

 

2.13     LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE

 

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date. The stockholder list shall be arranged in alphabetical order and show the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the corporation’s then-principal place of business. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place (as opposed to solely by means of remote communication), then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

 

2.14     INSPECTORS OF ELECTION

 

Before any meeting of stockholders, the board of directors shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy.

 

 D-7 

 

 

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed and designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspector or inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots, (vi) determine the result; and (vii) do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.

 

In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspector or inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. If there are three (3) inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

ARTICLE III — DIRECTORS

 

3.1     POWERS

 

The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise provided in the DGCL or the certificate of incorporation.

 

3.2     NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

 

The board of directors shall consist of one or more members, each of whom shall be a natural person.

Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these bylaws, each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

The certificate of incorporation or these bylaws may prescribe other qualifications for directors. If so provided in the certificate of incorporation, the directors of the corporation shall be divided into classes.

 

3.4     RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES

 

Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the corporation; provided, however, that if such notice is given by electronic transmission, such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the director. A resignation is effective when the resignation is delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. Acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. A resignation which is conditioned upon the director failing to receive a specified vote for reelection as a director may provide that it is irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, when one or more directors resign from the board of directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective.

 

Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then-in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. If the directors are divided into classes, a person so elected by the directors then in office to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

ARTICLE VI — STOCK

 

6.1     STOCK CERTIFICATES

 

The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the board of directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares.

Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The corporation shall not have power to issue a certificate in bearer form.

 

6.2     SPECIAL DESIGNATION ON CERTIFICATES

 

If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to this section 6.2 or Sections 151, 156, 202(a) or 218(a) of the DGCL or with respect to this section 6.2 a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

ARTICLE VII — MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE AND WAIVER

 

7.1     NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

 

Notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the corporation’s records. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

7.2 NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION

 

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:

 

(i)by electronic mail, when directed the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent; and
(ii)such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.

 

 D-15 

 

 

However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

 

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

 

(i)if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;
(ii)if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;
(iii)if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and
(iv)if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

 

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

An “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

 

7.3     NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

 

Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under the provisions of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the corporation, within 60 days of having been given written notice by the corporation of its intention to send the single notice, shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.

 

7.4     NOTICE TO PERSON WITH WHOM COMMUNICATION IS UNLAWFUL

 

Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

 

7.5     WAIVER OF NOTICE

 

Whenever notice is required to be given to stockholders, directors or other persons under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders or the board of directors, as the case may be, need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

 

8.2     INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION

Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems reasonably appropriate and shall be subject to the corporation’s expense guidelines.
