REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This Repurchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of September 19, 2023, by and between BioXcel LLC, a Delaware limited liability company resulting from the conversion of BioXcel Corporation with its principal office at 2614 Boston Post Road, Suite 33B, Guilford, CT 06437 (the “Company”), Vipin Agarwal, an individual residing at 80 West Meadow Road, Hamden, CT 06518 (“Vipin”), and RASHMI Agarwal, an individual residing at 80 West Meadow Road, Hamden, CT 06518 (“Rashmi” and, collectively with Vipin, “Sellers”), and InveniAI LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“InveniAI”) (only as to Sections 2(a)(iii), 2(b)(i), 3(c) and 5).

 

Recitals

 

A.           Sellers jointly own (i) a 0.71% Class B Common Interest Percentage in the Company (the “Common Interest”), and (ii) warrants to purchase the Class B Common Interest Percentage in the Company into which 120 shares of Common Stock of the Company’s predecessor BioXcel Corporation were converted (the “BioXcel Warrants”).

 

B.            Immediately following the effectiveness hereof, BioXcel Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the majority owner of the Company (“Holdings”), InveniAI, Sellers and certain other stockholders of Holdings will enter into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Sellers’ outstanding shares of common stock of Holdings will be redeemed for shares of common stock of BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BTAI”), and warrants to purchase Class B Non-Voting Membership Interests of InveniAI.

 

C.            As a condition to the Sellers’ willingness to execute and deliver the Termination Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, Sellers desire to sell to the Company all of the Common Interest and amend the terms of the BioXcel Warrants, and the Company desires to so repurchase the Common Interest from Sellers and amend the BioXcel Warrants as an inducement to Sellers to enter into and perform their obligations under the Termination Agreement.

 

Terms of Agreement

 

Accordingly, the Company and Sellers, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1.            Repurchase. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, effective immediately prior to the termination, pursuant to the Termination Agreement, of the Stockholders Agreement of Holdings dated as of April 3, 2023 (the “Effective Time”), the Company hereby purchases and accepts from Sellers, and Sellers hereby sell, transfer, convey and deliver to the Company, the Common Interest, free and clear of all liens.

 

 

 

 

2.            Consideration.

 

(a)            In consideration of the transactions contemplated hereby and in consideration of Sellers’ entry into and performance of their obligations under the Termination Agreement:

(ii)           as soon as commercially reasonable following the transfer of the BTAI Shares pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) hereof, the Company shall deliver to Sellers an amended and restated BioXcel Warrant dated effective as of such time and otherwise in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto;

 

(iii)          as soon as commercially reasonable following the Effective Time and the receipt by InveniAI of a 409A (or similar) valuation report (and in no event more than six months after the Effective Date), InveniAI shall issue to Sellers (and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause InveniAI to issue to Sellers) warrants to purchase Class B Non-Voting Membership Interests of InveniAI equal to 0.54% of InveniAI at the Effective Time (whether calculated in units or percentages), having a term of 10 years and an exercise price equal to the fair market value of such Class B Non-Voting Membership Interests on or about the date of issuance of such warrants (the “InveniAI Warrants”); InveniAI and Vipin Agarwal will cooperate to establish mutually agreeable provisions of such warrants that are commercially reasonable, including but not limited to with respect to notice, forfeiture, and exercise timing and mechanics; and

 

(iv)          in the event the Company makes tax distributions in respect of tax liabilities incurred by its members (as reflected in allocable income on such members’ Schedules K-1) during its tax year 2022, tax year 2023 or tax year 2024, the Sellers shall participate with respect to the applicable portion of such tax year and as reflected on their Schedule K-1 from such tax year on corresponding terms, it being understood that the Company expects to make such tax distributions with respect to its tax year 2022 no later than September 30, 2023.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, during the one year period following the Effective Time:

 

(i)            If the Company agrees to repurchase any securities issued by the Company (“Subject Securities”) from any holder of securities of the Company other than Holdings or a holder of securities issued in connection with an equity incentive plan (each, a “Minority Holder”) for consideration that exceeds, on a per unit or per percentage basis, the number of BTAI Shares to be issued to Sellers under this Section 2 for the Common Interest, and/or if in connection with any such repurchase of Subject Securities InveniAI agrees to issue to a Minority Holder a number of InveniAI Warrants that exceeds, on a per unit or per percentage basis, the number of InveniAI Warrants to be issued to Sellers hereunder for the Common Interest, then the Company and/or InveniAI shall, contemporaneously with its offer to purchase the Subject Securities from such Minority Holder, issue to Sellers a number of additional BTAI Shares and/or InveniAI Warrants, as applicable, such that the consideration payable hereunder for the Common Interest equals the consideration offered to the Minority Holder for the Subject Securities on a per unit or per percentage basis; and

 

- 2 -

 

 

(ii)           If the Company offers to repurchase Subject Securities from a Minority Holder for consideration that consists of or includes cash or assets other than BTAI Shares and/or InveniAI Warrants, then the Company shall, contemporaneously with its offer to purchase the Subject Securities from such Minority Holder, grant Sellers the option (which option shall be exercisable by Sellers for a period of no less than ten business days) to exchange the BTAI Shares and InveniAI Warrants issued to Sellers as consideration under this Section 2 for consideration that equals the cash or other assets offered as consideration to such Minority Holder for the Subject Securities, determined on a per unit or per percentage basis.

BioXcel LLC

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMON INTEREST WARRANT

 

This warrant (“Warrant”) certifies that for value received Vipin Agarwal and Rashmi Agarwal (“Holder”) are entitled, jointly and not severally, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to subscribe for and purchase from BioXcel LLC, a Delaware limited liability company resulting from the conversion of BioXcel Corporation with its principal office at 2614 Boston Post Road, Suite 33B, Guilford, CT 06437 06405 (“Grantor” or “Company”), 120 common interests in Grantor (“Common Interests”), on or before the Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined), at an exercise price per Common Interest equal to $1,709.88 (the “Exercise Price”). Grantor represents and warrants that, upon the conversion of BioXcel Corporation into Grantor, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of BioXcel Corporation was converted into one common interest in Grantor.

 

- 10 -

 

 

1.Exercise of Warrant.

 

To exercise this Warrant, Holder shall notify Grantor by delivering the Warrant Exercise Form attached hereto as Exhibit A to Grantor’s principal office by hand or by sending such Warrant Exercise Form to Grantor’s principal office by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by an overnight delivery service (such as Express Mail, Federal Express, UPS or equivalent service). The Warrant Exercise Form shall be accompanied by (i) this Warrant, and (ii) payment in cash or by check acceptable to Grantor of the Exercise Price for each Common Interest for which this Warrant is being exercised. This Warrant shall be exercisable in whole or in part, and from time to time, prior to August 31, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”).

 

As soon as commercially reasonable and in compliance with applicable securities laws, following Holder’s exercise of this Warrant Grantor shall redeem from Holder all of the Common Interests purchased by Holder hereunder (the “Warrant Interests”) in exchange for shares of common stock of BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, held by Grantor (“BTAI Shares”), with each Warrant Interest exchangeable for 149.22 BTAI Shares (the “BTAI Share Conversion”).

 

If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company has sold a number of BTAI Shares such that the Company no longer holds at least three times as many BTAI Shares as necessary to provide for the full BTAI Share Conversion (a “Selldown Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, at the Company’s sole discretion, the Company shall have the option of delivering, in lieu of the number of BTAI Shares that would have been delivered pursuant to such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Selldown Transaction (the “Alternative Consideration Shares”), the consideration that the Company received as a result of such Selldown Transaction in exchange for such number of Alternative Consideration Shares.

 

2.Cashless Exercise.

 

Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of Grantor together with the properly endorsed Warrant Exercise Form and notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Common Interests computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y(A-B)

   A

 

Where:

 

X =the number of Common Interests to be issued to Holder
Y =the number of Common Interests purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)

A =the fair market value of one Common Interest (at the date of such calculation)

B =Exercise Price

 

- 11 -

 

 

For purposes of the above calculation, fair market value of one Common Interest shall be determined in good faith by Grantor’s Board of Managers; provided, that where there exists a public market for the Common Interests at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per share shall be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Interests quoted in the Over The Counter Market Summary or the last reported sale price of the Common Interests or the closing price quoted on any exchange on which the Common Interests are listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, for the five (5) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value.

 

3.Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant.

 

Upon receipt by Grantor of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, Grantor, at Holder’s cost, shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.

 

4.Certain Agreements of Grantor.

 

Grantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(a)            Interests to be Fully Paid. All Warrant Interests shall, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

 

(b)            Reservation of Shares. Upon the date of any exercise of this Warrant by Holder, Grantor shall ensure that, within ten (10) business days from such date, the number of Warrant Interests to be issued pursuant to such exercise are available for issuance.

 

(c)            Certain Actions Prohibited. Grantor shall not, by amendment of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by Holder in order to protect the exercise privilege of Holder against impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantor (i) shall not increase the par value of any Common Interests receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that Grantor may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Common Interests upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) shall not close its membership books or records in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

 

5.Assignability of this Warrant.

 

Without the express written consent of Grantor, in its absolute discretion, Holder may not give, grant, sell, exchange, transfer legal title to, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber or dispose of this Warrant or, until such time as the Common Interests are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Warrant Interests, or any interest herein or therein, and this Warrant herein granted shall be exercisable only by Holder. Grantor may deem and treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than Grantor) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary until presentation of this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in this Section 5.

 

- 12 -

 

 

6.Adjustments in Common Interests.
