Dr. Ishwar K. Puri and Beth R. Levinson

South Pasadena, CA 91030

 

Dear Mr. Puri and Ms. Levinson,

 

Following our recent discussions, NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. (“NeOnc”) and Dr. Ishwar K. Puri and Beth R. Levinson (together, the “Holders”) hereby agree to this binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) setting forth the principal terms and conditions upon which NeOnc will acquire all of the equity interest of a to-be- formed Delaware limited liability company that will be formed shortly hereafter (the “Company”) from the Holders in a share exchange transaction (the “Proposed Transaction”).

 

We believe there exists a strong strategic fit between our respective companies. Consequently, we are enthusiastic about consummating this transaction as efficient and expeditiously as possible.

 

1. Transaction Terms – the term sheet attached as Exhibit A together with this LOI reflect the terms upon which we agree to pursue and complete the Proposed Transaction.

 

2. Documentation – the Proposed Transaction is also subject to execution of definitive documentation including a Share Exchange Agreement and other documentation that will be prepared by our legal counsel, subject to review and comment by your legal counsel.

 

3. Ordinary Course of Conduct – until the execution of the definitive documentation the Holders will cause the Company to: (i) conduct its business only in the normal and ordinary course; and (ii) use reasonable efforts to preserve the business organization and existing business relationships intact.

 

4. Exclusivity – from the date this LOI is executed throughout the next 30 days, the Holders shall not and shall cause the Company and its officers, directors, employees, and other agents not to, directly or indirectly: (i) take any action to solicit or initiate any “Acquisition Proposal” (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) continue to engage in discussions or negotiations with any potential acquiror or investor, or (iii) disclose any non-public information, other than in the ordinary course of business, relating to the Company, to any other person or entity except NeOnc and its representatives. You agree that any discussions with other potential acquirors will be formally terminated upon execution of this LOI.

 

The term “Acquisition Proposal” as used herein means any offer, proposal or indication of interest, whether written or oral, in (x) the acquisition of any assets of the Company, (y) a merger, consolidation or other business combination, or (z) the acquisition of any of the equity security of the Company.

 

 

 

 

To the extent anyone at the Company, directly or indirectly, receives any Acquisition Proposal, the Holders will promptly notify NeOnc, including the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal and all economic terms of such Acquisition Proposal.

 

If, at the end of the 30-day No Shop period, the parties are working constructively to consummate the Proposed Transaction, then the 30-day No Shop period will extend automatically for an additional 30 days.

 

5. Term and Expenses – this LOI will expire by 5:00 p.m. PST on July [●], 2025 if not executed and accepted.

 

In the event this LOI terminates for any reason, each party hereto shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the Proposed Transaction.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Holders breach the provisions of the paragraph titled “No Shop” or decline to consummate the Proposed Transaction on substantially similar terms to the terms outlined in this LOI, the Holders will reimburse NeOnc for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including fees to its advisors) actually incurred from the date of this LOI through the date that the Holders’ breach of the exclusivity provisions described above become known to NeOnc or the date on which the Holders notify NeOnc of their intent to not consummate the Proposed Transaction.

 

6. Confidentiality – except as required by law, without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, no party (whether directly or indirectly through one or more of its officers, directors, employees, or agents) will make any public comment, statement or communication with respect to, or otherwise disclose or permit disclosure of the existence of discussions regarding, a possible transaction between the parties or any of the terms, conditions, or other aspects of the transaction proposed by this LOI.

 

7. No Tax Advice – the Holders acknowledge and agree that each have been advised to consult with their own advisors and representatives, have reviewed this LOI and the transactions contemplated hereby with their respective tax advisors and/or attorneys, and are relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations by NeOnc, other than as may be expressly set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement.

 

8. Binding Effect; Governing Law; Counterparts – this LOI is intended to be a binding contract. This LOI shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by means of facsimile, portable document format (PDF) or other electronic format), each of which shall be deemed to be original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

The consideration for such acquisition will be $500,000 in cash. NeOnc will issue the Company a promissory note in the amount of $500,000 (the “Note”) to fund the purchase of the Patent.
