MINIMUM INVESTMENT: $1,000
We are offering a minimum of 435,073 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and a maximum of 5,800,969 shares of Series B Preferred on a “best efforts” basis.
Until _____, 2019, 10 days after the date this offering commences (the “ROFR Cutoff Date”), investors who either purchased shares of the company’s Series A Preferred Stock in the 2018 Regulation A Offering (as defined herein) or who received shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon conversion of a convertible note, will have a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) to purchase up to 2,842,525 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “ROFR Maximum”) in this offering, which represents for each such investor their pro rata share of Series B Preferred Stock that will maintain their ownership interest in the company, assuming that the maximum of 5,800,969 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are sold in this offering. Investors exercising their ROFR may elect to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to the ROFR Maximum, plus additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, that may be available in this offering, on a first-come first-served basis. In the event that the offering is fully subscribed before the ROFR Cutoff Date, the company will allocate up to the first 2,842,525 shares of Series B Preferred Stock available in this offering to those investors who exercise their ROFR then allocate the remaining shares on a first-come, first-served basis to new investors. If holders of Series A Preferred Stock do not exercise their rights for all of the shares subject to the ROFR, the company has 180 days from the ROFR Cutoff Date, or _____, 2020, to sell the shares that were not taken up by those investors and meet the minimum offering amount for this offering. If the company fails to meet the minimum offering amount within that 180-day period, it must again offer the investors a right to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
As an issuer with less than $1 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant if and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:
| ● | will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
| ● | will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”); |
| 2 |
| ● | will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes); |
| ● | will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure; |
| ● | may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and |
| ● | will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards. |
We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.
Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the Commission’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

Overview
NowRx is an on-demand pharmacy, leveraging the latest in software technology, artificial intelligence, robotics and logistics to provide the most convenient pharmacy experience available, with free same-day delivery of prescription medications, thereby avoiding the need to ever visit the pharmacy. Expedited one-hour delivery is also offered for a $5.00 charge. All pharmacy services are provided from a low cost, highly automated “virtual pharmacy” location, utilizing end-to-end robotic dispensing (“One-Click Fill”) and artificially intelligent chat bots, coupled with NowRx drivers and plug-in electric vehicles, to provide a more efficient and effective pharmacy experience for busy customers. Customers can easily and conveniently access NowRx services through the NowRx mobile app, text, telephone or through virtual voice-activated assistants such as Google Home.
NowRx’s business automatically generates a substantial database recording a wealth of medical prescription data affording the company the opportunity to develop, using machine-learning techniques, powerful tools to initiate pharmacy interventions for patients more likely to miss a dose or refill (NowRx Medication Adherence IndexSM), thereby providing better medication adherence and improved health outcomes.
NowRx is part of the rapidly growing on-demand economy, which is increasingly attracting consumers who are drawn by the user experience, added convenience and other benefits it provides. Recent studies show on-demand services have already moved beyond early adopters and are gaining traction among mainstream consumers who require that platforms be user-friendly and safe.1
Our Products and Services
NowRx is a fully licensed retail pharmacy that provides free same-day delivery of prescription drugs and some over-the-counter medications. For an additional $5.00, the company provides delivery within 1 hour of placing an order for in-stock pharmaceuticals. We offer our services through the NowRx app, by text, by telephone and through virtual assistants such as Google Home. Physicians are able to send prescriptions to NowRx through electronic prescribing, fax, the NowRx app or telephone. Current services provided include fulfilling new prescriptions or refills, transferring prescriptions from other pharmacies, pharmacist consultation via phone, and application of drug manufacturer coupons.
The Opportunity
NowRx is responding to the rapidly increasing consumer demand for services delivered same-day and managed by convenience of mobile apps, chat bots and voice-activated assistants. The on-demand economy has already attracted more than 22.4 million consumers annually and $57.6 billion in spending.2 Retail pharmacy is a $260 billion industry.3 We believe it’s only a matter of time before the bulk of the pharmacy industry will fulfill customer needs through same-day delivery and customers standing in line at a pharmacy counter will be a thing of the past. By offering a much more convenient, efficient, and zero cost service, NowRx eliminates the need for its customers to ever visit crowded pharmacies, enabling them to stay at home with their families or remain in their office or at their place of business. Furthermore, NowRx increases the likelihood of timely prescription fills, encourages medication adherence, reduces the number of missed refills, ultimately reducing costs to health plan insurers and providing better consumer health. For employers, NowRx can improve worker productivity by eliminating time employees spend off-campus having prescriptions filled and reduce overall health plan costs through better medication compliance.

Strategy
NowRx believes that its service can take advantage of this trend toward enhanced convenience with a four-pronged strategy embracing:
| 1. | Technology strategy. The focus of NowRx’s technology strategy, in addition to a unified communication platform, is to build a powerful back office technology infrastructure incorporating end-to-end robotic dispensing and delivery logistics. One priority for NowRx is to develop an in-house pharmacy management system incorporating an e-prescribing module and an insurance processing module, which would then be plugged directly into the company’s existing dispensing system. This would allow complete end-to-end automation from the moment a drug is ordered to the moment it is fulfilled by the robot dispensing system (other than the confirmation by the pharmacist). |
| 2. | Product strategy. NowRx will continue to evolve its product offering, focusing on two areas: rendering the customer experience as easy and convenient as possible, and secondly leveraging the company database to improve medication adherence. The company currently enables prescriptions to be ordered via the NowRx app, text, fax, email or telephone as well as through technology assistant tools such as Google Home. Each of these tools will continue to be upgraded to assure the most convenient, simplest, and fastest possible means of completing an order. For example, customers are increasingly interested in using standard text commands, which currently requires a NowRx employee to interpret. NowRx intends to further develop its text based “chat bot” using artificial intelligence that will interpret customer’s requests, thereby fully automating the process. |
| 3. | Geographical coverage strategy. NowRx expects in the next 18 months to cover the majority of the San Francisco Bay Area metropolitan area (the “Bay Area”), in addition to opening locations in the Los Angeles basin. Additional locations are possible in this timeframe in neighboring cities such as San Diego or in another state such as Washington or Arizona. In the long-term the company seeks to cover at least the top twenty metropolitan areas in the United States, contingent on the unique competitive environment in each area. Geographical coverage is driven by a clustering approach, opening successive locations contiguous to an existing location (typically about 10-15 miles distant), thereby providing seamless service in a given region. We believe that clustering, by virtue of higher customer density, provides the most cost efficient vehicle both operationally (lowest possible prescription fulfillment and delivery cost) and from a marketing perspective (lowest possible customer acquisition cost). |
| 4. | Marketing strategy. In the short-term, NowRx will continue to focus its marketing strategy on resource efficient channels such as physicians and healthcare facilities. Physician referrals carry considerable weight with patients who see little downside in trying the service. We believe the clustering approach will result in an increasingly lower customer acquisition cost as the company adds more contiguous locations. Word of mouth both from physicians and consumers themselves grows geometrically as the company expands its base. Consumer marketing via social media and other traditional media channels will be highly selective in the short term but grow as the company scales up in a given region in which it has achieved a critical mass of customers. |

| Right of First Refusal to Series A Preferred Stock Investors | On March 30, 2018, the company commenced an offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act (the “2018 Regulation A Offering”), pursuant to which it sold 3,499,878 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the subscription agreement executed by investors in that offering, the company granted investors a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) to participate in the company’s next equity offering.

Selected Risks Associated with Our Business
Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
| · | We could be adversely affected by a decrease in the introduction of new brand name and generic prescription drugs as well as increases in the cost to procure prescription drugs. | |
| · | We derive a significant portion of our sales from prescription drug sales reimbursed by a limited number of pharmacy benefit management companies. | |
| · | Reductions in third party reimbursement levels, from private or government agency plans, and potential changes in industry pricing benchmarks for prescription drugs could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. | |
| · | A shift in pharmacy mix toward lower margin plans and programs could adversely affect our results of operations. | |
| · | We operate in a highly competitive industry that is dominated by several very large, well-capitalized market leaders and constantly evolving. New entrants to the market, existing competitor actions, or other changes in market dynamics could adversely impact us. | |
| · | Consolidation in the healthcare industry could adversely affect us. | |
| · | We purchase a substantial portion of our brand name and generic drugs from a single wholesaler. A disruption in this relationship may have a negative effect on us. | |
| · | If we do not maintain the privacy and security of sensitive customer and business information, it could damage our reputation and we could suffer a loss of revenue, incur substantial additional costs and become subject to litigation and regulatory scrutiny. | |
| · | Because we store, process and use data that contains personal information, we are subject to complex and evolving laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in investigations, claims, changes to our business practices, increased cost of operations, and declines in customer retention, any of which could harm our business. | |
| · | We are subject to payment-related risks that could increase our operating costs, expose us to fraud or theft, subject us to potential liability and potentially disrupt our business operations. | |
| · | A significant change in, or noncompliance with, government regulations and other legal requirements could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and profitability. | |
| · | We could be adversely affected by product liability, product recall, personal injury or other health and safety issues. | |
| · | We only operate from one location. If we do not establish additional locations, we may not be able to successfully implement growth. | |
| · | We could be adversely affected by a failure to correctly deliver prescriptions. | |
| · | Our failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business. | |
| · | The company has a history of losses, and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. | |
| · | We expect to raise additional capital through equity and/or debt offerings to support our working capital requirements and operating losses. | |
| · | The auditor included a “going concern” note in its audit report. | |
| · | Some investors have more rights than others. | |
| · | If you fail to vote your shares, the company’s President may vote them instead. | |
| · | The subscription agreement has a forum selection provision that requires disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the State of Delaware, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor. | |
| · | Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under the agreement. | |
| · | Investors in this offering must vote their shares to approve of certain future events, including our sale. | |
| · | Your ability to transfer your securities may be limited. | |
| · | This investment is illiquid. |

The Commission requires the company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as hacking and the ability to prevent hacking). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently more risky than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.
We could be adversely affected by a decrease in the introduction of new brand name and generic prescription drugs as well as increases in the cost to procure prescription drugs. The profitability of our business depends upon the utilization of prescription drugs. Utilization trends are affected by, among other factors, the introduction of new and successful prescription drugs as well as lower-priced generic alternatives to existing brand name drugs. Inflation in the price of drugs also can adversely affect utilization, particularly given the increased prevalence of high-deductible health insurance plans and related plan design changes. New brand name drugs can result in increased drug utilization and associated sales, while the introduction of lower priced generic alternatives typically results in relatively lower sales, but relatively higher gross profit margins. Accordingly, a decrease in the number or magnitude of significant new brand name drugs or generics successfully introduced, delays in their introduction, or a decrease in the utilization of previously introduced prescription drugs could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
In addition, if we experience an increase in the amounts we pay to procure pharmaceutical drugs, including generic drugs, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Our gross profit margins would be adversely affected to the extent we are not able to offset such cost increases. Any failure to fully offset any such increased prices and costs or to modify our activities to mitigate the impact could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Additionally, any future changes in drug prices could significantly differ from our expectations.
We derive a significant portion of our sales from prescription drug sales reimbursed by a limited number of pharmacy benefit management companies and other third party payors. We derive a significant portion of our sales from prescription drug sales reimbursed through prescription drug plans administered by a limited number of pharmacy benefit management (“PBM”) companies. PBM companies typically administer multiple prescription drug plans that expire at various times and provide for varying reimbursement rates, and often limit coverage to specific drug products on an approved list, known as a formulary, which might not include all of the approved drugs for a particular indication. We cannot assure you that we will continue to participate in any particular PBM company’s pharmacy provider network in any particular future time period. If our participation in the pharmacy provider network for a prescription drug plan administered by one or more of the large PBM companies is restricted or terminated, we expect that our sales would be adversely affected, at least in the short-term. If we are unable to replace any such lost sales, either through an increase in other sales or through a resumption of participation in those plans, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected. If we exit a pharmacy provider network and later resume participation, we cannot assure you that we will achieve any particular level of business on any particular pace, or that all clients of the PBM company will choose to include us again in the pharmacy network for their plans, initially or at all. In addition, in such circumstances we may incur increased marketing and other costs in connection with initiatives to regain former patients and attract new patients covered by such plans.
Reductions in third party reimbursement levels, from private or government agency plans, and potential changes in industry pricing benchmarks for prescription drugs could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. The substantial majority of the prescriptions we fill are reimbursed by third-party payors, including private and government agency payors. The continued efforts of health maintenance organizations, managed care organizations, PBM companies, government agencies, and other third-party payors to reduce prescription drug costs and pharmacy reimbursement rates, as well as litigation and other legal proceedings relating to how drugs are priced, may adversely impact our results of operations. Typically, health plan changes with rate adjustments often occur in January and our reimbursement arrangements may provide for rate adjustments at prescribed intervals during their term. In addition, in an environment where some PBM company clients utilize narrow or restricted pharmacy provider networks, some of these entities may offer pricing terms that we may not be willing to accept or otherwise restrict our participation in their networks of pharmacy providers.
| 9 |
Changes in political, economic and regulatory influences also may significantly affect healthcare financing and prescription drug reimbursement practices. For example, there have been multiple attempts through legislative action and legal challenges to repeal or amend the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”). We cannot predict whether current or future efforts to repeal or amend these laws will be successful, nor can we predict the impact that such a repeal or amendment and any subsequent legislation would have on our business and reimbursement levels. There have also been a number of other proposals and enactments by the federal government and various states to reduce Medicare Part D and Medicaid reimbursement levels in response to budget deficits, and we expect additional proposals in the future. We cannot assure you that recent or future changes in prescription drug reimbursement policies and practices will not materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Efforts to control healthcare costs, including prescription drug costs, are continuous and reductions in third party reimbursement levels could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
In addition, many payors are increasingly considering new metrics as the basis for reimbursement rates, such as average sales price, average manufacturer price, and actual acquisition cost. It is possible that the pharmaceutical industry or regulators may evaluate and/or develop an alternative pricing reference to replace average wholesale price, which is the pricing reference used for many of our contracts. Future changes to the pricing benchmarks used to establish pharmaceutical pricing, including changes in the basis for calculating reimbursement by third-party payors, could adversely affect us.
A shift in pharmacy mix toward lower margin plans and programs could adversely affect our results of operations. We seek to grow prescription volume while operating in a marketplace with continuous reimbursement pressure. A shift in the mix of pharmacy prescription volume towards 90-day, Medicare or other programs offering lower reimbursement rates could adversely affect our results of operations. We currently offer limited 90-day fulfillments. In addition, preferred Medicare Part D networks have increased in number in recent years; however, we do not participate in all such networks. In the future, we may accept lower reimbursement rates in order to secure preferred relationships with Medicare Part D plans serving senior patients with significant pharmacy needs. We intend to develop and expand our relationships with commercial third-party payors to enable new and/or improved market access via participation in the pharmacy provider networks they offer. If we are not able to generate additional prescription volume from patients participating in these programs that is sufficient to offset the impact of lower reimbursement, or if the degree or terms of our participation in such preferred networks declines from current levels in future years, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Declines in reimbursement rates that insurance companies pay for prescription medications may adversely impact our gross profit margin and ability to achieve profitability. Our primary source of revenue is based on reimbursements from customer’s health insurance plans, which are largely beyond our control. Reimbursement rates tend to vary over time and across products and health plans. Generally, we have experienced a broader trend of decreasing reimbursement rates impacting our gross profit margin. Although increased sales of OTC products and an increase in our purchasing power to lower our costs of goods sold may offset declining reimbursement rates to some extent, further declines in reimbursement rates may continue to adversely impact our gross profit margins and ability to achieve profitability.
We operate in a highly competitive industry that is dominated by several very large, well-capitalized market leaders and constantly evolving. New entrants to the market, existing competitor actions, or other changes in market dynamics could adversely impact us. The level of competition in the retail pharmacy and pharmaceutical wholesale industries is high, with several very large, well-capitalized competitors holding a majority share of the market. Changes in market dynamics or actions of competitors or manufacturers, including industry consolidation and the emergence of new competitors and strategic alliances, could materially and adversely impact our business. Disruptive innovation by existing or new competitors could alter the competitive landscape in the future and require us to accurately identify and assess such changes and make timely and effective changes to our strategies and business model to compete effectively. We face intense competition from local, regional, national and global companies, including drugstore and pharmacy chains, independent drugstores and pharmacies, mail-order pharmacies and various other online retailers, some of which are aggressively expanding in California and markets we may seek to enter. Competition may also come from other sources in the future. As competition increases, a significant increase in general pricing pressures could occur, which could require us to reevaluate our pricing structures to remain competitive. For example, if we are not able to anticipate and successfully respond to changes in market conditions, it could result in a loss of customers or renewal of contracts or arrangements on less favorable terms.

Consolidation in the healthcare industry could adversely affect us. Many organizations in the healthcare industry have consolidated in recent years to create larger healthcare enterprises with greater bargaining power, which has resulted in greater pricing pressures on pharmaceuticals. If this consolidation trend continues, it could give the resulting enterprises even greater bargaining power, which may lead to further pressure on the prices for our products and services. If these pressures result in reductions in our prices, our business would become less profitable unless we are able to achieve corresponding reductions in costs or develop profitable new revenue streams.
We expect that market demand, government regulation, third-party reimbursement policies, government contracting requirements, and societal pressures will continue to cause the healthcare industry to evolve, potentially resulting in further business consolidations and alliances and increased vertical integration among the industry participants we engage with, which may adversely impact our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.
We purchase a substantial portion of our brand name and generic drugs from a single wholesaler. A disruption in this relationship may have a negative effect on us. We purchase approximately 90% of our brand name and generic drugs from a single wholesaler, McKesson. The remaining 10% is sourced from Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (“IPC”) and several small suppliers. Because McKesson acts as a wholesaler for drugs purchased from ultimate manufacturers worldwide, any disruption in the supply of a given drug, including supply shortages of key ingredients, or regulatory actions by domestic or foreign government agencies, or specific actions taken by drug manufacturers, could adversely impact McKesson's ability to fulfill our demands, which could adversely affect us. While we believe that alternative sources of supply for most generic and brand name pharmaceuticals are readily available, a significant disruption in our relationship with McKesson or IPC could make it difficult for us to continue to operate our business on a regular basis until we execute a replacement wholesaler agreement or develop and implement self-distribution processes. We believe we could obtain and qualify alternative sources, including through self-distribution, for substantially all of the prescription drugs we sell on an acceptable basis, and accordingly that the impact of any disruption would be temporary.
If we do not maintain the privacy and security of sensitive customer and business information, it could damage our reputation and we could suffer a loss of revenue, incur substantial additional costs and become subject to litigation and regulatory scrutiny. Our operations are dependent on our information systems and the information collected, processed, stored, and handled by these systems. We rely heavily on our computer systems to manage our ordering, pricing, fulfillment, inventory replenishment, claims processing and other processes. Throughout our operations, we receive, retain and transmit certain confidential information, including personally identifiable information that our customers provide to purchase products or services, interact with our personnel, or otherwise communicate with us. In addition, for these operations, we depend in part on the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. Our information systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, facility damage, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches, including credit card or personally identifiable information breaches, coordinated cyber attacks, vandalism, catastrophic events and human error. Although we deploy a layered approach to address information security threats and vulnerabilities, including ones from a cyber security standpoint, designed to protect confidential information against data security breaches, a compromise of our information security controls or of those businesses with whom we interact, which results in confidential information being accessed, obtained, damaged, or used by unauthorized or improper persons, could harm our reputation and expose us to regulatory actions and claims from customers, financial institutions, payment card associations and other persons, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial position, and results of operations. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and may not immediately produce signs of intrusion, we may not be able to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, a security breach could require that we expend substantial additional resources related to the security of information systems and disrupt our businesses.
| 11 |
Because we store, process and use data that contains personal information, we are subject to complex and evolving laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in investigations, claims, changes to our business practices, increased cost of operations, and declines in customer retention, any of which could harm our business. The regulatory environment surrounding information security and privacy is increasingly demanding, with the frequent imposition of new and changing requirements across businesses. We are required to comply with increasingly complex and changing data privacy regulations. Complying with these and other changing requirements could cause us to incur substantial costs and require us to change our business practices in certain jurisdictions, any of which could materially adversely affect our business operations and operating results. We may also face audits or investigations by one or more government agencies relating to our compliance with these regulations. Compliance with changes in privacy and information security laws and standards may result in significant expense due to increased investment in technology and the development of new operational processes. If we or those with whom we share information fail to comply with these laws and regulations or experience a data security breach, our reputation could be damaged and we could be subject to additional litigation and regulatory risks. Our security measures may be undermined due to the actions of outside parties, employee error, malfeasance, or otherwise, and, as a result, an unauthorized party may obtain access to our data systems and misappropriate business and personal information. Any such breach or unauthorized access could result in significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation, and potentially have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to payment-related risks that could increase our operating costs, expose us to fraud or theft, subject us to potential liability and potentially disrupt our business operations. We accept payments using a variety of methods, including cash, checks, credit and debit cards, gift cards and mobile payment technologies such as Apple Pay™, and we may offer new payment options over time. Acceptance of these payment options subjects us to rules, regulations, contractual obligations and compliance requirements, including payment network rules and operating guidelines, data security standards and certification requirements, and rules governing electronic funds transfers. These requirements and related interpretations may change over time, which could make compliance more difficult or costly. For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we pay interchange and other fees, which could increase over time and raise our operating costs. We rely on third parties to provide payment-processing services, including the processing of credit cards, debit cards, and other forms of electronic payment. If these companies become unable to provide these services to us, or if their systems are compromised, it could disrupt our business. The payment methods that we offer also subject us to potential fraud and theft by persons who seek to obtain unauthorized access to or exploit any weaknesses that may exist in the payment systems. If we fail to comply with applicable rules or requirements, or if data is compromised due to a breach or misuse of data relating to our payment systems, we may be liable for costs incurred by payment card issuing banks and other third parties or subject to fines and higher transaction fees, or our ability to accept or facilitate certain types of payments could be impaired. In addition, our reputation could suffer and our customers could lose confidence in certain payment types, which could result in higher costs. As a result, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
A significant change in, or noncompliance with, government regulations and other legal requirements could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and profitability. We operate in a complex, highly regulated environment and our operations could be adversely affected by changes to existing legal requirements including the related interpretations and enforcement practices, new legal requirements and/or any failure to comply with applicable regulations. Our business is subject to numerous federal, state and local regulations including licensing and other requirements for pharmacies and reimbursement arrangements. The regulations to which we are subject include, but are not limited to: federal and state registration and regulation of pharmacies and drug discount card programs; dispensing and sale of controlled substances and products containing pseudoephedrine; applicable governmental payor regulations including Medicare and Medicaid; data privacy and security laws and regulations including those under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”); the ACA or any successor to that act; laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and health and safety matters, including those governing exposure to, and the management and disposal of, hazardous substances; regulations regarding food and drug safety including those of the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), trade regulations including those of the Federal Trade Commission, and consumer protection and safety regulations including those of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, as well as state regulatory authorities, governing the availability, sale, advertisement and promotion of products we sell; anti-kickback laws; false claims laws; laws against the corporate practice of medicine; and federal and state laws governing health care fraud and abuse and the practice of the profession of pharmacy. For example, the DEA, FDA and various other regulatory authorities regulate the distribution and dispensing of pharmaceuticals and controlled substances. We are required to hold valid DEA and state-level licenses, meet various security and operating standards and comply with the federal and various state controlled substance acts and related regulations governing the sale, dispensing, disposal, holding and distribution of controlled substances. The DEA, FDA and state regulatory authorities have broad enforcement powers, including the ability to seize or recall products and impose significant criminal, civil and administrative sanctions for violations of these laws and regulations.
| 12 |
Changes in laws, regulations and policies and the related interpretations and enforcement practices may alter the landscape in which we do business and may significantly affect our cost of doing business. The impact of new laws, regulations and policies and the related interpretations and enforcement practices generally cannot be predicted, and changes in applicable laws, regulations and policies and the related interpretations and enforcement practices may require extensive system and operational changes, be difficult to implement, increase our operating costs and require significant capital expenditures. Untimely compliance or noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations could result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties that could adversely affect the continued operation of our business, including: suspension of payments from government programs; loss of required government certifications; loss of authorizations to participate in or exclusion from government programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs; loss of licenses; and significant fines or monetary penalties. Any failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in significant legal and financial exposure, damage our reputation, and have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.
We could be adversely affected by product liability, product recall, personal injury or other health and safety issues. We could be adversely impacted by the supply of defective or expired products, including the infiltration of counterfeit products into the supply chain, errors in re-labeling of products, product tampering, product recall and contamination or product mishandling issues. We are also exposed to risks relating to the services we provide. Errors in the dispensing and packaging of pharmaceuticals, including related counseling, and in the provision of other healthcare services could lead to serious injury or death. Product liability or personal injury claims may be asserted against us with respect to any of the pharmaceuticals we sell or services we provide. Should a product or other liability issue arise, the coverage limits under our insurance programs and the indemnification amounts available to us may not be adequate to protect us against claims and judgments. We also may not be able to maintain this insurance on acceptable terms in the future. We could suffer significant reputational damage and financial liability if we experience any of the foregoing health and safety issues or incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.
We only operate in one geographic area, the Bay Area. Our growth plan depends on establishing our service in new geographic areas outside of the Bay Area. If we are not able to establish additional locations in new geographic areas, we may not be able to successfully implement our planned growth. As of June 30, 2019, we operate out of two licensed micro-fulfilment centers in the Bay Area, with two more facilities permitted and soon to be operational, and one more facility leased but not yet licensed in Orange County, California. In order to continue to grow our business and extend our market position, we will need to establish more micro-fulfilment centers in other patient-dense geographies throughout the United States, including receiving the necessary licenses and permits. Our ability to expand the market for our products and services depends on a number of factors, including, among others, the cost of establishing and operating micro-fulfilment centers, continued customer acceptance of app or web-enabled ordering, our ability to efficiently scale customer acquisition and our ability to attract more physicians who can refer their patients to our services. If we are unable to expand to other areas and/or scale customer acquisition at a cost that provides acceptable long-term return, we may not be able to successfully grow our business.
| 13 |
We could be adversely affected by a failure to correctly deliver prescriptions. Proof of customer receipt is required for all deliveries of prescription medications, including especially deliveries of narcotics or other controlled drugs, designated as Schedule 2 through 5, where we also require a customer to present picture identification to the driver in addition to providing a digital signature. In certain circumstances, for non-controlled substances and with prior approval of the patient, our drivers are permitted to leave the delivery on the customer door-step and we request subsequent confirmation from the customer via text or app that they successfully received the delivery. In these circumstances, the driver also takes a photo of the package on the customer doorstep using the NowRx driver-side app, Wheels, which digitally stamps the photo with GPS coordinates, time and date and stores it in the customer file. The company’s technology also maintains detailed digital records of delivery routes and delivery stops for each delivery driver at each moment in time, and utilizes sophisticated software to identify delivery address and customer identity. Despite these precautions and technological systems, there remains a small risk that the delivery will be made incorrectly, whether because a prescription is delivered to the wrong address, the wrong medication is left at the right address, the right medication is left at the wrong address, the customer claims the medication was never delivered, or the medication is stolen by a third party. In such instances of mistaken delivery, we could suffer reputational damage or regulatory or financial harm.
Our failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business. As the company grows, it will be required to hire and attract additional qualified professionals such as pharmacists, pharmacist technicians, accounting, legal, finance, service and engineering experts. The company may not be able to locate or attract qualified individuals for such positions, which will affect the company’s ability to grow and expand its business.
The company has a history of losses, and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future. The company has operated at a loss since inception and has raised additional capital and borrowed funds to meet its growth needs. We expect to make significant future investments in order to develop and expand our business and develop more advanced technology to operate more efficiently, which we believe will result in additional sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses that will require increased sales to recover these additional costs. While net sales have grown in recent periods, this growth may not be sustainable or sufficient to cover the costs required to successfully compete. While the company believes its research and development in automation technology will continue to reduce pharmacy labor and operating expense, these technologies are state of the art and have not yet been proven in the industry, so the anticipated gains in efficiency are somewhat uncertain and may not emerge as anticipated. Delivery efficiency, and the resulting reduction in delivery expense, represents a significant factor in the company’s future profitability. As the company gains more customer penetration in the markets in which it operates, we expect more deliveries per square mile per hour will generally result in more efficient routing and higher deliveries per driver per hour (driver-hour). In addition, the company uses state of the art pharmacy management software algorithms to triage new and refill orders to further optimize routing and increase delivery per driver-hour. Should the market penetration and resulting customer density or the algorithms not perform as anticipated, the company may not be able to reduce delivery costs to a level sufficient to achieve sustained profitability. The company anticipates that our purchasing power with the wholesale providers will increase as we scale the business, and that this increased purchasing power will lower the price we pay to the wholesalers and reduce our cost of goods sold. The company may not be able to achieve sufficient size and/or the dynamics of the wholesale market may change, and this reduction in cost of goods sold may not materialize. The company plans to meaningfully increase average revenue per order (“basket size”) and gross profit per order through the sale of over-the-counter medications and related products. If the company is not successful in its efforts to market and sell these additional products, the increase in basket size and gross profit per order may not materialize as anticipated.
| 14 |
We expect to raise additional capital through equity and/or debt offerings to support our working capital requirements and operating losses. In order to fund future growth and development, the company will likely need to raise additional funds in the future by offering shares of its common or preferred stock and/or other classes of equity or debt that convert into shares of common or preferred stock, any of which offerings would dilute the ownership percentage of investors in this offering. See “Dilution.” Furthermore, if the company raises debt, the holders of the debt would have priority over holders of common and preferred stock and the company may accept terms that restrict its ability to incur more debt. We cannot assure you that the necessary funds will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, or that such funds if raised, would be sufficient. The level and timing of future expenditure will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. If we are not able to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to curtail or abandon our growth plans, which could adversely impact the company, its business, development, financial condition, operating results or prospects.
The auditor included a “going concern” note in its audit report. We may not have enough funds to sustain the business until it becomes profitable. Even if we raise funds through this offering, we may not accurately anticipate how quickly we may use the funds and whether these funds are sufficient to bring the business to profitability.
Some investors have more rights than others. As discussed below in “Description of Capital Stock,” the subscription agreement for this offering will provide information rights to investors who invest more than $50,000 in this offering and the right to participate in future financings on more favorable terms to investors who invest more than $250,000 in this offering.
If you fail to vote your shares, the company’s President may vote them instead. The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock set forth in the company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes a voting procedure. If any holders of Series B Preferred Stock fail to take action to vote the holders’ shares within a specified period of time, in certain circumstances, the company’s President will be authorized to vote on behalf of such shares that failed to vote in the same proportion as the votes received prior to the expiration of the notice period. See “Description of Capital Stock – Preferred Stock Protective Provisions – Voting Procedure.”
The subscription agreement has a forum selection provision that requires disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the State of Delaware, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor. In order to invest in this offering, investors agree to resolve disputes arising under the subscription agreement in state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the agreement. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. You will not be deemed to have waived the company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This forum selection provision may limit your ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us. Alternatively, if a court were to find the provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under the agreement. Investors in this offering will be bound by the subscription agreement, which includes a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against the company arising out of or relating to the agreement, including any claims made under the federal securities laws. By signing the agreement, the investor warrants that the investor has reviewed this waiver with his or her legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives the investor’s jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel.
| 15 |
If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. To our knowledge, the enforceability of a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver in connection with claims arising under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by a federal court. However, we believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of Delaware, which governs the agreement, by a federal or state court in the State of Delaware. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether the visibility of the jury trial waiver provision within the agreement is sufficiently prominent such that a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that this is the case with respect to the subscription agreement. You should consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the subscription agreement.
If you bring a claim against the company in connection with matters arising under the agreement, including claims under the federal securities laws, you may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to those claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against the company. If a lawsuit is brought against the company under the agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action.
Nevertheless, if the jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms the agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the subscription agreement serves as a waiver by any holder of the company’s securities or by the company of compliance with any substantive provision of the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws.
In addition, when the shares are transferred, the transferee is required to agree to all the same conditions, obligations and restrictions applicable to the shares or to the transferor with regard to ownership of the shares, that were in effect immediately prior to the transfer of the shares, including but not limited to the subscription agreement.
Investors in this offering must vote their shares to approve of certain future events, including our sale. The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering contains a “drag-along provision” related to the sale of the company whereby investors and their transferees agree to vote any shares they own in the same manner as the majority holders of our other classes of voting stock. Specifically, and without limitation, if the board of directors and majority holders of our other classes of stock may determine to sell the company, depending on the nature of the transaction, investors will be forced to sell their stock in that transaction regardless of whether they believe the transaction is the best or highest value for their shares, and regardless of whether they believe the transaction is in their best interests. Furthermore, if the consideration in such a sale includes securities and an investor’s receipt of such securities requires registration or qualification under securities laws or the provision to the investor of any information other than such information as would generally be available in an offering under Regulation D, the company may instead pay the investor in cash in lieu of such securities. See “Description of Capital Stock – Series B Preferred Stock – Drag Along Right.”
This investment is illiquid. There is no currently established market for reselling these securities. If you decide that you want to resell these securities in the future, you may not be able to find a buyer.
Your ability to transfer your securities may be limited. The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering contains a “market stand-off” provision in the event of a proposed public offering. See “Description of Capital Stock – Restrictions on Transfer” below. These requirements may delay or limit your ability to transfer your shares and delay or limit the ability of the third party transferee to transfer their shares in the future. Investors will also agree that any transferees of their shares will agree to a similar provision.
The value of your investment may be diluted if the company issues additional options or authorized shares. A pool of unallocated options is typically reserved for future employees, which affects the fully-diluted pre-money valuation for this offering. The price per share of the Series B Preferred Stock has been calculated assuming a 2.36% post-money unallocated option pool, which may not account for all additional options the company will issue after the offering and may not provide adequate protection against the dilution investors may face due to such additional issuances. Any option issuances by the company over the 2.36% pool will lower the value of your shares. In addition, the company has authorized a significant amount of unallocated shares of common and preferred, and may in the future issue these shares without stockholder approval, which will dilute your ownership.
| 16 |
Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the shares the investor owns.
Immediate dilution
An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or grants options over its shares) to its founders and early employees at a very low cash cost, because they are, in effect, putting their “sweat equity” into the company. When the company seeks cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new investors typically pay a much larger sum for their shares than the founders or earlier investors, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because all the shares are worth the same amount, and you paid more than earlier investors for your shares.
The following table demonstrates the price that new investors are paying for their shares of Series B Preferred Stock with the effective cash price paid by existing stockholders, giving effect to full conversion of all outstanding stock options and outstanding SAFE agreements and assuming that the shares are sold at $3.4477 per share. The table presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception, which gives investors a better picture of what they will pay for their investment compared to the company’s insiders than just including such transactions for the last 12 months, which is what the Commission requires. The share numbers and amounts in this table assume (1) conversion of all of the company’s outstanding SAFE agreements into shares of Series B Preferred Stock immediately prior to the initial closing of this offering and (2) conversion of all outstanding options into shares of Common Stock at weighted average exercise price. The dilution disclosures contained in this section are based upon the instruments issued and outstanding through the date of this Offering Circular.

Of these SAFE agreements, agreements in the amount of $150,000 have conversion terms stipulating conversion pricing at a 50% discount (or $1.72 per share); agreements in the amount of $150,000 have conversion terms stipulating conversion pricing at a 80% discount (or $2.76 per share); and agreements in the amount of $325,000 have conversion terms stipulating conversion pricing at a 85% discount (or $2.93 per share). The terms of this offering would trigger conversion of the SAFE agreements into a total of 252,298 shares of Series B Preferred, or $2.48 per share. |

Future dilution
Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to future actions by the company. The investor’s stake in a company could be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares. In other words, when the company issues more shares, the percentage of the company that you own will go down, even though the value of the company may go up. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another Regulation A round, a venture capital round, angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g. convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.
If the company decides to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if the company offers dividends, and most early stage companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the company).
The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most occurs when the company sells more shares in a “down round,” meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings. An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are for illustrative purposes only):
| ● | In June 2017 Jane invests $20,000 for shares that represent 2% of a company valued at $1 million. |
| ● | In December the company is doing very well and sells $5 million in shares to venture capitalists on a valuation (before the new investment) of $10 million. Jane now owns only 1.3% of the company but her stake is worth $200,000. |
| ● | In June 2018 the company has run into serious problems and in order to stay afloat it raises $1 million at a valuation of only $2 million (the “down round”). Jane now owns only 0.89% of the company and her stake is worth only $26,660. |
This type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by early-stage companies provide that in the event of another round of financing, the holders of the convertible notes get to convert their notes into equity at a “discount” to the price paid by the new investors, i.e., they get more shares than the new investors would for the same price. Additionally, convertible notes may have a “price cap” on the conversion price, which effectively acts as a share price ceiling. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the financing is a “down round” the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, and even more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to the amount of convertible notes that the company has issued (and may issue in the future, and the terms of those notes.
If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of the company or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it’s important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by the company. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.

The net proceeds of a fully subscribed offering after deducting offering expenses and commissions will be approximately $18.2 million, allocated as follows:
| · | Approximately $7.2 million for general and administrative expenses, including pharmacy operations and support, which we estimate includes |
| o | $1.1 million for employee compensation. Of this amount, $0.8 million would go towards executive officer compensation; | |
| o | $4.9 million for pharmacy operations and support. Of this amount, $1.6 million would go towards delivery expenses; | |
| o | $0.9 million for office and equipment leases; and | |
| o | The remaining $0.3 million would go towards other operating expenses including legal, and office expenses; |
| · | Approximately $5.7 million for research and development of the company’s technology; and | |
| · | Approximately $5.3 million for sales and marketing. |
If the offering size is equal to or less than $15.0 million, representing 75% of the maximum offering amount, then we estimate that the net proceeds after deducting offering expenses and commissions would be approximately $13.6 million, allocated as follows:
| · | Approximately $5.7 million for general and administrative expenses, including pharmacy operations and support, which we estimate includes |
| o | $1.0 million for employee compensation. Of this amount, $0.8 million would go towards executive officer compensation; | |
| o | $3.8 million for pharmacy operations and support. Of this amount, $1.2 million would go towards delivery expenses; | |

| · | Approximately $4.6 million for sales and marketing. |
If the offering size is equal to or less than $10.0 million, representing 50% of the maximum offering amount, then we estimate that the net proceeds after deducting offering expenses and commissions would be approximately $9.1 million, allocated as follows:
| · | Approximately $3.5 million for general and administrative expenses, including pharmacy operations and support, which we estimate includes |
| o | $650,000 for employee compensation. Of this amount, $570,000 would go towards executive officer compensation; | |
| o | $2.2 million for pharmacy operations and support. Of this amount, $0.8 million would go towards delivery expenses; | |
| o | $400,000 for office and equipment leases; | |

If the offering size were to be equal to the minimum offering amount of $1,500,000, we estimate that the net proceeds would be approximately $1,320,000. In this case, we would significantly reduce our marketing and research and development efforts. In this scenario, emphasis would be placed on achieving cash-flow positive results at our existing locations.
Because the offering is a “best efforts” offering, we may close the offering without sufficient funds for all the intended purposes set out above, or even to cover the costs of this offering.
The company reserves the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in the best interests of the company.

Overview
NowRx was founded with the goal of developing software, artificial intelligence, robotics and logistics to create the most convenient retail pharmacy service available, including free same-day delivery for prescription medications. For urgent medications, expedited one-hour delivery is available for an additional $5 charge. NowRx operates from within a “virtual pharmacy” location, a low-cost, highly automated, micro-fulfilment center that employs end-to-end robotic dispensing (“One-Click Fill”) and an artificially intelligent chat bot to provide a more efficient and effective pharmacy experience for busy customers and their physicians. Medications are hand delivered by trained NowRx drivers in plug-in electric vehicles. By eliminating the dependency on retail space, NowRx is able to maintain fixed overhead costs that are substantially lower than traditional pharmacy providers with retail storefronts on busy streets. Further margin advantages are provided by robotics and software automation. For added convenience, customers can manage their prescriptions through the NowRx mobile app, text, intelligent chat bots, phone, or through virtual voice-activated assistants such as Google Home.

NowRx responds to an obvious market need—solving the inconvenience of traditional brick and mortar pharmacies by providing all of the same pharmacy services, along with the additional benefit of safe, reliable delivery directly to the customer’s door free of charge. With NowRx, customers can conveniently manage their existing prescriptions, upload new prescriptions and even consult with a licensed pharmacist – all without ever having to leave their home or make a trip to a local pharmacy. No need to visit the pharmacy to obtain a prescription medication; no need for transportation to the pharmacy, or to stand in long lines, or to wait for the prescription to be filled. Recent studies have shown the median pharmacy wait time was 45 minutes,7 and a second trip to the pharmacy was required 33% of the time.8 Customers can also use the app to easily set daily reminders to minimize the risk of missing a medication dose and to automatically request an upcoming refill order.
With free-same day delivery and one-hour expedited delivery, NowRx is part of a much broader global trend towards services delivered directly to customers home rapidly and free, a trend recently described as the on-demand economy. The size and rapid growth of the on-demand economy clearly shows that consumers are attracted by the user experience, added convenience and other benefits it provides. Recent studies show on-demand services have already moved beyond early adopters and are gaining traction among mainstream consumers who require that platforms be user-friendly, safe and fast.9

NowRx also offers advantages over mail-order pharmacies, which are able to save customers trips to the pharmacy under certain circumstances, but can be confusing to use and are inherently unable to address many important pharmacy needs, including: first time prescriptions; urgent and refrigerated medications; or others not permitted to be sent through the mail such as narcotics and other DEA-controlled medications. We believe NowRx combines the best of current pharmacy offerings to create an exciting new pharmacy solution. Several of the NowRx services are designed to also make the prescription process more convenient for physicians who also can be frustrated by the bottlenecks and inefficiencies in the pharmacy process, including our automated manufacturer coupon software that automatically applies available manufacturer coupons without the physicians having to manage physical coupons, and a streamlined insurance prior authorization process that reduces the amount of time physicians and their staff spend obtaining insurance approvals for drugs not on the health plan formularies.
We plan to establish multiple locations in strategic patient-dense areas across the country. As of December 31, 2018, the company’s service area covers the Mountain View locality in the Bay Area, where we launched our first micro-fulfilment center in January 2016. During 2019, we seek to expand within the Bay Area, to Daly City, South San Francisco and Morgan Hill, as well as the Los Angeles/Orange County area, by establishing additional micro-fulfilment centers to support those localities. We entered into 4 additional long-term office space leases, to execute on this strategy, 3 of which were signed during the fourth quarter of 2018, and 1 in January 2019. Three of these leases are for new micro-fulfilment centers in northern California and 1 in Southern California. As of December 31, 2018, one of these 4 new locations was issued a pharmacy permit, with the permits for the remaining 3 locations still pending. Our longer-term strategy is to expand to additional West Coast areas, including Seattle and San Diego, and ultimately to the rest of the country. Any expansion plans will be based on the competitive landscape, partnerships, continued access to expansion capital and other strategic considerations.
NowRx was incorporated in Delaware under the name YouRx, Inc. on February 19, 2015 and changed its name to NowRx, Inc. on May 19, 2015. We also do business under the names NowRx Express and NowRx Specialty.

Industry Trends
On-Demand Economy
NowRx is responding to the rapidly increasing consumer demand for services delivered same-day and managed by convenience of mobile apps, chat bots and voice-activated assistants. The on-demand economy is attracting more than 22.4 million consumers annually and $57.6 billion in spending3. Recent studies show on-demand services have already moved beyond early adopters and are gaining traction among mainstream consumers who require that platforms be user-friendly, safe and fast. We believe it’s just a matter of time before few people will be standing in traditional pharmacy lines.
The on-demand economy is also rapidly expanding across the global economy. According to Crowd Companies, a firm that tracks on-demand platform businesses, more than 280 companies provide on-demand goods and services across sixteen industries today. This is up from only 76 companies operating in just six industries two years ago. There are numerous recent examples of major corporations entering on-demand markets; such as GM’s partnership with Lyft, and hotel giant Accor’s recent acquisition of Airbnb competitor Onefinestay.10
Traditional Pharmacy Industry
Traditional retail pharmacy is a $260 billion industry, with approximately 61,700 retail pharmacy locations in the United States dispensing more than 4 billion prescriptions annually.11 The rate of sales growth in the United States has slowed in recent years, driven by a decline in new blockbuster drugs, a longer FDA approval process, drug safety concerns, higher copayments and an increase in the use of generic drugs, which are less expensive but generate higher gross margins. New drug development in the next few years is expected to be concentrated in specialty prescriptions, which are targeted toward a specific disease state. These drugs are often complex and expensive. We expect prescription usage to continue to grow in the coming years due to the aging U.S. population, increased life expectancy, "baby boomers" continuing to become eligible for the federally funded Medicare prescription program and new drug therapies.

Generic prescription drugs continue to help lower overall costs for customers and third-party payors. We believe the utilization of existing generic pharmaceuticals will continue to increase, although the pace of introduction of new generic drugs is expected to slow. In general, generic versions of drugs generate lower sales dollars per prescription, but higher gross profit dollars, as compared with patent-protected brand name drugs. The impact on retail pharmacy gross profit dollars can be significant in the first several months after a generic version of a drug is first allowed to compete with the branded version, which is generally referred to as a “generic conversion.” In any given year, the number of major brand name drugs that undergo a conversion from branded to generic status can vary and the timing of generic conversions can be difficult to predict, which can have a significant impact on retail pharmacy sales and gross profit dollars.
Industry Consolidation and New Entrants
In recent years, the pharmacy industry and pharmacy-related health insurance providers have experienced substantial consolidation involving several blockbuster mergers and acquisitions: 1) $69 billion merger of CVS Health and Aetna, 2) CIGNA’s $52 billion acquisition of Express Scripts, 3) Walgreens’ acquisition of 1,932 Rite Aid stores for $4.4 billion. Some of these transactions represent a significant increase in vertical integration between pharmacies that distribute medications and the insurance plans and their network managers (PBM companies), that determine the reimbursements to pharmacies.
Another potentially significant transaction was Amazon’s acquisition of Pillpack, a startup company focused on mail delivery pharmacy for patients with multiple, long-term medications. Pillpack emphasizes the organization of medications for patients using industry standard “strip packaging” that organizes patients’ medications in a strip of multi-dose pouches, a technology that has been widely available in the pharmacy industry for more than a decade.
We believe these recent industry developments represent a somewhat predictable reaction to changing consumer behavior and rapidly increasing demand for more speed and convenience in pharmacy. While industry consolidation by the largest players has potential to increase competition for consumers and increased pricing pressures, we believe these same conditions also create opportunity for agile, technology-driven players that can rapidly adapt and sustainably differentiate their offerings to consumers leveraging technology and innovative business models and processes.
Products and Services
As an on-demand pharmacy, NowRx offers all of the same medication prescription services as a traditional retail pharmacy but does so remotely from a low cost, highly automated micro-fulfilment center (“virtual pharmacy”), providing free same-day delivery of prescription drugs and some over-the-counter medications. For an additional $5.00, the company provides delivery within 1 hour of placing an order for in-stock pharmaceuticals; a choice that may be important if a drug is needed urgently.
We offer our services through the NowRx app, by text, by telephone and through voice-activated virtual assistants such as Google Home. Customers can download the NowRx app and complete their profile, including providing details of their health insurance plan and payment method, and delivery address information. Once a customer has completed their profile, they can instruct their doctors to send their prescriptions directly to NowRx when e-prescribing. The customer is then notified via the app that their prescription has been received and verified with their insurance company; the amount of the copay; and that the prescription will be delivered to the address of their choice the same day at no cost. With a single click the customer confirms the order. Alternatively, customers can scan a paper prescription securely through the NowRx app or transfer existing prescriptions from other pharmacies.
For a prescription covered by an insurance health plan (also known as a “third-party payor”), we collect from the customer the co-payment amount dictated by the third-party payor. If there is no third-party payor, we charge the customer a cash price that is set based on our own competitive pricing plan. As a service to our customers, NowRx also applies available manufacturer coupons, often doing so electronically and automatically without the customer having to perform any action or handle any paper coupon cards. We accept payments using a variety of methods, including cash, checks, credit and debit cards and health savings plans. Physicians are able to send prescriptions to NowRx through electronic prescribing, fax, the NowRx app or telephone.
| 24 |
Services provided include fulfilling new prescriptions or refills, transferring prescriptions from other pharmacies, and application of drug manufacturer coupons. The latter service is especially useful since many traditional pharmacies do not have the capability of automatically handling coupon driven prescription orders. NowRx also provides reminders through the app and text messages to help customers remember to take medications and to process refills, to help promote better health and wellness. The NowRx app also has a secure video chat feature that allows customers to conveniently speak to a NowRx pharmacist from a private location of their own choosing.
As part of the company’s comprehensive approach to pharmacy, services are also provided to prescribing physicians, including: coordination and assistance with pre-authorization requests that arise when third-party insurance providers request additional information before approving a reimbursement claim; maintaining and communicating real-time status of prescription fulfillment and delivery to patient; and communicating decision support information such as available drug substitutions and/or drug interaction information. Information regarding fulfillment and delivery is available through a proprietary, secure web-based physician portal, accessible by the physician smart phone or desktop computer.
The company uses employees and occasionally third-party delivery firms to deliver to a customer’s home or office. Drivers utilize the NowRx driver-side app, Wheels, that provides optimized routing logistics, special handling instructions and customer contact information, as well as, capture of signature and identification information. In instances in which a customer provides a scanned copy of their prescription, delivery personnel collect the original prescription prior to completing the delivery. Delivery personnel also collect cash payments when a customer does not make payment through the app or online. The company collects customer signature at the point of delivery through the Wheels app. When a customer is not present for signature, deliveries can be rerouted or arrangements can be made to leave the delivery, capture time and GPS stamped photo image of the delivered medication, and secure digital signature subsequently as proof of receipt by customer.
Suppliers
As a licensed pharmacy, NowRx purchases pharmaceutical products through wholesalers, then sells those products to patients, and then receives its revenue in the form of reimbursements from the patient’s insurance health plans, drug manufacturer coupons and from the patients themselves in the form of co-pays or cash payments. We purchase approximately 90% of our pharmaceutical products from McKesson, with the remainder supplied by Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (“IPC”). Orders are placed with McKesson at the end of each workday and those ordered items are delivered to NowRx the next business morning via truck delivery. IPC delivers products via UPS to NowRx. If our relationship with McKesson or IPC were disrupted, we could temporarily have difficulty filling prescriptions for branded and generic drugs until we execute a replacement wholesaler agreement or develop and implement self-distribution processes. There are several well-established wholesalers that are competitors to McKesson, including AmerisourceBergen Corp, Cardinal Health, Inc., and several smaller companies. We believe we could obtain and qualify alternative sources for substantially all of the prescription drugs we sell on an acceptable basis, and accordingly that the impact of any disruption would be temporary
Customers
During 2018, we filled approximately 41,834 prescriptions. As of December 31, 2018, NowRx has more than 15,297 customers. A portion of our customers order one or more prescriptions each and every month, whereas some of our other customers order only one prescription every few months. During 2018 our typical customer averaged 1.7 prescriptions and $159 revenue per month throughout the year. The loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
The following table illustrates the cumulative number of customers since the company commenced operations.
| 25 |
Third-party Payors
We enter into contracts with third-party payors (such as insurance companies, prescription benefit management companies, government agencies, private employers or other managed care providers) that agree to pay for all or a portion of a customer's eligible prescription purchases based on negotiated and contracted reimbursement rates for each prescription drug included in the third-party payor’s formulary. We collect from the customer any amount that remains due after reimbursement from third-party payors, if any. Reimbursement amounts from third-party payors are recorded as accounts receivable until payment is received, typically 20-45 days after the prescription is filled.
In 2018, 87% of our net sales involved prescription medications eligible for reimbursement by third-party health insurance payors. Health insurance reimbursements are managed by intermediaries called Pharmacy Benefit Managers, or PBMs. Furthermore, NowRx is part of a Pharmacy Service Organization Administrator, or PSAO, called Healthmart Atlas (formerly called Access Health). Healthmart Atlas aggregates reimbursements from one of the larger PBM companies, Express Scripts, along with several other PBM companies. During 2018, third-party health insurance reimbursements remitted through Healthmart Atlas accounted for approximately 30% of our net sales.
Technology
NowRx has developed and deployed a comprehensive suite of technologies, including the following:
Unified Communication Layer: Virtual Assistants, Mobile App and Chat Bots
NowRx has developed an extensive communication layer that unifies communication from customers from across a variety of modalities, including mobile app, chat bot that interacts with native mobile texting, and voice-activated voice assistants such as Google Home, where NowRx is one of the few HIPAA-compliant healthcare application approved to manage prescriptions via voice. Customers can interact with NowRx using any of these communication modalities to manage new prescriptions and refills and receive helpful daily reminders.
“One-Click Fill”: Fully Integrated, End-to-end Robotic Dispensing
NowRx has developed a proprietary software method of interfacing with a commercially available robotic dispensing system allowing automated dispensing of refill requests with the press of one button on the mobile app by the customer (“One-Click Fill”). Similarly, automated dispensing can be triggered by chat bot or voice-activated assistant command. Transfer requests from other pharmacies can also be made by the user via the app, chat bot or voice-activated assistant. Using Internet Protocol, these requests are automatically routed to the NowRx location where the robot performs automatic medication filling (sort, count, bottle, label and cap) without human intervention. A licensed pharmacist verifies every prescription before packaging for delivery, in accordance with regulations.
| 26 |
Delivery Logistics Layer and Opportunistic Refill Processing
NowRx has developed an extensive logistics platform and dashboard to optimize delivery routes based on traffic, geography and driver load. Furthermore, a large portion of medications are refilled and delivered to customers at regular intervals, usually once per month on or about the same day of the month (“ordinary refill queue”). However, refills may be opportunistically processed and delivered several days early, when permitted by the insurance health plan (typically 7 days in advance), to optimize delivery efficiency as measured by the number of refills delivered to the same neighborhood on the same day. As an illustration, if a new or refill prescription request is scheduled for delivery today to a certain neighborhood, the ordinary refill queue is scanned for any refills destined for the same neighborhood albeit several days in the future (“opportunistic refill”). These opportunistic refills are thus processed several days earlier than originally scheduled, thereby optimizing today’s deliveries to the target neighborhood, resulting in a lower cost delivery. As is always the case with deliveries, the customer is contacted first to confirm that an earlier delivery is acceptable.

Future Development
Patient Analytics: NowRx Medication Adherence IndexSM
NowRx is developing a method to improve the consistency with which patients adhere to their prescription plans (“medication adherence”). Patient frustration with the pharmacy process contributes to delays or postponement of medication regimes, non-adherence and in some cases prescription abandonment. Non-adherence is common. 110 million prescriptions are abandoned each year.12 For chronic disease patients, it is estimated that between 20% and 30% of prescriptions are never filled and up to 50% of medications are not taken as prescribed. Failure to follow prescriptions causes some 125,000 deaths per year and up to 10% of all hospitalizations. Medication non-adherence has been estimated to cause between $100 billion to $289 billion in waste to the U.S. healthcare system.13 One study found that 35% of patients who failed to fill their prescriptions cite the following reasons: 1) too busy to go to pharmacy, or too inconvenient, 2) forgot, or 3) lack of transportation.14 Patients that fail to adhere to their medication regimes, particularly those medications for chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and COPD, sometimes risk critical health episodes that lead to emergency healthcare services (hospitalizations, emergency rooms, or urgent care facilities). We believe it is possible to identify which patients are more likely to become non-adherent. NowRx intends to utilize data analytics and machine learning to calculate the NowRx Medication Adherence IndexSM, which will trigger additional communication and service protocols, such as additional text messages, phone calls from a pharmacist or coordination with a physician, to help improve medication adherence.
Mastering “The Last Mile of Healthcare”
Pharmacy represents a key entry point into the healthcare system for many customers. In fact, there are few aspects of healthcare that do not at some point intersect with pharmacy. Pharmacy data is some of the most valuable healthcare data available and we receive this data in its raw form, directly from physicians. In this way, we think about NowRx as a technology and Big Data company, and we plan to continue to develop advanced technologies across a wide array of pharmacy applications. All use of aggregate data is strictly subject to all applicable HIPAA and other privacy laws. In addition, pharmacists rank very high as authority figures in the healthcare planning for many customers. We believe there is an opportunity for technology-enabled, delivery-based pharmacies to become “health hubs” of the future, offering a platform to deploy additional healthcare services directly to customers, wherever they consume their healthcare services: at home, online or on their smartphone.
Wholesale Spot Purchasing Automation
Drug prices on the wholesale market have a high degree of variability. Each drug compound is available from multiple manufacturers, sold by a variety of wholesalers, each with their own individual price, which varies daily. Most pharmacies do not have sufficient staff resources to check all of the price variations each day in order to find the lowest price, and as a result frequently overpay for their inventory. NowRx’s software system automatically analyzes prices across several wholesalers, manufacturers and drug formulation, and identify the lowest price each day, thereby optimizing wholesale purchases and increasing gross margins.
Marketing
NowRx focuses marketing on two areas: the physician referral channel and direct-to-consumer. We market to physicians utilizing marketing representatives who visit directly with physicians and their staff to promote the benefits of NowRx not only to their patients but also to the physician’s office itself. Physicians obtain several benefits from the NowRx service, including reduced office resources spent managing patient prescriptions, streamlined insurance plan approvals including pre-authorizations, and more consistent application of drug coupons, all of which reduce the number of inbound calls to physicians, reduce time spent by physicians’ staff speaking with customers, drive higher patient satisfaction and potentially better patient health outcomes. NowRx also markets directly to healthcare facilities such as assisted living facilities that generate high volume prescription orders from multiple patients, and local hospitals, both of which are especially resource efficient marketing channels. As for direct-to-consumer marketing, we have continued to strengthen our presence on social media sites such as Facebook, as well as more traditional consumer marketing methods such as radio and TV. As the company scales up and achieves broad-based consumer recognition in any given region, we will increasingly focus on consumer driven marketing, both digital and traditional, in the pursuit of revenue growth.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, the company increased spending on direct-to-consumer digital, radio and cable TV advertising, as reflected by the higher sales and marketing expense in our financial statements. We intend to continue increasing spend moderately throughout 2019 as we attempt to increase market share in the areas surrounding our new micro-fulfilment centers.
Market Opportunity
We believe retail pharmacy is a $260 billion industry on the brink of total transformation – a transformation the leading competitors are ill-equipped to address. We believe recent trends in the on-demand economy clearly demonstrate that the historic pharmacy model of requiring “in-store pickup” is becoming outdated, as consumers are increasingly demanding more services delivered the same-day or even same-hour. The large players in the industry are currently committed financially to a business model that is fundamentally dependent on customers coming into stores to pick up their prescriptions and then buying additional items such as over-the-counter drugs and sundries. In 2017, there were approximately 63,500 traditional pharmacies that dispensed 5.8 billion 30-day prescriptions.15 The traditional pharmacy model with expansive retail space offering other products beyond prescription medications (such as over-the-counter medications and sundries) creates a strong financial incentive for large pharmacy chains to maintain their in-store pickup model for the upsell opportunity. We believe adopting a free same-day delivery necessarily reduces the upsell opportunity created by in-store foot traffic and thereby undermines the financial viability of the thousands of brick and mortar locations that are the backbone of the industry (i.e., industry disruption16). Furthermore, we believe the reliance on extensive retail infrastructure by the large pharmacy chains and the apparent lack of automation technology, places them at a significant competitive disadvantage in attempting the NowRx free same-day delivery model. In fact, recent attempts at same-day delivery by several industry leaders come with a charge of $8.99 to the customer or $4.99 for next day delivery, a model we believe will be a non-starter for most mainstream pharmacy customers.1718 Notwithstanding the foregoing, we believe that the large chain store pharmacies will ultimately be compelled to provide a free same-day delivery model but are likely to do so through acquisitions or strategic partnerships with existing players such as NowRx that will have already developed systems, processes, automation software and other technology optimized from the ground up for free same-day delivery . Acquisition or strategic partnership can be a much easier path of entry for a legacy player since it can substantially reduce the technology risk. This result could serve NowRx stockholders well since it affords the company another opportunity for a liquidity event beyond a potential eventual initial public offering, particular if there are competing acquisition offers from existing players as well as new technology-based entrants such as Amazon or Uber. We cannot assure you, however, that any such acquisition or IPO will take place.

Competition
The retail pharmacy industry is highly competitive and going through rapid changes as it grapples with increasing consumer demand for better customer service including same-day delivery. NowRx competes with, among others, other startups in the on-demand prescription drug delivery space, retail drugstore chains, independently owned drugstores, wellness offerings and mail order pharmacies. We compete on the basis of convenience and customer service that is made possible through our new model for pharmacy based on efficient, highly automated micro-fulfilment centers powered by robotics, AI-powered chat bots, other software automation, and logistics all optimized for free same-day delivery and one-hour, expedited delivery. We intend to continue establishing a unique brand known for the ultimate in pharmacy convenience and dependability. We believe continued consolidation of the drugstore industry, new entrants like Amazon, and the aggressive discounting of generic drugs by mass merchandisers will further increase competitive pressures in the industry.
Startups
We are aware of several startups in the same-day prescription drug delivery space, including Alto Pharmacy, Capsule, Medly and NimbleRx, with the latter having recently cancelled the majority of their pharmacy licenses in California, indicating a change or pivot in strategy. Alto Pharmacy is located in the San Francisco Bay Area and emphasizes fertility and HIV in its marketing. Capsule and Medly currently serves parts of New York City and a part of New Jersey. Several of these competitors have raised significant venture capital rounds of funding. We believe we are the most technologically advanced pharmacy solution on the market and offer the most customer-centric and reliable on-demand service available.
Large Chain Pharmacies
The strategy of national pharmacy chains is fundamentally based on in-store upsell opportunities (over-the-counter and sundries). Any move by the pharmacy chains into free delivery would necessarily decrease customer foot traffic, undermine their upsell opportunities, and jeopardize the financial results of their expansive retail infrastructure. Free delivery of prescription drugs will inevitably disrupt their existing business model. We believe that ultimately the large chain pharmacies will be compelled by virtue of consumer demand to enter the on-demand, free same-day delivery space and likely will do so by acquiring existing players such as NowRx. As such, NowRx is building its business with the possibility of such a sale in mind, positioning itself to assure that its back-office infrastructure, its technology, and its delivery platform, are robust enough to support a business with thousands of highly efficient and automated locations. While there can be no assurance that a large pharmacy chain will seek to acquire the company, we believe this approach will make the company highly attractive to a large strategic buyer.
Mail Order Pharmacies
Mail-order pharmacy is a $135 billion market. The number of prescriptions being filled by mail-order pharmacies has been in decline the last several years, losing market share to retail chains and independent pharmacies.19 Mail is an inexpensive and fairly convenient service, but by its very nature it is not an immediate or same-day service. It does not address “same-day fill” prescriptions, which is the $260 billion market that NowRx is addressing. Furthermore, acute, refrigerated (antibiotics, insulin, etc.) and controlled medications (schedule II narcotics, psychotropics, etc.), and first-time prescriptions that require pharmacist consultation, are better suited for local, retail or on-demand pharmacy dispensing.

Amazon and Other New Entrants
In 2018, Amazon acquired PillPack, an online pharmacy that ships through the mail drugs packaged in pre-sorted doses, but does not provide same-day delivery. Similar to other mail-order businesses, Pillpack has a small number of pharmacy locations distributed strategically across the United States: Manchester, New Hampshire, Miami, Florida, Brooklyn, New York, Phoenix, Arizona and Austin, Texas – situated to promote consistent mail delivery to most or all parts of the United States. These pharmacy locations can deliver to customers outside of these states using out-of-state pharmacy licenses. Deliveries to out-of-state customers takes several days, in some cases up to 2 weeks.20 In order to provide same-day and even same-hour delivery, pharmacy fulfilment centers must be located near customers, and each facility is required by regulations to maintain its own pharmacy inventory on location, with licensed pharmacists on premises during business hours. We believe that while it is possible Amazon is going to eventually target same-day delivery pharmacy, Pillpack is decidedly a mail delivery pharmacy without the required licenses, infrastructure, systems or processes required to provide same-day delivery. Amazon may build the necessary requirements for same-day delivery but we believe they are currently targeting mail delivery and further, they would have to add substantially to the current Pillpack offering to achieve same-day delivery.
We believe NowRx has ample runway to build our business before and if Amazon enters the same-day pharmacy delivery space. In addition, pharmacy is a very high touch, intense customer service business, with pharmacy customers having very little tolerance for any lapses in service. As a healthcare business, pharmacy also involves personal health information and therefore, a high degree of security and customer trust. Other new, unknown entrants may also enter this space.
Employees
At December 31, 2018, we have 23 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees working out of our headquarters in Mountain View, California, including 4 licensed pharmacists.

The company does not currently hold any patents or trademarks. The company has filed a provisional patent covering several areas of our technology discussed above under “ — Technology.” This provisional patent filing was registered with the US Patent Office on January 17, 2018 with serial no. 62618154. The provisional patent was converted into a utility patent on January 17, 2019 with serial no. 16249899
Research and Development
In 2017 and 2018, we spent $2,518 and $266,140, respectively, for research and development.
Regulation
Our business is subject to federal, state and local laws, regulations, and administrative practices concerning the provision of and payment for health care services, including, without limitation: federal, state and local licensure and registration requirements concerning the operation of pharmacies and the practice of pharmacy; Medicare, Medicaid and other publicly financed health benefit plan regulations prohibiting kickbacks, beneficiary inducement and the submission of false claims; the ACA; regulations of the FDA and the DEA, including regulations governing the purchase, sale, storing and dispensing of controlled substances and other products, as well as regulations promulgated by state and other federal agencies concerning automated outbound contacts such as phone calls, text messages and emails.
NowRx is licensed by the DEA and the state of California. Our existing pharmacies are regulated by the state of California. As we expand our operations within California and in other states, each micro-fulfilment center will constitute a pharmacy, which will require a separate state license, and the company will become subject to additional states’ licensure and registration requirements.
Our business is also subject to patient privacy and other obligations, including responsibility imposed by HIPAA. As a covered entity, we are required to implement privacy standards, train our employees on the permitted uses and disclosures of protected health information, provide a notice of privacy practice to our customers and permit customers to access and amend their records and receive an accounting of disclosures of protected health information. We are also subject to federal and state privacy and data security laws with respect to our receipt, use and disclosure by us of personally identifiable information, which laws require us to provide appropriate privacy and security safeguards for such information.
In addition, in connection with the operation of our distribution center, we are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and health and safety matters, including those governing the management and disposal of hazardous substances and the cleanup of contaminated sites.
The Medicare Part D program has undergone significant legislative and regulatory changes since its inception and continues to attract a high degree of legislative and regulatory scrutiny. The applicable government rules and regulations are expected to continue to evolve in the future.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise indicated, the latest results discussed below are as of December 31, 2018.
Overview
The company is an on-demand pharmacy, leveraging the latest in software technology, artificial intelligence, robotics and logistics to provide free same-day delivery of prescription medications, thereby avoiding the need to ever visit the pharmacy. NowRx was founded in February 2015 and commenced operations and revenue generation in January 2016. In 2015 the company was focused on obtaining its pharmacy licenses, developing the technology for the pharmacy platform and the mobile app, and establishing its first pharmacy location.
The company’s net sales consist of payments for prescription and some over-the-counter (“OTC”) items. For a prescription medication covered by a third party payor, such as an insurance company, a PBM company or a manufacturer coupon plan, the company receives a portion of its revenues from the patient, in the form of a co-payment paid or charged at the time the prescription is filled, and the remainder as a reimbursement from the third-party payor, at contracted prices. For prescription medications not covered by a third-party payor, the payment is collected entirely from the patient. The company records the amounts subject to reimbursement in accounts receivable until payment is received, typically 20-45 days after the prescription is filled. Cost of goods sold consists primarily of prescription and OTC medications that are acquired from wholesale suppliers.
Our net sales, gross profit margin and gross profit are impacted by, among other things, the percentage of prescriptions that we fill that are generic versus brand name, the rate at which new generic and brand name drugs are introduced to the market, the mix of business between prescription medications and OTC items, and variations in wholesale pricing. Because any number of factors outside of our control can affect timing for a generic conversion, we face substantial uncertainty in predicting when such conversions will occur and what effect they will have on particular future periods. Further consolidation among generic manufacturers coupled with changes in the number of major brand name drugs anticipated to undergo a conversion from branded to generic status may also result in gross margin pressures within the industry. We continuously face reimbursement pressure from PBM companies and other commercial third-party payors. In addition, plan changes with rate adjustments often occur in January and our reimbursement arrangements may provide for rate adjustments at prescribed intervals during their term. We experienced lower reimbursement rates as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2018 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Wholesale pricing plans provide volume discounts that present an opportunity to increase gross margins as we grow our business. Increasing the percentage of revenue contributed by OTC items can also expand margins, as OTC items typically have higher margins than prescription medications. Longer-term, we expect downward pressure on reimbursements to be offset by improvements in wholesale volume discounting and increased OTC sales. However there is significant uncertainty in predicting the result of these offsetting factors on margins.
Results of operations
Year ended December 31, 2018 Compared to Year ended December 31, 2017
The company’s net sales for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $4,743,075, an increase of $2,245,408, or 89.9%, from net sales of $2,497,667 in 2017. This increase is attributable to a significant increase in number of customers. Cost of goods sold was $4,108,233 in 2018, resulting in gross profit of $634,842, and a gross margin of 13.4%. This compares to cost of goods sold totaling $2,162,965, gross profit of $334,702, and a gross margin of 13.4% in 2017. The company sold 41,834 prescription orders in 2018, as compared to 20,772 prescription orders in 2017. Average revenue per prescription and average gross profit per prescription in 2018 were $113.38 and $15.17, respectively. In 2017, average revenue per prescription was $120.34 and average gross profit per prescription was $16.11. The company’s mix of business, brand name drug vs. generic drug, was slightly more weighted towards generic drugs in 2018 as compared to 2017, which generally have lower revenue per prescription, similar margin percentage, and lower average gross profit per prescription as compared to brand name products. While the company does not anticipate dramatic change in the mix of business in the near term, new contracts from wholesaler arrangements, drug manufacturers, health facilities or other partners could have significant impact in its mix of business and/or margins.
| 34 |
The company’s operating expenses consist of general and administrative, sales and marketing, depreciation, and research and development expenses. Operating expenses in 2018 were $3,514,435, compared to $1,351,086 in 2017, an increase of $2,163,349, or 160.1%, resulting from the company’s expanding operations to meet increased customer demand.
General and administrative expenses represented the largest component of this increase, from $1,218,349 in 2017 to $2,677,727 in 2018, as:
| · | the company’s payroll increased from $789,140, to $1,826,659 as it increased executive compensation in line with early stage startups and added 10 employees, |
| · | legal and professional services increased from $42,061 to $96,938, |
| · | lease arrangements increased from $56,194 to $109,027, |
| · | travel expenses decreased from $54,071 to $44,763, and |
| · | delivery costs increased from $276,883 to $600,340. |
We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we continue to grow and expand geographically. To execute on our plan to establish multiple locations in strategic patient-dense areas, we will need to lease additional space. For instance, in 2018, we extended our lease for our first micro-fulfillment site in Mountain View for an additional 3-year period and entered into a 5-year lease in San Jose, California and a 3-year lease for additional space in Mountain View to establish micro-fulfillment centers. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we entered into additional leases for space in Santa Ana and Burlingame, California. In early 2019, we entered into an additional 5-year lease in Mountain View for a specialty pharmacy operation, and a 5-year lease in Irvine, California to replace the location in Santa Ana that proved unsuitable for our operations and where the lease was cancelled after several months with loss of the $50,000 security deposit.
Sales and marketing expenses grew 356.1% from $118,307 in 2017 to $539,623 in 2018 as the company increased marketing efforts to raise awareness among physicians, health facilities and consumers, including the recruiting and hiring of 2 new sales representatives in 2018, and marketing to prospective investors for the 2018 Regulation A Offering. The company used a portion of the net proceeds of the 2018 Regulation A Offering on marketing, including advertising and hiring sales representatives, to drive further sales. The company continues to invest in sales and marketing, including direct-to-consumer marketing, which will result in a significant increase in these costs in future periods.
Research and development expenses increased from $2,518 in 2017 to $266,140 in 2018. The company used a significant portion of the net proceeds of the 2018 Regulation A Offering on developing a proprietary pharmacy management system, which will require ongoing research and development costs to maintain and further develop.
Other expenses consist of interest expense, which amounted to $121,308 in 2018, compared to $76,497 in 2017, as the company accrued or paid interest on outstanding convertible securities and inventory financing. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources – Indebtedness.”
As a result of the foregoing factors, the company’s net loss was $3,000,901 in 2018, a 174.6% increase from a net loss of $1,092,881 in 2017.
| 35 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2018, the company’s cash and equivalents was $4,253,065. To date, the company has not made any profits and is still a “development stage company.” The company has recorded losses from the time of its inception in the total amount of $4,963,557.
In accordance with ASU No. 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (subtopic 205-40), our management evaluates whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the audited financial statements are issued. We have incurred substantial losses since our inception and we expect to continue to incur operating losses in the near-term. We expect that we will need to raise additional capital to meet anticipated cash requirements for the 24-month period following the filing date of this Offering Circular. In addition, we regularly consider fundraising opportunities and will determine the timing, nature and amount of financings based upon various factors, including market conditions and our operating plans. As we have done historically, we may again in the future elect to finance operations by selling equity or debt securities or borrowing money. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our common and preferred stock. If additional funding is required, we cannot assure you that additional funds will be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, if at all, or that we will generate sufficient cash from operations to adequately fund our operating needs. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate sufficient cash from operations to adequately fund our operations, we will need to curtail planned activities to reduce or defer costs, including executive salaries. Doing so will likely have an unfavorable effect on our ability to execute on our business plan, and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and future prospects.
2018 Regulation A Offering; Issuance of Series A Preferred Stock
On March 30, 2018, the company commenced the 2018 Regulation A Offering. In the 2018 Regulation A Offering, the company offered to sell up to 3,500,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, convertible into shares of Common Stock, at a price of $2.00 per share. The company completed the 2018 Regulation A Offering in September 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the company issued 3,499,878 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the 2018 Regulation A Offering, which provided net cash proceeds after total offering expenses and commissions of $6,352,845. In conjunction with this offering, the company issued 163,451 shares of Series A Preferred Stock valued at $326,900, to SI Securities, LLC, its sole and exclusive placement agent in connection with the 2018 Regulation A Offering, in addition to offering expenses and commissions. The company used a portion of the net proceeds to hire additional sales personnel, purchase additional equipment and furnishings for its new fulfillment centers, pay security deposits in connection with the 3 new leases executed in 2018 and develop the next phase of its proprietary software.
The company held its first closing in connection with the 2018 Regulation A Offering on April 24, 2018, in which it received gross proceeds in excess of $1 million. The initial closing of the 2018 Regulation A Offering constituted a qualified financing for purposes of the SAFE securities, the KISS agreements and the Crowd Notes, all of which were converted into shares of the company’s Series A Preferred Stock at that date. Holders of these convertible securities signed a Series A Conversion Agreement, which granted certain rights to those holders, including a ROFR. See “Description of Capital Stock – Series A Preferred Stock.”
Issuances of SAFE and KISS securities and Crowd Notes
Between July 2015 and November 2016, the company entered into simple agreements for future equity (“SAFE securities”) with investors, including Cary Breese and Sumeet Sheokand, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, for total proceeds of $1,027,500. During 2017 and 2018, the company issued additional SAFE securities in the principal amount of $207,460 and $595,000, respectively. The SAFE securities did not bear interest and had no maturity date. The proceeds of this offering were used for general business purposes.
| 36 |
In 2016, the company entered into KISS agreements (Keep it Simple Security) with investors for total proceeds of $50,000. In 2017 and 2018, the company issued additional KISS securities for total proceeds of $939,819 and $485,000, respectively. The instruments were to mature 24 months after issuance and bore 5% interest per annum. Each of these offerings were made in reliance on Regulation D under the Securities Act. The proceeds were used for general business purposes.
On March 11, 2017, the company issued $209,230 in Crowd Notes pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding and Regulation D under the Securities Act (the “crowdfunding offering”). The Crowd Notes had no maturity date and bore 5% interest per annum. In connection with the crowdfunding offering, which was conducted on a portal affiliated with SI Securities, LLC, the company issued to SI Securities, LLC an additional $39,412 in Crowd Notes. This $39,412 in Crowd Notes represented a combination of the fees due to SI Securities, LLC as compensation for the crowdfunding offering and a previous offering conducted under Regulation D, for which SI Securities, LLC was issued warrants that were voided prior to the crowdfunding offering, with the understanding that the fees would be combined and paid in total as Crowd Notes. The proceeds were used for general business purposes.
On April 24, 2018, the company held its first closing in connection with the 2018 Regulation A Offering in which it received gross proceeds in excess of $1 million. The initial closing of the 2018 Regulation A Offering constituted a qualified financing for purposes of the SAFE securities, the KISS agreements and the Crowd Notes, all of which were converted into a total of 5,178,301 shares of the company’s Series A Preferred Stock at that date. Holders of these convertible securities signed a Series A Conversion Agreement, which granted certain rights to those holders, including a ROFR. See “Description of Capital Stock – Series A Preferred Stock.”
In August and September 2019, the company sold SAFE securities in a private placement conducted under Regulation D to accredited investors for total proceeds of $625,000. The SAFE securities do not bear interest and have no maturity date. As described below under “Description of Capital Stock,” the SAFE securities contain a conversion provision that will be triggered by this offering.
Indebtedness
On December 21, 2016, the company entered into an inventory financing arrangement of $62,100 with Kabbage, an inventory financier. The loan was secured by all assets of the company, bore an interest rate of 24.04% per annum, and was payable over six months for a total repayment of $66,447. The loan was paid in full in June 2017. In August and December 2017, the company entered into additional inventory financing arrangements with Kabbage for a total of $88,300, which bore interest at a rate of approximately 24% per annum. The inventory financing loan was paid in full in 2018.
In April 2018, the company extended the operating lease agreement for its original micro-fulfilment center in Mountain View, California for an additional 3 years. In connection with entering into the extension and as security deposit for the landlord, the company secured an irrevocable letter of credit with Silicon Valley Bank for $60,000 to the benefit of the landlord. To establish this facility, the Company placed $60,000 in a deposit account with Silicon Valley Bank. At December 31, 2018, the facility has not been drawn down and the company remains current with its lease payments.
The company currently has no material commitments for capital expenditures. The company maintains inventory used in the normal course of business, and had $446,325 of inventory on hand as of December 31, 2018.
Trend Information
Margin trends
The company has several initiatives underway to increase gross margins and improve operating margins, as follows:
| · | Pharmacy Management System – The company historically utilized an “off-the-shelf” industry software system to manage pharmacy operations. Management and our technology team have analyzed several areas of inefficiencies in industry pharmacy management systems that cause higher than necessary labor costs for filling prescriptions. With the net proceeds from this offering, the company intends to continue developing what it believes is a next-generation, proprietary pharmacy management system, which it expects over time will significantly reduce labor costs per prescription order while providing substantial improvements in customer service. |
| 37 |
|
· |
AI-Assisted Customer Chat Bot – The company is developing a proprietary system to provide its customer service agents a rapid, precise and effective response to customers via text or app notification. The system is based on artificial intelligent algorithms and natural language processing that accurately interprets pharmacy customer questions and automatically pulls critical information from the patient’s file. The information is presented to the customer service agent in in a variety of natural-language consistent responses that can be sent to the customer with a simple click. | |
· | Optimized Robotic Dispensing – The company has more than a year of experience with a robotic dispensing system, the usage of which is currently below capacity. As order volume grows and the company further enhances its own proprietary pharmacy management system, we believe there is an opportunity to increase the efficiency and utility of the robot to reduce labor costs per order. | |
| · | Pharmacy Refill Process Optimization – The company is developing proprietary algorithms to opportunistically process refills in advance of customary refill date, based on geographic location, in order to optimize delivery routing and reduce delivery costs per order. See “The Company’s Business – Technology — Delivery Logistics Layer and Opportunistic Refill Processing.” | |
| · | Reduced Delivery Expense per Order – As the company increases revenue and customer volume per geography, the customer density increases and the run time per delivery is reduced, increasing the number of orders delivered per driver-hour and reducing the delivery cost per order. In addition, the company is developing algorithms to triage new customer requests and upcoming, scheduled refills based on their location to further optimize delivery route efficiency | |
| · | Wholesale Volume Discounts – Wholesale pharmaceutical suppliers offer discounts for increasing volume of purchases and longer-term contracts. As we grow our business, management anticipates being able to purchase products at a reduced cost. | |
| · | Increased OTC sales – Many OTC products on average have a larger gross margin than the average prescription medication. Management intends to increase OTC as a percentage of sales over time, increasing average revenue per order (“basket size”) as well as increasing the overall gross margin for the company. | |
| · | Medication Synchronization – Many customers have multiple prescription medications that refill monthly, but often at times such that the refill dates fall on different days of the month causing multiple trips to the same customer’s house per month. By synchronizing medications, with the customer’s approval, to refill on the same day of the month, delivery efficiency can be enhanced, reducing delivery costs per order. |
Order trends
The company seeks to continually grow the number of orders and its revenues by focusing on two initiatives:
| · | Increase sales and marketing through a combination of direct consumer advertising and sales representatives, which has generated steady growth from inception in the number of prescriptions, the number of referring physicians, and in revenues. A portion of the net proceeds of the 2019 Regulation A Offering will continue to be allocated to dramatically expand sales and marketing efforts. | |
| · | The company intends to add new micro-fulfilment centers throughout the geographic regions in which it intends to serve. Micro-fulfilment centers are established in a particular geographic area for one of two reasons: 1) to establish the NowRx service to a new customer base that was previously not being served, or 2) to create more efficient delivery routes by separating an existing service area into multiple, smaller delivery areas. The company typically establishes a single location to serve a large, new geographic area, and then over time (1-5 years) adds additional micro-fulfilment centers strategically located within that same geographic area to optimize delivery routing. The company anticipates that raising the maximum amount sought in this offering will permit it to establish as many as 9 new locations, which we plan to accomplish by year-end 2020. We anticipate that as the company expands into new geographies it will experience growth rates and other business performance metrics equal to or better than those achieved at the company’s initial service area. Even if we are able to meet our projected timeline for establishing new geographies, these operations may not generate the anticipated growth in customers, orders and revenues at the pace that we project. |
| 38 |
Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements
If we become a public reporting company in the future, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company”, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, including but not limited to:
| ● | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; | |
| ● | taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards; | |
| ● | being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and | |
| ● | being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
If we become a public reporting company in the future, we expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31.
If we do not become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act for any reason, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semiannual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of the issuer’s fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of the issuer’s fiscal year.
In either case, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, and our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

General
The company is offering shares of Series B Preferred Stock in this offering. The Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of the Common Stock of the company at the discretion of each investor, or automatically upon the occurrence of certain events, like an initial public offering. The company is therefore qualifying up to 5,800,969 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, convertible into an additional 5,800,969 shares of Common Stock, under the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.
The following description summarizes the most important terms of the company’s capital stock.

The authorized capital stock of the company consists of Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share and Preferred Stock. Immediately prior to the initial closing of this offering, the company will amend its amended certificate of incorporation to authorize additional shares of both Common and Preferred Stock. The form of second amended and restated certificate of incorporation setting forth the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock is filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part. Upon the filing of the amendment, the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock of NowRx will be 30,000,000 and the total number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock will be 18,000,000, of which 8,853,173 will be designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 6,500,000 will be designated as Series B Preferred Stock.

Dividend Rights
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and on a pari passu basis with holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, as detailed in the company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The company has never declared or paid cash dividends on any of its capital stock and currently does not anticipate paying any cash dividends after this offering or in the foreseeable future.
Liquidation Rights
In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities of the company and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of all shares of the outstanding Preferred Stock.
| 44 |
Rights and Preferences
Holders of the company's Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion, or other rights, and there are no redemptive or sinking fund provisions applicable to the company's Common Stock.
Series B Preferred Stock
Voting Rights
Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock could be converted. Fractional votes will not be permitted and if the conversion results in a fractional share, it will be disregarded. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors, as a single class with the holders of Common Stock, on an as converted to Common Stock basis. The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to certain protective provisions that require the company to obtain the written consent or affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock prior to effecting certain corporate actions. See “—Preferred Stock Protective Provisions.”
Dividend Rights
Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and on a pari passu basis with holders of the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock. The company has never declared or paid cash dividends on any of its capital stock and currently does not anticipate paying any cash dividends after this offering or in the foreseeable future.
Conversion Rights
Shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the company’s Common Stock at the then-applicable conversion rate. Initially, the conversion rate for each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be one share of Common Stock per share of Series B Preferred Stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, reverse stock splits or the issuance of a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock.
Additionally, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering, registered under the Securities Act or upon the affirmative election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a single class and on an as-converted basis. The shares will convert in the same manner as a voluntary conversion.
Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or certain other events (each a “Deemed Liquidation Event”) such as the sale or merger of the company, as further set forth in the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, all holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference that is senior to holders of the Common Stock and pari passu with the holders of Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will receive a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (a) an amount for each share equal to the Original Issue Price for such share, adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like (the “liquidation preference”) plus any declared but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares or (b) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series B Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event. Initially, the liquidation preferences for each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be $3.4477 (the “Original Issue Price”).
If, upon such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets (or the consideration received in a transaction) that are distributable to the holders of Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amount of their respective liquidation preference, then all of such funds will be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
| 45 |
After the payment of the full liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the company legally available for distribution (or the consideration received in a transaction), if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder.
Drag Along Rights
The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering contains a “drag-along provision” related to the sale of the company. Investors who purchase Series B Preferred Stock (or who hold Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock) agree that, if the board of directors and majority holders of other classes of stock vote in favor of a sale of the company, then such holders of Series B Preferred Stock (or Common Stock, as the case may be) will vote in favor of the transaction if such vote is solicited, refrain from exercising dissenters’ rights with respect to such sale of the company and deliver any documentation or take other actions reasonably requested by the company or the other holders in connection with the sale. The drag-along provision further states that if the consideration to be paid in such a sale of the company includes any securities, the receipt of which by the holder would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (ii) the provision to the holder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, the company may instead cause to be paid to the holder an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the company) of the securities that the holder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the securities. Transferees of investors in this offering must agree to the terms of the drag-along provision as a condition to any transfer.
Information Rights
The company also agrees in the subscription agreement to grant certain information rights to investors in this offering who invest $50,000 or more, subject to certain exceptions. For example, the company agrees to provide to such investors quarterly unaudited financial statements for each fiscal quarter of the company (except the last quarter of the company’s fiscal year), in addition to the financial information it is required to make publicly available under applicable securities laws and regulations.
Additional Rights and Participation Rights
MFN Rights. The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering grants investors and their transferees “most favored nation” participation rights in connection with the company’s next preferred equity offering. If in its next preferred equity financing after the date that an investor executes the subscription agreement (the “Next Financing”) the company issues securities that (a) have rights, preferences or privileges that are more favorable than the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, such as price-based anti-dilution protection, or (b) provide all such future investors in the Next Financing contractual terms such as registration rights, the company agrees to provide substantially equivalent rights to the investor with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock (with appropriate adjustment for economic terms or other contractual rights), through the investor’s proxy, if applicable, subject to the investor’s execution of any documents, including, if applicable, investor rights, co-sale, voting, and other agreements, executed by the investors purchasing securities in the Next Financing (the “Next Financing Documents”), provided that certain rights may be reserved for investors with a minimum amount of investment in the Next Financing. Upon the execution and delivery of the Next Financing Documents, the subscription agreement (excluding any then-existing and outstanding obligations) will be automatically amended and restated by and into the Next Financing Documents and will be terminated and of no further force or effect. As a result, the rights of investors who participate in any Next Financing will instead be governed by the Next Financing Documents.
| 46 |
Right of First Refusal. In the subscription agreement, the company also grants investors who invest $250,000 or more in this offering participation rights. Investors will have the right of first refusal to purchase the investor’s Pro Rata Share of any New Securities (each as defined below) that the company may issue in the Next Financing. The investor will have no right to purchase any New Securities if the investor cannot demonstrate to the company’s reasonable satisfaction that the investor is at the time of the proposed issuance of New Securities eligible to purchase such New Securities under applicable securities laws. An investor’s “Pro Rata Share” means the ratio of (i) the number of shares of the company’s Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock owned by the investor, to (ii) that number of shares of the company’s capital stock equal to the sum of (A) all shares of the company’s capital stock (on an as-converted basis) issued and outstanding, assuming exercise or conversion of all options, warrants and other convertible securities and promissory notes, and (B) all shares of the company’s capital stock reserved and available for future grant under any equity incentive or similar plan.
“New Securities” means any shares of the company’s preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) to be issued in the Next Financing. “New Securities” does not include: (i) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; (ii) Common Stock or preferred stock issued in any offering concurrent with the offering in which the investor is investing; (iii) shares of Common Stock or preferred stock issuable upon exercise of any options, warrants, or rights to purchase any securities of the company outstanding as of the date the Offering Statement is qualified by the Commission and any securities issuable upon the conversion thereof; (iv) shares of Common Stock or preferred stock issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend or recapitalization; (v) shares of Common Stock (or options, warrants or rights therefor) granted or issued after the date the Offering Statement is qualified by the Commission to employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants or advisers to, the company or any subsidiary of the company pursuant to incentive agreements, stock purchase or stock option plans, stock bonuses or awards, warrants, contracts or other arrangements that are approved by the board of directors; (vi) shares of the company’s Series B Preferred Stock issued in this offering; (vii) any other shares of Common Stock or preferred stock (and/or options or warrants therefor) issued or issuable primarily for other than equity financing purposes and approved by the board of directors; (viii) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by the company to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act; and (ix) any other shares of the company’s capital stock, the issuance of which is specifically excluded by approval of the board of directors.
Series A Preferred Stock
Voting Rights
Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock could be converted. Fractional votes will not be permitted and if the conversion results in a fractional share, it will be disregarded. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors, as a single class with the holders of Common Stock, on an as converted to Common Stock basis.
Dividend Rights
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and on a pari passu basis with holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock. The company has never declared or paid cash dividends on any of its capital stock and currently does not anticipate paying any cash dividends after this offering or in the foreseeable future.
Conversion Rights
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the company’s Common Stock at the then-applicable conversion rate. Initially, the conversion rate for the Series A Preferred Stock is one share of Common Stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, reverse stock splits or the issuance of a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock.
| 47 |
Additionally, each share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering, registered under the Securities Act or upon the affirmative election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a single class and on an as-converted basis. The shares will convert in the same manner as a voluntary conversion.
Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or certain other events (each a “Deemed Liquidation Event”) such as the sale or merger of the company, as further set forth in the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, all holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference that is senior to holders of the Common Stock and pari passu with the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will receive a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (a) an amount for each share equal to the Original Issue Price for such share, adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like (the “liquidation preference”) plus any declared but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares or (b) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event. Initially, the liquidation preferences for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock was $2.00 per share (the “Series A Original Issue Price”).
If, upon such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets (or the consideration received in a transaction) that are distributable to the holders of Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amount of their respective liquidation preference, then all of such funds will be distributed ratably among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be entitled to receive.
After the payment of the full liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the company legally available for distribution (or the consideration received in a transaction), if any, will be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by each such holder.
Drag Along Right
The subscription agreement that investors executed in connection with the 2018 Regulation A Offering and the Series A Conversion Agreement each contained a “drag-along provision” related to the sale of the company. Investors who purchased Series A Preferred Stock (or who hold Common Stock issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock) agreed that, if the board of directors and majority holders of other classes of stock vote in favor of a sale of the company, then such holders of Series A Preferred Stock (or Common Stock, as the case may be) will vote in favor of the transaction if such vote is solicited, refrain from exercising dissenters’ rights with respect to such sale of the company and deliver any documentation or take other actions reasonably requested by the company or the other holders in connection with the sale. The drag-along provision further stated that if the consideration to be paid in such a sale of the company includes any securities, the receipt of which by the holder would require under applicable law (i) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (ii) the provision to the holder of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, the company may instead cause to be paid to the holder an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the company) of the securities that the holder would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the securities. Transferees of investors in the 2018 Regulation A Offering must agree to the terms of the drag-along provision as a condition to transfer.
| 48 |
Information Rights
The company also agreed in the subscription agreement for the 2018 Regulation A Offering and the Series A Conversion Agreement to grant certain information rights to investors in that offering, subject to certain exceptions. For example, the company agreed to provide to investors quarterly unaudited financial statements for each fiscal quarter of the company (except the last quarter of the company’s fiscal year), in addition to the financial information it is required to make publicly available under applicable securities laws and regulations.
Additional Rights and Participation Rights
MFN Rights. The company granted “most favored nation” participation rights in connection with the company’s next preferred equity offering to all investors in the 2018 Regulation Offering granted investors and their transferees and to accredited investors who executed the Series A Conversion Agreement. If in its next preferred equity financing after the date that an investor executed the subscription agreement (the “Next Financing”) the company issues securities that (a) have rights, preferences or privileges that are more favorable than the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, such as price-based anti-dilution protection, or (b) provide all such future investors in the Next Financing contractual terms such as registration rights, the company agrees to provide substantially equivalent rights to the investor with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock (with appropriate adjustment for economic terms or other contractual rights), through the investor’s proxy, if applicable, subject to the investor’s execution of any documents, including, if applicable, investor rights, co-sale, voting, and other agreements, executed by the investors purchasing securities in the Next Financing (the “Next Financing Documents”), provided that certain rights may be reserved for investors with a minimum amount of investment in the Next Financing. We refer to these rights as most-favored nation or “MFN Rights.” Upon the execution and delivery of the Next Financing Documents, the subscription agreement (excluding any then-existing and outstanding obligations) will be automatically amended and restated by and into the Next Financing Documents and will be terminated and of no further force or effect. As a result, the rights of investors in the 2018 Regulation A Offering who participate in any Next Financing will instead be governed by the Next Financing Documents. This offering does not trigger the MFN Rights.
Right of First Refusal. The company also granted investors in the 2018 Regulation A Offering and holders of convertible securities who executed the Series A Conversion Agreement participation rights. ROFR Investors have a ROFR to purchase the investor’s Pro Rata Share of any New Securities (each as defined below) that the company may issue in the Next Financing. This offering triggers the ROFR and the company will send notices to ROFR Investors on the date that this offering commences. An investor’s “Pro Rata Share” means the ratio of (i) the number of shares of the company’s Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock owned by the investor, to (ii) that number of shares of the company’s capital stock equal to the sum of (A) all shares of the company’s capital stock (on an as-converted basis) issued and outstanding, assuming exercise or conversion of all options, warrants and other convertible securities and promissory notes, and (B) all shares of the company’s capital stock reserved and available for future grant under any equity incentive or similar plan.
“New Securities” is defined (a) in the subscription agreement for the 2018 Regulation A Offering as any shares of the company’s preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) and, (b) in the Series A Conversion Agreement as Common Stock or Preferred Stock to be issued in the Next Financing. “New Securities” does not include: (i) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; (ii) Series A Preferred Stock issued under the Series A Conversion Agreement; (iii) Common Stock or preferred stock issued in any offering concurrent with the offering in which the investor is investing; (iv) shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of any options, warrants, or rights to purchase any securities of the company outstanding (A) in the case of the subscription agreement, as of the date the Offering Statement was qualified by the Commission and any securities issuable upon the conversion thereof or (B) in the case of the Series A Conversion Agreement, as of the date of such agreement; (v) shares of Common Stock or preferred stock issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend or recapitalization; (vi) shares of Common Stock (or options, warrants or rights therefor) granted or issued after the date the offering statement for the 2018 Regulation A Offering is qualified by the Commission to employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants or advisers to, the company or any subsidiary of the company pursuant to incentive agreements, stock purchase or stock option plans, stock bonuses or awards, warrants, contracts or other arrangements that are approved by the board of directors; (vii) Series A Preferred Stock issued in the 2018 Regulation A Offering; (viii) any other shares of Common Stock or preferred stock (and/or options or warrants therefor) issued or issuable primarily for other than equity financing purposes and approved by the board of directors; (ix) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by the company to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act; and (x) any other shares of the company’s capital stock, the issuance of which is specifically excluded by approval of the board of directors.
| 49 |
The terms of the ROFR require the company to send the ROFR Investors, or their proxies, if applicable, a notice describing the type of New Securities and the price and the general terms upon which it proposes to issue the New Securities. Under the terms of the ROFR, a ROFR Investor has ten (10) days from the date of notice, to agree to purchase a quantity of New Securities, up to their Pro Rata Share. If a ROFR Investor fails to exercise in full the ROFR within the 10-day period, then the company has one hundred eighty (180) days after that to sell the New Securities with respect to which the ROFR Investor’s ROFR was not exercised. Under the terms of the ROFR, if the company has not issued and sold the minimum amount of New Securities to be sold in the Next Financing within the 180-day period, then the company will not issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering those New Securities to ROFR Investors in accordance with the terms of the subscription agreement for the 2018 Regulation A Offering and the Series A Conversion Agreement.
Preferred Stock Protective Provisions
The Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to protective provisions at the class and series level. We refer to these provisions as the “Preferred Stock Protective Provisions.”
Preferred Stock Class Provisions
For so long as at least 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, approval of a majority of the shares Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock shall be required to adversely change rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, respectively. In addition, approval of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, shall be required to (i) authorize or create any new class or series of capital stock having rights, powers, or privileges, that are senior to or on a parity with any series of Preferred Stock; (ii) declare or pay any dividend; (iii) redeem or repurchase any shares (other than pursuant to employee or consultant agreements); (iv) liquidate or dissolve the company, including any sale of the company or substantially all of its assets; (v) increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock, or any series of Preferred Stock, or Common Stock; or (vi) alter, waive or change the rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Stock, or any series of Preferred Stock.
Preferred Stock Series Provisions
Each of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock have series level protective provisions. For so long as at least 500,000 shares of a series are outstanding, approval of a majority of the shares of the series shall be required to (i) increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of the series or (ii) alter, waive or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the series so as to affect them adversely but not so affect the entire class of Preferred Stock.
Voting Procedure
In the event that less than the required majority of the applicable then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock cast a vote on any of the matters subject to Preferred Stock Protective Provisions, following a fourteen (14) day notice period (or an additional fourteen (14) day extension of such voting period), any unvoted shares shall be voted via proxy by the President of the company, either for or against, in the same proportion as the votes that have been received prior to the expiration of the notice period.
Restrictions on Transfer
The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering contains a “market stand-off” provision in the event of a proposed public offering. During the period, not to exceed 180 days, commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the initial public offering (“IPO”) of the company and ending on the date specified by the company and the managing underwriter of the IPO, investors agree not to transfer any shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (which includes the Series B Preferred Stock) without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter. The market stand-off will not apply if the investor sells any shares in the IPO or if all of the officers, directors and greater than 1% stockholders of the company fail to enter into similar market stand-off or lock-up agreements in connection with the IPO. Investors agree to execute any agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters of the IPO to effect the market stand-off.
SAFE Securities
In August and September 2019, the company issued a series of simple agreements for future equity (“SAFE securities”) for total proceeds of $625,000. The SAFE securities do not bear interest, and have no maturity date. The SAFE securities convert upon the occurrence of an equity financing into a number of shares of preferred stock equal to the amount purchased by a holder divided by the price per share calculated at a discount to the pricing in the triggering equity financing. Of these SAFE agreements, agreements in the amount of $150,000 have conversion terms stipulating conversion pricing at a 50% discount (or $1.72 per share); agreements in the amount of $150,000 have conversion terms stipulating conversion pricing at a 80% discount (or $2.76 per share); and agreements in the amount of $325,000 have conversion terms stipulating conversion pricing at a 85% discount (or $2.93 per share).The initial closing of this offering will trigger the conversion provision of the SAFE securities. Upon the conversion, the company will retire the SAFE securities.

Right of First Refusal to Series A Preferred Stock Investors
On the date this offering commences, the company will send a notice to the ROFR Investors. The ROFR Investors collectively have a right of first refusal to purchase up to 2,842,525 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “ROFR Maximum”) in this offering in order to maintain their pro rata ownership of the company’s voting stock, assuming that the maximum of 5,800,969 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are sold in this offering. ROFR Investors will have until the ROFR Cutoff Date, which is 10 days after the commencement of this offering, to indicate their intention and to subscribe to purchase the shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the ROFR. Investors exercising their ROFR may elect to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to the ROFR Maximum, plus additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock that may be available in this offering, on a first-come, first-served basis. In the event that this offering is fully subscribed by the ROFR Cutoff Date, the company will allocate up to the first 2,842,525 shares of Series B Preferred Stock available in this offering to those investors who exercise their ROFR then allocate the remaining shares on a first-come, first-served basis to new investors. If ROFR Investors do not exercise their rights for all of the shares subject to the ROFR, the company has 180 days from the ROFR Cutoff Date, or _____, 2020, to sell the shares that were not taken up by those investors and meet the minimum offering amount for this offering. If the company fails to meet the minimum offering amount within that 180-day period, it must again offer the investors a right to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock. See “Description of Capital Stock – Series A Preferred Stock.”
ROFR Investors may also elect to purchase more or fewer shares of Series B Preferred Stock in this offering, subject to the minimum purchase requirements of $1,000 for shares of Series B Preferred Stock and subject to the maximum allocation if the offering becomes fully subscribed before the ROFR Cutoff Date, as described above. ROFR Investors will need to complete the online subscription process described below.
Investors’ Tender of Funds
After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Commission, the company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Series B Preferred Stock. The company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their securities on the same date), provided that the minimum offering amount for this offering has been met. Investors may subscribe by tendering funds via wire transfer, debit card or ACH only (checks will not be accepted) to the escrow account to be setup by the Escrow Agent. Tendered funds will remain in escrow until both the minimum offering amount has been reached and a closing has occurred. However, in the event the company has not sold the minimum amount of shares by _________, 2020, or sooner terminated the offering, any money tendered by potential investors will be promptly returned by the Escrow Agent. Upon closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to the company for its use.
In order to invest, investors, including ROFR Investors, will be required to subscribe to the offering via the Online Platform and agree to the terms of the offering, subscription agreement, and any other relevant exhibit attached thereto. All securities issuable as a result of the exercise of a ROFR will be issued to ROFR Investors in the initial closing of this offering, after the minimum offering amount has been met. In the event that the company does not sell the maximum number of shares in this offering, ROFR Investors who exercised their ROFR will hold shares representing a higher percentage of the company’s voting stock than before this offering.
In the event that it takes some time for the company to raise funds in this offering, the company will rely on income from sales, funds raised in any offerings from accredited investors.
Jury Trial Waiver
The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering provides that subscribers waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the agreement, including any claim under federal securities laws. By signing the subscription agreement an investor will warrant that the investor has reviewed this waiver with the investor’s legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives his or her jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel. If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law. In addition, by agreeing to the provision, subscribers will not be deemed to have waived the company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Forum Selection Provision
The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against the company based on the agreement to be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the agreement. Although we believe the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting our litigation costs, to the extent it is enforceable, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. The company has adopted the provision to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows its officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to any particular forum so they may continue to focus on operations of the company. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Investors will not be deemed to have waived the company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS
NowRx, Inc. (the “Company”), is a corporation organized February 19, 2015 under the laws of Delaware. The Company is an on-demand pharmacy that fulfills and delivers customer prescriptions using a web and application-based platform.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The Company adopted the calendar year as its basis of reporting.
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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for its planned full-scale operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties; including failing to secure funding to continue to operationalize the Company’s plans or failing to profitably operate the business.
Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s cash balances exceeded federally insured limits by $4,003,065 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, $60,000 of the cash balance is restricted due to collateral requirements for a letter of credit (LOC) in the same amount used in lieu of a security deposit for one of the Company’s locations.
Accounts Receivable
The Company assesses its receivables based on historical loss patterns, aging of the receivables, and assessments of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The Company also considers any changes to the financial condition of its customers and any other external market factors that could impact the collectability of the receivables in the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has recorded an allowance against its account receivables balances of $15,372 and $10,900 for December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and accounted for using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The inventory balances of $446,325 and $239,768 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, consisted of pharmaceuticals and related products. The Company records impairment and obsolescence reserves against its inventory balances as deemed necessary. The Company has recorded inventory shrinkage of $121,429 and $0 for December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost when purchased. Depreciation is recorded for property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets, which range from 5-15 years. The Company reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable. Depreciation charges on property and equipment totaled $30,945 and $11,912 for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company’s property and equipment consisted of the following as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:

| Property and equipment, net | $ | 383,553 | $ | 165,927 | ||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets approximate their fair value. Stock options issued during 2018 were measured using level three inputs.

NOWRX, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence exists of an arrangement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions under which products or services will be provided; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been provided; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Cost of goods sold includes product costs, while delivery related costs are included in general and administrative costs in the statement of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the option vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options.
The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505, Equity. The fair value of the option issued or committed to be issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of the Company’s common stock or stock award on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to stock-based compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total expense related to research and development was $266,140 and $2,518 for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and include advertising costs related to the Series A Preferred Stock offering. Total expense related to sales and marketing was $539,623 and $118,307 for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is unlikely that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. The Company has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions.
The Company accounts for income taxes with the recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current period and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. Measurement of deferred income items is based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized in the immediate future. The Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $5,414,830 and $1,827,710 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company pays Federal and California income taxes at rates of approximately 21% and 8.8%, respectively, and has used an effective blended rate of 28% to derive net tax assets of $1,534,220 and $532,487 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, resulting from its net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary book to tax differences. Due to uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in the future to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards before they begin to expire in 2035, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax asset to zero.
The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns. All previous tax returns have been filed. All tax periods since inception remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that affected the Company, including a reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among others. The Company is required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as determining the transition tax, remeasuring deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company used the new tax rates in calculating its 2018 and 2017 deferred tax assets, resulting in a decrease of its December 31, 2017 net deferred tax assets of $199,576.
Net Earnings or Loss per Share
Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net earnings or loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each year.

NOTE 3: GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is a business that has not yet generated profits, has sustained net losses of $3,000,901 and $1,092,881 during the periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $4,963,557 as of December 31, 2018.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months following the date the financial statements were available to be issued is dependent upon its ability to produce revenues and/or obtain financing sufficient to meet current and future obligations and deploy such to produce profitable operating results. Management has evaluated these conditions and plans to generate revenues and raise capital as needed to satisfy its capital needs. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities.
NOTE 4: FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Short-Term Notes Payable
On December 21, 2016, the Company entered into promissory notes totaling $70,000 with five individuals. All notes bear 12% interest, mature on April 30, 2017, and are due in full with accrued interest at maturity. These notes are collateralized by receivables, cash accounts, inventories, and all related proceeds. The notes are immediately callable in the event of (a) an equity financing of at least $1 million, or (b) insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings. The loans were repaid in full during the period ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, principal of $0 and accrued interest of $0 were outstanding, all respectively.
KISS Agreements
On December 19, 2016, the Company entered into a KISS agreement (Keep it Simple Security) with a third party for $50,000. The instrument matures in 24 months and bears 5% interest per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued additional KISS notes for total principal of $979,819, maturing after terms of 24 months, and bearing interest at 5% per annum. Of that amount, $40,000 were converted to KISS agreements from previously outstanding SAFE agreements, while the remaining $939,819 were cash investments. During the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued $485,000 additional KISS notes, maturing after terms of 24 months and bearing interest at 5% per annum.
If and upon a qualified financing where the Company sells preferred stock of $1,000,000 or greater, the instruments’ face value along with accrued interest will automatically convert to preferred stock at a discount of 20% to the pricing in the triggering round or the price per share implied by a pre-money valuation of $6,000,000 or $10,000,000 (varies by agreement issuance date) on the Company’s fully diluted capitalization. Such a conversion includes a “shadow series” provision, which limits the holder’s liquidation preference to the discounted purchase price.
If and upon a corporate transaction, the KISS becomes convertible into the number of shares determined by dividing the then outstanding principal and interest by the price per share implied by a pre-money valuation of $6,000,000 or $10,000,000 (varies by agreement issuance date) on the Company’s fully diluted capitalization, or is payable to the noteholder in the amount of two times the principal amount, at the noteholder’s election.
If at maturity neither of the aforementioned conversions have occurred, the noteholder may elect to convert the KISS and any unpaid accrued interest into the number of shares determined by dividing the then outstanding principal and interest by the price per share implied by a pre-money valuation of $6,000,000 or $10,000,000 (varies by agreement issuance date) on the Company’s fully diluted capitalization.
As of December 31, 2017, the then outstanding KISS agreements had not been converted and remained outstanding in the full principal amounts. The Company analyzed the note for beneficial conversion features, and concluded the conversion terms did not constitute beneficial conversion features.
During the period ended December 31, 2018, all KISS notes were converted into Series A Preferred Stock, as discussed at Note 5.
Loan placement fees of $50,144 were incurred in connection with the 2016-2017 issuances of these notes and were recorded as discounts to the notes. The Company amortized such fees to interest expense over a 24-month period, which is the Company’s estimate of when these notes will convert. The unamortized costs were charged to interest expense at the conversion date.

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, $0 and $1,029,819, of KISS notes were issued and outstanding, which are presented net of unamortized loan expenses of $0 and $31,340, for a carrying balance of $0 and $998,479, all respectively. Interest expense of $56,170 and $32,198 (inclusive of loan fee amortization) was recognized during the period ended December 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 on such notes, all of which was converted along with principal into Series A Preferred Stock, as discussed at Note 5.
SAFE Agreements
In 2016, 2017, and the period ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued simple agreements for future equity (SAFE Agreement) in exchange for cash investments of $622,500, $207,460, and $595,000, respectively. During 2017, $40,000 of SAFE agreements were converted to KISS agreements. The SAFE Agreements entitle the holder to convert the SAFE agreements into the Company’s preferred stock (this classification of stock has not yet been authorized or established). The terms provide for automatic conversion of the SAFE agreements’ purchase amounts into the Company’s preferred stock if and upon a qualified equity financing event, which is generally defined as a transaction or series of transactions involving the issuance of the Company’s preferred stock at a fixed pre-money valuation. The number of shares of preferred stock the SAFE agreement converts into is the Purchase Amount divided by the price per share determined by either: a) a $6,000,000 or $10,000,000 (dependent upon issuance date) pre-money valuation on the Company’s then outstanding capitalization (as further defined in the agreements), or b) a 20% discount to the share pricing in the triggering equity financing. $47,500 of the 2016 issuances contain an additional provision providing a future purchase right to additional purchases of preferred stock at the same terms and pricing as the SAFE conversions, which results in a potential increase to the aggregate purchase amount of $47,500.
In the case of a liquidation event (as defined in the SAFE agreement), the SAFE agreement is convertible into either: A) cash of the Purchase Amount; B) the number of shares determined by dividing the Purchase Amount by the Company’s then outstanding capitalization (as defined in the agreement).
The SAFE agreements provide holders with various additional protections, including preferences over unitholders in a dissolution event for payment of the Purchase Amount and anti-dilution protections. If the SAFE agreement converts into the Company’s preferred stock, it will have all the same rights and privileges of the preferred stock from the triggering financing, except that the liquidation preference will be equal to the Purchase Amount.
By year of end, December 31, 2018, all SAFE agreements were converted into Series A Preferred Stock, as discussed at Note 5.
Crowd Notes Payable
The Company conducted an offering of convertible securities (“Crowd Notes”) under Regulation CF during 2017, resulting in the issuance of $209,230 of Crowd Notes during the year ended December 31, 2017. As compensation on the offering to its broker, the Company issued an additional $39,412 of Crowd Notes during the period ended December 31, 2018. The Crowd Notes bear interest at 5%, compounded quarterly, and do not have a stated maturity date. The Crowd Notes are convertible into the Company’s stock upon a future qualified equity financing of $1,000,000 or greater, or upon a corporate transaction (as defined in the note agreements). The conversion price on the notes is the lesser of a 20% discount or the price per share implied by a $6,000,000 pre-money valuation on the Company’s fully diluted capitalization.

An additional $39,411 was incurred and recorded related to the aforementioned Crowd Note compensation provided to its broker in the offering for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company is amortizing such fees to interest expense over a 24-month period, which is the Company’s estimate of when these notes will convert. As the Crowd Notes converted into the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock during the period ended December 31, 2018, all unamortized loan fees were charged to interest expense during the period ended December 31, 2018.
As of December 31, 2017, $209,230 of Crowd Notes were issued and outstanding, which were presented net of unamortized loan expenses of $18,206, for a carrying balance of $191,024 as of December 31, 2017. Interest expense of $5,492 was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2017 on such notes, of which none was paid so the full amount remains on the balance sheet as accrued interest payable. Interest expense, inclusive of amortization of loan fees and broker compensation notes, of $59,660 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The Company measures employee stock-based awards at grant-date fair value and recognizes employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, and for stock options, the expected life of the option, and expected stock price volatility. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The expected life of stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” which is the midpoint between the vesting start date and the end of the contractual term, as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and employment duration for its stock options grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, the Company uses comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of options grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option. The estimation of the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.
The stock option issuances were valued using the using the following inputs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

The Company has significant concentrations in its account receivables, where approximately 30% and 80% of its accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were held with one pharmacy services administration organization (PSAO) payor. Should this insurance payor no longer be able to satisfy these statutory obligations to the Company, it would have a significant adverse effect to the Company.
Approximately 90% of the Company’s products are procured through a single supplier. Should this supplier no longer be willing or able to satisfy the Company’s product needs it could adversely affect the Company’s business.
NOTE 10: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes the previous revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605—Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC. The core principle within this ASU is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which deferred the effective date for ASU 2014-09 by one year to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, while providing the option to early adopt for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Transition methods under ASU 2014-09 must be through either (i) retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented, or (ii) retrospective application with a cumulative effect adjustment at the date of initial application. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this new standard on our financial reporting and disclosures, including but not limited to a review of accounting policies, internal controls and processes. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard and plans to implement this new standard effective January 1, 2019.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of this new standard on our financial reporting and disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The amendments in ASU 2016-09 simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The new guidance requires that excess tax benefits (which represent the excess of actual tax benefits receive at the date of vesting or settlement over the benefits recognized over the vesting period or upon issuance of share-based payments) be recorded in the income statement as a reduction of income or income taxes when the awards vest or are settled. The new guidance also requires excess tax benefits to be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. The new standard was implemented for these financial statements.

For a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, Company agrees that it shall provide SI Securities at least 30 days prior written notice of any proposed future offering of Securities made pursuant to Regulation A (the “Future Offering”), and therein shall provide SI Securities the opportunity to serve as Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with such Future Offering in accordance with the terms set forth in Exhibit A attached herein (the “Right of First Refusal”). The Company shall not be required to provide SI Securities with a Right of First Refusal if the Company exercised its right to terminate this Agreement “for cause”. For the avoidance of doubt, “for cause” termination shall include termination due to any material failure by SI Securities to provide the services contemplated herein. The Company will not be required to retain SI Securities and will not be bound to any fees if, within twelve (12) months of the Termination Date, if it decides to proceed with a capital raise under Regulation D solely from institutional and accredited investors, instead of through Regulation A. However, if SI Securities chooses not to serve as Company’s placement agent for a Future Offering, in its sole discretion, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.

(v) No materials provided by Company or posted to the Online Platform will contain (a) any misstatement of a material fact or omission of any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or any (b) exaggerated, unwarranted, promissory or unsubstantiated claims. Company shall promptly notify SI Securities if it discovers any such misstatement or inconsistency, or the omission of a material fact, in such materials, and promptly supplement or amend the materials and correct its statements whenever it is necessary to do so in order to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to ensure truthfulness, accuracy, and fairness in the presentation of the Offering.
(vi) Company shall supply backup verification for any material fact or claim made, as reasonably requested by SI Securities.
(vii) Company will protect and maintain all confidential information provided by SI Securities or SeedInvest to the Company.
(viii) During the term of this Agreement, Company will not engage any person or entity to perform services similar to those provided by SI Securities (including other online platforms) without the prior written consent of SI Securities.

EXHIBIT A
SI Securities, LLC – Regulation A Issuer Agreement
THIS EXHIBIT is entered into as of the Effective Date by and among Company and SI Securities regarding its Offering of Securities on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein (the “Exhibit”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit shall have the meaning set forth above. This Exhibit will only apply if the Company decides to proceed with an Offering under Regulation A and will not apply if it decides to proceed with a capital raise under Regulation D solely from institutional and accredited investors.
The Company hereby retains SI Securities as its exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering. SI Securities agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the Offering. SI Securities shall identify prospective investors (the “Prospects”) and Company shall make the Securities in the Offering available to respective Prospects. For the avoidance of doubt, Prospects include all existing investors of the Company who invested through the Online Platform and/or were identified by SI Securities. Company understands that SI Securities intends to use the Online Platform to facilitate the Offering upon satisfactory completion of SI Securities’ due diligence as determined in its sole discretion.
Company shall pay to SI Securities, in cash, an amount equal to 8.75% of the value of Securities purchased by Prospects in the Offering from the proceeds of the Offering (the “Compensation”) at each applicable closing (a “Closing”). SI Securities agrees to allow reasonable discounts or exceptions, in its sole discretion, to the Compensation for those Prospects (the “Engaged Prospects”) identified in Appendix I. Company acknowledges that SI Securities charges Prospects who make investments through the Online Platform a 2% non-refundable transaction processing fee, up to $300 (the “Transaction Fee”), and which Company is not responsible for. The Transaction Fee is broken out as follows: i) 50% is meant to cover the financial and administrative costs associated with the processing of payments via Wire, ACH, and Debit transfers; and ii) the remaining 50% is meant to cover the financial and administrative costs of the related and subsequent reconciliation of cash and securities in Prospects accounts.
SI Securities shall receive Compensation based on the Fair-Market Value of all gross proceeds, services, and/or goods received by the Company by Prospects in exchange for Securities issued in the Offering. The Fair-Market-Value shall be equal to the value of Securities received in exchange, less any cash consideration paid. Company shall pay Compensation to SI Securities in the event that, at any time prior to twelve (12) months after the Termination Date, Company sells or enters into an agreement to sell Securities to a Prospect.
The Company represents and warrants to SI Securities that:
(i) Company’s prior representations remain true and correct.
(ii) Company shall not, without the prior written consent of SI Securities, accept investments in the Offering by Prospects unless such investment occurs through the Online Platform and the applicable investment funds are routed through the escrow account established by SI Securities.
(iii) Company will accept any proposed subscriptions by Prospects, and at Closing, promptly issue the applicable Securities to such subscribing investor unless it receives the written consent of SI Securities to reject such respective subscription.
(iv) Following Closing of the Offering, and until the date at which Company is acquired or conducts its initial public offering, Company shall provide quarterly updates to SI Securities and each Prospect who purchased Securities in the Offering (within 30 days following the close of each quarter). Such updates shall include at least the following information: (i) quarterly net sales, (ii) quarterly change in cash and cash on hand, (iii) material updates on the business, (iv) fundraising updates (any plans for next round, current round status, etc.), and (v) notable press and news.
(v) Company shall use reasonable efforts to include a prominent positive reference to raising capital utilizing the Online Platform in all press releases regarding its Closing of the Offering. SI Securities shall have the right to reference the Offering and its role in connection therewith in marketing materials, on its website and in the press.
(vi) Neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or beneficial owners of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities is or has been (a) indicted for or convicted of any felony or any securities or investment related offense of any kind, (b) enjoined, barred, suspended, censured, sanctioned or otherwise restricted with respect to any securities or investment-related business or undertaking, (c) the subject or target of any securities or investment-related investigation by any regulatory authority, (d) subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).
(vii) Company shall, at its own expense, prepare and file a Form 1-A with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and any applicable states and take all other actions necessary to qualify for the exemption provided by Tier II of Regulation A under Section 3(b) of the Act, in connection with the Offering, make all related state “blue-sky” filings and take all actions necessary to perfect such federal and state exemptions, and provide copies of such filings to SI Securities. In addition, the company shall pay the fees associated with registering the securities with the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation.
(viii) Company has not taken, and will not take any action to cause the Offering to fail to be entitled to rely upon the exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(b) of the Securities Act. Company agrees to comply with applicable provisions of the Act and any requirements thereunder. Company agrees that any representations and warranties made by it to any investor in the Offering shall be deemed also to be made to SI Securities for its benefit.
Company agrees that, except in the case of gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by SI Securities and each of its respective affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees, it will indemnify and hold harmless SI Securities and its respective affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees for any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability incurred by the other (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any action or proceeding) in any claim arising out of a material breach (or alleged breach) by it of any provision of this Exhibit, as a result of any potential violation of any law or regulation, or in any third-party claim arising out of any investment or potential investment in the Offering by a person other than a Prospect.
Company hereby agrees that if it breaches any portion of this Exhibit, (a) SI Securities and any applicable third-party beneficiary (each, a “Damaged Party”) would suffer irreparable harm; (b) it would be difficult to determine damages, and money damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the injuries suffered by the applicable Damaged Party; and (c) if a Damaged Party seeks injunctive relief to enforce this Exhibit, Company will waive and will not (i) assert any defense that the Damaged Party has an adequate remedy at law with respect to the breach, (ii) require that the Damaged Party submit proof of the economic value of any losses, or (iii) require the Damaged to post a bond or any other security. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies and damages available, Company acknowledges and agrees that each Damaged Party may immediately seek enforcement of this Exhibit by means of specific performance or injunction, without any requirement to post a bond or other security. Nothing contained in this Exhibit shall limit the Damaged Party’s right to any other remedies at law or in equity. In any litigation, arbitration, or other proceeding by which one party either seeks to enforce its rights under this Exhibit (whether in contract, tort, or both) or seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations under this Exhibit, the prevailing party shall be awarded its reasonable attorney fees, and costs and expenses incurred. All rights and remedies herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance against the Company for the enforcement of this Exhibit, and temporary and permanent injunctive relief.
THE LIABILITY OF SI SECURITIES, WHETHER BASED ON AN ACTION OR CLAIM IN CONTRACT, EQUITY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR OTHERWISE FOR ALL EVENTS, ACTS, OR OMISSIONS RELATED TO THIS EXHIBIT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID OR PAYABLE TO SI SECURITIES, UNDER THIS EXHIBIT, EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT ON THE PART OF SI SECURITIES.
This Exhibit shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the New York and the federal laws of the United States of America. SI Securities and Company hereby consent and submits to the jurisdiction and forum of the state and federal courts in New York in all questions and controversies arising out of this Exhibit. Aside from otherwise previously mentioned above, in any arbitration, litigation, or other proceeding by which one party either seeks to enforce this Exhibit or seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations under this Exhibit, the non-prevailing party shall pay the prevailing party’s costs and expenses, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees. The failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other party of any provision of this Exhibit shall in no way affect that party’s right to enforce such provisions, nor shall the waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Exhibit be taken or held to be a waiver of any further breach of the same provision. This Exhibit constitutes the entire Exhibit between the Parties.

Fractional votes shall not be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred stock held by each holder could be converted) will be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward). Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of this Restated Certificate, holders of Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class on an as-converted basis, shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision of this Restated Certificate, to notice of any stockholder meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.
2.2 Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. For so long as at least 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Preferred Stock) are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class:
2.2.1 create, authorize or issue shares of any additional class or series of capital stock unless the same ranks junior to the Preferred Stock (or any series thereof) with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and the payment of dividends;
2.2.2 pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, other than dividends or distributions on the Preferred Stock (or any series thereof) as expressly authorized herein;
2.2.3 purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) any shares of capital stock of the Corporation other than repurchases of stock from former employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons who performed services for the Corporation or any subsidiary in connection with the cessation of such employment or service, or otherwise made pursuant to the Corporation’s exercise of contractual rights of first refusal with respect to such shares, in either case at a price no greater than fair market value;
2.2.4 liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation, effect any merger, consolidation or sale of a material portion of the assets of the Corporation or any Deemed Liquidation Event, or consent to any of the foregoing;
2.2.5 increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock (or any series thereof) or Common Stock; or
- 4 -
2.2.6 alter, waive or change the rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Stock (or any series thereof).
For the avoidance of doubt, approval of the Preferred stockholders will not be required for the Corporation to issue debt securities, including, without limitation, convertible debt securities.
2.3 Series A Protective Provisions. For so long as at least 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock) are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Restated Certificate) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class: (a) increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and (b) alter, waive or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely but shall not so affect the entire class of Preferred Stock.
2.4 Series B Protective Provisions. For so long as at least 500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock) are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Restated Certificate) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class: (a) increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock; and (b) alter, waive or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series B Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely but shall not so affect the entire class of Preferred Stock.
2.5 Special Voting Provisions. In the event that less than the required majority of the applicable then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, cast a vote on the matters set forth in Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 above, following a fourteen (14) day notice period (which notice period may be extended for an additional fourteen (14) day period in the sole discretion of the Corporation’s Board of Directors), any unvoted shares of Preferred Stock shall be voted via proxy by the President of the Corporation, either for or against the matter, in the same proportion as the votes that have been received prior to the expiration of the foregoing notice period.
3. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock have the following conversion rights (the “Conversion Rights”):
3.1 Right to Convert.
3.1.1 Conversion Ratio. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price for the series of Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price for that series of Preferred Stock in effect at the time of conversion. The “Conversion Price” for each series of Preferred Stock means the Original Issue Price for such series of Preferred Stock, which initial Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, is subject to adjustment as provided in this Restated Certificate.
- 5 -
3.1.2 Termination of Conversion Rights. Subject to Section 3.3.1 in the case of a Contingency Event, as defined herein, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights will terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the first payment of any funds and assets distributable on such event to the holders of Preferred Stock.
3.2 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion will be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
3.3 Mechanics of Conversion.
3.3.1 Notice of Conversion. To voluntarily convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, a holder of Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the shares of Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that any such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that the holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which the conversion is contingent (a “Contingency Event”). The conversion notice must state the holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of the certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice (or, if later, the date on which all Contingency Events have occurred) will be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such time. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (a) issue and deliver to the holder, or to the holder’s nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Restated Certificate and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, (b) pay in cash such amount as provided in Section 3.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and (c) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted.
- 6 -
3.3.2 Reservation of Shares. For the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall at all times while any share of Preferred Stock is outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, that number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as may from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock is not sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall use its best efforts to cause such corporate action to be taken as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Restated Certificate. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price of a series of Preferred Stock below the then-par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such series of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take any corporate action that may be necessary so that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
3.3.3 Effect of Conversion. All shares of Preferred Stock that shall have been surrendered for conversion as provided in this Restated Certificate shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares will immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Section 3.2, and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued.
3.3.4 No Further Adjustment. Upon any conversion of shares of Preferred Stock, no adjustment to the Conversion Price of the applicable series of Preferred Stock will be made with respect to the converted shares for any declared but unpaid dividends on such series of Preferred Stock or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion.
3.4 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the date on which the first share of a series of Preferred Stock is issued by the Corporation (such date referred to herein as the “Original Issue Date” for such series of Preferred Stock) effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of that series will be increased in proportion to the increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for a series of Preferred Stock combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately before the combination will be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section 3.4 becomes effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
- 7 -
3.5 Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for a series of Preferred Stock makes or issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately before the event will be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event a record date has been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying such Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
(a) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of the issuance or the close of business on the record date, and
(b) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the time of such issuance or the close of business on the record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if such record date has have been fixed and the dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, such Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter such Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.5 as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (ii) no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of such series of Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that they would have received if all outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of the event.
3.6 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for a series of Preferred Stock shall makes or issues, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock), then and in each such event the Corporation shall make, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution to the holders of the series of Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the amount of securities as the holders would have received if all outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.
3.7 Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date for a series of Preferred Stock the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such series of Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock of the Corporation, whether by recapitalization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than by a stock split or combination, dividend, distribution, merger or consolidation covered by Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 or 3.8 or by Section 1.3 regarding a Deemed Liquidation Event), then in any such event each holder of such series of Preferred Stock may thereafter convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change.
- 8 -
3.8 Adjustment for Merger or Consolidation. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.3, if any consolidation or merger occurs involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not a series of Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash, or other property (other than a transaction covered by Sections 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7), then, following any such consolidation or merger, the Corporation shall provide that each share of such series of Preferred Stock will thereafter be convertible, in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to the event, into the kind and amount of securities, cash, or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of such series of Preferred Stock immediately prior to the consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the transaction; and, in such case, the Corporation shall make appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) in the application of the provisions in this Section 3 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of such series of Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 3 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price of such series of Preferred Stock) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of such series of Preferred Stock.
3.9 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of a series of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than 15 days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Restated Certificate and furnish to each holder of such series of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth the adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash, or other property into which such series of Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of any series of Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (a) the Conversion Price of such series of Preferred Stock then in effect and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash, or property which then would be received upon the conversion of such series of Preferred Stock.
3.10 Mandatory Conversion. Upon either (a) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or (b) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the Requisite Holders at the time of such vote or consent, voting as a single class on an as-converted basis (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent, the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock, at the applicable ratio described in Section 3.1.1 as the same may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Section 3 and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation.
- 9 -
3.11 Procedural Requirements. The Corporation shall notify in writing all holders of record of shares of Preferred Stock of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3.10. Unless otherwise provided in this Restated Certificate, the notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of the notice, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall surrender such holder’s certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice, and shall thereafter receive certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 3. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Section 3.10, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Section 3.11. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to such holder’s nominee(s), a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with cash as provided in Section 3.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock converted. Such converted Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock (and the applicable series thereof) accordingly.
4. Dividends. The Corporation shall declare all dividends pro rata on the Common Stock and the Preferred Stock on a pari passu basis according to the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holders. For this purpose each holder of shares of Preferred Stock will be treated as holding the greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder pursuant to Section 3.
5. Redeemed or Otherwise Acquired Shares. Any shares of Preferred Stock that are redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries will be automatically and immediately cancelled and retired and shall not be reissued, sold or transferred. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries may exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of Preferred Stock following any such redemption.
- 10 -
6. Waiver. Any of the rights, powers, privileges and other terms of the Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived prospectively or retrospectively on behalf of all holders of Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of the Requisite Holders.
7. Notice of Record Date. In the event:
(a) the Corporation takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or
(b) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or
(c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,
then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Preferred Stock a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution, or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock) will be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. The Corporation shall send the notice at least 20 days before the earlier of the record date or effective date for the event specified in the notice.
8. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice required or permitted by the provisions of this Article V to be given to a holder of shares of Preferred Stock must be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, and will be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.
ARTICLE VI: PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS.
No stockholder of the Corporation has a right to purchase shares of capital stock of the Corporation sold or issued by the Corporation except to the extent that such a right may from time to time be set forth in a written agreement between the Corporation and the stockholder.
- 11 -
ARTICLE VII: STOCK REPURCHASES.
In accordance with Section 500 of the California Corporations Code, a distribution can be made without regard to any preferential dividends arrears amount (as defined in Section 500 of the California Corporations Code) or any preferential rights amount (as defined in Section 500 of the California Corporations Code) in connection with (i) repurchases of Common Stock issued to or held by employees, officers, directors, or consultants of the Corporation or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, (ii) repurchases of Common Stock issued to or held by employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Corporation or its subsidiaries pursuant to rights of first refusal contained in agreements providing for such right, (iii) repurchases of Common Stock or Preferred Stock in connection with the settlement of disputes with any stockholder, or (iv) any other repurchase or redemption of Common Stock or Preferred Stock approved by the holders of Preferred Stock of the Corporation.
ARTICLE VIII: BYLAW PROVISIONS.

ARTICLE IX: DIRECTOR LIABILITY.
A. LIMITATION. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the General Corporation Law or any other law of the State of Delaware is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article IX to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as so amended. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article IX by the stockholders will not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of the Corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal or modification.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the Corporation (and any other persons to which General Corporation Law permits the Corporation to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law.

a. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein and no duties shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Escrow Agreement, including without limitation the Offering Document.

Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility shall be for the safekeeping and disbursement of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties or obligations and shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any fact or circumstance not specifically set forth herein.

In no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages (including, but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. Escrow Agent shall not be obligated to take any legal action or commence any proceeding in connection with the Escrow Funds, any account in which Escrow Funds are deposited, this Escrow Agreement or the Offering Document, or to appear in, prosecute or defend any such legal action or proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for or required to enforce any of the terms or conditions of any subscription agreement with any Subscriber or any other agreement between Issuer and any Subscriber. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any manner for the performance by Issuer or any Subscriber of their respective obligations under any subscription agreement nor shall Escrow Agent be responsible or liable in any manner for the failure of Issuer or any third party (including any Subscriber) to honor any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question as to the construction of any of the provisions hereof or of any other agreement or of its duties hereunder, or relating to any dispute involving any party hereto, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully indemnified from any reasonable liability whatsoever in acting in accordance with the reasonable opinion or instruction of such counsel. Issuer shall promptly pay, upon demand, the reasonable fees and expenses of any such counsel.
b. The Escrow Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to comply with orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the Escrow Funds, without determination by the Escrow Agent of such court's jurisdiction in the matter. If any portion of the Escrow Funds is at any time attached, garnished or levied upon under any court order, or in case the payment, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery of any such property shall be stayed or enjoined by any court order, or in case any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting such property or any part thereof, then and in any such event, the Escrow Agent is authorized, in its reasonable discretion, to rely upon and comply with any such order, writ, judgment or decree which it is advised by legal counsel selected by it is binding upon it without the need for appeal or other action; and if the Escrow Agent complies with any such order, writ, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance even though such order, writ, judgment or decree may be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by the Issuer. The obligations of Issuer under this Section 9 shall survive any termination of this Escrow Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.
10. Compensation to Escrow Agent.
a. Fees and Expenses.

b. Disbursements from Escrow Funds to Pay Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent is authorized to and may disburse from time to time, to itself or to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Funds (but only to the extent of Issuer’s rights thereto), the amount of any compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses due and payable hereunder (including any amount to which Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 9 hereof). Escrow Agent shall notify Issuer of any disbursement from the Escrow Funds to itself or to any Indemnified Party in respect of any compensation or reimbursement hereunder and shall furnish to Issuer copies of all related invoices and other statements.
-7-
c. Security and Offset. Issuer hereby grants to Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties a security interest in and lien upon the Escrow Funds (to the extent of Issuer’s rights thereto) to secure all obligations hereunder, and Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to offset the amount of any compensation or reimbursement due any of them hereunder (including any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9 hereof) against the Escrow Funds (to the extent of Issuer’s rights thereto.) If for any reason the Escrow Funds available to Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties pursuant to such security interest or right of offset are insufficient to cover such compensation and reimbursement, Issuer shall promptly pay such amounts to Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties upon receipt of an itemized invoice.

We may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

Any of these courts shall be proper venue for any such lawsuit or judicial proceeding and the parties hereto waive any objection to such venue.

Exhibit 13



























Lauren: 57:31 Great. Thank you so much John. That's all the time that we have today. Thanks for keeping us on track. Last but not least we have Cary from NowRx [...] technology driven online pharmacy.
Cary: Thanks Lauren. Are you guys able to see me?
Lauren: I just sent you a webcam request.
Cary: Great. Thank you very much. My name is Cary Breese I'm CEO and co-founder of NowRX. Some of you may be familiar with our NowRx from the SeedInvest community. For those of you not familiar, we are completely engineering the business of retail pharmacy. 58:31 We redesigned and re-engineered every pharmacy process optimized around free same-day delivery of all prescription medications. We do this with technology with a modern business model with different integrations with physicians and insurance companies. We employ deploy robotics and our own homegrown logistics to provide a safe reliable full replacement of a retail pharmacy solution for customers. We’re coming back to the crowd we have raised previously through seed invest so we're really excited to be back. We’re proud of the results that we've been able to achieve with prior investment amounts. We raised seven million dollars in our Series A last year through the crowd and coming back again. We had revenue growth of ninety percent year over year through 2018. 59:33 Revenues in July 2019 was six hundred twenty thousand dollars for an annualized revenue run rate of 7.4 million dollars. We've served over a hundred thousand customers..sorry we've delivered over a hundred thousand prescriptions to 18 thousand customers. We have over 4,500 physicians that have referred customers to us and we continue to grow. So we're really excited about the progress. I'm even more excited about the opportunity. 01:00:10 A lot of people talk about disruption and we all know pharmacy is a massive industry. It's about four hundred billion dollars. It takes more often than not more than just technology to truly disrupt an industry and in the pharmacy industry that big providers, the leading players like Walgreens and CVS and RiteAid, I believe they are stuck in a model that is trying to encourage in-store pick up. They want you in their store. They want to bring you into a big store, big retail facility... usually 15,000 square feet. They have aisles and aisles of other products. They keep the pharmacy way in the back. They want you in that store. They want to upsell. W talked to a former manager of a CVS and he said one of their metrics that they were measured by was time in the store.01:01:05 The higher, the better. They want customers in the store and that's why you see the landscape today.
There is same-day delivery being offered by CVS and Walgreens and they charge for it. They charge $8 for the same day. They charge $5 for next day delivery. You see them adding all kinds of additional services inside pharmacies... one minute clinics, other bringing in physician assistants. They want to be a destination. That misalignment of incentives is what creates an incredible opportunity to really disrupt. If they go to same-day free same-day delivery, there's no longer a reason for CVS to have their 8000 stores spread across the United States because no one will go in it and that's what the opportunity is and that's why we're so excited we can go after the big guys. 01:01:56 We compete on technology and we can compete on a disruptive business bump. Now obviously Amazon is coming there in the space. They acquired a company called Pill Pack last year. What Pill Pack is up to this point exclusively mail delivery. Mail delivery and pharmacy has been around for decades.
01:02:15 It's led by companies like Express Scripts, Caremark and OptumRx and now Pill Pack Amazon is in the game. It's free delivery, but it's free mail delivery, which is a four or five day turnaround.. sometimes more. It just doesn't satisfy what the vast majority of pharmacy customers want. The vast majority of the industry is being served by corner-store pharmacies and again they want to attract you into the store. We think the industry is going to free same-day delivery. 01:02:47 We think that's the future. We think the big guys are not going to go there anytime soon and we think Amazon has its hands full with mail delivery and so we think there's a huge runway and a massive opportunity to continue to grab market. We're bringing the latest in technology into pharmacy.We've built our own homegrown proprietary pharmacy management system called QuickFill. The third version that we just released in April has been certified by the industry for pharmacy prescription receipt of electronic prescriptions, which is managed by a company called Surescripts. 01:03:27 They managed the largest network of the prescriptions throughout the U.S. connecting more than 1.6 million physicians and covers 85% of the prescription business in the US. We are now certified on that network. Tat means we can receive prescription delivery electronically from any physician on that network. We've also been certified. Our software's been certified by Caremark for insurance processing.
01:03:53 So we connect directly to insurance companies through our system to get instantaneous adjudication of claims. We also can handle coupons and other things electronically and we've been certified by the DEA. It’s a really big deal. We've been working on this for three years. We're really excited about achieving this milestone. That company Pill Pack I mentioned earlier that was acquired by Amazon for about seven hundred and twenty five million, they did not have their own homegrown pharmacy management system that was certified as ours is.
01:04:27 So we really have a great start on the technology side. We also employ a robotic solution. We don't make the robots. We acquire them from Parata, but we integrate them with our pharmacy management system and our consumer facing app. We've instilled a image analytic solution that we partnered with Parata to cut down on processing for the pharmacist verification side and bunch of other things coming. We have an integrated communication layer. We communicate in a HIPAA compliant, which is patient privacy compliant manner with patients either via text via our app... via voice activation. 01:05:09 We’re the only approved solution the Google home assistant program for managing prescriptions via voice activation. So it's really an entire suite of technologies that we bring to bear and we couple all of that with our own logistics and routing software as well and by tightly coupling the logistics and the pharmacy management system, we can achieve some really interesting extra algorithms and optimizations.
01:05:40 For example, at any point in time we have a queue of new prescriptions coming in, we can triage those based on what routes are being built in our platform. We could also look ahead at upcoming refills that might be two or three days out. We can re-triage those and still fill those today because it might have a route that's already going to a particular neighborhood or near particular customer. 01:06:06 So we have some very interesting algorithms. We have a patent pending on one, so it's an algorithm that's called opportunistic resale based on geographic input and there are some more to follow that are in the works right now. So we’re doing a lot of R& D on any technology that can optimize pharmacy further. Our technology also makes life easier and moe streamline for physicians. 01:06:33 So we save physicians time. There's less follow-up. There are fewer mishaps. Our inventory management system provides transparency to physicians while they are prescribing. We have an early warning system. We have follow up dashboard that let’s physicians know who filled what prescription when. There’s a big play in this industry around better medication adherence which is the consistency with which patients take their medication. Can reduce hospitalizations and readmissions.It means an awful lot to insurance companies.
01:07:08 So there are a wide range of things we’re bringing on the technology front. We also just have a better business model. So by alleviating the need to have patients come into a pharmacy, we no longer need fancy retail locations. This map that you're looking at now is actually data of a 5 mile radius drawn around our Mountain View facility, which was the first facility we launched in 2016. There are 20 big chain pharmacies within 5 miles of our location, which is where I'm talking to you right now from and we can serve that entire territory out of one facility. It’s commercial space. I don't need the retail space. 01:07:50 I need 5,000 square feet versus their 15,000 square feet per location. I can pay a third of the rate per square foot. So it is a vastly reduced fixed overhead and that's part of how we can absorb the delivery cost so the customer doesn't have to. There's really two parts to that. We have way lower fixed overhead and then all of our technology and automation with robotic dispensing with our streamlined software system and pharmacy management system that cuts down on time both pharmacy technicians band and pharmacists themselves all of that compresses the expense margins further. So we can operate at the same margins or better than the big chain pharmacies and just provide a 10x better customer experience. Customers love NowRx. No surprise. 01:08:43 Nobody likes standing in line. We completely eliminate the need to even have to visit a pharmacy. Much less stand in line. Our net promoter score is 23 points higher than the healthcare industry average and 86% of customers are either very likely or extremely likely to use NowRx again. As I mentioned it’s a massive industry. There are not many $400 billion plus industries around. Think about that size. Just in the Bay area alone is two billion dollars in pharmacy business served everyday at a corner store [...]
01:09:24 We’ve grown up to this point at a $7.4 million annualized run rate, almost without any direct to consumer marketing. All of our business has come through the physician referral channel. We go call on physicians We expose them to the idea NowRx and how our system can save physicians time as well as benefit the customer.. We're now ramping up our direct-to-consumer marketing. We have several channels... digital, highly localized, PR and on ground events. I just hired a chief revenue officer who’s a 30 year veteran and advertising and consumer ad space and digital marketing space. 01:10:10 So we’re really excited now to go to our next phase and start to roll out our directive consumer marketing to really accelerate growth.
01:10:17 We're also now operating out of two facilities in the Bay Area. We're soon to launch three more... including one in Orange County... LA area... which will be our second geography. We really expect that to boost our growth. There is defensibility here.. mostly through our technology. I mention our pharmacy management system. There's a lot of preparatory tech. We’re developing more as well. It's fully end to end robotic system. You can point a button on the NowRx app and the prescription will get routed to our automatic dispensing robot that counts, sorts, fills, bottles, caps, labels in 25 seconds. 01:11:03 There's also image analytics component to that. We’re already doing some data analytics at an aggregate level. So data [...] But looking at patient analytics to drive prescription and medication adherence even farther by targeting disease states and patient demographics to get even better adherence and overall prescription management. Our model has licensed facilities. We’re now up to five licensed facilities. Two operational. Three soon to be. That is a barrier to entry as well. Takes a little bit of time to get facilities licensed. It's done at the state level. 01:11:44 We have our own drivers and our own fleet. We use electronic vehicles..[...] The E500s. It's a third the cost of a mile. We get access to the carpool lanes with fast reliable delivery. The drivers are our own employees so they’re HIPAA certified. Again they’re patient privacy trained and we have two-way integration with our physician partners. We get that via access to the SureScripts network. Again, our own proprietary system to do that, and we believe our model is truly disruptive to the big pharmacies. We don’t believe chains like CVS and Walgreens are going to come to free same-day delivery anytime soon. 01:12:27 So we think there's a massive runway. We're really excited. We're raising twenty million dollars in our Series B, which is the current round on SeedInvest. It's Reg A+ round again. We have a 65 million pre-money valuation 1x liquidity preference. Most of that will be spent in three areas... both well our technology...we're going to continue to push. So our R&D effort is going to expand. We're expanding to more facilities and more geographies. We will be expanding to west coast throughout 2020 and then nationally and we're also ramping up as I mentioned direct consumer sales marketing.
01:13:10 I'm a multi-time founder startup founder. My most recent success was an insurance business called Trafalgar Insurance, which I sold for about 18x return on investment. Insurance is a great background for pharmacy. Every transaction is an insurance transaction. We're targeting the health insurance plans and driving their expenses down lower, so they're going to be big partners for us. My co-founder, Sumeet, is a longtime technologist. Came out of Experian. Building business line apps and banking and knows everything about security and privacy, which is obviously very helpful and we use a team in India and starting to ramp up some developers in the US as well. Just brought on board Mike Rosenberg, who's our chief revenue officer. He's building out a direct-to-consumer marketing team and PR efforts and obviously we have several pharmacy experts on the team in leadership as well. 01:14:17 I think I’m the only one that put up the proper disclaimer of the three today so you can have a look at that. We're still in reservation mode and happy to open up to any questions. Thank you very much.
Lauren: 01:14:30 Great. Thank you so much Cary. You know the drill. We have a bunch of questions, so let's get started with them right now. First question... right now - Given the PillPack acquisition, do you see Amazon as a potential acquirer?
Cary: Yes, I do. There have been some discussions a while ago during that acquisition period Amazon was looking at a lot of different models. They decided on mail delivery and I can understand that. That's their really their wheelhouse, if you think about Amazon they do do some same-day delivery to be sure and they do have this Wholefoods platform now to leverage. I believe based on conversations in and around the industry that they are focused on mail delivery now. If and when that changes then yes I think we would be a natural partner.
Lauren: 01:15:29 Alright. Next question how do you defend against a pharmacy such as Walmart who is now offering homegrown free delivery?
Cary: Great question. I think Walmart is a very interesting potential acquirers strategic partner and competitor. Certainly. They want to go after Amazon. I think that's pretty clear. Day two we're looking at PillPack. If rumors can be believed, so they are looking for some technology advantages in the pharmacy. One can presume.So we'll have to see about that. Not too worried about the big companies like that going after pharmacy for truly a free same-day delivery pharmacy. There's a lot of nuances to pharmacy that makes it quite different than other types of products. Nmber one: how do you even get the order. The customer doesn't drive the order in pharmacy world, the doctor does. If you think about it, right? You don't go just decide you're going to get a prescription So you have to be inside the doctor's office to get that order. That's where the point of sale is, so therefore you need a certified system. You need to be able to receive electronic prescriptions and you'd be able to interact with a physician.01:16:48 All of that takes a lot of technology on the pharmacy side. Took us three years to develop. I think we've I think we've got a pretty good head start, but look I don't take any competitors lightly, but you know I think I think we're in a good position.
Lauren: 01:17:06 Great. Next question: do you pay the physicians a referral fee?
Cary: Nope. Not allowed to pay. By law that would be a kickback. There are benefits, however the physicians derive by using NowRx and referring their patients to NowRx. Mostly time savings, but you know many doctors do care about their patients’ convenience and so that's a factor. They care about sort of the marketing side of having you know a new convenient pharmacy partner that that can help serve their patients. It's sort of a an extra bell and whistle they can advertise for their practice. They care about the saving time, so fewer mishaps at NowRx...fewer frustrated customers, which by the way generally when a patient has a problem at CVS they call in the doctor and blame the doctor. So we cut out a lot of those phone calls and then longer-term you know this idea around medication adherence and better medication better consistency taking medication... fewer hospitalizations... reduced mishaps... something like 290 billion dollars a year is wasted and unnecessary hospitalizations due to patients not taking their medications according to the doctor's prescription. 01:18:34 So giving doctors exposure to that and a dashboard that they can monitor and going after patients that are more likely to be non inherent is a really big value to health insurance plans and physicians.
Lauren: 01:18:52 Great. Okay. We have time for one more question. Last question: can you discuss some of your customers’ biggest concerns and error? So for example, any missed deliveries, incorrect prescriptions, theft, no SAS.
Cary: No theft. That question comes up a lot. We've had zero theft. We tracked the prescriptions from the time they leave our pharmacy to the door of the patient. We take GPS stamped photos and tracking and signatures when required. You know we do on occasion mis-deliver because the address was incorrect or the patient wanted it at the office. Either we miss heard them or there was some miscommunication and we delivered to their home or we you know miscommunicated the time. We said we’d be there between 6:00 and 7:00 and they thought it was we said five to six. So that does happen. We get some missed deliveries. It is true. We generally work it out the next day. Haven't had really any kind of problem with that our Yelp reviews I encourage you to check them out. 01:20:01 We get some feedback on the app from time to time and we’re doing an another release soon to try and make the app as good as it can be, but overall our Yelp reviews are just outstanding and I encourage you to read them.
Lauren: 01:20:17 Great. Thank you so much. That's all the time we have for questions. Thank you to everyone who watched and everyone who has questions. If you had a question that was not answered feel free to go to the discussion board of the profiles on SeedInvest at the bottom where management will directly respond. If you would like to preserve shares or learn more about these four companies you can do so via their pages on SeedInvest.Thanks again and this concludes today's presentation.
