Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

As an issuer with less than $1.07 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 (the “Exchange Act”). 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”);

 

 

 

 

  · 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 $1.07 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.

SUMMARY

 

Overview

 

Balanced Pharma Incorporated is an early-stage pharmaceutical company. Our core mission is to improve the comfort and efficiency of local anesthetic injections for patients and clinicians, and our current focus is on the development, regulatory approval, and commercialization of an improved local dental anesthetic drug (“Libracaine Dental”) that is less painful, faster acting, and more reliable.

 

Current local anesthetics contain acid as a preservative. Although the acid is necessary for adequate shelf life, it also makes the injection more painful, slower acting, and less reliable. Neutralizing the acid (“Buffering”) reduces the pain, hastens the onset, and provides anesthesia more reliably. BPI has developed unique patent-pending technology that enables delivery of a buffered drug from a standard dental cartridge.

 

The dental cartridge market in North America, Europe, Japan, and South Korea is an estimated 744 million units for 2019. Our goal is to achieve a 10% or greater share of this market. We plan to sell Libracaine Dental wholesale to existing dental product distributors. Local anesthetic is typically a small consumable supply expense that represents less than 0.5% of the typical dental procedure cost and is not passed on to patients or insurance companies as a separate expense.

 

Assuming we receive regulatory approvals, we expect to launch Libracaine Dental in 2025 and create similar products thereafter for certain medical specialties, including but not limited to: dermatology, plastic surgery, emergency medicine, interventional radiology, and podiatry.

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:

 

Risks Related to the Company and its Business

 

The Company has a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate its performance, and has not yet generated profits. Accordingly, the Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks that any new Company encounters.
The Company has a history of losses, and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.

We rely on other third parties to provide services essential to the success of our business.
We have limited ability to predict the market share or sale price for our product.
We must mass produce a novel, technologically advanced product.
We currently plan for a single product to generate future income.

 

1

 

 

Changes in the prices of supplies and raw materials could have a materially adverse effect on our business.
Loss of key management would threaten our ability to implement our business strategy.
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights.
We depend upon our ability to make, market, and sell our product.
We must protect our proprietary information and that of others.
We plan on operating in foreign jurisdictions.
We are and may continue to be impacted by the worldwide economic downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Risks Related to Regulation

 

Our product is highly regulated.
If we do not obtain regulatory approval, we will not be able to market Libracaine Dental.
If we fail to obtain regulatory approval in jurisdictions outside the United States, we will not be able to market our products in those jurisdictions.
Even if we obtain FDA approval to market Libracaine Dental, it might not be accepted by oral health care providers and other providers.
If we cannot compete effectively, our sales will suffer.
There may be flaws in Libracaine Dental.
If our manufacturers do not obtain or maintain current Good Manufacturing Practices, we may not be able to obtain or maintain the governmental approvals necessary to commercialize Libracaine Dental.
If we fail to comply with extensive regulations after any FDA approval of a product or the FDA withdraws its approval, we may be forced to suspend the sale of this product.

 

Risks Related to our Offering

 

The Company is dependent on the proceeds of this Offering and may need to seek additional funds if the full Offering amount is not raised.
There is currently no public market for our Common Stock, and a public market for our Common Stock may never develop.
The Securities of the Company cannot be transferred except in compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Shareholder Agreement, as amended.
Voting control is in the hands of a few large stockholders.
Any valuation at this stage is difficult to assess.
There is no minimum amount set as a condition to closing this Offering.
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.
The subscription agreement has forum selection provisions that require disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the State of Delaware, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor.
Using a credit card to purchase Shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment.

RISK FACTORS

 

The Commission requires the to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The 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.

 

Risks Related to the Company and its Business

 

The Company has a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate its performance, and has not yet generated profits. Accordingly, the Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks that any new Company encounters. Balanced Pharma was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 1, 2020 (“Inception”). The Company has not yet generated sustained profits. The likelihood of its creation of a viable business must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a business, operation in a competitive industry, and the continued development of its technology and products. The Company anticipates that its operating expenses will increase for the near future, and there is no assurance that it will be profitable in the near future. The Company will only be able to pay dividends on any shares once its directors determine that it is financially able to do so. Balanced Pharma has incurred a net loss and has had limited revenues generated since Inception. There is no assurance that the Company will be profitable in the foreseeable future or generate sufficient revenues to pay dividends to the holders of the shares. You should consider the business, operations and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and challenges faced as an emerging growth Company.

 

We require substantial further investment. The Company does not currently have revenue to fund development operations that are critical to the business plan and will remain dependent upon its ability to attract investment to generate cash and meet its financial obligations until revenue can be generated by product sales, which we believe cannot occur for at least 24 months (please see “going concern” note in audited financial statements). We believe our business plan requires at least an additional $15,000,000 of investment from external sources before we realize income and return on investment. Investment in the Company carries more risk of loss due to failure to attract future investment in comparison with companies that are less dependent upon outside investment.

 

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. We expect to make significant future investments in order to develop and expand our business, which we believe will result in additional marketing and general and administrative expenses that will require increased sales to recover these additional costs. We also expect to continue to incur significant legal, compliance, accounting, and other administrative expenses. The Company may not generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability. The Company may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including slowing demand for its products and increasing competition, as well as the other risks described in this offering circular, and may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays, and other unknown factors to expand the business. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability and may incur significant losses in the future.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 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 has not generated profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $900,980 and $84,189 for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $985,168. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or to obtain additional capital financing. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. 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.

We rely on other third parties to provide services essential to the success of our business. Third parties provide or will provide a variety of essential business functions for us, including manufacturing, product development, regulatory affairs, customer service, legal and distribution. It is possible that some of these third parties will fail to perform their services or will perform them in an unacceptable manner. It is possible that we will experience delays, errors, or other problems with their work that will materially impact our operations.

 

In particular, we rely on Verta Life Sciences for much of our product development, regulatory, and manufacturing consulting. In the event we were to terminate our relationship with Verta Life Sciences, for any reason, including but not limited to, changes in state and federal regulations, we would have to seek alternative options immediately. Our product development, regulatory progress, or manufacturing could be interrupted by the change in consultants, and our business could suffer. If our efforts to contract with another consulting firm are unsuccessful, the Company may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability and may incur significant losses in the future. As a result, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

We have limited ability to predict the market share or sale price for our product. Because our product is a drug that must gain regulatory approval prior to any commercial use, we cannot test the product in the market, and must rely upon market research studies that can only estimate our unit sales and revenue for a product that we must sell at a price premium over competing generic products in order to achieve adequate profit margins and generate sufficient revenue and income. Our current business plan depends upon achieving a minimum price and market share within a minimum time to deliver an acceptable return on investment. Investment in the Company carries more risk of loss due to inaccurate revenue forecasts in comparison with companies that already have revenue or that have products with more predictable revenue.

 

We must mass produce a novel, technologically advanced product. Our business plan is dependent upon the design and mass production of a novel, technologically advanced drug container and drug product that has never been mass produced, using novel, technologically advanced automated machinery. Inability to mass produce our product could result in delays or inability to launch the product and realize revenue and income. Investment in the Company carries more risk of loss due to technological failure in comparison with companies that do not rely upon technologically advanced or novel products as their sole source of revenue.

 

We currently plan for a single product to generate future income.  The Company is currently developing a single product (“Libracaine Dental”) for sale, and our current business plan is solely dependent upon these sales for revenue and income. If we are unable to successfully develop and sell Libracaine Dental, we may be unable to develop another product to generate revenue and income with the resources available to us. Investment in the Company carries more risk of loss due to product failure in comparison to companies with a more diversified product portfolio and more potential revenue streams.

 

Changes in the prices of supplies and raw materials could have a materially adverse effect on our business. There have been changes in the cost of raw materials and components used in pharmaceutical and medical device production in recent years. The increases in prices may also take place in the future and our inability to pass on increases to our customers could reduce our margins and profits and have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot assure you that shortages or increases in the prices of our supplies or raw materials will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Loss of key management would threaten our ability to implement our business strategy. The management of future growth will require our ability to retain J. Scott Keadle, our CEO. Scott is a key person whose skills and efforts comprise a large component of our ability to implement our business plan and grow our business. If J. Scott Keadle were to leave the Company, our platform and business model could be adversely affected.

 

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights. We intend to own patents (for, among other things, our drug product container technology) and other intellectual property rights that are important to our business and competitive position, and we endeavor to protect them. However, we cannot assure you that the steps we have taken or will take will be sufficient to protect our intellectual property rights or to prevent others from seeking to invalidate our trademarks or patents or block sales of our products as a violation of the trademarks and intellectual property rights of others. In addition, we cannot assure you that third parties will not infringe on or misappropriate our rights, imitate our products, or assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights of ours or in marks or patents that are similar to ours or marks or patents that we license and/or market. In some cases, there may be trademark or patent owners who have prior rights to our marks or patents or to similar marks or patents. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights against infringement or misappropriation, or if others assert rights in or seek to invalidate our intellectual property rights, this could materially harm our future financial results and our ability to develop our business.

 

4

 

 

We depend upon our ability to make, market, and sell our product. Our business plan depends on our ability to make, market, and sell a technologically advanced product without infringing upon the patent or trademark rights of others. If we infringe upon the patent or trademark rights of others, those parties could make claims against us resulting in partial or complete loss of revenue or income. Investment in the Company carries more risk of loss due to infringement in comparison with companies that have more certainty of their freedom to operate.

 

We must protect our proprietary information and that of others. Many of our scientific and management personnel are third-party consultants currently or previously employed by other biotech and pharma companies. As a result, we could be subject to allegations of trade-secret violations and other claims relating to the intellectual property rights of these companies. In addition, our confidentiality agreements may not adequately protect our proprietary information. Investment in the Company carries more risk of loss due to proprietary claims or litigation in comparison with companies that are less dependent upon proprietary technology.

 

We plan on operating in foreign jurisdictions. We will be required to comply with the laws of those jurisdictions, including restrictions on exporting currency, requirements for local partners, tax laws and other legal requirements. Doing business in such foreign jurisdictions entails political risk, and their judicial systems may not provide the same level of legal protections and enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights to which investors are accustomed in the United States. Investment in the Company carries more risk of loss due to foreign complications in comparison with companies that only operate domestically.

 

We are and may continue to be impacted by the worldwide economic downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has spread to many countries, including the United States, and in March 2020 was declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified and the United States, Europe and Asia have implemented severe travel restrictions and social distancing. The impacts of the outbreak are unknown and rapidly evolving. A widespread health crisis has adversely affected and could continue to affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could negatively impact the value of the Company’s shares and investor demand for shares generally.

 

The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could cause a further economic slowdown or recession or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The extent to which COVID-19 affects our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has had and may continue to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally or impacts consumer demand for dental services.

 

Risks Related to Governmental Approvals

 

Our product is highly regulated. Our business plan depends upon our ability to secure and maintain permission from various regulatory agencies, including the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to make, market, and sell an injectable drug product in a novel container. Regulatory approval of injectable drugs and devices traditionally carries a high probability of failure, and continued regulatory approval of the manufacture, distribution, marketing, and safety of a drug product requires intense effort for as long as the product is on the market. Investment in the Company carries more risk of loss due to failure to obtain and maintain regulatory approval in comparison with companies whose products are not subject to regulation.

 

5

 

 

If we do not obtain regulatory approval, we will not be able to market Libracaine Dental. We have not received regulatory approval in the United States or any foreign jurisdiction for the commercial sale of any of Libracaine Dental. We currently believe that we will be able to receive the requisite approval in the United States through the NDA process, see “The Company’s Business – Regulation”.

 

We have not yet submitted an NDA for Libracaine Dental and there is no guarantee that we will be able to use this process to receive the approval. The process of obtaining FDA and other required regulatory approvals, including foreign approvals, often takes many years and can vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidates involved. Furthermore, this approval process is extremely expensive and uncertain. We have only limited experience in filing and pursuing applications necessary to gain regulatory approvals. If we do not receive the approval in the United States we will not be able to market and sell our product there.

 

We plan to submit an NDA to the FDA during 2024 based upon evidence we have collected through research conducted by us or others.  We plan to submit similar documentation to the regulatory bodies in foreign jurisdictions.  The FDA or these other regulatory bodies may, after completing their own analyses, either determine that our research should have been conducted or analyzed differently, and thus reach a different conclusion from that reached by us, or request that further research or analysis be conducted, including but not limited to, requiring us to complete clinical trials. In addition, the FDA may not accept the NDA we plan to submit for Libracaine Dental as being complete. This would require us to amend and resubmit the NDA. On balance, if we are required to do any of the aforementioned items, we would incur additional costs and delays in commercialization.

 

If we fail to obtain regulatory approval in jurisdictions outside the United States, we will not be able to market our products in those jurisdictions. We intend to seek regulatory approval for our technology and products in a number of countries outside of the United States and expect that these countries will be important markets for our products, if approved. Marketing our products in these countries will require separate regulatory approvals in each market and compliance with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. The regulations that apply to the conduct of clinical trials and approval procedures vary from country to country and may require additional testing. Moreover, the time required to obtain approval may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions, and approval by one foreign regulatory authority does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other foreign countries or by the FDA. The foreign regulatory approval process may include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval. We may not obtain foreign regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all. We may not be able to file for regulatory approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize our products in any foreign market.

 

Even if we obtain FDA approval to market Libracaine Dental, it might not be accepted by oral health care providers and other providers. Libracaine Dental will not be a commercially successful product unless accepted by oral health care providers as clinically useful, cost-effective and safe. In addition, because Libracaine Dental is designed to enhance the existing standard of care for providing anesthesia, it increases the initial cost of treatment and is not expected to be reimbursed by governmental health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations.  Providers may not accept Libracaine Dental if they believe it is too expensive.

 

In all territories, and particularly in Europe, providers may choose to pass the cost of Libracaine Dental on to patients and may charge more than their cost in purchasing Libracaine Dental in order to make a profit from using Libracaine Dental.  We cannot control or dictate the price at which providers choose to charge their patients when using Libracaine Dental.  Accordingly, patients may not accept Libracaine Dental if they believe it is too expensive, reducing providers’ ability to use it and reducing Libracaine Dental sales revenues.

 

We operate in a highly competitive industry, and competitive pressures could have a material adverse effect on our business. The dental pharmaceutical industry in the United States is intensely competitive. The principal competitive factors in our industry include product range, pricing, distribution capabilities and responsiveness to customer preferences, with varying emphasis on these factors depending on the market and the product. With respect to individual customers, we face significant competition from various manufacturers, brands, and distributors, who compete principally on price.

Further, FDA-approved products currently exist that will compete with most of the product candidates we are developing. These products include:

 

Injectable local anesthetic agents including:

 

oGeneric and branded lidocaine, including Xylocaine;

 

oGeneric and branded articaine, including Septocaine;

 

oOther generic and branded local anesthesia products, including bupivacaine, mepivacaine, and prilocaine.

 

Systems for Buffering local anesthetic agents, including the Onset system from OnPharma and the Anutra system from Anutra Medical, Inc.

 

These existing competitors, and direct competitors that may commence operations, of which we are currently unaware or are or will be in clinical development, have or may have substantially greater financial, sales and marketing resources, research and development capabilities, scientific, manufacturing than the Company.  They may also have larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than the Company.  As a result, these competitors may be able to take advantage of opportunities more readily and devote greater resources to development and marketing than the Company.  There can be no assurance that the Company will compete successfully with such competitors.

 

Our competitors may succeed in developing products earlier and obtaining regulatory approvals from the FDA more rapidly than us.  Our competitors may also develop products that are superior to those we are developing and render our product candidates or technologies obsolete or non-competitive. The effect of this competition could adversely affect our results of operations.

 

There may be flaws in Libracaine Dental. Libracaine Dental may contain design, processing and other defects that are difficult to detect and correct.  Any flaws or errors may result in the loss of, or delay in, market acceptance, as well as diminish the Company’s reputation, credibility and relationships with customers.  If the Company is unable to fix errors or other problems quickly, or at all, the Company could experience:

 

loss of or delays in revenues;

 

unexpected costs associated with the remediation of any problem;

 

failure to achieve market acceptance and/or loss of market share;

 

revocation of NDA approval from the FDA and other regulatory organization; or

 

legal action by the Company’s customers.

 

If our manufacturers do not obtain or maintain current Good Manufacturing Practices, we may not be able to obtain or maintain the governmental approvals necessary to commercialize Libracaine Dental.  Following extensive review of an NDA, the FDA may grant marketing approval, reject the application or require additional testing or information. Sales of a new drug may commence following FDA approval of an NDA and satisfactory completion of a pre-approval inspection of each manufacturing facility, including a review of pertinent production records. Drug manufacturing facilities are subject to a plant inspection before the FDA will issue approval to market a new drug product, and all of the suppliers and contract manufacturers that we intend to use must adhere to the current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations, or CGMPs, prescribed by the FDA. Detailed manufacturing information is also required to be submitted for review and approval by the FDA as part of the NDA. We must submit data indicating that the drug product can be consistently manufactured by our supplier at the same quality standard, that the drug product is stable over time, that the level of chemical impurities in the drug product is below specified levels, and that the delivery device developed by us for Libracaine Dental works as intended in a consistent manner.

If we fail to comply with extensive regulations after any FDA approval of a product or the FDA withdraws its approval, we may be forced to suspend the sale of this product.  Continued compliance with all FDA requirements and the conditions in an approved NDA, including those concerning product specifications, manufacturing process, validation, labeling, promotional material, record-keeping and reporting, is required for all approved drug products. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in warning letters, product recall, criminal action or other FDA-initiated actions, which could delay further marketing until the products are brought into compliance. Product approvals may also be withdrawn if problems concerning safety, efficacy or quality of the product occur following approval. In addition, if there are any modifications to the drug, including any changes in indication, manufacturing process, labeling, delivery devices or manufacturing facility, an NDA supplement may be required to be submitted to the FDA. The FDA may also require post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the effects of approved products or place conditions on any approvals that could restrict the commercial applications of such products.

 

Approval of any NDA will also require us and the FDA to agree upon a package insert that will, among other things, identify possible side effects and specify contraindications. These restrictions could limit our ability to market Libracaine Dental.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

The Company is dependent on the proceeds of this Offering and may need to seek additional funds if the full offering amount is not raised. The Company is dependent on the proceeds of this Offering to maintain its operations and support its business growth. Even if the maximum offering amount is raised, we may require additional funds to maintain our operations and respond to business challenges and opportunities. Accordingly, we may need to engage in subsequent equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our existing Common Stock, including the shares being sold in this Offering. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. Such financing could also require us to pledge assets as security for borrowings. If we were to leverage our business by incurring significant debt, we may be required to devote a substantial portion of our cash flow to service that indebtedness. This could require us to modify our business plan, for example, by delaying the launch of our product. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, the Company may have to significantly reduce its operations or delay, scale back or discontinue the development of one or more of its products, seek alternative financing arrangements, declare bankruptcy or terminate its operations entirely.

 

There is currently no public market for our Common Stock, and a public market for our Common Stock may never develop.

 

There is no formal marketplace for the resale of our Common Stock. The shares may be traded over-the-counter to the extent any demand exists. These securities are illiquid and there will not be an official current price for them, as there would be if we were a publicly-traded company with a listing on a stock exchange. Investors should assume that they may not be able to liquidate their investment for some time, or be able to pledge their shares as collateral. Since we have not established a trading forum for the Common Stock, there will be no easy way to know what the Common Stock is “worth” at any time. Even if we were to eventually list on Nasdaq or seek a quotation on the “OTCQX” or the “OTCQB” markets, there may not be frequent trading and therefore no market price for the Common Stock.

 

The Securities of the Company cannot be transferred except in compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Shareholder Agreement, as amended. The Securities of the Company cannot be transferred except in compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Shareholder Agreement, as amended. Specifically, each investor and Key Holder, by execution of the Shareholder Agreement, as amended, agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of any Common Stock unless and until certain conditions are met, including notification to the Company.

 

Further, the Securities are subject to Drag Along rights and Tag Along rights set forth in the Shareholder Agreement, as amended that investors in this Offering will become a party to. Additional information describing the rights can be found in the section titled “Securities Being Offered.” 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, or require you and third party transferees to incur additional costs to effectuate a share transfer. Further, transferees will be required to sign onto the same agreements as the original inves and will also be subject to the restrictions in those agreements.  Accordingly, the market price for our Common Stock could be adversely affected.

Voting control is in the hands of a few large stockholders. Voting control is concentrated in the hands of a small number of stockholders. Our CEO currently holds approximately 44.61% of our Common Stock and he has proxies for the voting control of the shares held by his wife and son currently giving him of 84.80% of our outstanding shares and will continue either though ownership or proxies have voting control after this Offering. See “Ownership and Capital Structure.” Therefore, you will not be able to influence our policies or any other corporate matter, including the election of directors, changes to our ’s governance documents, expanding the employee option pool, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major action requiring stockholder approval. Our CEO is able to make all major decisions regarding the .

 

Any valuation at this stage is difficult to assess. This is a fixed price Offering, which means that the Offering price for the offered shares is fixed and will not vary based on the underlying value of our assets at any time. Our board of directors has determined the Offering price in its sole discretion without the input of an investment bank or other third party. The fixed Offering price for the offered shares has not been based on appraisals of any assets we own or may own, or of our as a whole, nor do we intend to obtain such appraisals. Therefore, the fixed Offering price established for the offered shares may not be supported by the current value of our or our assets at any particular time.

 

There is no minimum amount set as a condition to closing this Offering. Because this is a “best efforts” Offering with no minimum, we will have access to any funds tendered. This might mean that any investment made could be the only investment in this Offering, leaving the Company without adequate capital to pursue its business plan or even to cover the expenses of this Offering.

 

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 agreements, including any claims made under the federal securities laws. By signing these agreements, 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.

 

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 agreements, 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, the voting agreement, the investors’ rights agreement and the right of first refusal and co-sale agreement. You should consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the subscription agreement, the voting agreement, the investors’ rights agreement and the right of first refusal and co-sale agreement.

 

If you bring a claim against the Company in connection with matters arising under any of the agreements, 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 any of the agreements, 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 relevant jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of any of the agreements with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the subscription agreement, the voting agreement, the investors’ rights agreement or the right of first refusal and co-sale 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.

 

The subscription agreement has forum selection provisions that require 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 any of the agreements. 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 provisions apply to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions 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. These forum selection provisions may limit your ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.   Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions 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.

 

Using a credit card to purchase Shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment. Investors in this Offering have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card, which is not usual in the traditional investment markets. Transaction fees charged by your credit card Company (which can reach 5% of transaction value if considered a cash advance) and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach almost 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the shares you buy. See “Plan of Distribution.” The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. Using a credit card is a relatively new form of payment for securities and will subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment, including that, if you fail to make credit card payments (e.g. minimum monthly payments), you risk damaging your credit score and payment by credit card may be more susceptible to abuse than other forms of payment. Moreover, where a third-party payment processor is used, as in this Offering, your recovery options in the case of disputes may be limited. The increased costs due to transaction fees and interest may reduce the return on your investment.

 

The SEC’s Office of investor Education and Advocacy issued an investor Alert dated February 14, 2018 entitled: Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment.

DILUTION

 

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 compares the price that new investors are paying for their shares with the effective cash price paid by existing shareholders, giving effect to full conversion of all outstanding convertible notes and assuming that the shares are sold at $4.00 per share. The schedule 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 ’s insiders than just including such transactions for the last 12 months, which is what the SEC requires.

 

The following table presents the approximate effective cash price paid for all shares and potential shares issuable by the Company as of December 31, 2021.

The following table illustrates the dilution that new investors will experience upon investment in the  relative to existing holders of its securities. Because this calculation is based on the net tangible assets of the Company, the Company is calculating based on its net tangible book value of $1,613,222  as of December 31, 2021, as included in its audited financial statements.

 

The Offering costs assumed in the following table includes up to $250,000 in commissions as well as marketing, technology, legal, accounting, and Edgarization fees incurred for this Offering.

 

The table presents four scenarios for the convenience of the reader: a $5,000,000 raise from this Offering, a $7,500,000 raise from this Offering, a $15,000,000 raise from this Offering, and a fully subscribed $25,000,000 raise from this Offering (the maximum offering).

(2)Assumes 1,070,000 options are exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $0.50 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 crowdfunding 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 often 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 2019 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 2021, 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 number 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.

Principal Products

 

Our principal products are buffered injectable local anesthetics that we are developing in response to a need in the dental and medical professions for an improved injectable local anesthetic that is faster-acting, more reliable, and less painful upon injection.

 

Currently available local anesthetic drugs contain acid as a preservative. Although the acid is necessary for adequate shelf life, it also makes the injection more painful, slower acting, and less reliable. Neutralizing the acid (“Buffering”) reduces the pain, hastens the onset, and provides anesthesia more reliably, but current Buffering methods require manual mixing of the drugs by clinicians, which adds time, expense, and the risk of dosage errors. For this reason, Buffering has not been widely adopted, particularly in dentistry, and we believe a more efficient and economical solution has long been sought by the healthcare community.

 

BPI owns patent-pending technology that enables delivery of a buffered drug from a standard dental cartridge or medical vial. We are currently focused on our initial product, Libracaine Dental, which is being developed as a new pH-balanced anesthetic, supplied in a standard 1.7 ml dental cartridge that will require no change in protocol and no new equipment.

Principal Market & Method of Distribution

 

During 2019 we estimate that dental service providers purchased approximately 1.9 billion anesthetic cartridges per year worldwide, including 744 million in our targeted markets, which include North America, Europe, Japan, and South Korea.

 

We intend to sell Libracaine Dental wholesale to existing dental product distributors in North America, Europe, and Asia who currently sell dental anesthetic drug products to dental service providers. Current dental product distributors in North America, Europe, and Asia who currently sell dental anesthetic drug products include, but are not limited to:

 

Henry Schein,
Patterson Dental Company,
Benco,
Darby, and
Atlanta Dental Supply Company.

 

Dental product distributors re-sell products to dental service providers (mainly dentists), who are the end-users of the product. Our intention is that Libracaine Dental will be delivered to wholesalers (dental supply distributors) via logistical methods that are typical of pharmaceutical products, and particularly typical of dental local anesthetic products. We believe our product will be delivered to end-users (mainly dentists) by the distributors using routine logistical methods.

 

Product Status

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company has not commenced planned principal operations nor generated revenue. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted of formation activities, research and development, and capital raising efforts. Planned principal operations include manufacturing, marketing, and wholesale sales of Libracaine.

 

Libracaine Dental is currently in development and the Company is pursuing a new drug application (“NDA”) under Section 505(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”). We expect to submit our NDA application to the FDA in 2024, and, if we receive the requisite approval, launch our dental product in 2025. For more details on the process, see “Regulation” below.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, we have engaged in discussions with manufacturers to produce components, raw materials, automated machinery, and initial commercial batches of Libracaine. When timing permits, we intend to contract with pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities to produce Libracaine Dental at increasing scale and will consider acquisition of manufacturing lines or facilities if and when that becomes feasible.

 

Current Market & Competition

 

We believe the global market for injectable local dental anesthetics is dominated by the current generic, acidic (un-buffered) anesthetics lidocaine and articaine. We estimate that lidocaine and articaine account for approximately 90% of cartridges sold. Local anesthetic represents less than 0.5% of the total cost of the typical dental procedure.

 

Competitors who sell un-buffered injectable local anesthetic for routine dental procedures include:

 

Dentsply,
Septodont,
Inibsa,
Pierrel, and
3M.

 

Several large filling companies manufacture most of these cartridges, the largest of which is Septodont (France, Italy) which we believe fills about 600 million cartridges per year.  Other large filling companies include Inibsa (private, Spain) and Pierrel (public, Italy). We estimate that the current average retail price of generic un-buffered anesthetic cartridges in our target markets is $1.00.

 

15

 

 

 

Significant disadvantages to the un-buffered anesthetics include the longer waiting time and injection pain caused by the acid in the drug.

 

We are aware of two companies that currently offer products specifically intended to make Buffering more convenient for clinicians. These products are known as “physician-compounding” systems. We believe Libracaine Dental is a better product because Libracaine Dental will not require manual mixing of two components, which takes time, requires new equipment and protocols, and creates the possibility of incorrect drug mixing and resultant anesthetic failure, patient discomfort, or breach of sterility.

 

We are not aware of any companies that offer or plan to offer a pre-mixed, FDA approved, buffered local anesthetic for dentistry or medicine.

 

Pre-market surveys conducted by third party research firms suggest significant interest from dentists and patients in Libracaine Dental due to its ability to: (i) reduce pain when receiving an anesthesia, (ii) hasten the onset of the anesthesia, and (iii) provide anesthesia more reliably. We project that our dental product will add less than one percent to the cost of the procedure.

 

Regulation

 

Our products are injectable drugs, which are highly regulated in the United States and in our targeted foreign markets. Libracaine Dental is pursuing a new drug application under Section 505(b)(2) of the FDCA. The 505(b)(2) pathway with the FDA enables investigators and/or manufacturers to apply for an NDA without having to repeat the drug development work done for an innovator drug. 505(b)(2) submissions can be advantageous because they often lead to a faster route to approval when compared to traditional development pathways.

 

The 505(b)(2) pathway with the FDA enables investigators and/or manufacturers to apply for an NDA without having to repeat the drug development work done for an innovator drug. 505(b)(2) submissions can be advantageous because they often lead to a faster route to approval when compared to traditional development pathways.

 

In a Pre-Investigative New Drug Application (“PIND”) meeting held on November 17, 2021, FDA agreed that Balanced Pharma should pursue an abbreviated regulatory pathway known as 505(b)(2).

 

Because Libracaine Dental has only minor ingredient changes to an existing drug, we expect that the regulatory approval process will be significantly shorter and less expensive than for typical drug products

 

In addition, we believe that Libracaine Dental is eligible for this abbreviated regulatory process from the FDA or its counterparts in most of the other countries that we plan to do business.

 

The Libracaine Dental product was designated a drug, and not a combination product, by the Office of Combination Products within the FDA on November 3, 2020. However, Libracaine Dental may be considered a device or a combination product in other countries or jurisdictions, including but not limited to, North America, Europe, Japan, and South Korea.

 

We currently do not plan to seek FDA or other regulatory approval for marketing and label claims for our products beyond the claims for Xylocaine 2% with Epinephrine 1:100,000 Dental. Nonetheless, we recognize that additional marketing claims, if we were able to prove them, might allow us to generate higher revenue, and for that reason, we may in the future decide to conduct clinical trials to demonstrate those claims. This would require a significant investment of financial and organizational resources and incur significant risks including the risk of results that suggest less efficacy, less safety, or no evidence of greater efficacy, any of which could have a material adverse effect upon product sales, revenue, and profitability.

 

Sales and Marketing Strategy

 

Based upon market research conducted in 2021 by a third party hired by the Company, we believe that there is a market for a convenient, economical, buffered version of lidocaine for dental procedures in both the United States and in our targeted foreign markets.

 

16

 

 

Our intent is to initially introduce Libracaine Dental in the United States, using marketing and sales strategy and tactics that are standard for dental products, followed by adjustments to optimize the strategies and tactics after acquisition of post-launch sales data.

 

Outside of the U.S., we intend that our commercialization models will be different in each jurisdiction. We generally plan to commercialize in EU and UK either concurrently or as soon as possible after commercialization in the United States but have not developed any detailed strategies or tactics as of the date of this Offering Circular.

 

Our current average wholesale price target is approximately $3.00 per cartridge of Libracaine, but we have not developed extensive or sufficient pricing data to make any conclusion about the ideal price at this time. We intend to launch our dental product in 2025.

 

Other Potential Products

 

Libracaine Medical

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 Offering Circular. 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.

 

Overview

 

Balanced Pharma is a pharmaceutical development and manufacturing developing products enabled by dual-chambered drug container technology, with an initial focus on an improved injectable local anesthetic for use in dental procedures.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had not commenced planned principal manufacturing and sales operations, nor generated revenue. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted of formation activities, research and development, and capital raising efforts. Once the Company commences its planned principal operations, it will incur significant additional expenses related to manufacturing and product marketing and sales. The Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for the commencement of its planned principal operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties; including failing to secure funding to operationalize the Company’s planned operations or failing to profitably operate the business.

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company is pre-revenue. Total operating expenses consist of general and administrative, research and development and sales and marketing. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 total operating expenses were $900,980 compared to $84,189 for the period from inception (September 1, 2020) to December 31, 2020, an increase of $816,791. There was approximately a $316,000 increase in general and administrative costs, $158,305 was spent on research and development compared to $0 for the period ended December 31, 2020 and $342,272 was spent on sales and marketing related efforts compared to $0 for the period ended December 31, 2020. The increases were primarily due to Company activity not beginning until inception on September 1, 2020.

 

As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a net loss of $900,980 for the period ended December 31, 2021, and a net loss of $84,189 from inception on September 1, 2020 until December 31, 2020.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash on hand was $1,616,810. The Company ’s operations have been financed to date by funds raised from equity financings.

 

The Company expects that the net proceeds of a maximum offering, together with the proceeds of funds raised from additional equity financings will satisfy the ’s cash requirements for the next 12 months.  In order to continue as a going concern after that time, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations, the may need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through: (i) borrowings, (ii) the sale of Common Stock, including in this Regulation A Offering and (iii) additional Regulation D offerings.

 

No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the . Even if the is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of an equity financing.

 

19

 

 

Plan of Operation

 

The Company intends to execute the following milestones over the course of the next 12 months:

 

Product Development of Libracaine Dental

oComplete any necessary studies and documentation required to support an application for product approval.

 

Manufacturing

oFabricate component tooling for Libracaine Dental cartridge.

oDesign & fabricate manufacturing lines & processes.

oManufacture initial commercial (registration) batches of Libracaine Dental.

 

Marketing & Disease Awareness

oDevelop high level marketing & sales plans & organization.

oInitiate disease awareness campaign & recruit key opinion leaders.

 

Intellectual Property

oContinue to prosecute patent portfolio & obtain granted patent claims

 

Finance

oRaise additional capital to support ongoing operations.

 

Trend Information

 

BPI believes the following are the most important trends that should continue to shape the dental anesthetic market:

 

According to the CDC, only 64.9% of adults and 85.9% of children saw a dentist in 2019, the last year for which numbers are available.

 

According, to the US National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health 36% of the population experiences dental anxiety, and approximately 22% of people  report avoiding going to the dentist because of fear.

 

We believe these underserved populations present an opportunity for BPI to help grow the dental market as it is BPI’s goal to make local anesthetic injections more comfortable and efficient for dentists, physicians, and their patients.

 

COVID-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the United States. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. However, we believe the impact of COVID-19 on the dental industry as a whole was temporary and further believe that a rapid recovery is underway. Specifically, according to the American Dental Association, (“ADA”) who tracking the dental industry weekly as of the week of December 13, 2021, 60.7% of dental practitioners respondents reported that their practices were open and busy. 38% said they were open but had fewer patient appointments than usual, while only 1% reported that their practices were closed as a result of the pandemic. We expect a full return to normalcy as the effects of the pandemic wane.

It is ultimately the responsibility of the Company as to whether to accept the recommendations of Dalmore with respect to compliance with written communications.
Provide, or coordinate the provision by a third party, of an “invest now” payment processing mechanism, including connection to a qualified escrow agent.

 

As compensation for the services listed above, the Company has agreed to pay Dalmore a commission equal to 1% of the amount raised in the Offering to support the Offering on all newly invested funds after the issuance of a No Objection Letter by FINRA. In addition, the Company has paid Dalmore a $5,000 one-time advance expense allowance to cover reasonable out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by Dalmore in connection with this Offering. Dalmore will refund any amount related to this expense allowance to the extent it is not used, incurred or provided to the Company. The Company has also agreed to pay Dalmore a one-time consulting fee of $20,000 to provide ongoing general consulting services relating to this Offering such as coordination with third party vendors and general guidance with respect to the Offering, which will be due and payable within 30 days after this Offering is qualified by the Commission and the receipt of a No Objection Letter from FINRA.  Assuming the Offering is fully-subscribed, the Company estimates that total fees due to pay Dalmore, including the one-time advance expense allowance fee of $5,000 and consulting fee of $20,000, would be $275,000.

Process of Subscribing

 

After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Commission, the Company will accept tenders of funds to purchase shares. The Company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). Investors may subscribe by tendering funds by check, wire transfer, credit or debit card or ACH transfer. Investor funds will be processed through Stripe, Inc. Funds will be held in a segregated operating account owned by the Company. Dalmore will have view access to the account for purposes of verifying activity. Funds will remain in the segregated account until the subscription agreement has been cleared and countersigned by the Company. Funds then be released to the Company will be net funds (investment less payment for processing fees and a holdback equivalent to 5% for 90 days).

 

Investors will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest. The subscription agreement includes a representation by the investor to the effect that, if the investor is not an “accredited investor” as defined under securities law, the investor is investing an amount that does not exceed the greater of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth (excluding the investor’s principal residence).

 

Any potential investor will have ample time to review the subscription agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision. Dalmore will review all subscription agreements completed by the investor. After Dalmore has completed its review of a subscription agreement for an investment in the Company, the funds may be released by the escrow agent.

 

If the subscription agreement is not complete or there is other missing or incomplete information, the funds will not be released until the investor provides all required information. In the case of a debit card payment, provided the payment is approved, Dalmore will have up to three days to ensure all the documentation is complete. Dalmore will generally review all subscription agreements on the same day, but not later than the day after the submission of the subscription agreement.

 

All funds tendered (by check, wire, credit or debit card, or electronic funds transfer via ACH to the specified account or deliver evidence of cancellation of debt) by investors will be deposited into an escrow account at the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Company. All funds received by wire transfer will be made available immediately while funds transferred by ACH will be restricted for a minimum of three days to clear the banking system prior to deposit into segregated operating account owned by the Company.

 

The Company maintains the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason, including, but not limited to, in the event that an investor fails to provide all necessary information, even after further requests from the Company, in the event an investor fails to provide requested follow up information to complete background checks or fails background checks, and in the event the Company receives oversubscriptions in excess of the maximum offering amount.

 

In the interest of allowing interested investors as much time as possible to complete the paperwork associated with a subscription, the Company has not set a maximum period of time to decide whether to accept or reject a subscription. If a subscription is rejected, funds will not be accepted by wire transfer or ACH, and payments made by debit card or check will be returned to subscribers within 30 days of such rejection without deduction or interest. Upon acceptance of a subscription, the Company will send a confirmation of such acceptance to the subscriber.

 

Dalmore has not investigated the desirability or advisability of investment in the Common Stock, nor approved, endorsed or passed upon the merits of purchasing the Common Stock. Dalmore is not participating as an underwriter and under no circumstance will it recommend the Company’s securities or provide investment advice to any prospective investor, or make any securities recommendations to investors. Dalmore is not distributing any offering circulars or making any oral representations concerning this Offering Circular or this Offering. Based upon Dalmore’s anticipated limited role in this Offering, it has not and will not conduct extensive due diligence of this Offering and no investor should rely on the involvement of Dalmore in this offering as any basis for a belief that it has done extensive due diligence. Dalmore does not expressly or impliedly affirm the completeness or accuracy of the Offering Statement and/or Offering Circular presented to investors by the Company. All inquiries regarding this offering should be made directly to the Company.

 

29

 

 

Upon confirmation that an investor’s funds have cleared, the Company will instruct the Transfer Agent to issue shares to the investor. The Transfer Agent will notify an investor when shares are ready to be issued and the Transfer Agent has set up an account for the investor.

 

No Escrow

 

The proceeds of this Offering will not be placed into an escrow account. We will offer our Common Stock on a best efforts basis. As there is no minimum offering amount, upon the clearance of any subscription to this Offering Circular, the Company shall immediately deposit said proceeds into the bank account of the Company and may dispose of the proceeds in accordance with the Use of Proceeds.

 

Provisions of Note in Our Subscription Agreement

 

Jury Trial Waiver

 

The subscription agreement 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 subscription agreement, including any claim under federal securities laws.  By signing the subscription agreement an investor will be agreeing to be bound by the terms of the other agreements and the 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 in the subscription agreement, 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 Provisions

 

The subscription agreement includes a forum selection provision that require any claims against the Company based on these agreements 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 agreements. Although we believe these provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which they apply and in limiting our litigation costs, to the extent they are enforceable, these forum selection provisions 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 these provisions 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 provisions apply to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such 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

To the Board of Directors of

Balanced Pharma Inc.

Cornelius, NC

 

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Balanced Pharma Inc. (the “Company”) which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from September 1, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company sustained a net loss of $900,980 and $84,189 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from September 1, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $985,168 as of December 31, 2021. The Company has not yet generated recognized revenues and incurred operating expenses of $900,980 and $84,189 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the period from September 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, respectively. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

 

·Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

·Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

·Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

·Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

·Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Balanced Pharma Inc. (the “Company”) is a corporation formed on September 1, 2020 under the laws of Delaware. The Company is a pharmaceutical development and manufacturing company attempting to make anesthesia more comfortable for dental patients all over the world. The Company is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.

 

The Company’s initial product, Libracaine, is a pH-balanced local anesthetic for use in dental procedures. Libracaine is in development and the Company is pursuing a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (“NDA”), which is a streamlined process in which the applicant relies upon one or more investigations conducted by someone other than the applicant. The 505(b)(2) pathway enables investigators and/or manufacturers to apply for approval without having to repeat all the drug development work done for an innovator drug. 505(b)(2) submissions can be advantageous because they often lead to a faster route to approval when compared to traditional development pathways.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not commenced planned principal operations nor generated revenue. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted of formation activities, research and development, and capital raising efforts. Once the Company commences its planned principal operations, it will incur significant additional expenses. The Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for the commencement of its planned principal operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties; including failing to secure funding to operationalize the Company’s planned operations or failing to profitably operate the business.

 

2.GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

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 has not generated profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $900,980 and $84,189 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $985,168. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or to obtain additional capital financing. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. 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.

 

3.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’s fiscal year is December 31.

 

Stock Split

 

On January 26, 2022, the Company effectuated a 2,000-for-1 forward stock split of its issued and outstanding common shares (see Note 9). Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect this stock split.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuations of common stock and stock options. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

See accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report

BALANCED PHARMA, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company is subject to customary risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, the need for protection of proprietary technology of its product, dependence on key personnel, cost of services provided by third parties and the need to obtain additional funds through the sale of its common stock. The Company has not generated revenues and has not been granted a license or been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to produce and sell its drug. There are no assurances that this approval will be given or obtained.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were held at one accredited financial institution. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $1,366,810 and $203,527, respectively, in excess of insured amounts.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

 

·Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

·Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

 

The carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities approximate their fair values.

 

Subscription Receivable

 

The Company records stock issuances at the effective date. If the contribution is not funded upon issuance, the Company records a subscription receivable as an asset on a balance sheet. When subscription receivables are not received prior to the issuance of financial statements at a reporting date in satisfaction of the requirements under FASB ASC 505-10-45-2, the contributed capital is reclassified as a contra account to stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company has applied for a patent and is in the process of seeking a patent, however no patent has been granted. The examination of its patent and related documentation is under review and subject to ongoing examination. No assurance of said patents being granted can be made. Certain legal costs have been capitalized. Should a patent not be granted the costs would need to be written off thus increasing the accumulated losses to date. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $79,536 and $17,555, respectively, in patent costs were included as intangible assets on the balance sheets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. To date, no revenue has been recognized.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expended as incurred.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and payroll-related benefits and taxes, stock-based compensation, professional services, administrative expenditures, and information technology.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Costs related to development of the Company’s products are included in research and development expenses and are expensed as incurred.

 

Concentrations

 

The Company is dependent on third-party vendors to supply products for research and development activities. In particular, the Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of vendors. The loss of one of these vendors may have a negative short-term impact on the Company’s operations; however, the Company believes there are acceptable substitute vendors that can be utilized longer-term.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The Company measures all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and non-employee consultants based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. For awards with service-based vesting conditions, the Company records the expense for using the straight-line method. For awards with performance-based vesting conditions, the Company records the expense if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

 

The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its statement of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company historically has been a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on common stock and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions. 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.

 

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 not be realized. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our 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 will be 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.

 

Net 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 loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each year. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 consist of outstanding options (Note 5).

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this new standard on our financial reporting and disclosures.

 

See accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report

BALANCED PHARMA, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 eliminates the separate accounting model for nonemployee share-based payment awards and generally requires companies to account for share-based payment transactions with nonemployees in the same way as share-based payment transactions with employees. The accounting remains different for attribution, which represents how the equity-based payment cost is recognized over the vesting period, and a contractual term election for valuing nonemployee equity share options. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 upon inception and does not believe the adoption had a material impact on the financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606, providing new revenue recognition guidance that superseded existing revenue recognition guidance. The update, as amended, requires the recognition of revenue related to the transfer of goods or services to customers reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, as well as additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures about revenues. The Company adopted the new revenue recognition guidance upon inception and does not believe the adoption had a material impact on the financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), simplifying Accounting for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 removes the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, the amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to defer and recognize as an asset. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. For all other entities, the amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is still in the process of evaluating the new standard but expects it to be non-significant to the financial statements. We have not early adopted this standard.

 

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity, and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

 

4.STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company's certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated, authorized the Company to issue 12,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. In January 2022, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of authorized shares to 30,000,000 shares of common stock (see Note 9).

 

Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders for a vote. Common stockholders are entitled to receive dividends, as may be declared by the board of directors. Through December 31, 2021 and 2020, no cash dividends have been declared or paid.

5.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Balanced Pharma, Inc. 2020 Stock Plan

 

The Company has adopted the Balanced Pharma, Inc. 2020 Stock Option Plan (“2020 Plan”), as amended and restated, which provides for the grant of shares of stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted common shares to employees, non-employee directors, and non-employee consultants. The number of shares authorized by the 2020 Plan was 1,596,000 shares as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. In connection with the stock split in January 2022, the Board increased the number of shares reserved for issuance to 2,963,684 shares.

 

The option exercise price generally may not be less than the underlying stock’s fair market value at the date of the grant and generally have a term of ten years. The amounts granted each calendar year to an employee or non-employee is limited depending on the type of award. Stock options comprise all of the awards granted since the 2020 Plan’s inception. As of December 31, 2021, there were 26,000 shares available for grant under the 2020 Plan. Stock options granted under the 2020 Plan typically vest over periods of immediate to two years, and one grant with milestone based vesting four-year period on a monthly basis.

 

A summary of information related to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The following table presents, on a weighted average basis, the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant-date fair value of stock options granted:

 

  

Year Ended

December 31, 2020

 
   Time-
Based
  

Performance-

Based

 
Risk-free interest rate   0.51%   0.89%
Expected term (in years)   6.10    10.00 
Expected volatility   75.00%   75.00%
Expected dividend yield   0%   0%

 

In November 2020, the Company granted 800,000 options to purchase common stock with a fair value of $449,599 to a research and development vendor with performance-based vesting conditions. As of December 31, 2021, the Company determined that no performance conditions have been met and therefore no stock-based compensation expense was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.

 

The total grant-date fair value of the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $839,707. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options of $324,847 and $42,829 was recognized under FASB ASC 718 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and included in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.

 

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested time and performance stock option awards amounted to $9,802 and $449,599, respectively. Unrecognized compensation for time-based options will be recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

6.INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate primarily to cash to accrual differences, stock-based compensation expense, research and development and net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance of $211,952 and $19,342, respectively. The following table presents the deferred tax assets and liabilities by source:

 

   December 31, 
   2021   2020 
Deferred tax assets:          
Net operating loss carryforwards  $133,849   $2,307 
Cash to accrual differences   (6,371)   7,195 
Stock-based compensation   84,474    9,840 
Valuation allowance   (211,952)   (19,342)
Net deferred tax assets  $-   $- 

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. The Company assessed the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and determined a full valuation allowance is required due to taxable losses for the years ended 2021 and 2020, cumulative losses through December 31, 2021, and no history of generating taxable income. Therefore, valuation allowances of $211,952 and $19,342 were recorded as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Valuation allowance increased by $192,610 and $19,342 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Deferred tax assets were calculated using the Company’s combined effective tax rate, which it estimated to be 23.0%. The effective rate is reduced to 0% for 2021 and 2020 due to the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

 

See accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report

 

F-14

 

 

BALANCED PHARMA, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards will depend on its ability to generate adequate future taxable income. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income in the amounts of $582,587 and $10,043, respectively.

 

The Company has evaluated its income tax positions and has determined that it does not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to any uncertain tax positions through its income tax expense.

 

The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception, other than minimum state tax. The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction, though its 2020-2021 tax years remain open to examination.

 

7.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On October 31, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 18,404,000 shares of common stock at par value to its founder and wife in exchange contributed intellectual property, consisting of a patent and related trademark held by a company owned solely by the founder.

 

8.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company may be subject to pending legal proceedings and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, but the Company does not anticipate that the final outcome, if any, arising out of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

9.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On January 26, 2022, the Company effectuated a 2,000-for-1 forward stock split of its issued and outstanding common shares. The Company also increased its authorized shares to 30,000,000 shares of common stock and increased its option pool to authorize 2,963,684 shares.

 

In January 2022, the Company granted 240,000 options to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through February 11, 2022, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional material events were identified which require adjustment or disclosure in these financial statements.

Exhibit 1.1

 

 

Broker-Dealer Agreement

 

This agreement (together with exhibits and schedules, the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Balanced Pharma Incorporated (“Client”), a Delaware Corporation, and Dalmore Group, LLC., a New York Limited Liability Company (“Dalmore”). Client and Dalmore agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, effective as of January 10, 2022 (the “Effective Date”):

 

WHEREAS, Dalmore is a registered broker-dealer providing services in the equity and debt securities market, including offerings conducted via exemptions from registration with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”);

 

WHEREAS, Client is offering securities directly to the public in an offering exempt from registration under Regulation A (the “Offering”); and

 

WHEREAS, Client recognizes the benefit of having Dalmore as a broker dealer of record and service provider for investors who participate in the Offering (collectively, the “Investors”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Appointment, Term, and Termination.

 

a.Services. Client hereby engages Dalmore to perform the services listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, in connection with the Offering (the “Services”). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, the services to be performed by Dalmore are limited to those Services.

 

b.Term. The Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in effect for a period of twelve (12) months and will renew automatically for successive renewal terms of twelve (12) months each unless any party provides notice to the other party of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the current term. If Client defaults in performing the obligations under this Agreement, the Agreement may be terminated (i) upon thirty (30) days written notice if Client fails to perform or observe any material term, covenant or condition to be performed or observed by it under this Agreement and such failure continues to be unremedied, (ii) upon written notice, if any material representation or warranty made by Client proves to be incorrect at any time in any material respect, or (iii) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice if Client or Dalmore commences a voluntary proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief, or is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or has entered against it a final and unappealable order for relief, under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or either party executes and delivers a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

2.Compensation. As compensation for the Services, Client shall pay to Dalmore the following fees:

 

a.a fee equal to one percent (1%) on the aggregate amount raised by the Client (the “Offering Fee”). The Offering Fee shall only be payable after the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) department of Corporate Finance issues a no objection letter (the “No Objection Letter”) for the Offering. Client authorizes Dalmore to deduct the Offering Fee directly from the Client’s third-party escrow or payment account.

 

b.a one-time expense fee of five thousand ($5,000) for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Dalmore (the “Expense Fee”). The Expense Fee is due and payable upon execution of this Agreement. The Expense Fee shall cover expenses anticipated to be incurred by the firm such as FINRA filings and any other expenses incurred by Dalmore in connection with the Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dalmore will refund to the Client any portion of the Expense Fee that remains unused.

 

c.A one-time consulting fee of twenty thousand ($20,000) (the “Consulting Fee”), of which $10,000 is due and payable within five (5) days of receipt of the No Objection Letter and $10,000 is due and payable within sixty (60) days of receipt of the No Objection Letter . In the event the Consulting Fee is not paid within the timeframe specified in this Section 2(c), interest shall accrue at a rate of ten percent (10%), and the unpaid shall be referred to collections. In the event the Consulting Fee is not paid by the first closing, Client authorizes Dalmore to deduct the Consulting Fee directly from the Client’s third-party escrow or payment account upon the first closing.

 

3.Regulatory Compliance

 

a.Client and all its third-party providers shall at all times (i) maintain all required registrations and licenses, including foreign qualification, if necessary; and (iii) pay all related fees and expenses (including all fees associated with FINRA filings), in each case that are necessary or appropriate to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.

  c. Client and Dalmore agree to promptly notify the other concerning any material communications from or with any Governmental Authority or Self-Regulatory Organization with respect to this Agreement or the performance of its obligations unless such notification is expressly prohibited by the applicable Governmental Authority.

 

4.             Role of Dalmore. Client acknowledges and agrees that Dalmore’s sole responsibilities in connection with an Offering are set forth on Exhibit A, and that Dalmore is strictly acting in an administrative and compliance capacity as the broker dealer of record, and is not being engaged by the Client to act as an underwriter or placement agent in connection with the Offering. Dalmore will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Services. Dalmore (i) makes no representations with respect to the quality of any investment opportunity; (ii) does not guarantee the performance of any Investor; (iii) is not soliciting or approaching investors in connection with the Offering, (iv) is not an investment adviser, does not provide investment advice and does not recommend securities transactions, (v) in performing the Services is not making any recommendation as to the appropriateness, suitability, legality, validity or profitability of the Offering, and (vi) does not take any responsibility for any documentation created and used in connection with the Offering.

Client shall indemnify and hold Dalmore, its affiliates and their representatives and agents harmless from, any and all actual or direct losses, liabilities, judgments, arbitration awards, settlements, damages and costs (collectively, “Losses”), resulting from or arising out of any third party suits, actions, claims, demands or similar proceedings (collectively, “Proceedings”) to the extent they are based upon (i) a breach of this Agreement by Client, (ii) the wrongful acts or omissions of Client, or (iii) the Offering.

Without limiting the preceding sentence, each party shall use at least the same degree of care in safeguarding the other party’s Confidential Information as it uses to safeguard its own Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose Confidential Information (i) if required to do by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that such party shall notify the other party in writing promptly upon receipt of knowledge of such order so that such other party may attempt to prevent such disclosure or seek a protective order; or (ii) to any applicable governmental authority as required by applicable law. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit the SEC, FINRA, or other government official or entities from obtaining, reviewing, and auditing any information, records, or data. Client acknowledges that regulatory record-keeping requirements, as well as securities industry best practices, require Dalmore to maintain copies of practically all data, including communications and materials, regardless of any termination of this Agreement.

7.             Notices. Any notices required by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be addressed, and delivered or mailed postage prepaid, or faxed or emailed to the other parties hereto at such addresses as such other parties may designate from time to time for the receipt of such notices.

General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware)

 

Balanced Pharma Incorporated, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law),

 

DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:

 

1.            That the name of this corporation is Balanced Pharma Incorporated, and that this corporation was originally incorporated pursuant to the General Corporation Law on September 1, 2020.

 

2.          That the Board of Directors duly adopted resolutions proposing to amend and restate the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation, declaring said amendment and restatement to be advisable and in the best interests of this corporation and its stockholders, and authorizing the appropriate officers of this corporation to solicit the consent of the stockholders therefor, which resolution setting forth the proposed amendment and restatement is as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

FIRST: The name of the corporation is Balanced Pharma Incorporated (the “Corporation”).

 

SECOND: The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 251 Little Falls Drive, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Zip Code 19808, and the name of the registered agent is Corporation Service Company.

 

THIRD: The purpose for which the Corporation is organized is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”).

 

Upon the effective date of the filing of this First Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, all of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time this First Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation becomes effective shall be automatically reclassified and changed (without any further act) with the result that each one (1) issued and outstanding share of Common Stock shall be split into and shall become two thousand (2,000) shares of Common Stock (such reclassification and change hereinafter referred to as the “Stock Split”). Each stock certificate that immediately prior to the Stock Split represented shares of Common Stock (“Old Certificates”), shall, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, thereafter represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been subdivided as set forth in the foregoing sentence.

 

 

 

 

FIFTH: The number of Directors of the Corporation may be fixed by the Bylaws.

 

SIXTH: The Board of Directors of the Corporation has the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation.

EIGHTH: Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws of the Corporation may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

NINTH: No director of the Corporation shall have personal liability arising out of an action whether by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit or eliminate the liability of a director (a) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any successor provision, (d) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit, or (e) acts or omissions occurring prior to the date of the effectiveness of this provision.

 

Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing provision, if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended or enacted to permit further limitation or elimination of the personal liability of the director, the personal liability of the Corporation’s directors shall be limited or eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law.

 

This provision shall not affect any provision permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law in the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or contract or resolution of the Corporation indemnifying or agreeing to indemnify a director against personal liability. Any repeal or modification of this provision shall not adversely affect any limitation hereunder on the personal liability of the director with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

2.            Registered Office. The registered office of the Corporation required by law to be maintained in the State of Delaware may be, but need not be, identical with the principal office.

 

3.            Other Offices. The Corporation may have offices at such other places, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or as the affairs of the Corporation may require.

 

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

1.            Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation or at such other place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated in the notice of the meeting or agreed upon by the Board of Directors, the President or the Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as provided by law.

 

2.            Annual Meeting. Unless Directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting, the annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held on a date during the month of April and at a time (except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday) determined by the Board of Directors, for the purpose of electing Directors of the Corporation and for the transaction of such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting.

 

3.            Substitute Annual Meeting. If the annual meeting shall not be held in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 of this Article II, a substitute annual meeting may be called in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of this Article II. A meeting so called shall be designated and treated for all purposes as the annual meeting. The shares represented at such substitute annual meeting, either in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote thereat, shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of such meeting.

 

 

4.            Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time by the President, the Secretary or the Board of Directors of the Corporation, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.

 

5.            Notice of Meetings.

 

(a)            Written or printed notice stating the time and place, if any, of the meeting and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date thereof, by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, President, Secretary or other person calling the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to stockholders, any notice shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to (in a manner consistent with the Delaware General Corporation Law) by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed given at the time specified in Section 232 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the record of stockholders of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

 

(b)            In the case of an annual or substitute annual meeting, the notice of meeting need not specifically state the business to be transacted thereat unless it is a matter, other than election of Directors, on which the vote of the stockholders is expressly required by the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In the case of a special meeting, the notice of meeting shall specifically state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

 

(c)            When a meeting is adjourned for thirty (30) days or more or when a new record date is fixed after the adjournment for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. When a meeting is adjourned for less than thirty (30) days in any one adjournment and a new record date is not fixed, it is not necessary to give any notice of the time and place (if any, or the means of remote communication, if any) of the adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted thereat other than by announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.

 

6.            Voting Lists. The Secretary shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders or the books of the corporation or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders and of the number of shares held by each such stockholder.

When a quorum is present at the original meeting, any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted at an adjourned meeting, even when a quorum is not present. In the absence of a quorum at the opening of any meeting of stockholders, such meeting may be adjourned from time to time by any officer entitled to preside at or act as secretary of such meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares voting on the motion to adjourn, but no other business may be transacted until and unless a quorum is present. If later a quorum is present at an adjourned meeting, then any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

(b)            The stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of sufficient stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

 

8.            Voting of Shares.

 

(a)           Unless otherwise provided by law or in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder      shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of capital stock of the Corporation held      by such stockholder on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

 

(b)            Except in the election of Directors, when a quorum is present at any meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders on that matter, unless a vote by a greater number is required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

 

(c)            Voting on all matters except the election of Directors shall be by voice vote or by a show of hands.

 

(d)            Shares of its own stock owned by the Corporation, directly or indirectly, through a subsidiary or otherwise, shall not be voted and shall not be counted in determining the total number of shares entitled to vote; except that shares held in a fiduciary capacity may be voted and shall be counted to the extent provided by law.

9.            Proxies. Shares may be voted either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy executed by the stockholder or by such stockholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact. A proxy is not valid after the expiration of three (3) years from the date of its execution, unless the person executing it specifies therein the length of time for which it is to continue in force or limits its use to a particular meeting. Proxies may be provided in any form or manner permitted by applicable law.

 

10.            Conduct of Meetings.

 

(a)            Chairman of Meeting. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the Chairman’s absence by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the Vice Chairman’s absence by the Chief Executive Officer (if one has been duly elected), or in the Chief Executive Officer’s absence by the President, or in the President’s absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of all of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen by vote of the stockholders at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the Secretary’s absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

 

(b)            Rules and Procedures. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate including, without limitation, such guidelines and procedures as it may deem appropriate regarding the participation by means of remote communication of stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules, regulations and procedures as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as shall be determined; (iv) restriction on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

11.            Informal Action by Stockholders.

 

(a)            Any action which is required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed and dated by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Such signed and dated consent must be delivered to the Corporation, whether done before or after the action so taken, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the earliest dated consent delivered in accordance with Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. When corporate action is taken without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent, prompt notice shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

 

(b)            Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, stockholders may act by written consent to elect directors; provided, however, that, if such consent is less than unanimous, such action by written consent may be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by such action.

 

(c)            Electronic Transmission of Consents. A telegram, cablegram, or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine (i) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on delivery, consents given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission may be otherwise delivered to the principal place of business of the Corporation or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the Board of Directors. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

Except as provided in Section 5 of this Article III and unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting, the Directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, election of Directors shall be by written ballot. Any requirement of a written ballot shall be satisfied by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxyholder.

 

4.            Removal; Resignation. Directors may be removed from office with or without cause by a vote of stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of Directors. If a director is elected by a voting group of stockholders, only the stockholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove him. If any Directors are so removed, new Directors may be elected at the same meeting. Any Director may resign by delivering a resignation in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation at its principal office or to the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some later time or upon the happening of some later time or upon the happening of some later event.

 

5.            Vacancies. A vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors, including, without limitation, a vacancy created by an increase in the authorized number of Directors or resulting from the stockholders’ failure to elect the full authorized number of Directors, may be filled by a vote of a majority of the Directors then in office or, if the Directors remaining in office constitute less than a quorum of the Directors, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all remaining Directors or by the sole remaining Director. If the vacant office was held by a Director elected by a voting group, only the remaining Director or Directors elected by that voting group or the holders of shares of that voting group are entitled to fill the vacancy. A Director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of such Director’s predecessor in office. The stockholders may elect a Director at any time to fill any vacancy not filled by the Directors.

6.            Compensation. The Board of Directors may provide for the compensation of Directors for their services as such and may provide for the payment of any and all expenses incurred by the Directors in connection with such services.

 

7.            Committees.

 

(a)            The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Directors then in office, may designate one (1) or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Directors of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one (1) or more Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all of the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to (i) adopting, amending or repealing any bylaw of the Corporation, or (ii) approving or adopting, or recommending to the stockholders any action or matter expressly required by law to be submitted to stockholders for approval. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and make such reports to the Board of Directors as the Board of Directors may request. Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but, unless otherwise provided by the Directors or in such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these Bylaws for the conduct of the business of the Corporation by the Board of Directors.

 

(b)            Any resolutions adopted or other action taken by any such committee within the scope of the authority delegated to it by the Board of Directors shall be deemed for all purposes to be adopted or taken by the Board of Directors. The designation of any committee and the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any member thereof, of any responsibility or liability imposed upon it or him by law.

 

(c)            If a committee member is absent or disqualified, the qualified members present at a meeting, even if not a quorum, may unanimously appoint another Board of Directors member to act in the absent or disqualified member’s place.

 

(d)            Regular meetings of any such committee may be held without notice at such time and place as such committee may fix from time to time by resolution. Special meetings of any such committee may be called by any member thereof upon not less than two (2) days’ notice stating the place, date and hour of such meeting, which notice may be given by any usual means of communication. Any member of a committee may waive notice of any meeting, and no notice of any meeting need be given to any member thereof who attends in person. The notice of a committee meeting need not state the business proposed to be transacted at the meeting.

 

7

 

(e)            A majority of the members of any such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting thereof, and actions of such committee must be authorized by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of such committee.

 

(f)            Any member of any such committee may be removed at any time with or without cause by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors.

 

(g)            Any such committee shall elect a presiding officer from among its members and may fix its own rules of procedure which shall not be inconsistent with these Bylaws. It shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors for its information at the meeting thereof held next after the proceedings shall have been taken.

(a)            If the Corporation has elected Subchapter S status under Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, no stockholder or involuntary transferee shall dispose of or transfer any shares of the Corporation which such stockholder now owns or may hereafter acquire if such disposition or transfer would result in the termination of such Subchapter S status, unless such disposition or transfer is consented to by all stockholders of the Corporation. Any such disposition or transfer that does not comply with the terms of this Section 4 shall be void and have no legal force or effect and shall not be recognized on the share transfer books of the Corporation as effective.

 

(b)            No stockholder or involuntary transferee shall dispose of or transfer any shares of the Corporation which such stockholder now owns or may hereafter acquire except as set forth in this Section 4.

12

 

(d)            Any stockholder, or transferee of such stockholder, who wishes to transfer all or any part of such stockholder’s shares of the Corporation (hereinafter “offeror”), other than as permitted in subparagraph (c) above, first shall submit a written offer to sell such shares to the Corporation at the same price per share and upon the same terms and conditions offered by a bona fide prospective purchaser of such shares. Such written offer to the Corporation shall continue to be a binding offer to sell until: (i) rejected by the Corporation; or (ii) the expiration of a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of such written offer to the Corporation, whichever shall first occur.

 

(e)            Every written offer submitted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 shall specifically name the person to whom the offeror intends to transfer the shares, the number of shares which such offeror intends to transfer to each person and the price per share and other terms upon which each intended transfer is to be made. Upon the termination of all such written offers, the offeror shall be free to transfer, for a period of three (3) months thereafter, any unpurchased shares to the persons so named at the price per share and upon the other terms and conditions so named, provided, that any such transferee of those shares shall thereafter be bound by all of the provisions of these Bylaws.

 

(f)            Every written offer submitted to the Corporation shall be deemed to have been delivered when delivered to the principal office of the Corporation or if and when sent by prepaid certified mail, or delivered by hand to the President of the Corporation at the principal office of the Corporation.

 

(g)            If any consideration to be received by the offeror for the shares offered is property other than cash, then the price per share shall be measured to the extent of the fair market value of such noncash consideration.

 

(h)            The provisions contained herein shall not apply to the pledge of any shares of the Corporation as collateral for a loan but shall apply to the sale or other disposition of shares under any such pledge.

 

(i)            In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 4 of Article VII and any written agreement between the Corporation and any stockholder of the Corporation, the terms of such written agreement shall control, and the provisions of this Section shall not be applicable.

 

(j)            The restrictions set forth in this Section 4 shall terminate upon the closing of a public offering of securities of the Corporation registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

13

 

(k)            Every certificate representing shares of the Corporation shall bear a legend in substantially the following form prominently displayed:

 

  “The shares represented by this certificate, and the transfer thereof, are subject to the restrictions on transfer provisions of the Bylaws of the Corporation, a copy of which is on file in, and may be examined at, the principal office of the Corporation.”  

 

5.            Closing Transfer Books and Fixing Record Date.

 

(a)            For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, such record date shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. Such determination of stockholders of record shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

(b)            For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, such record date, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by this chapter, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is filed with the Secretary of the Corporation. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, such record date shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

 

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

 

14

 

6.            Lost Certificates. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of a new share certificate in place of a certificate claimed to have been lost or destroyed, upon receipt of an affidavit of such fact from the person claiming the loss or destruction. When authorizing such issuance of a new certificate, the Board of Directors may require the claimant to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct to indemnify the Corporation against loss from any claim with respect to the certificate claimed to have been lost or destroyed, or otherwise to indemnify the Corporation against such loss; or the Board of Directors may, by resolution reciting that the circumstances justify such action, authorize the issuance of the new certificate without requiring such a bond.

 

7.            Holder of Record. The Corporation may treat as absolute owner of the shares the person in whose name the shares stand of record on its books just as if that person had full competency, capacity and authority to exercise all rights of ownership irrespective of any knowledge or notice to the contrary or any description indicating a representative, pledge or other fiduciary relation or any reference to any other instrument or to the rights of any other person appearing upon its record or upon the share certificate; except that any person furnishing to the Corporation proof of his/her appointment as a fiduciary shall be treated as if he or she were a holder of record of the Corporation’s shares.

 

8.            Treasury Shares. Treasury shares of the Corporation shall consist of such shares as have been issued and thereafter acquired but not canceled by the Corporation. Treasury shares shall not carry voting or dividend rights, except rights in share dividends.

Exhibit 6.1

 

SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT

 

This Shareholders’ Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December ___, 2020, by and among Balanced Pharma Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the parties listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Investors”) and the parties listed on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Key Holders” and collectively, with the Investors, the “Shareholders”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.           The Investors have agreed to purchase from the Company, and the Company has agreed to sell to the Investors, shares of the Company’s capital stock.

 

B.            It is a condition to the closing of the sale of such shares that the parties hereto execute and deliver this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.            INFORMATION RIGHTS.

 

(a)            Basic Financial Information. Within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Company’s fiscal year end (beginning with fiscal year 2021), the Company will furnish to each Investor annual unaudited financial statements for the most recently completed fiscal year of the Company, including an unaudited balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows of the Company as of or for such year, as applicable. If the Company has audited records of any of the foregoing, it shall provide those in lieu of the unaudited versions.

 

(b)            Inspection.  The Company shall permit each Investor, its attorney or its other representative acting in good faith and with a proper purpose to examine the Company’s books of account and other records and to make copies or extracts therefrom, during the Company’s normal business hours as often as such Investor may reasonably request; provided, however, that such Investor, attorney or representative shall have provided at least five (5) business days advance written notice of the inspection request and shall bear any costs or expenses of such examinations.

 

(c)            Confidentiality. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Investor by reason of this Agreement shall have access to any trade secrets or confidential information of the Company. The Company shall not be required to comply with any information rights in respect of any Investor whom the Company reasonably determines to be a competitor or an officer, employee, director or holder of ten percent (10%) or more of a competitor. Each Investor agrees that such Investor will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) any confidential information obtained from the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement other than to any of the Investor’s attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals, to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring the Investor’s investment in the Company.

 

 

 

 

2.            RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Each Investor and Key Holder hereby agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of any Common Stock unless and until:

 

(a)            there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

 

(b)            such Investor or Key Holder, as applicable, shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, at the expense of such Investor or Key Holder, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the Securities Act.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2(a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be required: (i) for any transfer of any Common Stock in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, or (ii) for any transfer of any Common Stock by an Investor or Key Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, a corporation or a venture capital fund to (A) a partner of such partnership, a member of such limited liability company or shareholder of such corporation, (B) an affiliate of such partnership, limited liability company or corporation (including, without limitation, any affiliated investment fund of such Investor or Key Holder), (C) a retired partner of such partnership or a retired member of such limited liability company, (D) the estate of any such partner, member or shareholder, or (iii) for the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession by any Investor or Key Holder to his or her spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors or any trust for any of the foregoing; provided that in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Investor hereunder and in the case of clause (iii) the transfer was without additional consideration or at no greater than cost. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2 shall be deemed to conflict with or supersede the provisions of Section 4 of Article VII of the Company’s Bylaws.

 

3.            Participation RIGHT.

 

3.1            General. Each Investor has the right of first refusal to purchase such Investor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of all (or any part) of any New Securities (as defined in Section 3.2 below) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement, provided, however, such Investor shall have no right to purchase any such New Securities if such Investor cannot demonstrate to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such Investor is at the time of the proposed issuance of such New Securities an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. An Investor’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of this right of first refusal is the ratio of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Investor, to (b) a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the sum of (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company reserved for issuance under any stock purchase and stock option plans of the Company and outstanding warrants.

 

2

 

 

3.2            New Securities. “New Securities” shall mean any Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into such Common Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the term “New Securities” does not include shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that are: (a) issued or issuable in connection with a merger, acquisition or other strategic transaction approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”); (b) issued in connection with an equipment leasing, debt financing or similar transaction approved by the Board; (c) granted or issued hereafter (including options, warrants or rights therefor) to employees, officers or directors of the Company; or (d) issued or issuable by the Company to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.

 

3.3            Procedures. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give to each Investor a written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “Notice”), describing the type of New Securities and the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities given in accordance with Section 6.2. Each Investor shall have ten (10) days from the date such Notice is effective, as determined pursuant to Section 6.2 based upon the manner or method of notice, to agree in writing to purchase up to such Investor’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Investor’s Pro Rata Share).

 

3.4           Failure to Exercise. In the event that the Investors fail to exercise in full the right of first refusal within such ten (10) day period, then the Company shall have one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter to sell the New Securities with respect to which the Investors’ rights of first refusal hereunder were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s Notice to the Investors. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold the New Securities within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Investors pursuant to this Section 3.

 

4.            DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS.

 

4.1           General. If at any time the holders of at least a majority of the Common Stock (the “Dragging Holders”) decide to sell all or a portion of their shares of Common Stock to one or more third parties in a single transaction or series of related transactions and obtain Board approval therefor (a “Sale Transaction”), the Dragging Holders shall have the right (the “Drag-Along Right”), but not the obligation, to require all other holders of Common Stock (the “Compelled Holders”) to sell up to the same proportion of their shares of Common Stock to the transferee in such Sale Transaction on the same terms and conditions as the Dragging Holders.

 

4.2           Notice. The Drag-Along Right shall be exercised by written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) from the Dragging Holders delivered to all Compelled Holders at least twenty (20) days prior to the consummation of the proposed Sale Transaction.  The Drag-Along Notice shall specify the identity of the transferee, the nature of the Sale Transaction, the terms and conditions of transfer and the proposed consummation date of the Drag-Along Transaction. If the Drag-Along Notice shall be given, each Compelled Holder shall execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action, including voting and/or executing consents as necessary or appropriate to effect the Sale Transaction, and shall execute any purchase agreements, merger agreements, indemnity agreements, escrow agreements or related documents, as the Dragging Holders or the third party buyer may reasonably require, on the same terms and conditions as the Transfer by the Dragging Holders.  To the extent required to effectuate the provisions of this Section 4.2, each holder of Common Stock hereby grants to the Dragging Holders an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver, on behalf of such holder, any and all agreements or documents that may be necessary to complete any Sale Transaction which is approved by the Dragging Holders.

 

3

 

 

5.            TAG-ALONG RIGHTS. If one or more Shareholders propose to sell such number of shares as to constitute at least fifty one percent (51%) of the shares then outstanding to one or more third parties and has not elected to exercise its Drag-Along Right, then such Shareholder(s) (each a “Selling Shareholder”) shall deliver notice of such proposed sale, which shall contain a reasonable description of the proposed sale, including a description of the consideration to be received, to the other Shareholders. Any such other Shareholder may elect to participate in the proposed transaction by delivering written notice to the Company and to the Selling Shareholders within fourteen (14) days following the receipt by such other Shareholders of the notice of such proposed sale. The other Shareholders electing to participate in the proposed sale shall be entitled to sell their shares, on the same terms, conditions, and proportions as the Selling Shareholders. Without limiting the foregoing, any tag-along Shareholder participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 5, shall be required to make substantially the same representations, warranties and covenants, and grant such indemnification and agree to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Selling Shareholders, as may be required by the purchaser of the shares and which have been made by the Selling Shareholders (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Selling Shareholder, each tag-along Shareholder shall make comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself); provided, that all such representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by the Selling Shareholders and the other tag-along Shareholders severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation in respect of breaches of representations and warranties that do not relate to such other tag-along Shareholder shall be in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such other tag-along Shareholder in connection with any sale consummated pursuant to this Section 5. The Selling Shareholder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in the proposed sale to the proposed transferee all of the shares of stock that the other tag-along Shareholders have requested to have included pursuant to the applicable tag-along notices, it being understood that the proposed transferee shall not be required to purchase shares of stock in excess of the number set forth in the notice of proposed sale. In the event the proposed transferee elects to purchase less than all of the shares of stock sought to be sold by the other tag-along Shareholders, the number of shares to be sold to the proposed transferee by the Selling Shareholder and each other tag-along Shareholder shall be reduced so that each such tag-along Shareholder is entitled to sell its pro rata portion of the number of shares of stock the proposed transferee elects to purchase (which in no event may be less than the number of shares of stock set forth in the notice of proposed sale).

Exhibit 6.2

 

BALANCED PHARMA INCORPORATED

2020 STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

Adopted by the Board of Directors on October 31, 2020

 

1.Purpose. The Balanced Pharma Incorporated 2020 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is established to create an additional incentive to promote the financial success and progress of Balanced Pharma Incorporated and any successor corporations or any present or future parent and/or subsidiary corporations of such corporation (collectively, the “Company”). For purposes of the Plan, a parent corporation and a subsidiary corporation shall be as defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

2.Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and/or by a duly appointed committee of the Board having such powers as shall be specified by the Board. Any subsequent references herein or in any option agreement under the Plan to the Board shall also mean the committee if such committee has been appointed and, unless the powers of the committee have been specifically limited, the committee shall have all of the powers of the Board granted herein, other than power to terminate or amend the Plan as provided in Paragraph 11 hereof, subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable limitations imposed by law. All questions of interpretation of the Plan or of any award granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Board, and such determinations shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan and/or any Option (as defined below). To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate to one or more executive officers of the Company the power to grant Options to employees and to exercise such other powers under the Plan as the Board may determine; provided that the Board shall fix the terms of the Options to be granted by such executive officers (including the exercise price of such Options, which may include a formula by which the exercise price will be determined) and the maximum number of shares subject to Options that the executive officers may grant; provided, further, however, that no executive officer shall be authorized to grant awards to any “executive officer” of the Company (as defined by Rule 3b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).

 

3.Eligibility. The Board may grant options (each, an “Option”) to purchase shares of the authorized but unissued common stock of the Company (the “Stock”), which Options may be either incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code (an “Incentive Stock Option”) or nonqualified stock options. The Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine to whom Options are granted (each, an “Optionee”). An Option that the Board intends to be an Incentive Stock Option shall only be granted to an employee of the Company and shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. The Company shall have no liability to an Optionee if an Option (or any part thereof) which is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option.

 

 

 

 

4.Shares Subject to Option. Subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 9 below, the maximum number of shares of Stock which may be issued pursuant to Options granted under the Plan shall be Seven Hundred Ninety Eight (798) shares. If any outstanding Option for any reason expires or is terminated or cancelled, the shares of Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option may again be subject to an Option. It is intended that the Plan shall constitute a written compensatory benefit plan within the meaning of Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 701”), to the extent applicable, and that the Plan shall otherwise be administered in compliance with the requirements of Rule 701. To ensure such compliance, the Company shall maintain a record of shares subject to outstanding Options under the Plan and the exercise price of the Options, plus a record of all shares of Stock issued upon the exercise of the Options and the exercise price of the Options.

 

5.Time for Granting Options. All Options shall be granted, if at all, within ten (10) years from the earlier of (a) the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or (b) the date the Plan is duly approved by the stockholders of the Company.

 

6.Terms, Conditions and Form of Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall determine for each Option the number of shares of Stock into which the Option is exercisable, whether the Option is to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option or as a nonqualified stock option, and all other terms and conditions of the Option. Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)Exercise Price. The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the sole discretion of the Board; provided, however, that (i) unless otherwise specified by the Board, the exercise price per share for each Option shall be not less than the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date of grant and (ii) the exercise price per share of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who on the date of the grant owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code (a “Ten Percent Owner Optionee”) shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date of grant. For purposes of this Plan, “fair market value” means the value assigned to the Stock by the Board for any date of grant, as determined pursuant to a reasonable method established by the Board that is consistent with the requirements of Sections 422 and 424 of the Code and the regulations thereunder (which method may be changed from time to time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a nonqualified stock option) may be granted by the Board in its discretion with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in accordance with the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code for Incentive Stock Options and Section 409A of the Code for nonqualified stock options. The foregoing shall not require that any such assumption or modification will result in the Option having the same characteristics, attributes or tax treatment as the Option for which it is substituted.

 

2

 

 

(b)Exercise Period of Options. The Board shall have the power to set the times on or within which an Option shall be exercisable or the events upon which an Option shall be exercisable and the term of an Option; provided, however, that (i) no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the date of grant, (ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner Optionee shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the date of grant, (iii) no Option shall be exercisable after the date the Optionee’s employment with the Company is terminated for cause (as determined in the sole discretion of the Board, unless cause is defined in an employment agreement between the Optionee and the Company in which case such definition shall be used), and (iv) each Incentive Stock Option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable no later than three (3) months after the date on which the Optionee terminates employment with the Company, unless the Optionee’s employment with the Company was terminated as a result of the Optionee’s death or disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), in which event the Incentive Stock Option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable no later than twelve (12) months from the date on which the Optionee’s employment terminated. For this purpose, an Optionee’s employment shall be deemed to have terminated as a result of death if the Optionee dies within three (3) months following the Optionee’s termination of employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, in the event that an Optionee has entered into a confidentiality, nondisclosure, invention and/or non-competition agreement with the Company and the Optionee is determined, in the reasonable judgment of the Board, to have materially breached such agreement, the Optionee shall forfeit any shares acquired pursuant to the Option and 100% of the Option granted pursuant to such Optionee’s option agreement with the Company, whether or not exercisable.

 

(c)Payment of Exercise Price. Payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made in cash, by check, cash equivalent or in any other manner as may be permitted by the Board in its sole discretion.

 

(d)$100,000 Limitation. The aggregate fair market value, determined as of the date of grant of the shares of Stock, with respect to which an Incentive Stock Option (determined without regard to this subparagraph) is first exercisable during any calendar year (under this Plan or under any other plan of the Company) by any Optionee shall not exceed $100,000. If such limitation would be exceeded with respect to an Optionee for a calendar year, the Incentive Stock Option shall be deemed a nonqualified stock option to the extent of such excess.

 

7.Forms of Stock Option Agreements. All Options shall be evidenced by a written agreement substantially in the form of the incentive stock option agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A or the nonqualified stock option agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B, as applicable, both of which are incorporated herein by reference (the “Form Option Agreements”) or such other form or forms as may be approved by the Board consistent with the terms of this Plan. The Board shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms of the Form Option Agreements either in connection with the grant of an Option or in connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of such revised or amended standard form or forms of stock option agreement shall be in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

8.Transfer of Control Upon a merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization or any transaction in which all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company are sold, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of (other than a mere reincorporation transaction or one in which the holders of voting capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving corporation based upon their voting capital stock in the Company prior to such merger or consolidation) (a “Transfer of Control”), then, except as otherwise provided in a particular stock option agreement granted pursuant to the Plan, any unexercisable portion of an outstanding Option that would otherwise become exercisable within twelve (12) months following the effective time of the Transfer of Control shall become immediately exercisable as of a date prior to the Transfer of Control, which date shall be determined by the Board. Upon the occurrence of a Transfer of Control, each outstanding Option, to the extent not exercised prior to or concurrently with the Transfer of Control, shall terminate as of the effective time of the Transfer of Control, unless such Option is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or replaced with a comparable option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the successor corporation (or parent thereof). Unless the Board expressly provides otherwise, the exercise of any Option that was permissible solely by reason of this paragraph shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Transfer of Control.

 

9.Effect of Change in Stock Subject to Plan. The Board shall make appropriate adjustments in the number and class of shares of the Stock subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Options and in the option price of any outstanding Options in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company.

 

10.Options Non-Transferable. Except as otherwise provided in a stock option agreement, no Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of an Optionee, an Option shall be exercisable only by such Optionee.

 

11.Termination or Amendment. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time. The Board may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Option; provided, however, that no amendment authorized hereby may materially adversely affect the rights of any Optionee under any then outstanding Option, as determined in the discretion of the Board, without the consent of the Optionee, unless such amendment is required to enable an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option. The Board shall be entitled to create, amend or delete appendices to this Plan as specified herein.

 

4

 

 

12.Withholding. Each Optionee shall pay to the Company, or make provision satisfactory to the Board for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in connection with Options granted to such Optionee no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. Except as the Board may otherwise provide in an award, when the Stock is registered under the Exchange Act, Optionees may satisfy such tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery of shares of Stock, including shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option creating the tax obligation, valued at their fair market value as determined by, or in a manner approved by, the Board in good faith; provided, however, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income). The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to an Optionee.

 

13.Conditions on Delivery of Stock. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until (a) all conditions of the Option have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (b) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (c) the Optionee has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.

 

14.          Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)Right of First Refusal. If any Optionee proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any shares of Stock acquired upon exercise of an Option (the “Exercise Shares”), the Company shall have the right to repurchase the Exercise Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Paragraph 14 (the “Right of First Refusal”).

 

(b)Notice of Proposed Transfer. Prior to any proposed transfer of the Exercise Shares, the Optionee shall give a written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Exercise Shares, the name and address of the proposed transferee (the “Proposed Transferee”), the proposed transfer price and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed transfer.

 

5

 

 

(c)Exercise of the Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Exercise Shares at the purchase price and on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice by delivery to the Optionee of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within thirty (30) days after the date the Transfer Notice is delivered to the Company. The Company’s exercise or failure to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in a Transfer Notice shall not affect the Company’s ability to exercise the Right of First Refusal with respect to any proposed transfer described in any other Transfer Notice, whether or not such other Transfer Notice is issued by the Optionee or issued by any other person with respect to a proposed transfer to the same Proposed Transferee. If the Company exercises the Right of First Refusal, the Company and the Optionee shall thereupon consummate the sale of the Exercise Shares to the Company on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice; provided, however, that, if the Transfer Notice provides for the payment for the Exercise Shares other than in cash, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Exercise Shares by the discounted cash equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice as reasonably determined by the Board. For purposes of the foregoing, cancellation of any indebtedness of the Optionee to the Company shall be treated as payment to the Optionee in cash to the extent of the unpaid principal and any accrued interest cancelled.

 

(d)Failure to Exercise the Right of First Refusal. If the Company fails to exercise the Right of First Refusal within the period specified in Paragraph 14(c) above, the Optionee may conclude a transfer to the Proposed Transferee of the Exercise Shares on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided that such transfer occurs not later than one hundred twenty (120) days following delivery to the Company of the Transfer Notice. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, also shall be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance by the Optionee with the procedure described in this Paragraph 14.

 

(e)Transferees of the Transfer Shares. All transferees of the Exercise Shares or any interest therein, other than the Company, shall be required as a condition of such transfer to agree in writing (in a form satisfactory to the Company) that such transferee shall receive and hold such Exercise Shares or interests subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 14 providing for the Right of First Refusal with respect to any subsequent transfer.

 

(f)Transfers Not Subject to the Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal shall not apply to any transfer or exchange of the Exercise Shares if: (i) such transfer is in connection with a Transfer of Control; (ii) such transfer is to one or more members of the Optionee’s immediate family, including, as applicable, an Optionee’s spouse or registered domestic partner (or a trust for the benefit of one or more members of the Optionee’s immediate family), provided that all such transferees agree in writing to the restrictions of Paragraph 14(e); or (iii) such transfer has been approved by the Board, which approval may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion.

 

(g)            Assignment of the Right of First Refusal. The Company shall have the right to assign the Right of First Refusal at any time.

 

6

 

 

(h)           Stock Dividends Subject to First Refusal Right. If, from time to time, there is any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification or other change in the character or amount of any of the outstanding stock of the Company, the stock of which is subject to the provisions of an option agreement issued pursuant to the Plan, then, in such event, any and all new substituted or additional securities to which the Optionee is entitled by reason of the Optionee’s ownership of the Exercise Shares shall be immediately subject to the Right of First Refusal with the same force and effect as the shares subject to the Right of First Refusal immediately before such event.

 

(i)Early Termination of the Right of First Refusal. The other provisions of this Paragraph 14 notwithstanding, the Right of First Refusal shall terminate, and be of no further force and effect, upon the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Transfer of Control, unless the surviving, continuing, successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, assumes the Company’s rights and obligations under the Plan or (ii) the existence of a public market for the class of shares subject to the Right of First Refusal. A “public market” shall be deemed to exist if (x) such stock is listed on a national securities exchange (as that term is used in the Exchange Act) or (y) such stock is traded on the over-the-counter market and prices therefor are published daily on business days in a recognized financial journal.

 

(j)             Escrow. To ensure shares of Stock subject to Right of First Refusal will be available for repurchase, the Company may require an Optionee to deposit certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares in escrow with the Company or an agent of the Company.

 

15.Legends. The Company may at any time place legends referencing any applicable federal or state securities law restriction on all certificates representing shares of Stock subject to the provisions of the Plan. Optionees shall, at the request of the Company, promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares acquired pursuant to Options granted under the Plan in the possession of such Optionees in order to effectuate the provisions of this Paragraph. Unless otherwise specified by the Company, legends placed on such certificates may include, as applicable, the following:

 

(a)THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING SUCH SHARES, THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 OR RULE 701 UNDER THE ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER OF THESE SHARES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS.

 

7

 

 

(b)THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTION IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY OR ITS ASSIGNEE SET FORTH IN THE COMPANY’S STOCK OPTION PLAN A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THIS COMPANY.

 

(c)THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED BY THE COMPANY TO THE REGISTERED HOLDER UPON EXERCISE OF AN INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 422 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED. THE TRANSFER AGENT FOR THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY SHALL NOTIFY THE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY OF ANY TRANSFER OF THE SHARES BY THE REGISTERED HOLDER HEREOF MADE ON OR BEFORE THE REGISTERED HOLDER SHALL HAVE HELD ALL SHARES PURCHASED UNDER THE OPTION IN THE REGISTERED HOLDER’S NAME (AND NOT IN THE NAME OF ANY NOMINEE) FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF EXERCISE OF THE OPTION OR TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF GRANT OF THE OPTION.

 

16.Initial Public Offering.  In the event of an initial public offering of capital stock made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Optionee shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any rights to acquire capital stock of the Company for such period of time as may be established by the underwriter for such initial public offering; provided, however, that such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement to be filed in connection with such initial public offering (or such longer period as the underwriters or the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with NASD Rule 2711).

 

17.           Miscellaneous.

 

(a)            Nothing in this Plan or any Option granted hereunder shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company, or to serve as a director, consultant or advisor thereof, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate such Optionee’s employment or engagement at any time. Unless specifically provided otherwise, no grant of an Option shall be deemed salary or compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under any employee benefit plan or other arrangement of the Company for the benefit of its employees unless the Company shall determine otherwise. No Optionee shall have any claim to an Option until it is actually granted under the Plan. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall, except as otherwise provided by the Board, be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

 

8

 

 

(b)           The Plan and the grant of Options hereunder shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any United States government or regulatory agency as may be required.

 

(c)            The terms of the Plan shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

 

(d)           This Plan and all Options granted hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law’s provisions of Delaware.

 

(e)If any provision of this Plan or an option agreement granted pursuant to the Plan is or becomes or is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify the Plan or any option agreement under any law deemed applicable by the Board, such provision shall, subject to the withholding provisions set forth herein, be construed or deemed amended to conform to such applicable laws or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board, materially altering the intent of the Plan or such option agreement, it shall be stricken and the remainder of the Plan or the option agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(f)            The Board may incorporate additional or alternative provisions for this Plan with respect to residents of one or more individual states to the extent necessary or desirable under applicable state securities laws. Such provisions shall be set out in one or more appendices hereto which may be amended or deleted by the Board from time to time. Effective immediately prior to the grant of an Option to a resident of the State of California or to the exercise of an outstanding Option by a resident of the State of California, Appendix A shall be deemed adopted and incorporated as a part of this Plan.

 

(g)           The Company may require, as a condition to the exercise of any Option, that the Optionee become bound by the terms of a stockholders agreement, investor rights agreement or similar agreement among the Company and holders of capital stock of the Company. Furthermore, the Company reserves the right to make the provisions of any such agreement apply to any holder of Stock issued upon the exercise of an Option by providing written notice to the registered holder of such stock accompanied by a copy of the applicable agreement or agreements.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise appearing in the Plan, to the extent applicable, the following provisions promulgated under the California Code of Regulations, together with any and all amendments, supplements or revisions thereto, shall apply to any Option granted under the Plan to a resident of the State of California and, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the following provisions and the provisions otherwise appearing in the Plan, the following provisions shall control, solely with respect to Options granted under the Plan to residents of the State of California:

 

Rule 260.140.41., Compensatory option plans

 

Options granted to employees (including insurance agents who are employees for purposes of Rule 701(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (17 C.F.R. 230.701(c))), officers, directors, general partners, trustees (where the issuer is a business trust) managers, advisors or consultants of the issuer, its parents, its majority-owned subsidiaries or majority-owned subsidiaries of the issuer’s parents as part of a compensatory benefit plan shall be pursuant to a plan or agreement that provides for all of the following:

(c) The non-transferability of the options, provided that the plan or agreement may permit transfer by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, to a revocable trust, or as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (17 C.F.R. 230.701).

 

(d) The proportionate adjustment of the number of securities purchasable and the exercise price thereof under the option in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or other distribution of the issuer’s equity securities without the receipt of consideration by the issuer, of or on the issuer’s class or series of securities underlying the option.

(1) At least six (6) months from the date of termination if termination was caused by death or disability.

 

(2) At least thirty (30) days from the date of termination if termination was caused by other than death or disability.
