On May 14, 2018, the Company, ADMA BioManufacturing and ADMA BioCenters entered into a Share Transfer, Amendment and Release Agreement with BPC, Biotest AG, Biotest US Corporation and The Biotest Divestiture Trust (the “Biotest Trust”) (the “Biotest Transfer Agreement”) whereby BPC transferred to the Company, for no cash consideration, 8,591,160 shares of the Company’s non-voting common stock previously issued to BPC in connection with the Biotest Transaction and representing 100% of the Company’s issued and outstanding non-voting common stock (the “NV Biotest Shares”). Immediately upon transfer of the NV Biotest Shares to the Company, the shares were retired and are no longer available for issuance. The retired NV Biotest Shares comprised approximately 19% of the total outstanding common stock of the Company as of May 14, 2018. In exchange for the transfer and retirement of the NV Biotest Shares, the Company has (i) granted Biotest and its successors and assigns a release from all potential past, present and future indemnity claims arising under the Master Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2017, and (ii) relinquished its rights to repurchase its two FDA-approved plasma collection centers required to be transferred to BPC on January 1, 2019 (see Note 3). In addition, pursuant to the Biotest Transfer Agreement, BPC waived and terminated its rights to name a director and an observer to the Company’s Board of Directors. As BPC has made public statements regarding the U.S. Government required divestiture of all of BPC’s U.S. assets in connection with the sale of Biotest AG to CREAT Group Corporation, pursuant to the Biotest Transfer Agreement BPC, subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals, has agreed to transfer its remaining 10,109,534 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Biotest Trust upon the earlier of (i) receipt of consent from the necessary governmental authorities and (ii) July 1, 2018 (provided that Biotest and the Biotest Trust have received all required regulatory approvals for the Biotest Trust to own and hold the Company’s common stock) (the “Voting Share Closing Date”). Furthermore, pursuant to the Biotest Transfer Agreement, the Biotest Trust has agreed to be bound by all obligations of, and will have all of the remaining rights of, BPC under that certain (i) Stockholders Agreement, dated as of June 6, 2017, by and between the Company and BPC, as amended by the Biotest Transfer Agreement, and (ii) Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 6, 2017, by and between the Company and BPC. Furthermore, subject to the terms contained in the Biotest Transfer Agreement, for a 90-day period following the Voting Share Closing Date, the Biotest Trust has granted the Company a right of first negotiation for the purchase of the remaining shares of common stock then-held by the Biotest Trust. |
