Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On October 15, 2020, Orgenesis Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Koligo Therapeutics Inc., a Kentucky corporation (“Koligo”), through the merger of Orgenesis Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) with and into Koligo, with Koligo surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of September 26, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Merger Sub, Koligo, the shareholders of Koligo (collectively, the “Shareholders”), and Long Hill Capital V, LLC (“Long Hill”), solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of the Shareholders. The Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement was previously announced in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2020 (the “Prior 8-K”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the shares of capital stock of Koligo that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive, subject to customary adjustments, an aggregate of 2,061,713 shares of Company common stock which have been issued to Koligo’s accredited investors (with certain non-accredited investors being paid solely in cash in the amount of approximately $20,000) in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed an aggregate of approximately $1.9 million of Koligo’s liabilities, which were substantially all of Koligo’s liabilities at the closing of the Merger. As partial security for the indemnification and purchase price adjustment obligations of Koligo shareholders under the Merger Agreement, $7,315 in cash and 328,587 shares of Company common stock of the merger consideration otherwise payable in the Merger to the Shareholders were placed in a third party escrow account. In addition, according to the agreement between the parties, the Company has also funded an additional cash consideration of $500,000 (with $100,000 of such reducing the ultimate consideration payable to Koligo) for the acquisition of the assets of Tissue Genesis, LLC (“Tissue Genesis”) by Koligo that was consummated on October 14, 2020. The Tissue Genesis assets include the entire inventory of Tissue Genesis Icellator® devices, related kits and reagents, a broad patent portfolio to protect the technology, registered trademarks, clinical data, and existing business relationships for commercial and development stage use of the Icellator technology.
In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company, Long Hill and Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) entered into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement pursuant to which Long Hill will have one demand registration right to require the registration of the shares of Company common stock received by Long Hill in the Merger and Long Hill and Maxim will have certain piggyback registration rights. In addition, Long Hill agreed with the Company that, during the applicable Restriction Period (as defined below), it shall not sell or transfer, subject to certain limited exceptions, the portion of the shares received in the Merger during the applicable Restriction Period, subject to a limitation on the number of shares sold per any trading day not to exceed 10% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg Financial L.P. “Restriction Period” means (a) in relation to 70% of all of the shares received in the Merger that Long Hill is entitled to receive under or in connection with the Merger Agreement, the period beginning on the date of the closing and ending on the date that is the four month anniversary thereof, and (b) in relation to the remaining 30% of all of the shares received in the Merger that Long Hill is entitled to receive under or in connection with the Merger Agreement, the period beginning on the date of the closing and ending on the date that is the twelve month anniversary thereof.
In addition, pursuant to separate Lock-Up Agreements entered into by the Shareholders other than Long Hill with the Company (the “Shareholders Lock-Up Agreement”), such Shareholders agreed that they will not transfer any of their shares received in the Merger except in accordance with the following lock-up release schedule whereby one fifth of such holder’s respective shares will be released from such restriction every six months, starting six months from the closing of the Merger. Each holder’s sales of such shares are subject to a resale limit of its pro rata portion of 10% of the average daily trading volume, allocated to the Shareholders other than Long Hill pro-rata.
The above summaries of the Merger Agreement, the form of Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, and the form of Shareholders Lock-Up Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety to the full text of each such agreement, which agreements were filed as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, and 10.2 to the Prior 8-K, respectively, and are qualified herein by this reference.
