GENERAL INFORMATION
Approval of Share Issuance
Youngevity International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “YGYI,” “we,” or “us”) is sending you this information statement solely for purposes of informing our stockholders of record as of October 29, 2018, which we refer to as the record date, in the manner required by Regulation 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), of the action taken by written consent by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company to approve, as required by NASDAQ Rules 5635(b) and (d), the issuance of up to 3,804,067 shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Debt Exchange, the Common Stock Private Placement Transaction and Preferred Offering (collectively, the “Proposed Transactions”) described below. See “Overview of the Proposed Transactions.”
NASDAQ Rules 5635(b) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance will result in a change of control of the listed company, which NASDAQ generally deems to occur when, as a result of the issuance, an investor owns, or has the right to acquire, 20% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock or voting power.
NASDAQ Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by a company of common stock equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the “Minimum Price,” which is defined as the lower of the closing price immediately prior to the time of execution of a binding agreement with respect to such issuance or the average closing price of the common stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement with respect to such issuance.
In the case of the exchange of a note in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 (the “Note”) that we issued to Mr. Grover in 2014 due July 30, 2019 (the “Debt Exchange”), we entered into an exchange agreement with Carl Grover on October 23, 2018, which provides that subject to stockholder approval, we will issue 747,664 shares of our Common Stock (the “Grover Shares”) to Mr. Grover together with a warrant to Mr. Grover to purchase 631,579 shares of our Common Stock (the “Grover Warrant Shares”) upon the exchange of the Note. The Note was convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $7.00 per share, which principal amount if fully converted would result in the issuance of 571,428 shares of Common Stock. In addition, upon closing of the Debt Exchange, we agreed to issue to an advisor in connection with the Debt Exchange 30,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Advisor Shares”); a warrant to purchase 80,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.35 per share (the “$5.35 Warrants”) and a warrant to purchase 70,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.75 per share (the “$4.75 Warrants”, and together with the $5.35 Warrants, the “Advisor Warrants.”) (The shares of Common Stock issuable under the Advisor Warrants being collectively referred to as the Advisor Warrant Shares; and the Grover Shares, the Grover Warrant Shares, the Advisor Shares and the Advisor Warrant Shares being collectively referred to as the “Debt Exchange Transaction Shares”).
In the case of the Common Stock private placement transaction (the “Common Stock Private Placement Transaction”), we may issue up to an additional 367,805 shares of our Common Stock as True-up Shares (the “True-up Shares”) and an additional 390,263 shares of Common Stock in addition to the 390,263 shares of Common Stock we already issued in the Common Stock Private Placement and the warrant to purchase 630,526 shares of Common Stock that we already issued in the Common Stock Private Placement (the shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Common Stock Private Placement, being collectively referred to as the “Common Stock Private Placement Shares”).
In the case of the preferred offering (the “Preferred Offering”), we have issued shares of Series C Preferred Stock that convert into 1,394,726 shares of Common Stock and may in the future issue a warrant to purchase up to 1,394,726 shares of Common Stock (the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant being collectively referred to as the “Series C Common Shares”). In addition, in accordance with the placement agent agreement that we entered into in connection with the Preferred Offering, the placement agent is entitled, as further compensation, to be issued warrants to purchase up to 10% of the warrants issued to certain investors in the Preferred Offering (warrants to purchase 92,030 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock) at an exercise price of $4.75 per share.
If issued, the Debt Exchange Transaction Shares, the Common Stock Private Placement Shares and the Series C Common Shares (being collectively referred to as the “Stockholder Approval Shares”), together with the shares of our Common Stock already issued and shares of our Common Stock underlying securities already issued in the Proposed Transactions, would equal an aggregate of 6,219,582 shares of Common Stock that represents approximately 28.8% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock as of August 17, 2018, the first date of issuance of securities in the proposed transactions.
We are subject to NASDAQ Rules 5635(b) and (d) since our Common Stock is listed and trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Accordingly, NASDAQ Rules 5635(b) and (d) requires us to obtain stockholder approval of the issuance of our Common Stock in the Proposed Transactions.
The approval of the issuance of the Debt Exchange Transaction Shares, the Common Stock Private Placement Shares and the Series C Common Shares by written consent requires the approval of the holders of outstanding Common 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. As of the record date, there were 22,647,670 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding which excludes 747,664 shares of Common Stock issued in the Debt Exchange and 30,000 Advisor Shares as noted above.
By a written consent dated October 29, 2018, the holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, Stephan Wallach and Michelle Wallach, approved the issuance of the Debt Exchange Transaction Shares, the Common Stock Private Placement Shares and the Series C Common Shares for purposes of NASDAQ Rules 5635(b) and (d). Pursuant to Rule 14c-2(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, such action may not be effected until at least 20 calendar days following the mailing of this Information Statement to our common stockholders. This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about November 15, 2018 to the Company’s common stockholders of record as of the record date.
Notice Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law
Pursuant to Section 228(e) of the DGCL, we are required to provide prompt notice of the taking of a corporate action by written consent to common stockholders who have not consented in writing to such action. This Information Statement serves as the notice required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL.
OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS
Debt Exchange
Subject to stockholder approval, we have entered into an agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Carl Grover (“Grover”), currently a beneficial owner of greater than five percent (5%) of our outstanding Common Stock (see the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” set forth below for additional detail regarding our securities owned by Mr. Grover ), to exchange an 8% Secured Convertible Promissory Note held by him (the “Debt Exchange”), which was issued by us on July 31, 2014, in the principal amount of $4,000,000 that was originally convertible into 571,428 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $7.00 per share and matures on July 30, 2019 (the “Grover Note”), into 747,664 shares (the “Grover Shares”) of Common Stock, at a conversion price of $5.35 per share. As part of the proposed Debt Exchange subject to stockholder approval, we also agreed to issue to Grover a four-year warrant (the “Grover Warrant”) to purchase 631,579 shares of Common Stock (the “Grover Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $4.75 per share. Ascendant Alternative Strategies, LLC, a FINRA broker dealer (“Ascendant”), acted as the Company’s advisor in connection with the Debt Exchange. Upon a closing of the Debt Exchange, we have agreed to issue to Ascendant 30,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Advisor Shares”), a four-year warrant to purchase 80,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.35 per share (the “$5.35 Warrants”) and a four-year warrant to purchase 70,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.75 per share (the “$4.75 Warrants”, and together with the $5.35 Warrants, the “Advisor Warrants.”) (The shares of Common Stock issuable under the Advisor Warrants being collectively referred to as the Advisor Warrant Shares; and the Grover Shares, the Grover Warrant Shares, the Advisor Shares and the Advisor Warrant Shares being collectively referred to as the “Debt Exchange Transaction Shares”). In addition, effective October 19, 2018, Mr. Grover converted all amounts owed to him under a note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 maturing October 2018 into 428,571 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $7.00 per share in accordance with its stated terms.
If stockholder approval had not been obtained, if requested by Mr. Grover, we would have been required to repay the Note held by Mr. Grover with cash.
The closing price of the Common Stock on the date we entered into the Agreement, subject to shareholder approval, to effect the Debt Exchange was $7.73.
Copies of the Exchange Agreement, Grover Warrant, $5.35 Warrants, $4.75 Warrants and Advisory Agreement were included as exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 10.1 and 10.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 30, 2018.
Common Stock Private Placement
Between August 31, 2018 and October 5, 2018, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with 9 investors with whom we had a substantial pre-existing relationship (the “Investors”) pursuant to which we sold in a private placement (the “Common Stock Private Placement”) an aggregate of 315,263 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of $4.75 per share and the Investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 315,263 shares of Common Stock at an offering price of $4.75 per share on or before the date (the “Second Closing Date”) that is three days from the effectiveness of the registration statement filed by us with the Securities Exchange Commission relating to the Offering (the “Registration Statement”), which Registration Statement was filed by us on October 17, 2018. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, we issued the Investors Warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 630,526 shares of Common Stock (at an exercise price of $4.75 per share, of which 315,263 were are exercisable upon issuance and the remaining 315,263 shares are exercisable any time after the Second Closing Date) and agreed to issue to the Investors an aggregate of 150,000 shares of Common Stock as an advisory fee.
Each Purchase Agreement provides that in the event that the average of the 15 lowest closing prices for our Common Stock during the period beginning on the execution date of such Purchase Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the date 90 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Subsequent Pricing Period”) is less than $4.75 per share, then we will issue to the Investors additional shares of our Common Stock (the “True-up Shares”) within three days from the expiration of the Subsequent Pricing Period, according to the following formula: X= [Purchase Price Paid- (A*B)]/B, where:
X= number of True-up Shares to be issued
A= the number of purchased shares acquired by Investor
B= the True-up Price
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the aggregate number of shares issued by us, including shares of Common Stock issued, shares of Common Stock underlying the Investor Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issued as Advisory Shares and True-up Shares exceed 2.9% of our issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the Effective Date for each $1,000,000 invested in our company. Based upon the foregoing, the maximum number of True-Up Shares that could be issued would be 367,805.
The closing price of the Common Stock on the dates we entered into Purchase Agreements in the Common Stock Private Placement are set forth below:
Closing Date | Closing Price |
| August 31, 2018 | $3.57 |
| September 7, 2018 | $3.89 |
| September 13, 2018 | $4.17 |
| October 1, 2018 | $7.11 |
| October 5, 2018 | $7.27 |
Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the shares of Common Stock and the shares to be issued as True-up Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Investor Warrants, which registration statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2018.
The securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreements were issued under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulation promulgated thereunder, including Regulation D.
Copies of the form of Investor Warrants, Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the Common Stock Private Placement were included as exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 10.1 and 10.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on September 7, 2018.
Preferred Offering
Between August 17, 2018 and October 4, 2018, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Preferred Purchase Agreements”) with 54 investors, pursuant to which we sold in a private placement (the “Preferred Offering”) an aggregate of 697,363 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock, par value $.001 (the Series C Preferred”) and agreed to issue warrants (the “Preferred Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,394,726 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.75 per share to Series C Preferred holders that voluntary convert their shares of Series C Preferred to our Common Stock prior to their two-year anniversary of issuance. To date, no warrants have been issued. The securities issued pursuant to the Preferred Purchase Agreements in the initial two closings, after taking into account any warrants to be issued in the future pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Purchase Agreements, were issued at prices deemed to be above the Minimum Price. In addition, in accordance with the Placement Agent Agreement that we entered into in connection with the Preferred Offering, upon the issuance of warrants to investors in the Preferred Offering, the placement agent is entitled, as further compensation, to be issued warrants to purchase up to 10% of the warrants issued to certain investors in the Preferred Offering (warrants to purchase 92,030 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock) at an exercise price of $4.75 per share.
The closing price of the Common Stock on the dates the Corporation entered into Preferred Purchase Agreements in the Preferred Offering are as set forth below:
Closing Date | Closing Price |
| August 17, 2018 | $4.05 |
| September 19, 2018 | $4.35 |
| September 28, 2018 | $6.73 |
| October 4, 2018 | $8.07 |
Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Preferred Warrants, which registration statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2018.
The securities issued pursuant to the Preferred Purchase Agreements were issued under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulation promulgated thereunder, including Regulation D.
Copies of the Certificate of Designation of Powers, Preferences and Rights of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and the form of Preferred Warrants, Preferred Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the Preferred Offering were included as exhibit 3.1, 4.1, 10.1, 102 and 10.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed with the SEC on August 21, 2018.
Nasdaq Rules 5635(b) and (d)
Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval prior to an issuance of securities in connection with a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by a company of common stock equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the Minimum Price, which is defined as the lower of the closing price immediately prior to the time of execution of a binding agreement with respect to such issuance or the average closing price of the common stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement with respect to such issuance. The Grover Shares when combined with the Debt Exchange Transaction Shares, the Common Stock Private Placement Shares and the Series C Common Shares, together with the shares of our Common Stock already issued in the Proposed Transactions and the shares of our Common Stock underlying securities already issued in the Proposed Transactions, would result in the issuance of in excess of 20% of our Common Stock based on the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock on August 17, 2018, the date of first issuance of securities in the Proposed Transactions.
Nasdaq Rule 5635(b) requires stockholder approval prior to an issuance of securities when the issuance will result in a change of control of the listed company, which Nasdaq generally deems to occur when, as a result of the issuance, an investor owns, or has the right to acquire, 20% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock or voting power. In addition to the Note, Mr. Grover currently owns 2,345,862 shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a note in the principal amount of $3,000,000), a 2014 Warrant exercisable for 782,608 shares of Common Stock, a 2015 Warrant exercisable for 200,000 shares of Common Stock, and a 2017 Warrant exercisable for 735,030 shares of Common Stock. In addition, following the Debt Exchange, upon issuance of the 747,664 Grover Shares which is included in the shares Mr. Grover currently owns, and the issuance of the Grover Warrant to purchase 631,579 shares of Common Stock, if Mr. Grover were to waive all limitations on exercise set forth in the warrants that had been issued to him, Mr. Grover would beneficially own 20% or more of our Common Stock, which Nasdaq may deem to result in a change of control.
We have sought stockholder approval for the sale and issuance of the Debt Exchange Transaction Shares, the shares of Common Stock included as part of the Common Stock Private Placement Shares remaining to be issued and the shares of Common Stock included as part of the Series C Common Shares remaining to be issued
