Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
Upon the closing of two privately negotiated transactions, one of which closed on July 28, 2008 and the other of which is expected to close on or about August 1, 2008, Reliv’ International, Inc. (the “Company”) will have purchased an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock from the Paul and Jane Meyer Family Foundation (the “Foundation”) and Centre Island Properties, Ltd (“Centre Island”) at $6.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000 payable in cash. On July 28, 2008, pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated July 24, 2008 by and between the Foundation and the Company, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report, the Company purchased 596,200 shares from the Foundation for a total purchase price of $3,577,200. Pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated July 24, 2008 by and between Centre Island and the Company, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this current report, the Company will purchase 403,800 shares from Centre Island for a total purchase price of $2,422,800 upon delivery and assignment of the certificates representing the shares to be sold.
In the Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and the Foundation, the Foundation granted the Company a right of first refusal regarding each subsequent proposed sale or sales of shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Foundation or any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). The Company will have two days to exercise its purchase right as to all or any of the shares to be sold on the negotiated terms. If the Foundation and/or its affiliates propose to sell in the open market, the Company may purchase all or any portion of the shares to be sold for cash at a per-share price equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date the notice of proposed sale is given to the Company. The closing of each purchase by the Company would be within five days after the Company’s notice of exercise. To the extent that the Company does not exercise its purchase right, the Foundation and/or its affiliates may effect the proposed sale or sales of those shares within 20 days after the end of the exercise period, and any negotiated sale by the Foundation and/or its affiliates must be on terms no more favorable to the purchaser than the terms offered to the Company. According to the Foundation’s Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D expected to be filed on or about July 30, 2008 reporting the transaction between the Company and the Foundation, at July 29, 2008, the Foundation beneficially owned 2,519,086 shares of common stock of the Company which will represent approximately 16.9% of the outstanding common stock of the Company after giving effect to both of the transactions described above.
The Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and Centre Island contained the same right of first refusal as the Stock Purchase Agreement between the Foundation and the Company, although Centre Island will not own any shares of common stock of the Company upon closing of the transaction.
In connection with the transactions described in this Item 1.01, on July 25, 2008, Paul J. Meyer, on behalf of himself and the other members of the Board of Directors of the Foundation, delivered to the Company a letter confirming and agreeing that, until July 25, 2009, those persons will not engage, or encourage or direct any other person to engage, in communication or action adverse to, or in conflict with the actions of, the management of the Company. A copy of this standstill letter is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this current report.
