ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 22, 2021, Zynex, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Zynex Monitoring Solutions, Inc. (“ZMS”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kestrel Labs, Inc. (“Kestrel”) and each of the shareholders of Kestrel (collectively, the "Selling Shareholders"). Under the Agreement, the Selling Shareholders agreed to sell all of the outstanding common stock of Kestrel (the “Kestrel Shares”) to ZMS. The consideration for the Kestrel Shares consisted of $16.0 million cash and 1,334,350 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Zynex Shares”). All of the Zynex Shares are subject to a lockup agreement for a period of one year from the closing date under the Agreement (the “Closing Date”). 889,566 of the Zynex Shares are being deposited in escrow (the “Escrow Shares”). The number of Escrow Shares is subject to adjustment on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date (or in connection with any Liquidation Event (as defined in the Agreement) that occurs prior to such anniversary date) based on the number of shares equal to $10,000,000 divided by a 30-day volume weighted average closing price of the Zynex common stock. Half of the Escrow Shares will be released on submission of a dossier on a laser-based photoplethysmographic device (the “Device”) to the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for permission to market and sell the Device in the United States. The other half of the Escrow Shares will be released upon notification from the FDA finding the Device can be marketed and sold in the United States.
Kestrel is a laser-based, noninvasive patient monitoring technology company. Kestrel’s laser-based products include the NiCO™ CO-Oximeter, a multi-parameter pulse oximeter, and HemeOx™, a total hemoglobin oximeter that enables continuous arterial blood monitoring.
The foregoing summary of the Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the text of the Agreement, which is filed herein as Exhibit 10.1.
