INFORMATION

STATEMENT

[Preliminary]

_____________

 

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY, AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

 

INTRODUCTION

 

This Information Statement advises the shareholders of Cimarron Medical, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") of the following:

 

 

·

The approval of amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, which include increasing the Company"s authorized capital from 10,700,000 shares to 110,000,000 shares, divided into (i) 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value per share common voting stock; and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value per share preferred stock, with the rights, designations and privileges to be set by the Board of Directors (the "Article Amendments"); and

     
 

·

The change of our corporate domicile from the State of Utah to the State of Delaware by merging the Company with and into a newly formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary (the "Domicile Change") (such Article Amendments and Domicile Change collectively the "Corporate Actions").

 

On June 12, 2015 (the "Record Date"), our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the Domicile Change and Article Amendments and submitted the same to certain holders of our common stock, no par value ("Common Stock") and Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Series A Preferred Stock").  On the same date, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock and all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (the "Majority Shareholders") executed and delivered to us a written consent in lieu of a meeting (the "Written Consent") approving the Domicile Change and Article Amendments.

 

Finally, on June 12, 2015, we entered into a merger agreement Sun BioPharma, Inc. ("Sun BioPharma") to merge a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with and into Sun BioPharma, with Sun BioPharma being the surviving entity of that merger.  As one of the conditions to closing the merger, we are required to effect the Corporate Actions. For a discussion of this merger, see "Merger and Potential Change of Control."

 

Section 16-10a-704 of the URBCA provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted can approve an action in lieu of conducting a special shareholders" meeting convened for the specific purpose of such action. The URBCA, however, requires that in the event an action is approved by written consent, a company must provide prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting to the shareholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to a company.

 

Under Utah law, shareholders are not entitled to dissenters" rights with respect to the Article Amendments.  The Domicile Change will result in appraisal rights for dissenting shareholders, which are discussed herein.

 

In accordance with the foregoing, we intend to mail a notice of the Written Consent and this Information Statement on or about July __, 2015. This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the actions approved by the Board and the Majority Shareholders, which hold a majority of the voting capital stock and preferred stock of the Company.

Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof Voting in Favor of Corporate Actions

 

As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 1,450,322 shares of Common Stock, and 200,119 shares of preferred stock, all of which designated Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such share of Series A Preferred Stock could then be converted, which, as of the Record Date, was approximately 1.205 votes per share (each share of Series A Preferred Stock could then be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to $1.00/$0.83), with fractional votes on an as- converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) rounded to the nearest whole number (with one- half being rounded upward).  Pursuant to the URBCA, at least a majority of the voting equity of the Company, or at least 845,715 votes, was required to approve the Name Change by written consent. The Majority Shareholders, which held 750,266 shares of Common Stock (approximately 51.7% of the total class of Common Stock) and all of the Series A Preferred Stock, executed and delivered the Written Consent approving the Name Change, thereby satisfying the requirement that at least a majority of the voting equity vote in favor of a corporate action by written consent.

 

The following table sets forth the names of the Majority Shareholders, the number of shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock held by each, the total number of votes that the Majority Shareholders voted in favor of the Name Change, and the percentage of the issued and outstanding voting equity of the Company voted in favor thereof.

CORPORATE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

 

We intend to effect both the Article Amendments and Domicile Change through a change of domicile merger whereby the Company, a Utah corporation, is merged with and into a newly formed Delaware corporation, which, immediately prior to the merger, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Reincorporation Merger").  We intend to file Articles of Merger with the State of Utah and State of Delaware promptly after the twentieth (20th) calendar day following the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to the Shareholders.  If the Reincorporation Merger is not completed, we will effect the Article Amendments by amending our Utah Articles of Incorporation and would file such an amendment with the State of Utah promptly after the twentieth (20th) calendar day following the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to the Shareholders.

 

ARTICLE AMENDMENTS: INCREASING OUR AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

 

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock which we are authorized to issue from 10,000,000 to 100,000,000, and the number of shares of our preferred stock which we are authorized to issue from 700,000 to 10,000,000 (the "Authorized Share Increase").  Our Board has recommended to our Majority Shareholders that they vote in favor of the Authorized Share Increase, and our Majority Shareholders have voted in favor of the Authorized Share Increase.  The votes of our Majority Shareholders were obtained by written consent. The Authorized Share Increase will not alter the current number of our issued and outstanding shares of common or preferred stock.  The Certificate of Incorporation of the Delaware corporation into which we will merge in the Reincorporation Merger will have an authorized capital provision that gives effect to this Authorized Share Increase.  If for any reason we do not effect the Reincorporation Merger, the Authorized Share Increase will be effected through an amendment to our Utah Articles of Incorporation.

Reasons for the Authorized Share Increase

 

We anticipate that we will in the future adopt employee option plans, issue shares in acquisition transactions and attempt to raise additional capital from the sale of our shares of common stock or preferred stock.  These actions, if they were to occur, of which there can be no assurance, will require the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock.  We believe that now is an appropriate time to increase our authorized shares of capital stock so that we will have flexibility in structuring future transactions.

 

The disadvantages of increasing our authorized common stock and preferred stock include:

 

 

·

The issuance of authorized but unissued stock could be used to deter a potential takeover of the Company that may otherwise be beneficial to stockholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a shareholder that will vote in accordance with our Board of Directors" desires. A takeover may be beneficial to independent stockholders because, among other reasons, a potential suitor may offer such stockholders a premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing market price. The Company does not have any other provisions in its Articles of Incorporation, by- laws, employment agreements, credit agreements or any other documents that have material anti-takeover consequences. Additionally, the Company has no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements, except as disclosed below, that may have material anti-takeover consequences. The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and this proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device.

     
 

·

Shareholders do not have any preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of common stock that may be issued in the future, and therefore, future issuances of common stock may, depending on the circumstances, have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and other interests of the existing stockholders.

     
 

·

The issuance of additional shares of common stock or preferred stock could have a dilutive effect on a stockholder"s voting power.

 

Although an increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock and preferred stock could, under certain circumstances, also be construed as having an anti-takeover effect (for example, by diluting the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of the Board of Directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination with another company), the Authorized Share Increase is not in response to any effort to accumulate stock or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, or solicitation in opposition to management. Furthermore, the Board of Directors does not currently contemplate recommending the adoption of any other amendments to the Articles of Incorporation that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change control of the Company.

 

We have no plans to issue any of our newly authorized preferred stock, but we may issue shares of our newly issued common stock pursuant to a potential merger of our wholly owned subsidiary, SB Acquisition Corporation, with Sun BioPharma, Inc.  For a discussion of this merger, see "Merger and Potential Change of Control."

 

No Dissenters" Rights as to Authorized Share Increase

 

Under applicable Utah, dissenting shareholders are not entitled to dissenters" rights with respect to the Authorized Share Increase, and we will not independently provide our shareholders with any such right.

ARTICLE AMENDMENTS: AUTHORIZING "BLANK CHECK" PREFERRED STOCK

 

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to designate our authorized preferred stock as "blank check" preferred stock, meaning that the Board will have the authority to determine and designate the rights, preferences and limitations associated with the shares of preferred stock without having to seek a vote of the Company"s shareholders as to those rights, preferences, and limitations (the "Preferred Stock Amendment"). Our Board has recommended to our Majority Shareholders that they vote in favor of the Preferred Stock Amendment, and our Majority Shareholders have voted in favor of the Preferred Stock Amendment.  The votes of our Majority Shareholders were obtained by written consent. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Delaware corporation into which we will merge in the Reincorporation Merger will have a preferred stock provision that gives effect to this Preferred Stock Amendment.  If for any reason we do not effect the Reincorporation Merger, the Preferred Stock Amendment will be effected through an amendment to our Utah Articles of Incorporation.

  

Reasons for the Preferred Stock Amendment

 

The Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholders have approved the authorization of blank-check preferred stock in order to provide the Company with flexibility in pursuing its long-term business objectives. A reserve of preferred shares available for issuance from time-to-time will enable the Company to entertain a broad variety of financing proposals and act quickly upon such proposals without having to solicit shareholder approval prior to taking action. Management may utilize the shares of "blank-check" preferred stock in connection with corporate acquisitions, joint venture arrangements, or for other corporate purposes, including the solicitation and compensation of key personnel. Other than as previously disclosed in the Company"s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and herein, the Company is not currently engaged in any acquisition or similar transaction.

 

After effecting the Preferred Stock Amendment, the Board will have the authority to provide for the issuance of the preferred stock in one or more series, and to establish the number of shares in each series and the designation, relative rights, preferences and limitations of the shares in each series. Utah law requires that the Board use its reasonable business judgment in determining the rights and preferences of the preferred stock, as well as the consideration the Company will receive in exchange for issuing the shares. Nevertheless, preferred stock typically has rights and preferences greater than those associated with common stock. Therefore, the issuance of the preferred stock by the Company could be disadvantageous to holders of our Common Stock in one or more of the following ways:

 

 

·

The issuance of preferred stock could diminish the value of Common Stock now outstanding if the rights and preferences associated with the preferred stock exceeded those associated with the Common Stock;

     
 

·

The issuance of preferred stock that is convertible into Common Stock could result in the dilution of the value of shares now outstanding if the conversion price were less than the current market price of our Common Stock; and

     
 

·

The issuance of preferred stock with preferential voting rights could diminish the voting power of the holders of the Common Stock.

 

The Preferred Stock Amendment is not being filed for the purpose of impeding any takeover attempt, and other than as disclosed herein, management is not aware of any person who is acquiring or plans to acquire control of the Company. Nevertheless, the power of the Board to provide for the issuance of shares having rights and preferences to be determined by the Board without shareholder approval has potential utility as a device to discourage or impede a takeover of the Company. In the event that a non-negotiated takeover were attempted, the private placement of preferred stock into "friendly" hands, or the issuance of preferred stock upon terms very favorable to the preferred shareholder, for example, could make the Company unattractive to the party seeking control of the Company. This would have a detrimental effect on the interests of any stockholder who wanted to tender his or her shares to the party seeking control or who would favor a change in control.

No Dissenters" Rights as to Preferred Stock Amendment

 

Under applicable Utah, dissenting shareholders are not entitled to dissenters" rights with respect to the Preferred Stock Amendment, and we will not independently provide our shareholders with any such right.  

 

REINCORPORATION MERGER

 

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved a proposal to change our corporate domicile from the State of Utah to the State of Delaware through a reincorporation merger.Our Board of Directors has recommended to our Majority Shareholders that they vote in favor of the Reincorporation Merger, and our Majority Shareholders have voted in favor of the Reincorporation Merger.  The votes of our Majority Shareholders were obtained by written consent. In proposing the reincorporation, the Board has purposefully drafted the proposed Delaware certificate of Incorporation and the proposed Bylaws to include provisions commonly maintained by companies incorporated in Delaware to maximize management efficiency, maximize value for the Company under Delaware law, and preserve stockholder rights under Delaware law.

 

We urge you to read carefully the following sections of this Information statement, including the related exhibits. Throughout this section, the term "Company" refers to the existing Utah corporation and the term "Delaware Corporation" or "Cimarron Delaware" refers to a to- be-formed wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of the Company and the proposed successor to the Company.

 

Reasons for the Reincorporation Merger

 

Our Board of Directors believes that there are advantages to the Company that will arise as a result of a change of domicile to Delaware.  Further, our Board of Directors believes that any direct benefit that Delaware law provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits the stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. The Board of Directors believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of Company and its stockholders. As explained in more detail below, these reasons can be summarized as follows:

 

 

·

Prominence, Predictability, and Flexibility of Delaware Law. For many years Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing, and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware in a manner similar to that proposed by the Delaware Corporation. Because of Delaware"s prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs.

     
 

·

Well-Established Principles of Corporate Governance. There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a corporation"s board of directors, such as under the business judgment rule and other standards. We believe that our stockholders will benefit from the well-established principles of corporate governance that Delaware law affords.

     
 

·

Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors. Both Utah and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in the charter to reduce or eliminate the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances. The frequency of claims and litigation pursued against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in carrying out their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. We believe that, in general, Delaware law regarding a corporation"s ability to limit director liability is more developed and provides more guidance than Utah law. As a result, we believe that the more favorable corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable it to compete more effectively with other public companies in attracting and retaining new directors.

The Company has a relatively small market capitalization compared to many other publicly-traded companies, including companies in the industries in which the Delaware Corporation competes. In the view of the Board and the management, this results in the Company facing significant competition for qualified and experienced independent directors. The current corporate governance environment and the additional requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC rules, and NASDAQ rules place a premium on publicly-traded corporations having experienced, independent directors. Accordingly, there is an increased demand for highly qualified independent directors. At the same time, the current environment has increased the scrutiny on director actions and the perception of increased liability of independent directors. As a result, the Board of Directors believes that fewer qualified persons are willing to serve as independent directors, particularly on boards of smaller public companies, and qualified directors are choosing to serve on fewer boards.

 

The Company has experienced difficulty in attracting and retaining experienced, qualified directors, as competition for qualified, independent directors increases, it is reasonable to expect that directors will choose to join or remain with boards of directors of corporations with the most favorable corporate environment. The Board of Directors believes that reincorporation in Delaware will enhance the Company"s ability to attract and retain directors. The vast majority of public corporations are domiciled in Delaware. Not only is Delaware law most familiar to directors, Delaware law provides, as noted above, greater flexibility, predictability, and responsiveness to corporate needs and, as noted below, more certainty regarding indemnification and limitation of liability of directors, all of which will enable the directors to act in the best interest of the Company. As a result, the Board of Directors believes that the more favorable corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable the Company to compete more effectively with other public companies, many of which are already incorporated in Delaware, to retain the Company"s current directors and attract and retain new directors.

 

 

·

More Certainty Regarding Indemnification and Limitation of Liability for Directors. In general, both Utah and Delaware permit a corporation to include a provision in its charter that reduces or limits the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duties with certain exceptions. The increasing frequency of claims and litigation directed against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in exercising their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial and distracting to the directors and officers. The reduction of these risks to its directors and officers and the corresponding limitation on situations in which monetary damages can be recovered against directors may be important in allowing the Company to continue to attract and retain qualified directors. In addition, enhanced protection of directors is expected to reduce the extent to which directors, due to the threat of personal liability, are inhibited from making business decisions that, though entailing some degree of risk, are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Company believes that, in general, Delaware law provides greater protection to directors than Utah law, and that Delaware case law regarding a corporation"s ability to limit director liability is better developed and provides more guidance than Utah law. However, the stockholders should be aware that such protection and limitation of liability inure to the benefit of the directors, and the interest of the Board in recommending the reincorporation may therefore be in conflict with the interests of the stockholders.

 

Effecting the Reincorporation Merger

 

The discussion contained in this section "Effecting the Reincorporation Merger" is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Certificate of Incorporation of the Delaware Corporation, form of Bylaws of the Delaware Corporation, and form of Agreement and Plan of Merger (referred to as "the Merger Agreement"), copies of which are attached to this Information Statement as Exhibits A, B, and C, respectively.

 

The Company"s capital stock consists of 10,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of which 1,450,322 shares were issued and outstanding as of June 12, 2015, and 700,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, none of which are issued.  On the effective date of the reincorporation, Cimarron Delaware will have the same number of outstanding shares of common stock that the Company has outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the reincorporation.

 

As a result of the approval of the Increased Capital Proposal by the Majority Shareholders, if the reincorporation is completed, Delaware"s capital stock will consist of 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, which will be consistent with maintaining adequate capitalization for the current needs of the Company.

The Reincorporation Merger will be effected by merging the Company into Cimarron Delaware. Upon completion of the Reincorporation Merger, the Company will cease to exist and Cimarron Delaware will continue the business of the Company under the name "Cimarron Medical, Inc."  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon the effective date of the Reincorporation Merger, (1) each outstanding share of the Company common stock, no par value, will be automatically converted into one share of Cimarron Delaware common stock, $0.001 par value; and (2) each outstanding option or warrant to purchase the Company common stock will automatically be assumed by Cimarron Delaware, and it will represent an option or warrant to acquire shares of Cimarron Delaware common stock on the basis of one share of Cimarron Delaware common stock for each one share of the Company common stock and at an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the Company option or warrant.

 

Each certificate representing issued and outstanding shares of the Company common stock will represent the same number of shares of common stock of Cimarron Delaware, respectively, into which such shares are converted by virtue of the Merger. IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY TO EXCHANGE THEIR EXISTING STOCK CERTIFICATES FOR STOCK CERTIFICATES OF CIMARRON DELAWARE. HOWEVER, SHAREHOLDERS MAY EXCHANGE THEIR CERTIFICATES IF THEY SO CHOOSE.

 

No Change Will Be Made in the Name, Business, or Physical Location of the Company

 

The Reincorporation Merger will effect only a change in the legal domicile of the Company and other changes of a legal nature, certain of which are described in this Information Statement. The reincorporation will NOT result in any significant change in the name, business, management, fiscal year, accounting, location of the principal executive offices, assets or liabilities of the Company. The current directors of the Company will, at least initially, continue as directors of Cimarron Delaware. All employee benefit plans of the Company will be continued by Cimarron Delaware. The Company"s other employee benefit arrangements will also be continued by Cimarron Delaware upon the terms and subject to the conditions in effect prior to the Reincorporation Merger.

 

Possible Disadvantages

 

Despite the unanimous belief of the Board of Directors that the Reincorporation Merger is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, it should be noted that Delaware law has been criticized by some commentators on the grounds that it does not afford minority stockholders the same substantive rights and protections as are available in a number of other states. It should be noted that the interests of the Board of Directors, management, and affiliated stockholders in connection with the Reincorporation Merger may not be the same as those of unaffiliated stockholders.

With certain exceptions, the provisions of the Cimarron Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are similar to those of the Company"s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. However, the Reincorporation Merger includes the implementation of certain provisions in the Cimarron Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws that may alter the rights of stockholders and the powers of management and reduce stockholder participation in certain important corporate decisions. These provisions may have anti-takeover implications.

 

Approval by the Majority Shareholders of the Reincorporation Merger constituted an approval of the inclusion in the Cimarron Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of each of the provisions described below. In addition, certain other changes altering the rights of stockholders and powers of management could be implemented in the future by amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation following stockholder approval and certain such changes could be implemented by amendment of the Bylaws of Cimarron Delaware without stockholder approval. For a discussion of such changes, see "Comparison of Shareholder Rights Before and After the Reincorporation Merger." This discussion of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Cimarron Delaware is qualified by reference to Exhibits A and B, attached to this Information Statement.

Comparison of Shareholder Rights Before and After the Reincorporation Merger

 

There are certain differences between the rights of our shareholders under:

 

 

·

on one hand, the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Delaware GCL"), the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation ("Delaware Certificate") and the Bylaws of the Delaware company ("Delaware Bylaws") (collectively, such rights, the "Delaware Rights" ); and,

     
 

·

on the other hand, the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (the "Utah RBCA") and Company"s Amended Articles of Incorporation ("Utah Articles") and the current Bylaws ("Utah Bylaws") (collectively, such rights, the "Utah Rights").

 

Set forth below is a description that summarizes some significant differences in the Delaware Rights and the Utah Rights. The summary of the differences is significant because once the Merger becomes effective, the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws in effect immediately prior to the effective date of the Reincorporation Merger would become the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Cimarron Delaware.The Delaware Certificate is attached as Exhibit A.The Delaware Bylaws are attached as Exhibit B.All statements in this Information Statement concerning such documents are qualified by reference to the complete provisions of the documents.

 

In addition to the differences described below, the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws include certain technical differences from the Utah Articles and Utah Bylaws that constitute, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, insignificant differences between Delaware law and Utah law.

 

The description below is not intended to be relied upon as a complete description of the differences, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Utah RBCA, the Delaware GCL, the Utah Articles and Utah Bylaws, and the Delaware Certificate and Delaware Bylaws.

 

The discussion below discusses the Utah Rights as they currently exist and the Delaware Rights as they would exist if the Reincorporation Merger is approved.The discussion does not refer to such rights as they could be amended by amendments to, on one hand, the Delaware Certificate or Delaware Bylaws or, on the other hand, the Utah Articles or Utah Bylaws or by other factors not in existence or contemplated by the Board of Directors.Such amendments could include, among other things, a classified Board of Directors, cumulative voting, or changes from, or back to, default rules in the statute.Other factors not in existence or contemplated include the issuance of Preferred Stock.None of such amendments or other factors is currently contemplated by the Board of Directors.

 

Cimarron Delaware will be incorporated under Delaware law under the name Cimarron Medical, Inc.  The address and phone number of Cimarron Delaware are the same as the address and phone number of the Company. As of the date and time immediately prior to the effective date of the Reincorporation Merger, Cimarron Delaware will not have any material assets or liabilities and will not have carried on any material business.

 

As discussed in "Principal Reasons for the Reincorporation," management believes that reincorporation in Delaware is beneficial to the Company because Delaware corporate law is more comprehensive, widely used and extensively interpreted than other state corporate laws, including Utah corporate law. Management also believes that potential investors and other parties that may enter into contracts with the Company are more familiar with Delaware corporate law. As a result, a reincorporation in Delaware may facilitate future transactions by the Company with third parties.

 

Set forth below is a table that summarizes some of the most significant differences in the rights of the shareholders of the Company before and after the Reincorporation Merger is effective as a result of the differences between Utah law, the Utah Articles and the Utah Bylaws, on the one hand, and Delaware law, the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws, on the other hand. The summary of the differences is significant because if the Reincorporation Merger is effected, the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws, as set forth in Exhibits A and B attached to this information statement, respectively, will become the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation by virtue of the Reincorporation Merger. All statements in this Information Statement concerning such documents are qualified by reference to the complete provisions of the documents. In addition to the differences described below, the Delaware Certificate and the Delaware Bylaws include certain technical differences from the Utah Articles and Utah Bylaws to reflect differences between Delaware law and Utah law. The table below is not intended to be relied upon as an exhaustive list of all differences or a complete description of the differences, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Utah law, Delaware law, the Utah Articles and Utah Bylaws, and the Delaware Certificate and Delaware Bylaws.

Par Value; Surplus; Capital

 

All shares of common and preferred stock of the Company have no par value per share. The concepts of surplus and capital do not exist under Utah law.

 

All shares of common stock of Cimarron Delaware have a par value of $0.001 per share. The concepts of surplus and capital are recognized under Delaware law.

 

 

 

Action by Shareholders Without a Meeting

 

Utah law permits shareholder action by less than unanimous written consent and provides that any action that could be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if written consents are signed by the holders of outstanding 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. Unlike Delaware law, Utah law requires a unanimous written consent of shareholders to elect directors. Utah law provides that, in order to be effective, (i) all written consents must be delivered to the Company within 60 days after the earliest dated consent delivered to the Company, and (ii) prompt notice of the action by written consent must be given to those shareholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of shareholders to take the action were delivered to the Company. Unlike Delaware law, Utah law requires that the actions taken by the written consent of shareholders cannot become effective until at least 10 days after notice of such actions has been furnished to all shareholders who did not sign the written consent.

 

Delaware law permits stockholder action by less than unanimous written consent and provides that any action that could be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders (including the election of directors) may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if written consents are signed by the holders of outstanding 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. Delaware law provides that, in order to be effective, all written consents must be delivered to Cimarron Delaware within 60 days after the earliest dated consent delivered by Cimarron Delaware, and prompt notice of the action by written consent must be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to Company. Unlike Utah law, Delaware law does not stipulate that the actions taken by the written consent of stockholders cannot become effective until at least 10 days after notice of such actions has been furnished to all stockholders who did not sign the written consent.

 

 

 

Special Meetings of Shareholders

 

The Utah Bylaws permit special meetings of the shareholders to be called at any time by the president, or by board of directors, and shall be called by the president at the request of the holders of not less than one-tenth of all the shares entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

The Delaware Bylaws permit special meetings of the shareholders to be called at any time by the board of directors, the chairman of the board, or the CEO only. Special meetings may not be called by the shareholders.

 

 

 

Removal of Directors

 

Utah law provides that any director may be removed, with or without cause, by the shareholders but only at a meeting called for that purpose if notice has been given that a purpose of the meeting is removal.

 

Delaware law provides that any director may be removed, with or without cause, by a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; however, Delaware law also provides that, so long as a Delaware corporation has a classified board of directors, unless otherwise provided in the corporation"s certificate of incorporation, stockholders may effect such removal only for cause. The Delaware Certificate provides that a director may only be removed for cause and only by the affirmative vote of 75% or more of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.

Indemnification

 

Utah law provides that, unless limited by the articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a director who was successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the proceeding, to which he was a party because he is or was a director of the corporation, against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding or claim with respect to which he has been successful. Under Utah law and the Utah Bylaws, the Company has the power, but not an obligation, to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the Company"s best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Under the Utah Articles, the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by Utah law. Under Utah law and the Utah Bylaws, in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Company (a derivative action), indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.  

 

Delaware law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation amounts reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. The Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that directors and officers of Cimarron Delaware shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Delaware Bylaws contain the following provision not currently contained in the Utah Bylaws: mandatory reimbursement of expenses of a director or officer, upon receipt of an undertaking by such director to repay all amounts advanced if such director is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification.

 

 

 

Elimination of Directors" Liability for Monetary Damages

 

Utah law permits a corporation, pursuant to its articles of incorporation, or in certain circumstances its bylaws, to provide for the elimination or limitation of the liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for any action taken or failure to take any action as a director, except liability for (i) the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which he is not entitled; (2) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders; (3) unlawful distributions; or (4) an intentional violation of criminal law. The Utah Articles and Utah Bylaws contain such a provision.

 

Delaware law permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director"s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for payment of a dividend or a stock repurchase or redemption in violation of Delaware law or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Delaware Certificate contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

 
12

 

 Record Date

 

The Utah Bylaws provide that, with respect to all actions requiring the fixing of a record date, the record date may be fixed by the board of directors in advance not more than 70 days before the meeting or action requiring a determination of shareholders.

 

The Delaware Bylaws provide that, with respect to all actions requiring the fixing of a record date; the record date may be fixed by the board of directors in advance not more than 60 days nor less than ten days before the date of any a meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action.

 

 

 

Amendment to the Articles (Certificate) of Incorporation

 

Amendments to the Utah Articles (other than ministerial amendments authorized by the board of directors without shareholder action) may be proposed by the board of directors. The board of directors must recommend the amendment to the shareholders, unless the amendment is being proposed by the shareholders, or unless the board of directors determines that, because of a conflict of interest or other special circumstances, it should make no recommendation and the board of directors then communicates the basis for its determination to the shareholders with the amendment.

 

Under Delaware law, stockholders are not entitled to enact, without any action taken by the board of directors, an amendment to the Delaware Certificate. Amendments to the Delaware Certificate generally require that the board of directors adopt a resolution setting forth the amendment, declaring its advisability and submitting it to a vote of the stockholders.

 

 

 

Amendment to the By-laws

 

The Utah Bylaws provide that the board of directors or the shareholders may amend the bylaws, except that the board of directors cannot amend a bylaw that fixes a shareholder quorum or voting requirement that is greater than required by Utah law.

 

The Delaware Certificate and Delaware Bylaws provide that the board of directors may amend the bylaws at any time, but the shareholders may only do so with the affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

 

 

  Advance Notice Bylaws

 

Unlike the Delaware Bylaws, the Utah Bylaws do not contain an advance notice provision.

 

Under Delaware law, a corporation may adopt an advance notice bylaw provision that provides that a stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting may nominate a person for election as a director or may propose other business to be conducted at such a meeting only if advance written notice of such director nomination or stockholder proposal is given. Under the Delaware Bylaws, written notice of such stockholders" intent to make such nomination or to propose such other business at an annual meeting of stockholders generally must be received by the corporation"s secretary not later than 90 days, nor earlier than 120 days, prior to the first anniversary date of the preceding year"s annual meeting. Any stockholder wishing to nominate a person as director or to propose such other business must submit certain information as set forth in the Delaware Bylaws.

 

 

 

Dissolution

 

Under Utah law, the board of directors of the Company may submit a proposal of voluntary dissolution of the Company to the shareholders entitled to vote thereon. The board of directors must recommend such dissolution to the shareholders as part of the dissolution proposal, unless the board of directors determines that, because of a conflict of interest or other special circumstances, it should make no recommendation and communicates the basis for its determination to the shareholders.

 

Cimarron Delaware will be subject to the same voting requirement with respect to a dissolution; however, if the board of directors does not initially approve the dissolution, then the stockholder vote required for the dissolution is a unanimous written consent of all stockholders entitled to vote thereon.

 

 
13

 

Dividends

 

Utah law provides that the payment of dividends and other distributions is generally permissible unless, after giving effect to the dividend or distribution, the Company would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or if the total assets of the Company would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the Company were dissolved at the time the dividend was paid, to satisfy the preferential rights of shareholders whose preferential rights upon dissolution are superior than those of the shareholders receiving the dividend. Because Utah law dispenses with the statutory definitions of capital and surplus, the above limitation is the only limitation with respect to the declaration of dividends by the board of directors of the Company.

 

Delaware law provides the same provision with respect to declaration of dividends as Utah law. However, unlike in Utah, the concepts of capital and surplus are retained in Delaware. Delaware law defines surplus as the excess of the net assets of the corporation over its capital. Unless the corporation"s board of directors determines otherwise, the capital of the corporation is equal to the aggregate par value of the issued shares of stock having par value. Therefore, Delaware law permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of the net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or for the preceding fiscal year.

 

 

 

Corporate Records

 (Form of Records)

 

Under Utah law, the Company is required to keep, as permanent records, minutes of all meetings of the shareholders and the board of directors of the Company, a record of all actions taken by the shareholders or the board of directors without a meeting, a record of all actions taken by a committee of the board of directors, and a record of all waivers of notices of meetings of shareholders and of the board of directors or any committee of the board of directors. In addition, Utah law requires the Company to keep specific records at its principal office, including the Utah Articles, the Utah Bylaws, the minutes of all shareholders" meetings, records of all action taken by shareholders without a meeting for the past three years, a list of the names and business addresses of its current officers and directors, its most recent annual report to the Utah Division of Corporations and Commercial Code, and all financial statements prepared for periods ending during the last 3 years.

 

Delaware law does not require that Cimarron Delaware keep any specific records at any particular place or for a specific period of time. The Delaware Bylaws, however, generally require the board of directors to keep records of minutes of meetings of the board and shareholders, appropriate books and registers and such books of record and accounts as may be necessary for the proper conduct of the business of the Corporation, and all such records can be kept at the principal office of the Corporation, or at any other place. 

 

 

 

Examination of Books

 and Records

 

Under Utah law, any record or beneficial shareholder of the Company may, upon five business days" written demand, inspect certain records, including shareholder actions, minutes of shareholder meetings, communications with shareholders and recent financial statements. In addition, upon five business days" written demand, any such shareholder may inspect the list of shareholders and certain other corporate records, including minutes of the meetings of board of directors of the Company, provided that the demand is made in good faith and for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person"s interests as a shareholder.

 

The inspection rights of the stockholders of Cimarron Delaware are the same as under Utah law, except that if Cimarron Delaware refuses to permit inspection or does not reply to the demand within five business days after the demand has been made, the stockholder may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for an order to compel such inspection.

 

 
14

 

Dissenters" (Appraisal) Rights

 

Under Utah law, shareholders are entitled to exercise dissenters" rights in the event of certain mergers, share exchanges, sales, leases, exchanges or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the property of the Company. Dissenters" rights in Utah are available to both record holders and beneficial holders.

 

Delaware law provides appraisal rights only in the case of certain mergers or consolidations. Thus, under Delaware law, stockholders have no appraisal rights in the event of a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of a corporation"s assets. Appraisal rights in Delaware are available only to record holders.

 

 

 

Control Shares

 Acquisition Act

 

As an anti-takeover mechanism, Utah law provides that "control shares" of an "issuing public corporation" acquired in a "control share acquisition" shall have the same rights as they had before such acquisition only to the extent granted by resolution approved by the shareholders, excluding all interested shares. "Control shares" are those that, when combined with all other voting shares held by the shareholder, would entitle the holder to vote in the election of directors within any of the following ranges of voting power: (i) 1/5 or more but less than 1/3 of all voting power; (ii) 1/3 or more but less than a majority of all voting power; or (iii) a majority or more of all voting power. An "issuing public corporation" is defined as a Utah corporation with (i) 100 or more stockholders; (ii) its principal place of business, its principal office, or substantial assets within the state; and (iii) (a) more than 10% of its stockholders resident in Utah; (b) more than 10% of its shares owned by Utah residents; or (c) 10,000 stockholders resident in the state.

 

Delaware does not have an analogous "control shares acquisition" statute.

 

 

 

Reacquisition of Stock by the Corporation

 

Under Utah law and the Company"s Bylaws the Company may acquire its own shares, and, except in certain circumstances, such shares will constitute authorized but unissued shares.

 

Delaware law requires that (i) all repurchases of shares by a corporation generally be made of out of surplus, and (ii) a purchase of shares redeemable at the option of the corporation not be made for more than the price at which the shares may then be redeemed. Shares of stock issued by Cimarron Delaware as fully paid, and afterwards reacquired by Cimarron Delaware, would have the status of "treasury shares" if the board of directors does not, by resolution, retire the shares reacquired. Treasury shares that have a par value may be resold at any price fixed by the board of directors.

 

 
15

 

Accounting Treatment of the Reincorporation Merger

 

The Reincorporation Merger would be accounted for as a merger whereby, for accounting purposes, the Company would be considered the acquirer, and the surviving corporation would be treated as the successor to the historical operations of the Company. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of the Company, which the Company previously reported to the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, among other forms, as of and for all periods through the date of this Information Statement, would be treated as the financial statements of the surviving corporation.

 

Regulatory Approval

 

To the Company"s knowledge, the only required regulatory or governmental approval or filings necessary in connection with the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger would be the filing of Articles of Merger with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code, and the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

 

Securities Act Consequences

 

The shares of Cimarron Delaware common stock to be issued upon conversion of shares of the Company common stock in the Reincorporation Merger are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").In this regard, we are relying on Rule 145 (a)(2) under the Securities Act ("Rule 145"), which provides that a merger that has "as its sole purpose" a change in the domicile of a corporation does not involve the sale of securities for purposes of the Securities Act.After the Reincorporation Merger, Cimarron Delaware will be a publicly held company, Cimarron Delaware common stock will continue to be qualified for quotation on the Pink Sheets, and Cimarron Delaware will file periodic reports and other documents with the SEC and provide to its stockholders the same types of information that the Company has previously filed and provided.

 

Holders of shares of the Company common stock that are freely tradable before the Reincorporation Merger will continue to have freely tradable shares of Cimarron Delaware common stock.Stockholders holding so-called restricted shares of the Company common stock will have shares of Cimarron Delaware common stock that are subject to the same restrictions on transfer as those to which their shares of the Company common stock are subject, and their stock certificates, if surrendered for replacement certificates representing shares of Cimarron Delaware common stock, will bear the same restrictive legend as appears on their present stock certificates.For purposes of computing compliance with the holding period requirement of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, stockholders will be deemed to have acquired their shares of Cimarron Delaware common stock on the date they acquired their shares of common stock of the Company.

 

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

The following summary describes certain United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the Reincorporation Merger. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and Treasury regulations, rulings, administrative pronouncements, and judicial decisions as of the date hereof, all of which may be revoked or modified, possibly retroactively so as to result in federal income tax consequences different from those described below. The Company does not intend to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regarding the federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation Merger. This summary does not address all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to the Reincorporation Merger, nor does this summary address the effect of any applicable foreign, state, local or other tax laws. This summary also does not address the federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation Merger to shareholders who are subject to special tax rules, such as shareholders who are non-United States persons, financial institutions, dealers in securities, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, regulated investment companies, pass-through entities, persons who have a functional currency other than the dollar, or persons who hold Company stock other than as a capital asset.

 

 
16

 

The Company believes that, for federal income tax purposes, the Reincorporation Merger would be treated as a tax-free reorganization under section 368 of the Code. No gain or loss would be recognized by the holders of the common stock of the Company as a result of the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger and no gain or loss would be recognized by the Company or Cimarron Delaware. In addition, the Company believes that each former holder of common stock of the Company would have the same basis in the common stock of the surviving corporation received by such person pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger as such holder had in the common stock of the Company held by such person immediately prior to the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger, and such person"s holding period with respect to such common stock of the surviving corporation would include the period during which such holder held the corresponding common stock of the Company, provided the latter was held by such person as a capital asset immediately prior to the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger. Shareholders owning at least one percent (by vote or value) of the total outstanding stock of the Company immediately before the Reincorporation Merger may be required to file a statement with their tax return containing certain information regarding the Reincorporation Merger.

 

State, local or foreign income tax consequences to shareholders may vary from the federal tax consequences described above. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE EFFECT OF THE REINCORPORATION MERGER UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN INCOME TAX LAWS.

 

TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH IRS CIRCULAR 230, (I) THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION WAS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UNDER FEDERAL TAX LAW; (II) THIS DISCUSSION WAS WRITTEN TO SUPPORT THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE REINCORPORATION MERGER; AND (III) EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON HIS OR HER PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

 

Dissenters" Rights as to Reincorporation Merger

 

Shareholders of the Company of record on the Record Date (i.e., June 12, 2015) will have dissenters" rights under the Utah RBCA as a result of the proposed Reincorporation Merger. Shareholders who oppose the Reincorporation Merger will have the right to receive payment for the value of their shares as set forth in sections 16-10 (a)-1301-1331 of the Utah RBCA. A copy of these sections is attached hereto as Exhibit D to this Information Statement. The material requirements for a shareholder to properly exercise his or her dissenter"s rights are summarized below. However, these provisions are very technical in nature, and shareholders are encouraged to carefully read and understand the actual statutory provisions governing the assertion of such rights.

 

Requirements for Exercising Dissenters" Rights

 

Under the Utah RBCA, dissenters" rights will be available only to those shareholders of the Company who (i) object to the proposed Reincorporation Merger in writing prior to the Effective date of the Merger; and (ii) did not consent in writing to the proposed Reincorporation Merger.

 

TO BE ENTITLED TO PAYMENT, THE DISSENTING SHAREHOLDER MUST FILE WITH THE COMPANY WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF MAILING HEREOF A WRITTEN NOTICE OF INTENT TO DEMAND PAYMENT OF THE FAIR VALUE OF THE SHARES AND MUST NOT CONSENT IN WRITING TO THE PROPOSED REINCORPORATION MERGER; PROVIDED, THAT SUCH DEMAND SHALL BE OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT IF THE PROPOSED REINCORPORATION MERGER IS NOT EFFECTED.

 

The notice must be submitted to the Company at 10 W. Broadway, Ste. 700, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84101, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, and must be received by the 30th day following the date of the mailing hereof.

 

Any shareholder contemplating the exercise of these dissenter"s rights should review carefully the provisions of Sections 16-10(a)-1301et. seq. of the Utah RBCA, particularly the procedural steps required to perfect such rights. SUCH DISSENTER"S RIGHTS WILL BE LOST IF THESE PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT FULLY AND PRECISELY SATISFIED. A SUMMARY OF THE STATUTORY PROCEDURE TO PERFECT YOUR DISSENTER"S RIGHTS IS SET FORTH BELOW, AND A COPY OF SECTIONS 16-10(a)-1301 ET. SEQ. OF THE URBCA IS ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT D.

Procedure for Exercising Dissenters" Rights

 

Shareholders have 30 days to make their payment demands or lose such rights. If required in the notice of dissenters" rights each dissenting shareholder must also certify whether or not he or she acquired beneficial ownership of such shares before or after the date of the first announcement to the public of the proposed merger. Upon receipt of each demand for payment, the Company will pay each dissenting shareholder the amount that the Company estimates to be the fair value of such shareholder"s shares, plus interest from the date of the completion of the Reincorporation Merger to the date of payment. With respect to any dissenting shareholder who does not certify that he or she acquired beneficial ownership of the shares prior to the first public announcement of the transaction, the Company may, instead of making payment, offer such payment if the dissenter agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of his or her demand. "Fair Value" means the market value of the shares immediately before the effectuation of the Reincorporation Merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of such events.

 

Any dissenter who does not wish to accept the payment or offer made by the Company must notify the Company in writing of his or her own estimate of the fair value of the shares within 30 days after the date the Company makes or offers payment. UNLESS A SHAREHOLDER MAKES SUCH A DEMAND WITHIN SUCH THIRTY-DAY PERIOD, THE SHAREHOLDER WILL BE ENTITLED ONLY TO THE AMOUNT ESTIMATED BY THE COMPANY. If the dissenting shareholder and the Company are unable to agree on the fair value of the shares, then the Company will commence a proceeding with the Utah courts within 60 days after receiving the dissenter"s notice of his or her own estimate of fair value. If the Company does not commence such a proceeding within the 60-day period, it must pay each dissenter whose demand remains unresolved the amount demanded by such dissenter.

 

If a proceeding is commenced, the court will determine the fair value of the shares and may appoint one or more appraisers to help determine such value. All dissenting shareholders must be a party to the proceeding, and all such shareholders will be entitled to judgment against the Company for the amount of the fair value of their shares, to be paid on surrender of the certificates representing such shares. The judgment will include an allowance for interest (at a rate determined by the court) to the date of payment. The costs of the court proceeding, including the fees and expenses of any appraisers, will be assessed against the Company unless the court finds that the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith in demanding payment at a higher amount than that offered by the Company. Both the Company and the dissenters must bear their own respective legal fees and expenses, unless the court requires one party to pay such legal fees and expenses because of the conduct of such party.

 

The loss or forfeiture of dissenter"s rights simply means the loss of the right to receive a cash payment from the Company in exchange for shares. In such event the shareholder would still hold the appropriate number of shares of the Company.

 

Regulatory Approval

 

To the Company"s knowledge, no regulatory or governmental approval or filings are necessary in connection with the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger.The only filings necessary in connection with the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger would be the filing of articles of merger with the Division of Corporations, Department of Commerce, State of Utah and the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

 

MERGER AND POTENTIAL CHANGE OF CONTROL

 

On June 12, 2015, the Company (Cimarron Software, Inc., a Utah corporation), Sun BioPharma, Inc. ("Sun BioPharma," or the "Target Company"), and SB Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company recently incorporated in the State of Delaware (the "Merger Subsidiary") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E (the "Merger Agreement"). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Target Company (the "Merger"), and the Target Company will be the surviving corporation to the Merger and become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger is expected to close on or about August 3, 2015, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. We are required to effect the Reincorporation Merger discussed above, changing our domicile to the State of Delaware with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, prior to closing the Merger.

Description of Business

 

About Sun BioPharma

 

Sun BioPharma is a pre-clinical stage drug development company founded with technology from The University of Florida, College of Pharmacy (the "University").  Sun BioPharma has licensed from the University a polyamine analogue compound (SBP-101) exhibiting extraordinary specificity for the exocrine pancreas, with therapeutic potential for both pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis indications.  Studies in dogs revealed ablation, or "chemical resection", of the exocrine pancreatic architecture, while leaving the islet cells functionally unchanged.  Sun BioPharma may refer to this effect as: "pharmaceutical pancreatectomy with islet auto-transplant" (PP-IAT).  Xenograft studies of human pancreatic cancer cells transplanted into mice indicate that SBP-101 suppresses both primary and metastatic growth of these cells.  To facilitate and accelerate the development of this compound in the pancreatic cancer indication, Sun BioPharma has also acquired data and materials related to this technology from other researchers.  Sun BioPharma believes that SBP-101, if successfully developed, may represent a novel approach that effectively treats pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis, and could become the dominant product in these markets.  It is important to note that only three treatment options for pancreatic cancer have been approved by the United States (US) Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in the last 20 years, and that no drugs have been approved for the treatment of patients with pancreatitis. 

 

Sun BioPharma estimates that completion of necessary preclinical development work, the completion of a Phase 1 clinical trial in pancreatic cancer and initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial in pancreatitis, will require additional funding of at least $10 million in addition to what Sun BioPharma has already raised prior to this transaction.  Additional clinical trials will be subsequently required for FDA approval if the results of Sun BioPharma"s first clinical trials are positive.  Sun BioPharma currently estimates the additional time and cost to obtain FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) approval and bring SBP-101 to market in these two indications to be 6 to 7 years and up to $200 million.

 

Sun BioPharma was founded in September 2011 as a Delaware corporation.  With approximately $10 million in capital raised to date from all sources, the founders of Sun BioPharma have organized Sun BioPharma, evaluated and secured its technology, and have completed initial non-clinical steps in the development plan for their lead drug candidate, which Sun BioPharma has designated as SBP-101.  An Investigative New Drug ("IND") application has been submitted to the US FDA, is currently in review, and may enable start of a Phase 1 clinical trial in the pancreatic cancer indication by the end of 2015.

 

Introduction

 

An effective treatment for pancreatic cancer remains a major unmet medical need.  Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, which accounts for ninety-five percent (95%) of all cases of pancreatic cancer, has a median overall survival rate of 8 to 11 months in patients with favorable prognostic signs and optimal chemotherapy.  Every year more than 40,000 Americans, and over 300,000 persons worldwide, are afflicted with this disease.  Pancreatic cancer is ranked ninth among all cancers in terms of occurrence, but is currently the fourth-leading cause of cancer death in the US.  A recent report from the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network projects that pancreatic cancer deaths in the US will soon surpass those from breast and colorectal cancers, where earlier detection and modestly successful drug interventions have been developed, to rank number two in deaths, behind only lung cancer.  The five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer remains at less than six percent (6%), and there has been little significant improvement in survival since gemcitabine was approved in the US in 1996.

 

Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is often delayed because the initial clinical signs and symptoms are vague and non-specific.  By the time of diagnosis, the cancer often is locally advanced or metastatic (usually to regional lymph nodes, liver, lung and peritoneum), and is seldom amenable to surgical resection with curative intent.

 

Currently, surgical resection offers the only potentially curative therapy, but most patients have disease that is unresectable at the time of diagnosis. The prognosis for these patients is poor and most die from complications related to progression. Treatment for metastatic disease is limited to chemotherapy.  Current chemotherapy treatment regimens vary from single agent gemcitabine and various gemcitabine combinations to the multi-drug FOLFIRINOX (Conroy NEJM 2011) regimen, frequently supplemented with white blood cell (WBC) growth factors.  Compared to gemcitabine alone, these combination therapies deliver to selected patients with good performance status median survival benefits ranging from 7 weeks (Von Hoff NEJM 2013) to 4 months (Conroy NEJM 2011).

 

It has been demonstrated that SBP-101 induces apoptosis in the acinar cells of the pancreas by activation of caspase 3.  In animal models at two independent laboratories, SBP-101 has demonstrated nearly complete suppression of transplanted human pancreatic cancer tumor models, including metastases.  Sun BioPharma intends to develop and commercialize SBP-101 as a unique and novel targeted approach to treating pancreatic cancer.  Sun BioPharma also intend to continue evaluation of the potential value of SBP-101 in the treatment of patients with pancreatitis.

Pancreatic Cancer

 

Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas afflicts approximately 61,000 people in the European Union (Eurostat 2014) and nearly 45,000 people in the United States annually (337,000 people worldwide World Health Organization 2014); it is the seventh leading cause of death from cancer in Europe (GLOBOCAN 2012) and the fourth leading cause of death from cancer in the United States (SEER Cancer Statistics Factsheets 2014).  Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) represents approximately 95% of all pancreatic cancers.  Considering that the median overall survival for previously untreated patients with good performance status is between 8.5 months (Von Hoff 2013) and 11.1 months (Conroy 2011) with the best available treatment regimens, effective treatment for PDA remains a major unmet medical need.

 

Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is usually delayed because the initial clinical signs and symptoms are vague and non-specific.  The most common presenting symptoms include weight loss, epigastric (upper central region of the abdomen) and/or back pain, and jaundice.  The back pain is typically dull, constant, and of visceral origin radiating to the back, in contrast to the epigastric pain which is vague and intermittent.  Less common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and glucose intolerance (Hidalgo 2010).  By the time the diagnosis is made, the cancer often is locally advanced or metastatic (usually to regional lymph nodes, liver, lung and peritoneum), and is seldom amenable to surgical resection with curative intent. 

 

For the minority of patients who present with resectable disease, surgery is the treatment of choice.  Depending on the location of the tumor the operative procedures may involve cephalic pancreatoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure), distal pancreatectomy or total pancreatectomy.  Pancreatic enzyme deficiency and diabetes are frequent complications of these procedures.  Up to 70% of patients with pancreatic cancer present with biliary obstruction, that can be relieved by percutaneous or endoscopic stent placement.  However, even if the tumor is fully resected, the outcome in patients with pancreatic cancer is disappointing (Hidalgo 2010, Seufferlein 2012).  Post-operative administration of chemotherapy improved progression-free and overall survival in three large, randomized clinical trials (Hidalgo 2010), but median post-surgical survival in patients treated in all three trials was similar: only 20-22 months.

 

For the majority patients, who present with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease, management options range from chemotherapy alone to combined forms of treatment with chemoradiation therapy and chemotherapy.  However, due to the increased toxicity of combined treatment, randomized trials of such combined regimens have had low enrollment, precluding a firm conclusion as to any advantage of adding chemoradiation to chemotherapy (Hidalgo 2010).

 

Gemcitabine was the first chemotherapeutic agent approved for the treatment of PDA, providing a median survival duration of 5.65 months (Burris 1997).  Gemcitabine monotherapy was the standard of care for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer until combination therapy with gemcitabine plus erlotinib (TarcevaÒ) was shown to increase median survival by 2 weeks.  This modest benefit was tempered by a significant side effect profile and high cost, limiting its adoption as a standard treatment regimen.  More recently, the multidrug chemotherapy combination of leucovorin, fluorouracil, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) was shown to provide a median survival benefit of 4.3 months (OS = 11.1 months) over gemcitabine alone (6.8 months), but its side effect profile limits the regimen to select patients with a good performance status and often requires supplementation with WBC growth factor therapy.  Nab-paclitaxel (AbraxaneÒ) received marketing authorization for use in combination with gemcitabine after showing an increase in overall survival of 7 weeks compared to gemcitabine alone (Von Hoff 2013).  Thus, combination therapies have demonstrated limited survival benefit compared to gemcitabine alone as summarized in the table below (Thota 2014).  Other drugs are currently under investigation, but none have received marketing authorization for the treatment of PDA.

 

 
23

 

 

Chronic Pancreatitis

 

A second potential indication for SBP-101 is treatment of patients with the serious and potentially life-threatening condition of chronic pancreatitis.  Chronic pancreatitis occurs in about 10% of the approximately 300,000 patients who suffer from acute pancreatitis annually in the US.  Pancreatitis is a painful abdominal condition occurring most often in adults aged 30-40 years, and is associated in some cases with increased consumption of alcohol and tobacco, and less often, with the presence of stones in the bile or pancreatic duct system.  In a small minority of cases the disease may be hereditary, but many cases have no clear precipitating etiology.  Treatment is limited to supportive care, as there are no specific agents approved for treatment of acute or chronic pancreatitis.  Patients with chronic pancreatitis endure repeated episodes of abdominal pain, often with progression to narcotic dependency and to pancreatic enzyme deficiency, as well as insulin dependent diabetes mellitus as a consequence of the ultimate destruction of pancreatic function.  Once a patient has suffered from repeated painful bouts of chronic pancreatitis and become narcotic- and pancreatic enzyme-dependent, they may be offered a total pancreatectomy.  A total pancreatectomy is an extensive surgical procedure resulting in the resection of the pancreas (guaranteeing both pancreatic enzyme deficiency as well as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus), and often includes the spleen, gall bladder and appendix.  The operation is both extensive and expensive.  While the goal of a total pancreatectomy in patients with chronic pancreatitis is pain relief, as many as 60% remain narcotic dependent, and even with islet auto transplantation, i.e., isolation and transplant of the patient"s remaining functional islets, if any, over 70% remain insulin dependent.  The combination of a total pancreatectomy and islet auto transplant (TP & IAT) represents a small subset of the surgical approaches to patients with chronic pancreatitis.  Thus, a patient with chronic pancreatitis may face months of abdominal pain, narcotic dependence, the onset of diabetes mellitus, the requirement for both insulin and pancreatic enzyme replacement, and finally, an extensive and expensive surgical procedure which may not materially improve any of his symptoms. 

 

 
24

 

SBP-101, with an organ-specific ability to target the acinar cells of the pancreas, may represent an opportunity for up to 30,000 US patients annually with chronic pancreatitis to experience an early, non-surgical intervention into the natural history of their disease, with the potential to avoid narcotic dependency, insulin dependency and months of painful bouts of chronic pancreatitis.  Patients would still require pancreatic enzyme replacement, but may be able to avoid surgery, diabetes, insulin and narcotic dependency.  Consultation with pancreatitis experts at Harvard University, the Ohio State University, the University of Minnesota, Cedars Sinai Medical Center and the National Institute of Health (NIH) has resulted in enthusiastic endorsement of the study of SBP-101 in the treatment of patients with pancreatitis.

 

Clinical development of SBP-101 for the treatment of patients with pancreatitis is expected to proceed following the pancreatic cancer indication, with FDA consultation in a pre-IND meeting, completion of a series of IND-enabling nonclinical toxicology and pharmacology studies, and submission of an IND package to the FDA.  It is important to note that much of this nonclinical work will be employed to support an IND for a Phase 1 pancreatic cancer trial prior to the IND in chronic pancreatitis. 

 

Proprietary Technology

 

Function and Characteristics of Polyamines

 

Polyamines are metabolically distinct entities within human cells which bind to and facilitate DNA replication, RNA transcription and processing, and protein (such as pancreatic enzymes) synthesis.  Human cells contain three essential and naturally occurring polyamines"putrescine, spermidine, and spermine"that, in contrast to cell building blocks such as amino acids and sugars, remain as metabolically distinct entities inside the cell.  Polyamines perform many functions necessary for cellular proliferation and protein synthesis.  The critical balance of polyamines within cells is maintained by several enzymes such as ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and spermidine/spermine N1 acetyl transferase (SSAT).  All of these homeostatic enzymes are short-lived, rapidly inducible intracellular proteins that serve to tightly and continuously regulate native polyamine pools. These enzymes constantly maintain polyamines within a very narrow range of concentration inside the cell.

 

Polyamine Analogues

 

Polyamine analogues such as SBP-101 are structurally similar to naturally occurring polyamines, and are recognized by the cell"s polyamine uptake system, allowing these compounds to gain rapid entrance to the cell.  Evidence suggests that pancreatic acinar cells, because of their extraordinary protein synthesis capacity, exhibit enhanced uptake of polyamines and polyamine analogues such as SBP-101.  Because of preferential uptake by pancreatic acinar cells, polyamine analogies such as SBP-101 disrupt the cell"s polyamine balance and biosynthetic network, and induce programmed cell death via caspase 3 activation (apoptosis).  Proof of concept has been demonstrated in multiple human pancreatic cancer models, both in vivo and in vitro, that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma exhibits sensitivity to SBP-101.  It is also known that many tumors, including pancreatic cancer, display an increased uptake rate of polyamines and polyamine analogues.

 

SBP-101

 

SBP-101 is a proprietary polyamine analogue, which accumulates in the acinar cells of the beagle pancreas causing a complete pharmaceutical resection of the exocrine pancreas, but without producing an inflammatory response.  Due to a physiologically high intracellular concentration, SBP-101 induces disruption in acinar cells and pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells, which exhibit similar characteristics.  Pancreatic islet cells, which secrete insulin, are structurally and functionally dissimilar to acinar cells and are not impacted by SBP-101. 

 

The primary mechanism of action for SBP-101 has been demonstrated to include the enhanced uptake of the compound in the exocrine pancreas.  This effect leads to corresponding depressed levels of native polyamines, with caspase 3 activation and apoptotic destruction of the exocrine pancreatic architecture without an inflammatory response.  In animal models at two independent laboratories, SBP-101 has demonstrated significant suppression of transplanted human pancreatic cancer cells, including metastatic pancreatic cancer growth.  See "Proof of Principle" below. 

 

 
25

 

Sun BioPharma believes that SBP-101 will have a distinct advantage over current pancreatic cancer therapies in that it specificallytargets the exocrine pancreas and may cause ablation, or pharmaceutical resection, of the acinar cells, as well as the primary and metastatic pancreatic cancer, while leaving the insulin-producing islet cells and most non-pancreatic tissue unharmed.  Most current cancer therapies (including chemotherapy, radiation or surgery) are associated with significant side effects that further reduce the patient"s quality of life.  However, Sun BioPharma believes that the adverse effects of SBP-101 will be limited to the gastrointestinal tract.  It is expected that SBP-101 will produce exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and other GI adverse events, which may already be present as a common complication of advanced pancreatic cancer and part of the natural history of the disease.  Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is treatable with currently marketed digestive enzyme replacement capsules, such as CreonÒ (AbbVie).  As the endocrine pancreas is expected to be unaffected by SBP-101, no new requirement for insulin is expected.

 

Proof of Principle

 

SBP-101 has been tested and found effective in two separate in vivomodels of human pancreatic cancer. SBP-101 was used to treat mice subcutaneously transplanted with the human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1.  A dose-response for efficacy was demonstrated with a 26 mg/kg daily injection resulting in near complete suppression of the transplanted tumor, as shown in Figure 1.

Source:  Study BERG20100R1a (MIR1581) (data on file)  note: SBP-101 was formerly known as SUN-101

 

A separate orthotopic xenograft study (direct transplant of tumor into the pancreas) employed a particularly aggressive human pancreatic cancer cell line, L3.6pl, that is known to metastasize from the pancreas to the liver and the peritoneum in mice.  Mice implanted with L3.6pl were treated with SBP-101 that had been sourced with a different synthetic process from that of the PANC-1 study, and the results were compared with untreated control mice and with mice treated with gemcitabine (then current "gold standard" treatment).  SBP-101 (at 25 mg/kg) was demonstrably more effective than the comparator gemcitabine therapy in suppressing the tumor, as shown in Figure 2.

The potential for SBP-101 as an effective therapy for pancreatic cancer has therefore been demonstrated in vivoby two separate investigators, employing two different human pancreatic cancer cell lines in two different animal models, using SBP-101 synthesized by two different routes, while arriving at nearly equal, and remarkably effective, doses of 25 and 26 mg/kg, respectively.  Additionally, when compared in vitro to existing therapies, SBP-101 produced superior results in suppressing growth of  pancreatic cancer cells. 

 

Development Plan for SBP- 101

 

Development of SBP-101 for the pancreatic cancer indication includes a preclinical and a clinical phase.  The preclinical phase consists of four primary components: chemistry, manufacturing and controls (CMC), preclinical (laboratory and animal) pharmacology studies, preclinical toxicology studies, and regulatory submissions in Australia and the US.  Pursuant to a potentially earlier start of clinical (human) trials in Australia, an HREC (Human Research Ethics Committee) application will be submitted with subsequent CTN (Clinical Trial Notification) to the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration).  Complementing the Australian initiative, a similar, but considerably more extensive, preclinical package has been submitted to the US FDA in support of an IND (Investigational New Drug) application, enabling the same clinical trial to open at sites in the US.  The initial clinical trial in previously treated patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer will be a Phase 1 First-in-Human study with a dose-escalation phase, and possibly an expansion phase at the anticipated recommended treatment dose, conducted at clinical sites in both Australia and the US.  Sun BioPharma has engaged expert clinicians who treat pancreatic cancer at major cancer treatment centers in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, Australia as well as the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle, Washington; the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio; and Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) in Scottsdale, Arizona.  These Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) with demonstrated proven performance in pancreatic cancer studies have enthusiastically agreed to participate as investigators for Sun BioPharma"s Phase 1 First-in-Human study. 

 

Subject to obtaining sufficient financing, Sun BioPharma expects to be positioned to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial of SBP-101 in previously treated pancreatic cancer patients is expected to start  in late 2015 at up to three sites in Australia and another three sites in the US.  Sun BioPharma estimates that additional funding of $10 million will be required to complete preclinical work, obtain regulatory milestones (a CTN and an IND) and complete the Phase 1 First-in-Human study.  Once human data have been acquired with SBP-101 in a Phase 1 trial, Sun BioPharma will evaluate the estimated response rate and determine whether this novel approach to pancreatic cancer could be safe and effective.  A response rate of at least 30% with a reasonable safety profile will justify continued development of SBP-101 for patients with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. 

 

 
27

 

Cancer therapeutics typically require a successful randomized Phase 3 trial that shows a survival advantage, with costs often exceeding $250-350 million before efficacy is established.  Sun BioPharma believes that the unique specificity of SBP-101 to the pancreas and pancreatic adenocarcinoma will permit a potential safety and efficacy demonstration and decision point to be reached with a randomized Phase 2 study following a successful Phase 1 demonstration of safety and tolerability with cancer project spending of less than $20 million for completion of the Phase 1 study.

 

Given the laboratory evidence of comparative efficacy, Sun BioPharma believes that SBP-101 has the potential to change the standard of care for patients with pancreatic cancer, either as monotherapy, or more likely, in combination with existing therapy.

 

Preclinical Development

 

To enable IND and HREC/CTN submission and as part of its pharmacology work, Sun BioPharma has conducted plasma and urine assay development and validation in animals, in vitro metabolism studies in liver microsomes and hepatocytes, in vitro interaction studies with hepatic and renal transporters, a protein binding study, animal pharmacokinetic and metabolism/mass balance studies, and human plasma and urine assay development and validation. As a part of the pharmacology evaluation, Sun BioPharma has conducted in vitro pharmacology screen profiling assay, a study in six human pancreatic cell lines, and studies in tumor xenograft models in mice using PANC-1 cell lines and human pancreatic cancer cells (L3.6pl) injected orthotopically in the tail of the pancreas of nude mice. 

 

To meet regulatory requirements and to establish the safety profile of SBP-101, Sun BioPharma has conducted, in rodents and non-rodents, toxicology dose-ranging studies, IND-enabling general toxicology studies, and genetic toxicology studies, including an Ames test.  Exploratory studies in mice and rats and a Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)-compliant dog toxicology study have been completed.  The relationship between dose and exposure (pharmacokinetics) has been described for all three species.  Sun BioPharma has also completed a preclinical hERG assay to detect any electrocardiographic QTc interval effects (IKrpotassium ion channel testing).  Additionally, Sun BioPharma may also conduct reproductive toxicity, immunotoxicity as well as phototoxicity testing if necessary (but not prior to the Phase 1 trial).  As Sun BioPharma anticipates the possibility of using SBP-101 in combination therapy with gemcitabine or AbraxaneÒ, Sun will conduct appropriate nonclinical studies to evaluate the use of these combinations.  Sun BioPharma will also evaluate comparative efficacy of SBP-101, gemcitabine and nab- paclitaxel in various combinations.

 

Although epidemiology of pancreatic cancer indicates that this is a disease of the older patient and is seen only rarely in the pediatric population, preliminary discussions with pediatric oncologists have nonetheless suggested that SBP-101 be considered for exploratory studies in children with pancreatic cancer. 

 

Overall, given the pharmacodynamic effect of SBP-101, Sun BioPharma does not presently anticipate that indications other than pancreatic adenocarcinoma and pancreatitis will be developed.  Longer term, however, Sun BioPharma may explore the use of SBP-101 in hepatocellular or biliary tract carcinoma, given that the drug is known to also be taken up by the liver at fairly high levels.

 

Sun BioPharma has met FDA-mandated Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control (CMC) requirements with a combination of in-house expertise and contractual arrangements.  To date, preparation of anticipated metabolites and an internal standard as a prerequisite for Sun BioPharma"s analytical studies have been completed through a Sponsored Research Agreement with the University of Florida and a contract manufacturer.  Sun BioPharma has completed Service Agreements with Syngene International Ltd. for the manufacture and supply of specific quantities of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) SBP-101 active pharmaceutical agreement (API) and for the development of synthetic process improvements.  Investigational product (IP or clinical trial supply) has been made and tested at Albany Molecular Research Inc. (AMRI) in Burlington, MA.

The preclinical work to support the IND submission has been completed.  An IND application package containing the following: an Investigator"s Brochure; a statement of general investigative plans; the proposed Phase 1 pancreatic cancer study protocol, a data management and statistical plan; the CMC data; and the pharmacology, ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion), and toxicology data.  Preparation of the SBP-101 IND for pancreatic cancer required collaboration by Sun BioPharma"s manufacturing, preclinical toxicology, pharmacokinetic and metabolism experts, Sun BioPharma"s regulatory affairs project management, and Sun BioPharma"s in-house clinical expertise.  Submission of Sun BioPharma"s pancreatic cancer IND, and allowance thereof by the FDA, will permit Sun BioPharma to proceed in the United States with its Phase 1 clinical trial, that will be a safety and tolerability study in previously treated patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.  This is further discussed in "Clinical Development" below. 

 

Clinical Development " Pancreatic Cancer

 

Given the unique effects of SBP-101 on the mammalian pancreas, special factors have been considered in the design of the first-in-man study. 

 

Phase 1 Clinical Trial Design

 

Subject to obtaining Financing, a Phase 1 study in patients with pancreatic cancer, for a duration of approximately 24 months, is anticipated to enroll the first patient before the end of  2015.  This study is expected to include a dose-escalation phase with 15-day cycles of treatment at each dose level.  At least two cycles of therapy are anticipated in this trial, with continued treatment permitted for patients with clinical responses or stable disease.  The projected safety profile suggests that repeat cycles would be well tolerated.

 

The absence of non-target organ adverse events implies non-overlapping toxicity in the case of subsequent combination with conventional chemotherapeutic agents, such as gemcitabine or nab-paclitaxel, or even FOLFIRINOX.

 

The specific nature of the pancreatic effect implies a single cancer indication (pancreatic adenocarcinoma) for the compound.  This pancreatic effect of the compound also presumably contraindicates study of SBP- 101 in any healthy volunteer studies (such as a definitive QT interval study) due to potential subsequent development of pancreatic insufficiency.  Other than the possible longer-term exploration of SBP-101 in hepatocellular or biliary tract carcinoma (as mentioned earlier), no indication for malignancy other than pancreatic adenocarcinoma is anticipated.  These facts lead to the expedient circumstance that a classic Phase 1 multi-tumor oncology study is not possible.  Accordingly, the first human study of SBP-101 is designed to be a dose-response study, i.e., a Phase 1 study producing Phase 2 results, or a Phase 1a/1b study.

 

An unexpected but favorable characteristic of the pancreatic action of SBP-101 is the lack of an effect on the normal insulin-producing islet cells.  Preservation of the islet cells implies the absence of diabetes as a complication of SBP-101 therapy, although the necessity of supplementary oral pancreatic enzymes is expected to be unavoidable.  Impact of the anticipated adverse effect of pancreatic insufficiency is mitigated by Sun BioPharma"s recognition that many patients with pancreatic carcinoma require pancreatic enzyme replacement as a feature of their underlying disease, a complication so common that pancreatic enzyme replacement with one of several commercially available products is typically covered by US and Australian health care plans.  Patients with cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer are the populations most often treated with pancreatic enzyme replacement. 

 

Timing of the onset of action of SBP- 101 has resulted in a careful dose-finding strategy with intervals between cycles of therapy. Correlation between systemic drug exposure, pharmacologic and toxic effects will facilitate dose-finding and schedule determination for an optimal treatment regimen.

 

Patients will require regular pancreatic and hepatic enzyme assays, and periodic abdominal CT follow-up.  Patients will also require careful monitoring for clinical signs of GI adverse events.

 

Given the life-threatening nature of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, the limited efficacy of current treatment options, and the long history of failures in pancreatic adenocarcinoma developmental therapeutics, it is anticipated that a successful outcome of the Phase 1a/1b dose-ranging trial will enable execution of an Accelerated Approval pathway.  A 6-month FDA review period is would be a desirable outcome, along with an Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) presentation with post-approval clinical trial commitments for confirmatory studies.

Phase 2 Pivotal Clinical Trial

 

Unlike nearly every other early-stage cancer drug, SBP-101"s specificity of anticipated effects uniquely requires that its first human trial will be a dose- response study in the target pancreatic cancer patient population. This rare opportunity results in a simplified path to determine the success or failure of SBP-101 in the treatment of this disease and may result in an expedited development pathway.

 

With successful Phase 1 results, Sun BioPharma intends to meet with the US FDA to obtain advice on potential breakthrough therapy designation and accelerated approval strategy. Sun BioPharma will actively seek potential commercial partners and the opportunity to evaluate combination therapy alternatives. 

 

With successful completion of FDA recommended clinical studies, Sun BioPharma intends to seek marketing authorization from the FDA, the EMA (European Union), Ministry of Health and Welfare (Japan) and TGA (Australia).  The submission fees may be waived when SBP-101 has been designated an orphan drug in each geographic region, as described under "Orphan Drug Status."

 

Total Development Costs

 

The development and commercialization of SBP-101 will involve a preclinical and a clinical development phase. Sun BioPharma estimates that completion of the proposed preclinical development work and Phase 1a/1b clinical trial in pancreatic cancer will require additional funding of at least $10 million in addition to what Sun BioPharma has already raised and to take up to 24 months from the completion of this transaction. Additional clinical trials will be subsequently required if the results of the Phase 1 pancreatic cancer trial are positive.  Sun BioPharma estimates the total time and cost to obtain FDA and EU approval and bring SBP-101 to market is 6 to 7 years and up to two-hundred million dollars ($200 million), although this process could be accelerated and less funds would be needed if SBP-101 qualifies for Breakthrough Status.  A breakthrough therapy designation conveys fast track program features, more intensive FDA guidance on an efficient drug development program, an organizational commitment involving senior managers, and eligibility for rolling review and priority review.

 

Orphan Drug Status

 

The Orphan Drug Act (ODA) provides special status to drugs which are intended for the safe and effective treatment, diagnosis or prevention of rare diseases that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the US, or that affect more than 200,000 persons but for which a manufacturer is not expected to recover the costs of developing and marketing such a drug.  Orphan drug designation has the advantage of reducing drug development costs by: (i) streamlining the FDA"s approval process, (ii) providing tax breaks for expenses related to the drug development, (iii) allowing the orphan drug manufacturer to receive assistance from the FDA in funding the clinical testing necessary for approval of an orphan drug, and (iv) facilitating drug development efforts. More significantly, the orphan drug manufacturer"s ability to recover its investment in developing the drug is also greatly enhanced by the FDA granting the manufacturer seven years of exclusive US marketing rights upon approval.  Designation of a drug candidate as an orphan drug therefore provides its sponsor with the opportunity to adopt a faster and less expensive pathway to commercializing its product.  Given the prevalence of pancreatic cancer, (about 40,000 in the US) Sun BioPharma has successfully obtained US Orphan Drug Status in 2014 and intends to submit an application for Orphan Drug Status in Europe, Japan and Australia. 

 

Intellectual Property Status

 

Intellectual property licensed by Sun BioPharma from the University includes Patent #5,962,533 and #6,160,022 covering composition of matter and method of use, with expirations in 2016 and 2019, respectively.

Development Project Managers

 

Project managers have been hired or contracted to coordinate all the functions identified in Sun BioPharma"s Development Plan for SBP-101.  In addition, an experienced regulatory affairs project specialist has been engaged to compile and submit all data in support of a European orphan drug status filing (see "Development Costs and Orphan Drug Status"), compile the General Investigative Plan to support all clinical activities, and coordinate all activities in connection with assembly and filing of Sun BioPharma"s IND.  More specifically, the Sun BioPharma experts responsible for overseeing critical functions of the Development Plan are as follows: 

 

Sun BioPharma"s CMC program is under the direction of Thomas Neenan, PhD, a founding member of the Board of Directors and Sun BioPharma"s Chief Scientific Officer, and an experienced pharmaceutical industry synthetic chemist.  Dr. Neenan has commissioned Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs), who have improved the process for synthesis of SBP-101, and who have produced high- quality compound, chemically identical to that synthesized by Dr. Bergeron at the University of Florida.  Dr. Neenan"s completed work includes development, confirmation and documentation of the synthetic chemistry process, analytical purity, reproducibility, stability (shelf-life), degradation products and pharmaceutical formulation and packaging.  This work has culminated in a supply of drug to support Sun BioPharma"s preclinical work and human clinical trials. 

 

Ajit Shah, PhD, is Sun BioPharma"s Vice President of Clinical Pharmacology.  Dr. Shah has extensive prior experience with numerous other compounds at both large and mid-size sponsoring companies, including Pfizer and MGI Pharma.  His completed work includes development of analytical methods to quantify levels of drug and characterization of metabolites in plasma, urine and tissues, plus distribution of the compound in living tissues, metabolic pathways and products, anticipated drug blood levels, half- life in the organism, and excretion pathways.  Dr. Shah"s work has enabled informed dose and schedule planning for human clinical trials. 

 

Anthony Kiorpes, PhD, DVM, has responsibility for Sun BioPharma"s toxicology program, a role he has assumed previously for many preclinical projects at other companies.  His studies have determined single- and multiple-dose safety profiles in rodent and non-rodent species, enabling improved safety monitoring in the design of clinical trials for SBP-101. Dr. Kiorpes" results have helped management to predict and prevent potential side effects in humans. 

 

Michael Cullen, MD, Sun BioPharma founder, CEO, Chairman and President, an experienced drug development specialist with 10 prior NDA approvals, has led Sun BioPharma"s overall Clinical and Regulatory Affairs & Project Management effort, including timeline and budget management, critical path timeline synchronization, IND/HREC/CTN package submissions, management of industry partner collaborative efforts, initial EU Regulatory Affairs planning, and collaboration on oversight of outsourced CMC efforts.  Dr. Cullen has recruited additional experienced and talented staff in the positions of statistical analyses, clinical operations, clinical research and non-clinical studies. 

 

Suzanne Gagnon, MD, Sun BioPharma"s Chief Medical Officer, an experienced CMO, having served in that capacity for several private and public companies, including BioPharm/IBAH/Omnicare, ICON, Idis, NuPathe, Luitpold and Rhone-Poulenc Rorer where she helped develop docetaxel, still an important chemotherapy agent, will join Michael Cullen, MD in leading the design of Sun BioPharma"s clinical trials, recruiting investigators, monitoring the safety of the patients and reporting the findings to the FDA, EMA and TGA, and in the medical literature.  Sun BioPharma has engaged Courante Oncology, an experienced clinical contract research organization (CRO), to manage clinical operations in the USA, and has selected a CRO for Sun BioPharma"s Australian operations.  These two CROs will provide regulatory documentation for HREC/CTN and IRB (Investigational Review Board) submissions, FDA 1571 regulation compliance, and informed consents, as well as clinical study site qualification, contracting and payment, study conduct monitoring, data collection, analysis and reporting.

 

Government Regulation

 

FDA regulations require submission of an IND (Investigational New Drug) application, which was submitted in May 2015, and is currently in review by FDA.  CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls) questions from FDA on 19 June 2015 has resulted in a minimum 60 day delay in FDA acceptance of the IND for filing, pending FDA review and acceptance of the Sun BioPharma CMC response, due for submission to FDA in late July 2015. 

 

The SBP-101 clinical program will be conducted in the US under the IND and FDA regulations, which are primarily safety focused, until late in the development program, when an NDA (New Drug Application) with satisfactory evidence of both safety and tolerability, will be submitted to FDA in the quest for marketing approval.  Similarly, an abbreviated data package, primarily consisting of the clinical study protocol and IB (Investigator"s Brochure) is in review by an Australian HREC (Human Research Ethics Committee).  This application review is also delayed pending the FDA review of the additional CMC data requested on June 19, 2015.  The Clinical Trial will commence in Australia following HREC approval, Local Governance (Hospital) approval and submission and acceptance of a CTN (Clinical Trial Notification) by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) in Australia.  It is anticipated that the Clinical Trial will commence in both the US and Australia late in 2015.

Research and Development

 

As a pre-clinical stage drug development company, without a marketed product, no costs are borne directly by customers.  Approximately $3 million US has been spent in each of the last two years on research and development.

 

Compliance with Environmental Laws

 

All of the costs of development above are directed at compliance with US FDA and Australian TGA regulations; however, environmental compliance costs have been incurred primarily in the CMC function at our CMOs both in Bangalore, India and Burlington, MA, USA. These costs are borne by the respective CMOs, and are typically not broken out, but are reflected in the overall cost of the contracts between SB the respective CMOs.

 

Employees

 

As of July 2, 2015, Sun BioPharma had 9 employees, all of whom were full-time employees including its Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board, its Chief Financial Officer, its Chief Scientific Officer, its Chief Medical Officer, its Vice President of Clinical Pharmacology, its Vice President of Operations and its Director of Pancreatitis Research. Sun BioPharma may hire additional employees to support the growth of its business. Sun BioPharma believes that operational responsibilities can be handled by its current employees and independent consultants. Sun BioPharma is using and will continue to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services. Sun BioPharma believes that this use of third-party service providers enhances its ability to minimize general and administrative expenses.

Overview

 

Sun BioPharma is a pre-clinical stage drug development company advancing the commercial development of a proprietary polyamine analogue for pancreatic cancer and for a second indication in chronic pancreatitis. Sun BioPharma has exclusively licensed the worldwide rights to this compound, which has been designated as SBP-101, from the University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. ("UFRF"). Sun BioPharma intends to generate income from pharmaceutical products it develops either alone or with one or more strategic partners.  In the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, Sun BioPharma had no revenues and net losses of $3,531,000 and $4,087,000, respectively.

 

In the three month period ended March 31, 2015, Sun BioPharma had no revenues and a net loss of $2,191,000, compared to no revenues and a net loss of $581,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2014.

 

Sources of Expenses

 

General and administrative expense

 

Sun BioPharma"s general and administrative expense consists primarily of management staffing, legal and accounting fees, debt discount, insurance premiums, office support costs and share-based compensation.

 

Research and product development expense

 

Sun BioPharma"s research and product development expense consists of costs associated with pre- clinical testing, drug manufacturing and share-based compensation.

 

Other income (expense)

 

Sun BioPharma"s other income (expense) primarily reflects interest expense and change in fair value of derivatives.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures in the financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that may be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, and that have a material impact on financial condition or operating performance. While Sun BioPharma bases its estimates and judgments on its experience and on various other factors that Sun BioPharma believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Sun BioPharma believes the following critical accounting policies used in the preparation of its financial statements require significant judgments and estimates. For additional information relating to these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to Sun BioPharma"s audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and Note 2 to Sun BioPharma"s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, each appearing elsewhere in this filing.

 

Fair Value Estimates of Common Stock

 

Sun BioPharma utilizes estimates and assumptions in determining the fair value of its common stock. Sun BioPharma granted stock options at exercise prices not less than the fair market value of its common stock as determined by its Board, with input from management. Sun BioPharma has obtained independent appraisals of the estimated fair value of its common stock based on a number of objective and subjective factors, including external market conditions affecting the medical device industry and the historical prices at which Sun BioPharma sold shares of its common stock.

 

 
33

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

Sun BioPharma recognizes compensation expense in an amount equal to the estimated grant date fair value of each option grant, or stock award over the estimated period of service and vesting. This estimation of the fair value of each stock-based grant or issuance on the date of grant involves numerous assumptions by management. Although Sun BioPharma calculates the fair value under the Black Scholes option pricing model, which is a standard option pricing model, this model still requires the use of numerous assumptions, including, among others, the expected life (turnover), volatility of the underlying equity security, a risk free interest rate and expected dividends. The model and assumptions also attempt to account for changing employee behavior as the stock price changes and capture the observed pattern of increasing rates of exercise as the stock price increases. The use of different values by management in connection with these assumptions in the Black Scholes option pricing model could produce substantially different results.

 

Accounting for Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes result primarily from temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. Future tax benefits are subject to a valuation allowance when management is unable to conclude that Sun BioPharma"s deferred tax assets will more-likely-than-not be realized from the results of operations. Sun BioPharma"s estimate for the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets requires management to make significant estimates and judgments about projected future operating results. A valuation allowance has been established against all net deferred tax assets. If actual results differ from these projections or if management"s expectations of future results change, it may be necessary to adjust the valuation allowance.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

Operating expenses

 

Sun BioPharma had total operating expenses of $3,445,000 in 2014, an increase of $208,000, or 6%, compared to $3,237,000 in 2013. The primary reason for the increase was higher research and development costs, offset by lower general and administrative expenses. The changes in the various components of Sun BioPharma"s operating expenses are described below.

 

General and administrative expense

 

Sun BioPharma had general and administrative expense of $1,079,000 in 2014, a decrease of $570,000, or 35%, compared to $1,649,000 in 2013. The primary reasons for the decrease were caused by decreases in option compensation ($764,000), offset by increases in personnel costs ($116,000) and legal and accounting fees ($65,000).

 

Research and product development expense

 

Sun BioPharma had research and product development expense of $2,366,000 in 2014, an increase of $778,000, or 49%, compared to $1,588,000 in 2013.

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Operating expenses

 

Sun BioPharma had total operating expenses of $2,190,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $1,614,000, or 280%, compared to $576,000 for the same period in 2014. The primary reason for the increase was higher general and administrative costs and higher research and development costs. The changes in the various components of Sun BioPharma"s operating expenses are described below.

 

General and administrative expense

 

Sun BioPharma had general and administrative expense of $1,203,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $948,000, or 372%, compared to $255,000 for the same period in 2014. The primary reasons for the increase were caused by increases in personnel costs ($150,000), legal and accounting fees ($114,000) and stock option compensation ($700,000).

 

Research and product development expense

 

Sun BioPharma had research and product development expense of $987,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $666,000, or 207%, compared to $321,000 for the same period in 2014. The primary reasons for the increase were caused by increases in outside services ($397,000) and stock option compensation ($180,000).

 

Other income (expense)

 

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense on convertible promissory notes and loss on foreign currency exchange.  Interest expense was $40,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, whereas interest expense for the same period in 2014 was $33,000, an increase of $7,000, or 21%.  The loss on foreign currency exchange was $20,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, whereas the loss on foreign exchange for the same period in 2014 was $3,000, an increase of $13,000, or 433%. 

 

Net loss

 

For the foregoing reasons, Sun BioPharma had a net loss of $2,191,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, as compared to a net loss of $581,000 for the same period in 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sun BioPharma had cash and cash equivalents of $1,653,000 at December 31, 2014 compared to $2,693,000 at December 31, 2013, and total current liabilities of $467,000 at December 31, 2014 compared to $559,000 at December 31, 2013.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, Sun BioPharma had working capital of $1,906,000 and $2,303,000, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2015 Sun BioPharma had cash and cash equivalents of $1,171,000, total current liabilities of $817,000, and working capital of $1,036,000.

 

Sun BioPharma"s principal source of cash has been the issuance of convertible promissory notes and capital stock. Sun BioPharma expects its operating expenses will continue to grow and, as a result, Sun BioPharma will need to generate significant additional funding. Sun BioPharma believes that cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its operations through September 2015. Although Sun BioPharma does not have any current capital commitments, it expects that it will increase its projected expenditures once it has additional capital on hand in order to continue its efforts to grow its business and complete Phase 1 clinical trials for its SBP-101 drug candidate. Accordingly, Sun BioPharma expects to make additional expenditures in product development to continue enhancing its current products. Sun BioPharma also expects to invest in research and development efforts of follow-on products. However, Sun BioPharma does not have any definitive plans as to the exact amounts or particular uses at this time, and the exact amounts and timing of any expenditure may vary significantly from its current intentions.

Going Concern

 

Sun BioPharma has incurred recurring losses since inception and expects to continue to incur costs and expenses related to product development and sales and marketing of its products. As of December 31, 2014, Sun BioPharma had cash of $1,653,000, working capital of $1,906,000 and stockholders" deficit of $1,316,000. As of March 31, 2015, Sun BioPharma had cash of $1,171,000, working capital of $1,036,000 and stockholders" deficit of $2,196,000. Sun BioPharma"s principal source of cash has been the issuance of convertible notes and capital stock. Sun BioPharma anticipate that its operating expenses will continue to grow and, as a result, it will need to generate significant additional funding to finance company operations.

 

Sun BioPharma expects to continue its business into the foreseeable future as long as additional debt or equity financing is raised and revenues are achieved as anticipated. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms commercially acceptable to Sun BioPharma or on any terms. Sun BioPharma does not anticipate generating revenues for the foreseeable future.  Failure to manage discretionary expenditures, raise additional financing and increase revenues may adversely impact Sun BioPharma"s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. As a result, Sun BioPharma may be forced to reduce or curtail its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about Sun BioPharma"s ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this filing do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Sun BioPharma is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Cash Flows

 

Operating activities

Report of Independent Auditor
To the Board of Directors of
Sun BioPharma, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sun BioPharma, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders" (deficit) equity and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company"s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company"s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2014 and 2013 the Company incurred net losses of approximately $3.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively, and has incurred cumulative net losses since inception of approximately $8.6 million. Furthermore, the Company expects to continue to incur substantial net losses through the foreseeable future. These factors, among others as discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company"s ability to continue as a going concern. Management"s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
Note 1"Organization and description of business and liquidity
 
Sun BioPharma, Inc. and its wholly- owned subsidiary, Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd (collectively, "Sun BioPharma" or "the Company") were organized to engage in advancing the commercial development of a proprietary polyamine analogue for pancreatic cancer and for a second indication in chronic pancreatitis. The Company has exclusively licensed the worldwide rights to this compound, which has been designated as SBP-101, from the University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. ("UFRF"). Sun BioPharma"s goal is to build a profitable company by generating income from pharmaceutical products the Company develops and commercializes, either alone or with one or more strategic partners. Sun BioPharma, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 21, 2011, and its principal office is located in Sanibel, Florida. Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd was established on May 24, 2013, and incorporated under the laws of Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
 
The Company operates in a highly regulated and competitive environment. The manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products require approval from, and are subject to ongoing oversight by, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in the United States, the Therapeutic Goods Administration ("TGA") in Australia, the European Medicines Agency ("EMA") in the European Union, and comparable agencies in other countries. Obtaining approval for a new pharmaceutical product is never certain, may take many years, and is normally expected to involve substantial expenditures.
 
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $3.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively, and cumulative net losses since inception of approximately $8.6 million. The Company expects losses to continue through the foreseeable future as the Company continues to commercialize its SBP-101 compound and pursue research and development activities. Net cash used in operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $3.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities principally from the sale of equity securities and the issuance of convertible notes to both third party and related party investors (convertible note sales of approximately $2.4 million and $3.0 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively).
 
If necessary, certain planned expenditures, including expenditures related to research and development projects, could be deferred or forgone if the Company believes it is necessary to do so in order to fund operations. In addition, if necessary, the Company could implement restrictions on non-essential travel, put in place a salary deferral program for certain employees, reduce utilization of outside professional service providers and implement a reduction in the Company's workforce. Notwithstanding these potential cost control measures, the Company"s available cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy its long-term operating requirements. Accordingly, the Company will need to seek additional sources of funds, from the sale of equity or debt securities or through a credit facility, or the Company will need to modify its current business plan. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities would likely result in dilution to the Company"s current stockholders.

Investments - Investments consist of a mutual fund and are reported at fair value at each reporting period. Investments are considered trading securities by the Company (see Note 4). As such, unrealized gains and losses included in earnings and recorded as interest income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
 
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, property and equipment is comprised of computer software and is being depreciated over a period of four years.
 
Income Taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates, for each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance unless, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.
 
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company"s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
 
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and Australia. Tax returns, since the inception of Sun BioPharma, Inc. in 2011 and thereafter, are subject to examinations by federal and state tax authorities and may change upon examination. Tax returns of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2013 and thereafter are subject to examination by the Australian tax authorities. Since its inception, the Company has not incurred any federal or state income taxes principally due to operating losses.
 
The Company"s policy with respect to any undistributed foreign earnings of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd. is to consider those earnings to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no related provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been provided. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes in Australia. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no undistributed earnings as Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd. has reported a loss since inception.
 
Debt Issuance Costs- Costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the debt agreements. Included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, are deferred debt issuance costs of $141,119 and $132,234, respectively, less accumulated amortization of $37,055 and $9,079, respectively. Amortization expense was $28,077 and $45,933 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Research and Development Costs- Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. These expenses consist primarily of (i) fees paid to third-party service providers to perform, monitor and accumulate data related to the Company"s preclinical studies and clinical trials; (ii) costs related to sponsored research agreements; (iii) costs to develop a scaled-up process and subsequently manufacture sufficient drug product for use in our studies and trials; (iv) fees paid to consultants for specialized expertise related to execution of the Company"s Development Plan for its licensed drug compound; and (v) fees related to licensing the Company"s technology and concurrent maintenance of licensed patents and patent applications. The Company expenses costs associated with obtaining licenses for patented technologies when it is determined there is no alternative future use of the intellectual property subject to the license (purchased in-process research and development).
 
Share-Based Compensation- The Company accounts for compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive shares of stock or other equity instruments (including options and warrants) based on fair value. The fair value of each award is estimated as of the grant  date, and measurement date, if applicable, and amortized as compensation expense over the requisite service period. The fair values of the Company"s share-based awards (options and warrants) are estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company"s common stock on the grant date, the expected stock price volatility, estimated award term and risk-free interest rates for the expected term. When estimating the expected term, the Company utilizes the "simplified" method for "plain vanilla" options. The Company bases its estimate of expected stock price volatility on the average of historical volatilities of publicly traded companies it deems similar to the Company because the Company lacks its own relevant historical volatility data. The Company utilizes risk-free interest rates based on zero-coupon U.S. treasury instruments, the terms of which are consistent with the expected term of the stock awards. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its shares of common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.
 
Fair Value Determination of the Company"s Common Stock - Determining the fair value of shares of privately held companies in connection with determining the values of share based payments requires making complex and subjective judgments. The Company determined the only viable methodologies to value the Company"s common stock are the implied valuations based on the terms of the license agreement (see Note 5) and bridge and convertible debt financing (see Note 7) to estimate the Company"s enterprise values for the dates on which these transactions occurred. The assumptions take into account certain discounts related to control and lack of marketability. The discounts for lack of marketability were 30%, and the discounts for lack of control or minority interest ranged from 10% to 20%. If different discount rates had been used, the valuations would have been different. There is inherent uncertainty in these estimates.
 
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments - The functional currency of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd is the Australian Dollar ("AUD"). Accordingly, assets and liabilities, and equity transactions of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd are translated into U.S. dollars at period- end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect for the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders" equity. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized a loss on translation adjustment in the amount of $12,847 and $4,576, respectively. During 2014, any reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income to operations were inconsequential.

Note 2"Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
 
Net Loss per Share- Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without giving consideration to common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share does not include the weighted average number of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share. The following table sets forth potential shares of common stock that are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because of the anti- dilutive result as of December 31:

Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Subsequent Events - The Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements through April 16, 2015, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
 
Note 3"Concentrations risks and other risks and uncertainties
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company holds its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, up to $250,000, and a financial institution in Australia guaranteed under the Australian Government Guarantee Scheme for Large Deposits and Wholesale Funding, up to $250,000 AUD. At December 31, 2014, $835,922 on deposit with U.S. financial institutions was in excess of insured limits. At December 31, 2014, $136,656 on deposit with the Australian financial institution was in excess of guaranteed limits.
 
The Company is subject to risks common to emerging companies in the cancer pharmaceuticals industry including, but not limited to: new technological innovations; dependence on key personnel; dependence on key suppliers; changes in general economic conditions and interest rates; protection of proprietary technology; compliance with changing government regulations; and uncertainty of widespread market acceptance of future products.

Note 4"Fair value measurements
 
Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis are determined based upon a framework prescribed by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
 
The standard describes three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date;
 
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value can be determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies; and
 
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability and the reporting entity makes estimates and assumptions related to the pricing of the asset or liability including assumptions regarding risk.
 
A financial instrument"s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There were no changes in the valuation methodologies used at December 31, 2014 from those used in prior periods.
 
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured as fair value:
 
Mutual Funds " Valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value (NAV) of shares held at year-end (Level 1 input in the fair value hierarchy discussed above).

Note 5"License agreement
 
On December 22, 2011, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with UFRF (see Note 1), which was acquired in exchange for $15,000 in cash and the issuance of 10% of its common stock. As of the date of the transaction, 200,000 shares of common stock were issued with a fair value of $20,000 based upon an estimated fair value of common stock of $0.10 per share. Additional shares of capital securities were required to be issued to UFRF whenever the Company issues additional common stock such that UFRF maintains its 10% ownership interest in the Company"s common stock ("anti-dillution feature"). This anti-dillution feature terminates when $2,000,000 of additional external investment in the Company, as defined, is secured. The Company secured additional external investment of $2,000,000 during 2012. UFRF holds 262,817 shares of Sun BioPharma"s common stock. The license requires the Company to pay royalties to UFRF ranging from 2.5% to 5% of net sales of licensed products developed from the licensed technology. Minimum annual royalties are required after the initial occurrence of a commercial sale of a marketed product. The minimum annual royalties are as follows:
 

·

$50,000 is due 270 days after occurrence of first commercial sale;

   

·

$100,000 is due on the first anniversary date of the first payment;

   

·

$100,000 is due on the second anniversary date of the first payment; and

   

·

$300,000 is due on the third anniversary date of the first payment and subsequent anniversary dates thereafter, continuing for the life of the license agreement.

 

The Company is subject to six different milestone payments under the license agreement.
 

·

$50,000 is due upon enrollment of the first subject in a Phase I trial;

 

 

·

$300,000 is due upon enrollment of the first subject in a Phase II clinical trial;

   

·

$3,000,000 is due upon approval of a New Drug Application;

   

·

$2,000,000 is due upon approval to manufacture and market in either the European Union or Japan (one time only);

   

·

$1,000,000 is due upon the first time annual net sales of licensed product or licensed process by the Company reaches $100,000,000; and

   

·

$3,000,000 is due upon the first time annual net sales of licensed product or licensed process by the Company reaches $500,000,000.

 

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, no royalty or milestone payments were due. The Company is also committed to pay an annual license maintenance fee of $10,000.

Note 6"Long-term debt
 
On October 26, 2012, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with the Institute for Commercialization of Public Research, Inc. (the "Institute"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company borrowed $300,000 at a fixed interest rate of 4.125%. No principal or interest payments are due until the maturity date, October 26, 2017, unless a mandatory repayment event occurs. A mandatory repayment event includes, (i) a liquidity event defined as a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction as a result of which the persons holding the Company equity constituting a majority of the outstanding equity by voting power or economic participation immediately prior to the transaction hold less than a majority of such voting power or economic participation immediately after such transaction; or a sale or transfer of outstanding equity of the Company in a transaction as a result of which the persons holding the Company equity constituting a majority of the outstanding equity by voting power or economic participation immediately prior to the transaction hold less than a majority of such voting power or economic participation immediately after such transaction, (ii) an event of default, (iii) a failure to maintain a Florida base of operations for more than 6 months, (iv) a sale or transfer of licensed technology, (v) any false representation to the Institute, (vi) a violation of law by the Company or a principal officer, or (vii) an achievement of aggregate revenues during any fiscal year of more than $4,000,000 from sales of products and/or services.
 
Note 7"Convertible notes payable
 
In May and June 2013, the Company issued a total of $2,325,000 of convertible promissory notes ("Bridge Notes") to ten individual investors. The maturity date for the Bridge Notes was December 15, 2013. Nine of the ten investors were already shareholders in the Company, and three of them were members of the Company"s Board of Directors. The Bridge Notes accrued interest at 6% per annum, and the principal and accrued interest on each Note were convertible, at the holder"s option, into shares of the Company"s common stock at a 30% discount to the price per share of shares sold in either a "Qualified" or "Other" financing ("conversion feature"). A Qualified financing was defined as the sale of stock of $4,000,000 or greater and Other financing was defined as the sale of equity securities that does not constitute a Qualified financing. Each investor was also issued warrants in connection with the Bridge Notes. Each warrant provided the holder with warrant coverage, obtained by multiplying 25% by the original principal amount of the Bridge Notes, at the same discounted price as for the Bridge Notes conversion. If a repayment or subsequent financing was not completed by the maturity date, the warrant coverage on the Bridge Notes increased an additional 25% of the total principal amount of the then outstanding Bridge Notes for every three months (or portion thereof) that such Bridge Notes remained outstanding. The proceeds from the Bridge Notes were allocated to the notes payable and the warrants based on their relative fair values as follows: Bridge Notes ($2,140,742) and warrants ($184,258) (see Note 11). The resulting debt discount was amortized through interest expense over the term of the Bridge Notes. The Bridge Notes" conversion feature was determined by management to be non-substantive at the issuance date in accordance with authoritative guidance, as the Bridge Notes" conversion was not reasonably possible of being exercised and the Company had sufficient cash at issuance to maintain operations through the Bridge Notes" maturity date. Therefore, the conversion feature was not valued or accounted for as a debt discount at issuance of the Bridge Notes.
 
In October 2013, three holders of the Bridge Notes and a current shareholder offered to lend a minimum of $3,000,000 to the Company through the issuance of new 5% promissory notes (the "New Notes"), convertible into shares of common stock at $4.50 per share. This financing was targeted to close after December 15, 2013. Sale of the New Notes was contingent upon (i) conversion of the existing Bridge Notes (discussed in the previous paragraph) to common stock at $1.00 per share, (ii) establishment of fixed 50% warrant coverage by former holders of the Bridge Notes, with those warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share, and (iii) issuance of employment agreements to the four individuals leading the new financing round, providing compensation in the form of option grants (see Note 10).

Note 7"Convertible notes payable (continued)
 
A $700,000 initial deposit from the New Notes sale was received on December 27, 2013. The New Notes sales were completed in January 2014 with the receipt of additional proceeds of $2,400,000. While the conversion of Bridge Notes was contingent upon closing of a minimum of $3,000,000 of New Notes (which condition was satisfied in January 2014) management, having received verbal commitments from the entire New Notes sales subscription on December 27, 2013, concluded that the New Notes financing condition was probable of being achieved on that date and, accordingly, recorded the Bridge Notes conversion to common stock on that date, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Conversion of the Bridge Notes and related accrued interest resulted in the issuance of 2,409,779 new shares of common stock in the Company, and warrants were issued to the former owners of the Bridge Notes to purchase a total of 1,162,500 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share. These stock purchase warrants expire on December 27, 2023. Interest accrues at a rate of 5% to holders of the New Notes and is payable on a quarterly basis. The maturity date for the New Notes is December 27, 2018.
 
In May 2014, a holder of the New Notes converted a $100,000 note plus accrued interest of $1,274 into shares of common stock (see Note 9). In addition, in December 2014, a warrant holder exercised 25,000 warrants (see Note 11).
 
The Company incurred legal fees of $38,631 in connection with the Bridge Notes which were capitalized and amortized through interest expense through the maturity date. In connection with the New Notes, the Company incurred legal fees of $104,611 which were capitalized. Accumulated amortization of legal fees totaled $20,932 at December 31, 2014. There was no accumulated amortization of legal fees at December 31, 2013. The Company also incurred interest charges totaling $143,712 and $411 on the New Notes in 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, accrued interest on the New Notes totaled $37,808 and $411, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
Note 8"Income taxes
 
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no income tax expense, but did have income tax benefit related to its Australian subsidiary. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had an income tax receivable of $108,459 and $94,965, respectively, comprised of refundable tax credits related to research and development activities of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd. The 2013 refund was received from the Australian Taxation Office in July 2014.
 
Due to uncertainties surrounding the realization of its deferred income tax assets in future periods, the Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against its net deferred income tax assets. If it is determined in the future that it is more likely than not that any deferred income tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced by the estimated net realizable amounts.

The Company also has available at December 31, 2014 and 2013, unused research and development tax credits of approximately $152,000 and $98,000, respectively, that may also provide future tax benefits and which expire beginning in 2041.
 
In general, if the Company experiences a greater than 50% aggregate change in ownership of certain significant stockholders over a three-year period (a Section 382 ownership change), utilization of its pre- change net operating loss carryforwards is subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (and similar state laws). The annual limitation generally is determined by multiplying the value of the Company"s stock at the time of such ownership change (subject to certain adjustments) by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate. Such limitations may result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization and may be substantial. The ability of the Company to use its net operating loss carryforwards may be limited or lost if the Company experienced one or more Section 382 ownership changes in connection with past sales of its stock or as a result of future changes in its stock ownership. Losses from a specific period may be subject to multiple limitations, and would generally be limited by the lowest of those limitations.
 
The Company has determined that a Section 382 ownership change occurred in 2013, and as such, losses incurred prior to that date are subject to an annual limitation of $159,000. The Company has determined no Section 382 ownership change occurred in 2014.

In 2011, the Company adopted the Sun BioPharma, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the "2011 Plan") to enable the granting of qualified incentive stock options ("ISO"s") and nonqualified stock options ("NQSO"s") to employees, consultants, and non-employee directors of the Company. The exercise price for any option granted may not be less than the fair value of the Company"s common stock (or, in the case of ISO"s granted to certain employees, not less than 110% of fair value). Options granted under the 2011 Plan have a maximum ten-year term and generally vest over two years. At December 31, 2014, the Company has reserved 2,000,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2011 Plan.

Note 10"Share-based compensation plan (continued)
 
As of December 31, 2014, there was $121 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non- vested stock options, which will be recognized in 2015. Compensation costs charged to operations for all stock based compensation were $105,231 and $850,641 in 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which $74,094 and $838,340 were charged to general and administrative and $31,137 and $12,301 was charged to research and development, respectively. There was no income tax benefit realized from share-based payment arrangements with employees in 2014 and 2013.
 
During 2014 and 2013, the Company granted 195,000 and 1,586,938 stock options, respectively, that contain certain accelerated vesting rights, which allows the option holder to exercise all stock options immediately. Any shares of common stock issued to employees that exercise this option through non-vested stock options are subject to repurchase by the Company should the employee terminate employment with the Company. The Company may exercise this repurchase right up to 90 days following the termination of the employee at a repurchase price equal to the exercise price of the stock option. During 2014, 535,900 stock options were exercised and no outstanding shares of common stock are subject to this repurchase provision. No stock options were exercised during 2013.
 
Note 11"Warrants
 
In May and June 2013, the Company issued warrants to the Bridge Note holders (see Note 7) to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company at an exercise price conditional on subsequent financing or $0.44 in the event no financing events occurred. The initial warrant coverage amount was 25% of the original principal amount of the Bridge Notes. The warrants have a ten year life. The uncertainty related to the exercise price and shares to be issued under the warrant coverage provision required derivative liability accounting treatment for the warrants, as shown in the table below. The fair value of these warrants on that date was estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The change in fair value of these warrants is recognized as other income or expense in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
 
On December 27, 2013, the Agreement provided for conversion of the outstanding principal and interest of the Bridge Notes (see Note 7) and set the warrant exercise price at $1.00 and warrant coverage amount equal to 50% of the original principal amount of the Bridge Notes. This Agreement resulted in 1,162,500 warrants, of which 1,137,500 remain outstanding at December 31, 2014 and all were outstanding at December 31, 2013. Since the warrant terms were no longer uncertain as of December 27, 2013, the fair value of the warrants was estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and the warrant liability was reclassified to equity. The weighted average exercise price of the warrants issued and outstanding at December 31, 2014 and 2013, is $1.00.

SUN BIOPHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (UNAUDITED)
 
(1)       Organization and Description of Business and Liquidity:
 
Sun BioPharma, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd. (collectively, "Sun BioPharma") were organized to engage in advancing the commercial development of a proprietary polyamine analogue for pancreatic cancer and for a second indication in chronic pancreatitis. Sun BioPharma has exclusively licensed the worldwide rights to this compound, which has been designated as SBP-101, from the University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. ("UFRF"). Sun BioPharma intends to generate income from pharmaceutical products it develops either alone or with one or more strategic partners.  Sun BioPharma, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 2011. Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd was established and incorporated under the laws of Australian Securities & Investments Commission in May 2013.
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements ("condensed financial statements") have been prepared on a basis consistent with Sun BioPharma"s December 31, 2014 audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth herein. The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules for interim financial information of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and, therefore, omit certain information and footnote disclosure necessary to present the statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The accompanying condensed December 31, 2014 balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP in the U.S. for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year or any future periods.
Liquidity and Management Plans
Sun BioPharma operates in a highly regulated and competitive environment. The manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products require approval from, and are subject to ongoing oversight by, the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in the United States, the Therapeutic Goods Administration ("TGA") in Australia, the European Medicines Agency ("EMA") in the European Union, and comparable agencies in other countries. Obtaining approval for a new pharmaceutical product is never certain, may take many years, and is normally expected to involve substantial expenditures.
Sun BioPharma has incurred losses of $10,760,068 since inception and expects to continue to incur costs and expenses related to product development and obtaining regulatory approvals.  As of March 31, 2015, Sun BioPharma has net working capital of $1,036,322, cash of $1,170,660 and stockholders" deficit of $2,195,843.  Sun BioPharma"s principal sources of cash have included issuance of convertible debt and equity securities. Sun BioPharma expects losses to continue through the foreseeable future as it continues to pursue research and development activities and commercialize its SBP-101 compound.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)  

(1)         Organization and Description of Business and Liquidity (continued):
 
If necessary, certain planned expenditures, including expenditures related to research and development projects, could be deferred or forgone if Sun BioPharma believes it is necessary to do so in order to fund operations.  In addition, if necessary, Sun BioPharma could implement restrictions on non- essential travel, put in place a salary deferral program for certain employees, reduce utilization of outside professional service providers and implement a reduction of its workforce. Accordingly, Sun BioPharma will seek additional sources of funds, including the sale of debt or equity securities, or it will modify its current business plan. There can be no assurances that Sun BioPharma will be able to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The sale of additional convertible debt or equity securities would likely result in dilution to Sun BioPharma"s current stockholders.
 
(2)         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Principles of consolidation"The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and expenses of Sun BioPharma, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of estimates"The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
Fair Value Determination of Sun BioPharma"s Common Stock"Determining the fair value of shares of privately held companies with regards to estimating the values of share based payments requires making complex and subjective judgments.  Sun BioPharma concluded the only viable methodologies to value its common stock are the implied valuations based on the terms of the bridge and convertible debt financing to estimate its enterprise values for the dates on which these transactions occurred.  The assumptions take into account certain discounts related to control and lack of marketability.  There is inherent uncertainty in these estimates.
 
The board of directors determines the estimated fair value of Sun BioPharma"s common stock based on a number of objective and subjective factors, including external market conditions affecting the health sciences industry sector and prices at which Sun BioPharma issued convertible debt and sold shares of its common stock.  The board of directors also retained an independent financial valuation firm to substantiate the valuations they estimated.  That firm employed and implied valuation methodology based on the terms of the recent convertible note financings.
 
Debt issuance costs"Costs associated with the issuance of debt instruments are capitalized. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the debt agreements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) 

(2)         Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
Investments"Investments consist of a mutual fund and are reported at fair value at each reporting period. Investments are considered trading securities by Sun BioPharma. As such, unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings and recorded as interest income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
 
Research and development costs"Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. These expenses consist primarily of (i) fees paid to third-party service providers to perform, monitor and accumulate data related to Sun BioPharma"s preclinical studies and clinical trials; (ii) costs related to sponsored research agreements; (iii) costs to develop a scaled-up process and subsequently manufacture sufficient drug product for use in our studies and trials; (iv) fees paid to consultants for specialized expertise related to execution of Sun BioPharma"s Development Plan for its licensed drug compound; and (v) fees related to licensing Sun BioPharma"s technology and concurrent maintenance of licensed patents and patent applications. Sun BioPharma expenses costs associated with obtaining licenses for patented technologies when it is determined there is no alternative future use of the intellectual property subject to the license (purchased in- process research and development).
 
Share-based compensation" Sun BioPharma accounts for compensation for all arrangements under which employees and others receive equity awards through options and warrants based on fair value. The fair values of Sun BioPharma"s share-based awards are estimated on the grant dates using the Black-Scholes valuation model and amortized as compensation expense over the requisite service period. This valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of Sun BioPharma"s common stock on the grant date, the expected stock price volatility, estimated award term and risk-free interest rates for the expected term. When estimating the expected term, Sun BioPharma utilizes the "simplified" method for "plain vanilla" options. Sun BioPharma bases its estimate of expected stock price volatility on the average of historical volatilities of publicly traded companies it deems similar to Sun BioPharma because it lacks its own relevant historical volatility data. Sun BioPharma utilizes risk-free interest rates based on zero-coupon U.S. treasury instruments, the terms of which are consistent with the expected term of the stock awards. Sun BioPharma has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its shares of common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.
 
Foreign currency translation adjustments"The functional currency of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd is the Australian Dollar ("AUD"). Accordingly, assets and liabilities, and equity transactions of Sun BioPharma Australia Pty Ltd are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates.  Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect for the period. The resulting translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of changes of stockholders" equity. For the three month period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, Sun BioPharma recognized a loss on translation adjustment of $4,376 and a gain on translation adjustment of $7,888, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, any reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income to operations was inconsequential.

(2)        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
Net loss per share"Outstanding options, warrants and shares subject to convertible note agreements totaling 4,180,399 at March 31, 2015 and 3,664,704 at March 31, 2014 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have had an anti-dilutive effect. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share.

ARTICLE 9

DIRECTOR LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

 

9.1

Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. The personal liability of the directors of the Corporation shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

 

 

9.2

Indemnification.

 

 

(a)

Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, to the fullest extent permitted by law, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys" fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph (b) below, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of the board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

 

 
A-3

 

 

(b)

Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph (a) above is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

 

 
 

(c)

Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation (as it may be amended from time to time), bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

9.3

Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DCGL.

 

 

9.4

Amendment or Repeal. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Article, adoption of any provision in this Certificate of Incorporation, or change in the law or interpretation of the law shall adversely affect any right or protection of any person under this Article with respect to any act or omission that occurred prior to the time of such amendment, modification, repeal, adoption or change.

Except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called only by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.

ARTICLE 11
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

11.1

Exclusive Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any or all intracorporate claims, which shall include claims, including claims in the right of the Corporation, (i) that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director or officer or stockholder in such capacity, or (ii) as to which Title 8 of the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Delaware Court of Chancery, shall be a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located in the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware).

Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys" fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 10.4 of this Article X, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors.

 

 
B-10

 

Section 10.2 ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article X shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, such advances to be paid by the Corporation after receipt by the Corporation of a written statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances; provided, however, that if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article X or otherwise.

 

Section 10.3 OBTAINING INDEMNIFICATION. To obtain indemnification under this Article X, a claimant shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by a claimant for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 10.3, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the claimant"s entitlement thereto shall be made as follows: (1) if requested by the claimant, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (2) if no request is made by the claimant for a determination by Independent Counsel, (i) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) if a quorum of the board of directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the claimant, or (iii) if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel at the request of the claimant, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the board of directors unless there shall have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of the action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a Change in Control (as defined below), in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the claimant unless the claimant shall request that such selection be made by the board of directors. If it is so determined that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within 30 days after such determination. If a claimant is successful, in whole or in part, in any suit brought against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of any written claim to indemnification, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.

 

Section 10.4 RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT. If a claim under Section 10.1 of this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim pursuant to Section 10.3 of this Article X has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 10.7 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article X shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

(2)

The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

 

 

(a)

(b)

against either the corporation or one or more dissenters, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this part.

Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Article 9.

 

BACKGROUND

 

 

A.

The respective Boards of Directors of the parties have (i) determined that it is in the best interests of such corporations and their respective security holders to consummate a merger of Merger Subsidiary with and into Company (the "Merger") and (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

C.

The parties to this Agreement intend to adopt this Agreement as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and intend that the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be undertaken pursuant to that plan. Accordingly, the parties intend that the Merger qualify as a "reorganization," within the meaning of Code Section 368(a), and that, with respect to the Merger and within the meaning of Code Section 368(b), each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and Company will be a "party to a reorganization;"

 

 

 
 

D.

Company, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter referred to as the "Surviving Company."

1.1 Effects of Merger.

 

(a) From and after the Merger Time, (i) Company"s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to the Merger Time shall be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit A hereto, and, as so amended and restated shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company and (ii) Company"s bylaws as in effect immediately prior to the Merger Time shall be amended and restated in their entirety as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, and, as so amended and restated shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company.

 

(b) From and after the Merger Time and until further altered or amended in accordance with applicable law: (i) all of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and authority"both public and private"of Company and Merger Subsidiary shall vest in the Surviving Company; (ii) all of the assets and property of Company and Merger Subsidiary of every kind, nature and description"real, personal and mixed, and both tangible and intangible"and every interest therein, wheresoever located, including without limitation all debts or other obligations belonging or due to Company or Merger Subsidiary, all claims and all causes of action, shall be vested absolutely and unconditionally in the Surviving Company; and (iii) all debts and obligations of Company and Merger Subsidiary, all rights of creditors of Company or Merger Subsidiary and all liens or security interests encumbering any of the property of Company or Merger Subsidiary shall be vested in the Surviving Company and shall remain in full force and effect without modification or impairment and shall be enforceable against the Surviving Company and its assets and properties with the same full force and effect as if such debts, obligations, liens or security interests had been originally incurred or created by the Surviving Company in its own name and for its own behalf. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Surviving Company specifically assumes all continuing obligations which Company or Merger Subsidiary would otherwise have to indemnify its officers and directors, to the fullest extent currently provided in the Surviving Company"s certificate of incorporation, bylaws and pursuant to the DGCL, with respect to any and all claims arising out of actions taken or omitted by Company"s officers and directors prior to the Merger Time.

 

(c) Each of Parent, Company and Merger Subsidiary shall use its best efforts to take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the Merger in accordance with the DGCL at the Merger Time. If, at any time after the Merger Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all properties, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of either Company or Merger Subsidiary, the officers of Parent, and the officers of Surviving Company on behalf of Company and Merger Subsidiary, shall take all such lawful and necessary action.

 

(d) Subject to the provisions of Article 6 and Article 7, the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Closing," and the date of the Closing will be referred to interchangeably as the "Closing Date," as the case may be) shall take place at such location, on such date and at such time as Company and Parent mutually agree at the earliest practicable time after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in Article 6, but in no event later than five business days after all such conditions have been satisfied or waived, or on such other date as may be mutually agreed by the parties hereto. On the Closing date, to effect the Merger, the parties will cause the Certificate of Merger to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the DGCL. The Merger shall be effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger (the "Merger Time").

1.2 Effect on Company Capital Stock and Merger Subsidiary Capital Stock. To effectuate the Merger, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Merger Time:

 

(a) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Time (other than Dissenting Shares as defined in Section 1.5 below) will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive four (4) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock. Parent will issue to each holder of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) certificates or Book Entries evidencing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined in accordance with the foregoing.

 

(b) At the Merger Time, Parent will assume and continue all of Sun BioPharma"s equity incentive plans, including the Sun BioPharma, Inc. 2011 Stock Option Plan (the "2011 Plan") and the Sun BioPharma, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. Options to purchase an aggregate of 2,059,304 shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding under the 2011 Plan immediately prior to the Merger Time (collectively, the "Options") will become options to purchase an aggregate of 8,237,216 shares of Company Common Stock, representing four (4) shares of Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Common Stock represented by the Options immediately prior to the Merger Time, exercisable at 25% of the price per share as each original Option, as previously adjusted in accordance with the 2011 Plan or any other agreement evidencing the Option (collectively, the "Replacement Options").

 

(c) Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 637,500 shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Time (collectively, the "Warrants") will be exchanged into warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,550,000 shares of Company Common Stock, representing four (4) shares of Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Common Stock represented by the Warrants immediately prior to the Merger Time, exercisable at 25% of the price per share as the original Warrant, as previously adjusted in accordance with each applicable warrant agreement, with each fractional warrant share rounded up to the nearest whole share (collectively, the "Replacement Warrants"). The Replacement Warrants will be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E.

 

(d) Convertible Promissory Notes that are convertible upon exercise into an aggregate of 616,667 shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Time (collectively, the "Convertible Promissory Notes") will be exchanged into convertible promissory notes that are convertible upon exercise into an aggregate of 2,466,668 shares of Company Common Stock, representing four (4) shares of Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Common Stock represented by the Convertible Promissory Notes immediately prior to the Merger Time, exercisable at 25% of the price per share as the original Convertible Promissory Note, as previously adjusted in accordance with each applicable Convertible Promissory Note, with each fractional share rounded up to the nearest whole share (collectively, the "Replacement Convertible Promissory Notes"). The Replacement Convertible Promissory Notes will be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.

 

(e) Each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Subsidiary issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Time will be automatically converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Company; and

 

(f) All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender of and exchange of Company Common Stock for shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 1.2 will be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock.

1.3 Rights of Holders of Company Capital Stock.

 

(a) From and after the Merger Time and until surrendered for exchange, each outstanding stock certificate or Book Entry that, immediately prior to the Merger Time, represented shares of Company Common Stock (except Dissenting Shares) will be deemed for all purposes, to evidence ownership of and to represent the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Company Common Stock will have been converted pursuant to Section 1.2(a) above. The record holder of each such outstanding certificate or Book Entry representing shares of Company Common Stock, will, immediately after the Merger Time, be entitled to vote the shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted on any matters on which the holders of record of the Parent Common Stock, as of any date subsequent to the Merger Time, are entitled to vote. In any matters relating to such certificates or Book Entries of Company Common Stock, Parent may rely conclusively upon the record of stockholders maintained by Company containing the names and addresses of the holders of record of Company Common Stock on the Closing Date.

 

(b) At the Merger Time, Parent shall have reserved a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Parent Common Stock for issuance in connection with the issuance of the Merger Consideration upon automatic conversion of Company Common Stock into Parent Common Stock at the Merger Time and a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Parent Common Stock for issuance in connection with the exercise of the Replacement Options, Replacement Warrants and the Replacement Convertible Promissory Notes.

 

1.4 Procedure for Surrender and Exchange of Certificates.

 

(a) After the Merger Time, each record holder of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (except Dissenting Shares) will be entitled to receive certificates or Book Entries representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Company Common Stock shall have been converted as provided in Section 1.2 hereof. Parent shall not be obligated to deliver certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock, to which any holder of shares of Company Common Stock is entitled, until such holder surrenders the certificate(s), if any, representing such Company Common Stock. Upon surrender, each certificate evidencing Company Common Stock shall be canceled. If there is a transfer of Company Common Stock ownership that has not been registered in the transfer records of Company, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the certificate so surrendered is registered if: (x) upon presentation to the Secretary of Parent, such certificate, if any, shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, (y) the Person requesting such transfer shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of or certificates, if any, representing shares of Parent Common Stock to a Person other than the registered holder of such shares or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable, and (z) the issuance of such shares of or certificates, if any, representing shares of Parent Common Stock shall not, in the sole discretion of Parent, violate the requirements of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act with respect to the private placement of Parent Common Stock that will result from the Merger.

 

(b) Any shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger will not be transferable except (1) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) upon receipt by Parent of a written opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent to the effect that the proposed transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and relevant state securities laws. Restrictive legends will be placed on all certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger, substantially as follows:

 

NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS IN EFFECT THEREUNDER AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR "BLUE SKY" LAWS (SUCH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS, THE "SECURITIES LAWS") OR (B) IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, WHICH OPINION AND COUNSEL SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION OR SIMILAR REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

 
4

 

 

(c) Excluding any shares of Company Common Stock held in Book Entry, in the event any certificate for shares of Company Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon the making of a sworn affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, one or more certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock as provided herein; provided, however, that Parent, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of such certificates, may require the holder of the shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or any other party with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

  

1.5 Dissenting Shares. Shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Time and held by a stockholder of Company who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised and preserved appraisal rights with respect to such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the "Dissenting Shares") will not be converted into or represent a right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.2 above, but the holders thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for such shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, will receive payment therefor from the Surviving Company in accordance with such laws; provided, however, that if any such holder of Dissenting Shares has effectively withdrawn such holder"s demand for appraisal of such shares or lost such holder"s right to appraisal and payment of such shares under Section 262 of the DGCL, such holder or holders (as the case may be) will forfeit the right to appraisal of such shares and each such share will thereupon be deemed to have been canceled, extinguished and converted, as of the Merger Time, into and represent the right to receive the shares of Parent Common Stock as provided in Section 1.2 above.

 

1.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Company. The directors of Company immediately prior to the Merger Time will become the sole directors of the Surviving Company. As of the Merger Time, the officers of Company immediately prior to the Merger Time will become the sole officers of the Surviving Company. Each such director and officer will hold such office until their respective successors are duly appointed or such Persons are removed from office in accordance with applicable law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company.

 

1.7 Tax Treatment. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Each of the parties hereto adopts this Agreement as a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Sections 1.368 -2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Both prior to and after the Closing, each party"s books and records shall be maintained, and all federal, state and local income tax returns and schedules thereto shall be filed in a manner consistent with the Merger being qualified as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code (and comparable provisions of any applicable state or local laws).

ARTICLE 2.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF COMPANY

 

Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

 

2.1 Organization and Good Standing. Company (a) is a duly organized and validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized and (b) has full corporate power and authority to own and lease its properties and assets and conduct its business. The copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Company that have been made available to Parent are correct and complete copies of such documents as in effect as of the Effective Date. Company is duly qualified and in good standing to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the ownership and leasing of its properties and assets or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing will not have a Material Adverse Effect on the ability of Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

2.2 Authority and Authorization; Conflicts; Consents.

 

(a) Authority and Authorization. Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Company and the consummation by Company of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by Company"s Board of Directors and, except for approval of this Agreement and the Merger by the requisite approval of Company"s stockholders (the "Required Company Stockholder Approval"), no other corporate proceedings on the part of Company are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and all other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 2.1. Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of the holders of shares of each class or series of stock as are entitled to notice thereof and to vote thereat pursuant to applicable law and the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation for the purpose of electing directors and transacting such other proper business as may come before it shall be held in each year, at such time, on such day and at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by the Board of Directors.

 

Section 2.2.

Section 2.3. Notice of Meetings and Adjourned Meetings.  Except as otherwise provided by law, written notice of any meeting of Stockholders (i) shall be given either by personal delivery or by mail to each Stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat, (ii)  shall be in such form as is approved by the Board of Directors, and (iii) shall state the date, place and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.  Unless otherwise provided by law, such written notice shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.  Except when a Stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, presence in person or by proxy of a Stockholder shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting.  Further, a written waiver of any notice required by law or by these Bylaws, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.  Except as otherwise provided by law, the business that may be transacted at any such meeting shall be limited to and consist of the purpose or purposes stated in such notice.  If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken;  provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

Section 2.4. Voting List.  The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall keep a complete list of Stockholders entitled to vote at meetings or any adjournments thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, in accordance with applicable law and shall make same available prior to and during each Stockholders' meeting for inspection by the Corporation's Stockholders as required by law.  The Corporation's original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the Stockholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of Stockholders.

 

Section 2.5. Quorum.  Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the Corporation's stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, without regard to class or series, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Stockholders for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the Stockholders, the holders of a majority of such shares of stock, present in person or represented by proxy, may adjourn any meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting, except as otherwise required by these Bylaws, until a quorum shall be present or represented.  At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

 

Section 2.6. Organization.  Meetings of the Stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if one shall be elected, or in his absence, by the President, or, in the absence of any of such officers, by a chairman to be chosen by a majority of the Stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting who are present in person or by proxy.  The Secretary, or, in his absence, any Assistant Secretary or any person appointed by the individual presiding over the meeting, shall act as secretary at meetings of the Stockholders.

Section 2.7. Voting.  Each Stockholder of record, as determined pursuant to Section 2.8, who is entitled to vote in accordance with the terms of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and in accordance with the provisions of these Bylaws, shall be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share of stock registered in his name on the books of the Corporation.  Every Stockholder entitled to vote at any Stockholders' meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy pursuant to Section 2.11, provided that no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.  A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only so long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.  A Stockholder's attendance at any meeting shall not have the effect of revoking a previously granted proxy unless such Stockholder shall in writing so notify the Secretary of the meeting prior to the voting of the proxy. Unless otherwise provided by law, no vote on the election of directors or any question brought before the meeting need be by ballot unless the chairman of the meeting shall determine that it shall be by ballot or the holders of a majority of the shares of stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to participate in such vote shall so demand.  In a vote by ballot, each ballot shall state the number of shares voted and the name of the Stockholder or proxy voting.  Except as otherwise provided by law, by the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, all elections of directors and all other matters before the Stockholders shall be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election or on the question.  In the election of directors, votes may not be cumulated.

 

Section 2.8. Stockholders Entitled to Vote.  The Board of Directors may fix a date not more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of any meeting of Stockholders, or, in the case of corporate action by written consent in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10, not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action, as a record date for the determination of the Stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or to act by written consent, and in such case such Stockholders and only such Stockholders as shall be Stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or to act by written consent, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Corporation after such record date is fixed as aforesaid.

 

Section 2.9. Order of Business.  The order of business at all meetings of Stockholders shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting or as is otherwise determined by the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote without regard to class or series at the meeting.

 

Section 2.10. Action by Written Consent.  Unless otherwise provided by law or the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without prior notice and an actual meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by the holders of outstanding 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.  Except as provided above, no action shall be taken by the Stockholders by written consent.  Prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those Stockholders who have not consented in writing.

Section 2.11. Authorization of Proxies.  Without limiting the manner in which a Stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him as proxy, the following are valid means of granting such authority.  A Stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for him as proxy.  Execution may be accomplished by the Stockholder or his authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing his or her signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.  A Stockholder may also authorize another person or persons to act for him as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the Stockholder.  If it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams or other electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information upon which they relied.  Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

 

Section 2.12. Inspectors and Voting Procedures

 

(a) The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of Stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof.  The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act.  If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of Stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.  Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.

 

(b) The inspectors shall (i) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (ii) determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots.  The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors.

 

(c) The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the Stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting.  No ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery upon application by a Stockholder shall determine otherwise.

 

(d) In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors may examine and consider such records or factors as allowed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Section 3.3. Quorum and Manner of Action.  At all meetings of the Board of Directors a majority of the total number of directors holding office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by law, by the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.  When the Board of Directors consists of one director, the one director shall constitute a majority and a quorum.  If at any meeting of the Board of Directors there shall be less than a quorum present, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is obtained, and no further notice thereof need be given other than by announcement at such adjourned meeting.  Attendance by a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. 

 

Section 3.4. Vacancies.  Except as otherwise provided by law or the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, in the case of any increase in the authorized number of directors or of any vacancy in the Board of Directors, however created, the additional director or directors may be elected, or, as the case may be, the vacancy or vacancies may be filled by majority vote of the directors remaining on the whole Board of Directors although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.  In the event one or more directors shall resign, effective at a future date, such vacancy or vacancies shall be filled by a majority of the directors who will remain on the whole Board of Directors, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.  Any director elected or chosen as provided herein shall serve until the sooner of:  (i) the unexpired term of the directorship to which he is appointed; (ii) until his successor is elected and qualified; or (iii) until his earlier resignation or removal.

 

Section 3.5.

Section 3.6. Removals.  Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, and another person or persons may be elected to serve for the remainder of his or their term by the holders of a majority of the shares of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors.  In case any vacancy so created shall not be filled by the Stockholders at such meeting, such vacancy may be filled by the directors as provided in Section 3.4. 

 

Section 3.7. Annual Meetings.  The annual meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held, if a quorum be present, immediately following each annual meeting of the Stockholders at the place such meeting of Stockholders took place, for the purpose of organization and transaction of any other business that might be transacted at a regular meeting thereof, and no notice of such meeting shall be necessary.  If a quorum is not present, such annual meeting may be held at any other time or place that may be specified in a notice given in the manner provided in Section 3.9 for special meetings of the Board of Directors or in a waiver of notice thereof.

 

Section 3.8.

Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the President, or by the Secretary on the written request of one- third (1/3) of the members of the whole Board of Directors stating the purpose or purposes of such meeting.  Notices of special meetings, if mailed, shall be mailed to each director not later than two (2) days before the day the meeting is to be held or if otherwise given in the manner permitted by these Bylaws, not later than the day before such meeting.  Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any special meeting need be specified in any notice or written waiver of notice unless so required by the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws.  Any and all business may be transacted at a special meeting, unless limited by law, the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws.

 

Section 3.10. Organization of Meetings.  At any meeting of the Board of Directors, business shall be transacted in such order and manner as such Board of Directors may from time to time determine, and all matters shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum, except as otherwise provided by these Bylaws or required by law.

 

Section 3.11. Place of Meetings.  The Board of Directors may hold their meetings and have one or more offices, and keep the books of the Corporation, outside the State of Delaware, at any office or offices of the Corporation, or at any other place as they may from time to time by resolution determine.

 

Section 3.12. Compensation of Directors.  Directors shall not receive any stated salary for their services as directors, but by resolution of the Board of Directors a fixed honorarium or fees and expenses, if any, of attendance may be allowed for attendance at each meeting.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.  Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending such committee meetings.

Section 3.13. Action by Unanimous Written Consent.  Unless otherwise restricted by law, the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if prior to such action all members of the Board of Directors or of such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or the committee.  Such written consent may be an electronic transmission (e-mail) or other written evidence that such person has agreed to the proposed action, even if no signature is attached, so long as the transmission can reasonably be determined to have originated from the Director.

 

Section 3.14. Participation in Meetings by Telephone.  Unless otherwise restricted by the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of such Board of Directors or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.  Participation in a meeting in such manner shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

ARTICLE IV.

 

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

Telephone Meetings.  Members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors may participate in or hold a meeting by use of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.  Participation in a meeting pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

Section 4.5. Action Without Meeting.  Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of any committee designated by the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all the members of the committee and filed with the minutes of the committee proceedings.

Section 7.5. Registered Stockholders.  Except as expressly provided by law, the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Corporation shall be entitled to treat registered Stockholders as the only holders and owners in fact of the shares standing in their respective names and the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, regardless of whether it shall have express or other notice thereof.

ELIMINATION OF CERTAIN LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS. The personal liability of the directors of the Corporation shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9.2

INDEMNIFICATION.

 

 

(a)

Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, to the fullest extent permitted by law, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys" fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph (b) below, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise. The Corporation may, by action of the board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.

 

 
4

 

 

(b)

Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph (a) above is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

 

 
 

(c)

Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation (as it may be amended from time to time), bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

9.3

Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DCGL.

 

 

9.4

Amendment or Repeal. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Article, adoption of any provision in this Certificate of Incorporation, or change in the law or interpretation of the law shall adversely affect any right or protection of any person under this Article with respect to any act or omission that occurred prior to the time of such amendment, modification, repeal, adoption or change.

 

ARTICLE 10

Except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called only by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.

5

 

ARTICLE 11

Dispute Resolution

 

11.1

Exclusive Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any or all intracorporate claims, which shall include claims, including claims in the right of the Corporation, (i) that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director or officer or stockholder in such capacity, or (ii) as to which Title 8 of the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Delaware Court of Chancery, shall be a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located in the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware).

Section 10.1 RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans maintained or sponsored by the Corporation, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys" fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 10.4 of this Article X, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors.

 

Section 10.2 ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES.  The right to indemnification conferred in this Article X shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, such advances to be paid by the Corporation after receipt by the Corporation of a written statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances; provided, however, that if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article X or otherwise.

 

Section 10.3 OBTAINING INDEMNIFICATION.  To obtain indemnification under this Article X, a  claimant shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the claimant and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the claimant is entitled to indemnification. Upon written request by a claimant for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 10.3, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the claimant"s entitlement thereto shall be made as follows: (1) if requested by the claimant, by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined), or (2) if no request is made by the claimant for a determination by Independent Counsel, (i) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) if a quorum of the board of directors consisting of Disinterested Directors is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, such quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the claimant, or (iii) if a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel at the request of the claimant, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the board of directors unless there shall have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of the action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a Change in Control (as defined below), in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the claimant unless the claimant shall request that such selection be made by the board of directors. If it is so determined that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within 30 days after such determination. If a claimant is successful, in whole or in part, in any suit brought against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of any written claim to indemnification, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.

Section 10.4 RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT.  If a claim under Section 10.1 of this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim pursuant to Section 10.3 of this Article X has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

Section 10.5. CORPORATION"S OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY.  If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10.3 of this Article X that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 10.4 of this Article X.

 

Section 10.6 PRECLUSION FROM CHALLENGING ARTICLE X.  The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 10.4 of this Article X that the procedures and presumptions of this Article X are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Article X.

 

For purposes of this Article X:

 

(a) "Change in Control" shall be deemed to occur only if a majority of the members of the board of directors shall not be (i) individuals elected as directors of the Corporation for whose election proxies shall have been solicited by the board of directors of the Corporation or (ii) individuals elected or appointed by the board of directors of the Corporation to fill vacancies on the board of directors caused by death or resignation (but not by removal) or to fill newly created directorships.

 

(b) "Disinterested Director" means a director of the Corporation who is not and was not a party to the matter in respect of which indemnification is sought by the claimant.

 

(c) "Independent Counsel" means a law firm, a member of a law firm, or an independent practitioner, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and shall include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would not have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the claimant in an action to determine the claimant"s rights under this Article X.

 

 
12

 

Section 10.7 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS.  The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article X shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification of this Article X shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.

 

Section 10.8 INSURANCE.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. To the extent that the Corporation maintains any policy or policies providing such insurance, each such director or officer, and each such agent or employee to which rights to indemnification have been granted as provided in Section 10.9 of this Article X, shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage thereunder for any such director, officer, employee or agent.

 

Section 10.9 OTHER EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.  The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board of directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent or class of employees or agents of the Corporation (including the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of each such person) to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article X with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation. 

 

Section 10.10 VALIDITY OF ARTICLE X.  If any provision or provisions of this Article X shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

(i) the tender to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) of a notice of exercise in the form of Exhibit A (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly completed and executed by or on behalf of the Holder, together with the surrender of this Warrant; and

(b) Net Issue Exercise.In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), if the fair market value of one Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder may elect to receive a number of Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) together with a properly completed and executed Notice of Exercise reflecting such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of Shares computed using the following formula:

Where:

 

 

x

=

The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder

(i) where a public market exists for the Company"s Common Stock at the time of such exercise, the fair market value per Share shall be the product of (x) the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock or the closing price quoted on the national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed as published in the Wall Street Journal, as applicable, for the ten (10) trading day period ending five (5) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Share is convertible at the time of such exercise, as applicable; and

 

(ii) if the Warrant is exercised in connection with the Company"s initial public offering of Common Stock, the fair market value per Share shall be the product of (x) per share offering price to the public of the Company"s initial public offering and (y)  the number of shares of Common Stock into which each Share is convertible at the time of such exercise, as applicable.

 

(c) Stock Certificates. The rights under this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised in accordance with its terms, and the person entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as reasonably practicable on or after such date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for that number of Shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that the rights under this Warrant are exercised in part and have not expired, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant reflecting the number of Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.

 

(d) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant.

 

(e) Conditional Exercise.The Holder may exercise this Warrant conditioned upon (and effective immediately prior to) consummation of any transaction that would cause the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8 by so indicating in the notice of exercise.

 

(f) Reservation of Stock. The Company agrees during the term the rights under this Warrant are exercisable to take all reasonable action to reserve and keep available from its authorized and unissued Shares for the purpose of effecting the exercise of this Warrant such number of shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of the rights under this Warrant; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Shares shall not be sufficient for purposes of the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms and the conversion of the Shares, without limitation of such other remedies as may be available to the Holder, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized and unissued Shares to a number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

 

3.  Replacement of the Warrant.Subject to the receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at the expense of the Holder shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

10. Market Stand-off.The Holder of this Warrant hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by the Holder (other than those included in the registration) during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following the effective date of the registration statement for the Company"s initial public offering filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), provided that management of the Company agrees to the same restrictions. The obligations described in this Section shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-l or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions and may stamp each certificate with a legend as substantially set forth in Section 5(e) with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day (or other) period. The Holder agrees to execute a market stand-off agreement with the underwriters in the offering in customary form consistent with the provisions of this Section.

 

11. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(a) No Registration. The Holder understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Holder"s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.

 

(b) Investment Intent. The Holder is acquiring the Securities for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Securities, nor does it have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for the same.

 

(c) Investment Experience. The Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and protecting its own interests.

 

(d) Speculative Nature of Investment.The Holder understands and acknowledges that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and that its investment in the Company is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. The Holder can bear the economic risk of its investment and is able, without impairing its financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.

 

 
8

  

(e) Access to Data. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions of officers of the Company, which questions were answered to its satisfaction. The Holder believes that it has received all the information that it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. The Holder understands that any such discussions, as well as any information issued by the Company, were intended to describe certain aspects of the Company"s business and prospects, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description. The Holder acknowledges that any business plans prepared by the Company have been, and continue to be, subject to change and that any projections included in such business plans or otherwise are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results.

 

(f) Accredited Investor.The Holder is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and agrees to submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company.

 

(g) Residency. The residency of the Holder (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity"s principal place of business) is correctly set forth on the signature page of hereto.

 

(h) Restrictions on Resales.The Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permit resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which may include, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about the Company; the resale occurring not less than a specified period after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold; the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations; the sale being effected through a "broker"s transaction," a transaction directly with a "market maker" or a "riskless principal transaction" (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder); and the filing of a Form 144 notice, if applicable. The Holder acknowledges and understands that the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Holder wishes to sell the Securities and that, in such event, the Holder may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the other applicable requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. The Holder acknowledges that, in the event the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Securities. The Holder understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.

 

(i) No Public Market. The Holder understands and acknowledges that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Company"s securities.

 

(j) Brokers and Finders.The Holder has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents in connection with the Securities, and the Company has not incurred nor will incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of any action taken by the Holder, any liability for brokerage or finders" fees or agents" commissions or any similar charges in connection with the Securities.

(k) Legal Counsel. The Holder has had the opportunity to review this Warrant, the exhibits and schedules attached hereto and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant with its own legal counsel. The Holder is not relying on any statements or representations of the Company or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Warrant.

 

(l) Tax Advisors. The Holder has reviewed with its own tax advisors the U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant. With respect to such matters, the Holder relies solely on any such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. The Holder understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant.
