4.Redemption. The Company and each of the Schedule A Stockholders hereby agree and covenant that they will:

 

(a)Transfer to BioXcel LLC. As soon as commercially reasonable following the Effective Date in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause BioXcel LLC to transfer 566,245 BTAI Shares to the Company in exchange for common interests in BioXcel LLC.

 

(b)Tax Coverage Sales and Dividends of Tax Coverage Funds. As soon as commercially reasonable following the Effective Date in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company will cause BioXcel LLC to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell 252,028 BTAI Shares, either (i) pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (333-240118), or (ii) pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and may, if needed, enter into a 10b5-1 plan (in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto) to facilitate such sales over a period ending not more than six months from entering into such plan (each such sale, a Tax Coverage Sale,” and all of such sales, the “Tax Coverage Sales”). As soon as commercially reasonable following the receipt of funds from one or more Tax Coverage Sales, the Company shall cause BioXcel LLC to effect a special distribution to the Company of all of the proceeds from the applicable Tax Coverage Sale(s) to the Company in exchange for common interests in BioXcel LLC. From time to time following the receipt of the proceeds of one or more Tax Coverage Sales from BioXcel LLC, the Company shall, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, declare and pay a pro rata dividend of all proceeds from such Tax Coverage Sale(s) received from BioXcel LLC to all of the stockholders of the Company as of the time of each corresponding Tax Coverage Sale (which shall be the same stockholders and in the same pro rata amounts as their legal ownership as of the time of declaration and the record date therefor, with the record date for such dividend being the time it is so declared) to cover the tax liabilities incurred by the stockholders as a result of the Tax Coverage Sales and transfer of the Offset Distributions (the “Tax Coverage Funds”); provided, however, that the Tax Coverage Funds shall in each instance be reduced by taking into account amounts paid (or to be paid) directly by the Company to the State of Connecticut with respect to income taxes owed solely as a result of the Tax Coverage Sales and transfer of the Offset Distributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to refrain from making any Tax Coverage Sales and instead to cover the tax liabilities incurred by the stockholders as a result of the Offset Distributions in cash (the “Cash Coverage Option”). The parties understand and agree that for the purposes of this Agreement, in each instance of any action to be taken by the Company (or by BioXcel LLC), either entity may perform such actions for administrative convenience when commercially reasonable and consistent with the intent of this Agreement.

 

 

 

(c)BTAI Interests. Concurrently with each sale of BTAI Shares pursuant to a Tax Coverage Sale, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Company will transfer an Offset Distribution (as defined below) of BTAI Shares to the Schedule A Stockholders. Each of the Company and the Schedule A Stockholders acknowledge and agree that an aggregate of 566,245 BTAI Shares shall be transferred as Offset Distributions to the Schedule A Stockholders in connection with BTAI Share Exchanges, subject to the treatment of fractional shares and any other adjustments otherwise expressly required herein. In the event the Company elects the Cash Coverage Option, it shall transfer an aggregate of 566,245 BTAI Shares as Offset Distributions to the Schedule A Stockholders. Each Stockholder listed on Schedule A hereto will receive their pro rata portion of such Offset Distribution according to the percentages specified on Schedule A hereto. In exchange for each Offset Distribution, immediately following the declaration of a dividend by the Company of the associated Tax Coverage Funds and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Schedule A Stockholders will transfer and surrender to the Company a Corresponding Percentage of Company Shares, free and clear of any pledge or other encumbrance, and such Corresponding Percentage of Company Shares held by the Schedule A Stockholder hereto shall automatically be repurchased by the Company and shall cease to be outstanding, notwithstanding the fact that any certificate(s) representing such Company Shares have not yet been surrendered to the Company, ultimately resulting in the transfer and surrender to the Company of 100% of the Company Shares held by the Schedule A Stockholders (each such exchange of Company Shares for Offset Distributions, a “BTAI Share Exchange”, and the date of each such exchange, a “Redemption Date”).

 

i.An “Offset Distribution” means BTAI Shares in the amount of 224.675% of such number of BTAI Shares sold pursuant to the applicable Tax Coverage Sale. In the event the Company elects the Cash Coverage Option, the Offset Distribution amount shall be 566,245 BTAI Shares.

 

ii.A “Corresponding Percentage” shall mean the number of Company Shares held by a Schedule A Stockholder as of the Effective Date multiplied by a percentage, the numerator of which is (i) the number of BTAI Shares being transferred in each such BTAI Share Exchange and the denominator of which is (ii) 566,245, the total number of BTAI Shares that are subject to being transferred as Offset Distributions in connection with the BTAI Share Exchanges, ultimately resulting in 100% of the Company Shares held by the Schedule A Stockholders being transferred and surrendered in the BTAI Share Exchanges once 100% of the BTAI Shares subject to the BTAI Share Exchanges are transferred to such Stockholders in consideration thereof. For example, if 100 BTAI Shares are distributed in a BTAI Share Exchange out of a 1,000 total BTAI Shares subject to Offset Distributions in connection with BTAI Share Exchanges, then 10% of the Company Shares held by each Schedule A Stockholder will be transferred and surrendered as the Corresponding Percentage.

 

 

 

iii.On or before each Redemption Date, each Schedule A Stockholder who holds Company Shares in certificated form shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that no certificates were issued or such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Company, in the manner and at the place designated by the Company. As to all such certificated Company Shares and all uncertificated Company Shares, all of the Company Shares that are transferred and surrendered upon a BTAI Share Exchange will be deemed cancelled by the Company. In the event less than all of the Company Shares represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the unredeemed Company Shares shall promptly be issued to such Stockholder. The Company and the Schedule A Stockholders acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall constitute a stock power, and that each of the Schedule A Stockholders hereto irrevocably constitutes and appoints each and any officer of the Company as its attorney-in-fact to record the transfer of the Corresponding Percentage of the Company Shares on the stock ledger and books of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with full power of substitution in the premises.

 

iv.In lieu of any fractional BTAI Shares to which a Stockholder would otherwise be entitled, the number of BTAI Shares of shall be rounded down and in lieu of any such fractional BTAI Share the Company shall pay cash to such stockholder the amount computed by multiplying such fractional interest by the fair market value of a full BTAI Share as of the date of such Offset Distribution, based on the closing price as of such date.

 

v.The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts in compliance with applicable securities laws to remove restrictive legends prohibiting the resale of such securities from the BTAI Shares transferred as an Offset Distribution in connection therewith, or as soon as practicable thereafter. Any Offset Distribution that is distributed without restrictive legends limiting the resale of such securities pursuant to the Act (“S-3 Shares”) shall be subject to the Lockup.

 

vi.Sections 4(b) and 4(c) shall be effected in the following sequence: each Tax Coverage Sale will have a concurrent distribution of an Offset Distribution to the Schedule A Stockholders, followed by the transfer of Tax Coverage Funds to the Company, followed thereafter from time to time by a declaration of a dividend of the Tax Coverage Funds to the Company’s stockholders for the purpose of providing funds to pay the tax liability associated with such Tax Coverage Sales and Offset Distributions (with the record date for such dividend being the time it is so declared). Immediately following the declaration of such dividend, automatically and without any further action by any of the parties, the Corresponding Percentage of Company Shares shall be deemed to be surrendered by the Schedule A Stockholders and retired by the Company.

 

 

 

vii.The “Lockup” means that, until the date that is 180 days after such Offset Distribution shares are received, each Schedule A Stockholder shall not, without the written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the S-3 Shares; provided that (i) the Lockup shall only apply to 75% of each of the Schedule A Stockholder’s S-3 Shares, (ii) beginning on the date that is 60 days after such Offset Distribution, the Lockup shall only apply to 50% of each of the Schedule A Stockholder’s S-3 Shares, and (ii) beginning on the date that is 120 days after such Offset Distribution, the Lockup shall only apply to 25% of each of the Schedule A Stockholder’s S-3 Shares.

 

(d)InveniAI Interests. As soon as commercially reasonable and in compliance with applicable securities laws, following the Effective Date and the receipt by InveniAI of a 409A (or similar) valuation report (and in no event more than six months after the Effective Date), InveniAI will issue to the Schedule A Stockholders InveniAI Warrants (with such warrants expiring ten (10) years from issuance) to purchase an aggregate of 7.598% of the outstanding InveniAI membership interests on a fully-diluted basis as of the date hereof, with the exercise price of such warrants equal to the fair market value of such Class B Non-Voting Membership Interests on or about the date of issuance of the InveniAI Warrants, in the pro rata percentages specified on Schedule A hereto. InveniAI and Vipin Agarwal will cooperate to establish mutually agreeable provisions of such warrants that are commercially reasonable, including but not limited to with respect to notice, forfeiture, and exercise timing and mechanics.

 

5.Splits and Reorganizations. In the event of any change in the number of BTAI Shares outstanding as a result of a stock split, pro rata share dividend or any similar change in the number of shares outstanding (an “Adjustment Event”), all BTAI share amounts in this Agreement will be adjusted such that they represent the same percentage of shares as immediately prior to the record date associated with such Adjustment Event.

 

6.Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree that for income tax purposes, each Offset Distribution will be the redemption price associated with each associated transfer and sale to the Company of the Corresponding Percentage on a Redemption Date. The Company will have the option to file an election (if available by law and whether under Section 1377 of the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise), to “close the books” with respect to income allocations with respect to the amounts of shares and periods of Company ownership of the Stockholders, and the parties hereto shall cooperate with respect to the preparing and filing any such election.
