Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The relevant information in Item 5.02 on this Current Report on Form 8-K,
regarding the Hussey Stock Option is incorporated herein by reference. The
shares of common stock underlying the Hussey Stock Option were not registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") but
qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the
Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by
Conversion Labs, Inc. (the "Company") did not involve a "public offering," as
defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial
number of persons involved in the transaction manner of the issuance, and number
of securities issued. The Company did not undertake an offering or issuance in
which it issued a high number of securities to a high number of persons. In
addition, Mr. Hussey had the necessary investment intent as required by Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since he agreed to, and received, securities
bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule
144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would
not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a
"public offering." Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has
met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the
Securities Act.
