Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 12, 2023, PLx Pharma Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, PLx Opco Inc. (together with the Company, the "Sellers"), entered
into a stalking horse asset purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement")
with PLx Acquisition Company, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greenwood
Brands, LLC (the "Purchaser"), to acquire substantially all of the Sellers'
assets (the "Sale"). The Sellers intend to file voluntary petitions for relief
under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") within
the next two business days.
The proposed Sale will be conducted through a Bankruptcy Court-supervised
process pursuant to Bankruptcy Court-approved bidding procedures, and is subject
to the receipt of higher or better offers from competing bidders at an auction,
approval of the sale by the Bankruptcy Court, and the satisfaction of certain
conditions. As the stalking horse bidder, the Purchaser's offer to purchase the
Acquired Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities (as illustrated by the terms
and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement) would be the standard against
which any other qualifying bids would be evaluated.
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, and subject to section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Asset
Purchase Agreement provides for consideration that consists of a partial credit
bid of $3,000,000, plus the potential assumption of certain liabilities, plus
$100,000 in cash. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains certain customary
representations and warranties made by each party, which are qualified by
confidential disclosures provided to the Purchaser in connection with the Asset
Purchase Agreement. The Sellers and the Purchaser have agreed to various
customary covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding the conduct of
the Sellers' business prior to the consummation of the Sale (the "Closing").
The Asset Purchase Agreement provides the Purchaser with certain bid protections
that remain subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. In particular, if
the Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated for certain reasons, including if the
Sellers enter into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, an
Alternative Transaction (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), or if the
Bankruptcy Court enters an order approving an Alternative Transaction, the
Sellers may be required to reimburse the Purchaser for its reasonable expenses
up to $400,000 and pay the Purchaser a termination fee of $100,000.
The Closing of the Sale is scheduled to be held on the date of the satisfaction
or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby, including the Sale, does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
incorporated herein by reference.
