| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
Arrangement Agreement
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Aditxt, Inc. (“Aditxt” or the “Company”), on April 1, 2024 (the “Execution Date”), the Company entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Adivir, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Adivir” or the “Buyer”), and Appili Therapeutics, Inc., a Canadian corporation (“Appili”), pursuant to which, Adivir will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Class A common shares of Appili (the “Appili Shares”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. The acquisition of the Appili Shares (the “Arrangement”) will be completed by way of a statutory plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporation Act (the “CBCA”).
On July 1, 2024, the Company, Adivir and Appili entered into an Amending Agreement (the “Amending Agreement”), pursuant to which the Parties (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) agreed that: (i) the Outside Date (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) would be changed to August 30, 2024; (ii) Adivir agreed that it would convene the Company Meeting (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) no later than August 30, 2024, provided that Appili shall be under no obligation to convene the Company Meeting prior to the date that is 50 days following the date that Aditxt delivers to Appili all complete Additional Financial Disclosure (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) required for inclusion in the Company Circular (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement); (iii) Aditxt shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Financing (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) no later than August 30, 2024; and (iv) Aditxt or Appili may terminate the Arrangement Agreement if the Financing is not completed by 5:00 p.m. (ET) on August 30, 2024 or such later date as the Parties may agree in writing.
A copy of the Amending Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amending Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is incomplete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the actual agreement. The Amending Agreement and other agreements described below have been included as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide security holders with information regarding their terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Adivir or Appili. In particular, the assertions embodied in representations and warranties by the Company, Adivir and Appili contained in the Amending Agreement were made as of a specified date, are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement, including being qualified by confidential information in the disclosure letters provided by the parties in connection with the execution of the Amending Agreement, and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contractive parties that may differ from those applicable to security holders. The confidential disclosures contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Amending Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Amending Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Amending Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about the Company, Adivir or Appili. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Amending Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor “provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including statements regarding the Company’s or Appili’s future results of operations and financial position are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of the respective management teams of the Company and Appili and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company and Appili.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks including, but not limited to, the following risks relating to the proposed transactions: (1) the risk that the proposed transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of the Company’s securities; (2) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the Closing, including the approval by the shareholders of Appili and the completion of the Financing by the Company; (3) the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions; and (4) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s public filings with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or the Company’s and Appili’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and other documents we filed, or will file with the SEC. There may be additional risks that neither the Company nor Appili presently know, or that the Company or Appili currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s and Appili’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company and Appili anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company’s and Appili’s assessments to change. However, while the Company and Appili may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company and Appili specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as otherwise required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s and Appili’s assessments of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
