September 2022 Transactions

Funds for the September 2022 purchase of securities reported herein were derived from the available working capital of NextPlat and from the personal funds of each of Messrs. Fernandez and Barreto. The Reporting Persons purchased the securities of the Issuer that are the subject of this Schedule 13D pursuant to a Recapitalization Plan described in Item 4 below.

On September 2, 2022, NextPlat purchased 3,000 units (the “Units”) of Progressive Care Inc. (the “Issuer”) for a total of $6,000,000. Each Unit consisted of one share of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock and one warrant (each, a “B Warrant”) to purchase one share of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock votes as a class with the Common Stock, has 100,000 votes per share, and each share is convertible into 100,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $2,000 per share and a dividend preference, and is convertible into shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock at a $0.02 per share conversion price. The Series B Preferred stock automatically converts into 100,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock on the date that the Issuer’s authorized number of shares of Common Stock is increased to a number sufficient to allow for their conversion. The B Warrants afford the holder the right to purchase one share of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share of $2,000.

Concurrent with the purchase of the Units, NextPlat, Charles M. Fernandez, Rodney Barreto, and certain other investors, purchased a convertible note issued by the Issuer to an unrelated party. The note represents aggregate indebtedness of $2,790,885.63 and was purchased for aggregate consideration of $2,300,000. In connection with the acquisition of the convertible note the purchasers including the Reporting Person, entered into a certain Debt Modification Agreement, dated August 30, 2022 (the “Modification Agreement”) with the Issuer pursuant to which the maturity of the convertible note was extended, the interest rate was reduced, the variable conversion feature was eliminated and a fixed conversion price of $0.02 was adopted. In consideration of those concessions, 21,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer were issued to the purchasers. NextPlat, Charles M. Fernandez and Rodney Barreto, purchased $1,213,428.53, $485,371.41, and $485,371.41, respectively, in outstanding balance of the note for purchase price of $1 million, $400,000, and $400,000, respectively, which represent the beneficial ownership in 60,671,427, 24,268,571, and 24,268,571 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, respectively, based upon the outstanding balance of the convertible note; and in addition NextPlat, Charles M.

Funds for the Purchase of the Debentures will be from the available working capital of NextPlat and from the proceeds from the sale of NextPlat’s securities.

The Reporting Persons acquired their positions in the securities that are the subject of this Schedule 13D (i) in the belief that the securities are undervalued, (ii) because the Reporting Persons believe that a strategic investment by NextPlat in the Issuer represents substantial business opportunities for the Issuer and for NextPlat with the promise of increasing the market value of both the Issuer’s securities and NextPlat’s securities; and (iii) to gain control of the Issuer by NextPlat. It is anticipated that NextPlat’s management team and select members of its Board of Directors, including Reporting Persons Charles M. Fernandez and Rodney Barreto will provide the Issuer with their experience in healthcare and digital technology including the development of new healthcare and lifestyle products, and it is anticipated that the Issuer’s products will be sold via NextPlat’s global e-commerce marketplaces. As part of this transaction, Mr. Fernandez was appointed as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, and Mr. Barreto was appointed to Issuer’s Board of Directors as Vice Chairman. The Issuer intends to utilize a portion of the capital invested by the Reporting Persons to further fund deployment of its digital platforms and the development and sale of new health, fitness, and beauty products.

NextPlat has determined to use shares of Issuer’s securities owned and or purchasable by NextPlat to assert control over Issuer.

The Reporting Persons have not determined whether to maintain the Issuer as a separate controlled public entity of NextPlat or seek to consolidate it with NextPlat. The Reporting Persons intend to have discussions with other stockholders of the Issuer, as well as other interested parties and possibly representatives of the Issuer, as they continue to evaluate the situation.

November 2022 Convertible Debt Facility

Pursuant to the SPA, all purchases of the Debentures will be made at NextPlat’s sole election. Pursuant to the SPA, all purchases of the Debentures will be made at NextPlat’s sole election. Each Debenture will be convertible at any time, upon the NextPlat’s election, to shares of the Issuer’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.03 per share (as may be adjusted from time to time for share dividends, share splits, reverse share splits, etc.). Pursuant to the SPA, all purchases of the Debentures will be made at NextPlat’s sole election and the proceeds from each purchase will be used by the Issuer only as approved by NextPlat’s Board of Directors. Until used, the proceeds from each purchase of Debentures will be deposited in a controlled account.

In addition, at the closing of each purchase under the SPA, NextPlat and the Issuer will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (each, a “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Issuer will agree to register the shares of Issuer common stock issuable upon conversion in full of the Debentures purchased by NextPlat at such closing.

In accordance with the form of Debenture to be used for each purchase under the SPA, each Debenture will be convertible at any time, upon NextPlat’s election, to shares of the Issuer’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.03 per share (as may be adjusted from time to time for share dividends, share splits, reverse share splits, etc.). In addition, each Debenture will mature on the third anniversary of its issuance and bear interest at 5.0% per annum, payable quarterly. At NextPlat’s election, interest can be paid in cash, shares of Issuer’s common stock, or some combination thereof. The Issuer has the right to prepay the Debenture at any time provided that it gives NextPlat seven (7) business days advance written notice, during which time NextPlat could elect to convert the Debenture to Issuer common stock. Upon the prepayment of a Debenture, Issuer will pay NextPlat an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all outstanding principal under such Debenture, plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest under such Debenture through the prepayment date, multiplied by (iii) 110%. While amounts are outstanding under a Debenture, the Issuer will be subject to certain restrictive covenants, including with respect to the incurrence of indebtedness, the imposition of liens on the Issuer’s assets, changes to the Issuer’s organization documents, etc.
