CVI Investments, Inc. Exchange Offer and Amendment
On November 14, 2022, Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into an exchange offer and amendment (the “CVI Exchange Offer and Amendment”) with CVI Investments, Inc. (“CVI”). Pursuant to the terms of the CVI Exchange Offer and Amendment, (i) the Company exchanged one (1) share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for each share of Common Stock underlying the warrant to purchase common stock, dated as of December 14, 2021, issued by the Company to CVI (the “CVI Warrant”); and (ii) the Company and CVI amended certain provisions of the senior secured convertible note, dated as of December 14, 2021, issued by the Company to CVI (the “CVI Note”), all as more fully described below and as set forth in the CVI Warrant and the CVI Note, as applicable.
Pursuant to the terms of the CVI Exchange Offer and Amendment, the Company and CVI agreed to amend the CVI Note such that (i) the Company shall pay the interest originally payable in November 2022 and December 2022 upon execution of the CVI Exchange Offer and Amendment, (ii) the Company shall pay a $50,000.00 extension fee to CVI ($10,000.00 on January 15, 2023, $10,000.00 on February 14, 2023, $10,000.00 on March 14, 2023, $10,000.00 on April 14, 2023, and $10,000.00 on May 15, 2023), (iii) the payment dates for the principal originally payable in November 2022 and December 2022 shall be extended such that 1/5 of such respective principal amount shall instead be paid on each Amortization Date (as defined in the CVI Note) during January 2023, February 2023, March 2023, April 2023, and May 2023, in addition to the Amortization Redemption Amounts (as defined in the CVI Note) (the “Amortization Redemption Amounts”) due on the aforementioned dates in 2023.
Also, pursuant to the terms of the CVI Exchange Offer and Amendment, the Company agreed to hold an annual or special meeting of stockholders on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) calendar days after November 14, 2022, for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval (“Shareholder Approval”) to amend the CVI Note as follows:
| (i) | the definition of Conversion Price (as defined in the CVI Note) (the “Conversion Price”) shall be amended such that, as to the first $1,000,000 of principal amount of the CVI Note converted after the date that the Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Conversion Price shall be the lower of (i) the Conversion Price in effect at such time and (ii) 82.0% of the lowest VWAP (as defined in the CVI Note) during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the applicable conversion date (the “Adjusted Conversion Price”), provided, however, that the portion of the first $1,000,000 of principal amount of the CVI Note that is converted pursuant to a voluntary conversion by CVI shall reduce each of the remaining Amortization Redemption Amounts proportionately on a pro rata basis; |
| (ii) | CVI may accelerate up to four Amortization Redemption Amounts (as defined in the Notes) provided that CVI agrees to accept shares of Common Stock instead of cash for such payments at a price per share equal to the Adjusted Conversion Price as calculated on the immediately preceding Amortization Date (as defined in the CVI Note)); and |
| (iii) | upon mutual consent by the Company and CVI, CVI may elect to utilize the Adjusted Conversion Price for the balance of the Notes. |
The CVI Exchange Offer and Amendment further provides that from November 14, 2022 until thirty (30) days following November 14, 2022, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Common Stock or any securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, or (ii) enter into any agreement to amend, exchange or otherwise provide any incentive to exercise any of the warrants originally issued together with the Exchange Warrants or any other warrants of the Company that are outstanding on November 14, 2022, in each such case except with respect to certain exempt issuances.
