Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 20, 2024, Point of Care Nano-Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Point of Care Nano-Technology, LLC (“Point”) pursuant to which it agreed to acquire (the “Acquisition”) substantially all of the assets of Point (the “Assets”), consisting primarily of proprietary information and know-how for the developing and commercialization of kits to diagnose illnesses through the testing of human saliva, referred to as the “EZ Saliva” test kits, and cash in the amount of $101,400.
In exchange for the Assets, the Company is issuing to Point and/or its designees 66,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Consideration Shares”).
Upon the closing of the Acquisition, which effected a change of control of the Company, Dr. Raouf Guirguis, the controlling member of Point, became a director of the Company and Chief Scientific Officer. Dr. Guirguis also acquired, directly and indirectly, 34,596,800 of the Consideration Shares, or approximately 48.4% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding after completion of the Acquisition. Mr. Nathan Keele, an associate of Dr. Guirguis and responsible for marketing efforts at Point, also was appointed to the board of directors of the Company. Mr. Keele will continue his marketing efforts at the Company. Mr. Keele acquired 18,903,200 of the Consideration Shares, or approximately 26.5% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding after completion of the Acquisition.
Nicholas DeVito, the controlling stockholder of the Company prior to the Acquisition through the 1,000 shares of super-majority class A preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) of the Company that he held and through which he exercised eighty percent (80%) voting control over the Company, surrendered to the Company for cancellation the Preferred Stock and received, in exchange, 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Mr. DeVito will retain his positions as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of the Company as well as his status as a member of the Company’s board of directors.
The shares of Company common stock being issued in connection with the Acquisition (as described above) were issued in accordance with a private placement exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are considered “restricted securities.”
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Zeus Diagnostics, LLC (“Zeus”), a Delaware limited liability company controlled by Dr. Guirguis, pursuant to which the Company acquired an exclusive, in perpetuity, license, with a right to sublicense, in the Territory (Canada, the United States and Mexico) to the “Zeus Know-How” which consists of all information related to the manufacture and commercialization of saliva tests derived from patents owned by Zeus. The Company paid Zeus a one-time, non-refundable up-front cash fee of $35,000 (which is creditable against other payments due) and will pay Zeus a royalty on “Net Sales” (as defined in the License Agreement) of Seven and One-Half Percent (7.5%) during each calendar quarter.
Following the closing of the Acquisition, the Company’s business will focus on the EZ Saliva product commercialization activity previously carried on by Point.
