Medifast Collaboration and Private Placement

On December 11, 2023, LifeMD, Inc., (the “Company”) entered into a collaboration with Medifast, Inc. through and with certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Medifast”) (collectively, the “Parties”). Pursuant to certain agreements between the Parties, Medifast has agreed to pay to the Company the amount of $10 million to support the collaboration, funding enhancements to the Company platform, operations and supporting infrastructure, of which $5 million was paid at the closing on December 12, 2023, and the remainder is to be paid in two $2.5 million installments on March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 (or earlier upon the Company’s achievement of certain program milestones). These agreements contain customary representations, warranties, and other obligations of the Parties. 

In addition, in connection with the collaboration, on December 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Medifast’s wholly-owned subsidiary Jason Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), whereby the Company issued 1,224,425 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) at a purchase price of $8.1671 per share, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $10,000,000. Also therein, the Company granted the Purchaser the right, for a period contemporaneous with the ongoing collaboration, to appoint one non-voting observer to the Board of Directors of the Company, entitled to attend Board meetings. The Private Placement closed on December 12, 2023.

Contemporaneously, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated December 11, 2023 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), under which the Company, upon demand by Medifast, will register the shares of common stock sold thereunder.

The issuance of shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement described above were made in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

Cleared Purchase Agreement

As previously disclosed, on January 11, 2022, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Cleared Purchase Agreement), as amended on February 4, 2003 (the “First Amendment”), by and among the Company, Cleared Technologies, PBC, a Delaware public benefit corporation (“Cleared”) and the stockholders of Cleared identified therein (the “Sellers”). On October 17, 2023, the Company issued 117,583 shares of its common stock related to the fourth of five quarterly installment payments due to the Sellers under the Cleared Purchase Agreement. The First Amendment, among other things, reduced the total purchase price for Cleared’s stock by $250 thousand to a total of $3.67 million, of which $460 thousand was paid at closing, with the remaining amount to be paid in the five quarterly installments beginning on or before February 6, 2023 and ending January 15, 2024.

The issuances of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the First Amendment described above were made in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

Stock Awards and Options

In the fourth quarter of 2023, through the date of this report, the Company has issued 526,125 shares of its common stock to its employees related to vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) granted under its 2020 Equity and Incentive Plan and amendments thereto (the “Plan”). In the same period, the Company has issued 37,500 shares of its common stock on the exercise of stock options that were granted under the Plan.

The issuances of shares pursuant to the RSUs, RSAs, and stock options identified above were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such issuances were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
