Term Sheet – XCR Diagnostics, Inc.
On July 29, 2020, Bioethics Ltd. (the “Company”), entered into a non-binding Term Sheet with XCR Diagnostics, Inc. (“XCR”), subject to a number of conditions, to acquire 100% of the ownership of XCR. The consideration to be paid by the Company in the proposed purchase of XCR is approximately 34,158,826 shares of the Company’s common stock post 1-for-10 reverse stock split as further described below. The proposed acquisition is presently designed to occur by the Company purchasing shares of common stock of XCR through a tax-free share exchange whereby XCR becomes an operating subsidiary of the Company. As part of the transaction, the XCR stockholders will be issued approximately 34,158,826 shares in the Company and will constitute a substantial majority of the stockholders set out in Section “D” of the Term Sheet. The Company agrees to cause all known liabilities of the Company to be paid or settled by the closing date of the proposed merger (“Transaction”), except for $200,000 as noted in Section I of the Term Sheet. The Term Sheet proposes that the Company shall cover the payment of audit fees, FINRA fees, Secretary of State fees, and other fees and costs necessary to close the Transaction, conduct an offering, register shares with the SEC, but that XCR may agree to assist with some of these expenses. The Company affiliates Mark Scharmann and Elliott Taylor will agree to a lock-up/leak-out agreement governing their Company shares.
The terms of the proposed transaction must be set forth in a definitive agreement. There are no assurances that we will be successful in negotiating an acceptable definitive agreement, when or whether a definitive agreement will be reached between the parties, or that the proposed purchase will be consummated. Even if a definitive agreement is executed, the terms of the proposed purchase may change materially from the terms set forth in the Term Sheet. There will be many conditions to closing, many of which are outside of the parties’ control and we cannot predict whether these conditions will be satisfied. There are no assurances when or if closing will occur, even if the parties successfully negotiate and sign a definitive agreement. In addition, the Term Sheet requires that the Company raise at least $300,000 in a private placement within 90 days of Closing or XCR is entitled to rescind the Transaction in its sole discretion.
Closing of the acquisition of XCR is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to the completion of due diligence investigation of XCR by the Company that is acceptable to the Company, execution of 10-for-1 reverse split of the Company’s common stock, execution of definitive acquisition documents, obtaining necessary third-party approvals, including approvals by the boards and majority stockholders of both XCR and the Company, and completion of all necessary securities filings. The Company is currently engaged in due diligence of XCR and has not yet started to negotiate a definitive agreement for the proposed acquisition.
The foregoing description of the Term Sheet does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Term Sheet, which is attached as Exhibit 10.12 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 8.01 by reference.
Any equity securities that may be issued in the private placement will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available exemption under applicable federal and state securities laws. The disclosures in this Form 8-K regarding the private placement are being made pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act of 1933. This Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company or XCR.
