Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Reformation Agreement
As disclosed in the Current Reports on Form 8-K of Resonate Blends, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), filed on February 26, 2024 (the “February 26 Current Report”), on March 7, 2024 (the “March 7 Current Report”), and on March 20, 2024 (the “March 20 Current Report”), on February 20, 2024, the Company entered into entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Emergent Health Corp., a Wyoming corporation (“EMGE”), and the holders (collectively, the “EMGE Preferred Shareholders”) of Series Class A Preferred Stock and the Series C Convertible Non-Voting Preferred Stock (collectively, the “EMGE Equity Interests”). On March 14, 2024, the parties closed the Exchange Agreement.
At the closing of the Exchange Agreement: (a) the EMGE Preferred Shareholders exchanged all of their respective EMGE Equity Interests for an equal number of shares of the Company’s Series F Convertible Preferred Stock that converts into 93% of the common stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis (the “Company Exchange Shares”), which shares of Series F Preferred Stock are currently issuable to the EMGE Preferred Shareholders and are to be issued upon the Company’s filing of a Certificate of Designation with the State of Nevada; (b) the Company consummated a conveyance agreement; and (c) all persons serving as directors and officers of the Company prior to the consummation of the Exchange Agreement resigned and appointed four new members of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Effective August 8, 2024, the Company entered into a Reformation of Share Exchange Agreement (the “Reformation Agreement”) with EMGE and the EMGE Preferred Shareholders. The Reformation Agreement was entered into after the Company, EMGE and the EMGE Preferred Shareholders having independently determined that the structure of the Exchange Agreement resulted in the parties’ experiencing consequences that were unintended and that would not, in the long term, be beneficial to the parties and that a reformation of the Exchange Agreement from a share-for-share structure to a share-for-asset structure would be beneficial to each of the parties.
By the Reformation Agreement, share-for-share structure of the Exchange Agreement was reformed to become a share-for-asset structure (the “Reformation”). Effecting the Reformation produced the following actions (the “Reformation Actions”):
(a)
First, the issuances of the Company Exchange Shares to the EMGE Preferred Shareholders were rescinded.
(b)
Next, the assignments of the EMGE Equity Interests by the EMGE Preferred Shareholders to the Company were rescinded.
(c) The Company, then, re-issued the Company Exchange Shares to EMGE, in consideration of the following assets of EMGE (the “Acquired Assets”):
? All of the capital stock of Evolutionary Biologics, Inc.;
? All of the capital stock of Apollo Biowellness, Inc.;
? All of the capital stock of Nanosthetic, Inc.; and
? All of the capital stock of Nanogistics, Inc.
In addition, the Reformation Actions resulted in the Company’s no longer being the controlling shareholder of EMGE.
At a yet-to-be-determined time in the future, the Company intends to file a Form S-1 Registration Statement with respect to the distribution of the Company Exchange Shares to the holders of capital stock of EMGE. The cost of this action will be borne by the Company.
The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the February 26 Current Report, the full text of an amendment to the Exchange Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the March 7 Current Report and the full text of an amendment to the Exchange Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the March 20 Current Report, each of which is incorporated by reference in this Current Report.
The foregoing description of the Reformation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text thereof, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to, and incorporated by reference in, this Current Report.

In his letter of resignation, Mr. Lipkins advised that his resignation did not “not in any way imply or infer that there is any dispute or disagreement relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.” Prior to his resignation, Mr. Lipkins and the Company had not entered into any compensation arrangement or other agreement.

Soon, KOAN will be renamed Apollo and will have a new Cusip number and symbol. The stock at play here is EMGE, and Morrison is focusing on EMGE. The merger structure revolves around EMGE because it is the entity with current business operations and revenue. For more info, visit Apollo's front page and then check out the news page. As Gatorca mentioned, the Apollo website currently displays news exclusively from EMGE.
https://apollobiowellness.com/in-the-news/
If we achieve a 1-1 share exchange, the value of EMGE would instantly increase 20-fold. This is something that Ihub users are clueless about; they have no idea regarding the differences between reverse triangular mergers and forward triangular mergers. Idiot basherTrade59's bashing of EMGE's common shares will be wiped out, which is hilariously stupid nonsense. If he has any brain cells left, he could simply Google or ask an AI these questions before spewing nonsense here:
1 - What happens to the stock in a reverse triangular merger?
2 - How does a reverse triangular merger affect shareholders?
Furthermore, this is something that nobody here knows or even considers exists. If people understood SEC rules and regulations and could read financial statements thoroughly, I wouldn't need to point this out. There is the '80% rule' for reverse triangular mergers. The '80% rule' refers to a provision under U.S. tax law (specifically Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code) that outlines a requirement for a transaction to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, specifically in the context of a reverse triangular merger. I won't delve into details, but here's one requirement they must fulfill: After the merger, shareholders of the target company—in our case, EMGE—must receive stock of the acquiring corporation, KOAN, equal to at least 80% of the total value of the target company's (T's) stock that they owned before the merger.
So, what is the EMGE value worth to KOAN? Despite KOAN trading higher than EMGE, it is nothing but an empty shell. In contrast, EMGE boasts multiple businesses, assets, and revenues in the multi-million-dollar range. Therefore, an exchange ratio of 1-1 is justified as a fair deal. Additionally, given that insiders at EMGE hold more than one-third of the outstanding shares, they are also seeking a higher per-share price. IMHO:)))

From current filing: Apollo Biowellness represents the consolidation of five cutting-edge companies (one of which, Evolutionary Biologics, Inc., is already a subsidiary of Emergent Health Corp.) operating in the regenerative medicine industry, each of them complimentary to one another, all having unique offerings or capabilities. The result is a new, vertically integrated player in the regenerative wellness category. By focusing on the three largest segments of the regenerative medicine market, we are positioned to become a leader in the fields of musculoskeletal care, wound healing and dermatology.
Apollo will, when its planned acquisitions of Juventix and IPS are completed, operate the following businesses through its subsidiaries:
? Integrative Practice Solutions, LLC, or IPS, organized under the laws of the state of Florida, engaged in licensing of The Advanced Arthritis Relief Protocol™, sale and distribution of medical devices, clinical training, and medical integration services. IPS is established as a leader in the non-surgical outpatient treatment of Osteoarthritis. It has developed America’s largest osteoarthritis treatment network with 200 licensed clinics in 37 states. With its highly profitable, disruptive technology, IPS has carved out a niche for its services that leaves it open to very limited competition;
? MAXIMUS Men’s Health, or Maximus, organized under the laws of the state of Delaware, focusing on solutions for the modern health focused male. The combination of osteoarthritis treatments, with PRP, and new age biologic products has enabled us to create treatments for uniquely male problems such as sports injuries, hair loss, erectile dysfunction, and testosterone replacement under Maximus.
? Juventix Regenerative Medical, LLC, organized under the laws of the state of Florida, is our state-of-the-art Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, offering. We have created a futuristic processing procedure that sets Juventix apart from all competition in the PRP world. This world-class PRP offering allows us to have a door opener which “starts the conversation” with doctors interested in regenerative medicine.
Our Acquired Companies are expected to have a large, seasoned base of established customers.
IPS features 221 current licensees of its patented Advanced Arthritis Relief Protocol™, in 35 states. Additionally, IPS sells unloading knee braces, medical supplies, and other consumables to a total of 468 past and current customers. Juventix supplies PRP blood processing kits, medical devices, and supplies to over 500 healthcare clinics in the Shared States, as well as limited distribution internally (primarily in the Middle East).
Juventix and our already owned subsidiary, Evolutionary Biologics sell biologic products to doctors in many fields. Both companies utilize 1099 sales representatives to call directly on the doctors who are potential customers.
