Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 6, 2022, we signed the Share Exchange Agreement, as amended. For a
description of the Share Exchange, and the material agreements entered into
therewith, please see Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which
disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT AND SHARE EXCHANGE BETWEEN MANUKA LTD AND ARTEMIS
THERAPEUTICS INC.
On March 6, 2022, we signed our Share Exchange Agreement between Artemis and the
Manuka, pursuant to which Manuka will become Artemis' wholly owned subsidiary.
Since its inception, Manuka's business activities primarily consisted of
distributing M?nuka honey imported from New Zealand, developing and distributing
supplements aimed at the beauty and skincare markets and, developing and
manufacturing skincare products based on New Zealand's M?nuka honey and bee
venom, among other natural ingredients. All three segments of Manuka's products
are to be marketed and sold solely on its websites. Manuka's skincare products
are manufactured in Israel.
The Share Exchange Agreement provides that, upon the terms, and subject to the
conditions set forth therein, on the closing date, which occurred on June 30,
2022 (the "Closing"), Artemis acquired all of the outstanding shares of Manuka
(the "Manuka Shares") from Manuka's shareholders in exchange for an aggregate
amount of 33,791,641 shares of common stock of Artemis and 110,000 shares of
Artemis' Series D Preferred stock (convertible into 66,000,000 shares of
Artemis' common stock) (collectively, the "Consideration Shares"), such that
Manuka's shareholders hold, immediately following the Closing, eighty-nine
percent (89%) of Artemis' issued and outstanding share capital (including and
assuming the full conversion of the Series D Preferred stock). At Closing, and
as required as a condition by the Israeli Tax Authority to affect a tax ruling
to approve the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, which
was received on June 21, 2022 (the "Tax Ruling"), the Manuka Shares and the
Consideration Shares will be placed in escrow with a third-party escrow agent.
As required under Israeli law, following the Closing, and upon receipt of
regulatory approvals, Manuka will become Artemis' wholly owned subsidiary. This
transaction was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act as not involving any public offering. None of the securities were sold
through an underwriter and, accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or
commissions involved.
Following the Closing, (i) the Manuka Shares have been released to Artemis, and
(ii) the Consideration Shares have been released to the Shareholders. As
required pursuant to the Tax Ruling, prior to the Closing, the parties have
engaged a trustee (the "103K Trustee") under a separate trust agreement (the
"Trust Agreement"), who shall hold in trust (a) all Manuka Shares for the
benefit of Artemis, and (b) all Consideration Shares for the benefit of
Shareholders, with the foregoing being respectively released to the designated
beneficiary pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement and the Tax Ruling.
The Share Exchange Agreement contains customary representations and warranties
from each party to the agreement, and each party has agreed to customary
covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (x) the conduct of
each of Manuka's and Artemis' business during the period between the execution
of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Closing, and (y) no transfer of Manuka
Shares by the Shareholders during the period between the execution of the Share
Exchange Agreement and the Closing. The Share Exchange Agreement contains mutual
indemnification provisions. The First Amendment included registration rights for
the Company's shareholders, to be registered within 90 days from the Closing and
