On February 12, 2010, Pharmaceutical Financial Syndicate, LLC (“PFS”), whose members include Dr. Joel E. Bernstein, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Robert A. Yolles and Neal S. Penneys, directors of Winston Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), executed a letter of intent (“LOI”) with Frost Gamma Investments Trust, Subbarao Uppaluri, a director of the Company, Steven D. Rubin and Jane Hsiao (collectively, the “Frost Group”), to acquire 100% of the Company’s capital stock (the “Acquisition”) beneficially owned by all of the members of the Frost Group consisting of an aggregate of 18,399,271 outstanding shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,958,975 shares of common stock (collectively, the “Acquired Securities”). | |
|
|
As provided in the LOI, consummation of the Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including the parties entering into a definitive acquisition agreement. The LOI also provides that simultaneous with the completion of the Acquisition, three of the Company’s directors, namely Subbarao Uppaluri, Glenn Halpryn and Curtis Lockshin, shall resign as directors of the Company, and each of Messrs. Uppaluri, Halpryn and Lockshin have advised the Company that they have consented to resign upon completion of the Acquisition. Upon completion of the Acquisition, as the manager of PFS, Dr. Bernstein would be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all of the Acquired Securities, however Dr. Bernstein intends to disclaim beneficial ownership of those Acquired Securities in which he does not have a pecuniary interest through PFS. |
