Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. 

 

On July 25, 2018, TYG Solutions Corp., a Delaware corporation (“TYYG” or the “Company”), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Kannalife Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kannalife”) and certain stockholders of Kannalife (the “Kannalife Stockholders”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, TYYG acquired approximately 99.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Kannalife by means of a share exchange with the Kannalife Stockholders in exchange for 60,324,141 newly issued shares of the common stock of TYYG (the “Share Exchange”), which increased the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock to 69,854,141. As a result of the Share Exchange, Kannalife became a 99.7% owned subsidiary of TYYG, which on a going forward basis will result in consolidated financial reporting by TYYG to include the results of Kannalife. The initial closing of the Share Exchange occurred concurrently with entry into the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Initial Closing”). After the Initial Closing and for a period of no more than 120 days thereafter, unless extended in the sole discretion of TYYG, TYYG may issue, on the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Share Exchange Agreement, additional shares of the common stock of TYYG to Kannalife Stockholders that did not participate in the Initial Closing, provided that each additional Kannalife Stockholder becomes a party to the transaction documents (the “Additional Closing”).

 

As a condition of the Share Exchange, certain of the Kannalife Stockholders executed agreements which contained certain lock-up and leak-out restrictions on their ability to sell the shares of TYYG common stock acquired in the Share Exchange (the “Lock-up Agreement(s)”).

 

Certain non-management Kannalife Stockholders agreed to lock-up and leak out restrictions on TYYG securities they beneficially own as follows:

 

the Kannalife Stockholders may sell such securities at any time following the 2-year anniversary and prior to the 3-year anniversary of the Initial Closing, provided that (i) the average daily volume for the three months prior to the date that the Kannalife Stockholder desires to sell securities is equal to or greater than 250,000 shares per day, and (ii) the Kannalife Stockholder does not sell securities in an amount greater than 1.0% of the daily volume on any given trading day;  

 

the Kannalife Stockholders may sell such securities at any time following the 3-year anniversary and prior to the 4-year anniversary of the Initial Closing, provided that the Kannalife Stockholder does not sell securities in an amount greater than 2.5% of the daily volume on any given trading day; and  

 

contractual lock-up and leak-out restrictions for such Kannalife Stockholders expire on the fourth anniversary of the Initial Closing. 

 

A form of Kannalife Stockholder Lock-up Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Existing management of Kannalife that have become officers of TYYG (the “Management Stockholders”) in connection with the Share Exchange have certain lock-up and leak out restrictions on TYYG securities they beneficially own as follows:

 

the Management Stockholder may sell such securities at any time following the 1-year anniversary and prior to the 2-year anniversary of the Initial Closing, provided that said Management Stockholder does not sell such securities in an amount greater than 2.5% of the daily volume times a percentage equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate shares owned by the Management Stockholders as a group on any given trading day;  

 

the Management Stockholder may sell such securities at any time following the 2-year anniversary and prior to the 3-year anniversary of the Initial Closing provided the Management Stockholder does not sell securities in an amount greater than 5.0% of the daily volume times a percentage equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate shares owned by the Management Stockholders as a group on any given trading day; and 

 

contractual lock-up and leak-out restrictions for such Management Stockholders expire on the third anniversary of the Initial Closing. 

 

The Management Stockholders are also subject to certain trading volume and other affiliate selling limitations and insider trading blackout restrictions by virtue of their status as officers of TYYG. A form of Management Stockholder Lock-up Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.


Lastly, TYYG’s incoming Chief Executive Officer, Dean Petkanas, has certain specific restrictions to a block of 3,750,000 shares of TYYG common stock he beneficially owns (the “Petkanas Block”). All other shares beneficially owned by Mr. Petkanas are subject to the above lock-up and leak-out restrictions of the Management Stockholders. The following lock-up and leak out restrictions apply solely to the Petkanas Block:

 

after the Initial Closing and any time prior to the 1-year anniversary of the Initial Closing, Mr. Petkanas may sell the Petkanas Block securities in an amount no greater than the lesser of 1,000 shares per day or 2.5% of the daily volume on any given trading day; 

 

at any time following the 1-year anniversary and prior to the 2-year anniversary of the Initial Closing, Mr. Petkanas may sell the Petkanas Block securities in an amount no greater than the lesser of 2,000 shares per day or 2.5% of the daily volume on any given trading day; 

 

at any time following the 2-year anniversary and prior to the 3-year anniversary of the Initial Closing, Mr. Petkanas may sell the Petkanas Block securities in an amount no greater than the lesser of 3,000 shares per day or 2.5% of the daily volume on any given trading day; and 

 

contractual lock-up and leak-out restrictions on the Petkanas Block expire on the third anniversary of the Initial Closing. 

 

The Petkanas Block is also subject to certain trading volume and other affiliate selling limitations and insider trading blackout restrictions by virtue of Mr. Petkanas’ status as an officer and director of TYYG. A copy of said Petkanas Block Lock-up Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

After giving effect to the Lock-Up Agreements, approximately 54% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares are subject to lock-up. Of the 46% of common shares not subject to lock-up, approximately 94% of such shares are subject to certain trading volume and other affiliate selling limitations by virtue of the holders' status as affiliates of TYYG under Rule 144.

 

The Share Exchange Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties, including, but not limited to, representations by Kannalife related to its business, by the Kannalife Stockholders related to their right, title and interest in their shares of Kannalife and accredited investor status, and by TYYG related to its capitalization and its authority to enter into the agreement.

 

The 60,324,141 newly issued shares of TYYG common stock issued to the Kannalife Stockholders shall constitute approximately 86% of the number of shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of TYYG after giving effect to the Share Exchange. The shares of common stock of TYYG issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Closing will remain issued and outstanding. As a result of the Share Exchange, TYYG will acquire the business of Kannalife, which includes all assets owned by Kannalife. Kannalife is a pharmaceutical and phyto-medical company involved in the research and development of novel new cannabis-related therapeutic agents designed to reduce oxidative stress, and act as immuno-modulators and neuroprotectants.

 

The Share Exchange was approved by unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of TYYG (the “Board”).
