Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

On April 21, 2021, Logiq, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s potential listing on the NEO Exchange in Canada and in order to comply with the corporate governance requirements of the NEO Exchange, amended and restated its 2020 Equity Incentive Plan to provide that stock options issued under the plan (i) may not be transferred and (ii) may not have an exercise price less than the fair market value (“FMV”) of such stock options as of the grant date. Pursuant to the A&R Plan (as defined below), FMV shall be determined as follows: (i) if the Company’s common stock is then listed or admitted to trading on a national stock exchange, the FMV shall be either (x) the five-day volume weighted average trading price, calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of securities traded on a national stock exchange for the relevant period, or (y) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on a national stock exchange on the previous trading day prior to the date of grant of the award; or (y) if the Company’s common stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on a national stock exchange, the FMV shall be a price determined by the administrator of the A&R Plan in good faith using any reasonable method of valuation. In addition, the Company amended and restated the form agreements for awards made pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “A&R Plan”) to reflect the foregoing changes.

 

The Company’s A&R Plan and amended form award agreements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 21, 2021. The A&R Plan remains subject to shareholder approval, which the Company shall undertake to obtain as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no even later than one year from the amendment date. In the event that the Company does not obtain the requisite shareholder approval of the A&R Plan within one year, the A&R Plan shall not be effective and the form agreements for awards made thereunder shall revert to their original form.

 

The foregoing summary of the A&R Plan and related amended form agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full texts of such documents, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”), which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

 

On April 21, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), in connection with the Company’s potential listing on the NEO Exchange in Canada and in order to comply with the corporate governance requirements of the NEO Exchange, approved and adopted a Majority Voting Policy for the election of directors (the “Policy”), which policy effectively alters the manner in which directors are elected under the Company’s Bylaws, and is therefore, subject to shareholder approval. The Company intends to submit a proposal to shareholders to approve the Policy and related changes to the Company’s Bylaws as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

Under the Policy, in an uncontested election, any director nominee who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” than votes “for” his or her election at a meeting of shareholders of the Company must promptly tender his or her resignation to the chairman of the Board. Following receipt of such resignation, the Governance Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) will consider the resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept such tendered resignation. Except in special circumstances, the Committee will be expected to accept and recommend acceptance of the resignation by the Board. A press release disclosing the Board’s determination (and the reasons for rejecting the resignation, if applicable) will be issued within 90 days following the date of the relevant meeting of shareholders and a copy of the press release will be sent concurrently to the NEO Exchange, provided that the Company’s common stock is then listed for trading on the NEO Exchange. The director’s resignation, if accepted, will become effective immediately upon acceptance thereof by the Board.

Any director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to the Policy will not participate in the recommendation of the Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to such resignation.

 

Subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law, where the Board accepts a resignation in accordance with the Policy, the Board may (i) leave the director vacancy unfilled until the next annual meeting of shareholders, (ii) fill the vacancy through the appointment of a new director, or (iii) call a special meeting of shareholders at which a new candidate will be presented to fill the vacant position.

 

The Policy applies only in circumstances involving an uncontested election of directors. For purposes of the Policy, an “uncontested election” of directors of the Company means an election held at any meeting of shareholders called for, either alone or with other matters, the election of directors, with respect to which the number of nominees for election is equal to the number of positions on the Board to be filled through the election to be conducted at such meeting.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Current Report, including statements regarding any potential listing on the NEO Exchange and the approval of the Policy and the adoption of amended Bylaws by the Company’s shareholders are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of the Company’s future performance and the future performance of the markets in which the Company operates are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report are only predictions. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that the Company believes may affect its financial condition, operating results, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The events and circumstances reflected in such forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, the Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all risks and uncertainties. Except as required by applicable law, the Company does not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
