Agreement and Plan of Merger

On January 26, 2021, Boston Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), BTHE Acquisition Inc., a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Nanomix, Inc., a California corporation (“Nanomix”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Nanomix, with Nanomix continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The merger closed on June 4, 2021.

Nanomix has developed an advanced mobile Point-of-Care (POC) diagnostic system that can be used in performing a wide range of in vitro diagnostic tests in many environments. Our goal is to provide laboratory quality testing for time sensitive medical conditions, at the first point of contact that a patient has with the healthcare system, no matter where that occurs. The Nanomix eLab® system is CE Marked, a 510(k) is currently in process, and Emergency Use Application (EUA) for COVID testing has been submitted to the FDA. Nanomix intends to market and sell this system for the detection and diagnosis of a variety of time sensitive medical conditions.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, as consideration for the Merger, Company issued to the shareholders of Nanomix 1,000,000 shares of a newly created Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”). Upon the effectiveness of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the reverse stock split of one-for-173, all such shares of Preferred Stock issued to Nanomix shareholders shall automatically convert into approximately 35,316,768 shares of common stock of the Company, the warrants to be assumed at closing may be exercisable into approximately 2,100,911 shares of common stock of the Company and the options and restricted stock units to be assumed at closing may be exercisable into approximately 6,070,842 shares of common stock of the Company. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock together with warrants, restricted stock units and options to be assumed on the closing date shall represent approximately 80% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company upon closing of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company and Nanomix, including covenants relating to obtaining the requisite approvals of the shareholders of the Company and Nanomix, indemnification of directors and officers and the Company’s and Nanomix’s conduct of their respective businesses between the date of signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the transaction.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement (and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby) has been included to provide investors and shareholders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or Nanomix. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only as of specified dates for the purposes of the Merger Agreement, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by such parties. In particular, in reviewing the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement and discussed in the foregoing description, it is important to bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants were negotiated with the principal purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Such representations, warranties and covenants may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors and shareholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, investors and shareholders should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances described therein. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the parties’ public disclosures.

The Closing of the merger effectuated a change in control of the Company. As a result of the Closing, the former shareholders own approximately 80.0% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis assuming full conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. The are no arrangements or understandings among members of both the former and new control groups and their associates with respect to election of officers or other matters, except as set forth herein.
