Pursuant to the Myrtle SEA, upon closing, RHI will exchange with the Company 100 shares of Common Stock of Myrtle (which represents 98.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Myrtle Common Stock) for total consideration of $500,000 (the “Myrtle Purchase Price”), which payment will be made by the issuance of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company determined by dividing $500,000 by the volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) on the day immediately prior to the closing date (the “Price”) but in no event will the number of shares be more than 19.99% of the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the trading day prior to the closing date. If the number of FOXO Shares to be issued to RHI multiplied by the Price is less than $500,000, the Company will pay the deficit in cash within 12 months from the closing date. If the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) indicated in the audited financial statements of Myrtle varies by more than 10% from the Myrtle Financial Statements (as defined in the Myrtle SEA), the Myrtle Purchase Price will automatically increase or decrease on a dollar for dollar basis and, if increased, the difference will be paid in additional shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company or cash or, if decreased, the difference will result in either cancellation of Class A Common Stock of the Company or return of cash paid.

 

Closing of the Myrtle SEA is subject to deliverables referenced in the Myrtle SEA. A copy of the Myrtle SEA is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01 of Current Report on Form 8-K.

If the EBITDA indicated in the audited financial statements of RCHI varies by more than 10% from the RCHI Financial Statements (as defined in the RCHI SEA), the RCHI Purchase Price will automatically increase or decrease on a dollar for dollar basis and, if increased, the difference will be paid in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or, if decreased, the difference will result in cancellation of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event that the Company enters into agreement or settlement agreement with any pre-existing holder of debt or other liability owed by the Company after the signing of the RCHI SEA in excess of $5,000,000 (cumulative) then RHI will receive an equal value in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock to any settlement of debt in any form in excess of $5,000,000.

 

Closing of the RCHI SEA is subject to shareholder approval of the Company and deliverables referenced in the RCHI SEA. A copy of the RCHI SEA is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01 of Current Report on Form 8-K.

Each of FOXO, Myrtle and RHI is referred to herein individually as a “Party,” or collectively as the “Parties.”

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, Rennova owns 100 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Myrtle Common Stock”), of Myrtle, which represents 98.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Myrtle Common Stock;

 

WHEREAS, FOXO desires to acquire all of Rennova’s equity interests in Myrtle and Rennova desires to sell to FOXO all of Rennova’s equity interests in Myrtle in an acquisition transaction through the exchange of all of the equity interests of Myrtle owned by Rennova for shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “FOXO Common Stock”), of FOXO pursuant to the terms hereinafter set forth (the “Exchange”); and

 

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of FOXO and Rennova have approved this Agreement and declared advisable the Exchange upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with corporate laws of the State of Delaware applicable to for-profit corporations (the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”)).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.
ADOPTION OF AGREEMENT

 

1.1 The Exchange. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined in Section 3.1 herein), in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, the Parties shall consummate the Exchange. Upon completion of the Exchange, Myrtle will become a subsidiary of FOXO.

 

ARTICLE II.
EXCHANGE OF SHARES

 

2.1 Transfer of Outstanding Myrtle Shares to FOXO. On the Closing Date, Rennova shall transfer to FOXO all of its equity interests of Myrtle (the “Myrtle Shares”), and Myrtle shall cause the Myrtle Shares to be issued in the name of FOXO.

 

2.2 Purchase Price of Myrtle Shares. In consideration for the transfer of the Myrtle Shares pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, FOXO shall on the Closing Date and contemporaneously with such transfer of the Myrtle Shares to it by Rennova, pay Rennova $500,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which payment shall be made: (a) by the issuance of a number of shares of FOXO Common Stock (the “FOXO Shares”) determined by dividing $500,000 by the volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Price”), but in no event shall such number of shares be more than 19.99% of the number of outstanding shares of FOXO Common Stock on the trading day prior to the Closing Date; (b) if the number of FOXO Shares to be issued to Rennova pursuant to clause (a) above multiplied by the Price is less than $500,000, FOXO shall pay such deficit in cash within twelve (12) months from the Closing Date; and (c) if the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) indicated in the audited financial statements of Myrtle varies by more than 10% from the Myrtle Financial Statements (as defined below), attached as Exhibit A, the Purchase Price shall automatically increase or decrease on a dollar for dollar basis and, if increased, the difference shall be paid in additional shares of FOXO Common Stock or cash or, if decreased, the difference shall result in either cancellation of FOXO Common Stock or return of cash paid. For the avoidance of doubt, a $25,000 change in the EBITDA number will result in a $25,000 adjustment in the consideration price payable. This adjustment could be an increase or decrease in the Purchase Price.

 

 

2.3 Restricted Stock. The FOXO Shares to be issued pursuant to the Exchange shall not have been registered and shall be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws, and under such laws such shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), only in certain limited circumstances.

WHEREAS, FOXO and Rennova each intend, for federal income tax purposes, that the Exchange contemplated hereby constitute a reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and

 

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of FOXO and Rennova have approved this Agreement and declared advisable the Exchange upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with corporate laws of the State of Delaware applicable to for-profit corporations (the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”)).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.
ADOPTION OF AGREEMENT

 

1.1       The Exchange. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined in Section 3.1 herein), in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, the Parties shall consummate the Exchange. Upon completion of the Exchange, RCHI will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of FOXO.

 

 

ARTICLE II.
EXCHANGE OF SHARES

 

2.1 Transfer of Outstanding RCHI Shares to FOXO. On the Closing Date, Rennova shall transfer to FOXO all of its equity interests of RCHI (the “RCHI Shares”), and RCHI shall cause the RCHI Shares to be issued in the name of FOXO.

 

2.2 Purchase Price of RCHI Shares. In consideration for the transfer of the RCHI Shares pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, FOXO shall on the Closing Date (as defined below) and contemporaneously with such transfer of the RCHI Shares to it by Rennova, issue to Rennova 20,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for total consideration of $20,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). a) If the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) indicated in the audited financial statements of RCHI varies by more than 10% from the RCHI Financial Statements (as defined below), attached as Exhibit A, the Purchase Price shall automatically increase or decrease on a dollar for dollar basis and, if increased, the difference shall be paid in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or, if decreased, the difference shall result in cancellation of Series A Preferred Stock.

FOXO Technologies Enters into Share Exchange Agreements to Acquire Healthcare Operations from Rennova Health, Inc.

 

Acquisition expected to be synergistic with FOXO’s epigenetic technology in community health and addiction recovery settings as well as contribute significant cash flow

 

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, June 14, 2024 —FOXO Technologies Inc. (NYSE American: FOXO) (the “Company” or “FOXO”), today announced it has entered into two share exchange agreements with Rennova Health, Inc., an OTC listed company (“Rennova”) (OTC: RNVA). In the first agreement, equity in Myrtle Recovery Centers, Inc., Rennova’s behavioral health services subsidiary, will be exchanged for $500,000 of common stock in FOXO, subject to adjustments. In the second agreement, equity in Rennova Community Health, Inc., which owns and manages Scott County Community Hospital, Inc. (d/b/a Big South Fork Medical Center), a critical access hospital, will be exchanged for $20 million of convertible preferred stock to be designated. Closing of the transactions are subject to certain closing conditions including but not limited to shareholder approval for the acquisition of Rennova Community Health, Inc., Scott County Community Hospital, Inc. and Myrtle Recovery Centers, Inc., generated unaudited net revenue of approximately $18.7 million and net income of approximately $5.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

 

Myrtle Recovery Centers, Inc. is a 30-bed behavioral health facility in East Tennessee with plans to duplicate the model in different locations. It provides inpatient services for detox and residential treatment and outpatient services for medication medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) programs.

The integration of these entities is designed to accelerate the growth of both companies while enabling FOXO Technologies to leverage its cutting-edge epigenetic technology in community health and addiction recovery settings, driving improved patient outcomes and expanding its market reach.

 

Mark White, Interim CEO of FOXO Technologies, “This acquisition represents a transformative step for FOXO Technologies. Myrtle Recovery Centers and Scott County Community Hospital are established businesses with opportunities for continued growth. Moreover, these transactions bring meaningful cash flow to FOXO. Our plan is to considerably grow these revenues over the next couple of years, including from the rights we secured to expand these businesses into another East Tennessee property owned by Rennova. Furthermore, Rennova’s history in diagnostic testing, coupled with its expertise in healthcare IT and software, creates additional opportunities for FOXO to expand and deliver our current technologies to the marketplace. We believe these transactions represent a key inflection point for FOXO by combining our innovative epigenetic and AI-based epigenetic solutions, such as the VITHAR™ AI Health Coach, with their robust healthcare services to bring an unprecedented level of care to patients. We look forward to providing further updates as we advance these important transactions.”

 

“We are delighted to enter into these transactions with FOXO,” said Seamus Lagan, the Chief Executive Officer of Rennova Health Inc. “The two agreements have the potential to drive significant value and synergies for both our respective companies. In particular, we believe this transaction will enable us to rapidly expand our core business. In addition, by combining our established healthcare operations with FOXO’s expertise in AI and epigenetics, we foresee a powerful synergy that will enhance our service offerings and broaden our impact in the healthcare sector. This partnership is not only a strategic alignment for growth but also a major step forward in our mission to provide top-tier healthcare services and improve patient outcomes.”

Any statements other than statements of historical fact contained herein, including statements about the delisting of the Warrants from NYSE American, trading of the Warrants in the over-the-counter market, the continued listing of the Company’s Class A common stock on NYSE American, and other statements identified by words such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “outlook” or words of similar meaning, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Any such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the Company’s control. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to the possibility that the Plan will not be accepted by NYSE American, the Company will be unable to satisfy other continued listing requirements of NYSE American for its Class A common stock to maintain the listing of the Class A common stock on NYSE American; the risk of changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which FOXO operates; variations in operating performance across competitors or changes in laws and regulations affecting FOXO’s business; the ability to implement FOXO’s business plans, forecasts, and other expectations; the ability to obtain financing; the risk that FOXO has a history of losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future; potential inability of FOXO to establish or maintain relationships required to advance its goals or to achieve its commercialization and development plans; the enforceability of FOXO’s intellectual property, including its patents and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others; and the risk of downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive biotechnology industry or in the markets or industries in which FOXO operates, including the highly regulated insurance industry. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Readers should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in FOXO’s most recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, particularly the “Risk Factors” sections of those reports, and in other documents FOXO has filed, or will file, with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and FOXO assumes no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
