Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 23, 2023, Theralink Technologies, Inc. (OTC:THER), a Nevada corporation (“Theralink”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with IMAC Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Nasdaq: BACK) (“IMAC”), and IMAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of IMAC (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Theralink (the “Merger”), with Theralink continuing as the surviving entity (the “Surviving Entity”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of IMAC. On May 22, 2023, the board of directors of IMAC, and the board of directors of Theralink unanimously approved the Merger Agreement.

 

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock (“Theralink Common Stock”) and each share of preferred stock of Theralink (together with the Theralink Common Stock, “Theralink Shares”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and will thereafter represent the right to receive a portion of a share of common stock of IMAC, par value $0.001 (the “IMAC Shares”) such that the total number of IMAC Shares issued to the holders of Theralink Shares shall equal 85% of the total number of IMAC Shares outstanding as of the Effective Time (the “Merger Consideration”).

 

At the Effective Time, each award of stock options (each, a “Theralink Stock Option”), whether or not then vested or exercisable, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be assumed by IMAC and converted into a stock option relating to a number of IMAC Shares equal to the product of: (i) the number of shares of Theralink Common Stock subject to such Theralink Stock Option; and (ii) ratio which results from dividing one share of Theralink Common Stock by the portion of a IMAC Share issuable for such share as finally determined at the Effective Time (the “Exchange Ratio”), at an exercise price per IMAC Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of Theralink Common Stock of such Theralink Stock Option by (B) the Exchange Ratio.

 

Each of IMAC and Theralink has agreed, subject to certain exceptions with respect to unsolicited proposals, not to directly or indirectly solicit competing acquisition proposals or to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any unsolicited alternative acquisition proposals. However, if such party receives an unsolicited, bona fide acquisition proposal that did not result from a material breach of the non-solicitation provisions of the Merger Agreement and IMAC’s or Theralink’s board of directors, or any committee thereof, as applicable, concludes, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such unsolicited, bona fide acquisition proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a superior offer, such party may furnish non-public information regarding it or any of its subsidiaries and engage in discussions and negotiations with such third party in response to such unsolicited, bona fide acquisition proposal; provided that each party provides notice and furnishes any non-public information provided to the maker of the acquisition proposal to each party substantially concurrently with providing such non-public information to the maker of the acquisition proposal.

 

The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including: (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the outstanding Theralink Shares, (ii) approval of the issuance of IMAC Shares in connection with the Merger by a majority of the outstanding IMAC Shares, (iii) absence of any court order or regulatory injunction prohibiting completion of the Merger, (iv) expiration or termination of (a) all waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) and (b) any agreement with any governmental entity not to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (v) effectiveness of IMAC’s registration statement on Form S-4 to register the IMAC Shares to be issued in the Merger, (vi) subject to specified materiality standards, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (vii) the authorization for listing of IMAC Shares to be issued in the Merger on Nasdaq, (viii) compliance by the other party in all material respects with its covenants, and (ix) the completion of satisfactory due diligence by both parties.

 

IMAC and Theralink have each made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including covenants and agreements relating to (i) the conduct of each of IMAC’s and Theralink’s business between the date of the signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing date of the Merger and (ii) the efforts of the parties to cause the Merger to be completed, including actions which may be necessary to cause the expiration or termination of any waiting periods under the HSR Act.

 

 

 

 

The Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference. The foregoing summary has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about IMAC, Theralink or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of the parties to the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specified dates. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of IMAC, Theralink or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in IMAC’s or Theralink’s public disclosures.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On May 23, 2023, Theralink and IMAC issued a joint press release announcing the entry into the Merger Agreement. A copy of the joint press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this communication that address activities, events or developments that IMAC or Theralink expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “create,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “guidance,” “look,” “goal,” “future,” “build,” “focus,” “continue,” “strive,” “allow” or the negative of such terms or other variations thereof and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions, or events identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed Merger, the expected closing of the proposed Merger and the timing thereof and as adjusted descriptions of the post-transaction company and its operations, strategies and plans, integration, debt levels and leverage ratio, capital expenditures, cash flows and anticipated uses thereof, synergies, opportunities and anticipated future performance, including maintaining current Theralink management. Information adjusted for the proposed Merger should not be considered a forecast of future results. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this communication. These include the risk that cost savings, synergies and growth from the proposed Merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the possibility that shareholders of IMAC may not approve the issuance of new shares of IMAC common stock in the proposed Merger or that shareholders of IMAC may not approve the proposed Merger; the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed Merger may not be satisfied, that either party may terminate the Merger Agreement or that the closing of the proposed Merger might be delayed or not occur at all; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed Merger; the occurrence of any other event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement relating to the proposed Merger; the risk that changes in IMAC’s capital structure and governance could have adverse effects on the market value of its securities and its ability to access the capital markets; the ability of IMAC to retain its Nasdaq listing; the ability of Theralink to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on Theralink’s operating results and business generally; the risk the proposed Merger could distract management from ongoing business operations or cause IMAC and/or Theralink to incur substantial costs; the risk that Theralink may be unable to reduce expenses; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, any related economic downturn; the risk of changes in regulations effecting the healthcare industry; and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond IMAC’s or Theralink’s control, including those detailed in IMAC’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are available on IMAC’s website at www.ir.imacregeneration.com and on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at www.sec.gov, and those detailed in Theralink’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are available on Theralink’s website at www.theralink.com and on the website of the SEC. All forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that IMAC and Theralink believe to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and neither IMAC nor Theralink undertakes any obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
