AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. (“AgeX”; NYSE American: AGE), a
biotechnology company developing therapeutics for human aging and
regeneration, reported that on July 21, 2023, AgeX and Juvenescence
Limited entered into an Exchange Agreement pursuant to which AgeX
agreed to issue to Juvenescence 211,600 shares of a newly
authorized Series A Preferred Stock and 148,400 shares of a newly
authorized Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for the
cancellation of a total of $36 Million of indebtedness consisting
of the outstanding principal amount of certain loans made by
Juvenescence to AgeX and loan origination fees accrued with respect
to those loans.
The exchange of the indebtedness for shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (collectively referred
to as the “Preferred Stock”) will be implemented for the purpose of
bringing AgeX common stock back into compliance with the continued
listing requirements of the NYSE American that require AgeX to have
at least $6 Million of stockholders equity; however the continued
listing remains dependent upon a determination by the NYSE American
that AgeX has regained compliance with their listing standards. The
exchange of $36 Million of indebtedness for the Preferred Stock
would, on a proforma basis as of March 31, 2023, increase AgeX’s
stockholders equity to approximately $16 Million from a deficit of
approximately $20 Million. Actual stockholders equity will be
reduced by losses recognized by AgeX subsequent to March 31, 2023
which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts but if the
exchange of indebtedness for Preferred Stock were to be consummated
on the date of this press release, AgeX’s stockholder equity would
exceed the $6 Million amount necessary to meet NYSE American
continued listing requirements. The consummation of the exchange of
indebtedness for Preferred Stock is expected to occur on or around
July 25, 2023 subject to (a) the NYSE American approving a
supplemental application to list the common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock into common stock, and (b) the
filing of a Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred
Stock and a Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred
Stock with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
The Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive any payment or
distribution of cash or other dividends. In the event of any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding
up of the affairs of AgeX, subject to the preferences and other
rights of any senior stock, before any assets of AgeX shall be
distributed to holders of common stock or other junior stock, all
of the assets of AgeX available for distribution to stockholders
shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock until AgeX shall have distributed to
the holders of those shares an amount of assets having a value
equal to the subscription price per share.
Each share of Preferred Stock will be convertible into a number
of shares of AgeX common stock determined by dividing (x) a number
equal to the number of dollars and cents comprising the
subscription price, by (y) a number equal to the number of dollars
and cents comprising the conversion price. The subscription price
per share of Preferred Stock is $100 which was paid through the
exchange of indebtedness for shares of Preferred Stock. The
conversion price per share of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B
Preferred Stock is $0.72 which was the closing price of AgeX common
stock on the NYSE American on the last trading day immediately
preceding the execution of the Exchange Agreement.
If under the rules of the NYSE American or any other national
securities exchange on which AgeX common stock may be listed,
approval by AgeX stockholders would be required in connection with
the issuance of common stock in excess of the “19.9% Cap” upon any
conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, then unless and until such
stockholder approval has been obtained, the maximum number of
shares of common stock that may be issued upon conversion of all
shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be an amount equal to the
19.9% Cap. The 19.9% Cap means 7,550,302 shares of common
stock.
If under the rules of the NYSE American or any other national
securities exchange on which AgeX common stock may be listed,
approval by AgeX stockholders would be required in connection with
the issuance of common stock in excess of the 50% Cap upon any
conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, then unless and until such
stockholder approval has been obtained, the maximum number of
shares of common stock that may be issued to a holder of Series B
Preferred Stock upon conversion of such shares shall be an amount
that, when added to other shares of common stock owned by such
holder immediately prior to such conversion would equal one share
less than the 50% Cap.
The Preferred Stock has limited voting rights. The following
matters will require the approval of the holders of a majority of
the shares of a series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting
as a separate class: (i) creation of any Preferred Stock ranking as
senior stock to the series with respect to liquidation preferences;
(ii) repurchase of any shares of common stock or other junior stock
except shares issued pursuant to or in connection with a
compensation or incentive plan or agreement approved by the Board
of Directors for any officers, directors, employees or consultants
of AgeX; (iii) any sale, conveyance, or other disposition of all or
substantially all AgeX’s property or business, or any liquidation
or dissolution of AgeX, or a merger into or consolidation with any
other corporation (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary
corporation) but only to the extent that the Delaware General
Corporation Law requires that such transaction be approved by each
class or series of Preferred Stock; (iv) any adverse change in the
powers, preferences and rights of, and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions on, the series of Preferred Stock; or
(v) any amendment of AgeX’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws
that results in any adverse change in the powers, preferences and
rights of, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions on,
the series of Preferred Stock. Except as may otherwise be required
by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Preferred Stock will
have no other voting rights.
