Material Changes and Agreements
- Stock Purchase Agreement Amendment: On November 30, 2006, eXegenics amended a Stock Purchase Agreement originally entered into on August 14, 2006, with a group of investors led by Phillip Frost, M.D. The amendment extends the outside date for consummation of the transaction to March 31, 2007 and consents to the assignment of certain purchase obligations.
- Ownership Structure: Upon issuance, the shares sold to the investors will constitute 51% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis.
- Stockholders Rights Plan Amendment: On December 4, 2006, the Company amended its Stockholders Rights Agreement. The amendment ensures that the purchasers under the Stock Purchase Agreement will not be deemed "Acquiring Persons" under the Rights Plan, preventing the transaction from triggering the rights plan's anti-takeover provisions.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Proxy Solicitation: The Company will file a proxy statement regarding the proposed sale and issuance of shares and the amendment of its certificate of incorporation. Security holders are urged to read this document for important information.
- Contingencies: The transaction is subject to the terms of the amended Purchase Agreement and the approval of stockholders via the proxy process.
- Leadership: John A. Paganelli is identified as the Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Executive Officer.
