NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

Transaction Costs, minus (v) the amount by which the Target Working Capital Amount exceeds the Estimated Working Capital (if any), plus (vi) the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital Amount (if any) plus (vii) the Estimated Cash (the amount calculated pursuant to the foregoing subclauses (i) through (vii) of this Section 1.3(a) shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Closing Date Purchase Price”, and the Closing Date Purchase Price as adjusted as provided in Section 1.4 and Article V plus any Earn-Out Payments actually received by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.5 shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”).

the preparation of the Closing Statement and reasonably cooperate with the Seller and its accountants and agents in their review of the Closing Statement.

(d)The Seller shall deliver to the Buyer, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Closing Statement (the “Objection Deadline Date”), either (i) a notice indicating that the Seller accepts the Closing Statement or (ii) a statement describing in reasonable detail its objections to the Closing Statement and the Seller’s grounds for such objections (the “Objection Statement”).  If the Seller delivers to the Buyer a notice accepting the Closing Statement, or the Seller does not deliver an Objection Statement by the Objection Deadline Date, then, effective as of either the date of delivery of such notice or as of 12:01 am ET on the day immediately following the Objection Deadline Date, the Closing Statement and the Buyer’s calculations of the Actual Adjusted Working Capital, Actual Cash, Actual Indebtedness, Actual Company Transaction Costs and the Recalculated Closing Date Purchase Price set forth therein shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and the Final Adjusted Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness. Final Company Transaction Costs and the Final Closing Date Purchase Price, respectively.  If the Seller timely delivers an Objection Statement, such objections shall be resolved as follows:

(i)The Buyer and the Seller shall first use reasonable efforts to resolve such objections set forth in the Objection Statement.

(ii)If the Buyer and the Seller do not reach a resolution of all objections set forth in the Objection Statement within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such Objection Statement, the Buyer and the Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days following the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, engage the Accountant, pursuant to a reasonable form of engagement agreement executed by the Buyer, the Seller and the Accountant, to resolve any remaining objections set forth in the Objection Statement (the “Unresolved Objections”), in each case, in accordance with the terms set forth herein.

(iii)The Buyer and the Seller shall jointly submit to the Accountant, within ten (10) days after the date of the engagement of the Accountant (as evidenced by the date of the engagement agreement), a copy of the Closing Statement, a copy of the Objection Statement, and a statement setting forth the resolution of any objections agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller.  The Accountant will under the terms of its engagement have no more than thirty (30) days from the date of referral and no more than ten (10) Business Days from the final submission of information and testimony by the Buyer and the Seller within which to render its written decision with respect to the Unresolved Objections and the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement and/or any component thereof, whichever is in dispute.  The Accountant shall review such submissions and base its determination solely on such submissions. The Accountant shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on presentations and submissions by the Buyer and the Seller, and not by independent review, only those amounts still in dispute.  In resolving any disputed item, the Accountant may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either Party.  The Accountant’s final determination of the Closing Statement shall be deemed the Final Closing Statement and the Accountant’s final calculation of the Adjusted Working Capital as of immediately preceding the Closing, Cash of the Company as of immediately preceding the Closing, Indebtedness as of the Closing, Company Transaction Costs as of the Closing and

3

calculation of the Closing Date Purchase Price (using the Final Adjusted Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness and Final Company Transaction Costs instead of the Estimated Adjusted Working Capital, Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness and Estimated Company Transaction Costs) shall be deemed the Final Adjusted Working Capital, Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final Company Transaction Costs and Final Closing Date Purchase Price, respectively.  The fees and expenses of the Accountant with respect to the procedures described in this Section 1.4 shall be allocated between the Seller and Buyer in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining items of dispute submitted to the Accountant that are unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Accountant) bears to the total amount of the items of dispute submitted, and such allocation of fees and expenses shall be calculated by the Accountant and such calculation shall be final and binding on the Parties.  At any time, the Buyer and the Seller may agree to settle any objections raised in the Objections Statement, which agreement shall be in writing and, notwithstanding any other provision herein, shall be binding upon all of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of any such objection so resolved.

(iv)The resolution by the Accountant of the Unresolved Objections shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties and enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction.  The Buyer and the Seller agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 1.4 for resolving any Disputes with respect to the Actual Adjusted Working Capital and Actual Cash, shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such Disputes; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 1.4 shall not (i) in any way limit Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 5.1(a)(iii) with respect to Indebtedness and Company Transaction Costs or the Buyer’s ability to enforce its rights under Article V with respect to Indebtedness and Company Transaction Costs and the calculation of related Damages and (ii) prohibit either Party from instituting litigation or arbitration to enforce the ruling of the Accountant.

(e)[Reserved.]

(f)[Reserved.]

(g)If the Final Closing Date Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Date Purchase Price, then within five (5) days after the date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4, the Buyer shall pay to an account designated by the Seller the amount of such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(h)If the Final Closing Date Purchase Price is less than the Closing Date Purchase Price, (such deficiency being the “Downward Adjustment Amount”) then within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Final Closing Statement is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4, the Seller shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Downward Adjustment Amount to an account designated by the Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(i)If the Final Closing Date Purchase Price is equal to the Closing Date Purchase Price, then no amount shall be owing by the Seller or the Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.4.

1.5Earn-Out.

(a)No later than each of April 30, 2023, and April 30, 2024, the Buyer shall provide to the Seller a report (each, an “Earn-Out Report”) setting forth the Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Adjusted Revenue for the immediately preceding calendar year (each such calendar year, an “Earn-Out Period”).

(b)The Seller shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of each Earn-Out Report to object to any information set forth therein.  During such thirty (30) day period, the Buyer shall grant (and shall cause the Company to grant) the Seller and its Representatives reasonable access to the books, records and other documents relied upon or used in connection with the preparation of the applicable Earn-Out Report.  In the event that the Seller disputes any information or calculation set forth in an Earn-Out Report, the Seller shall deliver written notice (an “Earn-Out Objection Certificate”) to the Buyer prior to the expiration of the thirty (30) day period described above, which Earn-Out Objection Certificate shall set forth with reasonable specificity each item to which the Seller objects and the Seller’s determination of Adjusted Revenue for the applicable Earn-Out Period.  If the Seller does not deliver an Earn-Out Objection Certificate within such thirty (30) day period, the Buyer’s determination of Adjusted Revenue for the applicable Earn-Out Period (as set forth in the applicable Earn-Out Report) shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes.

(c)In event that an Earn-Out Objection Certificate is delivered, the Buyer and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith for a period of no less than ten (10) Business Days to resolve the dispute.  If, following such negotiation period, all items of dispute have not been resolved, either party may submit the matter to the Accountant and the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 1.4(d) shall be applied, mutatis mutandis.

(d)If the Adjusted Revenue for an Earn-Out Period is ninety percent or more of the Earn-Out Target for such Earn-Out Period, the Buyer shall pay to an account designated by the Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to (each an “Earn-Out Payment”) (i) if the Adjusted Revenue for such Earn-Out Period is equal to or greater than the applicable Earn-Out Target, $3,500,000 or (ii) if the Adjusted Revenue for such Earn-Out Period is at least equal to ninety percent (90%) of the Earn-Out Target but less than the Earn-Out Target, the product of (A) $3,500,000 multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Adjusted Revenue for such Earn-Out Period and the denominator of which is the applicable Earn-Out Target. Each Earn-Out Payment shall be paid to the Seller by the Buyer on or before ten (10) Business Days following such final determination. If the Adjusted Revenue for an Earn-Out Period is less than ninety percent (90%) of the applicable Earn-Out Target, then no Earn-Out Payment shall be owing to the Buyer with respect to such Earn-Out Period.

(e)In addition, and notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 5.4(b), the Buyer shall have the right to withhold and set off against any Earn-Out Payment by the amount of any Damages for Excepted Matters and breaches of Special Representations, in each case, to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under Article V of this Agreement (to the extent finally determined in accordance with Article V or mutually agreed upon by the Buyer and the Seller).  If an Earn-Out Payment is so withheld and set off, then

5

 

---

 

an amount equal to such Earn-Out Payment minus any amount so withheld and set off shall be paid to the Seller pursuant to Section 1.5(d).

(f)Notwithstanding anything in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, during the period beginning on the Closing and ending on the date upon which the Adjusted Revenue for calendar year 2023 is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5, the Buyer shall (and shall cause the Company to): (i) operate the Company and maintain the books and records of the Company in such a manner as to allow for the accurate calculation of the Adjusted Revenue for each Earn-Out Period, (ii) not make any change in method of accounting or accounting policy with respect to the Company for purposes of determining Adjusted Revenue except as required by GAAP or applicable Law, and (iii) operate the Company in a manner not intentionally designed for the purpose of avoiding or reducing any Earn-Out Payment.  Subject to the foregoing, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer, the Company and their respective Affiliates shall have the right to conduct the business thereof in any manner that they determine and neither Buyer, the Company nor any of their respective Affiliates owe any duty, fiduciary or otherwise, to the Seller or any other Person in respect of the Earn-Out Payments or any other matters subject to this Section 1.5.

(g)The Parties hereto understand and agree that (i) the contingent rights to receive any Earn-Out Payment shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, are not transferable, except by operation of Law and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in the Buyer or the Company, (ii) the Seller shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company as a result of the Seller’s contingent right to receive any Earn-Out Payment hereunder, and (iii) no interest is payable with respect to any Earn-Out Payment.

(h)Any payments pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

1.6Repaid Indebtedness; Company Transaction Costs.  It is contemplated by the Parties that, upon the Closing, the Indebtedness set forth on Schedule 1.6 (the “Repaid Debt”) will be repaid, and that such repayment will be funded with a portion of the Base Purchase Price.  In order to facilitate such repayment, no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Seller shall cause the Company to obtain payoff letters for the Repaid Debt, which payoff letters will be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, including wire instructions to which such amounts are to be paid and shall indicate that such lenders or persons have agreed to promptly release all Security Interests relating to the assets and properties of the Company upon receipt of the amounts indicated in such payoff letters.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, the Buyer shall make or cause to be made the payments referenced in such payoff letters on the Closing Date in order to discharge the Repaid Debt covered thereby pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(iii).  In addition, it is contemplated by the Parties that, upon the Closing, all of the Company Transaction Costs will be fully paid, and that such payment will be funded with a portion of the Base Purchase Price.  In order to facilitate such payment, no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer appropriate invoices for such Company Transaction Costs which shall include wire instructions to which such amounts are to be paid.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, the Buyer shall make payment of the Company Transaction Costs on the Closing Date in order to discharge such amounts in accordance with such invoices pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(iv).

(g)Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Parties hereby agree that Seller shall join in making (or causing there to be made) an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any such similar elections as may be available under applicable state or local Laws) with respect to the purchase by the Buyer of all of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement (such election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any such similar elections as may be available under applicable state or local Laws) the “338(h)(10) Election”).  Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other in the preparation and completion of IRS Form 8023, in the filing of such completed form before the filing due date, and in the timely completion and filing of all other forms required to effect the 338(h)(10) Election and to take all other steps necessary in order to effectuate the 338(h)(10) Election in accordance with applicable Laws.  Unless otherwise required by a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any analogous or similar provision of state or local Law (a “Final Determination”)), (i) each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, report, act and file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the 338(h)(10) Election, and (ii) no Party shall take any position that is inconsistent with the 338(h)(10) Election.  Within 90 days after the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.4, the Buyer shall provide the Seller with a proposed allocation of the “aggregate deemed sale price” (as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.338-4) among the tangible and intangible assets of the Company in accordance with Section 338 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder for the Seller’s review and comment (the “Allocation”).  If the Seller does

37

 

---

 

not provide any comments to the Buyer in writing within 30 days following delivery by the Buyer of the proposed Allocation, then the Allocation proposed by the Buyer shall be deemed to be final and binding, absent manifest error.  If, however, the Seller submits comments to the Buyer within such 30-day period, the Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any differences within 20 days (if any such allocation is finally agreed, the “Agreed Allocation”).  If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution within such 20-day period, then the matter shall be referred to the Accountant in a manner similar to Section 1.4(d)(iii), who shall be engaged to timely resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code.  The cost of the Accountant allocated between the Buyer and the Seller in the manner set forth in Section 1.4(d)(iii).  The allocation so determined shall be binding on the Parties.  Upon any subsequent adjustments to the sum of the Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional consideration for Tax purposes, the Buyer shall prepare an updated Allocation in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Allocation was prepared, which revised Allocation will be subject to the procedures set forth in this Section 4.1(g).  The Parties shall prepare all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation and shall take no position inconsistent with the Allocation (as updated pursuant to this Section 4.1(g)) before any Governmental Entity unless otherwise required by a Final Determination.

Buyer shall cooperate with or Seller, and take reasonable steps requested by Seller, to obtain any such Seller Tax Refund. For this purpose, a “Seller Tax Refund” is any refund of Tax attributable to Taxes paid by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date, or otherwise economically borne by the Seller with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period but excluding any Seller Tax Refund which (x) was included as an asset in the computation of the Purchase Price or (y) is attributable to the application of any Tax attribute from a Post-Closing Tax Period to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (e.g., as a carryback)). A Seller Tax Refund will be deemed to be realized in a taxable year if, and to the extent that the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates receives a refund or other return of Taxes paid. The Buyer and the Seller will equitably apportion any Seller Tax Refunds (including any interest received thereon) received or realized with respect to Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Company for a Straddle Period in a manner consistent with the principles set forth in Section 4.1(d) for the applicable Tax associated with such Tax refund. If there is a subsequent reduction by a Governmental Entity (or by virtue of a change in applicable Tax Law) of any amounts with respect to which a payment has been made to the Seller pursuant to this Section 4.1(h), then the Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such reduction plus any interest or penalties imposed by a Governmental Entity with respect to such reduction.

(i)The Buyer agrees that it will not permit the Company to take any actions outside of the ordinary course of business (other than those contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents) on the Closing Date after the Closing, to the extent that doing so would

(c)After the Closing, except as provided in Section 1.4 or with respect to Fraud, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article V shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Indemnified Parties with respect the Transaction Documents (other than the Commercial Agreement and the TSA) and the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however that nothing herein is intended to, or shall, limit the availability of equitable relief (including injunctive relief or specific performance) that is not in the nature of a monetary award pursuant to Section 8.13.

[***].

(b)It is the intention of the Parties hereto that all rights to any attorney-client privilege applicable to communications between any legal counsel currently representing the Company in connection with the Current Representation (whether or not such legal counsel also represented the Seller) shall be retained solely by the Seller (and not the Company); provided, that

60

the foregoing waiver and acknowledgement of retention shall not extend to any communication not involving this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  Accordingly, from and after Closing, the Company shall not have access to the files of any legal counsel currently representing the Company (whether or not such legal counsel also represented the Seller) in connection with the Current Representation and shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to access any such communications.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) the Seller and its Subsidiaries shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Current Representation, and the Company shall not be the holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of any legal counsel currently representing the Company in connection with the Current Representation (whether or not such legal counsel also represented the Seller) constitute property of a client, only the Seller and its Subsidiaries shall hold such property rights; and (iii) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts not access (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts not permit any other Person to access) any communications from any legal counsel with respect to the Current Representation that may be in the possession of the Company after the Closing.

(c)The Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company), that in the event of a dispute between the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to any matter in which any legal counsel currently representing the Company in connection with the Current Representation jointly represented both the Seller and the Company, neither the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence, nor any right to any other Privilege will protect against or prevent disclosure by any legal counsel currently representing the Company in connection with the Current Representation to the Seller or any of its Affiliates of any information or documents developed or shared during the course of any such joint representation.

(d)In the event that any third party shall seek to obtain from the Buyer or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company) attorney-client communications involving any legal counsel currently representing the Company in connection with the Current Representation, then the Buyer shall notify the Seller of such application sufficiently in advance of any hearing on the application to permit the Seller to participate in any such proceedings.

TherapeuticsMD Announces Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

 

- Reached definitive agreement to fully divest vitaCare business unit enabling greater focus on achieving leadership position in women’s healthcare -

- Amended credit terms with Sixth Street in support of a new capitalization plan -

- Conference call scheduled for 8:30 a.m. ET today -

 

BOCA RATON, Fla. – March 10, 2022 – TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (“TXMD” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TXMD), an innovative, leading women’s healthcare company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021.

 

“We spent the past three months executing on four key priorities set forth last quarter, and today we announced that we have accomplished two of them. With the definitive agreement to fully divest our vitaCare business unit, TXMD will emerge as a more focused company aimed at empowering women of all ages through better and affordable healthcare. Amending our credit terms is, in our view, the most prudent way to achieve the necessary financial flexibility to complete the announced sale of vitaCare and ultimately refinance our existing credit facility,” said Hugh O’Dowd, CEO of TherapeuticsMD.

 

“Demand for our flagship product, ANNOVERA®, continues to grow. We are working to ensure ample supply and drive towards uninterrupted access to this important contraceptive. We are excited about our future, and believe we are on a pathway towards serving women as they navigate their healthcare needs,” concluded O’Dowd.
