Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Settlement Agreement and Stipulation with Tarpon Bay Partners
On September 9, 2014, the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit for Leon County, Florida (the “Court”), entered an Order Granting Approval of Settlement Agreement and Stipulation (the “Order”) approving, among other things, the fairness of the terms and conditions of an exchange pursuant to the Securities Act, in accordance with a Settlement Agreement and Stipulation (the “Settlement Agreement”) between Propanc Health Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Tarpon Bay Partners, LLC (“Tarpon”), in the matter entitled Tarpon Bay Partners, LLC v. Propanc Health Group Corp., Case No. 2014-CA-1804 (the “Action”). Tarpon commenced the Action against the Company on July 18 to recover an aggregate of $627,997.94 of past-due accounts payable of the Company (the “Claim”), which Tarpon had purchased from certain vendors of the Company pursuant to the terms of separate claim purchase agreements between Tarpon and each of such vendors (the “Assigned Accounts”). The Order provides for the full and final settlement of the Claim and the Action. The Settlement Agreement was entered into on July 18, 2014 and became effective and binding upon the Company and Tarpon upon execution of the Order by the Court on September 9, 2014.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement approved by the Order, on September 9, 2014, the Company agreed to issue to Tarpon shares (the “Settlement Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Settlement Agreement provides that the Settlement Shares will be issued in one or more tranches, as necessary, sufficient to satisfy the Settlement Amount through the issuance of freely trading securities issued pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company and Tarpon reasonably estimated that the fair market value of the Settlement Shares and all other amounts received or to be received by Tarpon is equal to approximately $1,033,000.00. In addition, upon execution of the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued to Tarpon shares of Common Stock with a value equal to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Fee Shares”). The Fee Shares were issued pursuant to exemption provided for in Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act and were priced at seventy five percent (75%) of the average of the closing bid prices for the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Order.
The Settlement Agreement provides that in no event shall the Settlement Shares beneficially owned by Tarpon at any given time exceed the number of such shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of Company then beneficially owned by Tarpon, or deemed beneficially owned by Tarpon, would result in Tarpon owning more than 9.99% of all of such Common Stock as would be outstanding on such date, as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Furthermore, the Settlement Agreement provides that, for so long as Tarpon or any of its affiliates hold any shares of Common Stock, the Company and its affiliates are prohibited from, without prior written consent of Tarpon (which may not be unreasonably withheld), among other actions, voting any shares of Common Stock owned or controlled by the Company or its affiliates, or soliciting any proxies or seeking to advise or influence any person with respect to any voting securities of the Company, in favor of: (1) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (2) causing a class of equity securities of Company to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act, or (3) taking any action which would impede the purposes and objects of the Settlement Agreement. These prohibitions may not be modified or waived without further order of the Court.
