Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 16, 2025, ProPhase Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with JL Projects, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“JL Projects”), pursuant to which JL Projects purchased from the Company all of the right, title, and interest in and to all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Pharmaloz Manufacturing, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“PMI”), and Pharmaloz Real Estate Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“PREH”). The transaction closed concurrently with the execution of the Agreement on January 16, 2025.
PMI is in the business of developing, manufacturing, packaging, and warehousing of non-prescription drug and dietary supplement products, including organic and natural cough drops and lozenges, at a facility located at 500 North 15th Avenue, Lebanon, Pennsylvania 17046 (the “Facility”). PREH owned the Facility prior to the consummation of the sale contemplated by the Agreement.
As part of the transaction, JL Projects provided approximately $2 million in cash payments to the Company and extinguished approximately $10 million of the Company’s debt. Additionally, JL Projects assumed (i) the existing $3.3 million mortgage on PMI's manufacturing facility, (ii) nearly $2 million in capital leases, and (iii) approximately $3 million in current and accrued payables, and paid down $200,000 on an existing loan from affiliates of JL Projects. The transaction also resulted in the cancellation of approximately $300,000 in accrued interest related to the retired debt. Furthermore, the Company avoided approximately $3 million of upcoming capital expenditures that JL Projects will now be responsible for. The transaction also transferred over $600,000 in employee annual overhead from the Company to PMI.
The Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company and JL Projects.
