Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Amendment to Arrangement Agreement
On December 10, 2024, Better Choice Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), announced that it has entered into an Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its previously announced Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with SRx Health Solutions, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“SRx”), 1000994476 Ontario Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“AcquireCo”), and 1000994085 Ontario Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“CallCo”). Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, and the Plan of Arrangement adopted in connection therewith, the Company will acquire SRx in an all-stock transaction pursuant to a statutory amalgamation of SRx and AcquireCo under Canadian law (the “Amalgamation”). As a result of the Amalgamation, all of the property, rights, interests and obligations of SRx shall become the property, rights, interests and obligations of the resulting entity (“Amalco”), and Amalco will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition, pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, immediately prior to the consummation of the Amalgamation the Company will spin-out 8% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company’s subsidiary, Halo, Purely For Pets, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Halo”), to the Company’s stockholders of records on such date, through a special purpose vehicle. Pursuant to the Amendment, the portion of Halo’s issued and outstanding capital stock subject to the spin-out will increase from 8% to 17%.
The transaction, including the terms of the Amendment, has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of the Company and SRx. The consummation of the Amalgamation is subject to customary closing conditions, including requisite approvals of the stockholders of the Company and SRx and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List), among other required regulatory approvals, and the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Company or SRx.
The Arrangement Agreement has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, SRx or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The Arrangement Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Company and SRx made solely for the benefit of the parties. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties in negotiating the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, including information in confidential disclosure letters delivered by each party in connection with the signing of the Arrangement Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Arrangement Agreement were made as of a specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the Company and SRx, rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Arrangement Agreement should not be relied on by any persons as characterizations of the actual state of facts about the Company or SRx at the time they were made or otherwise. In addition, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Arrangement Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s or SRx’s public disclosures.
The foregoing descriptions of the Arrangement Agreement and the Amendment are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Arrangement Agreement and the Amendment which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Forward-Looking Statements
This current report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. All statements in this current report that are not based on historical fact are “forward looking statements.” These statements may be identified by words such as “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “strategy,” “goal,” or “planned,” “seeks,” “may,” “might”, “will,” “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “should,” and similar expressions, or the negative versions thereof, and which also may be identified by their context. All statements that address operating performance or events or developments the Company expects or anticipates will occur in the future, such as stated objectives or goals, refinement of strategy, attempts to secure additional financing, exploring possible business alternatives, or that are not otherwise historical facts, are forward-looking statements. While management has based any forward-looking statements included in this current report on its current expectations, the information on which such expectations were based may change. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including risks associated with the Company’s ability to obtain additional capital in the future, the proposed transaction with SRx, general economic factors, competition in the industry and other factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Additional risks and uncertainties are described in or implied by the Risk Factors and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on April 12, 2024 and other reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company urges you to consider those risks and uncertainties in evaluating its forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, the Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein (or elsewhere) to reflect any change in its expectations with regard thereto, or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
