VOTING RIGHTS AGREEMENT  

 

THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), made as of the 12th day of June, 2013, is by and among AKERS BIOSCIENCES, INC., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey and located at 201 Grove Road, Thorofare, New Jersey 08086 USA (the “Company”), THOMAS J. KNOX, an individual residing at 50 South 16th Street, Suite 4604, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102 (“Knox” or the “Key Shareholder”) and CHUBEWORKX GUERNSEY LIMITED, a company incorporated in Guernsey with registration number 55801 with its registered office at 18-20 Le Pollet, St Peter Port, Guernsey, GY1 1WH, Channel Islands (the “Investor”). The Company, Knox and the Investor are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually referred to herein as a “Party.”

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor are parties to a Subscription Agreement of even date herewith (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell and the Investor has agreed to purchase 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Investor Shares”);

 

WHEREAS, the obligations of the Investor in the Subscription Agreement are conditioned upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Knox and the Company; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Investor to enter into the Subscription Agreement and invest funds in the Company pursuant thereto, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth their agreements and understandings with respect to how shares of the Company’s capital stock held by them will be voted and to set forth certain other agreements between the Parties.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1.          Agreement to Vote. The Key Shareholder and the Investor, as holders of Preferred Stock or Common Stock of the Company, each hereby agrees on behalf of itself and any transferee or assignee of any such shares of such Common Stock or Preferred Stock constituting a Related Party (as such term is defined below in this Section 1), to hold all of such shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock and any other securities of the Company acquired by the Key Shareholder or the Investor in the future, including without limitation any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company acquired by the Key Shareholder or the Investor pursuant to any stock option, warrant or any other instrument (and any securities of the Company issued with respect to, upon conversion of, or in exchange or substitution for such Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other securities) (the “Shares”) subject to, and to vote the Shares at a regular or special meeting of stockholders (or by written consent) in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Related Party” shall mean (a) any present or former known spouse, ancestor or descendant of the Key Shareholder or any trust or other similar entity for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons, (b) any person or entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Key Shareholder or the Investor or (c) any person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with, the Company. For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meaning, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management and policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

 

 
 

 

2.          Company Independence. The Key Shareholder and the Investor each separately undertake that they will take all necessary actions to ensure that the Company maintains independence with each of the Key Shareholder and its Related Parties (in the case of the Key Shareholder) and the Investor and its Related Parties (in the case of the Investor), in connection with all of the Company’s business operations and the AIM Rules (in particular AIM Rule 13).

 

3.          Board Size. The Key Shareholder shall vote at a regular or special meeting of stockholders (or by written consent) such Shares that the Key Shareholder owns (or as to which the Key Shareholder has voting power), and the Company and the Key Shareholder shall take all other actions necessary to ensure that at all times, (a) the size of the Board shall be a maximum of five (5) directors and (b) the Company’s organizational documents specify that each director has equal rights to each other director, including without limitation voting in favor of any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company that may be necessary under applicable law in order to legally and effectively implement all of the requirements under this Section 3. The Company and the Key Shareholder further agree to take any and all other actions that may be necessary under applicable law in order to implement the requirements of this Section 3, including without limitation calling any special meetings of the shareholders and/or Board of Directors and/or entering into written consents of the shareholders and/or Board of Directors as necessary in order to effectively implement the requirements of this Section 3. The Company and the Key Shareholder warrant and agree that the requirements set forth above in this Section 3 shall be implemented as soon as reasonably and practically possible following the Company’s next annual general shareholders’ meeting which is currently anticipated to be held in July 2013 (“AGM”), provided, however, that the requirements set forth above in this Section 3 shall be implemented by no later than thirty (30) calendar days following such AGM.

 

4.          Election and Removal of Directors. On all matters relating to the election of one or more directors of the Company, each of the Key Shareholder and the Investor shall vote at regular or special meetings of shareholders and give written consent with respect to, such number of Shares then owned by them (or as to which they then have voting power) as may be necessary to elect the following individuals to the Board:

 

(a)          at each election of directors in which the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Company (“Preferred Stock”), voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect directors of the Company, for so long as the Investor continues to hold shares of Common Stock of the Company entitling the Investor to ten percent (10%) or more of the voting rights with respect to the Company, the Key Shareholder shall vote all of its Shares comprised of Preferred Stock so as to elect one (1) individual designated by the Investor, subject only to approval of the designated individual by the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange plc (“AIM”);

 

2
 

 

(b)          at each election of directors in which the holders of Common Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect directors of the Company, for so long as the Investor continues to hold shares of Common Stock of the Company entitling the Investor to ten percent (10%) or more of the voting rights with respect to the Company, the Key Shareholder shall vote all of its Shares comprised of Common Stock so as to elect one (1) individual designated by the Investor, subject only to approval of the designated individual by AIM;

 

(c)          at each election of directors in which the holders of Common Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect directors of the Company, for so long as a Key Shareholder continues to hold shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock of the Company entitling such Key Shareholder to ten percent (10%) or more of the voting rights with respect to the Company, the Investor shall vote all of its Shares comprised of Common Stock so as to elect one (1) individual designated by such Key Shareholder, subject only to approval of the designated individual by AIM;

 

(d)          at each election of directors in which the holders of Common Stock and holders of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, are entitled to elect directors of the Company, for so long as the Investor continues to hold shares of Common Stock of the Company entitling the Investor to ten percent (10%) or more of the voting rights with respect to the Company, the Key Shareholder shall vote all of its Shares so as to elect one (1) individual designated by the Investor, subject only to approval of the designated individual by AIM; and

 

(e)          at each election of directors in which the holders of Common Stock and holders of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, are entitled to elect directors of the Company, for so long as a Key Shareholder continues to hold shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock of the Company entitling such Key Shareholder to ten percent (10%) or more of the voting rights with respect to the Company, the Investor shall vote all of its Shares comprised of Common Stock so as to elect one (1) individual designated by such Key Shareholder, subject only to approval of the designated individual by AIM.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, any individual, entity, or group or class of individuals and/or entities who has or have the right to designate a director for election to the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4 is hereinafter referred to as a “Designator” or as “Designators” or, when referring to one or more Designators, “Designator(s)” as applicable, and any such designee shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Designee.”

 

The Key Shareholder and the Investor both separately agree that they will each not exercise their voting rights with respect to any Shares held by them, and that they each shall use best efforts to ensure that any of their respective Related Parties will not exercise any of the voting rights of such Related Parties with respect to the Shares held by them, for the purposes of (i) calling any meeting of the shareholders of the Company at which the removal of any Designee of the Key Shareholder or the Investor as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company is to be voted upon, without the prior written consent of the Party whose Designee is the subject of removal from the Board of Directors, (ii) voting in favor of the removal of any Designee of the Key Shareholder or the Investor as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company at any meeting of the Shareholders of the Company at which the removal of any Designee of the Key Shareholder or the Investor as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company is to be voted upon, without the prior written consent of the Party whose Designee is the subject of removal from the Board of Directors, or (iii) otherwise approving any written consent of the shareholders of the Company seeking to remove any Designee of the Key Shareholder or the Investor as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, without the prior written consent of the Party whose Designee is the subject of removal from the Board of Directors.

 

3
 

 

The Parties further agree that within three (3) business days of the date of this Agreement, the Company and the Key Shareholder shall take any and all necessary actions to elect Gavin Moran as the Investor’s initial Designee on the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

5.            Changes in Designees. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, Designator(s) may, in their sole discretion:

 

(a)          elect to initiate a removal from the Company’s Board of Directors any incumbent Designee who occupies a Board seat for which such Designator(s) are entitled to designate the Designee under Section 4; and/or

 

(b)          designate a new Designee for election to a Board seat for which such Designator(s) are entitled to designate the Designee (whether to replace a prior Designee or to fill a vacancy in such Board seat);

 

provided such removal and/or designation of a Designee is approved in writing signed by the Designator or Designators entitled to designate such Designee under Section 4, in which case such election to remove Designee and/or elect a new Designee will be binding on the Key Shareholder or the Investor, as applicable. In the event of such an initiation of a removal or designation of a Designee under this Section 5, the Key Shareholder or the Investor, as the case may be, shall vote their respective Shares, as applicable, to cause: (i) the removal from the Company’s Board of Directors of the Designee or Designees so designated for removal; and (ii) the election to the Company’s Board Directors of any new Designee or Designees so designated for election to the Company’s Board of Directors by the appropriate Designator or Designators. The Company shall take such reasonable actions as are necessary to facilitate such removals or elections, including, without limitation, including the Designee in each slate of nominees proposed to the shareholders of the Company and recommending his or her election to the Board of Directors and soliciting the votes of the appropriate Key Shareholder and the Investor, and the Key Shareholder and the Investor shall vote all of their respective Shares entitled to vote at such meeting or in connection with such consent in favor of such removals or elections. Any vote taken to remove any Designee elected pursuant to Section 4, or to fill any vacancy created by the resignation, removal or death of a Designee elected pursuant to Section 4, shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 4 and this Section 5.

ANNOUNCEMENT

 

RNS Number : 9280G

Akers Biosciences, Inc.

13 June 2013

 

Akers Biosciences, Inc.

("ABI" or the "Company")

 

Extension of Licence and Supply Agreement

 

$1.6 million share subscription

 

Akers Biosciences, Inc (AIM: AKR), a leading designer and manufacturer of rapid diagnostic screening and testing products, is pleased to announce that it has extended its licence and supply agreement dated 19 June 2012 (the "Licence and Supply Agreement") with Chubeworkx Guernsey Limited ("Chubeworkx") to cover the United States, Canada and Mexico.

In 2012, ABI announced that it had negotiated a multi-year breathalyser agreement with Chubeworkx pursuant to which the Company granted Chubeworkx an exclusive licence to market and distribute private-labelled versions of ABI's disposable breath alcohol detectors, to be supplied by the Company, outside the United States of America, Canada and Mexico. Chubeworkx and its indirect subsidiary, en10 Global Limited ("en10") have since initiated an extensive marketing programme in France to support the launch of the NF-Marked version of CHUBE-branded breathalysers. As announced on 10 April 2013, Chubeworkx has already ordered 4.9 million breathalysers and, with a marketing exercise currently underway, the Company believes it will receive future orders. Whilst the majority of this marketing has been aimed at the French market, with all drivers on French roads, including foreign passport holders and drivers of foreign vehicles legally required to carry at least one un-used NF Approved disposable breathalyser kit, Chubeworkx, through en10, also has active sales and marketing initiatives in the UK, South Africa and Australia under the "BE CHUBE" alcohol awareness programme. The extension of the Licence and Supply Agreement will allow the marketing and distribution of the "BE CHUBE" programme to be expanded worldwide using the ABI breathalyser.

In addition, Chubeworkx has agreed to subscribe for 80,000,000 new common shares (the "Subscription Shares") in the Company for a total price of $1,600,000 (the "Subscription"). Chubeworkx' desire to acquire an equity stake in ABI furthers its commitment to the Company's commercial success within and beyond the disposable breathalyser business segment. Chubeworkx has well-established business relationships in Africa and Asia where there is potentially strong demand for ABI's infectious disease rapid assays.

Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, which is conditional upon admission of the Subscription Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"), Chubeworkx can, at any one time, nominate one individual to the Board of Directors of ABI, subject to the AIM Rules for Companies. The Subscription Shares will represent 28.7% of the Company's common stock immediately following Admission.

 

 
 

 

The Company also announces that it intends to change its by-laws to, inter alia, ensure that, at all times, the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors of the Company shall be required for any issuance by the Company of any new shares of capital stock of the Company or any instruments convertible into shares of capital stock of the Company. This change in the Company's by-laws is expected to be tabled as a resolution at the next general meeting of the Company. Chubeworkx, Thomas Knox, Ray Akers and Thomas A. Nicolette, who in aggregate will hold, post Admission, 53.2% of the voting rights in the Company, have each undertaken to vote in favour of the proposed changes to the Company's by-laws.

In addition to the Subscription, ABI and Chubeworkx have entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which ABI will sell its 20% interest in (en)10 Guernsey Limited to Chubeworkx for $100,000.

Application has been made for Admission, which is expected to occur at 8.00 am on 14 June 2013. On Admission, the Subscription Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing common shares in issue. Immediately following Admission, the Company will have 278,815,666 common shares in issue and 10,000,000 preferred shares ("Preferred Shares") in issue. The Preferred Shares each have five votes per share and the Company has no ordinary shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights is therefore 328,815,666. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Immediately following Admission, Chubeworkx will hold 28.7% of the Company's common stock and 24.3% of the voting rights in the Company.

 

Thomas A. Nicolette, President and Chief Executive Officer of ABI commented, "Our partnership with Chubeworkx is delivering measurable results to the Company's bottom line. Their extensive "BE CHUBE" promotional programme is helping to transform the way people from among the most at-risk populations view alcohol consumption and emphasise the importance of proactive testing with CHUBE breath alcohol detectors. We believe that our decision to expand CHUBE's reach into North America will facilitate a global presence and likely demand for ABI-manufactured private-label disposable breathalysers."

 

Gavin Moran, Chairman of Chubeworkx also noted, "Our partnership with ABI has provided us with a keen understanding of the capabilities of, and exciting potential for, ABI's proprietary platform technologies. This strategic view has led us to a significant investment in the Company and a direct commitment to its commercial success. We are excited about the immediate prospects for the global CHUBE change programme and, looking to the future, to the potential opportunities from leveraging our presence in Africa and Asia to distribute ABI's diagnostic products into new markets."
