4.16 Securities Representations.

 

(a) Purchase for Own Account. The shares of common stock of the Purchaser to be issued to Seller hereunder will be acquired for investment for Seller’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Seller has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

 

(b) Disclosure of Information.

 

(i) Seller has received or has had full access to all the information Seller considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Common Shares to be issued to Seller hereunder. Seller has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Purchaser regarding the Purchaser and the Common Shares, and all such questions, if any, have been satisfactorily answered as of the date of this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

(ii) Without limiting or reducing in any way Section 4.16(b)(i), above, the Seller acknowledges that it (A) is aware of, has received and had an opportunity to review (x) the Purchaser’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 20, 2025 (the “Annual Report”); and (y) Purchaser’s current reports on Form 8-K from January 1, 2025, to the date of this Agreement (which filings can be accessed by going to https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html, typing “Mangoceuticals” in the “Name, ticker symbol, or CIK” field, and clicking the “Search” button), in each case (x) through (z), including, but not limited to, the audited and unaudited financial statements, description of business, risk factors, results of operations, certain transactions and related business disclosures described therein (collectively the “Disclosure Documents”) and an independent investigation made by it of Purchaser; and (B) is not relying on any oral representation of Purchaser or any other person, nor any written representation or assurance from Purchaser; in connection with Seller’s acceptance of the Series C Preferred Shares and investment decision in connection therewith.

 

(c) Illiquid Securities. Seller realizes that the Common Shares cannot readily be sold as they will be restricted securities.

 

(d) Discussions with Advisors. Seller has carefully considered and has, to the extent it believes such discussion necessary, discussed with its professional, legal, tax and financial advisors, the suitability of an investment in the Common Shares for its particular tax and financial situation and its advisers, if such advisors were deemed necessary, have determined that the Common Shares are a suitable investment for it.

 

(e) No General Solicitation. Seller has not become aware of and has not been offered the Common Shares by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or other similar media or television or radio broadcast or any seminar or meeting where, to such Seller’s knowledge, those individuals that have attended have been invited by any such or similar means of general solicitation or advertising.

 

(f) No Registration Rights. Seller confirms and acknowledges that Purchaser is not under any obligation to register or seek an exemption under any federal and/or state securities acts for any sale or transfer of the Common Shares.

 

(g) Investment Experience. Seller understands that the acquisition of Common Shares involves substantial risk. Seller acknowledges that Seller can bear the economic risk of Seller’s investment in the Common Shares, and has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial or business matters such that Seller is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Common and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment. Seller hereby represents that it is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

(h) Restricted Shares. Seller understands that the Common Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from Purchaser in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder, such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, Seller represents that Seller is familiar with Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act and as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by other applicable provisions of the Securities Act.

 

 

 

 

(7) Legend. Seller acknowledges and understands that the certificates or book-entry statements evidencing the Common Shares will bear the legend set forth below:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

Except with respect to Seller’s representations and warranties under Sections 4.5 (Ownership and Encumbrances) and 4.16 (Securities Representations), which shall survive indefinitely, all of Seller’s and Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall terminate as of the last day of the twelfth (12th) month following the month in which the Effective Date occurs.

 

6.2 Indemnification.

 

(a) Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates, and each of their Subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against all damages, claims, liabilities, expenses and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising, directly or indirectly, from any material breach of this Agreement by Seller, including, without limitation, any material breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller.

 

(b) Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Subsidiaries, and each of their shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against all damages, claims, liabilities, expenses and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising, directly or indirectly, from any material breach of this Agreement by Purchaser, including, without limitation, any material breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser.

 

(c) A person or entity that intends to claim indemnification under this Article VI (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) of any claim, damage, liability, cause of action or cost with respect to which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, provided that the failure of the Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Article II unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnitor’s ability to defend such action. Indemnitor, after it determines that indemnification is required of it, shall assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the expenses to be paid by the Indemnitor if Indemnitor does not assume the defense.

The maximum liability of each Indemnitor under this Agreement for a breach of warranty under Article IV or Article V, as applicable, and/or for a claim of indemnification as set forth in this Article VI, in the aggregate shall be equal to the value of the Common Shares on the date of issuance, based on the closing sales price of the Purchaser’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the Closing Date (or if the Effective Date is not a trading day, the last trading day prior to the Effective Date).
