PLAN AND AGREEMENT OF REORGANIZATION

 

THIS PLAN AND AGREEMENT OF REORGANIZATION, made this _____ day of April, 2018 by and among:

 

MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATES, LLC, a Florida limited liability company with its principal offices located at c/o Kleinfeld Legal Advisors PA, 801 NE 167th Street, Suite 306, N. Miami Beach, Florida 33162 (hereinafter “MBA”)

 

AND

 

BIOTECH PRODUCTS SERVICES AND RESEARCH, INC., a Nevada corporation with its principal offices located at 515 North Shore Drive, Miami Beach, Florida 33141 (hereinafter “Biotech”) and the undersigned individuals comprising directors, officers, management and shareholders of Biotech (hereinafter specifically named or referred to as “Shareholders”)

 

WITNESSETH THAT:

 

WHEREAS, Biotech, a publicly-trading company filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (although currently delinquent), is primarily engaged in the business of developing stem cell products and marketing, selling, and distributing such products;

 

WHEREAS, Biotech lacks the financial resources to carry out its business plan and as currently structured has been unable to, and is unlikely to, attract the necessary capital;

 

WHEREAS, MBA was organized to provide business management advice, guidance, and management services and has proven management with the experience and background likely to attract capital for its enterprises;

 

WHEREAS, Biotech has approached MBA with a view to securing MBA’s management services to reorganize itself and to restructure itself to attract the necessary capital;

 

WHEREAS, Biotech and MBA have negotiated, have reached certain understandings, and desire a written Plan and Agreement of Reorganization to formalize and evidence their understandings;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties have agreed, and do hereby agree, as follows:

 

1. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Plan and Agreement of Reorganization, intended to be a tax exempt structural reorganization under IRC Section 368(a)(1)(E), assuming compliance with the conditions precedent in Paragraph 2 following, at and effective as of the Closing, Biotech shall sell and issue to MBA that number of shares of its Common Stock equal to fifty-one percent (51%) of the total number of shares to be issued and outstanding on a fully-diluted basis including such new issuance; i.e., all previously issued and outstanding shares as of the calculation shall equal forty-nine percent (49%). In the event that post-Closing it is determined that the number of Shares calculated and unissued was insufficient, on a fully diluted basis, to equal 51%, additional shares shall be issued to cover the shortfall.

 

(b) The issuance price for such Shares shall be the par value thereof; i.e., $.001. To pay such par value on the issuance of the Shares, Biotech shall transfer sufficient funds from capital surplus (additional paid-in capital). When issued, the shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Biotech represents and warrants that as of the Closing such Shares shall represent fifty-one percent (51%) of the issued and outstanding shares (“Shares”) of Biotech’s common stock calculated on a fully-diluted basis, with no shares of Biotech’s Series A or Series B preferred stock being issued and outstanding, and that such Shares shall represent control of Biotech.

 

   
 

 

(c) The Shares which MBA shall purchase are being acquired for investment purposes, solely for MBA’s own account and not on behalf of any other persons, and not with a view to, or for, the resale or distribution thereof. Notwithstanding, MBA shall have authority to divide the shares, in its discretion, with its management, officers, directors and members. The certificate(s) for the Shares shall bear the standard securities law legend restrictions and Biotech shall issue “Stop Transfer” orders to its stock transfer agent.

 

2. (a) At the Closing, the holders of the Biotech Series A preferred stock, Albert Mitrani, Maria Mitrani and Ian Bothwell, signatories hereto, shall deliver to Biotech their Series A stock certificates, representing all 300 shares of such Series currently issued and outstanding, marked “CANCELLED” across the face thereof. Such holders, signatories hereto, authorize Biotech to take all steps to terminate and delete the designation for the Series A preferred stock, returning such shares to the status of authorized and undesignated preferred stock. (Biotech shall demonstrate to MBA the cancelled Series A certificate previously held by Dr. Bruce Werber so as to account for all 400 shares previously issued and outstanding.)

 

(b) At the Closing, Biotech shall demonstrate to MBA the cancelled Series B certificate(s) previously held by Albert Martini so as to account for all 1,000,000 shares previously issued and outstanding. Alternatively, Albert Mitrani, the former holder of the Series B preferred stock shall deliver to Biotech his share certificate(s) for the Series B preferred stock, marked “CANCELLED” across the face thereof. Mr. Mitrani, signatory hereto, authorizes Biotech to take all steps to terminate and delete the designation for the Series B preferred stock, returning such shares to the status of authorized and undesignated preferred stock.

 

(c) At the Closing, Ian Bothwell and Maria Mitrani shall, first, elect Manuel E. Iglesias and his nominee to the Biotech Board of Directors and, second, submit their resignations, effective as of Closing, as directors of Biotech. Both Maria Mitrani and Ian Bothwell, signatories hereto, release any and all contracts and commitments that they be directors of Biotech from and after the Closing.

 

(d) At the Closing, Albert Mitrani, Maria Mitrani and Ian Bothwell, as the directors of Biotech, shall deliver certificates to Biotech certifying that the Biotech By-laws [Sections 4.08(c) and 4.08(d)] no longer contain any provisions for any supermajority vote and that only a normal majority vote is required for the approval of any item of business.

 

(e) At the Closing, Albert Mitrani, Maria Mitrani and Ian Bothwell, signatories hereto, shall deliver agreements to the termination of their existing employment agreements and the reorganized Biotech Board of Directors shall enter into substitute contracts in the form attached hereto and made a part hereof.

 

(f) At the Closing, Albert Mitrani and Ian Bothwell, signatories hereto, shall deliver agreements to the amendment of their warrants to remove the provision that if the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding is decreased by a combination or reverse stock split, the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the warrant shall not be adjusted. Messrs Mitrani and Bothwell, authorize Biotech to treat the warrants as being consistent with the wording in all other outstanding warrants, namely to the effect that adjustment shall be made in such event.

 

   
 

 

(g) At the Closing, Albert Mitrani, Maria Mitrani and Ian Bothwell shall deliver releases of all amounts owing to them for unpaid salary to the date of Closing, for unrepaid advances made prior to January 1, 2018, and for unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to January 1, 2018.

 

(h) At the Closing, unless already exercised, Maria Mitrani and Ian Bothwell, signatories hereto, shall exercise their employee/affiliates warrants pursuant to the amended exercise price of $.001 on a cashless basis.
