Item 7.01.Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On May 2, 2019, Misonix, Inc., a New York corporation (“Misonix”) posted an investor presentation related to the proposed mergers discussed in Item 8.01 below to Misonix’s website. The presentation can be found at www.misonix.com under the tab “Investor Relations.” Information on Misonix’s website does not constitute part of this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the investor presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

 

Item 8.01.Other Events.

 

On May 2, 2019, Misonix issued a press release announcing that it was acquiring Solsys Medical, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Solsys”) and that Misonix had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Solsys, New Misonix, Inc., a New York corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Misonix (“ParentCo”), Motor Reincorp. Sub One, Inc., a New York corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of ParentCo (“Merger Sub One”), Surge Sub Two, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of ParentCo (“Merger Sub Two”) and Greg Madden, an individual resident of the State of Massachusetts (the “Merger Agreement”).

 

At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub One will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, merge with and into Misonix (the “Misonix Merger”), with Misonix surviving the Misonix Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of ParentCo and shareholders of Misonix receiving one share of ParentCo common stock for each share of Misonix common stock then held by them. Immediately following the consummation of the Misonix Merger, Merger Sub Two will merge with and into Solsys (the “Solsys Merger”), with Solsys surviving the Solsys Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of ParentCo and unitholders of Solsys receiving shares of common stock of ParentCo in exchange for their units. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Misonix will issue approximately 5.7 million new shares to Solsys unitholders. Upon completion of the transaction, it is expected that Misonix shareholders immediately prior to the closing will own 64% of ParentCo, and former Solsys unitholders will own approximately 36% of ParentCo. Following the completion of the Misonix Merger and the Solsys Merger, it is contemplated that ParentCo will change its name to Misonix, Inc. and the current Misonix, Inc. will change its name to Old Misonix, Inc.

 

The press release of Misonix announcing the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs, plans and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The following important factors and uncertainties, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements: the ability to satisfy the conditions to closing of the proposed transaction, on the expected timing or at all; the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; the risk of stockholder litigation relating to the proposed transaction, including resulting expense or delay; higher than expected or unexpected costs associated with or relating to the transaction; the risk that expected benefits, synergies and growth prospects of the transaction may not be achieved in a timely manner, or at all; the risk that Solsys business may not be successfully integrated with Misonix following the closing; the risk that Misonix and Solsys will be unable to retain and hire key personnel; and the risk that disruption from the transaction may adversely affect Misonix’s or Solsys’ business and relationships with their customers, suppliers or employees. For additional information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please refer to Misonix’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the risk factors contained in Misonix’s most recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K.
