Exhibit 99.1
PLAN OF COMPLETE LIQUIDATION AND DISSOLUTION OF OPHTHALIX, INC.
This Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (this “Plan”) is intended to accomplish the complete liquidation and dissolution of OphthaliX, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) as follows:.
1. Approval of Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has adopted this Plan and it is contemplated that the holders of a majority of the Company's common stock will take action without a meeting of stockholders in accordance with the DGCL to approve the Plan and ratify the Company's actions taken pursuant to date on the Plan. The Plan and the transactions contemplated thereby have been approved by the Board as being advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. If stockholders holding a majority of the Company's outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), vote for the adoption of this Plan, the Plan shall constitute the adopted Plan of the Company on the effective date of such action (the “Effective Date”). Adoption of this Plan by holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock shall constitute the approval of stockholders of the sale, exchange or other disposition in liquidation of all of the property and assets of the Company, whether such sale, exchange or other disposition occurs in one transaction or a series of transactions.
2. Notice of Liquidation. As soon as practicable after the Effective Date but in no event later than 20 days prior to the filing of Certificate of Dissolution as provided in Sections 3, below, the Company shall mail an information statement to all its stockholders that this Plan has been approved by the Board and the stockholders. This information statement shall constitute notice required by Section 275 of the DGCL. A copy of the Plan shall accompany such notice.
3. Certificate of Dissolution. On the Effective Date, or at such other time as the Board deems appropriate, the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of dissolution (the “Certificate of Dissolution”) in accordance with the DGCL (the time of such filing, or such later time as stated therein, the “Dissolution Date”).
4. Cessation of Business Activities. On the Dissolution Date, the Company shall cease to engage in any business activities, except to the extent necessary to preserve the value of its assets, wind up its business and affairs, and distribute its assets in accordance with this Plan and pursuant to Section 278 of the DGCL.
5. Dissolution Process.
From and after the Dissolution Date, the Company shall proceed, in a timely manner, to liquidate the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 281(b) of the DGCL. In this respect, the Company:
(a) | shall pay or make reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations, including all contingent, conditional or unmatured contractual claims known to the Company pursuant to Section 281(b)(i) of the DGCL; |
(b) | shall make such provision as will be reasonably likely to be sufficient to provide compensation for any claim against the Company which is the subject of a pending action, suit or proceeding to which the Company is a party pursuant to Section 281(b)(ii) of the DGCL; and |
(c) | shall make such provision as will be reasonably likely to be sufficient to provide compensation for claims that have not been made known to the Company or that have not arisen but that, based on facts known to the Company, are likely to arise or to become known to the Company within 10 years after the Dissolution Date pursuant to Section 281(b)(iii) of the DGCL. |
If there are sufficient assets, such claims or obligations shall be paid in full, and any such provision for payment shall be made in full. If there are insufficient assets, such claims and obligations shall be paid or provided for according to their priority, and, among claims of equal priority, ratably to the extent of assets available therefor. Any remaining assets shall be distributed to the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. Due to the size of the Company’s liabilities, HOLDERS OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK HAVE NO PROSPECT OF RECEIVING A DISTRIBUTION OF ANY KIND AS A RESULT OF THE LIQUIDATION.
5. Liquidation. It is intended that this Plan shall be a plan of complete liquidation of the Company.
6. Sale of Subsidiary. After the Dissolution Date, the Company shall sell all of the ordinary shares of Eyefite Ltd. (“Eyefite”), its wholly owned subsidiary, to Can-Fite BioPharma Ltd. (“Can-Fite”) in exchange for the waiver and cancellation of all indebtedness owed by the Company and/or Eyefite to Can-Fite, all as set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
7. Trading of Company Securities. The Company will close its securities transfer books on the Dissolution Date and, at such time, cease recording securities transfers and issuing securities certificates (other than replacement certificates). Accordingly, it is expected that trading in the Company’s securities will cease on the Dissolution Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable. The Company will notify FINRA to cease quotation of Company securities on the OTC on and after the Dissolution Date.
8. Conduct of the Company Following Approval of the Plan. Under the DGCL, dissolution is effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or upon such future effective date as may be set forth in the Certificate of Dissolution. Section 278 of DGCL provides that a dissolved corporation continues to exist for 3 years after the Dissolution Date for purposes of prosecuting and defending suits by or against the corporation and enabling it to settle and close its business and dispose of and convey its remaining assets, but not for the purpose of continuing the business of the corporation as a going concern.
9. Absence of Appraisal Rights. Under Delaware law, the Company’s stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights for their shares of capital stock in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Plan.
10. Stockholder Consent to Sale of Assets. Adoption of this Plan by the requisite vote of the outstanding capital stock of the Company shall constitute the approval of the stockholders of the liquidation of the remaining property and assets of the Company, and shall constitute ratification of all contracts for sale, exchange, or other disposition that are conditioned on adoption of this Plan.
11. Compensation. The Board does not intend to receive salary or benefits from the Company after the Dissolution Date. For the purpose of effecting the dissolution of the Company, the Company may hire or retain, at the discretion of the Board, such employees, consultants and advisors as the Board deems necessary or desirable to supervise or facilitate the dissolution and winding up of the Company. Adoption of this Plan by the requisite vote of the outstanding capital stock of the Company shall constitute the approval of the Company’s stockholders of the payment of any such employment and compensation.
12. Indemnification. The Company shall continue to indemnify its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives in accordance with its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and any contractual arrangements and applicable law for actions taken in connection with this Plan and the winding up of the Company’s affairs. The Board, in its absolute discretion, is authorized to obtain and maintain directors and officers liability insurance as may be necessary, appropriate or advisable to cover the Company's obligation hereunder, including seeking an extension in time and coverage of the Company's insurance policies currently in effect.
13. Expenses of Dissolution. In connection with, and for the purposes of implementing and assuring completion of, this Plan, the Company may, in the absolute discretion of the Board, pay any brokerage, agency, professional, and other fees and expenses of persons rendering services to the Company in connection with the collection, sale, exchange or other disposition of the Company’s property and assets and the implementation of this Plan.
14. Authorization. The Board is hereby authorized, without further action by the stockholders, to do and perform or cause the officers of the Company, subject to approval of the Board, to do and perform, any and all acts, and to make, execute, deliver or adopt any and all agreements, resolutions, conveyances, certificates, and other documents of every kind that are deemed necessary, appropriate, or desirable, in the absolute discretion of the Board, to implement this Plan and the transaction contemplated hereby, including, without limiting the foregoing, all filings or acts required by any state or federal law or regulation to wind up its affairs. The Board may modify, amend, or abandon this Plan, notwithstanding stockholder approval, to the extent permitted by the DGCL, provided that the Board will not amend or modify this Plan under circumstances that would require additional stockholder solicitations under the DGCL or the federal securities laws without complying with the DGCL and the federal securities laws.
Adopted by the Board of Directors at a Special Meeting held on September 19, 2016.
