Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
Reference is made to that certain Cooperation Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2019 (the Cooperation Agreement), by and among MiMedx Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the Company), on the one hand, and Kathleen Behrens Wilsey, K. Todd Newton (together with Dr. Behrens Wilsey, the Initial Investor Group Designees), Richard J. Barry (the Final Investor Group Designee and together with the Initial Investor Group Designees, the Investor Group Designees), Prescience Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Prescience Partners), Prescience Point Special Opportunity LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Prescience Point), Prescience Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Prescience Capital), Prescience Investment Group, LLC d/b/a Prescience Point Capital Management LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (PPCM), and Eiad Asbahi (Prescience Partners, Prescience Point, Prescience Capital, PPCM and Mr. Asbahi, the Prescience Point Parties), on the other hand. The description of the Cooperation Agreement included in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 30, 2019 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
The Cooperation Agreement provides that the obligations of the Prescience Point Parties and the Investor Group Designees pursuant to certain provisions of the Cooperation Agreement shall terminate in the event that the Company materially breaches its obligations to such parties pursuant to certain provisions of the Cooperation Agreement and such breach (if capable of being cured) has not been cured within 10 calendar days following written notice of such breach from the Prescience Point Parties or the Investor Group Designees, or, if impossible to cure within 10 calendar days, the Company has not taken substantive action to correct within 10 calendar days following written notice of such breach from the Prescience Point Parties or the Investor Group Designees.
On June 29, 2020, the Company received a letter (the Purported Notice) from PPCM purporting to be a notice that PPCM was terminating the Cooperation Agreement due to an alleged material breach of the Cooperation Agreement by the Company. The Company informed PPCM that it disagrees with PPCMs assertions, including that any of the Prescience Point Parties have a right to terminate the Cooperation Agreement pursuant to its terms. PPCM did not then seek to engage with the Company under the Cooperation Agreement, and the Prescience Point Parties instead filed a third amendment to their Schedule 13D (the Schedule 13D/A) stating that they deem the Cooperation Agreement to be terminated. The Company is continuing to evaluate the Schedule 13D/A.
According to the Schedule 13D/A, as of July 14, 2020, Prescience Partners beneficially owned 6,024,730 shares of Company common stock, par value $0.001 per share (Shares), Prescience Point beneficially owned 1,845,539 Shares, Prescience Capital beneficially owned 7,870,269 Shares, PPCM beneficially owned 8,754,403 Shares and Mr. Asbahi beneficially owned 8,755,335 Shares, with the aggregate beneficial ownership of the Prescience Point Parties representing 7.9% of the outstanding Shares as of such date.
