Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Amendment to Merger and Share Exchange Agreement
As previously disclosed, Impact BioMedical Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company" or "Impact"), is party to that certain Merger and Share Exchange Agreement, dated June 21, 2025 (the "Original Merger and Share Exchange Agreement"), by and among Dr Ashleys Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares ("PubCo"), Impact, Dr Ashleys Nevada Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo ("Merger Sub"), Dr Ashleys Bio Labs Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares ("Dr Ashleys"), and Kanans Visvanats (a.k.a. Kannan Vishwanatth), solely in his capacity as the sole shareholder of Dr Ashleys (the "Dr Ashleys Shareholder").
On February 27, 2026, the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Merger and Share Exchange Agreement (the "Amendment to the Original Merger and Share Exchange Agreement" and, together with the Original Merger and Share Exchange Agreement, the "Merger and Share Exchange Agreement"). The Amendment to the Original Merger and Share Exchange Agreement provides that in addition to issuing 22,000 PubCo ordinary shares to Frank D. Heuszel, the Chief Executive Officer of Impact (the "Impact Compensation Shares") as set forth in the Original Merger and Share Exchange Agreement, subject to DSS, Inc.'s full performance of the obligations set forth in the Transition Arrangement Agreement (as amended), PubCo shall issue 53,000 PubCo ordinary shares (the "DSS Shares First Batch") and 75,000 PubCo ordinary shares (the "DSS Shares Second Batch") to DSS, Inc. at the Closing. The Amendment clarifies that the Impact Compensation Shares and the DSS Shares will be deducted from the Company Share Consideration to be issued to the Dr Ashleys Shareholder at Closing. Accordingly, the definition of "Company Share Consideration" was amended to provide that PubCo shall issue 169,560,000 PubCo ordinary shares, representing 94.20% of the total issued and outstanding PubCo ordinary shares at the Closing, without giving effect to any Compensation Shares, DSS Shares First Batch or DSS Shares Second Batch to be issued in accordance with Section 3.2(d) of the Merger and Share Exchange Agreement.
The Amendment also revises certain termination provisions by extending the End Date from March 31, 2026 to July 1, 2026, which may be extended with the mutual written consent of Impact, PubCo, Dr Ashleys Shareholder and the Company (as further defined in the Amendment to the Original Merger and Share Exchange Agreement) and adds a provision requiring Impact to seek board approval to enter into certain loan agreements upon request prior to the Effective Time.
