Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

(a)           D&D Source of Life Holding Ltd. (“D&D”) and DENG Shufen are collectively referred to herein as “Reporting Persons,” and each, a “Reporting Person.” This Schedule 13D/A is being filed jointly on behalf of the Reporting Persons. A Joint Filing Agreement between the Reporting Persons is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(c)           D&D is principally engaged in production and sale of mineral water, purified water, sparkling water, beverages, and functional drinks; as well as the production and sale of various fungal products, functional foods, and sugar substitute products. DENG Shufen is the sole shareholder of D&D.

(f)            The citizenship of each Reporting Person is as follows:

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Funds for the purchase of the secured promissory notes reported herein were derived from general working capital of D&D.

 

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Statement is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

On September 6, 2024, Whitebox Multi-Strategy Partners, LP, Whitebox Relative Value Partners, LP, Pandora Select Partners, LP and Whitebox GT Fund, LP (collectively, “Whitebox”) and D&D entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which D&D agreed to purchase eight secured promissory notes (the “Notes”) from Whitebox at a total purchase price of $17,878,248.17 (the “Note Purchase”). The Notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The Notes are secured by substantially all of the Issuer’s assets (including all the Issuer’s intellectual property). The Purchase Agreement was amended respectively on September 11, 2024 and October 10, 2024 to extend the closing date, and the Note Purchase transaction was closed on October 22, 2024.

 

Part of the Notes are unconvertible and part of the Notes are convertible but subject to certain limitations, including a beneficial ownership limitation. A conversion of the Notes shall not cause the holder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own more than 9.9% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion. Because the Reporting Persons already have 55.4% of the Company, the Reporting Persons would not be able to convert the Notes into shares of common stock of the Company.

 

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on an ongoing basis and, in the course of their review, may take actions (including through their affiliates) with respect to their investment or the Issuer, including communicating with the board of directors of the Issuer, members of management or other security-holders of the Issuer, lenders to the Issuer, or other third parties from time to time, taking steps to implement a course of action, including, without limitation, engaging advisors, including legal, financial, regulatory, technical and/or industry advisors, to assist in any review, and evaluating strategic alternatives as they may become available. Such discussions and actions may be preliminary and exploratory in nature, and not rise to the level of a plan or proposal. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Reporting Persons specifically reserve the right to change their intention with respect to any or all of such matters. In reaching any decision as to their course of action (as well as to the specific elements thereof), the Reporting Persons currently expect that they would take into consideration a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the Issuer’s business and prospects; other developments concerning the Issuer and its businesses generally; other business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons; changes in law and government regulations; general economic conditions; and money and stock market conditions, including the market price of the securities of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may also take one or more actions described in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

 

 

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)–(b)    The responses of each Reporting Person to Rows (7) to (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D/A are hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5. The percentage of the class of securities beneficially owned by each Reporting Person used in this Schedule 13D/A as of the date hereof is calculated based on the sum of (i) 4,187,291 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 1, 2024 as disclosed in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on August 13, 2024 and (ii) 4,000,000 shares of common Stock issued upon the closing of the Purchase Agreement.

 

Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D/A, none of the Reporting Persons presently has the power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or direct the disposition of any of the ordinary shares which it may be deemed to beneficially own.

 

(c)           Not applicable.

 

(d)           No person other than the persons listed is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any securities owned by either of the Reporting Persons.

 

(e)           Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Statement is incorporated by reference in this Item 6.

 

To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, except as provided herein, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between any of the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, or a pledge or contingency, the occurrence of which would give another person voting power over the securities of the Issuer.

WHEREAS, each Seller desires to sell and assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase and assume from each Seller, all of each Seller’s right, title, interest and obligations in and under the Notes beneficially owned by such Seller on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined below), each Seller, severally and not jointly, shall sell, transfer and assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase and assume from each Seller, all of such Seller’s right, title, interest and obligations in and under each of the Notes currently issued and registered in the name of such Seller for a purchase price payable in cash by Purchaser to such Seller with respect to each such Note as set forth on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the aggregate purchase price for all Notes, the “Purchase Price”). Each such purchase, sale, transfer, assignment and assumption pursuant to this Agreement is without recourse to any Seller and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, without representation or warranty by any Seller.

SECTION 1.2         Closing; Closing Deliverables.

(a)            The closing of the purchase, sale, transfer, assignment and assumption of the Notes pursuant to Section 1.1 (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the earliest of the following (i) October 6, 2024, (ii) two Business Days following the date on which definitive documentation for the New Loan and definitive documentation providing for the changes to the terms of the Notes set forth in Section 2.3 have been finalized for execution, and (iii) such earlier date as Sellers and Purchaser agree in writing (the date and time of the Closing being referred to as the “Closing Date”).

(iv)          Purchaser shall have delivered those items to be delivered by Purchaser as set forth in Section 1.2 (including, without limitation, payment to each Seller of that portion of the Purchase Price for each Note being sold).

SECTION 1.4         Further Assurances. Each Seller and Purchaser shall promptly execute and deliver such additional documentation and take such additional actions from time to time after the date hereof as any other party may reasonably request to confirm of effectuate the intent of this Agreement, including by executing and delivering such additional documentation and taking such additional actions as reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder Representative or the Collateral Agent to permit the satisfaction of the closing conditions and the delivery of the documentation to be delivered at each Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

The Purchase Price Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser in the event the Closing occurs under this Agreement and shall be forfeited and be the property of Sellers in the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason without the Closing having occurred; provided that if Purchaser has previously funded the Purchase Price Deposit and Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to (a) Section 4.1(a) or (b) Section 4.1(d) unless, at the time of such termination, Sellers have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1(c), Sellers shall immediately return (no later than two Business Days) the Purchase Price Deposit in full by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing for Purchaser. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that the payment by Purchaser and retention by Sellers of the Purchase Price Deposit is not a penalty and will be deemed to be liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Sellers for any and all direct costs or liabilities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision).

SECTION 2.1         Representations and Warranties of Sellers. Each Seller, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows:

(c)            Such Seller has good and valid title to, and record and beneficial ownership of, the Notes being sold by such Seller. Such Seller owns such Notes free and clear of any and all liens, security interests, pledges, claims, options, rights of first refusal or other encumbrances of any kind and nature whatsoever, other than restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws or as will be released prior to any transfer to Purchaser.

(d)            Except for the representations and warranties in this Agreement, Sellers acknowledge and agree that Purchaser does not make, nor any person on behalf of Purchaser makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to any information provided or made available to Sellers in connection with this Agreement, and Purchaser (and any person acting on behalf of Purchaser) shall not have any liability to Sellers resulting from Sellers’ reliance on any such information.

(b)           The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement, and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not (i) violate or conflict with Purchaser’s organizational documents or any law or governmental order applicable to Purchaser or by which any of its properties or assets may be bound, (ii) require any filing with, or permit, consent or approval of, or the giving of any notice to, any governmental authority, or (iii) result in a violation or breach of, conflict with, constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, payment, or acceleration or any right under) or result in the creation of any lien upon any of the properties or assets of Purchaser under, any contract, permit, or other obligation to which Purchaser is a party, or by which Purchaser or any of its properties or assets are bound, other than in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) as would not be expected to materially impair Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(c)            Purchaser has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in securities similar to the Notes so that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes and has the capacity to protect its interests. Purchaser is acquiring the Notes for investment for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violations of the Securities Act. Purchaser understands that neither the purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement, nor any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, have been registered under the Securities Act or the securities Laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and that the Notes may be sold or transferred only if registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any other applicable securities Laws or if an exemption from registration is available, and that the Company is not required to register the Notes under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities Laws.

(d)            Purchaser is either (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.

(e)            Purchaser is not purchasing the Notes as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Notes published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

(f)             Purchaser has had the opportunity to review all documentation relating to the Notes and the Note Documents (including without limitation all exhibits and schedules thereto and all amendments and waivers relating to the Notes listed on Exhibit B to this Agreement) and has had access to such information regarding the Notes, the Note Documents and the Company as it deems necessary and appropriate for purposes of making its decision to enter into this Agreement and complete the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g)            Purchaser is aware that Sellers are subject to a confidentiality agreement with the Company, dated as of May 17, 2024, pursuant to which Sellers have received (and are in possession of) certain information from the Company, which may include material non-public information (the “Confidential Information”). By virtue of its designees appointed to and serving on the Company’s board of directors, Purchaser has access to the Confidential Information. Purchaser does not possess or have access to any material non-public information regarding the Company or the Notes other than the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding such parity of information, Purchaser acknowledges that Sellers have not affirmatively disclosed such Confidential Information to Purchaser, and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Sellers are not obligated to disclose any Confidential Information and will not have any liability with respect to such non-disclosure.

(h)            Neither Purchaser, any of its affiliates, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, members, partners, investors, or agents are, or have ever been: (i) persons with names listed on any list of denied or restricted parties under the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, the U.S. State Department’s Debarred Parties List or list of parties subject to nonproliferation sanctions, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Entity List, Denied Parties List, or Unverified List, the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List, the UK Sanctions List, or the United Nations Security Council Consolidated List; (ii) persons owned or controlled by the government of a Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, and the Covered Regions of Ukraine (as defined by Executive Order 14065) (“Sanctioned Jurisdictions”); (iii) a person located, organized or ordinarily resident in a Sanctioned Jurisdiction; or (iv) a person 50% or more, directly or indirectly, owned, or otherwise controlled, by one or more persons referenced in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) (collectively, “Sanctioned Persons”). No funds that Purchaser will use to pay the Purchase Price (including, without limitation, the Purchase Price Deposit) or any other payments under this Agreement are, to the best knowledge of Purchaser, derived from, for the benefit of, or on behalf of any Sanctioned Person, whether directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, or derived from any transaction with or action involving a Sanctioned Person such that the payments of the Purchase Price (including, without limitation, the Purchase Price Deposit) or any other payment under this Agreement may cause any party to this Agreement to violate applicable law.

(i)             The operations of Purchaser have been conducted in material compliance with the rules and regulations administered or conducted by the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the rules and regulations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and the Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) rules in the Bank Secrecy Act applicable to the Investor. The Investor has performed due diligence necessary to reasonably determine that its beneficial owners are not Sanctioned Persons and have not been found to be in violation or under suspicion of violating OFAC, FCPA or AML rules and regulations.

(j)             Except for the representations and warranties in this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no Seller nor any person on behalf of any Seller makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or the Notes or with respect to any other information provided or made available to Purchaser in connection with this Agreement, and Sellers (and any person acting on behalf of any Seller) shall not have any liability to Purchaser resulting from Purchaser’s reliance on any such information. Purchaser specifically disclaims that it is relying on or has relied on any representations or warranties, other than those representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, that may have been made by any person, and acknowledges and agrees that Sellers have specifically disclaimed and do hereby specifically disclaim any such other representations and warranties.

SECTION 2.3         Revisions to the Notes; Certain Waivers.

(a)            Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to work with Purchaser to seek the approval of the Company and the Collateral Agent to make certain changes in the terms of the Notes effective upon (but not prior to) the consummation of the Closing, including:

(i)             waive or otherwise remove or render inapplicable to Purchaser and its Affiliates the beneficial ownership limitations set forth in Section 5(b) of Note No.1, Note No.2, Note No.3 and Note No.4 (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”); and

(ii)            allow Note No.17, Note No.18, Note No.19 and Note No.20 to be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at the same rate and on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Convertible Notes (as altered, to the extent applicable, by Section 2.3(a)).

To avoid doubt, the failure of the Company or the Collateral Agent to consent to or to otherwise make or allow any revisions to the terms of the Notes, including, without limitation, those contemplated by this Section 2.3, shall not result in the failure of any condition set forth in Section 1.3, and Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase the Notes at the Closing notwithstanding such failures.

(b)            Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall take such actions, and shall request the Company and the Collateral Agent to take such actions, as may be reasonably necessary to waive any Default, Event of Default or Fundamental Change under the Notes occurring after the date of this Agreement as a result of (i) any purchase by Purchaser of additional shares of Common Stock or (ii) any conversion of the Simple Agreement for Future Equity, dated as of February 8, 2024, between the Company and Purchaser into Equity Securities (as defined therein); provided that any such waivers need only be effective from the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1.

(c)            Purchaser consents to any waivers or other revisions made to the terms of the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.3(c).

(d)            Sellers shall not waive any Defaults, Events of Default or Fundamental Changes with respect to the Notes or seek or agree to any changes to the Notes without Purchaser’s consent from the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1.

SECTION 2.4         New Loan. Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, negotiate in good faith with the Company definitive documentation providing for the New Loan, with such definitive documentation to be on such terms as are consistent with the terms set forth on Exhibit C to this Agreement and otherwise on terms and conditions as are reasonably satisfactory to Sellers and Purchaser.
