AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF ACQUISTION

 

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF ACQUISITION (“Agreement”), dated as of May 5, 2005, by and among NEW LIFE SCIENTIFIC, INC., a Nevada corporation, a Nevada corporation (“NWLF”), the stockholders of NOVO LIFE Scientific Group, Inc. as listed on the signature page (collectively, the “Stockholders”), a Ukrainian enterprise-corporation (“NOVO LIFE”). The corporate parties hereto are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Companies,” or individually as a “Company.”

 

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors/Managers of the Companies deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective stockholders that NOVO LIFE be acquired by and become a wholly owned subsidiary of NWLF and, in furtherance thereof, the Boards of Directors/Managers of the Companies have approved, as applicable, the share exchange provided for herein; and

 

WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the share exchange shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), but a IRS ruling or opinion of counsel is not being sought and such tax treatment is not a condition to closing the share exchange herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

THE SHARE EXCHANGE

 

1.1         The Share exchange . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof), NWLF shall issue its shares of common stock in exchange for the common stock (or authorized share capital as defined under Ukrainian law representing ownership of NOVO LIFE) of NOVO LIFE as set forth on the signature page (the “Transaction”).

 

1.2        Effective Time of the Share exchange . The Transaction shall become effective (the “Effective Time”) upon the completion of the share exchange as provided herein.

 

ARTICLE II

THE STOCKHOLDERS REPRESENTATIVE

 

2.1 Shareholder Representative . The NOVO LIFE Stockholders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Alexander Yelsky as their agent and attorney in fact (the “Representative”) with full power and authority through the Closing or termination of this Agreement, whichever occurs first, to execute, deliver and receive on their behalf all notices, requests, certificates, proceeds and other communications under or pursuant to this Agreement; to fix and alter on their behalf the date, time and place of the Closing; to waive, amend or modify any provisions of this Agreement and to take such other action on their behalf in connection with the Agreement, the Closing and the transactions contemplated thereby as the Representative deems appropriate; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment or modification may be made if it would decrease the purchase price for the NOVO LIFE Shares to be paid to the Stockholders as set forth in this Agreement or increase the liability of the Stockholders herein.

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

ARTICLE III

 

CONVERSION OF SHARES

 

3.1

Exchange Ratio . At the Effective Time and subject to Section 7, by virtue of the Transaction:

 

a.) The common stock of NOVO LIFE (“NOVO LIFE Common Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than NOVO LIFE Shares held by NWLF or any subsidiary of NWLF, if any), shall be exchanged for 17,500,000 share(s) of restricted common stock, par value $.001 per share, of NWLF (“NWLF Shares”). The aggregate number of NWLF shares to be received by the NOVO LIFE shareholders shall be 17,500,000. The NOVO LIFE Common Shares are also referred to as the “NOVO LIFE Shares.”

b.) If, prior to the Effective Time, except as required to meet the terms of this Plan of Share Exchange, NWLF should split or combine any of its outstanding stock or securities, or pay a stock dividend or other stock distribution in, then the NOVO LIFE Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such split, combination, dividend, or other distribution.

e.) Each NOVO LIFE Share held in treasury (or a subsidiary, as such term is defined in Article IV hereof) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and cease to exist, and no NWLF Shares shall be issued in exchange therefore.

 

3.2

Exchange of Shares .

 

(a)       Prior to the Effective Time, NWLF shall select and enter into an agreement with an attorney, transfer agent or trust company to act as Exchange Agent hereunder (the “Exchange Agent”) in the United States and in Kiev, Ukraine. No later than the Effective Time, NWLF shall make available, to the Stockholders Representative the NWLF Shares that the Stockholders shall be entitled to receive in the Transaction for delivery to the Stockholders in exchange for the NOVO LIFE Shares. The NWLF Shares for which the NOVO LIFE Shares shall be exchanged in the Transaction shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Time.

(b)       In the event that any stock certificate representing NOVO LIFE Shares shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed, NWLF shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate the number of NWLF Shares into which such shares are exchanged in the Transaction in accordance with this Article III . When authorizing such issuance in exchange therefore, the Board of Directors of NWLF may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate to give NWLF a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity, or such other form of indemnity as it shall direct, against any claim that may be made against NWLF with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.

No dividends that are declared on NWLF Shares shall be paid to persons entitled to receive certificates representing NWLF Shares until such persons surrender their certificates representing NOVO LIFE Shares. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the person in whose name the certificates representing such NWLF Shares shall be issued any dividends which shall have become payable with respect to such NWLF Shares between the Effective Time and the time of such surrender. In no event shall the person entitled to receive such dividends be entitled to receive interest on such dividends. If any certificates for any NWLF Shares are to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate representing NOVO LIFE Shares surrendered in exchange therefore is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates for such NWLF Shares in a name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Shares for any NWLF Shares or dividends thereon or, in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof, the cash payment for fractional interests, delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable escheat laws.

 

 

 


 

 

3.4         No Fractional Securities . No certificates or scrip representing fractional NWLF Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates representing Shares pursuant to this Article III and no dividend, stock split-up, or other change in the capital structure of NWLF shall relate to any fractional security, and such fractional interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a security holder. Any fractional shares to be issued to the Stockholders shall be increased to the next whole share.

 

3.5         Closing The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place via facsimile or in person on the day on which the parties execute this Agreement and on which all of the conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof are satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which are to be satisfied at Closing), or at such other date, time and place as the Companies shall agree.

 

3.6         Supplementary Action . If at any time after the Effective Time, any further assignments or assurances in law or any other things are necessary or desirable to vest or to perfect or confirm of record in the Surviving Corporation the title to any property or rights of either NWLF or NOVO LIFE, or otherwise to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are hereby authorized and empowered on behalf of each, in the name of and on behalf of them as appropriate, to execute and deliver any and all things necessary or proper to vest or to perfect or confirm title to such property or rights in the Surviving Corporation, and otherwise to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Agreement.
