8.01 Other Events.
On December 5, 2022, the board of directors of the Company
authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase
Program”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time,
purchase shares of its outstanding stock for an aggregate purchase
price not to exceed $2 million dollars. Share repurchases may be
executed in open market transactions pursuant to a plan which will
be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and in accordance with
Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The authorization for the
Share Repurchase Program may be terminated by the Company in its
discretion at any time.
Additionally, the board of directors of the Company authorized a
change in the name of the Company to Dominari Holdings, Inc. which
reflects the board’s long-range strategic goal to diversify away
from the healthcare sector and into the financial services
sector.
Finally, the Company continues to actively recruit new team members
and build out operations space for its newly created financial
services subsidiary, Dominari Financial, Inc. (“Dominari
Financial”). Subject to final approval from the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (FINRA) under Rule 1017 (change of control)
and consummation of the acquisition of 100% of the membership
interests of Fieldpoint Private Securities, LLC (“Fieldpoint”), a
registered broker-dealer, Dominari will change the name of
Fieldpoint to Dominari Securities, LLC (“Dominari Securities”). To
date, the Company has deployed approximately $3.2 million of
capital in support of the establishment and operations of Dominari
Financial and Dominari Securities and expects to continue to make
additional contributions as required from time to time.
