LABS, INC.


DESCRIPTION
OF COMMON STOCK


 


ProPhase
Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) – common stock, par value $0.0005 per share (the “Common Stock”).
The Common Stock trades on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “PRPH.”


 


The
following summary description sets forth some of the general terms and provisions of the Common Stock. Because this is a summary
description, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a more detailed description of the Common
Stock, you should refer to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) and the Amended and
Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which are filed as exhibits to the Annual Report on Form 10-K to which this description
is filed as an exhibit.


 


The
Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 51,000,000 shares, all with a par value of $0.0005 per share, 50,000,000
of which are designated as Common Stock and 1,000,000 of which are designated as preferred stock.


 


General


 


The
holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders, except on matters
relating solely to terms of preferred stock. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock,
the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by
the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or
winding up, the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities,
subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive
or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common
Stock.


 


Anti-Takeover
Effects of Delaware Law and Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws


 


The
provisions of Delaware law and the Certificate and Bylaws, could discourage or make it more difficult to accomplish a proxy contest
or other change in the Company’s management or the acquisition of control by a holder of a substantial amount of the Company’s
voting stock. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish, or could deter, transactions that
stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interests or in the Company’s best interests. These provisions are
intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Company’s board of directors and
in the policies formulated by the board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual
or threatened change of control. These provisions are designed to reduce the Company’s vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition
proposal and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing
changes in the Company’s management.


 


Delaware
Statutory Business Combinations Provision. The Company is subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, or the DGCL. Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business
combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction
in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person
became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. For purposes of
Section 203, a “business combination” is defined broadly to include a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting
in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and, subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder”
is a person who, together with his or her affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior, did own, 15% or more of
the corporation’s voting stock.


 




    	 



    	 



    

 


Blank-Check
Preferred Stock. The Company’s board of directors is authorized to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock,
the rights of which will be determined at the discretion of the board of directors and that, if issued, could operate as a “poison
pill” to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer to prevent an acquisition that the board of directors
does not approve.


 


Special
Meetings of Stockholders. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time only by the Chairman of the board
of directors or the board of directors, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding.


 


No
Written Consent of Stockholders. The Bylaws provide that all stockholder actions are required to be taken by a vote of the
stockholders at an annual or special meeting, and that stockholders may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.


 


Advance
Notice Provisions for Stockholder Proposals and Stockholder Nominations of Directors. The Bylaws provide that, for nominations
to the board of directors or for other business to be properly brought by a stockholder before a meeting of stockholders, the
stockholder must first have given timely notice of the proposal in writing to the Company’s Secretary. For an annual meeting,
a stockholder’s notice generally must be delivered not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the anniversary
of the previous year’s annual meeting.


 


Election
and Removal of Directors. Except as may otherwise be provided by the DGCL, any director or the entire board of directors may
be removed, with or without cause, at an annual meeting or a special meeting called for that purpose, by the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Vacancies on the board of directors
resulting from the removal of directors and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors
may be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office. This system of electing
and removing directors may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the
Company, because it generally makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of our directors. The Certificate
and Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.


 


Exclusive
Jurisdiction. The Bylaws provide that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought
on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other
employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant
to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the
Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine.”
