WARRANT EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

THIS WARRANT EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of May 18, 2015, by and between Catasys, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices located at 11601 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 950, Los Angeles, California 90025 (the “Company”), and each of the warrant holders identified on the signature pages hereto (each, the “Investor,” and collectively, the “Investors”).

 

WHEREAS:

 

A.     The Investors hold warrants to purchase up to certain shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), as set forth next to each Investor’s name on Schedule I attached hereto, at an exercise price of $0.58 per share (the “Warrants), as set forth next to such Investor’s name on Schedule I attached hereto. 

 

B.     The Company wishes to eliminate Warrants to eliminate the treatment of such Warrants as a stockholders’ liability in the Company’s financial statements. 

 

C.     The Company and the Investor desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Company shall, exchange each Warrant for one share of the Company’s Common Stock (collectively, the “Shares”). 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.     EXCHANGES.

 

1.1     Exchange. Immediately upon the execution of this Agreement by the Investors and the Company (the “Effective Date”), the Investors shall be entitled to receive Shares in exchange for the Warrants currently held by each Investor, as set forth next to such Investor’s name on Schedule I attached hereto upon delivery of the Warrants. Each Investor agrees to promptly deliver his Warrants after the execution of this Agreement. 

 

1.2     Delivery. In exchange for the Warrants, the Company shall within ten (10) Trading Days of receipt by the Company of the Investor’s original certificates evidencing the Warrants, (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Investor certificates for the Shares, as set forth next to such Investor’s name on Schedule I attached hereto, or (ii) cause American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (together with any subsequent transfer agent, the “Transfer Agent”) through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to credit the Shares to the Investor’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system.
