As previously disclosed, on July 8, 2020, DAVIDsTEA Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DAVIDsTEA (USA), Inc. (the “Subsidiary” and together with the Company, the “Debtors”) commenced proceedings (the “Canadian Proceedings”) under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) (the “CCAA”) with the Québec Superior Court (the “Canadian Court”). On July 8, 2020, the Canadian Court issued an order, which, among other things, appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., a licensed insolvency trustee, as monitor (the “Monitor”), in accordance with the provisions of the CCAA.

As previously disclosed, on July 8, 2020, the Monitor also filed petitions under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code for recognition of the Canadian Proceedings and related relief. After issuing an order granting provisional relief, on August 4, 2020, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Court”) issued an order recognizing the Canadian Proceedings as the foreign main proceedings on a final basis and providing certain related relief.

On June 16, 2021, the Canadian Court entered an order (the “Sanction Order”) sanctioning, approving and enforcing the Plan of Compromise and Arrangement dated May 4, 2021 (as amended on May 6, 2021, the “Plan”) which the Debtors had filed under the CCAA. On June 17, 2021, the U.S. Court entered an order (the “U.S. Order”) giving full force and effect in the United States to the Sanction Order.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan. This summary highlights only certain substantive provisions of the Plan and is not intended to be a complete description of the Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, the Sanction Order and the U.S. Order, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

Plan of Compromise and Arrangement

The Plan provides for an aggregate distribution of approximately CAN$18 million, comprised of three funds: (i) the Canadian Convenience Class Fund, (ii) the DT Fund and (iii) the DT USA Fund, to be distributed to the classes of unsecured creditors as detailed below. The Plan divides unsecured creditors into those having claims against the Company (the “Unsecured Creditors of DT”) and those having claims against the Subsidiary (the “Unsecured Creditors of DT USA”).

Distributions to Creditors of the Company

For purposes of receiving distributions under the Plan, Unsecured Creditors of DT who have a Proven Claim of up to CAN$1,800 will be deemed to form part of a convenience class (the “Canadian Convenience Class”). All Unsecured Creditors of DT who have a Proven Claim in excess of CAN$1,800 have the option to elect to form part of the Canadian Convenience Class. The distribution of the Canadian Convenience Class Fund and the DT Fund to creditors of the Company under the Plan is summarized as follows:

TONIX PHARMACEUTICALS HOLDING CORP. (NASDAQ:TNXP) Files An 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure

TONIX PHARMACEUTICALS HOLDING CORP. (NASDAQ:TNXP) Files An 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure
Item 7.01

On June 21, 2021, Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it plans to develop TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) as a potential treatment for Long COVID Syndrome (Long COVID), or Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC1). A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.01 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.01 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the United States Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On June 21, 2021, the Company announced that it plans to develop TNX-102 SL for the treatment of Long COVID. The Company plans to meet with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the third quarter of 2021 to seek agreement on the design of a potential Phase 2 pivotal study and the overall clinical development plan to qualify TNX-102 SL as an indicated treatment for Long COVID. The Company believes that the core symptoms of Long COVID, including fatigue, sleep disturbances, and persistent pain, share an underlying pathogenesis with fibromyalgia. TNX-102 is currently in development as a treatment for fibromyalgia. By improving sleep quality, the Company believes that TNX-102 SL may improve the sleep disturbance of Long COVID and potentially also improve other symptoms of Long COVID. As disturbed sleep is linked to exacerbation and chronicity of a number of pain, neuropsychiatric and addictive disorders, the Company plans to conduct clinical trials to determine whether TNX-102 SL improves sleep in certain pain and neuropsychiatric disorders in addition to fibromyalgia.
