TABLE OF CONTENTS

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER; CLOSING

1.01 The Merger.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Effective Time, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the BVI Business Companies Act, the Company will merge with and into the Merger Sub (the “Merger”) in accordance with the BVI Business Companies Act, whereupon the separate existence of the Company will cease, and the Merger Sub will be the surviving company (the “Surviving Company”).

(b) At the Closing, the Company and Merger Sub will cause articles of merger containing: a plan of merger approved by the directors of each entity (which plan shall itself shall reflect the terms of the Merger as set out herein and be in the form, and containing those items, as required by Section 170(2) of the BVI Business Companies Act); and those other items to be contained in the articles of merger under Section 171(1) of the BVI Business Companies Act in the agreed form (such articles containing the plan of the merger and such other items, the “Articles of Merger”) to be executed and then filed for registration by the BVI Registrar together with the resolution amending Merger Sub’s memorandum and articles of association in accordance with Section 1.03 pursuant to Section 171(2)(a) of the BVI Business Companies Act and the relevant provisions of the BVI Business Companies Act (and, if required, Merger Sub shall also simultaneously file notice of such amendment to its memorandum and articles or a restated memorandum and articles incorporating such amendment pursuant to Section 13(1) of the BVI Business Companies Act). The filings of the Articles of Merger and amendments to the memorandum and articles of association of Merger shall be made using the expedited Premium Service offered by the BVI Registrar. The Merger will become effective at such time on the Closing Date as the Articles of Merger and the resolution amending Merger Sub’s memorandum or articles of association and their amendment are registered by the BVI Registrar or at such other time subsequent thereto, but not exceeding 30 days, as mutually agreed between Parent and Company and specified in the Articles of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

(c) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company will succeed to all the assets, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises and be subject to all of the Liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub, all as provided under this Agreement, the Articles of Merger and the applicable provisions of the BVI Business Companies Act.

1.02 Effect on Outstanding Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger:

(a) The register of members of the Company will be closed, and thereafter there will be no further registration of transfers of Company Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of the Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect thereto except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.

(b) Each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (which excludes, in each case, Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares, if any) will be automatically converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(c) Each Company Share, if any, held immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company or Parent (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) will be automatically canceled and no payment will be made with respect thereto.

(d) Each Outstanding Warrant shall be assumed by Parent and automatically converted into a warrant to purchase Parent Ordinary Shares payable in Parent ADSs (collectively, the “Assumed Warrants”). Each Assumed Warrant shall (i) constitute the right to acquire a number of Parent ADSs equal to (in each case, as rounded down to the nearest whole number) the product of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration, multiplied by (B) the number of Company Shares subject to the unexercised portion of such Outstanding Warrant, multiplied by (C) the ADS Exchange Rate and (ii) have an exercise price per Parent ADS equal to (in each case, as rounded up to the nearest whole cent) the quotient of (A) the exercise price per share of such Outstanding Warrant prior to its assumption, divided by (B) the

A-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Per Share Merger Consideration, divided by (C) the ADS Exchange Rate. Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of Parent Ordinary Shares for delivery upon exercise of the Outstanding Warrants to be issued for the Assumed Warrants in accordance with this Section 1.02(d).

(e) Each Outstanding Right shall be assumed by Parent and automatically converted into a right to receive Parent Ordinary Shares payable in Parents ADSs (collectively, the “Assumed Rights”). Each Assumed Right shall constitute the right to automatically convert, upon the consummation of the Merger, into a number of Parent ADSs equal to (in each case, as rounded down to the nearest whole number) the product of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration, multiplied by (B) the number of Company Shares subject to the unexercised portion of such Outstanding Right, multiplied by (C) the ADS Exchange Rate. Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of Parent Ordinary Shares for delivery upon the conversion of the Assumed Rights in accordance with this Section 1.02(e).

(f) The Company Unit Purchase Option shall be assumed by Parent, such that each Outstanding Option shall be assumed by Parent and automatically converted into an option to receive upon exercise, with respect to each of the (i) Company Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company Unit Purchase Option, the Per Share Merger Consideration calculated in accordance with Section 1.02(b) and Section 1.07, (ii) the Company Warrants issuable upon the exercise of the Company Unit Purchase Option, the number of Parent Ordinary Shares payable in Parents ADSs calculated in accordance with Section 1.02(d), and (iii) the Company Rights issuable upon the exercise of the Company Unit Purchase Option, the number of Parent Ordinary Shares payable in Parents ADSs calculated in accordance with Section 1.02(e).

1.03 Organizational Documents. At the Effective Time, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall cease to have effect and the memorandum and articles of association of the Merger Sub (the “Charter Documents”), as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time but subject to those amendments made at the Effective Time filed pursuant to Section 1.01(b), shall be the Charter Documents of the Surviving Company, except that the name of the Surviving Company shall be “ 4D Pharma BVI Limited”.

1.04 Directors and Officers. Immediately after the Effective Time, the board of directors and officers of the Merger Sub prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial board of directors and officers of the Surviving Company.

1.05 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is (a) entitled to dissent to the Merger pursuant to Section 179 of the BVI Business Companies Act and (b) properly dissents to the proposed corporate action and makes a proper demand for payment of such shares in accordance with Section 179 of the BVI Business Companies Act (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Share Merger Consideration or Merger Consideration for such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 1.02(b), but instead such holder shall be entitled to such rights as are granted by the BVI Business Companies Act to a holder of Dissenting Shares. The Company shall deliver prompt notice to the Parent of any demands for payment or appraisal of any Company Shares, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the BVI Business Companies Act that relate to such demand and the Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company will not voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demand for appraisal with respect to any Dissenting Shares without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may or may not be given in the sole and absolute discretion of Parent).

1.06 Withholding. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of Parent and the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Company Shares pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of Tax Law. Any amount deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 1.06 will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of such deduction and withholding. At least five (5) Business Days

A-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

prior to the Closing, Parent or the Exchange agent, as applicable, will (a) notify the Company Shareholders of any anticipated withholding, (b) consult with the Company in good faith to determine whether such deduction and withholding is required and (c) cooperate with the Company Shareholders to minimize the amount of any applicable withholding. Each of Parent and the Exchange Agent will pay, or will cause to be paid, all amounts so deducted or withheld to the appropriate taxing authority within the period required under applicable Law.

1.07 Payment Methodology.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, Parent and the Exchange Agent will enter into an exchange agent agreement (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”), and at or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Company Shares pursuant to Section 1.02(b).

(b) After the Closing, promptly following delivery by a Company Shareholder (other than any Person who was a registered holder of Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, solely with respect to such Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares) to the Exchange Agent of a duly completed and executed letter of transmittal in a form mutually agreeable to the Parties (a “Letter of Transmittal”) and, if the Company Shares of such Company Shareholders are certificated, the share certificates representing such Company Shares, subject to the satisfaction of any other conditions to be met as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, Parent will promptly (i) issue, or cause to be issued, to the Depositary Bank for the benefit of such Company Shareholder (and Parent will direct the Exchange Agent to take all necessary action to record and effect the same) the number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Company Shares registered in the name of by such Company Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Share Merger Consideration”) and (ii) issue, or cause to be issued, to such Company Shareholder (and Parent will direct the Exchange Agent to take all necessary action to record and effect the same) the number of Parent ADSs equal to the Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the ADS Exchange Rate (the “Merger Consideration”). Any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains undistributed to the Company Shareholders on the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered or transferred their certificates representing such Company Shares for exchange pursuant to this Section 1.07 will thereafter look for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Company Shares represented by such certificates solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws). Any portion of the Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by the Company Shareholders three (3) years after the Closing Date (or if earlier, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) will become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(c) Any Merger Consideration that is to be issued to Company Shareholders under this Agreement will be issued directly to registered Company Shareholders in accordance with the instructions specified by such holder in its Letter of Transmittal. In no event shall any fractional shares of Share Merger Consideration or fractional interest of Merger Consideration be issued under this Agreement (with any fractional Parent Ordinary Share, in the case of the Share Merger Consideration, and, thereafter, any fractional Parent ADS, in the case of the Merger Consideration, that would otherwise be issued rounded down to the nearest whole Parent Ordinary Share and Parent ADS, as applicable). If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the relevant Company Shares were registered immediately prior to the Effective Time, it shall be a condition to such delivery that (i) the transfer of such Company Shares shall have been permitted in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Governing Documents, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the certificate of such Company Shares shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, (iii) the recipient of such portion of the Merger Consideration, or the Person in whose name such portion of the Merger Consideration is issued, shall have already executed and delivered counterparts to such other documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Surviving Company or Parent, including, with respect to the Lock-Up Shareholders, the Lock-Up Agreement, and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(iv) the Person requesting such delivery shall pay to the Parent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such delivery to a Person other than the registered holder of such certificate of Company Shares or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Company and Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) None of Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Company nor their Affiliates will be liable to any Company Shareholder for any Merger Consideration paid to any public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(e) In the event that any certificates representing Company Shares have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will issue, upon receipt of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof in form and substance satisfactory to the Exchange Agent, the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.02. Parent or the Exchange Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.08 The Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place electronically by the exchange of PDF copies of documents at 10:00 a.m. local time in the British Virgin Islands on the second Business Day following full satisfaction or due waiver of all of the closing conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII hereof (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing itself, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) or on such other date or time as is mutually agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

1.09 Tax-Matters. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub make no representations or warranties to the Company or to any shareholder regarding the Tax consequences to the Company or any holder of Company Equity Securities of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company and the holders of Company Equity Securities acknowledge that they are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection therewith.
