Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the documents incorporated by reference herein (this “Current Report”) contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “target,” “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “shall,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “would,” “positioned,” “future,” “forecast,” “intend,” “plan,” “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements made in this Current Report regarding the proposed transactions contemplated by the merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) among CHAC, CHAC Merger Sub Ltd. and BiomX (the “Merger”), including the anticipated initial enterprise value and post-closing equity value, the benefits of the Merger, integration plans, expected synergies and revenue opportunities, anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth, the expected management and governance of the combined company, and the expected timing of the Merger. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on CHAC and BiomX managements’ current beliefs, expectations and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (1) the occurrence of any event that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CHAC, the combined company, or others following the announcement of the Merger and the Merger Agreement; (3) the inability to complete the Merger due to the failure to obtain approval of CHAC’s stockholders or to satisfy other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Merger that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws; (5) the ability to meet NYSE American listing standards following the consummation of the Merger; (6) the risk that the Merger disrupts current plans and operations of BiomX as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Merger; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Merger, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with third parties and partners, obtain adequate supply of raw materials and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the Merger; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that BiomX or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors; (11) BiomX estimates of expenses; (12) the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates fluctuations on the results of BiomX or the combined company; and (13) other risks and uncertainties indicated in the proxy statement of CHAC filed by CHAC with the SEC in connection with the Merger, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed or to be filed from time to time with the SEC by CHAC.

A further list and description of risks and uncertainties can be found in CHAC’s Prospectus dated December 14, 2018 filed with the SEC and in the proxy statement on Schedule 14A that has been filed with the SEC by CHAC in connection with the proposed transaction dated September 23, 2019, and other documents that the parties may file or furnish with the SEC, which you are encouraged to read. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Current Report is based only on information currently available to CHAC and BiomX and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. CHAC and BiomX undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously announced, on July 16, 2019, Chardan Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (“CHAC”) entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with CHAC Merger Sub Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CHAC (the “Merger Sub”), and BiomX Ltd. (“BiomX”).

On October 11, 2019, CHAC, Merger Sub and BiomX entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Amended Merger Agreement”) to reflect the following:

In addition, the agreement pursuant to which Chardan Securities, LLC agreed to purchase up to $2.5 million of CHAC Shares at the closing of the Business Combination in the event that the Aggregate Investment Amount is less than $50 million has been amended such that Chardan Securities, LLC agrees to purchase up to $2.5 million of CHAC Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) at the closing of the Business Combination in the event that the Aggregate Investment Amount is less than $55 million, provided that CHAC shall not be obligated to make such purchases to the extent that the Aggregate Investment Amount is less than $55 million because of the failure of the BiomX shareholders to purchase $23 million of CHAC Shares.

On October 11, 2014, CHAC filed an supplement to its proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC describing these amended terms.
