Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Registrant is party to an acquisition and option agreement with Behavioral Centers of South Florida LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“BCSF”), as reported in a report of current event on Commission Form 8-K dated August 27, 2021, which is expected to close on or before December 31, 2021. However, BCSF has not been able to meet the Registrant’s requests for due diligence information on a timely basis. In light of the foregoing, while the Registrant intends to assist BCSF in this process, the required documentation being essential to successfully close on such acquisition, it has decided to accelerate other proposed acquisitions and, on October 28, entered into a merger agreement and plan of reorganization with a joint venture formed by Primary Medical Physicians, LLC, a Florida limited liability (“PMP”), Personal Care Medical Group, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“PCMG”), and, Glades Medical Centers LLC, a Florida limited liability company using Glades Medical Centers of Florida, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability company (“GMCF”) as the joint venture vehicle all four entities being collectively referred to in this current report as Glades. The individual principals involved are Messrs. Carlos H. Arce, Esquire, Robbie Chamoun and Daniel Sierra, and, Ramon A. Berenguer, MD, all Florida residents.

Glades is focused on primary care diagnosis and treatments for illnesses such as colds, flu, stomach aches or ear infections; minor injury care such as less severe bumps, cuts, abrasions or sprains; pediatrics from common childhood illnesses like influenza, bronchitis, rashes or infections, to minor injury care for cuts, lacerations, sprains or breaks; x-rays and in-house lab testing, and occupational medicine. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement and plan of reorganization all of the entities comprising Glades will be merged into the Registrant’s consolidated subsidiary, Now Health Corp., a recently organized Florida corporation (“NHC”) with all securities in such entities converted into 200,000 shares of the Registrant’s Class B Convertible Preferred Stock with up to an additional 40,000 shares issuable based on performance over a three year period. In addition, the Registrant will make available a $1,000,000 three year line of credit for development of the acquired businesses. It is anticipated that the acquisition will be closed upon following closing on Registrant’s current limited offering of $20,000,000 in shares of its Class B Convertible Preferred Stock in reliance on Rule 506(b) of Commission Regulation D (the “Limited Offering”) but in no event later than December 31, 2021. A copy of the Glades merger and reorganization agreement is filed as exhibit 10.01 to this report of current event and the foregoing disclosure is qualified in its entirety by the information contained therein.

Carlos H. Arce, Esquire, the Registrant’s recently appointed vice president, secretary and general counsel is an “affiliate” of Glades (as that term is defined under Rule 405 of Commission Regulation C) and was introduced to Puget during negotiations for the acquisition of Glades.

Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

At the 2021 annual meeting of the Registrant’s shareholders held on June 7, 2021, the shareholders ratified the recommendation that the Registrant’s board of directors be expanded to nine or more members, at least three of whom should be independent so that audit, nominating and compensation committees could be implemented as envisioned by the Registrant’s articles of incorporation and bylaws. The Registrant’s board of directors is currently evaluating a number of candidates for designation to its board of directors, as authorized by its shareholders, and upon their election and assumption of office, Messrs. Hermann Burckhardt and Thomas Jaspers, the current members of the Registrant’s board of directors have indicated they will resign and dedicate themselves to their role in Qest Consulting Group, Inc., the Registrant’s “parent” as that term is defined in Rule 504 of Commission Regulation C, as well as its strategic consultant (“Qest”), from which they will continue to assist the Registrant. Karen Lynn Fordham, the Registrant’s president and chief executive officer will succeed Mr. Burckhardt as a member of the board of directors and as its chair when Mr. Burckhardt resigns following closing on the Limited Offering described in Item 1.01 above.
