Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Current Report on Form 8-K and other written and oral statements made from time to time by us may contain so-called “forward-looking statements,” all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “plans,” “will,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends,” “estimates,” and other words of similar meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.
 
Information regarding market and industry statistics contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is included based on information available to us that we believe is accurate. It is generally based on industry and other publications that are not produced for purposes of securities offerings or economic analysis. We have not reviewed or included data from all sources. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and the additional uncertainties accompanying any estimates of future market size, revenue and market acceptance of products and services. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statement. As a result, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
 
Item 1.01        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On December 1, 2016, Majesco Entertainment Company (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Majesco Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, PolarityTE, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Polarity”) and Dr. Denver Lough, the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Polarity (the “Seller”). The closing is subject to various closing conditions, including, approval of stockholders of the Company in accordance with Delaware law and NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635 and a minimum cash balance available to the Company.
 
Polarity is the owner of a novel regenerative medicine and tissue engineering platform developed and patented by Denver Lough, MD, PhD. This radical and proprietary technology employs a patient’s own cells for the healing of full-thickness, functionally-polarized tissues. If clinically successful, the PolarityTE platform will be able to provide medical professionals with a truly new paradigm in wound healing and reconstructive surgery by utilizing a patient’s own tissue substrates for the regeneration of skin, bone, muscle, cartilage, fat, blood vessels and nerves. It is because PolarityTE uses a natural and biologically sound platform technology, which is readily adaptable to a wide spectrum of organ and tissue systems that Polarity and its world-renowned clinical advisory board are poised to drastically change the field and future of translational regenerative medicine.
 
            Polarity’s launch product which is being prepared for clinical trials is the first ever truly autologous skin regeneration construct of its kind, which can regrow full-thickness and functional polarized skin, including all layers (dermis & epidermis), hair, and skin appendages. The PolarityTE constructs will offer patients a new option for wound healing—“where self regenerates self”. In parallel with the clinical development of the functionally-polarized skin regenerative product, the PolarityTE platform provides a new and radical pipeline for expansion into numerous other tissues, including bone, muscle, cartilage, fat, blood vessels, nerves, solid organs and vascularized composite structures under a direct interface with practicing medical leaders, in order to provide patients and the market with truly practical answers to difficult wound and tissue voids.
 
At closing, upon satisfaction of each of the closing conditions, the Seller will be issued 7,050 shares of the Company’s newly authorized Series E Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) convertible into an aggregate of 7,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Merger Consideration” and such transaction, the “Merger”), expected to constitute approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis at closing and depending in part, upon the Company’s expected cash balance at closing. Until converted, each Preferred Share is entitled to two votes for every share of common stock into which it is convertible on any matter submitted for a vote of stockholders.
 
 
 
 
The parties to the Agreement made representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this nature.
 
The Merger is expected to be accounted for as an acquisition of assets rather than a business pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 805-50-30 “Business Combinations”.  Accordingly, assets acquired through a transaction that is not a business combination shall be measured based on the cash consideration paid plus either the fair value of the non-cash consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more clearly evident.
 
Following the Merger, the Company will continue to be a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated by the SEC.
 
The foregoing description is a summary only, does not purport to set forth the complete terms of the Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.
 
Series E Preferred Stock
 
On or prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Company will file a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the 0% Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Delaware Secretary of State pursuant to which the Company will designate 7,050 shares of the Company’s authorized shares of preferred stock as Series E Preferred Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value of such preferred stock, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such preferred stock, as of such date of determination, divided by the conversion price.  The stated value of each Series E Preferred Stock is $1,000 and the initial conversion price is $1.00 per share, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events. The Series E Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution, in each case will rank senior to the Company's common stock and all other securities of the Company that do not expressly provide that such securities rank on parity with or senior to the Series E Preferred Stock. Until converted, each share of Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to two votes for every share of common stock into which it is convertible on any matter submitted for a vote of stockholders.
 
The foregoing description is a summary only, does not purport to set forth the complete terms of the Certificate of Designation and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.
 
2017 Equity Incentive Plan
 
On December 1, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The purpose of the 2017 Plan is to promote the success of the Company and to increase stockholder value by providing an additional means through the grant of awards to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees, consultants and other eligible persons. The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other types of stock-based awards to the Company’s employees, officers, directors and consultants.  The Compensation Committee of the Board will administer the 2017 Plan, including determining which eligible participants will receive awards, the number of shares of common stock subject to the awards and the terms and conditions of such awards. Up to 3,450,000 shares of common stock are issuable pursuant to awards under the 2017 Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the 2017 Plan shall terminate at the close of business on December 1, 2026.
 
 
 
 
Employment Agreements
 
                On December 1, 2016, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Denver Lough (the “Lough Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Lough Employment Agreement, Dr. Lough will serve as Chairman of the Board and as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of the Company for a term of one year which shall be automatically renewed for successive one year periods thereafter unless earlier terminated.

Cause” means (a) the willful and continued failure of the employee to perform substantially his duties and responsibilities for the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the employee’s death or Disability (as defined in the employment agreement) after a written demand by the Board for substantial performance is delivered to the employee by the Company, which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the employee has not substantially performed his duties and responsibilities, which willful and continued failure is not cured by the employee within 30 days following his receipt of such written demand; (b) the conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony, or (c) fraud, dishonesty or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstratively injurious to the Company.
 
On December 1, 2016, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Edward Swanson (the “Swanson Employment Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Swanson Employment Agreement, Dr. Swanson will serve as Chief Operating Officer of the Company for a term of one year which shall be automatically renewed for successive one year periods thereafter unless earlier terminated. Pursuant to the Swanson Agreement, the Company shall pay Dr. Swanson (i) a one-time signing bonus of $100,000, (ii) an annual base salary of $300,000, (iii) an annual discretionary bonus, as determined by the Board, in an amount up to 100% of Dr. Swanson’s then current base salary and (iv) 10 year options (the “Swanson Options”) to purchase up to 846,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the 2017 Plan at Fair Market Value which Swanson Options shall vest in 24 equal installments commencing on the one month anniversary of the Swanson Employment Agreement and are subject to stockholder approval. If Dr. Swanson terminates the Swanson Employment Agreement for Good Reason or a Change of Control (as defined in the Swanson Employment Agreement) or the Company terminates the Swanson Employment Agreement without Cause, then Dr. Swanson shall be entitled to receive (i) the sum of his then base salary from the date of termination, (ii) reasonable expenses incurred by Dr. Swanson in connection with the performance of his duties, (iii) accrued but unused vacation time through the date of termination, (iv) the sum of this then annual bonus and (v) all Share Awards (as defined in the Swanson Employment Agreement) earned and vested prior to the date of termination.

Certain Risk Factors Relating to Polarity
 
               An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider carefully the risks discussed under the section captioned “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and any current reports on Form 8-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), all of which are incorporated herein by reference, and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC.
 
             There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.
 
Rapid technological change could cause Polarity’s platform, PolarityTE, to become obsolete.
 
The technologies underlying Polarity’s platform, PolarityTE, are subject to rapid and profound technological change. Competition intensifies as technical advances in each field are made and become more widely known. Polarity can give no assurance that others will not develop processes with significant advantages over the processes that Polarity offers or is seeking to develop. Any such occurrence could have a material and adverse effect on Polarity’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Polarity’s revenues will depend upon adequate reimbursement from public and private insurers and health systems.
 
Polarity’s success will depend on the extent to which reimbursement for the costs of its treatments will be available from third party payers, such as public and private insurers and health systems.  Government and other third party payers attempt to contain healthcare costs by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement of new treatments. Therefore, significant uncertainty usually exists as to the reimbursement status of new healthcare treatments. If Polarity is not successful in obtaining adequate reimbursement for its treatment from these third party payers, the market's acceptance of Polarity’s treatment could be adversely affected.  Inadequate reimbursement levels also likely would create downward price pressure on Polarity’s treatment.  Even if Polarity does succeed in obtaining widespread reimbursement for its treatment, future changes in reimbursement policies could have a negative impact on Polarity’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
 
 
To be commercially successful, Polarity must convince physicians that its treatments are safe and effective alternatives to existing treatments and that Polarity’s treatments should be used.
 
Polarity believes physicians will only adopt its treatment if they determine, based on experience, clinical data and published peer reviewed journal articles, that the use of Polarity’s treatment is a favorable alternative to conventional methods, including skin grating.  Physicians may be slow to change their medical treatment practices for the following reasons, among others: 
 
 
●   Lack of evidence supporting additional patient benefits and Polarity’s treatments over conventional methods;
●   Perceived liability risks generally associated with the use of new procedures; and
●   Limited availability of reimbursement from third party payers.
 
In addition, Polarity believes that recommendations for and support of its treatments by influential physicians are essential for market acceptance and adoption.  If Polarity does not receive this support or is unable to demonstrate favorable long-term clinical data, physicians and hospitals may not use Polarity’s treatment, which would significantly reduce Polarity’s ability to achieve revenue and would prevent Polarity from sustaining profitability.
 
Polarity’s ability to protect its intellectual property and proprietary technology through patents and other means is uncertain and may be inadequate, which could have a material and adverse effect on Polarity. 
 
Polarity’s success depends significantly on its ability to protect its proprietary rights to the technologies used in it treatment and PolarityTE platform.  Polarity relies on patent protection, as well as a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark laws and nondisclosure, confidentiality and other contractual restrictions to protect its proprietary technology.  These legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect Polarity’s rights or permit Polarity to gain or keep any competitive advantage.  In addition, Polarity’s pending patent applications include claims to material aspects of Polarity’s procedures that are not currently protected by issued patents.  The patent application process can be time consuming and expensive.  Polarity cannot ensure that any of its pending patent applications will result in issued patents.  Competitors may be able to design around Polarity’s patents or develop procedures that provide outcomes that are comparable or even superior to Polarity’s. Furthermore, the laws of foreign countries may not protect Polarity’s intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.
 
The failure to obtain and maintain patents and/or protect Polarity’s intellectual property rights could have a material and adverse effect on Polarity’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.  Whether a patent is valid is a complex matter of science and law, and therefore Polarity cannot be certain that, if challenged, its patents would be upheld.  If one or more of those patents are invalidated, that could reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage Polarity might otherwise have had.
 
In the event a competitor infringes upon Polarity’s pending patent or other intellectual property rights, enforcing those rights may be costly, uncertain, difficult and time consuming. Even if successful, litigation to enforce or defend Polarity’s intellectual property rights could be expensive and time consuming and could divert Polarity’s management's attention. Further, bringing litigation to enforce Polarity’s patents subjects Polarity to the potential for counterclaims. In the event that one or more of our patents are challenged, a court or the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) may invalidate the patent(s) or determine that the patent(s) is not enforceable, which could harm Polarity’s competitive position. If the USPTO ultimately cancels or narrows the claim in any of Polarity’s patents through these proceedings, it could prevent or hinder Polarity from being able to enforce them against competitors. Such adverse decisions could negatively impact Polarity’s future, expected revenue.
 
Polarity may become subject to claims of infringement of the intellectual property rights of others, which could prohibit Polarity from developing its treatment, require Polarity to obtain licenses from third parties or to develop non-infringing alternatives, and subject Polarity to substantial monetary damages.
 
 
 
 
Third parties could assert that Polarity’s procedures infringe their patents or other intellectual property rights.  Whether a product infringes a patent or other intellectual property involves complex legal and factual issues, the determination of which is often uncertain.  Therefore, Polarity cannot be certain that it has not infringed the intellectual property rights of others.  Because patent applications may take years to issue, there also may be applications now pending of which Polarity is unaware that may later result in issued patents that Polarity’s procedure or processes infringe.  There also may be existing patents or pending patent applications of which Polarity is unaware that its procedures or processes may inadvertently infringe.
 
Any infringement claim could cause Polarity to incur significant costs, place significant strain on Polarity’s financial resources, divert management's attention from Polarity’s business and harm Polarity’s reputation.  If the relevant patents in such claim were upheld as valid and enforceable and Polarity was found to infringe, Polarity could be prohibited from utilizing any procedure that is found to infringe unless Polarity obtains licenses to use the technology covered by the patent or other intellectual property or is able to design around the patent or other intellectual property.  Polarity may be unable to obtain such a license on terms acceptable to it, if at all, and Polarity may not be able to redesign it’s processes to avoid infringement.  A court could also order Polarity to pay compensatory damages for such infringement, plus prejudgment interest and could, in addition, treble the compensatory damages and award attorney fees. These damages could be substantial and could harm Polarity’s reputation, business, financial condition and operating results.  
 
Polarity’s business is subject to continuing regulatory compliance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and other authorities, which is costly and Polarity’s failure to comply could result in negative effects on its business.
 
The FDA has specific regulations governing tissue-based products, or HCT/Ps. The FDA has broad post-market and regulatory and enforcement powers.  The FDA's regulation of HCT/Ps includes requirements for registration and listing of products, donor screening and testing, processing and distribution (“Current Good Tissue Practices”), labeling, record keeping and adverse-reaction reporting, and inspection and enforcement.
 
Even if pre-market clearance or approval is obtained, the approval or clearance may place substantial restrictions on the indications for which the product may be marketed or to whom it may be marketed, may require warnings to accompany the product or impose additional restrictions on the sale and/or use of the product.  In addition, regulatory approval is subject to continuing compliance with regulatory standards, including the FDA's quality system regulations.
 
If Polarity fails to comply with the FDA regulations regarding its tissue regeneration processes, the FDA could take enforcement action, including, without limitation, any of the following sanctions:
 
 
Untitled letters, warning letters, fines, injunctions, and civil penalties;
 
Operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of procedure;
 
Refusing requests for clearance or approval of new procedures;
 
Withdrawing or suspending current applications for approval or approvals already granted; and
 
Criminal prosecution.
 
It is likely that the FDA's regulation of HCT/Ps will continue to evolve in the future.  Complying with any such new regulatory requirements may entail significant time delays and expense, which could have a material adverse effect on Polarity’s business.
 
Polarity faces significant uncertainty in the industry due to government healthcare reform.
 
There have been and continue to be proposals by the Federal Government, State Governments, regulators and third party payers to control healthcare costs, and generally, to reform the healthcare system in the United States.  There are many programs and requirements for which the details have not yet been fully established or the consequences are not fully understood.  These proposals may affect aspects of Polarity’s business.  Polarity also cannot predict what further reform proposals, if any, will be adopted, when they will be adopted, or what impact they may have on Polarity.
 
 
 
 
Oversight in the industry might affect the manner in which Polarity may compete in the marketplace.
 
There are laws and regulations that govern the means by which companies in the healthcare industry may market their treatments to healthcare professionals and may compete by discounting the prices of their treatments, including for example, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal False Claims Act, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, state law equivalents to these federal laws that are meant to protect against fraud and abuse and analogous laws in foreign countries. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal and civil sanctions, including, but not limited to, in some instances civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, federal and state laws are also sometimes open to interpretation, and from time to time Polarity may find itself at a competitive disadvantage if Polarity’s interpretation differs from that of our competitors.
 
Polarity may have significant liability exposure and its insurance may not cover all potential claims.
 
Polarity is exposed to liability and other claims in the event that its treatment is alleged to have caused harm. Polarity may not be able to obtain insurance for the potential liability on acceptable terms with adequate coverage or at reasonable costs. Any potential product liability claims could exceed the amount of Polarity’s insurance coverage or may be excluded from coverage under the terms of the policy. Polarity’s insurance may not be renewed at a cost and level of coverage comparable to that then in effect.
 
If the NASDAQ Stock Market determines that the Merger with Polarity and the issuance of the Merger Consideration results in a change of control of the Company, the Company may be required to submit a new application under NASDAQ’s original listing standards and if such application is not approved, the Company’s common stock may be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market.
 
In connection with the Merger, the Company will issue 7,050 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, which are convertible into an aggregate of 7,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.   NASDAQ Rule 5110(a) provides that a Company must apply for initial listing in connection with a transaction whereby a company combines with a non-NASDAQ entity, resulting in a change of control of such company and potentially allowing the non-NASDAQ entity to effectively obtain NASDAQ listing.  In determining whether a change of control has occurred, NASDAQ considers all relevant factors including, changes in management, board of directors, voting power, ownership and financial structure of the Company.  If The NASDAQ Stock Market determines that a change of control does in fact result from the consummation of the Merger and the issuance of the Merger Consideration and an original listing application has not been approved prior to the consummation of Merger, the Company will be in violation of NASDAQ Rule 5110(a) and the Company’s common stock could be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market.
