On January 22, 2016, Posimed, LLC joined the involuntary petition as a petitioning creditor, and on March 24, 2016, the Company filed its amended answer which asserted that Posimed also was not an eligible creditor because its claim was the subject of a bona fide dispute.

The Court commenced the trial on the involuntary petition on April 14, 2016, and following the first day of testimony the parties reached an agreement to dismiss the bankruptcy based upon the Terms for an Agreed Structured Dismissal (the “Structured Dismissal Agreement”).

On May 2, 2016, the Company and the petitioning creditors filed a Joint Motion to Approve Agreed Structured Dismissal Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019. Any shareholders desiring to object to the terms of the Structured Dismissal Agreement have until May 26, 2016, to file a written objection with the Clerk of the United States Bankruptcy Court, 1205 Texas Avenue, Lubbock, Texas 79401. Parties who object to the approval of the Structured Dismissal Agreement may file a written objection with the Bankruptcy Clerk of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas referencing In re: Positron Corporation, Case No. 15-50205-rlj-11. The written objection should be sent to the attention of the U.S. Bankruptcy Clerk, 1205 Texas Avenue, Lubbock, Texas 79401.

A hearing to consider approval of the Structured Dismissal Agreement will be held in the Courtroom of the Honorable Robert L. Jones, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge, located on the 3^rd floor of the George H. Mahon Federal Building and Court House, 1205 Texas Avenue, Lubbock, Texas, commencing at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22, 2016.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 19, 2016, the Company entered into a Structured Dismissal Agreement providing for the dismissal of the involuntary bankruptcy petition filed against it. The terms of the Structured Dismissal are more fully set forth in Item 1.03 below and incorporated herein by reference. Approval of the Structured Dismissal Agreement is the subject of the hearing to be held before the Bankruptcy Court on Wednesday, June 22, 2016.

Item 1.03

Bankruptcy and Receivership

Order Determining Adequate Notice to Certain Shareholders

On May 2, 2016, concurrent with the filing of a Joint Motion to Approve Agreed Structured Dismissal Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 (the “Joint Motion”), the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Motion to Determine Adequate Notice Procedures for Certain Shareholders Under the Circumstances. On May 4, the Bankruptcy Court entered its Order Granting Motion to Determine Adequate Notice Procedures for Certain Shareholders Under the Circumstances (the “Order”) in which it held that notice of the proposed Structured Dismissal Agreement would be adequate for certain shareholders holding relatively small amounts of shares of the Company by filing a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, issuing a press release with the information continued in the notice and posting an approved notice on the Company’s website.

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Structured Dismissal Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Structured Dismissal Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. In addition, a complete copy of the Notice of Deadline for Filing Objections to Joint Motion to Approve Agreed Structured Dismissal Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and Notice of Final Hearing is attached as Exhibit A to the Order which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

Summary of the Structured Dismissal Agreement:

Once the Order approving the Motion is final and non-appealable, the Company will purchase any and all capital stock in the Company owned by Cecil O’Brate (the “O’Brate Shares”) for the total consideration of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). The Company will issue a promissory note payable to Cecil O’Brate in the amount of $100,000, payable at 4.5% interest in 12 monthly installments of $8,537.85 each (the “O’Brate Note”). Such promissory note will be secured by a pledge of the O’Brate Shares.

Within 10 days of the Order becoming final and non-appealable, the Company will convey either: (i) all of the assets of the Manhattan Isotope Technologies, LLC (“MIT”); or (ii) the membership interests of MIT, to a company and/or entity designated by DX, LLC (the “MIT Transfer”). In exchange for the MIT Transfer, the LANB Note, along with all related guarantees, security interest, and rights in connection therewith, will be fully extinguished, deemed satisfied, paid in full, and discharged.

DX, LLC may employ Jason Kitten and Suzanne Kitten, or a consulting firm of its choice, to conduct due diligence concerning the operations of the MIT facility located in Lubbock, Texas. In exchange for the opportunity to conduct due diligence as described herein, DX, LLC or O’Brate shall advance to the Company sufficient funds necessary to pay all payroll expenses associated with the two current employees of MIT effective as of April 15, 2016, and shall also directly pay to Los Alamos National Laboratories sufficient funds to pay the licensing fees associated with the recycling permit granted by the Los Alamos National Laboratories. Such obligations of DX, LLC or O’Brate shall cease upon the entry of any order by the Bankruptcy Court denying approval of the Agreement, or upon a determination by the Bankruptcy Court that any party has materially breached any of the terms of this Agreement.

The Company shall attempt to sell the real property it owns located at 530 Oakmont Lane, Westmont, IL. Upon closing of the sale the net proceeds will be distributed in the order of priority established by the Bankruptcy Code to holders of administrative claims and the allowed claims of unsecured creditors, provided, however, that the total of such administrative expenses shall not exceed 50% of the sales price.

The Parties will sign mutual releases releasing the Parties and their representatives from any claims that the parties may have or could have against each other.

The Parties stipulate that the Petitioning Creditors have valid claims that are not subject to offset or any other dispute as to amount or liability. The claims shall be paid their pro-rata share of distributions paid to unsecured creditors. The Petitioning Creditors, including DX, LLC, the Kittens, Moress, LLC, and Posi-Med, LLC shall agree to support the Motion to Approve Structured Dismissal Agreement and shall not have the right to opt out of the distributions to unsecured creditors.

Any unsecured creditors who do not desire to release their claim in exchange for their pro-rata share of distributions paid to unsecured creditors may opt out and pursue such other remedies to collect their indebtedness as may be available to them.

Upon the completion of all terms included in the Agreement, the Petitioning Creditors and the Company shall prepare and file a Joint Motion to Dismiss the Involuntary Petition.

Should the Bankruptcy Court determine the Company has failed to comply with the terms of the Structured Dismissal Agreement, it shall file a voluntary bankruptcy petition under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
