Rhea-AI Filing Summary

INVO Fertility, Inc. entered into a final Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement with Dr. Elizabeth Pritts and related parties, resolving all disputes tied to its prior acquisition of Wisconsin Fertility Institute. Wood Violet Fertility LLC agreed to pay $6,010,000 to Dr. Pritts and her affiliates, of which $1,000,000 has been paid, with the balance due in scheduled installments through December 31, 2026. The company also agreed that Wood Violet may use 25% of any gross funding proceeds above $2,000,000 raised within any six‑month period to accelerate settlement payments.

Separately, an institutional investor exercised its Additional Investment Right to purchase 400 shares of Series C‑2 Convertible Preferred Stock for $400,000 in cash, giving the shares an aggregate stated value of $400,000 and resetting the C‑2 conversion price to $0.7141 per share. These securities were issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on private offering exemptions.

Insights

INVO resolves a sizeable dispute while adding $400K in preferred equity financing.

The settlement with Dr. Pritts and related parties fixes Wood Violet’s total payment at $6,010,000, with specified milestones through December 31, 2026. This removes uncertainty around a multi-claim lawsuit tied to the Wisconsin Fertility Institute acquisition and clarifies cash obligations via a detailed installment schedule and a consent judgment that applies only if the settlement is breached.

On the financing side, an existing institutional holder exercised its Additional Investment Right to buy 400 shares of Series C‑2 Preferred for $400,000 in cash, and the C‑2 conversion price adjusted to $0.7141 per share. The issuance, relying on private offering exemptions, modestly increases preferred capital and defines a new conversion level, so the eventual effect on common shareholders depends on future conversions and the company’s ability to manage the scheduled settlement payments.

On May 7, 2025, Dr. Pritts and the Elizabeth Pritts Revocable Living Trust (the “Pritts Trust”) filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the State of Wisconsin, Dane County, against the Company and its subsidiaries INVO Centers LLC, Wisconsin Fertility and Reproductive Surgery Associates, S.C., and Wood Violet Fertility LLC (“Wood Violet”). Dr. Pritts and the Pritts Trust asserted causes of action for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, tortious interference with contract (or, in the alternative, veil piercing), and unjust enrichment, arising out of the transaction documents (the “WFI Documents”) pursuant to which the Company acquired Wisconsin Fertility Institute.

 

On May 14, 2025, the Company, Dr. Pritts, the Pritts Trust, and certain of their respective affiliates entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) to settle all disputes between the parties pursuant to the terms set forth in the Term Sheet (the “Terms”). The parties agreed to cooperate in good faith to prepare and enter into a final settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) based on the terms set forth in the Term Sheet; provided, however, that unless and until the Settlement Agreement was executed, the Terms are binding on the parties.

 

On September 30, 2025, the Company, Dr. Pritts, the Pritts Trust and certain of their respective affiliates executed the Settlement Agreement.

 

The Settlement Agreement provides that Wood Violet would pay Dr. Pritts $6,010,000 in full and final settlement and satisfaction of all obligations to Dr. Pritts and her affiliates under the WFI Documents. Of this amount, $1 million has been paid as of the date hereof, and the remainder is payable as follows: $755,000 due September 30, 2025, $755,000 due December 31, 2025, $1,000,000 due March 31, 2026, $2,000,000 due June 30, 2026, and $500,000 due December 31, 2026. The Company agreed to provide Wood Violet with use of 25% of all gross funding proceeds above $2,000,000 raised within any six-month period to accelerate the payment of scheduled settlement payments in chronological order. The parties also entered into a consent judgment to resolve the complaint that would be entered only upon any breach of the Settlement Agreement. The parties agreed to settle all disputes, including those related to employment, acquisition, tax, and related matters, the termination of all employment, consulting, and similar agreements with Dr. Pritts, and other customary terms, including, without limitation, indemnification and release of claims.

 

The foregoing summary of the Settlement Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
