CONSIDERATION
3.1 Purchase Price.
The Purchase Price is $700,000.00 (the "Gross Consideration"), consisting of 750,000 Class A Common Shares of the Acquiror (the “Share Consideration) PLUS additional cash consideration in the amount of $140,000.00 (the “Cash Consideration”) payable as described herein, and which total Gross Consideration is payable as described herein.
Share Consideration – The Share Consideration of 750,000 Common Shares shall be issued and payable by the Acquiror to the Seller on the Closing Date (as defined below). Provided however, while all Share Consideration shall be validly issued by the Acquiror to the Seller on the Closing Date, the Share Consideration shall be subject to certain additional lock-up restrictions for first twenty-four (24) months subsequent to the Closing Date.
These additional lock-up restrictions shall be governed by the lock-up-leak-out agreement appended hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Lock-Up Agreement”). Specifically, the Share Consideration shall be released to Seller in eight (8) equal quarterly instalments, further subject to the Revenue Earn-Out described in Section 3.1(b) below being satisfied in each quarter respectively, therefore resulting in 93,750 Common Shares being released to Seller (the “Quarterly Lock-Up”), until the total Share Consideration is fully released from the Quarterly Lock-Up.
The Parties recognize that the Company currently has a substantial number of shares outstanding and, in the event that the Company decides to validly approve and complete a share consolidation or share rollback within twelve (12) months after the date of this Agreement, the Share Consideration issued in this transaction to the Seller shall be protected from such share consolidation action (on a one time basis) and the total number of shares issued as Share Consideration in this transaction shall remain as outlined herein.
Provided however, the timing of issuance, the pricing, and the number of shares to be authorized and issued as Share Consideration shall, as appropriate, also be determined in accordance with the various regulations restricting the issuance of shares by a public company, including but not limited to, any further restrictions imposed by the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the OTC Markets (or any subsequent stock exchange as applicable) (the "Exchange") and any other regulatory authorities as appropriate.
5 |
Cash Consideration – The Cash Consideration shall be payable in two (2) equal instalments of seventy thousand ($70,000.00) dollars (each a “Cash Instalment”). The first Cash Instalment shall be paid by the Acquiror to the Seller no later than fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt by the Acquiror of the Notice of Effect from the SEC of its Form S-1 filing (the “First Cash Instalment”).
The second Cash Instalment of seventy thousand ($70,000.00) dollars shall be paid by the Acquiror to the Seller on the date that is no later than ninety (90) calendar days subsequent to the payment of the First Cash Instalment (the “Second Cash Instalment”).
For clarity, the sum of the Cash Consideration and the Share Consideration is collectively known as the Gross Consideration.
a. Closing Conditions. The Closing (as defined below) shall occur on September 1, 2022, or any such other date mutually agreed in writing by the parties, upon the satisfactory completion of the various closing terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement, including but not limited to, the satisfactory completion of the Acquiror’s due diligence of the Seller’s assets and operations and completion of the certified audit of the Seller’s financial statements. Upon Closing, the Acquiror shall issue the Share Consideration to the Seller less, if applicable, any Gross Consideration previously provided by Acquiror to Seller, including any deposits or other advance payments, and any funds owed in connection with prior agreements between the Parties. Irrespective of any contrary terms and conditions outlined in this Agreement, at the time of issuance, the Share Consideration shall be subject to any regulations restricting the issuance of shares by a public company, including but not limited to, any restrictions imposed by the SEC, the Exchange and any other regulatory authorities as appropriate.
b. Quarterly Revenue Targets. The Quarterly Lock-Up restrictions on the Share Consideration are removable quarterly if, and only if, the applicable Quarterly Revenue Targets (defined in Section 3.2) have been satisfied.
c. Statutory Share Lock-Up. Seller acknowledges that all Share Consideration issued pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to a statutory hold on the sale of shares or other restrictions imposed by the SEC, the Exchange or any other regulatory authorities as appropriate, which may restrict any transfer of the Share Consideration during any such lock-up period (the “Statutory Lock-Up”). For clarity, other than as outlined herein, any Share Consideration issued to the Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to both the Quarterly Lock-Up and the Statutory Lock-Up restrictions as respectively defined herein.
d. Asset Verification. Seller shall provide such tags or other information as necessary or reasonably requested for Xxxxxxxx's auditors to verify the existence and location of all of Seller's tangible assets as well as to confirm ownership of all of Seller's intellectual property and intangible assets. The Parties reaffirm that the agreement will be for the purchase of all of Seller's assets, tangible and intangible, except those assets, contracts, and agreements that are specifically excluded as elected by the Acquirors, and such excluded assets and obligations shall remain the separate property and/or separate obligation of Seller. If required, the Seller hereby agrees to provide full access to its books and records related to the Assets in order for the Acquiror to discharge its continuous disclosure obligations under applicable securities laws.
6 |
e. Contractor Period. For a certain period to be determined after the Closing, the Managing Member of the Seller (the “Contractor”) shall continue to receive as compensation substantially all (up to one hundred (100%) percent) of the revenues directly generated by the Seller’s client base provided that the Contractor continues to complete all contracted work. Any chargebacks or costs related to returns or repairs will be deducted accordingly from the total compensation to the Contractor as appropriate. This “Contractor Period” will continue until terminated in writing by the Acquiror, in its sole discretion, with no less than thirty (30) days written notice to the Contractor; provided however, the Acquiror may proceed in its sole discretion to negotiate employment contracts as appropriate with any employees of the Seller during such written notice period.
3.2 Quarterly Revenue Targets.
(a) The Seller shall be entitled to receive each quarterly release of the Share Consideration from the Quarterly Lock-Up restrictions based on confirmation that the quarterly revenues generated by the Seller’s Purchased Assets exceeds fifty (50%) percent of the Seller’s 2021 Annual Revenue (as defined below) divided by the four (4) quarters annually. For clarity, the Seller’s 2021 Annual Revenue will be divided by four (4) to determine the amount of each quarterly revenue target and then further reduced by fifty (50%) percent to establish the quarterly revenue milestone that must be satisfied to obligate the Acquiror to provide, respectively, that quarter’s release of Share Consideration from the Quarterly Lock-up restrictions (each, a "Quarterly Revenue Target").
(b) Upon completion of the independent audit providing confirmation of the Seller’s 2021 revenues and other financial information, the certified 2021 revenue amount will be extrapolated annually and will be used as the guideline revenue to determine if each Quarterly Revenue Target has been satisfied (the "Annual Revenue").
(c) [Intentionally Deleted].
(d) [Intentionally Deleted].
3.3 Allocation of Purchase Price.
The Parties agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated, for Tax purposes, among the Purchased Assets in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 1060 of the Code and all regulations promulgated thereunder. Within twelve (12) months after the Closing, the Seller shall:
(a) complete and execute Form 8594 Asset Acquisition Statement Under Section 1060, consistent with the Statement of Allocation; and
(b) deliver copies of such form to the Purchaser.
7 |
The Parties shall file a copy of the above-referenced form applicable to it with its Tax Returns for the period which includes the Closing Date.
If there is an increase or decrease in consideration (the Purchase Price under this Agreement) within the meaning of Section 1.1060-1(e)(1)(ii)(B) of the Treasury Regulations after the parties have completed the Statement of Allocation or have filed their initial Form 8594 Asset Acquisition Statement, the Parties shall allocate such increase or decrease in consideration as required by and consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations.
3.4 Tax Consequences.
The Parties intend that the Acquisition will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Party is relying solely upon its own tax advisors and counsel for advice concerning the Tax consequences of the Acquisition, and that no Party provides assurances to any other Party concerning such Tax consequences.
ARTICLE IV
CLOSING
4.1 Closing.
The closing of the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Acquiror, and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”), shall take place at the offices of the Acquiror (or at any other location determined with the mutual agreement of the Parties) on September 1, 2022, or any other date mutually agreed in writing by the parties, following the full execution of this Agreement (the “Closing Date”). Provided however, if any extension of the Closing Date cannot be mutually agreed by the parties before December 15, 2022 (the “Outside Date”), either party may terminate this Agreement with written notice to the other party and this Agreement shall become null and void. The parties hereto and their respective Representatives may participate in the Closing via electronic means.
