This Agreement made this 29th day of February, 2008, by and among Thrifty Drug Stores, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Seller”), and ApothecaryRx, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Buyer”).
RECITALS
A. Seller owns and operates a retail pharmacy and drug store business under the name Thrifty White Drug #726 at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 (such business is sometimes referred to herein as the “Business”).
B. Seller desires to sell and Buyer desires to purchase certain assets of Seller used in the Business in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein.
AGREEMENTS
1. ASSETS TO BE PURCHASED. Buyer shall purchase and Seller shall sell the following assets of Seller used in the operation of the Business (the “Assets”):
(a) All of the in-date, salable pharmacy inventory, including all rights to pharmaceutical inventory ordered but not yet received on the Valuation Date (as hereinafter defined in paragraph 2(a)) (the “Inventory”).The Inventory expressly excludes the following:
(i) Outdated inventory (inventory within 90 days of expiration date or older) on the Valuation Date;
(ii) Non-wholesaler repacked or misbranded pharmaceutical inventory;
(iii) Compounding chemicals; and
(iv) Any and all other inventory not transferable due to State Board of Pharmacy laws or other applicable state or federal laws;
(b) All of the following additional personal property (the “Intangible Property”):
(i) All customer lists, customer account receivable files, doctor files, prescription files, customer prescription history, and customer prescription records used by the Business (together, the “Files”);
(ii) All goodwill, the covenant not to compete and going concern value associated with the Business as set forth in the Goodwill Protection Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Goodwill Protection Agreement”); and
1
(iii) All phone numbers used by the Business will be transferred to Buyer, including, without limitation, the telephone numbers listed at Exhibit C attached as a part hereof (the “Phone Numbers”), with Buyer assuming and paying all roll over costs;
all as such assets exist on the Closing Date. Only such assets set forth above shall be sold by Seller to Buyer. Seller shall be responsible for the proper disposal of any inventory or other assets of Seller not purchased by Buyer hereunder. Buyer and Seller specifically agree that the cash, cash equivalents, investment assets and accounts receivable of Seller relating to the Business are excluded from the assets being purchased and shall be retained by the Seller.
2. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price for the Assets to be purchased shall be equal to the sum of:
(a) For the Inventory described in Section 1(a) hereof, the actual cost thereof paid by Seller. The actual cost paid by Seller will be determined by physical inventory on the date agreed to by the parties (the “Valuation Date”) by Retail Inventory Services (the fees of Retail Inventory Services to be split equally between Buyer and Seller), on the basis of the cost shown on Seller’s books and records, and after making allowances for damaged and out-dated inventory. Inventory in open bottles or other manufacturer containers shall be counted in one-tenth increments. Buyer and Seller have the right to examine the inventory tapes and reports and, if either of them reasonably believes that there have been errors or inaccuracies in such inventory, either party shall have the right to have the inventory reviewed by the inventory service or another national third-party inventory service mutually agreed upon by them and, if there were errors or inaccuracies, to have such errors or inaccuracies corrected; and
(b) For the Intangible Property, an amount equal to $11 times the number of Annual Prescriptions (as hereinafter defined). Annual Prescriptions means the lesser of:
(i) The number of prescriptions sold by the Business and paid for by customers of the Business during the 12-full-month period from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007; or
(ii) The number of prescriptions sold by the Business and paid for by customers of the Business during the period from October 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, multiplied by four.
To the best of Seller’s ability, it has provided reports to Buyer generated from Seller’s TWRx Pharmacy operating system demonstrating net prescriptions. The reports are 35B Reports which demonstrate gross prescriptions and 35A Reports which demonstrate net prescriptions, showing deletes. Seller will provide these reports for the following time periods: 10/01/07 to 12/31/07 and 01/01/07 to 12/31/07. The purchase price for the Intangible Property will be $11 times the lesser of: the number of prescriptions shown on the quarterly 35A Report times 4; or the total annual prescription count on the 35A Net Report; times $11. The lesser of these two amounts is
2
the 60,460 prescriptions shown on the annual 35A Report times $11 or $665,060. The parties agree that the purchase price for the Intangible Property is this $665,060, less $2,100 for rebates ($662,960).
3. PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay Seller, by wire transfer, an amount equal to the sum of: (i) 100% of the amount determined under Section 2(a) above as the purchase price for the Inventory; and (ii) 85% of the amount determined under Section 2(b) above for the Intangible Property. The balance of the amount due hereunder (15% of the amount for the Intangible Property) shall be paid by Buyer to Seller in 60 equal monthly installments, due on the first day of each month commencing April 1, 2008, subject to the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of the Goodwill Protection Agreement between the parties.
