3. ACQUISITION OF GRIDFABRIC, LLC.

 

On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with GridFabric, LLC, (“GridFabric”), and its sole member, Dupont Hale Holdings, LLC (“Seller”), whereby the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership units of GridFabric from the Seller (the “Transaction”) in exchange for an aggregate purchase price of cash and stock of up to $1,400,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Transaction closed simultaneously with execution on August 31, 2020. As a result of the Transaction, GridFabric, an OpenADR software solutions provider, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Purchase Price was as follows:

a)$360,000 in cash was paid to the Seller at closing;

b)              $400,000 in cash was delivered to an independent third-party escrow where such cash is subject to offset for adjustments to the Purchase Price and indemnification purposes for a period of 12 months;

c)              26,427 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $250,000, were issued to the Seller (the “Shares”). The Shares are subject to certain leak-out provisions whereby the Seller may sell an amount of Shares equal to no more than ten percent (10%) of the daily dollar trading volume of the Company’s common stock on its principal market for the prior 30 days (the “Leak-Out Terms”); and

d)              additional shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at up to $750,000, will be issuable to Seller if GridFabric achieves certain revenue and product release milestones related to the future performance of GridFabric (the “Earn-out Shares”). The Earn-Out Shares are also subject to the Leak-Out Terms.

 

The Shares were issued at a fair market value of $9.46 per share. The Earn-Out Shares are accounted for as contingent consideration and the number of shares to be issued will be determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date such milestone event occurs.

The Agreement contains standard representations, warranties, covenants, indemnification and other terms customary in similar transactions.

In connection with the transaction, the Company also entered into employment relationships and non-compete agreements with GridFabric’s key employees for a period of 36 months and plans to issue future equity compensation to said employees, subject to approval of the Company’s board of directors.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of GridFabric as an acquisition of a business under ASC 805.

The Company determined the fair value of the consideration given to the Seller in connection with the Transaction in accordance with ASC 820 was as follows:

 

Consideration:  Fair Value
Cash  $400,000
26,427 shares of common stock  $250,000
Contingent consideration - common stock issuable upon achievement of milestone(s)  $750,000
Total Consideration  $1,400,000

 

The total purchase price of the Company’s acquisition of GridFabric was allocated to identifiable assets deemed acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values as indicated below.

 

Purchase Price Allocation:   
Software  $1,120,000
Customer list  $60,000
Non-compete  $190,000
Goodwill  $26,395
Net Assets  $3,605
Total  $1,400,000
