Acquisition of American Funeral Financial

 

On June 4, 2014, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, SNFC Subsidiary, LLC (“SNFC Subsidiary”), completed a purchase transaction with American Funeral Financial, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company (“American Funeral Financial”) and Hypershop, LLC, a North Carolina  limited liability  company (“Hypershop”), the sole owner of all the limited liability company interests of American Funeral Financial, to purchase all of the outstanding limited liability company interests, or membership units, of American Funeral Financial.  American Funeral Financial is engaged in the operation of a factoring business with the principal purpose of providing funding for funeral homes and mortuaries.  

 

Under the terms of the transaction, as set forth in the Unit Purchase Agreement dated June 4, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, SNFC Subsidiary, American Funeral Financial and Hypershop, the Company paid Hypershop purchase consideration equal to (i) $3,000,000 in cash, of which $175,000 was deposited into an interest bearing escrow account to be held for a period of twelve months from the closing date to pay off the indebtedness and other liabilities of American Funeral Financial, plus (ii) $12,011,183, representing the amount of the good standing receivables of American Funeral Financial, plus (iii) earn-out payments equal to .0042 of the aggregate amount of life insurance assignments funded by American Funeral Financial during the three year period following the closing date of the transaction. This earn-out liability was estimated to be $1,368,000. The purchase consideration was to be used to pay off the indebtedness that American Funeral Financial owed to Security Finance Corporation of Spartanburg, as well as to pay off all other indebtedness and liabilities of American Funeral Financial.

 

The good standing receivables of American Funeral Financial are defined as its assignment receivables outstanding for less than 120 days from the closing date.  Within 15 business days after the expiration of the 120-day period following the closing date, Security National agrees to provide Hypershop with reasonable supporting detail of the amount of any assignment receivables included in the good standing receivables that were not collected in full by Security National during such 120-day period, and which of the uncollected good standing receivables that Security National elects to receive payment from Hypershop.  Thus, under the Purchase Agreement, Security National is entitled to payment from Hypershop for any uncollected good standing receivables in which Security National elects to receive payment.

 

The uncollected good standing receivables payment is to be paid to Security National within 15 days from Hypershop’s receipt of the uncollected receivable notice from Security National through reduction of funds in the escrow account until the escrow amount has been reduced to zero or fully disbursed, and if the escrow amount is insufficient, then payment is to be made by offsetting or crediting the amounts owed to Security National from the earn-out payments owed to Hypershop until Security National has received full payment of the amount equal to the uncollected receivables payment.  Security National, SNFC Subsidiary, Hypershop and American Funeral agree that if the escrow amount and the offsets against earn-out payments are insufficient to pay the amount of the uncollected good standing receivables and the outstanding indebtedness and other liabilities of American Funeral Financial as of the closing date, then Security National has no further recourse against Hypershop, and Hypershop has no further obligation or liability to Security National.

 

During the period between the closing date and 270 days after the closing date, Security National is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all outstanding receivables, including assignment receivables outstanding for over 120 days from the closing date.  In the event that Security National collects any assignment receivables that are outstanding for more than 120 days, Security National agrees to pay Hypershop the amount of such receivables within 15 business days after the receipt of such receivables.  If Security National is unable to collect all the outstanding receivables that are more than 120 days from the closing date, Security National agrees to transfer to Hypershop all right, title and interest to such receivables. 

 

With regard to earn-out payments, Security National agrees to provide earn-out payments to Hypershop on a monthly basis over a three year period in the amount equal to the life insurance assignments that American Funeral Financial has funded during the applicable monthly calculation period multiplied by the earn-out multiple of .0042.  In the event any customer of American Funeral Financial has also been a customer of C & J Financial, LLC (“C & J Financial”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Security National, during the twelve month period prior to the closing date, the earn-out multiple would be proportionately reduced by the funding amount provided by American Funeral Financial for such customer during the twelve month period prior to the closing date as compared to the funding amount provided by C & J Financial for such customer during the same twelve month period.
