This SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 13, 2013 is by and among Banjo & Matilda, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Parent”), Banjo & Matilda, Pty Ltd, a corporation formed under the laws of Australia (the “Company”), and the Stockholders of the Company that are signatories hereto (the “Stockholders”).

The Company has 100 shares of its capital stock (the “Company Stock”) issued and outstanding, all of which are held by the Stockholders. Each of the Stockholders is the record and beneficial owner of the number of shares of Company Stock set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A. Each of the Stockholders has agreed to transfer all of his, her or its (hereinafter “its”) shares of Company Stock in exchange for the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Parent (the “Parent Stock”) listed opposite such Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A, which in the aggregate amount to a total of 18,505,539 shares of Parent Stock (the “Shares”).

 

The exchange of Company Stock for Parent Stock is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended or such other tax free reorganization exemptions that may be available under the Code.

 

The Boards of Directors of the Parent and of the Company have determined that it is desirable to effect this plan of reorganization and share exchange.

No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company, the Parent and the Stockholders holding a majority of the Shares. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Stockholder to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any transaction document unless the same consideration is also offered to all Stockholders who then hold Shares.

 

SECTION 8.03.       Replacement of Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Parent shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Parent of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.

SECTION 8.05.       Independent Nature of Stockholders' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Stockholder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Stockholder, and no Stockholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Stockholder under this Agreement. The decision of each Stockholder to acquire Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Stockholder independently of any other Stockholder. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Stockholder pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Stockholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Stockholders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein. Each Stockholders acknowledges that no other Stockholder has acted as agent for such Stockholder in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Stockholder will be acting as agent of such Stockholder in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Stockholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Stockholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each of the Company and the Parent acknowledge that each of the Stockholders has been provided with this same Agreement for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Stockholders and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Stockholder.

 

22
 

SECTION 8.06.       Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Parent and the Company acknowledge and agree that the liability of a Stockholder arising directly or indirectly, under any transaction document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Stockholder, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other affiliate of such Stockholder or any investor, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of such Stockholder shall be personally liable for any liabilities of such Stockholder.

 

SECTION 8.07.       Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.

 

SECTION 8.08.       Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that Transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

 

SECTION 8.09.       Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

EXHIBIT B

 

Form of Opinion of Counsel to Parent

 

 

 

1.       The Parent is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted.

 

2.       The Parent has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Exchange Agreement, to consummate the Transactions and to issue the Shares. The execution, delivery and performance of the Exchange Agreement by the Parent, the consummation by it of the Transactions and the issuance of the Shares have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Parent or its Board of Directors is required. The Exchange Agreement has been duly executed and delivered, and the certificates representing the Shares have been duly executed, issued and delivered by the Parent and the Exchange Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parent enforceable against the Parent in accordance with its terms. The Shares are not subject to any preemptive rights under the Parent Charter or the Parent Bylaws.

 

3.       The Shares have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment in full as provided in the Exchange Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of first refusal of any kind and the holders shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Parent Stock under applicable Nevada law.

 

4.       The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions and the issuance of the Shares do not (a) violate any provision of the Parent Charter or Parent Bylaws, (b) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Parent is a party and which is known to us, (c) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Parent under any agreement or any commitment known to us to which the Parent is a party or by which the Parent is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (d) result in a violation of any Federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Parent or by which any property or asset of the Parent is bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (a) and (d) above, for such conflicts, default, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Parent is required under Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance of the Exchange Agreement or the offer, sale or issuance of the Shares, other than filings as may be required by applicable Federal and state securities laws and regulations.

 

6. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened against the Parent which questions the validity of the Exchange Agreement or the Transactions or any action taken or to be taken pursuant thereto. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending, or to our knowledge, threatened, against or involving the Parent or any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Parent or any officers or directors of the Parent in their capacities as such.
