ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 1st day of August, 2021, by and among GROVE ACQUISITION SUBSIDIARY, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Buyer”) and GROVE, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Buyer Stockholder” or “Grove;” collectively Buyer and Grove are the “Buying Parties”); and VITAMEDICA CORPORATION, a California corporation (“Seller”) and DAVID RAHM, individually and YVETTE LA-GARDE, individually (each a “Seller Stockholder” and collectively the Seller and Seller Stockholders are the “Selling Parties”). The Buying Parties and the Selling Parties are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party.”

 

RECITALS

 

The Seller is engaged in the distribution and sale of nutritional supplements and cosmeceuticals (for purposes of this Agreement called the "Business"). The Seller wishes to sell and the Buyer wishes to purchase the Business and the Acquired Assets (as defined herein) for the consideration and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The principal place of business of Seller is 1140 Highland Avenue, Suite 196, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266.

 

AGREEMENT

 

The Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

1. Defined Terms.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, the terms set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement.

 

2. Basic Transaction.

 

2.1 Acquired Assets; Excluded Assets.

 

(a) Purchase and Sale of Acquired Assets. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, and Seller agrees to sell, transfer, convey, and deliver to Buyer, all of the Acquired Assets at the Closing for the consideration specified below in Section 2.4. The term "Acquired Assets" means all assets of the Seller, other than the Excluded Assets. The Acquired Assets include, without limitation, those set forth on Schedule 2.1(a) hereto. Upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing the Seller shall sell, transfer, assign and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase, acquire or accept from Seller, all right, title and interest of Seller in and to all of the Acquired Assets free and clear of all Liens.

 

(b) Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Acquired Assets shall not include the assets, properties and rights of Seller set forth on Schedule 2.1(b) hereto (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”). The term Excluded Assets includes without limitation cash of Seller.

  

2.2 Assumed Liabilities; Retained Liabilities.

 

(a) Assumption of Assumed Liabilities. On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer agrees to assume and become responsible for all of the Assumed Liabilities at the Closing. Buyer will not assume or have any responsibility, however, with respect to any other obligation or liability of Seller not included within the definition of Assumed Liabilities. “Assumed Liabilities” means only those Liabilities of Seller set forth on Schedule 2.2(a), which includes a list of the assumed accounts payable of Seller.

 

 
Page 4
 

  

(b) Retained Liabilities.

 

(i) With the sole exception of the Assumed Liabilities, the Seller shall retain, and the Buyer shall not be obligated to pay, perform or otherwise discharge, any other Liabilities of Seller, whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing Date, whether or not related to the Business and whether or not disclosed to the Buyer (“Retained Liabilities”). The Selling Parties hereby agree to pay and perform when due all of the Retained Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Retained Liabilities include without limitation the following (i.e., none of the following are being assumed by the Buyer): (1) any obligations of Seller to the shareholders of the Seller and other Affiliates of the Seller; (2) any Liability resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement or violation of Applicable Law by Seller relating to the Business prior to or on the Closing Date, (3) all Liabilities to employees or others for employment benefits, employee plan, collective bargaining agreement or other employment related Liabilities incurred or arising prior to or on the Closing Date, (4) all Liability for Taxes due from Seller, and (5) all Liability to indemnify any individual or entity.

 

(ii) If, after the Closing Date, Buyer receives any invoice or other request for payment for a Retained Liability, then Buyer shall promptly forward such invoice or other request for payment to Seller.

 

2.3 Closing; Place of Closing.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the purchase, sale and transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall be held simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, which is the date of this Agreement first above set forth. The time at which Closing occurs is the “Closing Date,” which, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law shall be treated as being effective as of 11:59 PM on such date. The Closing shall be consummated at the law offices of Averitt & Alford, PA in Jacksonville Beach, Florida or remotely by exchange of documents and signatures (or their electronic counterparts).

 

2.4 Payment of Purchase Price.

 

The total purchase price for the Acquired Assets will be as set forth below (the “Purchase Price”). Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price as follows:

 

(a) Common Stock. At Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller $500,000 of Grove's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Grove Common Stock"), valued at the IPO price, which is $5.00 per share (the “Issuance Price”) and results in 100,000 shares of Grove Common Stock, the stock certificates for which shall be issued in book format within five (5) days after Closing.

 

(b) Promissory Note. At Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a non-negotiable promissory note from Grove in favor of Seller in the original principal amount of $500,000 in substantially the same form as Exhibit B (the “Promissory Note”).

 

(c) Convertible Note. At Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a non-negotiable convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) from Grove in favor of Seller in the original principal amount of $500,000, convertible at the Seller’s option into Grove Common Stock at $5.00 per share of Grove Common Stock, which Convertible Note shall be in substantially the same form as Exhibit C. The Convertible Note shall be subject to offset for any amounts that Seller owes to Buyer arising from a reduction in Purchase Price due to a negative NWC Adjustment Amount.

 

 
Page 5
 

 

(d) Closing Cash Payment. At Closing, Buyer shall pay $2,000,000 in immediately available U.S. funds to the Seller pursuant to the wire transfer instructions set forth on Exhibit D (the “Closing Cash Payment to Seller”).

 

(e) Purchase Price Reduction - Revenue Shortfall. If the revenues of the Business during the period commencing on the day of Closing and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing are less than $2,500,000, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced as calculated in accordance with the provisions of Appendix I and the Sellers shall refund that reduction to Buyer.

 

(f) Purchase Price Adjustment –Working Capital. In accordance with Appendix II, the Purchase Price will be adjusted (positively or negatively) based upon the differences in the book value of the Closing Working Capital (as defined in Appendix II) as compared to a “Benchmark Working Capital” of $573,000 (such difference to be called the “NWC Adjustment Amount”.) If the NWC Adjustment Amount is positive, the Purchase Price will be increased by the NWC Adjustment Amount. If the NWC Adjustment Amount is negative, the Purchase Price will be decreased by the NWC Adjustment Amount. If the Purchase Price increases then Buyer will pay an amount equal to the increase to Seller within five (5) days of a final determination under Appendix II in immediately available U.S. funds. If the Purchase Price decreases then the Seller will pay the amount of the decrease to Buyer within five (5) days of a final determination under Appendix II, which shall first reduce the principal of the Convertible Note (thus reducing the number of shares of Grove Common Stock for which it may be converted) and then the remaining balance (if any) shall be paid by Seller in immediately available U.S. funds to Buyer. For example, if (A) the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Benchmark Working Capital by Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) then the Purchase Price will increase by Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000); or (B) if the Closing Working Capital is less than the Benchmark Working Capital by Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) then the Purchase Price decreases by Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000), which reduces the principal of the Convertible Note by that amount.

 

2.5 Closing Documents for Closing.

 

In addition to the payments and deliverables at Closing referenced in Section 2.4 above, the Buying Parties and the Selling Parties shall execute (where applicable) this Agreement and the following documents (each, a “Closing Document” and collectively, the “Closing Documents”) and take the following actions at the Closing: The Selling Parties shall deliver to the Buyer:

Page 17
 

    

(a) Access to Information. Each Selling Party understands that an investment in the Grove Shares involves a high degree of risk and long term or permanent illiquidity, including, risk of loss of their entire investment. Selling Parties have been given full and complete access to the Buyer for the purpose of obtaining such information as each Selling Party or that Selling Party’s qualified representative has reasonably requested in connection with the decision to acquire the Grove Shares. The Selling Parties have received and reviewed copies of the Prospectus. The Selling Parties have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the officers of Grove regarding its business prospects, all as each Selling Party (or that Selling Party’s investor’s representatives) has deemed necessary to make an informed investment decision to purchase the Grove Shares.

 

(b) Restricted Securities. (A) Selling Parties have been advised that none of the Grove Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws. Selling Parties acknowledge that the Grove Shares will be issued as “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. None of the Grove Shares may be resold in the absence of an effective registration thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Grove, an applicable exemption from registration is available; (B) Selling Parties are acquiring the Grove Shares for each Selling Party’s own account, and not as nominee or agent, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution, as that term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, in a manner which would require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws; (C) each Selling Party understands and acknowledges that the certificates representing the Grove Shares will bear substantially the following legend:

 

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE LAW, AND NO INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ASSIGNED, OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS: (i) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING ANY SUCH TRANSACTION INVOLVING SAID SECURITIES; (ii) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY STATING THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION; OR (iii) THE COMPANY OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.”

 

and (D) Selling Parties acknowledge that an investment in the Grove Shares is not liquid and is transferable only under limited conditions. Selling Parties acknowledge that such securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Selling Parties are aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), which permits limited resale of restricted securities subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and that Rule 144 is not now available and, in the future, may not become available for resale of any of the Grove Shares.

 

(c) Selling Parties’ Sophistication and Ability to Bear Risk of Loss. Each Selling Party is an Accredited Investor as that term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Exchange Act, and is able to protect its interests in connection with the acquisition of the Grove Shares and can bear the economic risk of investment in such securities without producing a Material Adverse Change in each respective Selling Party’s financial condition. Each Selling Party, either alone or with Selling Parties’ Representative, otherwise has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that said Selling Party is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Grove Shares.

Grove has made available to Selling Parties, through the SEC’s “EDGAR System,” a correct and complete copy of the Prospectus.

(i) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by either of the Buying Parties in this Agreement (subject to the time limitations set forth in Section 7.2) above or any certificate or Closing Document delivered pursuant hereto; or

 

(ii) the failure of either of the Buying Parties to comply with any covenants, agreements or obligations made by such Buying Party in this Agreement;

7.4 Limitation on Indemnification Liability.

 

(a) Selling Parties shall not have any obligation to indemnify Indemnified Buyer for a breach of any of the Non-Fundamental Representations and Warranties of Selling Parties until the Indemnified Buyers have collectively suffered Damages arising out of or in connection with all such breaches (of those Non-Fundamental Representations and Warranties), in the aggregate, in excess of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) ("Indemnification Basket") after which point Selling Parties will be obligated to indemnify the respective Indemnified Buyers from and against all such Damages as provided herein in their totality including the Indemnification Basket amount (i.e., as incurred, from and including the "first dollar" of such Damages).

 

(b) There will be an aggregate ceiling ("Indemnification Ceiling") on the obligation of the Selling Parties to indemnify the Indemnified Buyers from and against Damages arising out of or in connection with breaches of any of the Non-Fundamental Representations and Warranties; such Indemnification Ceiling being an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

 

 
Page 23
 

 

(c) Notwithstanding the above, this Section 7.4 shall not apply to any breach or inaccuracy of a Non-Fundamental Representation and Warranty of Selling Parties that is based on Special Misconduct.

 

7.5 Materiality Scrape.

 

For purposes of this Section 7, any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Change, any material respect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

 

7.6 No Double Recovery; Effect of Insurance; Third Party Claims.

 

(a) In the event an Indemnified Buyer recovers Damages in respect of an indemnification claim, no other Indemnified Buyer, as applicable, may recover the same Damages in respect of an indemnification claim under this Agreement. Additionally, no Indemnified Person is entitled to a double recovery of the same Damages.

 

(b) In the event an Indemnified Seller recovers Damages in respect of an indemnification claim, no other Indemnified Seller, as applicable, may recover the same Damages in respect of an indemnification claim under this Agreement. Additionally, no Indemnified Seller is entitled to a double recovery of the same Damages.

 

(c) Any Damages subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement will (1) be net of insurance proceeds received by the Indemnified Person that actually reduce the amount of the Damages (“Insurance Proceeds”) and, (2) be net of any proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Person from any third party for indemnification for such Damages that reduce the amount of the Damages (“Third Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Person is required to pay pursuant to this Agreement to any Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person in respect of the related Damages. If an Indemnified Person receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Person in respect of any Damages (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds for those same Damages, then the Indemnified Person will pay to the Indemnifying Person an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

 

(d) An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of the indemnification and contributions provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto. The Indemnified Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to collect or recover any third-party Insurance Proceeds and any Third Party Proceeds to which the Indemnified Person is entitled in connection with any Damages for which the Indemnified Person seeks contribution or indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that the Indemnified Person’s inability to collect or recover any such Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds shall not limit the Indemnifying Person’s obligations hereunder.

7.7 Setoff.

 

Upon notice to Seller from either Buying Party specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, Buying Parties may withhold and set off any amount to which they may be entitled under this Section 7 (or any other agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise) against the Seller or any of the Selling Parties against amounts otherwise payable under the Convertible Note, regardless of whether any Selling Party disputes such setoff claim, or whether such setoff claim is for a contingent or an unliquidated amount. The exercise of such right of setoff by a Buying Party in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default under the Promissory Note or Convertible Note. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff will constitute an election of remedies or limit any of the Buying Parties in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to them. The Parties acknowledge that Buyer is not the maker of the Convertible Note, but is a Subsidiary of Grove, which is the maker of the Promissory Note or the Convertible Note, and Grove is entitled to make a setoff with respect to claims for indemnification that Buyer or Grove assert against any Selling Party.

 

7.8 Exclusive Remedy.

 

With the exception of a Party’s ability to recover for any claim for Special Misconduct related to this Agreement or any Closing Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section 7 of this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Party with respect to any and all monetary claims for any breach or nonperformance by any other Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein; provided, however, nothing shall limit any Party’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which it may be entitled.

APPENDIX I

(REVENUE SHORTFALL APPENDIX)

 

1. DEFINITIONS. Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix shall have the meanings given such terms in this Agreement. For purposes of this Appendix I, the following terms have the meanings specified or referred to in this Paragraph 1:

 

Adjusted Revenues” – gross revenues of the Business, adjusted as follows:

 

(a) exclude revenues of the Business from the sale of assets other than in the Ordinary Course of Business;

 

(b) the purchase and sales prices of goods and services sold by the Business to Affiliates of Buyer, shall be adjusted to reflect the amounts that the Target would have received or paid if dealing with an independent party in an arm’s-length commercial transaction.

 

Affiliate” – with respect to any entity, an entity that directly or indirectly controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, as the case may be, the relevant entity.

 

Business” – means the Business as defined in this Agreement, as operated by Buyer during the Computation Period.

 

Computation Notice” – as defined in Paragraph 4(a).

 

Computation Period” – the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

Force Majeure Event” – is defined as any event owing to acts of God, applicable orders or restrictions by a governmental entity, strikes or other labor disturbances, riots, embargoes, power failures, telecommunication line failures, revolutions, wars, fires, floods, ransomware attacks or other computer hacking, epidemics and pandemics (including the Covid-19 pandemic) or any other cause or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of either party, substantially similar to those listed. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Agreement, the Covid-19 pandemic and the governmental responses imposed in connection with that may be a Force Majeure Event, for and only for, a period of up to a maximum of 60 days (and no longer, and after such time frame shall no longer be recognized as a Force Majeure Event), if and to the extent, and only for the period (i) the applicable government formally declares and maintains an “emergency” for the COVID-19 event or conditions then in effect in the applicable area of emergency, and (ii) further, the government enacts or implements and maintains an order, rule or regulation restricting activities by persons within the jurisdiction of that governmental body, and (iii) such restrictions and the direct effects thereof materially and adversely directly diminish the ability of a Party hereto timely fulfilling or performing any covenant of this Agreement (except for any obligations to make payments to the other Party hereunder). The Party impacted by the Force Majeure Event (the “Impacted Party”) shall give notice within five days of the Force Majeure Event to the other Party, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue. The Impacted Party shall use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. The Impacted Party shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. The Parties acknowledge that the COVID pandemic and government response may result in stimulating certain business activities and industries, including without limitation certain online sales.

 

 
Page 49
 

 

Independent Accountants” – as defined in Paragraph 5(d).

 

Issuance Price” – as defined in Section 2.4(a) of this Agreement.

 

Minimum Revenue Target” – $2,500,000

 

“Objection Notice” – as defined in Paragraph 5(c).

 

Payment Formula ” – the reduction to Purchase Price for a revenue shortfall is calculated by (i) subtracting the revenues of the Business from $2,500,000; and (ii) dividing that difference by $2,500,000; and (iii) multiplying that quotient by $3,500,000.

 

Seller Representative” – Dr. David Rahm or Ms. Yvette La-Garde.

 

2. EXAMPLES. Examples of calculation of the reduction of Purchase Price due to Adjusted Revenues being less than the Minimum Revenue Target are attached to this Appendix I as the “Purchase Price Reduction Examples Exhibit.”

 

3. CERTAIN OPERATING GUIDELINES.

 

 

(a)

Buyer agrees that, at all times prior to the expiration of the Computation Period, the Buyer shall remain a separate legal entity or a separate reporting unit with accounting and financial statements separate from those of Grove and its other businesses.

 

 

 

 

(b)

Buyer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the Minimum Target Revenue. Buyer shall not take any action for purposes of preventing the Business from achieving the Minimum Revenue Target.

 

 

 

 

(c)

Selling Parties shall promptly notify Buyer in writing if Selling Parties discover that Buyer has failed to comply with any of the above operating guidelines in this Paragraph 3. If such failure is capable of being cured, for purposes of this Appendix, Buyer shall have a period of ten (10) days to cure.

  

4. PURCHASE PRICE REDUCTION.

 

 

(a)

If the Minimum Revenue Target for the Business is attained by Buyer for the Computation Period (and the Adjusted Revenues of the Business exceed the Minimum Target Revenue), then there shall be no reduction in Purchase Price under this Appendix. However, subject to the following sentence, if the Minimum Revenue Target is not attained for the Computation Period (also called herein a “Revenue Shortfall”) as set forth below, then there shall be a reduction in Purchase Price as provided under this Appendix. The revenue and Adjusted Revenues of the Business as determined in accordance with the Agreement and this Appendix will be adjusted for any direct Force Majeure Event (as defined in Section 1 of this Appendix) in the amount, but no more than the ‘net’ amount, agreed the Parties or proven by the preponderance of evidence, that the Force Majeure Event directly and adversely affected such overall revenue for the relevant period as compared to fiscal year 2020.

  

 
Page 50
 

 

 

(b)

If the Adjusted Revenues of the Business during the period commencing on the day of the Closing and ending on the first anniversary of Closing are less than $2,500,000, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced as calculated below and the Selling Parties shall refund that reduction to Grove (and the other Buying Party), subject to a maximum reduction of $500,000. The reduction to Purchase Price for a Revenue Shortfall is calculated by (i) subtracting the Adjusted Revenues of the Business from $2,500,000; and (ii) dividing that difference by $2,500,000; and (iii) multiplying that quotient by $3,500,000. Such payment amount is called the “Purchase Price Reduction Payment”.

 

 

 

 

(c)

The payment or refund by Seller (or other Selling Parties) of the Purchase Price Reduction Payment may be by offset from the Convertible Note delivered to Seller as consideration with a principal balance outstanding at such time. As referenced above, the maximum amount of such payment or refund is $500,000.

 

 

 

 

(d)

The Purchase Price Reduction Payment will be paid by Seller or Selling Parties within sixty (60) days after the final determination of the Adjusted Revenues.

 

 

 

 

(e)

If the Purchase Price Reduction payment is not timely paid by Seller as set forth above, then upon notice to the Selling Parties specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, Grove (or Buyer) may set off any amount to which it claims to be entitled from any Selling Party under this Agreement, or otherwise, (including without limitation amounts otherwise owed by Seller as a price reduction under this Appendix I) against any monies or amounts owed to Seller (or Selling Parties). The exercise of such right of setoff by Buyer (or other Buying Party) in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute a default under this Appendix I, the Promissory Note, the Convertible Note, this Agreement (or any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement) regardless of whether any Selling Party disputes such setoff claim, or whether such setoff claim is for a contingent or unliquidated amount. Neither the exercise of, nor the failure to exercise, such right of setoff will constitute an election of remedies or limit either Buying Party in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it, including without limitation pursuing a claim for indemnification under Section 7 of this Agreement.

  

5. PROCEDURE.

 

 

(a)

Buyer shall maintain separate accounting books and records for the Business during the Computation Period. Promptly following the end of the Computation Period, Buyer shall prepare (i) a computation of revenue of the Business for the Computation Period, which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (the “Revenue Statement”), and (ii) a computation of Adjusted Revenue, showing separately each of the adjustments made to Revenue to arrive at Adjusted Revenue (the “Adjusted Revenue Computation Notice”). Buyer shall deliver the Revenue Statement and the Adjusted Revenue Computation Notice to Seller Representative within sixty (60) days following the end of the Computation Period.

 

 

 

 

(b)

Upon execution of such access letters as may be reasonably required by Buyer, Seller Representative shall be given reasonable access during reasonable business hours to (and copies of) all of Buyer’s and its representatives’ books, records, and other documents, including work papers, worksheets, notes, and schedules used in preparation of the Revenue Statement and Adjusted Revenue, in each case, other than work papers that Buyer considers proprietary, such as internal control documentation, engagement planning, time control and audit sign off, and quality control work papers.

 

 
Page 51
 

 

 

(c)

If, within sixty (60) days following delivery of the Revenue Statement and the Adjusted Revenue Computation Notice to Seller Representative, Seller Representative has not given Buyer notice of an objection as to any amounts set forth on the Revenue Statement or the Adjusted Revenue Computation Notice (which objection notice shall state in reasonable detail the basis of Seller Representative’s objection) (the “Objection Notice”), the reduction in Purchase Price as computed by Buyer will be final, binding, and conclusive on the parties.

 

 

 

 

(d)

If Seller Representative timely gives Buyer an Objection Notice, and if Seller Representative and Buyer fail to resolve the issues raised in the Objection Notice within thirty (30) days after giving the Objection Notice, Seller Representative and Buyer shall submit the issues remaining in dispute for resolution to the Independent Accountants.

 

 

 

 

(e)

The parties shall negotiate in good faith in order to seek agreement on the procedures to be followed by the Independent Accountants, including procedures with regard to the presentation of evidence. If the parties are unable to agree upon procedures within ten (10) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants, the Independent Accountants shall establish such procedures giving due regard to the intention of the parties to resolve disputes as promptly, efficiently, and inexpensively as possible, which procedures may, but need not, be those proposed by either Buyer or Seller Representative. The Independent Accountants shall be directed to resolve only those issues in dispute and render a written report on their resolution of disputed issues with respect to the Revenue Statement and the Computation Notice as promptly as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after the date on which the Independent Accountants are engaged. The determination of Adjusted Revenues and Purchase Price Reduction Payment by the Independent Accountants will be based solely on written submissions of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller Representative, on the other hand, and will not involve independent review. Any determination by the Independent Accountants will not be outside the range established by the amounts in (i) the Revenue Statement and the computation Adjusted Revenue in the Computation Notice proposed by Buyer, and (ii) Seller Representative’s proposed adjustments thereto. Such determination will be final, binding, and conclusive on the parties.

 

 

 

 

(f)

If the computation of reduction in Purchase Price Amount is submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution:

  

 

(i)

Seller Representative and Buyer shall execute any agreement required by the Independent Accountants to accept their engagement pursuant to this Paragraph 5;

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Seller Representative and Buyer shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that party or its accountants or other representatives, and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants, with a copy to the other party, any other written material relating to the disputed issues;

 

 

 

 

(iii)

the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a report to be delivered by the Independent Accountants to both Seller and Buyer, will include all the changes in the Revenue Statement and the computation of Adjusted Revenue in the Computation Notice required as a result of the determination made by the Independent Accountants; and

 

 

 

 

(iv)

Sellers and Buyer shall each bear one-half of the fees and costs of the Independent Accountants; provided, however, that the engagement agreement referred to in clause (i) above may require the parties to be bound jointly and severally to the Independent Accountants for those fees and costs, and in the event Sellers or Buyer pay to the Independent Accountants any amount in excess of one-half of the fees and costs of their engagement, the other party(ies) agree(s) to reimburse Seller or Buyer, as applicable, upon demand to the extent required to equalize the payments made by Seller and Buyer with respect to the fees and costs of the Independent Accountants.

Purchase Price Reduction Examples Exhibit

 

The following are examples of the calculations for the reduction in Purchase Price:

 

Example 1

 

Assumption:

 

Adjusted Revenues for the Computation Period is $2,300,000

 

Calculation:

 

Minimum Revenue Target

 

$2,500,000

Less: Adjusted Revenues

 

($2,300,000)

Deficit in Adjusted Revenues

 

$200,000

 

 

 

Purchase Price Reduction:

 

$200,000/$2,500,000 X ($3,500,000)= $280,000.

 

Example 2

 

Assumption: Adjusted Revenues for the Computation Period is $2,750,000.

 

Calculation: Because the Adjusted Revenues exceed the Minimum Revenue Target, there is no Purchase Price reduction.

Example:

 

Current Assets:

 

$825,000

Minus: Current Liabilities:

 

($180,000)

Working Capital as of Closing Date:

 

$645,000

 

GAAP has the meaning set forth in Exhibit A of the Agreement.

Objection Statement has the meaning set forth in Paragraph 3(b) of this Appendix.

2. BUYER’S CALCULATION OF CLOSING WORKING CAPITAL. Within ten (10) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer an accurate calculation of Working Capital at Closing that is based on and consistent with Seller’s historical method of income tax basis of accounting. Buyer shall prepare financial statements of the Seller as of the Closing Date in accordance with GAAP (the “Closing Date Financial Statements”), and determine the Working Capital as of the Closing Date in in accordance with GAAP (the “Closing Working Capital”). Buyer shall deliver the Closing Financial Statements and its determination of the Closing Working Capital to Seller within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date.

 

 
Page 54
 

 

3. WORKING CAPITAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE.

 

 

a.

Within ten (10) days after written request for access by Seller, Seller shall be given reasonable access during reasonable business hours to (and copies of) all of Buyer’s applicable books, records, and other documents, including work papers, worksheets, notes, and schedules used in preparation of the Closing Working Capital, other than work papers that Buyer considers proprietary.

 

 

 

 

b.

If within twenty (20) days following delivery of the Closing Working Capital calculation Seller have not given Buyer a written statement (the “Objection Statement”) of its objection as to the Closing Working Capital calculation (which statement shall state the basis of Seller’ objections with reasonable particularity), then the Closing Working Capital calculated by Buyer shall be binding and conclusive on the parties and used to determine the amount owing in accordance with Section 2.4(f) of the Agreement.

 

 

 

 

c.

If, however, Seller duly and timely give Buyer the Objection Statement, and if Seller and Buyer fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to the Closing Financial Statements and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital within thirty (30) days of Buyer's receipt of Seller’ Objection Statement, Seller and Buyer shall submit the issues remaining in dispute (the “Remaining Disputed Issues”) to the Independent Accountants for resolution applying the principles, policies and practices referred to in this Appendix. If Remaining Disputed Issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (i) Seller and Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants; (ii) the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Seller and Buyer within sixty (60) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the Remaining Disputed Issues, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and shall be used in the calculation of the Closing Working Capital; and (iii) fees and costs incurred for such Independent Accountants as a result of such dispute shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller in proportion to the respective amounts of the difference between Seller’s calculation of the Remaining Disputed Issues and Buyer’s calculation of the Remaining Disputed Issues (the “Total Disputed Amount”) which are resolved against them. For example, if with respect to the Remaining Disputed Issues, Buyer calculates Closing Working Capital to be $100x, and Seller calculates Closing Working Capital to be $150x (so that the Total Disputed Amount is $50x); and the Independent Accountants determine that Closing Working Capital is $140x ($10x is resolved against Seller, and $40x is resolved against Buyer), then the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountants would be allocated 80% to Buyer (i.e., $40x/$50x) and 20% (i.e., $10x/$50x) to Seller.

SCHEDULE 3.10

 

Financial Information

 

(a) Seller has delivered to Buyer the following financial statements and the related statements of income for the period then ended (including the notes thereto; collectively, “Financial Statements”):

 

(x) a balance sheet of Seller as of December 31, 2020 (the “Most Recent Year End Balance Sheet”); and

 

(y) balance sheets of Seller for the fiscal years ended December 31 of 2019 and 2020; and

 

(z) a balance sheet of Seller as of June 30, 2021 (the “Interim Balance Sheet”).

 

(b) Additionally, as part of the Financial Statements, the Seller has provided to Buyer the following:

 

(i) sales by customer by item of inventory for fiscal year 2020 and January 1 through July 2021;

 

(ii) customer sales by month for fiscal year 2020 and January 1 through July 2021; and

 

(iii) unaudited inventory analysis, as revised, dated July 31, 2021; and

 

(iv) sales by customer in dollars for January 1 through July 2021. The Financial Statements are attached to this Agreement as Schedule 3.10.

 

 
Page 65
 

 

SCHEDULE 3.10(c)

 

Financial Information

 

The Financial Statements of Seller (including the Interim Balance Sheet) have been prepared from and are in accordance with the historical accounting policies, assumptions, methodologies and practices of Seller, consistently applied, which (i) are consistent with the accounting records of Seller; and (ii) do not materially differ from GAAP.

 

The main difference between the “book” VitaMedica balance sheet (as historically presented) and a “GAAP” basis balance sheet includes the following:

 

Reserve for Bad Debt – Uncollectible Accounts Expense

No reserve has been established for bad debt.

Bad debt expense by year:

Jan-July 2021: $0

2020: $0

2019: $484.00

 

Reserve for Customer Refunds

No reserve has been established for Customer Refunds/Credit Memos.

Cash Refunds/Credit Memos as a % of Net Sales by year:

Jan-July 2021: 1.9% of E-Commerce Sales/0.3% of wholesale sales

2020: 1.7% of E-Commerce Sales/1.0% of wholesale sales

2019: 1.6% of E-Commerce Sales/0.5% of wholesale sales

 

Tax vs. Book Depreciation

Refer to the “book” (straight line) & “tax” depreciation schedules.

As of 12/31/20 there was a difference of only $19,987 in the accumulated depreciation amounts.

 

Accrued Compensation & PTO

These amounts have already been determined and accounted for a current liability.

 

Deferred Rent

GAAP requires that the TOTAL cost of a lease (over its entire life) be deducted on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as opposed to being deducted as the rent is paid (tax basis).

Over the life of the lease the TOTAL lease expense for GAAP purposes and tax basis is the same.

It is a timing difference calculation only and not one that impacts the net working capital calculation.
