 2 
  Exhibit 2.1
page 7 of 36

 

(a)          The Company shall issue an aggregate of such number of shares of its common stock in exchange for the issued and outstanding common stock of UBID to ensure that at the Effective Time the shareholders of the Company shall hold 17.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation or 43,771,555 shares of common stock and the shareholders of UBID shall hold 82.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation or 202,110,632 shares of its common stock. The number of shares of Company common stock issued to each shareholder in accordance with this Section 2.1(a) shall hereafter be referred to as the “Merger Shares.” Each share of UBID’s issued and outstanding common stock shall be converted into and become approximately 11 fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”), par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (the “Company Common Stock”). At the Effective Time, all UBID Securities shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each UBID shareholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Shares.

 

(b)          No fraction of a share of Company Common Stock will be issued, but in lieu of such issuance, each UBID Shareholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Company Common Stock as a result of the conversion and exchange of shares contemplated by this Article II shall receive from the Company one (1) additional share of Company Common Stock. The fractional share interest of UBID Shareholders shall be aggregated such that no UBID Shareholder shall receive more than the one (1) share of Company Common Stock with respect to any interest in fractional shares.

 

2.2.         Exchange of Interests.

 

(a)          Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Island Stock Transfer (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the UBID Shareholders certificates in the names of each such UBID Shareholder evidencing the number of Merger Shares to be issued to such UBID Shareholder in accordance with this Article II. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Company will instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to each holder of UBID Share a letter of transmittal containing instructions for use in effecting the exchange of UBID Shares for certificates evidencing the relevant number of Merger Shares. No interest shall be paid on the Merger Shares. All Merger Shares issued upon exchange of the UBID Share in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock.

 

(b)          It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Merger Shares will bear the legends set forth below:

 

(i)          THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS;

 

 3 
  Exhibit 2.1
page 8 of 36

 

(ii)         Any additional legend required by Applicable Law.

 

The legend set forth in (i) above shall be removed from any certificate evidencing such Merger Shares upon delivery to the Company of an opinion by counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such security can be freely transferred without such a registration statement being in effect and that such transfer will not jeopardize the exemption or exemptions from registration pursuant to which the Company issued such Merger Shares.

 

2.3.          Certain Adjustments. If after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time and to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the outstanding UBID Shares shall be changed into a different number, class or series of shares by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization or combination, forward stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or rights issued in respect of such stock, or any similar event shall occur (any such action, an “Adjustment Event”), the number of Merger Shares issued in exchange for each UBID Share shall be adjusted correspondingly to provide to the UBID Shareholders the right to receive the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement immediately prior to such Adjustment Event.

UBID has made all required estimated Tax payments sufficient to avoid any underpayment penalties. The unpaid Taxes of UBID (A) do not, as of the Closing Date, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect the timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of UBID’s most recent balance sheets (rather than any notes thereto) and (B) do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of UBID in filing, or having filed on its behalf, its Tax Returns. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of UBID in respect of any liability for Taxes (x) based on or measured by net income for any years not finally determined, (y) with respect to which the applicable statute of limitations has not expired or (z) that has been previously deferred, are adequate to satisfy any assessment for such Taxes for any such years.

 

(c)          Audits, Investigations or Claims. There is no dispute or claim which has not been resolved concerning any Tax liability of UBID either (A) claimed or raised by any Taxing authority in writing or (B) as to which any of the directors and officers (and employees responsible for Tax matters) of UBID has Knowledge. There is no currently pending audit of any Tax Return of UBID by any Taxing authority, and UBID has not been notified in writing that any Taxing authority intends to audit any Tax Return of UBID. UBID has not executed any outstanding waivers or consents regarding the application of the statute of limitations with respect to any Taxes or Tax Returns.

 

3.14        Financial Statements.

 

(a)          UBID has delivered to the Company copies of its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and unaudited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (together, the “UBID Financial Statements”). The UBID Financial Statements present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of UBID at the dates and for the periods covered by the UBID Financial Statements. UBID represents and warrants that there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of UBID from that stated in the UBID Financial Statements.

 

(b)          The UBID Financial Statements and any notes related thereto comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements, have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects (subject, in the case of the unaudited interim financial statements, to normal, recurring year-end adjustments none of which are or will be material in amount, individually or in the aggregate) the consolidated financial position of UBID as at the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended.

 

(c)          UBID does not have any direct or indirect liabilities that were not fully and adequately reflected or reserved against on the balance sheet or described in the notes to the audited financial statements of UBID. UBID has no Knowledge of any circumstance, condition, event or arrangement that has taken place at any time that may hereafter give rise to any liabilities.

The books and records, financial and otherwise, of UBID are in all material respects complete and correct and have been maintained in accordance with sound business and bookkeeping practices so as to accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, the transactions and dispositions of the assets and liabilities of UBID.

 

3.16         Intellectual Property. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16, UBID has no Intellectual Property for its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

3.21         Absence of Liabilities. As of December 31, 2017, the date of UBID’s most recent balance sheet, except as set forth on such balance sheet, UBID does not have any debts, liabilities or obligations of any kind, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, which balance sheet shall be updated as of the Closing Date.

UBID AND INCUMAKER DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES

 

Schedule 3.13(a) uBID has not filed any federal or state tax returns since 2012 but is preparing those tax returns and expects to have them filed within 30 calendar days from the Closing Date.

 

Schedule 4.10 On December 17, 2017, a lawsuit that had been dismissed by the plaintiff on July 21, 2017, was refiled against the Company pursuant to Georgia's renewal statute (O.C.G.A. 9-2-61), titled Oelshlager v. Cryomist II, Cryomist III and Incumaker, Inc. (Fulton County Georgia State Court). The lawsuit alleges that Incumaker is liable for the conduct of its subsidiary on the theory that it is the parent of these separate corporations and that the Cryomist Companies were merely the alter ego of Incumaker. The Company plans to vigorously defend itself against this lawsuit. 

 

On May 11, 2018, a lawsuit was filed by Louis Thomson claiming that the Company had failed to reimburse him rent money he paid as the Guarantor under the lease for the Cryomist III premises, located in Buford, Georgia. The Company and Mr. Thomson had entered into a joint venture whereby the Company would purchase from Mr. Thomson all of his shares and interest in Cryomist III. The joint venture included terms whereby the Company would assume the five-year lease pursuant to a Lease Assignment dated February 13, 2014. In addition, Mr. Thomson was to remain as the guarantor of the lease. Cryomist III ceased operations only three months after the execution of the joint venture with several years remaining on the lease. Mr. Thomson negotiated and paid a large settlement to the landlord of the lease for the remaining rent without ever consulting the Company as the principal under the lease. The Company has denied that it is liable for the reimbursement of such rent payments since Mr. Thomson entered into a settlement for the payment of such rent without the Company’s knowledge. The Company has also filed counterclaims against Mr. Thomson for breach of contract and set-off for monies Mr. Thomson owes the Company but refuses to pay. The Company plans to vigorously defend itself against the claims in this lawsuit and to diligently pursue its counterclaims.

 

Schedule 4.5 – See attached Incumaker Debt Schedule

 

Schedule 4.5(c) – 500,000 warrants issued to Street Capital convertible at $0.07 with an exercise termination date of November 11, 2018

 

Schedule 4.18 – The Company has not filed its 2017 Federal and state tax returns which will be filed following receipt by the Company’s tax preparer of the Company’s final audited financial report expected no later than October 31, 2018.
