FIRST AMENDMENT TO

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

 

First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “First Amendment”), dated as of March 31, 2023 by and between Renovo Resource Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and Kingfish Holding Corporation (the “Purchaser”), a Delaware corporation.

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 28, 2022 (the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into the Purchaser (the “Merger”) at the Effective Time, with the Purchaser being the surviving corporation;

 

WHEREAS, the Purchaser is required to file a Super Form 8-K with the SEC within four Business Days after the Effective Date;

 

WHEREAS, due to the unanticipated length of time that it has taken for the independent auditors to prepare the necessary audited financial statements for the Company, as well as other factors, the Company has been unable to provide the Purchaser with all of the information concerning the Company necessary for the Purchaser to prepare the Super Form 8-K required to be with the SEC within a reasonable period of time prior to the Outside Termination Date (March 31, 2023);

 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that as a result of such unforeseen delay, it would be in the best interests of their respective shareholders to amend the Merger Agreement to revise the Outside Termination Date to May 31, 2023;

 

WHEREAS, the Company did not consummate its acquisition of 6, LLC prior to the February 23, 2023 maturity date of 6 LLC’s loan with Hancock Whitney Bank (“Bank Loan”) and, as a result, the Bank Loan was not assumed by the Company prior to such maturity date;

 

WHEREAS, as a consequence of the failure the Company to assume the Bank Loan or 6, LLC’s pay off the Bank Loan prior to the such maturity date, 6 LLC and the Company were in default of the Bank Loan and were required to negotiate a revised loan agreement with Hancock Whitney Bank, resulting in the payment of a $6,000 fee for a loan extension and an increase in the interest rate thereon from 4% to 6.5%;

 

WHEREAS, the revised terms of the Bank Loan and the costs of the extension has adversely affected the economic impact of the Merger anticipated by the parties, the parties have agreed that the Exchange Ratio should be reduced to compensate the Purchaser for this adverse impact;

 

 WHEREAS, as a result of the foregoing, the parties have agreed to reduce the Exchange Ratio to Six Thousand (6,000) shares of Purchaser Common Stock, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, in to which each share of Company Common Stock will be converted at the Effective Time; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties also have agreed to change the persons who will be appointed to the Purchaser Board, effective immediately after the Effective Time.

 

 

 

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by all parties, the parties hereby agree as follows:
