  Re:Reverse Acquisition of the Outstanding Stock of Fanattac, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter will confirm that CoConnect, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Buyer”), is interested in acquiring by reverse acquisition all the outstanding capital stock (the “Company Shares”) of Fanattac, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), from the Company’s current shareholders (“Sellers”). In this letter, (a) the Company and its subsidiaries are called the “Acquired Companies,” and (b) Buyer’s possible acquisition of Company Shares (or other acquisition of the Company) is sometimes called the “Proposed Transaction.”

 

PART I.
NONBINDING PROVISIONS

 

The parties wish to commence negotiating a definitive written acquisition agreement providing for the Proposed Transaction (a “Definitive Agreement”). To facilitate the negotiation of a Definitive Agreement, the parties request that Buyer’s counsel prepare an initial draft. The execution of any Definitive Agreement would be subject to the satisfactory completion of Buyer’s ongoing investigation of the Acquired Companies’ business and would also be subject to approval by Buyer’s board of directors.

 

Based upon the information currently known to Buyer, it is proposed that the Definitive Agreement would include the following terms:

 

Section 1.01 Basic Transaction. Sellers will sell all the Company Shares to Buyer at the price (the “Purchase Price”) set forth in Section 1.02 at the closing of the Proposed Transaction (the “Closing”), which is expected to be no later than March 31, 2016. At Closing, (a) the board of directors of Buyer will be reconstituted so that a majority of the members shall be nominees of Sellers and (b) the executive officers of the Company shall be appointed to similar offices of Buyer. At the option of the Company, Bennett Yankowitz would stay on as interim CFO and a director for a period of time to be specified.

 

Section 1.02 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price will be 15,300,000 shares of common stock of the Buyer (“CCON Shares”), which will constitute 67.5% of the total number of outstanding CCON Shares at Closing, on a fully diluted basis, as further described in the Proposal attached to this letter as Exhibit A.

 

 
 

 

Section 1.03 Audited Financial Statements. The Closing will be subject to the condition that the Company shall have provided to Buyer financial statements of the Company, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 and, if the Closing does not occur prior to April 30, 2016, the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and in such form as will enable Buyer’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Company and pro forma financial statements of the Buyer and as will enable Buyer to prepare audited and the Company, in the form required in connection with Buyer’s filing requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in respect of the Proposed Transaction. The Company shall be responsible for the costs of preparing such financial statements in accordance with GAAP, as described above, and the Buyer will be responsible for the costs of auditing such financial statements and preparation of the associated filings with the SEC, including a “Super 8-K” with respect to the Proposed Transaction.

 

Section 1.04 Other Terms.

 

(a) Sellers will make comprehensive representations and warranties to Buyer and will provide comprehensive covenants, indemnities, and other protections for the benefit of Buyer. The consummation of the Proposed Transaction by Buyer will be subject to the satisfaction of various conditions required to be satisfied prior to Closing, which will include, but not be limited to, the following:

 

(i) Sellers will own 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, and the Company Shares will be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances;

 

(ii) There will have been no material adverse change in the business or financial condition of any Acquired Company;

 

(iii) Between the date of the Definitive Agreement and the Closing, Sellers will cause the Acquired Companies to operate their business in the ordinary course and to refrain from any extraordinary transactions;

 

(iv) The truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in the Definitive Agreement;

 

(v) Sellers will have performed or complied in all material respects with all agreements required by the Definitive Agreement to be performed or complied with by him; and

 

(vi) Such other conditions as are customary in transactions of this type.

 

(b) Buyer will make comprehensive representations and warranties to Sellers and will provide comprehensive covenants, indemnities, and other protections for the benefit of Sellers. The consummation of the Proposed Transaction by Sellers will be subject to the satisfaction of various conditions required to be satisfied prior to Closing, which will include, but not be limited to, the following:

 

(i) Buyer shall have closed the “Initial Tranche” placement of its common shares, as described in Exhibit A;

 

(ii) There will have been no material adverse change in the business or financial condition of Buyer;

 

(iii) Between the date of the Definitive Agreement and the Closing, Buyer will operate its business in the ordinary course and to refrain from any extraordinary transactions;

(iv) The truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in the Definitive Agreement;

 

(v) Buyer will have performed or complied in all material respects with all agreements required by the Definitive Agreement to be performed or complied with by it; and

 

(vi) Such other conditions as are customary in transactions of this type.

 

Section 1.05 Equity Financings. As set forth on Exhibit A, the Proposed Transaction will include an engagement by the Company of PacificWave Partners Limited (“PacificWave”) to raise funds by private placements of shares of Buyer’s common stock as follows:

 

(a) An initial placement of 2,200,000 shares of Buyer common stock at $0.60 per share. The $1,320,000 gross proceeds of the placement will be used as follows: $900,000 will be loaned to the Company pursuant to a secured promissory note of the Company, maturing on the Closing date; $132,000 will be paid to PacificWave as a 10% placement fee; and the remaining $288,000 will be retained by Buyer for payment of transaction costs and operating expenses in the ordinary course of business. If the placement has not closed within 30 days after the date the Definitive Agreement is executed, Sellers shall have the right to terminate the Definitive Agreement.

 

(b) A post-Closing placement of of 2,500,000 shares of Buyer common stock at $1.00 per share. The $2,500,000 gross proceeds of the placement will be used as follows: $200,000 will be paid to PacificWave as an 8% placement fee; and the remaining $2,300,000 will be used for general corporate purposes. PacificWave will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to close this placement within 60 days after the Closing.

 

Section 1.06 Tax Structure. in the Definitive Agreement, the Proposed Transaction will be structured for Federal income tax purposes either as an “A reorganization” (i.e., a reverse subsidiary merger) or a “B reorganization” (i.e., a share-for-share exchange), as mutually agreed by Buyer and Sellers.

Section 2.06 Termination. The Binding Provisions will automatically terminate upon the earliest of the following (the “Termination Date”): (i) December 31, 2015, (ii) execution of the Definitive Agreement by all parties, (iii) the mutual written agreement of Buyer and Sellers, or (iv) written notice of termination by Buyer or Sellers, for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, at any time; provided, however, that the termination of the Binding Provisions will not affect the liability of a party for breach of any of the Binding Provisions prior to the termination.
