Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Alanco Energy Services, Inc. (“AES” or “Company”), a new wholly owned subsidiary of Alanco Technologies, Inc., has executed an agreement with TC Operating, Inc. (“TCO”) of Grand Junction, CO, effective April 1,
2012, to transfer the lease for a 20 acre site near Grand Junction, CO and all related assets to AES with the intent for AES to construct facilities for the treatment and disposal of large quantities of produced water
generated by oil and natural gas producers in Western Colorado. The site was chosen due to its unique ability to meet stringent government requirements for disposal of the high saline water produced as a by-product
of oil and gas production, and termed “produced water”. The agreement included the transfer of all related tangible and intangible assets as well as Federal, State and County permits (issued or in process) required to
construct the facilities. The terms of the agreement requires minimum monthly lease payments plus a royalty to be paid to the landlord based upon quantities of water received at the site. In addition, TCO can earn
additional payments based upon a percentage of the net cumulative EBITDA (net of all related AES capital investments) over a period of approximately 10 years, the initial term of the lease. The acreage covered by the
lease may be expanded by up to 50 acres to allow for additional expansion at the site.
AES has also entered into a definitive agreement (“Agreement”) with Deer Creek Disposal, LLC (“DCD”) to acquire a 160 acre site near Grand Junction, CO, for additional expansion to the proposed water disposal
facility. As consideration for the land purchase, AES will pay $500,000 at closing and assume a non interest bearing, secured, $200,000 note due November 15, 2012. AES has also agreed to potential additional earn-
out payments to DCD of up to $800,000, generally based on quarterly revenues in excess of operating expenses. The Company expects the transaction to close within the next few days.
Related to the treatment and disposal facilities, AES has also entered into a management agreement with TCO to manage the project for a monthly management fee. In addition, the Company agreed to pay TCO at
closing up to $85,000 and issue 40,000 shares of Common Stock of Alanco Technologies, Inc. as reimbursement for past expenses in acquiring permits and for past management services.
