Exhibit 99.2
Stock Purchase Agreement
This Stock Purchase Agreement (“this SPA”), dated as of May 31, 2012, is entered into between John R. McKowen (“McKowen”), on behalf of himself and other individual investors (collectively, “the Buyers” and individually “a Buyer”), on one hand, and seven individual owners (collectively “the Sellers” and individually “a Seller”) of common stock in Two Rivers Water Company (the “Company”), on the other hand. The designations “Buyer” and/or “Buyers” herein includes two groups of Buyers, namely Initial Buyers and Subsequent Buyers, as those terms are defined herein below. The Buyers and Sellers are sometimes referred to individually as “a Party” and collectively as “the Parties”.
W i t n e s s e t h:
Whereas, the Sellers are the owners, beneficially and of record, of 6,503,570 shares of restricted common stock of the Company (the “Seller Common Stock”); and
Whereas, the Company is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Colorado and a registrant pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 whose shares are traded over-the-counter under the ticker symbol “TURV”; and
Whereas, McKowen is the Company’s chief executive officer, the chairman of its Board of Directors and also a Buyer; and
Whereas, the Sellers desire to liquidate a substantial portion of the Seller Common Stock without unduly disturbing the market, which they perceive as lacking the depth required to absorb a substantial portion of the Seller Common Stock in transactions over a short period of time; and
Whereas, the Buyers desire to purchase for investment a substantial number of shares in the Company without unduly disturbing the market, which they perceive as lacking the depth required to accommodate substantial purchases over a short period of time; and
Whereas, the Company has an interest in accommodating both the Sellers’ interests in gaining partial liquidation of their investments in the Seller Common Stock and the Buyers’ interests in establishing investment positions in the Company through a series of off-market transactions that will avoid unduly disturbing the market for the Company’s shares; and
Whereas, the Sellers have agreed to sell to Buyers 1,667,000 shares of the Seller Common Stock, plus options for an additional 2,668,713 shares of the Seller Common Stock (“Option Shares”), all as more fully described in this SPA; and
Whereas, certain of the Buyers have heretofore completed the process of qualifying to purchase shares of the Seller Common Stock and are ready, willing and able to close on the purchase of 950,000 shares of the Seller Common Stock, plus options for an additional 1,520,862 shares of the Seller Common Stock, promptly upon execution of this SPA (“the Initial Buyers”); and
Whereas, other potential Buyers (“the Subsequent Buyers”) have not yet been identified and/or are not prepared to close as of the date of this SPA but are expected to close on the purchase of up to 717,000 shares of the Seller Common Stock, plus options for an additional 1,147,851 Option Shares within a period of 90 days following the Initial Closing Date (“Subsequent Sales Period”); and
Whereas, as a material inducement for Buyers to enter into this SPA, the Sellers have agreed not to sell any of the Seller Common Stock, except pursuant to the provisions of this SPA, for a period of two years from the Initial Closing Date; and
Whereas, McKowen desires to arrange for the Subsequent Buyers to purchase from the Sellers shares of the Seller Common Stock and associated options in accordance with the terms of this SPA within the Subsequent Sales Period;
Whereas, the Parties mutually desire both to facilitate the Subsequent Buyers’ participation in this SPA and to provide for the possibility that Subsequent Buyers will not purchase up to the full 1,667,000 Units contemplated by this SPA;
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties do hereby agree to the purchase and sale of a portion of the Seller Common Stock, subject to the terms and conditions herein.
I
THE BASIC TRANSACTION
1.01. Terms of the Transactions.
|
|
(a) Within 90 days following the Initial Closing Date (as defined herein), the Buyers, acting through McKowen, will purchase up to 1,667,000 “units” consisting of (i) one share of the Seller Common Stock plus (ii) one A Option [as defined in section 1.01(b)] and (iii) one B Option [as defined in section 1.01(c)] (“a Unit”). The purchase price for each Unit will be one dollar ($1.00). Of the 1,667,000 Units subject to this SPA, the Initial Buyers will purchase 950,000 Units promptly following execution of this SPA by McKowen on behalf of the Buyers, by each of the Sellers, and by each of the Initial Buyers by the execution of Exhibit C. Subject to the registration of restricted Seller Common Stock in the name of each of the Initial Buyers, settlement will take place on the third business day following the trade date. The settlement date on which the Initial Buyers acquire such Units will be the Initial Closing Date.
|
|
|
(b) The A Option gives a Buyer the right to purchase an additional share of Seller Common Stock for an exercise price of two dollars ($2.00) per share on or before the second anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (“the Termination Date”). The form of an A Option is attached to this SPA as Exhibit A. Subject to the provisions of section 3.03, the Sellers hereby instruct Wedbush Securities to set aside a total of 1,667,000 shares of the Seller Common Stock to cover the A Options as allocated among the Sellers in Schedule 1 (defined in section 2.01).
|
|
|
(c) The Buyers’ exercise of all outstanding A Options will become mandatory when, prior to the Termination Date, the following three conditions are met: (i) the Company common shares have been listed on a national exchange for at least 30 trading days; (ii) the closing bid price for Company common shares (adjusted for any splits) has been above three dollars per share for 10 consecutive trading days; and (iii) the average trading volume in the Company common shares has been in excess of 100,000 shares per day for the same 10 consecutive trading days (the “Trigger Date”). Should the conditions precedent to a mandatory exercise occur, the Buyers shall exercise all outstanding A Options within 30 calendar days of the Trigger Date but in no case subsequent to the Termination Date should the 30 day mandatory exercise period extend beyond the Termination Date.
|
|
|
(d) The B Option gives a Buyer the right to purchase 6/10 (six-tenths) of an additional share of Seller Common Stock for an exercise price of three dollars ($3.00) per whole share on or before the Termination Date. The form of a B Option is attached to this SPA as Exhibit B. Subject to the provisions of section 3.03, the Sellers hereby instruct Wedbush Securities to set aside a total of 1,001,713 shares of the Seller Common Stock to cover the B Options as allocated among the Sellers in Schedule 1.
|
|
|
(e) The Sellers hereby agree not to sell any shares of Seller Common Stock, except pursuant to this SPA (including pursuant to the potential release described in section 3.03), until after the Termination Date (“the Seller Lockup Commitment”).
|
|
|
(f) McKowen hereby agrees not to sell any Company common stock (whether acquired pursuant to this SPA or otherwise) prior to the Termination Date without (i) 30 days’ advance written notice to the Sellers of his intention to sell a specified number of Company common stock and (ii) a partial and pro rata release of the Sellers from the Seller Lockup Commitment allowing the Sellers to sell an equivalent number of shares (“the McKowen Lockup Commitment”).
|
|
|
(g) During the term of the Seller Lockup Commitment, the Sellers hereby agree that all of the Seller Common Shares, including the Option Shares but excluding any Residual Shares as set forth in section 3.03, will be voted in conformance with the recommendation of the Company's Board of Directors.
|
|
|
(h) Prior to the Termination Date, the Sellers hereby agree to exercise all non-voting rights accorded to the Option Shares in accordance with the directions of the respective holders of such options, for the benefit of such holders and at the exclusive expense of such holders; provided, however, in the event that option holders decline to direct the exercise of any such non-voting rights for their own benefit then such undirected non-voting rights shall revert to the Sellers on a pro rata basis according to Option Shares allocated in Schedule 1.
|
|
|
(i) Each of the Sellers hereby agrees to pay to Wedbush Securities a facilitation fee (“a Facilitation Fee”) equal to 2% of the proceeds of the sale of that Seller’s Seller Common Stock at the Initial Closing Date and at each Subsequent Closing Date (defined herein) and in the event of each exercise of A Options and B Options. Each Seller hereby authorizes Wedbush Securities to deduct the Facilitation Fee from the gross proceeds of such sales of Seller Common Stock and to deposit only the net proceeds into the Seller's account. Further, Wedbush Securities will earn a 2% commission (payable by the Seller) on the sale of any Seller Common Stock to any Buyer for a period of three years from the Initial Closing Date.
