Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
Under the terms of a Management Services Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) that Industrial Services of America, Inc. (the “Company”) and Blue Equity, LLC (“Blue Equity”) entered into on April 1, 2013, Blue Equity provided the Company with day-to-day senior executive level operating management supervisory services. At the time the parties entered into the Management Agreement, the Company (i) issued 125,000 shares of its Common Stock to Blue Equity at a per share purchase price of $4.00, and (ii) granted options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of its Common Stock to Blue Equity at an exercise price per share of $5.00, subject to shareholder approval.
At the annual meeting of shareholders of Industrial Services of America, Inc. on July 16, 2013, shareholders voted not to approve the options to purchase 1,500,000 shares that had been granted to Blue Equity, LLC, and the options terminated.
Following the failure of the Company's shareholders to approve the option grant, Blue Equity delivered a letter to the Company stating that it was terminating the Management Agreement, effective July 31, 2001. Blue Equity has also demanded payment of a monthly management fee of $85,000, along with reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, through July 31, 2013. In addition, Blue Equity has notified the Company of its intention to exercise its right to cause the Company to redeem the 125,000 shares of Common Stock for $4.00 per share, the price at which Blue Equity purchased those shares, payable on September 30, 2013.
On May 7, 2013, the Board of Directors appointed Jonathan S. Blue, Chairman and Managing Director of Blue Equity, to the positions of director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. However, the Board and Mr. Blue were unable to negotiate mutually agreeable terms and conditions of his service in those positions, and Mr. Blue did not accept either position.
For additional information regarding the Management Agreement and the stock options described above, see the Company's previously filed Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 1, 2013.
