Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 2, 2015, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement ("MIPA") with Innovative Solar Systems, LLC, a solar developer operating primarily in North Carolina, to acquire Innovative Solar 42, LLC ("IS 42"), the owner of a 72.9mw AC solar project to be built in Fayetteville, North Carolina. IS 42 holds a single and intangible asset, a 10-year power purchase agreement ("PPA") with Duke Energy Progress, Inc. IS 42 does not have, nor has it ever had, any other assets, any liabilities, any employees, any revenues, or any operations of any kind. As such, IS 42 is not a "business" as defined in the accounting literature, and it has no historical financial statements. PSI agreed to pay Innovative Solar Systems, LLC $5,832,000 for 100% of the membership interest of IS 42 in a series of payments of approximately $300,000 per month between execution of the MIPA and the financial close (the point at which all project financing is arranged), and a balloon payment at financial close sufficient to having cumulatively paid 70% of the $5,832,000 purchase price. The remaining 30% of the purchase price will be paid in installments of $150,000 per month through the project's commercial operation date. A total of $570,000 has been paid to date, and failure by the Company to make any of the future scheduled payments may result in the loss of all payments made through such date. The Company is working with engineering and construction firms on final designs, and the total cost of the project based upon the preliminary work is expected to be approximately $150 million. The Company is in discussion with multiple parties to provide the acquisition, construction, and permanent financing for the project, however, no assurance can be given that adequate financing on terms acceptable, or even available, to the Company will be obtained. Closing of the acquisition is expected to occur no later than August 30, 2015, and construction is expected to be completed in early 2016. Additional terms of the transaction and pertinent documents will be provided when the acquisition of IS 42 closes.

 

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The matter described in Item 1.01 herein includes an obligation to make a series of payments toward the final closing on the acquisition of IS 42.
