Item 2.01Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On April 30, 2015, the Company completed its repurchase of eight franchises in San Diego County, California (the “Repurchase Transaction”). In a related transaction, the Company completed its termination of nine franchise agreements for franchises that were to be located in Los Angeles County, California region (the “Termination Transaction”). The repurchase of eight franchises was from an entity affiliated with the entity that owned the franchises terminated under the Termination Transaction.

 

The Repurchase Transaction was accomplished pursuant to an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and San Diego Joint Development, Inc., a California corporation (“Seller”), Stephanie McRae, and Elizabeth McRae. Seller was a franchisee under franchise agreements with the Company. The transaction involved the repurchase of two operating franchises and six undeveloped franchises from the Seller. The Company intends to operate the two operating franchises to manage two Joint clinics as Company-owned franchises.

 

The Termination Transaction was accomplished pursuant to a Franchise Agreement Termination and Reinstatement Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) between the Company, Stephanie McRae, and South Bay Joint Development, Inc. (“South Bay”). The transaction involved the termination of nine franchise agreements, all for undeveloped franchises and the reinstatement of one of the terminated franchise agreements.

 

The total consideration for the Repurchase Transaction and the Termination Transaction (collectively, the “Transactions”) was $631,000, $550,100 of which was funded from the proceeds of the Company’s recent initial public offering (IPO), and $89,900 of which was funded with a promissory note.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Transactions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the Purchase Agreement and the Termination Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
