Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 1, 2018, Merion, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Suss Technology Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell to the Company substantially all of the assets associated with the manufacture of dietary supplements (the “Asset Sale”) for an aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) of $1,000,000 and 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Purchase Shares”). The Seller’s cash and cash equivalents, minute books, stock ledger and other company records, as well as raw materials and customer lists shall remain with the Seller, and the Company will assume the Seller’s obligations under a lease of real property used in the Seller’s business.

 

The issuance and sale of the Purchase Shares will be completed pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The issuance of the Purchase Shares is contingent on the Seller or its designated recipient executing all certificates and other documents reasonably requested by the Company, the completion of the assignment of the assets subject to the Asset Sale (the “Acquired Assets”), and the completion of all applications for relevant business and manufacturing licenses for the Company’s benefit. The payment of the cash portion of the Purchase Price shall occur in two distributions: (i) the first, in the amount of $600,000, shall occur within six months of the date of the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) the second, in the amount of $400,000, shall occur within twelve months of the date of the Purchase Agreement. Each such distribution will be contingent on the completion of the transfer of the Acquired Assets and all permits and other governmental registrations and licenses relating to the Acquired Assets. The second distribution may be reduced by any indemnification claims against Seller under the terms of the Agreement.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreements and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by shareholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is filed with this report only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of transaction, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company. Shareholders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

 

The Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibits 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summary of the terms of the Purchase Agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Purchase Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
