Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On April 3, 2018, Zenergy Power & Gas, Inc. (“ZP&G”), a Texas corporation formerly known as Zen Energy Inc., and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zenergy Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) consummated the purchase of 87.37% of the issued and outstanding equity interests (the “Purchased Interests”) of Enertrade Electric, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Enertrade”), from Luccirelli & Gomez, LLC (L&G”) and TCN Holdings, LLC (TCN” and together with L&G, collectively, the “Sellers), pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Equity Interest Purchase Agreement, dated January 20, 2017, by and among ZP&G, Enertrade, the Sellers, and Genaro Gomez Castanares and Donnie Goodwin (the “Principals”), the principals of the Sellers (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Equity Interest Purchase Agreement dated March 20, 2017 and as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Equity Interest Purchase Agreement dated October 31, 2017, collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”). ZP&G, Enertrade, the Sellers and the Principals are referred to collectively as the “Parties”.

 

The aggregate consideration paid by ZP&G for the Purchased Interests was $1,650,000 as adjusted for Enertrade’s closing date working capital, indebtedness and unpaid transaction costs, and consisted of (i) cash consideration of $500,000 which was paid at the closing and (ii) the delivery at the closing of an interest free promissory note in favor of the Sellers (the “Note”) with an original principal amount of $1,150,000. The principal amount of the Note was subject to reduction to the extent that the estimated closing date adjustments exceeded $500,000 and the other adjustments set forth thereunder. The Note is payable in two installments, $650,000 (or 100% of the then outstanding principal balance, if less) is due and payable on July 2, 2018 and the remaining principal balance (subject to adjustments under the Note) is due on November 2, 2018. The Note was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and was offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) or other appropriate exemptions promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made solely for the benefit of the Parties to the Purchase Agreement. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contract among the Parties and as of the specific date (or dates) set forth therein and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the Parties in connection with the negotiated terms. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to investors or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the Parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts of the Sellers, ZP&G, Enertrade or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

 

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations (i) ZP&G agreed to indemnify the Sellers and the Principals against any losses from breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants of ZP&G and claims for brokers and finders fees incurred as a result of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the Sellers and Principals agreed to indemnify ZP&G against any losses for breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Principals and Sellers, any liabilities for taxes and any closing date indebtedness or transaction costs. The representations and warranties generally survive the closing for 18 months, other than the representations of the Sellers with respect to due organization, authority, consent and approval, capitalization and no other representation and warranties, which survive the closing indefinitely and the representations of the Sellers with respect to employee benefit plans, taxes and anti-corruption and trade controls, which survive the closing for 30 days past the applicable statute of limitations. Except for fraud claims and tax matters indemnification is the exclusive remedy for breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants under the Purchase Agreement.
