All the parties hereinafter are referred to as the "Parties."
BACKGROUND:
A. The Boards of Directors of AA and Monster Entities have determined that an acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares in Monster Entities by AA through a share exchange ("Share Exchange") upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, would be fair and in the best interests of AA and Monster Entities, respectively, and the Boards of Directors of AA and Monster Entities have approved such Exchange, pursuant to which all of the ownership interests in Monster Entities (the "Shares") will be exchanged for 300,000,000 shares of common stock of AA (the "Exchange Shares") to be issued by AA.
B. AA has 21,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this agreement, of which 20,000,000 being held by insiders and 1,000,000 being held by investors in the 419 offering.
C. AA and Monster Entities desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Share Exchange and also to prescribe various conditions to the Share Exchange.
D. For federal income tax purposes, the Parties intend that the Share Exchange shall qualify as reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE SHARE EXCHANGE
1.01 Share Exchange. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, and in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes ("Nevada Statutes"), at the Closing (as hereinafter defined), the Parties shall do the following:
(a) Each stockholder and member of Monster Entities will sell, convey, assign, and transfer all of the Shares he or she currently owns in Monster Entities to AA by delivering to AA executed and transferable ownership interests. The ownership interests transferred to AA at the Closing shall constitute 100% of all issued and outstanding ownership interests in Monster Entities.
Exhibit 2.1 -- Page 1
(b) As consideration for its acquisition of the ownership interests, AA shall issue a sum of additional three hundred million (300,000,000) shares of its common stock to the current stockholders of Monster Entities pro rata in the respective amounts as listed on Schedule 1.01 by delivering share certificates to each stockholder and member of the Monster Entities evidencing the Exchange Shares (the "Exchange Shares Certificates").
(c) An aggregate of 5,000,000 of the shares of common stock (the "Cancellation Shares") currently held by AA insiders shall be canceled.
(d) For federal income tax purposes, the Share Exchange is intended to constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and the Parties shall report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement consistent with such intent and shall take no position in any Tax filing or legal proceeding inconsistent therewith. The Parties to this Agreement hereby adopt this Agreement as a "Plan of Reorganization" within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Neither AA nor Monster Entities has taken or failed to take, and after the Effective Time (as defined below), AA shall not take or fail to take, any action which reasonably could be expected to cause the Share Exchange to fail to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
The Share Exchange shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the Nevada Statutes.
However, each individual Party of this Agreement is encouraged to seek tax advice from tax experts respecting the tax consequences on each individual of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This subsection (d), by no means, constitutes a tax opinion for any Parties involved in the transactions contemplated herein.
1.02 Closing. Unless this Agreement is terminated and the transactions herein contemplated are abandoned pursuant to Article VI and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article V, the closing of the Share Exchange (the "Closing") will take place at 10:00 a.m. U.S. Pacific Standard Time on the later of the business day upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article V or February 23, 2018 (or as soon as practicable thereafter following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article V) (the "Closing Date"), at the offices of EAD Law Group, LLC, unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by the Parties hereto; provided that, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Closing shall not take place until the completion of a reconfirmation offering by the 419 investors in which at least 80% vote to approve the Share Exchange.
1.03 Effective Time of Share Exchange. As soon as practicable following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article V, the Parties shall make all filings or recordings required under Nevada Statutes and the securities law, including without limitation the filing of articles of exchange with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Share Exchange shall become effective at such time as is permissible in accordance with Nevada Statutes (the time the Share Exchange becomes effective being the "Effective Time").
