Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
   
On May 23, 2018, Digital Power Lending, LLC (“DPL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of DPW Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into and closed a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with I.AM INC. (“I.AM”), David J. Krause and Deborah J. Krause (collectively with David J. Krause, the “I.AM Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, I.AM sold to DPL, 981 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $981, representing, upon the closing, 98.1% of I.AM’s outstanding common stock.

I.AM owns and operates the Prep Kitchen band restaurants located in the San Diego area. I.AM owes DPL $1,715,363 in outstanding principal, pursuant to a loan and security agreement, between I.AM and DPL, that I.AM used to acquire the restaurants. The Purchase Agreement provides that, as I.AM repays the outstanding loan to DPL in accordance with the loan agreement, DPL will on a pro rata basis transfer shares of common stock of I.AM to  David J. Krause, up to an aggregate of 471 shares.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the parties agreed to negotiate in good faith to enter into a management agreement between I.AM and a separate management company formed and operated by the I.AM Stockholders, by June 29, 2018. In the event the management agreement is not entered into by June 29, 2018, then on July 2, 2018, DPL will return to I.AM for cancellation the shares of common stock of I.AM purchased by DPL, and I.AM will sell such shares to the I.AM Stockholders for a purchase price of $1.00 per share.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
