Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On July 30, 2018, Solbright Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Iota Networks, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), M2M Spectrum Networks, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“M2M”), and Spectrum Networks Group, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company and the majority member of M2M (“Spectrum”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into M2M (the “Merger”), a dedicated Internet of Things (IoT) network access and IoT solutions company, with M2M continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company plans to change its name to “Iota Communications, Inc.” (the “Name Change”), a name which will more accurately reflect the combined company’s business focus.

 

Upon consummation of the Merger, it is anticipated that there will be a change in control of the Company, with the former owners of M2M effectively acquiring control of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger:

 

 

M2M’s 90,925,518 common equity units will be exchanged for an aggregate of 128,580,433 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”);

 

 

M2M’s 14,559,737 profit participation units will be exchanged for an aggregate of 14,686,199 shares of the Company’s Common Stock; and

 

 

Warrants to purchase 1,372,252 common equity units of M2M will be exchanged for warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,993,273 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.35 per share.

 

The parties intend for the Merger to qualify as a tax-free exchange under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The closing of the Merger is subject to the completion of certain restructuring transactions by M2M and Spectrum, approval by holders of more than 50% of the Company’s Common Stock, appointment of certain officers and execution of employment agreements with those officers, and other customary closing conditions.

 

The Merger Agreement may be terminated (a) at any time by mutual consent of the parties; (b) automatically, if the Merger does not close by September 30, 2018, as such date may be extended by mutual consent of the parties; (c) by the Company if it receives an unsolicited, bona fide written offer by a third-party that the Company’s board of directors (“Board”) determines, in its good faith judgment, would result in a transaction that is more favorable to Company’s stockholders than the Merger; provided, however, that such termination (i) would require the Company to pay Spectrum a $2,000,000 break-up fee, plus legal and professional fees incurred in connection with the Merger and related transactions, and (ii) may not be exercised by the Company following receipt of the approval of the Merger by the holders of more than 50% of the Company’s Common Stock; (d) by operation of law; or (e) by either party if the other party breaches or fails to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations under the Merger Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the other party contained in the Merger Agreement is determined to be inaccurate prior to the closing of the Merger.

The issuance of the securities in connection with this transaction is exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act”), as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.
