Item
2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of
Assets.
As
previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 2017 by Aemetis,
Inc. (the “Company”), on July 10, 2017, the Company
entered into an option agreement with Goodland Advanced Fuels, Inc.
(“GAFI”) and Michael L. Peterson, the sole shareholder
of GAFI (the “Shareholder”), pursuant to which the
Shareholder granted to the Company an irrevocable option (the
“Option”) to purchase all, but not less than all, of
the capital stock of GAFI (the “Shares”) owned by the
Shareholder for a purchase price equal to $0.01 per share. On
December 31, 2019, the Company exercised the Option pursuant to its
terms, and for aggregate consideration of $10.00, purchased all of
the capital stock of GAFI. GAFI’s primary assets consist of a
partially completed ethanol plant in Goodland, Kansas. As
previously discussed in the Company’s periodic reports, the
Company has determined that, even prior to the purchase of the
Shares, it had the power to direct the activities, and was the
primary beneficiary, of GAFI. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities,
and operations of GAFI were consolidated into those of the Company
as presented in the financial statements and the accompanying notes
filed by the Company with its periodic reports, including its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
2019 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2018.
