Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Asset Purchase Agreement

 

Effective August 1, 2021, Grove Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “Grove”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Grove Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Buyer” and, together with the Company, the “Buying Parties”), VitaMedica Corporation, a California corporation (the “Seller”), David Rahm and Yvette La-Garde (each a “Seller Stockholder” and, together with the Seller, collectively, the “Selling Parties”). The Seller is a leading online seller of supplements for surgery, recovery, skin, beauty, health and wellness.

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Buyer agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets of the Seller (the “Transaction”). The purchase price for the sale consists of $500,000 of Grove’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Grove Common Stock”), a non-negotiable promissory note from Grove in favor of the Seller in the original principal amount of $500,000, a non-negotiable convertible promissory note from Grove in favor of the Seller in the original principal amount of $500,000, convertible at the Seller’s option into Grove Common stock at $5.00 per share for a total of 100,000 shares of Grove Common Stock and a cash payment of $2,000,000.

 

Additionally, if the revenues of the Seller’s business during the period commencing on the day of closing and ending on the first anniversary of the closing are less than $2,500,000, then the purchase price shall be reduced as calculated in accordance with a formula set forth in the Agreement. Additionally, the purchase price will be adjusted (positively or negatively) based upon the differences in the book value of the Closing Working Capital (as defined in the Agreement) as compared to a “Benchmark Working Capital” of $573,000.

 

The Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Selling Parties and Buying Parties. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Agreement and are not intended to provide factual, business, or financial information about the Buying Parties and Selling Parties. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties (i) may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, (ii) may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders or different from what a shareholder might view as material, (iii) may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the Buying Parties and Selling Parties, rather than establishing matters as facts, or (iv) may have been qualified by certain disclosures not reflected in the Agreement that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the Agreement and generally were solely for the benefit of the parties to that agreement. The Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the Company that has been, is or will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, documents that the Company files with the SEC.
