ITEM 8.01
OTHER EVENTS
 
On April 2, 2024, Boston Omaha Corporation (“Boston Omaha” or the “Company”) entered into agreements with the minority members of each of FIF Utah LLC and FIF St. George, LLC, entities controlled by Boston Omaha as majority member, which are engaged in the delivery of broadband services.  Under these agreements, the minority members of each of the entities, which were originally the owners of the related businesses acquired by Boston Omaha in 2020 and 2022, respectively, exchanged their membership interests in the LLCs for unregistered shares of Boston Omaha Class A common stock.  Under the securities exchange agreements, Alpine Networks, Inc., a company owned by Steven McGhie, the Chief Executive Officer of Boston Omaha Broadband, and the sole owner of the minority interest in FIF Utah, LLC, exchanged its approximate 17% interest in FIF Utah, LLC for 275,611 shares of Boston Omaha Class A common stock, which for purposes of the transaction was valued at approximately $4,400,000. The two owners of the minority interests in FIF St. George, LLC exchanged their combined 20% interest in FIF St. George, LLC for 563,750 shares of Boston Omaha Class A common stock, which for purposes of the transaction was valued at approximately $9,000,000. In each transaction, the value for the unregistered Boston Omaha Class A common stock was calculated based on the volume weighted average trading price of a share of Boston Omaha Class A common stock for the 30 trading days ended March 28, 2024 as reported on the New York Stock Exchange. As a result, Boston Omaha Broadband, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boston Omaha, now owns 100% of the membership interests in each of FIF Utah LLC and FIF St. George, LLC. Under the original operating agreements established for each of FIF Utah LLC and FIF St. George, LLC, each of the sellers and Boston Omaha held put and call rights for the sellers' membership interests. The securities exchange agreements are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Report on Form 8-K.
