BUSINESS ACQUISITION

11. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

On November 8, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with VoltH2 Holdings AG (“VoltH2”), a Swiss corporation, and the other shareholders of VoltH2 (each, a “Seller”, and together, the “Sellers”) pursuant to which we acquired VoltH2 (the “Acquisition”). VoltH2 is a European-based developer of clean hydrogen production facilities for the supply of commercial offtake volumes of clean hydrogen to manufacturers, gas and power traders, industrial consumers, and both heavy and marine transportation sectors that have pivoted away from carbon emitting energy sources and fuels.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we acquired an 84.1% interest of VoltH2, and together with our existing 15.9% ownership interest, we now own 100% of VoltH2. The Acquisition was completed in exchange for 8,409,091 shares of our common stock (the “Consideration Shares”). The market price of the shares was $11 on the closing date of November 8, 2021. In connection with the Acquisition, we also entered into an indemnification escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with one of the Sellers providing for the periodic release of up to 1,768,182 of the Consideration Shares (the “Escrowed Shares”) and a pledge and security agreement (the “Pledge and Security Agreement”) to grant to us a continuing security interest in the Escrowed Shares to secure such Seller’s indemnity obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

 

The VoltH2 acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition with no step up basis due to the 15.9% ownership of VoltH2 by Vision Hydrogen Corporation prior to the acquisition and due to VoltH2 being an early stage company that has not generated revenues and lacks outputs. Since this transaction is not an acquisition of a business but yet a transfer of long lived assets (primarily) between two non-operating companies there is no step up in basis allowed. Both of the entities are non-operating entities and the fair value business combination rules do not apply. When related parties are involved, the SEC generally will not permit the recognition of gain in the transferor’s financial statements or a step-up in basis on the transferee’s books for sales or transfers of long-lived assets. No exceptions are permitted on transactions between a parent company and a subsidiary or between subsidiaries of the same parent, other than in regulated industries when a nonregulated subsidiary sells manufactured goods to a regulated affiliate. The acquisition consideration consisted of 8,409,091 shares of Vision Hydrogen Corporation common stock granted on the acquisition date of November 8, 2021 at a closing market price of $11. A deemed dividend for the excess share price over cost basis of the net assets of ($1,340,426) was recorded in the amount of $93,840,427.

 

There was no acquisition related costs for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
