Acquisition

Note 7 – Acquisition

On January 27, 2021, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, AgEagle Sensor Systems, Inc., we acquired 100% of MicaSense, Inc. from Parrot Drones S.A.S. and Justin B. McAllister. MicaSense is based in Washington and manufactures and sells its patented, high precision thermal and multispectral sensors, serving the aerial mapping and analytics needs of the agriculture market. In addition, MicaSense’s patented technologies are well positioned to address applications in advanced inspection in the energy and insurance sectors and autonomous flight safety for package delivery, among other solutions. MicaSense’s high performance proprietary products, including Altum, RedEdge-MX, RedEdge-MX Blue and Atlas Flight, have global distribution in 70 countries. The aggregate purchase price for the shares of MicaSense was $23,000,000, less any debt and subject to a customary working capital adjustment. A portion of the consideration is comprised of shares of common stock of the Company, having an aggregate value of $3,000,000 based on a volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock over a ten consecutive trading day period prior to the date of issuance of the shares of Common Stock to the Seller on April 27, 2021 in the amount of 540,541 restricted shares of Common Stock. The consideration is also subject to a $4,750,000 holdback to cover any post-closing indemnification claims and to satisfy any purchase price adjustments. The holdback is scheduled to be released in two equal installments, less any amounts paid or reserved for outstanding indemnity claims, on March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

The Company filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 10, 2021. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after the filing date, but in any event no later than 90 days after the filing date, and shall use its best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act (including by preparing and filing with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary) until all Shares and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of. The Sellers are required to reimburse the Company up to $50,000 for reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such registration.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including representations and warranties by the Sellers with respect to MicaSense’s business, operations and financial condition. The Purchase Agreement also includes post-closing covenants relating to the confidentiality and employee non-solicitation obligations of the Sellers, and the agreement of the Sellers not to compete with certain aspects of the business of MicaSense following the closing of the transaction. The completion of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others: (i) the absence of a material adverse effect on MicaSense, (ii) the delivery by the parties of certain ancillary documents, including the Registration Rights Agreement, and (iii) the execution by a key employee of MicaSense of an employment agreement. Subject to certain limitations, each of the parties will be indemnified for damages resulting from third party claims and breaches of the parties’ respective representations, warranties, and covenants in the Purchase Agreement.

The fair value of the purchase consideration was allocated to the preliminary fair value of the net tangible assets acquired and to the separately identifiable intangible assets. The excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible assets and identified intangible assets has been treated as goodwill in accordance with ASC 805.

The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. Using the total consideration for the Acquisition, the Company has estimated the allocations to such assets and liabilities.

The preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include (1) changes in fair values of tangible assets; (2) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as trade names, developed technology and customer relationships, as well as goodwill; and (3) other changes to assets and liabilities.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date of January 27, 2021:
