MicaSense

On January 27, 2021 (the “MicaSense Acquisition Date”), the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “MicaSense Purchase Agreement”) with Parrot and Justin B. McAllister (collectively the “MicaSense Sellers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of MicaSense from the MicaSense Sellers (the “MicaSense Acquisition”). 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 comprises 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 MicaSense Sellers. On April 27, 2021 the Company issued 540,541 restricted shares of its Common Stock. The consideration is also subject to a remaining holdback amount of $2,375,000 as of June 30, 2022 to cover any post-closing indemnification claims and to satisfy any purchase price adjustments. The holdback was 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. The first installment of $2,375,000 was paid on March 31, 2022. See Note 11 – Subsequent Events.

On May 10, 2021, the Company filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement (the “MicaSense Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), covering the resale of the Shares. The MicaSense Registration Statement was declared effective on June 1, 2021 (File Number: 333-255940). In addition, the Company shall use its best efforts to keep the MicaSense 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 MicaSense Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary) until all Shares and other securities covered by the MicaSense Registration Statement have been disposed. The MicaSense Sellers reimbursed the Company for reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such registration.

The MicaSense Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including representations and warranties by the MicaSense Sellers with respect to MicaSense’s business, operations and financial condition. The MicaSense Purchase Agreement also includes post-closing covenants relating to the confidentiality and employee non-solicitation obligations of the MicaSense Sellers, and the agreement of the MicaSense 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 MicaSense 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 MicaSense Purchase Agreement.

The Company performed a valuation analysis of the fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Using the total consideration for the MicaSense Acquisition, the Company determined the allocations to such assets and liabilities. The final purchase price allocation, and the necessary detailed valuations and calculations have been finalized.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price as of the MicaSense Acquisition Date:

On April 19, 2021 (the “Measure Acquisition Date”), the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Measure Purchase Agreement”) with Brandon Torres Declet (“Mr. Torres Declet”), in his capacity as Measure Sellers’ representative, and the sellers named in the Measure Purchase Agreement (the “Measure Sellers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Measure from the Measure Sellers (the “Measure Acquisition”). The aggregate purchase price for the shares of Measure is $45,000,000, less the amount of Measure’s debt and transaction expenses, and subject to a customary working capital adjustment. The purchase price comprised $15,000,000 in cash, and shares of Common Stock of the Company, having an aggregate value of $30,000,000 based on a volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock over a seven consecutive trading day period prior to the date of issuance of the shares of Common Stock to the Measure Sellers. The Company issued 5,319,145 shares of Common Stock, in the aggregate, to the Measure Sellers, and paid $5,000,000 of the cash portion of the purchase price ninety days after the closing date of the transaction. As of December 31, 2021, the Company completed the payment of the cash portion of the purchase price. The consideration is also subject to a $5,625,000 holdback to cover any post-closing indemnification claims and to satisfy any purchase price adjustments. The holdback is scheduled to be released October 19, 2022, less any amounts paid or reserved for outstanding indemnity claims and certain amounts subject to employee retention conditions set forth in the Measure Purchase Agreement.

The Measure Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including representations and warranties by the Measure Sellers with respect to Measure’s business, operations and financial condition. The Measure Purchase Agreement also includes post-closing covenants relating to the confidentiality and employee non-solicitation obligations of the Measure Sellers, and the agreement of the Measure Sellers not to compete with certain aspects of the business of Measure following the closing of the transaction. The completion of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to: (i) the absence of a material adverse effect on Measure, (ii) the delivery by the parties of certain ancillary documents, and (iii) the execution by key employees of Measure of employment offer letters. 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 Shares issuable to the Measure Sellers pursuant to the Measure Purchase Agreement were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to a limited number of persons who are “accredited investors” or “sophisticated persons” as those terms are defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC, without the use of any general solicitation or advertising to market or otherwise offer the securities for sale. None of the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws, and none may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements.

The Company 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 estimated the allocations to such assets and liabilities. The final purchase price allocation and the detailed valuations and necessary have been completed.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price as of the Measure Acquisition Date: 

Net purchase price, including debt paid at close	$	45,403,394

On April 19, 2022, in accordance with the terms of the Measure Purchase Agreement, the Company delivered a notice of indemnification to the representative of the Measure Sellers seeking the right to set off certain operating losses from the holdback amount. The Company is claiming that the operating losses incurred by Measure from the Measure Acquisition date through April 19, 2022, resulted from breaches of certain representations and warranties made by the Measure Sellers. The Company is claiming that it has sustained operating losses in excess of $13 million as a result of the Measure Sellers’ breaches and has claimed the entire holdback amount to be applied against these operating losses. The Company has commenced settlement negotiations with the Measure Sellers. The Company intends to vigorously pursue what it believes are meritorious claims and defend its rights under the Measure Purchase Agreement, but Company management is unable to provide assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these claims.
