The transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the “Transactions”) closed on July 9, 2020, the day after a sale order approving the Transactions was entered by the Bankruptcy Court (defined below). The Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Ample Hills sold, transferred and assigned to Buyer, or one or more of its affiliates, the Acquired Assets (as defined in the Agreement) and Buyer, or one or more of its affiliates, assumed the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Agreement) for a purchase of $1.0 million. The Asset Acquisition includes the following assets, among other things, Ample Hills’ equipment, inventory, and all intellectual property, including the names and marks of “AMPLE HILLS” and “AMPLE HILLS CREAMERY” and all derivatives thereof. Pursuant to the Agreement, Buyer also paid an additional approximately $1.0 million to certain landlords of Ample Hills in exchange for the right to assume leases with such landlords. The Transactions were funded by the Company with cash on hand and will be accounted from in accordance with ASC 805 – Business Combinations. The Ample Hills entities are debtors-in-possession under title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. pursuant to voluntary petitions for relief filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on March 15, 2020 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Transactions were conducted through a Bankruptcy Court-supervised process, subject to Bankruptcy Court-approved bidding procedures, approval of the Transactions by the Bankruptcy Court, and the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. The Agreement contained certain customary representations and warranties made by each party. Buyer and Ample Hills agreed to various customary covenants, including, among others, covenants regarding the conduct of the Ample Hills businesses prior to the closing of the Transactions and covenants requiring Buyer and Ample Hills to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain certain third-party and governmental consents, approvals or other authorizations required in connection with the Transactions. *Tender Offer* On July 21, 2020 – Schmitt Industries, Inc. announced the final results of its previously announced cash tender offer to purchase up to $2.5 million of Schmitt’s common stock at a price per share not less than $3.00 and not greater than $3.25 (the “Offer”). Based on the final count by Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the depositary for the Offer, the Company has accepted for purchase 72,159 shares of Schmitt’s common stock, for an aggregate cost of approximately $234,516, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Offer. Since the Offer was not fully subscribed, no proration was required and all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn were accepted for purchase. The depositary will promptly issue payment for the shares purchased. The shares purchased represent approximately 1.9% of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding as of July 20, 2020. Following consummation of the Offer, the Company has 3,784,554 shares of common stock outstanding. *Paycheck Protection Program Loan* On August 3, 2020, Schmitt Industries received loan proceeds in the amount of $584,534 and returned $264,476 of the funds received and Ample Hills received $1,471,022, as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The loan was granted as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), and provides qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks, as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period. The PPP loan transactions will be accounted for in accordance with ASC 470. The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, we cannot assure you that we will not take actions that could cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or in part.
