Item 1.01             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On August 21, 2023, MIND Technology, Inc. (the “Company” or "MIND") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with General Oceans AS (“General Oceans”), providing for the sale of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Klein Marine Systems, Inc. (“Klein”). In connection with the SPA, MIND and General Oceans also entered into two software license agreements on August 21, 2023. Under such agreements, MIND has licensed to General Oceans its Spectral Ai software suite (“Spectral Ai”), as well as it's Redwood software development kit, for certain applications, particularly side-scan sonar. The Company and General Oceans also entered into a collaboration agreement on August 21, 2023 for the further development of Spectral Ai and potentially other software projects. The foregoing transactions contemplated by the SPA are referred to as the “Sale of Klein”. The aggregate consideration to the Company consisted of a cash payment of $11.5 million upon closing of the transaction on August 21, 2023.
 
The SPA contains certain customary representations, warranties, and covenants. The SPA also contains customary indemnification provisions pursuant to which the parties agree to indemnify each other for certain matters, including, among other things, breaches of certain representations, warranties and covenants in connection with the Sale of Klein, subject to specified caps and limitations. The Company has also agreed to a covenant that would prohibit the Company from engaging in specified activities that would compete with the Klein business, for a period of five years, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. Completion of the Sale of Klein was subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including a requirement to terminate any liens, including those imposed under the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan”), dated as of February 2, 2023, with Sachem Capital Corp.
 
On August 22, 2023, following the closing of the Sale of Klein, all outstanding amounts due and owed, including principal, interest, and other charges, under the Loan were repaid in full and the Loan was terminated. Upon repayment, the obligations of the Company under the Loan were satisfied in full, the Loan and all related loan documents were terminated, and all liens and security interests granted thereunder were released and terminated.
