Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On July 20, 2015, Drone Aviation Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), closed an asset purchase agreement (the “ Asset Purchase Agreement ”) for the purchase of substantially all the assets of Adaptive Flight, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“ AFI ”). The Asset Purchase Agreement was entered into by and among the Company, AFI, the shareholders of AFI, and Drone AFS Corp., a Nevada corporation formed by the Company for the purpose of effecting the asset purchase (the “ Acquisition Sub ”).

 

AFI was in the business of designing and developing flight control systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (the “ Business ”). The Company has purchased assets (the “ Purchased Assets ”) integral to AFI’s Business, including but not limited to intellectual property, customer contracts databases, sales pipelines, proposals and project files, licenses and permits (“ Licenses and Permits ”) and certain contracts (the “ Purchased Contracts ”). Among the Purchased Assets are commercial software licenses for the “GUST” (Georgia Tech UAV Simulation Tool) autopilot system, and other transferable licenses which include flight simulation and fault tolerant flight control algorithms, as well as dedicated hardware (flight computer) and additional related hardware and airframes.

 

The Company acquired the Purchased Assets in consideration for i) $100,000, less fees related to AFI’s registered intellectual property due and unpaid by AFI upon the closing of the APA (the “ Closing Cash ”), such Closing Cash to be paid directly to AFI, ii) $100,000 (the “ Escrow Cash ”), to be held in escrow, and iii) 6,000,000 unregistered shares (the “ Escrow Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value (“ Common Stock ”) issued to AFI or its designees, which will be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement (the “ Escrow Agreement ”).

 

In conjunction with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Escrow Agreement provides that the Escrow Cash and the Escrow Shares will be held in escrow for the purpose of satisfying any liabilities and offsetting costs incurred in the integration of AFI’s technology with the Company’s business, and to secure any indemnifiable claims that may arise after the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, for a period of twelve months.

 

The Escrow Agreement includes descriptions of certain milestones (the “Milestones”), the non-completion of which may result, after twelve months from the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, in the return of the Purchased Assets to AFI and the termination of the Company’s obligations to release the Escrow Cash and the Escrow Shares to AFI. One such Milestone is the completion of a Technology Integration Plan (the “ Technology Integration Plan ”). The Company aims, through the Technology Integration Plan, to develop and commercialize the Purchased Assets, in part through the retention of consultants who have been key contributors to AFI’s Business. The other Milestones are i) that the Company shall have received proof of all third party consents required to authorize the assignment to and assumption by the Acquisition Sub of the Purchased Contracts, and ii) that the Acquisition Sub shall receive an exclusive, no-cost and perpetual license to all contributing intellectual property included in or related to the Purchased Assets duly executed by certain parties, as enumerated in the Escrow Agreement. At such time that all Milestones are met, one-half (1/2) of the Escrow Shares will be released to AFI. Upon the termination of the Escrow Agreement, anticipated to be twelve months from the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, if all Milestones have been met, the remaining Escrow Shares will be released to AFI; but if all Milestones have not been met, the Escrow Cash and all Escrow Shares will be released to the Company, and the Purchased Assets will be returned to AFI.

The Asset Purchase Agreement and the Escrow Agreement provide further that if on the termination date of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Shares have a value of less than $1,400,000 (minus the value of any Escrow Shares released to the Company pursuant to indemnification claim(s)), then the Company will issue an additional number of unregistered shares of Common Stock to AFI or its designee(s), as needed to provide a value of $1,400,000 (the “ True-up Shares ”), provided that in no event will the Company be required to issue more than two million True-Up Shares. The Escrow Shares will also be subject to the terms of a twelve-month lock-up agreement (the “ Lock-up Agreement ”), pursuant to which AFI or its designee(s) are prohibited from selling, transferring, swapping or disposing of any of the Escrow Shares in any way.

 

Apart from the consideration described above, the Company agreed in the Asset Purchase Agreement to make payments of up to $25,000, on behalf of AFI, to consultants as agreed upon by AFI and the Company. Such consultants will be retained by the Company, pursuant to the execution of consulting agreements (each, a “ Consulting Agreement ”), each for an initial term of one year in connection with the execution of the Technology Integration Plan.

 

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Acquisition Sub assumed all obligations under the Purchased Contracts and Licenses and Permits, to the extent transferable, under a Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “ Assignment Agreement ”) by and among the Company, the Acquisition Sub and AFI. The Company acquired the intellectual property and related rights and claims included in the Purchased Assets by way of an Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement (the “ IP Assignment ”).

 

The Company has obtained non-exclusive, no-cost and perpetual licenses to all contributing intellectual property related to the Purchased Assets, in fulfillment of a Milestone, which license has been conveyed by way of license agreements (the “ License Agreements ”) duly executed by such third parties as are enumerated in the Escrow Agreement.

 

The Company issued the Escrow Shares in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506 of Regulation D.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Escrow Agreement, Lock-up Agreement, Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement, IP Assignment, License Agreement and Consulting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete texts attached as exhibits hereto.

The Purchase Price consists of a $200,000 cash payment and shares of the Parent’s common stock (“ Common Stock ”). The Common Stock issued as part of the purchase price are subject to this Lockup Agreement. Pursuant to its rights under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Sellers designated the undersigned to be the beneficial owner of certain shares of the Common Stock identified in the signature block hereto (the “ Subject Shares ”).

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

1. In recognition of the benefit that the Transactions will confer upon the undersigned, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees, for the benefit of the Parent and Buyer, that, during the period beginning on the Closing Date of the Asset Purchase Agreement and ending twelve (12) months after such date (the “ Lock-Up Period ”), the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, hedge, pledge, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or sell (or announce any offer, sale, offer of sale, contract of sale, hedge, pledge, sale of any option or contract to purchase, purchase of any option or contract of sale, grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase or other sale or disposition), or otherwise transfer or dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future), any of the Subject Shares beneficially owned, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), by the undersigned on the date hereof or hereafter acquired or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of any of the Subject Shares, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of any of the Subject Shares (each of the foregoing, a “ Prohibited Sale ”).

 

2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 hereof, the undersigned (and any transferee of the undersigned) may transfer any Subject Shares (i) by will or as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that prior to such transfer the donee or donees thereof agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein, (ii) to non-profit organizations qualified as charitable organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (iii) if such transfer occurs by operation of law, such as rules of descent and distribution or statutes governing the effects of a merger, (iv) to any member of the undersigned, or (v) to any trust, partnership, corporation or other entity formed for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of any transferee of the undersigned, provided that prior to such transfer a duly authorized officer, representative or trustee of such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, provided that prior to such transfer the transferee executes an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding any Subject Shares subject to the provisions of this Lockup Agreement. In addition, the foregoing shall not prohibit privately negotiated transactions, provided the transferees agree, in writing, to be bound to the terms of this Lockup Agreement for the balance of the Lockup Period. This Lockup Agreement shall not restrict the sale of the Subject Shares to the Parent or an Affiliate of the Parent.

 

 
 

 

3. This Lockup Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

4. This Lockup Agreement will become a binding agreement among the undersigned as of the date hereof. This Lockup Agreement may be terminated by the mutual agreement of the Parent, the Buyer and the undersigned, and if not sooner terminated will terminate upon the expiration date of the Lockup Period. This Lockup Agreement may be duly executed by facsimile and in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

Drone Aviation Holding Corp. Acquires Exclusive Commercial Rights to UAV Autopilot System Created at Georgia Institute of Technology

 

Licensed Technology Enables Development and Commercialization of New Robotic Platforms for Unmanned and Autonomous Vehicles

 

JACKSONVILLE, FL and ATLANTA, GA – July 20, 2015 – Drone Aviation Holding Corp. (OTCQB: DRNE) (DAC), manufacturer of lighter-than-air aerostats and tethered drones, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire exclusive commercial software licenses for the “GUST” (Georgia Tech UAV Simulation Tool) autopilot system from Adaptive Flight, Inc. Through the purchase of the assets of privately held Adaptive Flight Inc. (AFI), DAC is assuming the transferable licenses from the Georgia Tech Research Corporation which include flight simulation tools and fault tolerant flight control algorithms. In addition, DAC will acquire AFI’s dedicated flight computer and additional related hardware and airframes.

 

Dr. Eric N. Johnson, co-founder of AFI and the Lockheed Martin Associate Professor of Avionics Integration at Georgia Tech’s School of Aerospace Engineering, stated, “GUST is the basis of the unmanned aircraft systems flight research capability developed to perform research at Georgia Tech for a variety of sponsors since 2001 which has also been utilized by AFI since 2007 for commercial unmanned systems. I look forward to working with DAC on the continued commercialization of this critical enabling technology and realizing the many benefits that will result from the fusion of advanced control systems and vision-based technologies for unmanned vehicles by enhancing reliability and enabling new missions.”

 

Jay Nussbaum, Chairman of Drone Aviation, added, “The GUST autopilot will deliver immediate value to DAC by enhancing our WATT tethered drones and expan ding our market to include autonomous vehicles across a spectrum of defense-related and civilian products. This technology adds valuable intellectual property that would take years and considerable investment to reproduce and enables our long-term growth plans vital to our remaining at the forefront of unmanned vehicle development.”

 

AFI’s assets include flight control technologies for both single and multi-rotor Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) and Fixed-Wing (FW) UAVs. In addition to the GUST simulation tool, AFI’s technology include s an adaptive guidance and flight control architecture which forms a complete autopilot with vision-based estimation and control capabilities. This autonomous autopilot technology was recently demonstrated at the annual American Helicopter Society (AHS) International MAV Challenge in Virginia Beach, VA. where the Georgia Tech School of Aerospace Engineering entry took first place successfully demonstrating their drone's ability to take off from a helipad and using no external aides, autonomously find a target in a search area and return to its original launch location.
