From February 27, 2019 through the time of this Report, the Company raised $6,315,000 by selling a total of 63,150 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock via private placements to approximately 25 accredited investors. The Preferred Stock is convertible into 6,315,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per common stock share pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock’s voluntary conversion rights. The Preferred Stock is further described in Item 9B. “Other information” of the Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 13, 2019. In addition, the “Certificate of Designation of the Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Acquired Sales Corp.” is attached as Exhibit “4.4” to the Form 8-K filed on March 4, 2019. The Company’s Form 10-K filed on March 13, 2019 already discloses 23,400 of the 63,150 Preferred Shares reported as sold in this paragraph.

The issuance of the 63,150 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock was made in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Shares are deemed to be restricted shares as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The certificates representing the Shares bear an appropriate restrictive legend.

Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events

Letter of Intent – CBD Lion LLC

On May 8, 2019, Acquired Sales Corp. (the “Company”), Gerard M. Jacobs (“Gerry Jacobs”) and William C. “Jake” Jacobs (“Jake Jacobs”) entered into a Letter of Intent with CBD Lion LLC (“Lion”) and its owners (the “Lion Owners”) to, subject to a number of conditions, acquire 100% of the ownership of Lion (the “Transaction”). The consideration to be paid by the Company in the proposed acquisition of Lion is: two million dollars ($2,000,000) in cash, plus unregistered common stock of the Company (the "Stock Consideration") in an amount that is the greater of: (i) five million (5,000,000) shares or (ii) a number of shares with a value at closing of the Transaction, based on the Company’s share price, equal to 50% of the value of the aggregate consideration deemed paid to the Lion Owners for their ownership interests in Lion, which could hypothetically increase the Stock Consideration to a number significantly higher than five million (5,000,000). The Lion Owners shall have "piggyback registration rights" for the common stock shares underlying the Stock Consideration and "demand registration rights" that are triggered if no registration statement covering the Stock Consideration is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission within 120 days following the closing of the Transaction. In addition, the Letter of Intent requires that at the closing of the Transaction, the Company shall cause up to four hundred sixty-two thousand four hundred thirty dollars ($462,430) of related party debt owed by Lion to be repaid in full.

The terms of the proposed Transaction must be set forth in a definitive agreement. There are no assurances that we will be successful in negotiating an acceptable definitive agreement, when or whether a definitive agreement will be reached between the parties, or that the proposed Transaction will be consummated. Even if a definitive agreement is executed, the terms of the proposed Transaction may change materially from the terms set forth in the Letter of Intent. There will be many conditions to closing of the Transaction, many of which are outside of the parties’ control and we cannot predict whether these conditions will be satisfied. There are no assurances when or if closing of the Transaction will occur, even if the parties successfully negotiate and sign a definitive agreement.

Closing of the acquisition of Lion is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to the completion of due diligence investigation of Lion by the Company that is acceptable to the Company, completion of a capital raise by the Company of at least $4 million, completion of an audit of Lion acceptable to the Company, execution of definitive acquisition documents, execution of employment agreements with certain key Lion executives, obtaining necessary third-party approvals, including a tax opinion to be provided by Lion’s tax counsel indicating that the proposed Transaction will qualify as a tax-free reorganization, and completion of all necessary securities filings. In the event that most of the foregoing conditions are met, as detailed in the Letter of Intent, prior to the closing of the proposed Transaction, the Company will make a $300,000 loan to Lion to be used by Lion exclusively for growth capital.

The Company is currently engaged in due diligence of Lion and has not yet started to negotiate a definitive agreement for the proposed Transaction. The Letter of Intent will terminate if (i) no audit of Lion satisfactory to the Company has been delivered by August 31, 2019; the Company fails to raise $4 million by September 30, 2019; or (iii) the proposed Transaction has not closed by October 31, 2019.

The Letter of Intent contains customary provisions prohibiting Lion from soliciting or encouraging any other acquisition proposal or entering into any negotiations or agreements for an alternative acquisition or financing transaction prior to the termination of the Letter of Intent.

In the event that the proposed acquisition of Lion is completed, the Letter of Intent requires that as soon as practicable following the closing of the proposed sale, the Company will change its name to "CBD Lion Corp.” and request a new trading symbol that better relates to the new proposed name.

The foregoing description of the Letter of Intent does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter of Intent , which is attached as Exhibit 10.51 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 8.01 by reference.

Any equity securities that may be issued in the Company’s capital raise to finance the Transaction will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available exemption under applicable federal and state securities laws. The disclosures in this Form 8-K regarding the Company’s capital raise to finance the Transaction are being made pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act of 1933. This Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company or Lion.

Re: Letter of Intent

Dear Erik,

This is a letter of intent (this “ LOI ”) between CBD Lion LLC (“ Lion ”), the undersigned owners of Lion (the “ Lion Owners ”), Acquired Sales Corp. (“ AQSP ”), Gerard M. Jacobs (“ GJacobs ”) and William C. Jacobs (“ WJacobs ”), to engage in the following transaction (the “Transaction”), subject to the following conditions, and also subject to the following agreements and covenants, intending to be legally bound hereby:

The Transaction

AQSP will acquire 100% of the ownership interests in Lion in a reorganization, for the following consideration: Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in cash, plus the greater of: (i) Five Million (5,000,000) shares or (ii) a number of shares with a value at closing of the Transaction equal to 50% of the value of the aggregate consideration deemed paid to the Lion Owners for their ownership interests in Lion, in each case, such shares being in the form of unregistered common stock of AQSP (the “ Stock Consideration ”), provided that the Lion Owners shall enjoy so-called “piggyback registration rights” in regard to the Stock Consideration, and provided further that the Lion Owners shall enjoy so-called "demand registration rights" in regard to the Stock Consideration if no piggyback registration statement is filed with the SEC within 120 days following the closing of the Transaction, and provided further that at the closing of the Transaction, AQSP shall cause up to Four Hundred Sixty-Two Thousand Four Hundred Thirty Dollars ($462,430) of related party debt owed by Lion to be repaid in full (collectively, the “ Transaction ”).

Conditions

Closing of the Transaction will be subject to the following conditions:

1. Lion shall, with the advice and assistance of WJacobs, AQSP’s President and Chief Financial Officer, immediately prepare Lion’s 2017, 2018 and 2019 financial statements, including statements of income, balance sheets and cash flows (the “ Lion Financial Statements ”), for audit and review.

2. As promptly as possible following the execution of this LOI, Lion at its expense shall engage AQSP’s PCAOB-qualified independent firm of certified public accountants, Fruci & Associates II, PLLC, Spokane, Washington, to audit the Lion Financial Statements for fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and to review the Lion Financial Statements for quarterly periods during 2019, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and to provide all opinion letters and other documents as shall be necessary to allow Lion to be acquired by AQSP in the Transaction pursuant to all applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) and FASB rules and regulations, and to allow AQSP to timely file all necessary securities filings with the SEC (collectively, the “ Audit ”). If, the results of the Audit are not acceptable to AQSP, then the Transaction shall be abandoned.

3. Lion shall allow AQSP to conduct a so-called “due diligence” investigation of Lion’s business, permits, leases, contracts, books and records, financials, historical operations, business practices, computer systems, prospects, legal, taxes, and other matters. AQSP shall use its best efforts to complete such “due diligence” investigation within 30 days. If the results of such “due diligence” investigation are not acceptable to AQSP, then the Transaction shall be abandoned. Upon making such a determination, AQSP shall notice Lion promptly of AQSP’s abandonment of the Transaction as a result of the “due diligence” investigation.

4. Upon completion of the “due diligence” investigation and negotiation of a merger agreement (the “ Merger Agreement ”) containing representations, warranties, covenants, conditions, and indemnifications customary to transactions like the Transaction, AQSP and Lion shall execute and deliver the Merger Agreement. The Closing of the Transaction pursuant to the Merger Agreement shall be conditioned upon the execution and delivery by Lion and AQSP of mutually acceptable, legally binding, definitive closing documentation (the “ Definitive Documents ”) including:

(a) five-year employment agreement between AQSP and Erik S. Lundgren (the “ Lundgren Employment Agreement ”); and

(b) a shareholders agreement (the “ Shareholders Agreement ”) among the Lion Owners, GJacobs and WJacobs (collectively the “ Parties to the Shareholders Agreement ”), it being understood that the Shareholders Agreement shall include, among other things, agreements by each of the Parties to the Shareholders Agreement:

(1) to nominate, support and vote in favor of slates of nominees for the Board of Directors of AQSP who are mutually acceptable to the Parties to the Shareholders Agreement;

(2) to support and vote in favor of base salaries, a management bonus pool, and future stock options or warrants, for the key executives of AQSP including GJacobs, WJacobs and the Lion Key Executives, that are mutually acceptable to the Parties to the Shareholders Agreement;

(3) to support and vote in favor of future acquisitions and divestitures, capital raises, and other lawful corporate transactions from time to time, that are mutually acceptable to the Parties to the Shareholders Agreement; and

(4) not to directly or indirectly sell or transfer any of their AQSP stock, options or warrants as part of an agreement, contract, plan or arrangement of any nature that is intended to result in a change of control of AQSP, unless such agreement, contract, plan or arrangement is mutually acceptable to the Parties to the Shareholders Agreement and is approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of AQSP.

5. Closing of the Transaction under the Merger Agreement shall be conditioned upon AQSP offering five-year employment agreements (such employment agreements, together with the Lundgren Employment Agreement, the “ Employment Agreements ”) to each of the following key executives of Lion (such key executives, together with Erik S. Lundgren, the “ Lion Key Executives ”):

Chris Nauert

Katie M. Nauert

Andrew Stepniak

Chris Weiland

it being understood that the Employment Agreements (including the Lundgren Employment Agreement) shall include minimum base salaries for each of the Lion Key Executives of at least $100,000 per year, and shall also include participation for the Lion Key Executives in an annual AQSP management bonus pool, such bonus pool to be allocated as mutually agreed upon by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of AQSP, GJacobs and Erik S. Lundgren.

6. Closing of the Transaction shall be conditioned upon the completion of a capital raise of at least Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) by AQSP (the “Capital Raise”).

7. Closing of the Transaction shall be conditioned upon the receipt by Lion of a written opinion from Lion’s tax counsel that the Transaction qualifies as a reorganization that is “tax free” in regard to the Stock Consideration pursuant to the U.S. tax code and applicable Internal Revenue Service regulations promulgated thereunder (the “ Tax Opinion ”).

8. Closing of the Transaction shall be conditioned upon approval of the Transaction by the Board of Directors of AQSP, and, if necessary, by the shareholders of AQSP. The board of managers of Lion and the Lion Owners have all approved the Transaction, subject only to (a) approval of the Definitive Documents by the Lion Owners’ legal counsel, (b) the receipt by the Lion Owners of

the Tax Opinion from Lion’s tax counsel, and (c) elimination of Erik S. Lundgren’s personal guaranty of Lion’s lease payment obligations or any other corporate obligations.

9. Closing of the Transaction shall be conditioned upon the completion of all necessary securities filings and the obtaining of any necessary approvals from the SEC.

Pre-Closing Agreements and Covenants

10. During the period between the signing of this LOI and the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement or the termination of this LOI, Lion and the Lion Owners shall not directly or indirectly enter into any discussion(s), negotiation(s), letter(s) of intent, merger(s), reorganization(s), stock sale(s), asset sale(s) (other than asset sales in the ordinary, normal, and customary course of Lion’s business), other transaction(s), loan agreement(s), financing agreement(s) or arrangement(s) of any type, other capital raise(s), or other contract(s) or arrangement(s) with any third party, or any other agreement(s), contract(s) or arrangement(s) outside the ordinary course of Lion’s businesses that would or might delay or make more costly or difficult the closing of the Transaction. The Merger Agreement shall include similar covenants regarding the period between signing the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Transaction or termination of the Merger Agreement.

11. During the period between the signing of this LOI and the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement or the termination of this LOI, the Lion Owners shall operate Lion only in accordance with the ordinary, normal and customary course thereof consistent with past practices. The Merger Agreement shall include similar covenants regarding the period between signing the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Transaction or termination of the Merger Agreement.

12. Lion, the Lion Owners, AQSP, GJacobs and WJacobs shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the closing of the Transaction to occur as soon as practicable, subject to the fulfillment of all of the conditions described above.

13. Upon execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement (which shall include, as exhibits, approved drafts of the Definitive Documents and a Tax Opinion to be delivered at closing), then and in such event AQSP shall make a $300,000 loan to Lion to be used by Lion exclusively for growth capital and not to be used to repay any related party debt of Lion nor to pay any increased salaries or bonuses to any of the Lion Key Executives. If the Transaction closes, then this loan shall be extinguished, because post-closing of the Transaction, Lion and AQSP will constitute the same entity. The Merger Agreement shall provide that if the Transaction does not close and the Merger Agreement is terminated, then the Loan shall be repaid by Lion to AQSP in six equal monthly installments of principal, together with accrued interest at the rate of 6% per year, with the first such installment due and payable by Lion to AQSP on the first day of the first calendar month following the termination of the Merger Agreement.

Post-Closing Agreements and Covenants

14. As promptly as practicable following the closing of the Transaction, AQSP shall change its name to “CBD Lion Corp.” or to a similar name that is mutually acceptable to the Board of Directors of AQSP and to the Lion Owners, and shall change its ticker symbol to “ROAR” or other ticker symbol that is mutually acceptable to the Board of Directors of AQSP and to the Lion Owners, subject to all necessary approvals.

Termination of this LOI

15. This LOI shall terminate, without any payment by or penalty due from any party, upon execution of the Merger Agreement or if:

(a) The Audit shall not have been completed, or the results of the Audit shall have not been accepted by AQSP, by an outside date of August 31, 2019;

(b) AQSP has not closed the Capital Raise by an outside date of September 30, 2019;

(c) The Merger Agreement has not been signed by October 31, 2019 (the Merger Agreement, if executed, shall include an outside closing date of October 31, 2019, or such other date as mutually agreed by the parties);

(d) AQSP shall have delivered written notice to Lion that AQSP is abandoning the Transaction due to a determination that the results of the “due diligence” investigation of Lion are not acceptable to AQSP; or

(e) Any material provisions of this LOI shall be adjudged by a court or the SEC to be invalid or unenforceable, and thereafter the parties to this LOI are unable to mutually agree upon how to proceed forward with the Transaction as impacted by such court or SEC action.

Miscellaneous

16. Each of the parties to this LOI shall bear its, his or her own fees and expenses in connection with the proposed Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties to this LOI shall be solely responsible for the fees and expenses owed by it, him or her to any lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, investment bankers, brokers or finders employed by such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing two sentences, upon execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement (which shall include, as exhibits, approved drafts of the Definitive Documents and a Tax Opinion to be delivered at closing), then and in such event AQSP shall pay or reimburse Lion for all of the costs and expenses of the Audit regardless whether the Transaction closes or the Merger Agreement is terminated. AQSP acknowledges that Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP (“ Taft ”) is being engaged to represent Lion in the Transaction, and that Taft has represented AQSP in the past in unrelated matters, but that Taft is not currently representing AQSP in the Transaction or any other matters.

17. AQSP shall be permitted to publicly disclose this LOI, and to share information regarding Lion, on a need-to-know basis, as may be necessary or desirable in connection with AQSP’s efforts to complete the Capital Raise or to satisfy the conditions to closing the Transaction, or otherwise as may be required to comply with applicable securities laws and regulations in the opinion of AQSP’s securities counsel.

18. The Lion Owners acknowledge that AQSP is a publicly traded company and that unauthorized disclosure of any material information regarding AQSP or the Transaction could subject the disclosing party to scrutiny and potential liability under applicable securities laws and regulations.

19. Signatures on this LOI may be signed by hand, or may be transmitted electronically in pdf formal, and all of such signatures shall be deemed to be valid original signatures.

We look forward to building a large and successful public company together, for the mutual benefit of AQSP’s shareholders and executives, and the Lion Owners and the Lion Key Executives. If the foregoing terms and conditions are acceptable, please sign below, thanks.

Sincerely,
