Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, dated June 22, 2018, on June 25, 2018, Boxlight Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Boxlight”) acquired 100% of the capital stock of Qwizdom, Inc., based in Washington State (“Qwizdom”) and its subsidiary Qwizdom UK Limited, based in Northern Ireland (“Qwizdom UK” and collectively with Qwizdom, the “Qwizdom Companies”).

As part of the transaction, Qwizdom entered into a three-year employment agreement with Darin Beamish, its Chief Executive Officer, and Qwizdom UK entered into a three year employment agreement with Dermot Sweeney, its President. In addition, Boxlight granted options to Mr. Sweeney and Mr. Beamish to purchase 40,000 and 20,000 shares of Boxlight Class A common stock. respectively at an exercise price of $5.78 per share.

3. Conversion of Earn-Out to Additional Purchase Notes .

 

(a) In the event that, during any one of the Anniversary Years, changes are required by Boxlight to its sale or licensing strategy to market software to original equipment manufacturers (“ OEMs ”) that could reasonably be expected to limit the ability of the Shareholders to achieve the Earn-Out goals, then and only in such event, unless otherwise approved in advance by D. Beamish, the entire then unpaid amount of the potential Earn-Out will convert to notes payable on the same terms and payment schedule as the Purchase Notes described in Section 2(b) above (the “ Additional Purchase Notes ”). For the avoidance of doubt, changes required by the Purchaser that would trigger the conversion of the Earn-Out to Additional Purchase Notes would generally be limited to: (i) forcing non-renewal of any partner contract for reasons other than non-payment, (ii) forcing a cost increase on OEM licenses in excess of 20% at agreement renewal for any partner, (iii) removing key features from the OEM products or restricting key features from the OEM products so that OEM partners do not have access to such features while Boxlight does, (iv) restricting the ability to support partners in reasonable ways, such as not allowing the Shareholders or other members of the Companies staff to attend major tradeshows or bid shootouts in the United States or the United Kingdom in order to assist partners in promoting and selling the OEM products, unless such expenses exceed the expenses for such activities that were incurred in 2017 by more than 10%, or there is a company-wide communicated restriction on travel due to financial constraints, (v) not allowing key features from the existing road-map to be developed or included into release products available to OEM partners, unless such inclusion would violate a patent or otherwise be illegal or the cost of doing so cannot be handled within the development budget or is determined to be higher than the potential added OEM software revenue to be gained from such inclusion, or (vi) the Companies’ OEM development budget is reduced by more than 10% from the development budget for OEM products in 2017, unless such budget reduction is done based on a broad cost cutting effort across the entire organization and a similar reduction is placed on all other software/online product development.

No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

5. Relationships with the Company:

 

Except as set forth below, neither you nor (if you are a natural person) any member of your immediate family, nor (if you are not a natural person) any of your affiliates 2 , officers, directors or principal equity holders (owners of 5% of more of the equity securities of the undersigned) has held any position or office or has had any other material relationship with the Company (or its predecessors or affiliates) during the past three years.

 

  State any exceptions here:
   
   

 

 

 

1 Beneficially Owned :   A “beneficial owner” of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares (i)  voting power , including the power to direct the voting of such security, or (ii)  investment power , including the power to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, such security.  In addition, a person is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of a security of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days, including, but not limited to, any right to acquire such security: (i) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (ii) through the conversion of any security or (iii) pursuant to the power to revoke, or the automatic termination of, a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement.

 

It is possible that a security may have more than one “beneficial owner,” such as a trust, with two co-trustees sharing voting power, and the settlor or another third party having investment power, in which case each of the three would be the “beneficial owner” of the securities in the trust.  The power to vote or direct the voting, or to invest or dispose of, or direct the investment or disposition of, a security may be indirect and arise from legal, economic, contractual or other rights, and the determination of beneficial ownership depends upon who ultimately possesses or shares the power to direct the voting or the disposition of the security.

 

The final determination of the existence of beneficial ownership depends upon the facts of each case.  You may, if you believe the facts warrant it, disclaim beneficial ownership of securities that might otherwise be considered “beneficially owned” by you.

 

2 Affiliate :   An “affiliate” is a company or person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls you, or is controlled by you, or is under common control with you.

 

  2  
 

 

The undersigned agrees to promptly notify the Company of any inaccuracies or changes in the information provided herein that may occur subsequent to the date hereof at any time while the Registration Statement remains effective.

 

By signing below, the undersigned consents to the disclosure of the information contained herein in its answers to Items 1 through 5 and the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto. The undersigned understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company in connection with the preparation or amendment of the Registration Statement and the related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, by authority duly given, has caused this Selling Securityholder Notice and Questionnaire to be executed and delivered either in person or by its duly authorized agent.

Dermot Sweeney

[Address]

 

Dear Dermot:

 

We are pleased to advise you that at the direction of the Board of Directors of Boxlight Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), you are hereby notified that the Board has granted you a qualified stock option (the “Option”) pursuant to the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan as adopted by the Company and as in effect on the date of the grant (the “Plan”).

 

This Option entitles you to purchase forty thousand (40,000) shares of Class A voting Common Stock of the Company (the “Option Shares”) at the price of $5.78 per share (the “Exercise Price”) which Exercise Price is payable in cash or by check in United States Dollars, or other property acceptable to the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The date of grant of this Option is June 22, 2018, and it is the determination of the Board that on that date the per share fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock was the Exercise Price.

 

You may exercise the Option only at such time as Options shall have vested in accordance with the four year vesting schedule set forth below. The Option must be exercised, if at all, on or before June 22, 2027 (ten years from the date of grant), after which any unexercised Options will expire. In addition, if you cease for any reason being employed by the Company, or any other subsidiary of the Company, any non-vested Options shall immediately be cancelled as of the date of termination of your employment services.

 

In all cases, your Option to purchase the Option Shares shall commence to vest immediately. One-quarter (1/4) of the Option Shares shall vest and shall become exercisable on each of June 22, 2019, June 22, 2020, June 22, 2021 and June 22, 2022 (each, a “Vesting Year”). To the extent that you do not exercise a vested Option in any one or more Vesting Year, your right to exercise the Option shall be cumulative and shall carry over to the next succeeding Vesting Years. The Option may not be exercised for fractional shares.

 

Subject to and contingent upon your one-year anniversary of employment with the Company, you will be granted an Option to purchase an additional forty thousand (40,000) shares of Class A voting Common Stock of the Company (the “Additional Option Shares”). The Additional Option Shares shall be subject to the same method of exercise and four-year vesting schedule as referenced above for the Option Shares.

 

The Option is subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Plan as in effect on the date of the grant. Copies of the Plan are available to you on request. At the time or times you wish to exercise this Option in whole or in part, please refer to this letter and the provisions of the Plan dealing with methods and formalities of exercising your option.

 

We look forward to your employment with the Company.

 

Sincerely,  
   
BOXLIGHT CORPORATION

President
