PVI Acquisition

 

As previously disclosed in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2019, on March 19, 2019, the Issuer entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with PVI, and the stockholders of PVI (the “PVI Stockholders”). Upon execution of the Agreement (the “Closing”), the Issuer acquired 20,000 shares of PVI’s outstanding capital stock (“PVI Shares”), equaling 20% of the outstanding shares of PVI. In consideration for the PVI Shares, the Issuer issued 1,000,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, $0.0000001 par value per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), to the PVI Stockholders.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, upon the six-month anniversary of the Agreement (the “Second Closing”), and subject to the conditions to closing set forth in the Agreement, the Issuer was to acquire an additional 60,000 PVI Shares, equaling 60% of the outstanding shares of PVI, for a total of 80% of the outstanding shares of PVI, in consideration for an additional 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued to the PVI Stockholders at the time of the Second Closing. The Series A Preferred Stock may, from time to time, be converted by the holder into shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock in an amount equal to ten shares of Common Stock for each one share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

On June 26, 2019, the Issuer, PVI and the PVI Stockholders entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) pursuant to which the parties agreed that on the Second Closing, and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, the PVI Stockholders shall deliver an additional 30,000 shares of Capital Stock to the Issuer, and in consideration and exchange for such capital stock, the Issuer shall issue and deliver an additional 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the PVI Stockholders.

 

On July 5, 2019, the Issuer, PVI and the PVI Stockholders, and their respective boards of directors waived the remaining conditions to closing as set forth in the Agreement and ratified and approved the Second Closing.

 

The Reporting Person is a stockholder of PVI and, in connection with the Agreement, as amended, acquired (i) 500,000 Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer at Closing and (ii) 1,000,000 Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer at the Second Closing in consideration of the sale of PVI to the Issuer. In connection with the Closing, the Reporting Person elected to convert 500,000 of his Series A Preferred Stock into the Issuer’s Common Stock effective as of March 28, 2019. The shares of Common Stock reported herein were issued on April 2, 2019.
