Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Acquisition of USRealty Brokerage Solutions, LLC and Investment in Unreal Estate Inc.

 

On November 20, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), reAlpha Tech Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Unreal Estate LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), USRealty Brokerage Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller (“US Realty”), and Unreal Estate Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), pursuant to which, on the Closing Date, the Company acquired from the Seller 100% of the membership interests of US Realty that were outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition”). Prior to the Acquisition, US Realty had no operations except for a Multiple Listing Service registration.

 

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, in exchange for all of the membership interests of US Realty outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Seller an aggregate purchase price of $250,000 in the form of in-kind services to be provided by the Company, including software usage by the Seller or the Parent, beginning on the Closing Date and continuing for a period of one year thereafter (the “In-Kind Services”). The terms of the In-Kind Services will be further described in a services agreement to be entered into among the Company, the Seller and the Parent within 30 days of the Closing Date.

 

The Purchase Agreement provides that, following the Closing Date, the Seller will indemnify the Company and its affiliates for any liability, damages, losses, costs and/or expenses arising out of breaches by the Seller of its covenants and representations, and for certain other matters as specified in the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain limitations and exclusions as identified therein. The Company is also required, following the Closing Date, to indemnify the Seller, the Parent and their respective affiliates for any liability, damages, losses, costs and/or expenses arising out of any breaches by the Company of its covenants and representations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, as well as fees incident to the Company’s indemnification obligations. The Company also has the right to set-off any amounts it owes to the Seller in connection with the Purchase Agreement, against the obligations and liabilities of the Seller to the Company under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also contains representations and warranties, other covenants and conditions, in each case, customary for transactions of this type.

 

On November 19, 2024, US Realty entered into a separate independent contractor agreement (the “Broker Services Agreement”), with one of the Seller’s real estate brokers (the “Broker”), pursuant to which the Broker agreed to provide certain services to US Realty. Specifically, under the terms of the Broker Services Agreement, the Broker’s services will include: (i) acting on behalf of US Realty as its designated broker or broker of record with respect to the real estate commission requirements of the 33 U.S. states in which the Broker is licensed, and (ii) providing certain managerial and administrative services to US Realty with respect to its real estate licensing and compliance requirements in those U.S. states. US Realty will pay the Broker at a rate of $150 per hour in exchange for such services.

 

Also on November 19, 2024, the Parent issued and sold to the Company a convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $60,000 (the “Note”). The Note is convertible into shares of preferred stock or common stock of the Parent, as applicable, as follows: (i) if the Parent effects a transaction or series of transactions of its preferred stock for capital raising purposes, then the amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Note (plus all unpaid accrued interest thereon) as of the conversion date (the “Convertible Amount”) will automatically convert into shares of the Parent’s preferred stock; (ii) if the Parent effects (a) a transaction or series of transactions in which it sells more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities, (b) a reorganization, merger or consolidation or (c) a direct listing or initial public offering of its securities, then, in each case, the Company will be eligible to receive the Convertible Amount or shares of the Parent’s common stock upon conversion of the Note and the Convertible Amount thereof, whichever is greater; and (iii) at any time after the Note reaches its maturity date, and at the election of the Company, the Note and Convertible Amount thereof may be converted into shares of the Parent’s common stock. The Note issued to the Company is one of a series of convertible promissory notes issued by the Parent (collectively, the “Offering Notes”). Interest under the Note will accrue at a rate of 9% per annum. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Note (plus all unpaid accrued interest thereon) will be due and payable in 4 years following the date of its issuance, unless earlier converted based on the terms of the Note, or extended by the holders of a majority-in-interest of the aggregate principal amount of the Offering Notes.

There is no pending or, to the Seller’s Knowledge, threatened legal action, arbitration, or other proceeding against the Company with respect to any Company Employee Plan, other than routine claims for benefits, that could result in Liability to the Company or to the Buyer, and there is no basis for any such legal action or proceeding. All required, declared, or discretionary (in accordance with historical practices) payments, premiums, contributions, reimbursements, or accruals with respect to each Company Employee Plan for all periods ending prior to or as of the date hereof have been made or properly accrued on the Financial Statements, including the balance sheets included in the Reviewed Financial Statements, or with respect to accruals properly made after the date of the Reviewed Financial Statements, on the books and records of the Company.

Reg. §1.409A-1(a), that Company Employee Plan has been operated in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and applicable Treasury regulations thereunder and the Company has no any obligation to pay, reimburse, or indemnify any service provider in any such Company Employee Plan for Taxes resulting from the service provider’s participation in that Company Employee Plan. Except as may be required under COBRA or other Laws of general application, no Company Employee Plan obligates the Company to provide any employee or former employee, or their spouses, family members or beneficiaries, any post-employment or post-retirement health or life insurance, accident or other “welfare-type” benefits.

For purposes of this Section 8.05(a)(iii), “timely fashion” shall mean before any responsive pleading is due for a suit filed in the Third Person Claim, or before any substantial prejudice can be identified by the Indemnified Party for a delay or failure to give notice, whichever is sooner.

 

(c) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Person Claim in accordance with Section 8.05(b) (under circumstances in which the exception in Section 8.05(a) (is not applicable), the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for any legal or other defense costs subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of that Third Person Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not exercise its right to assume the defense of a Third Person Claim by giving the written acknowledgement referred to in Section 8.05(a), or is otherwise restricted from so assuming by the exception in Section 8.05(a), the Indemnifying Party shall nevertheless be entitled to participate in that defense with its own counsel and at its own expense; and in any such case, the Indemnified Party shall assume the defense of the Third Person Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, and shall act reasonably and in accordance with its good faith business judgment and the Indemnifying Party’s duty to indemnify under Section 8.02 shall continue to apply.

 

 

(d) If the Indemnifying Party exercises its right to assume the defense of a Third Person Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not make any settlement of any claims without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party proposes the settlement of any claim which is capable of settlement by the payment of money only and demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party that the proposal is acceptable to the claimant and that the Indemnifying Party has the ability to pay the amount required to settle the claim, and the Indemnified Party does not consent thereto within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice thereof, any Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party in excess of the proposed settlement shall be at the sole expense of the Indemnified Party.

 

Section 8.06  Effect of Investigation.

 

No Buyer Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification under Section 8.02 shall be affected by any investigation conducted by, or any Knowledge of, any Buyer Indemnified Person related to (a) any representation or warranty of the Seller set out in this Agreement or (b) any covenant of the Seller in this Agreement, whether conducted or acquired before or after the Closing Date.

Section 8.08  Right of Set-Off.

 

The Buyer shall have the right to set-off, appropriate, and apply any and all amounts that may be owed by the Buyer to the Seller, whether unpaid or paid into escrow at the time of such set-off, against the obligations and liabilities of the Seller and/or the Company to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, any Related Document, or otherwise.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

 

3. Maturity. Unless this Note is converted in full in accordance with the terms of Section 7, or extended by the written consent of the holders of a majority-in-interest of the aggregate principal amount of the Offering Notes (the “Requisite Holders”), the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note and all unpaid accrued interest thereon shall become fully due and payable on the four-year anniversary of the date of issuance of this Note (the “Maturity Date”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its option, pay any unpaid accrued interest on this Note in cash at the time of conversion. In connection with the automatic conversion of this Note into shares of Shadow Preferred Stock, the Holder will execute and deliver to the Company all of the transaction documents related to the Equity Financing; provided, that such documents (i) are the same documents to be entered into with the purchasers of Standard Preferred Stock, with appropriate variations for the Shadow Preferred Stock if applicable, and (ii) have customary exceptions to any drag-along applicable to the Holder, including (without limitation) limited representations, warranties, liability and indemnification obligations for the Holder.

If any of the Company’s securityholders are given a choice as to the form and amount of proceeds to be received in a Liquidity Event, the Holder will be given the same choice; provided that the Holder may not choose to receive a form of consideration that the Holder would be ineligible to receive as a result of the Holder’s failure to satisfy any requirement or limitation generally applicable to the Company’s securityholders, or under any applicable laws.

 

(d) Maturity Conversion. At any time after the Maturity Date, at the election of the Holder, this Note will convert into that number of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the Convertible Amount divided by the Valuation Cap Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its option, pay any unpaid accrued interest on this Note in cash at the time of conversion.

Prior to issuance of Shadow Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, the Holder shall have signed and delivered to the Company a counterpart signature page to any Stockholders Agreements to which it is to be a party upon issuance of such Shadow Preferred Stock or Common Stock; and upon receipt of the countersigned Stockholders Agreements, the Company shall issue one or more certificates to the Holder evidencing the number of shares of Shadow Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, issuable to the Holder. Satisfaction of the obligations of the Holder under this Section 7(e) shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company hereunder to issue the Shadow Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, upon conversion, and the Company shall not be required to issue the Shadow Preferred Stock or Common Stock in the event of the Holder’s failure to comply with this Section 7(e) within ten (10) Business Days of written notice from the Company; provided, however, that such failure shall not impair, extinguish or relieve the Company its obligations to pay all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all expenses and fees to which the Holder would be entitled hereunder had a conversion election not been made.

 

(f) Cancellation of Note. Upon conversion of this Note in accordance with this Section 7, this Note shall thereupon be cancelled and deemed paid in full and the Company’s obligations hereunder terminated, whether or not this Note has been surrendered for cancellation.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Note is within the power of the Company and has been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of the Company (subject to Section 8(d)). This Note constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of (i) its current certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) any material statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or (iii) any material debt or contract to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, where, in each case, such violation or default, individually, or together with all such violations or defaults, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

9. Holder’s Representations.

 

(a) The Holder has full legal capacity, power and authority to execute and deliver this Note and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Note constitutes valid and binding obligation of the Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

 

(b) The Holder is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and acknowledges and agrees that if not an accredited investor at the time of an Equity Financing, the Company may void this Note and return all principal and unpaid accrued interest. The Holder has been advised that this Note and the underlying securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. The Holder is purchasing this Note and the securities to be acquired by the Holder hereunder for its own account for investment, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof, and the Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, is able to incur a complete loss of such investment without impairing the Holder’s financial condition and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time.

Exhibit 99.2 

 

reAlpha Acquires USRealty and Invests in Unreal Estate to Gain Ability to Expand into 33 U.S. States

 

Dublin, Ohio – November 21, 2024 – reAlpha Tech Corp. (“reAlpha” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: AIRE), a real estate technology company developing and commercializing artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, today announces the acquisition of USRealty Brokerage Solutions, LLC (“US Realty”) and an investment into Unreal Estate Inc. (“Unreal”).

 

In connection with the acquisition and investment, US Realty entered into a services agreement with a broker from Unreal Estate LLC to provide broker services and facilitate access to brokerage licenses in up to 33 U.S. states. This agreement is expected to enable reAlpha’s expansion into such states, subject to the completion of all applicable regulatory and legal requirements. reAlpha expects to continue seeking additional brokerage licenses to expand its services nationwide by the end of 2025.

 

“This acquisition and the related services agreement will provide reAlpha with the ability to obtain up to 33 U.S. state brokerage licenses, which we expect will expand our reach in the U.S. and reduce the time and costs associated with organic growth,” said Giri Devanur, Chief Executive Officer of reAlpha. “We believe that investing in Unreal will strengthen our operational capabilities, creating opportunities to expand reAlpha’s platform and support growth in our service businesses, including Be My Neighbor and Hyperfast.”

 

For additional details concerning the terms of this acquisition, investment and separate services agreement, please reference reAlpha’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

About the reAlpha Platform

 

reAlpha (previously called “Claire”), announced on April 24, 2024, is reAlpha’s generative AI-powered, commission-free, homebuying platform. The tagline: No fees. Just keys.™ – reflects reAlpha’s dedication to eliminating traditional barriers and making homebuying more accessible and transparent.

 

reAlpha’s introduction aligns with major shifts in the real estate sector after the National Association of Realtors agreed to settle certain lawsuits upon being found to have violated antitrust laws, resulting in inflated fees paid to buy-side agents. This development is expected to result in the end of the standard six percent sales commission, which equates to approximately $100 billion in realtor fees paid annually. The reAlpha platform offers a cost-free alternative for homebuyers by utilizing an AI-driven workflow that assists them through the homebuying process.

 

 

Homebuyers using the reAlpha platform’s conversational interface will be able to interact with Claire, reAlpha’s AI buyer’s agent, to guide them through every step of their homebuying journey, from property search to closing the deal. By offering support 24/7, Claire is poised to make the homebuying process more efficient, enjoyable, and cost-efficient. Claire matches buyers with their dream homes using over 400 data attributes and provides insights into market trends and property values. Additionally, Claire can assist with questions, booking property tours, submitting offers, and negotiations.

 

Currently, the reAlpha platform is under limited availability for homebuyers located in 20 counties in Florida, but reAlpha is actively seeking new MLS and brokerage licenses that will enable expansion into more U.S. states.
