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.
