Re:  Letter of Intent for the Acquisition of the Assets of Gear Bubble, Inc.

 

Dear Mr. Wilson:

 

We are writing to set forth certain of the principal terms and conditions on and subject to which Bergio International, Inc., or its affiliate (the “Company”) proposes to enter into an Acquisition with Gear Bubble (“Gear Bubble”) and its Shareholders of record as of the date of Closing, for the purchase of all of the assets used in the operation of Gear Bubble as set forth herein.

 

The basic terms and conditions proposed by the Company and to be incorporated into definitive agreements will include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

1.Description of the Acquisition. The Company will form a wholly-owned subsidiary in Wyoming (the “Acquisition Sub”), and the Acquisition Sub will acquire all of the assets used in the operation of the business of Gear Bubble, set forth in Schedule “A” herein, (the “Acquired Assets”), subject to Gear Bubble paying off, prior to the Closing of the Acquisition, all of the liabilities related to the operation of the business of Gear Bubble (the “Liabilities”), as listed on Schedule “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof. (the “Acquisition”). 

 

2.Consideration. Upon the Closing Date, in consideration for the Acquisition, Don Wilson, majority shareholder of Gear Bubble (the “Majority Shareholder”), (and any other Shareholders of record of Gear Bubble upon the Closing Date) (the “Shareholders”) shall receive, in total,  a) the Cash Purchase Price as set forth in Section 2.1 below; b) 49% ownership of Acquisition Sub, equal to 49,000 shares of Acquisition Sub common stock (with the Company owning the remaining 51%, or 51,000 shares of Acquisition Sub common stock) and common stock of the Company (“BRGO Incentive Common Shares”) if the performance benchmarks for Acquisition Sub as set forth on Schedule “D” herein are met. 

 

2.1Purchase Price. The total cash portion of the purchase price will be $3,162,000.00 (the “Cash Purchase Price”), shall be paid as follows:  a) $2,000,000.00 at Closing, b) $1,162,000.00 to be paid in 15 equal installments of $77,466.67, beginning 30 days following the Closing and continuing each month for the remaining 14 months. The Company’s anticipated source of such Cash Purchase Price is primarily the sale of registered S-1 shares of its common stock to institutional investors. 

 

3.Free Cash Flow Projections, Net Income and Revenue Benchmarks.  The Acquisition Sub is expected to meet the projections of free cash flow as set forth on Schedule “C” herein (“Cash Flow Projections”) and the additional revenue and net income benchmarks, as set forth on Schedule “D” herein (“Revenue and Net Income Benchmarks”), in order for the Shareholders to earn the BRGO Incentive Common Shares.  The Company will agree in the Acquisition Agreement not to take any actions that would prevent the achievement by Acquisition Sub of the Cash Flow Projections and Revenue and Net Income Benchmarks.  For avoidance of doubt, the Cash Purchase Price is not subject to reduction, set off, refund or clawback,

even if the Acquisition Sub does not meet the Cash Flow Projections or the Revenue and Net Income Benchmarks set forth in Section 2.1 herein.

 

4.Employment Agreements.  Key employees of Gear Bubble are listed on Schedule “E” herein, some of whom shall receive employment agreements from the Company with respect to their continued employment (the “Employment Agreements”). The Employment Agreements shall be consistent with such compensation and benefits as currently awarded by the Company to similarly situated personnel. Current management of Gear Bubble shall remain in place to oversee the technology department of the business of Gear Bubble following the Closing of the Acquisition, which shall include the current CTO of Gear Bubble and his direct staff; provided that no key employee of Gear Bubble will become an executive officer or director of the Company by entering into such Employment Agreements. The terms of such anticipated Employment Agreements will be circulated and agreed upon prior to the Closing, and shall specify that the foregoing key employees shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Stock Ownership Plan (“SOP”) to provide such key employees with the opportunity to earn additional Common Stock in the Company, and the criteria of such awards shall be determined by the Company prior to the Closing. 

 

5.First Refusal Right; Put Right. At the Closing, the Shareholders will grant the Company the right of first refusal (the “First Refusal Right”) to purchase the Shareholders’ 49% ownership of the Acquisition Sub for cash. The aggregate cash price for the Shareholders’ 49% ownership of the Acquisition Sub shall equal the average of three (3) independent valuations of the Acquisition Sub as of the date when the Company notifies the Shareholder of its intent to exercise the First Refusal Right, each of which shall be undertaken by an independent valuation (to be identified by the Company and mutually acceptable to the Shareholders) firm multiplied by 49%. If the Shareholders of the Acquisition Sub have not otherwise had a liquidity event prior to such date, the Shareholders will have a one-time put right (the “Put Right”) that, if elected by the Shareholders, would obligate the Company to buy the 49% ownership of the Acquisition Sub for 49% of the independent fair market valuation as determined by an independent valuation firm (chosen in the same manner as set forth in the prior sentence). 

 

6.First Refusal Right Period; Put Right Period.  The First Refusal Right may be exercised by the Company at any time during the period beginning on the date of the Closing and ending on the date which is eighteen (18) months following such date (“First Refusal Right Period”). The Put Right may be exercised by the Shareholders one time, no later than the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing. 

 

7.Accuracy of Financial Statements. The terms set forth in this Binding Letter of Intent are based on the parties' assumption that Gear Bubble’s balance sheets, income statements, of cash flows, and notes (the “Financial Statements”) for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2018, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, will be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), consistently applied, and that such Financial Statements shall fairly represent Gear Bubble’s financial condition and the results of its operations for those periods; and prior to the Closing of the Acquisition, and within 71 days of the execution of the Acquisition Agreement, any  necessary audits for the foregoing periods of Gear Bubble (the “Gear Bubble Audits”) shall be performed and completed by a PCAOB registered auditing firm as selected by the Company, currently intended to be BF Borgers. 

 

8.Customary Terms and Conditions. All terms and conditions concerning the Acquisition will be stated in one or more definitive agreements, including but not limited to the Acquisition Agreement (and Schedules thereto), and the Employment Agreements (the “Acquisition Documents”) subject to the approval of the parties, acting on advice of counsel. The terms and conditions contained within the Acquisition Documents will be usual and customary in an Acquisition of this nature and mutually acceptable to the parties. The Acquisition Agreement will contain customary representations and warranties about the Gear Bubble assets, with such representations and warranties surviving the Closing for twelve (12) months, and the only post-Closing remedy for any breach thereof to be limited to an offset against the BRGO Incentive Common Shares equal to the amount of damages resulting from such breach.  Other than as described in the prior sentence, there will be no post-Closing remedies, indemnification, or other liability on the part of Gear Bubble or its Shareholders pursuant to such Acquisition Agreement, except in the event of fraud.
