Note 20. Subsequent Events

On January 9, 2022, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire all of the equity interests in GCG Connect, LLC, d/b/a HyperPointe, a New Jersey limited liability company (“HyperPointe”), for an aggregate initial purchase price of approximately $6,612, which consisted of (i) $5,612 in cash and (ii) the issuance of 552,487 shares of common stock of the Company to the equity owners of HyperPointe, plus additional consideration in the form of a potential earnout of up to $7,500 (the “Acquisition”). The portion of the initial consideration for the Acquisition comprising the 552,487 shares of Company common stock was valued at $1,000 based upon a closing reference price of $1.81 as contemplated by the acquisition agreement.

XpresSpa Group also agreed pursuant to an earnout provision to issue up to an additional $7.5 million in cash or stock if certain earnout performance targets are met during an earnout period ending on the third anniversary of the date of the acquisition agreement. For purposes of the earnout, the Common Stock will also be valued on a per share basis. The earnout payments may be satisfied in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock (also priced at $1.81), or (iii) any combination thereof, at the election of the equity owners of HyperPointe, provided that in the event (and to the extent) XpresSpa Group does not have sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock that are unissued and not duly reserved for issuance upon options, warrants or other convertible securities, then XpresSpa Group shall be permitted to settle any earnout payments in cash. As a result, XpresSpa Group may issue up to an additional 4,143,647 shares of Common Stock; however, the actual number of shares that will be issued under the earnout, if any, will depend on (i) the extent of fulfillment of the earnout performance targets at the time of calculation of the earnout and (ii) the elections and conditions described in the previous sentence.

XpresSpa Group granted an equity award to Ezra T. Ernst, who was previously affiliated with HyperPointe and who was offered employment with the Company in connection with XpresSpa’s acquisition of the equity interests of HyperPointe, as an inducement material to such new employee entering into employment with the Company. The equity award was approved on January 7, 2022, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).

 

The employee received stock options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of XpresSpa common stock. The stock options were issued upon the closing of the acquisition of HyperPointe and employee’s hire date in connection therewith (the "Grant Date"), and all stock options included within the equity inducement award have an exercise price of $1.64 per share, resulting in the fair value of $1,457 which would be charged to expense per the option terms. One-third of the options will vest on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date, subject to the employee's continued employment with XpresSpa or its subsidiaries on such vesting dates. The stock options have a ten-year term.
