Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Share Exchange Agreement date June 7, 2019

 

On June 7, 2019, iFresh Inc. (“iFresh” or the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Xiaotai International Investment Inc. (“Xiaotai International”) and the equity holders of Xiaotai International (the “Xiaotai Shareholders”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, iFresh would acquire all of the outstanding issued shares and other equity interests in Xiaotai International from the Xiaotai Shareholders (the “Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Xiaotai International, iFresh agreed to issue 254,813,383 shares of its common stock to the Xiaotai Shareholders. Xiaotai International operates through its variable interest entity, Zhejiang Xiaotai Technology Co. Ltd. (“Zhejiang Xiaotai”), in China.

 

As disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed on November 5, 2019, we received news regarding an ongoing investigation of Zhejiang Xiaotai by the Hangzhou Police Department, Binjiang Branch (“Hangzhou Police”) through a public notice released by the Hangzhou Police on November 3, 2019 (the “Police Report”). Zhejiang Xiaotai is alleged to have conducted illegal fundraising from the public. The report also stated that several executives of Zhejiang Xiaotai have been detained and are being held in custody.

 

On November 5, 2019 (the “Termination Date”), iFresh issued written notice to Xiaotai International and Xiaotai Shareholders to terminate the Exchange Agreement pursuant to section 9.1(c), (e) and (f) of the Exchange Agreement, effective immediately.

 

From and after the Termination Date, the Exchange Agreement will be of no further force or effect, and the rights and obligations of each party thereunder shall terminate, except for (a) any rights and obligations of the parties that are expressly designated thereunder to survive the termination of the Exchange Agreement and (b) any other rights and obligations of the parties that come into being or effect upon the termination of the Exchange Agreement.

 

Share Purchase Agreement dated June 7, 2019

 

In conjunction with the Acquisition, on June 7, 2019, iFresh and NYM Holding, Inc. (“NYM”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Go Fresh 365 Inc. (“Go Fresh”), a corporation solely owned by Mr. Long Deng, iFresh’s Chief Executive Officer. The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale of 100% of the equity interest in NYM to Go Fresh for cash consideration of $9.1 million (the “Spin-off”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, one of the closing conditions of the Spin-off is that all the conditions to the obligations of each party to consummate the Acquisition described in the Exchange Agreement shall have been satisfied.

 

As a result of the termination of the Exchange Agreement, on November 5, 2019, iFresh, NYM and Go Fresh mutually agreed to terminate the Purchase Agreement, effective immediately.

 

The board of directors of the Company approved the termination of both the Exchange Agreement and the Purchase Agreement on November 5, 2019.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Reference is made to the Definitive Proxy Statements on Schedule 14A (“Schedule 14A”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 13, 2019 and the Company’s Current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 10, 2019. On September 5, 2019, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders. Pursuant to the vote of stockholders, the Company adopted certain proposals in connection with the Acquisition and the Spin-off, among which are the proposal to change the name of the Company (the “Name Change Proposal”) and the proposal to elect certain directors (the “Election of Directors Proposal”). As a result of the termination of the Exchange Agreement, the company has decided that those proposals are no longer in the best interest of the company and has decided not to adopt the Name Change Proposal and the Election of Directors Proposal contained in the Schedule 14A.
