Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously announced, on March 12, 2024, Odyssey Semiconductor Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Odyssey Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“SubCo”), JR2J, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the SubCo (“JR2J”, together with the SubCo and the Company, the “Seller Parties”), and Power Integration Inc., a Delaware corporation and California-based developer and producer of high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion (“Power Integration”).
On July 1, 2024, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions and limitation provided therein, the Seller Parties and Power Integration closed the sales, transfer and assignment of substantially all of the Company’s assets (the “Asset Sale”) to Power Integration.
As previously announced on June 5, 2024, the Company organized a special meeting of stockholders on June 3, 2024 where the stockholders of the Company approved the Asset Sale and the Asset Sale Agreement, as well the Company’s plan of liquidation, dissolution and distribution of assets (the “Plan of Dissolution”) to dissolve and liquidate the Company.
Following the Closing and pursuant to the Company’s confirmation with OTC Market, the common stock of Odyssey will be downgraded from the OTC QB Market to be quoted on OTC Pink Market for a period of time until the Company completes its dissolution and liquidation process and its common stock is withdrawn from quotation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). During such time, Odyssey will cease operations and move forward with the plan to dissolve the Company including the payment of a liquidating distribution to common shareholders to the extent funds are available.

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “should” or the negative versions of those words or other comparable words. Forward-looking statements do not relate solely to historical or current facts, rather they are based on management’s expectations as well as certain assumptions and estimates made by, and information available to, management at the time. These statements are not guarantees of future performance. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company’s current expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could significantly affect current plans, anticipated actions and the Company’s future financial condition and results.

Important transaction-related and other risk factors that may cause these forward-looking statements to differ include: (i) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement; (ii) the completion of the Asset Sale on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining required stockholder and regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of other conditions to the completion of the Asset Sale; (iii) significant transaction costs associated with the Asset Sale; (iv) potential litigation relating to the Asset Sale, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; and (vii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the Asset Sale.
Additional risks and uncertainties are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC and subsequent filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent circumstances or events.
