Item 2.01. |
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On July 20, 2021, HG Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) pursuant to that certain Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with National Consumer Title Insurance Company, a Florida corporation (“NCTIC”), National Consumer Title Group LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“NCTG”), Southern Fidelity Insurance Company, a Florida corporation (“SFIC”), Southern Fidelity Managing Agency, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“SFMA”), and Preferred Managing Agency, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“PMA” and together with SFIC and SFMA, each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”). On such date, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased 100% of the stock of NCTIC and 100% of the membership interest in NCTG for $5.489 million, subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment (the “Purchase Price”). Pursuant to the mechanics in the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Price was determined at closing by taking the $5.5 million purchase price originally agreed to under the Purchase Agreement, subtracting the debt of NCTIC and NCTG, adding payment for $75,000 of the transaction expenses of the Sellers, and adding a closing related working capital adjustment. The Company funded the Purchase Price from cash on hand. Also at closing, the Company and Sellers agreed that the economic benefits and burdens of the ownership of the equity, including for accounting and tax purposes, be transferred as of 12:01 am on July 1, 2021. For all other purposes, the effective time of the transfer remained July 20, 2021.
Pursuant to the Acquisition, the Company effectively purchased (i) 100% of the stock of NCTIC, a Florida title insurer formed in 2017, and (ii) a 100% membership interest in NCTG, which owns a 50% non-controlling membership interest in Title Agency Ventures, LLC (“TAV”), and by virtue thereof, owns 50% of the membership interest in Omega National Title Agency (“Omega”), also a Florida based title agency. NCTIC provides title insurance, closing and/or escrow services and similar or related services in the state of Florida in connection with residential real estate transactions. Omega operates 10 title agency locations in Florida providing title agency services for residential and commercial real estate transactions.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and Acquisition is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 26, 2021 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The representations, warranties and covenants included in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for purposes of the agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Purchase Agreement, including exceptions set forth on confidential disclosure schedules. Accordingly, the Company’s shareholders should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of related facts or circumstances, and should bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, were negotiated for purposes of allocating contractual risk among such parties and may be subject to contractual standards of materiality that differ from those generally applicable to shareholders. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date hereof and any such subsequent information may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
