Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Purchase Agreement

On March 10, 2017, Ameri Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Ameri”) acquired 100% of the shares of ATCG Technology Solutions, Inc. (“ATCG”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) among the Company, ATCG, all of the stockholders of ATCG (the “Stockholders”), and the Stockholders’ representative. ATCG provides U.S. domestic, offshore and onsite SAP consulting services and has its main office in Folsom, California.

The aggregate purchase price for the acquisition of ATCG consisted of: (a) 576,923 shares of AMERI common stock (the “ATCG Shares”), (b) unsecured promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued to certain of ATCG’s selling Stockholders for the aggregate amount of $3,750,000 (which Notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum and mature on June 30, 2018), and (c) earn-out payments in shares of Ameri common stock to be paid, if earned, in 2018 and 2019, all as more particularly outlined in the SPA and the Notes. The total consideration paid excludes transaction costs.

The parties to the SPA have made customary representations, warranties and covenants therein. The foregoing description of the ATCG acquisition is included to provide information regarding its terms. It does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the SPA, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference, and the full text of the Notes, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release announcing the ATCG acquisition is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Item 3.02. Unregistered Shares of Equity Securities.

As described under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on March 10, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 576,923 shares of its common stock to the Stockholders as part of the total consideration for the purchase of the shares of ATCG. The shares were issued in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a private offering. Such issuance did not involve a public offering, and was made without general solicitation or advertising.
