NOTE 7 – AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER WITH PEGASUS SPECIALTY VEHICLES, LLC

 

On June 20, 2023, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Pegasus Specialty Vehicles, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Pegasus”), and Pegasus Specialty Holdings LLC, an Ohio limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Pegasus Sub”).

 

The Merger Agreement provides that at the closing, subject to terms and conditions, Pegasus Sub will merge with and into Pegasus, with Pegasus surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At Closing of the Merger, the issued and outstanding common shares of Pegasus will automatically be converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 623,500 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock of the Company.

 

The Company, Pegasus, and Pegasus Sub have each made various representations and warranties and agreed to certain covenants in the Merger Agreement, including a covenant by the Company that it would raise $3,000,000 less costs in new financing at Closing, with $435,000 loaned pre-Closing to Pegasus under a secured promissory note with a face value of $575,000. Pegasus granted a security interest to the Company in all of Pegasus’ assets on the $575,000 loan, subordinate to other security interests as to the same collateral. The Company received $500,000 from the Note after applying the Original Issue Discount (OID), $30,000 of which was used to pay commission to a broker as placement agent, $30,000 was paid to the lender for its legal fees and $5,000 for a due diligence fee paid to the lender. The balance was tendered to the Company to lend to Pegasus under a Loan and Security Agreement as described below.

 

Consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or, if permitted by applicable law, waiver, by the Company, Pegasus, or both of various conditions. For Pegasus, these conditions include, without limitation, (i) an agreeable plan to spin out the existing Company cannabis assets and operations, (ii) an agreeable plan to transfer the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company to Brian Barrington simultaneously to the date of the aforementioned spin-out; (iii) an agreeable plan to retire the Series E Designation; (iv) financing by the Company of $3,000,000 less costs; (v) the filing of the Certificate of Designation for the Series AA Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada; and (vi) certain other customary conditions. For the Company, these conditions include, without limitation, (i) a secured promissory note issued by Pegasus to the Company in the amount of $500,000 with the collateral being a UCC lien subordinate to other lenders; (ii) the payback by the Company of certain advances contributed by corporate officers and others in the Company in an amount not to exceed $140,000; (iii) resolutions of the equity holders of Pegasus approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated; and (iv) certain other customary conditions.

 

 

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights including the right of the parties to mutually agree upon termination, and by each of the Company and Pegasus unilaterally if the other party has committed a violation of the covenants, representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger Agreement, the Merger, and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the board of directors of Pegasus, and unanimously approved by the board of directors of the Company.

 

The Closing of the Merger is expected to occur as soon as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions to Closing in the Merger Agreement, which is currently expected to be in the 4th quarter of calendar year 2023.
