 Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed by TechPrecision Corporation (the “Company”) in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 29, 2023 (the “Prior 8-K”), the Company and Doerfer Corporation (the “Seller”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Votaw Precision Technologies, Inc. (“Votaw”) and after giving effect to such purchase, Votaw was to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Pursuant to Section 7.01(f) of the Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has not occurred by the Outside Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) either the Company or the Seller has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement, subject to the party terminating having complied with the other required closing conditions. On April 2, 2024, the Seller delivered to the Company written notice of its election to terminate the Purchase Agreement under Section 7.01(f) effective immediately. The Company is currently reviewing the applicability of Section 7.01(f).

 

The termination of the Purchase Agreement shall have the effects set forth in Section 7.02 of the Purchase Agreement, including that, if the Seller validly terminated the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(f), the Company must pay to the Seller a termination fee, as the Seller’s exclusive remedy, consisting of 320,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued into the name of the Seller (the “Stock Termination Fee”). The Stock Termination Fee will increase by 48,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock if the Company fails to (i) issue the Stock Termination Fee to the Seller within 30 calendar days following the Seller’s proper termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(f), and (ii) file a registration statement to effect the resale of such shares of the Company’s common stock included in the Stock Termination Fee within 30 calendar days following the Seller’s proper termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(f) and/or thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to become effective as soon as practicable.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Prior 8-K.

 

Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On April 8, 2024, the Company issued a press release regarding the termination of the Purchase Agreement and releasing certain information that had been provided to potential investors in the related financing. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

 

The information presented in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the accompanying press release shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, unless the Company specifically states that the information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or specifically incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
