Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, at the closing thereof (the “Closing”), the Company agreed to exchange the outstanding shares of common stock of Symplefy held by the Shareholders (the “Symplefy Shares”) for an aggregate fifteen million ($15,000,000) equivalent of newly issued shares of the Common Stock of the Company, (the “GoLogiq Stock”)  (such amount of shares, the “Closing Shares”), and (ii) an aggregate of fifteen million ($15,000,000) equivalent of GoLogiq Stock

payable pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement

(the “Earnout Shares” and together with the Closing Shares, the “Merger Consideration”), in each of cases (i) and (ii) priced on the fifteen (15) trading day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") immediately prior to the Closing, and be subject to the terms of distribution as set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement and the resale restrictions as defined therein.

 

Following the Closing, as consideration for the share exchange, Shareholders shall be eligible to receive their pro-rata share, as determined by their equity holdings in Symplefy as of Closing, of the Earnout Payment (as defined below) payable in GOLQ Stock, which will be subject to resale restrictions as defined in the Share Exchange Agreement.  Upon the occurrence of Symplefy achieving three hundred sixty (360) paying customers, the earnout payment shall be a one-time issuance of $5,000,000 equivalent of GoLogiq stock (“Earnout Payment I”).  Upon the occurrence of Symplefy achieving two thousand (2000) paying customers, the earnout payment shall be a one-time issuance of $5,000,000 equivalent of GoLogiq stock (“Earnout Payment II”).  Upon the occurrence of Symplefy achieving four thousand nine hundred (4900) paying customers, the earnout payment shall be a one-time issuance of $5,000,000 equivalent of GoLogiq stock (“Earnout Payment III”).  

 

The Share Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby have been approved by the board of directors of the Company and Symplefy.

 

All descriptions of the Share Exchange Agreement herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text thereof filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Share Exchange Agreement governs the contractual rights between the parties in relation to the transactions contemplated thereby and contains customary representations and warranties and pre- and post-closing covenants of each party. The Share Exchange Agreement is not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, making disclosures regarding any facts and circumstances relating to the Company or Symplefy. The Share Exchange Agreement is described in this Current Report on Form 8-K and attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto only to provide investors with information regarding the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, and, except for its status as a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relationship among the parties thereto with respect to the transactions contemplated thereby, is not intended to provide any other factual information regarding the Company or Symplefy or the actual conduct of their respective businesses during the pendency of the Share Exchange Agreement, or to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about the Company contained in any of the Company’s public reports filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The representations and warranties contained in the Share Exchange Agreement have been negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing the circumstances under which a party may have the right not to consummate the transaction if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. These representations, warranties and covenants were made as of specific dates and only for purposes of the Share Exchange Agreement, not for the benefit of any investors, and are subject to important exceptions and limitations, including a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally relevant to investors, and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties exchanged in connection with the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement. The parties reserve the right to, but are not obligated to amend or revise the Share Exchange Agreement. Accordingly, investors should not rely on representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, or for any other purpose, at the time they were made or otherwise.
