Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement and Closing
As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 26, 2022 (the “Prior Form 8-K”), on January 21, 2022, Stran & Company, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with G.A.P. Promotions, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (the “Seller”), Gayle Piraino (“Piraino”) and Stephen Piraino (together with Piraino, the “Members”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets of the Seller used in the Seller’s branding, marketing and promotional products and services business, for an aggregate purchase price of (a) $500,000 in cash, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Cash Payment”); (b) a certain amount of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock; (c) installment payments equal to (i) $180,000 on the first anniversary of the date of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”) and (ii) $300,000 on the second anniversary of the Closing Date; (d) an amount equal to the amount paid by the Seller (at cost) for all of the Seller’s Inventory (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) that is on hand as of the Closing Date; and (e) the Earn Out Payments, as defined in the Prior Form 8-K (the “Acquisition”).
On January 31, 2022, the Company, the Seller and the Members entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) to amend certain terms of the Purchase Agreement. Following entry into the Amendment, closing of the Acquisition was completed on the same day.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the number of the Buyer Shares was changed to be the number of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to the quotient of $100,000 divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the close of the last trading date prior to the date of the Amendment. As previously agreed under the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer Shares will be issued under a separate restricted stock grant agreement and will vest over a one (1) year period (1/4 per quarter) beginning the first quarter after the Closing Date. The Buyer Shares will be issued according to applicable regulatory and compliance requirements. The Buyer Shares will be restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection with their issuance.
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, which are incorporated herein
by reference.
