American Robotics Acquisition
Merger Agreement
On May 17, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Drone Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), Drone Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II” and, together with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”), American Robotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“American Robotics”), and Reese Mozer, solely in his capacity as the representative of American Robotics’ Stockholders (as defined in the Agreement).
The Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, American Robotics will merge with and into Merger Sub I (“Merger I”), with American Robotics as the surviving entity, and American Robotics will then subsequently and immediately merge with and into Merger Sub II (“Merger II” and, together with Merger I, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving entity and as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Mergers are subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021.
The Agreement provides that the Company will acquire American Robotics in exchange for (a) cash consideration in an amount equal to (i) $7,500,000, less certain transaction expenses as described in the Agreement (the “Cash Consideration”); (b) 6,750,000 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, as such number may be adjusted by the terms of the Agreement; (c) warrants, in the form of Exhibit E of the Agreement, exercisable for 1,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (each a “Warrant”), as such number may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Agreement; and (d) the cash released to the Company Stockholders from the PPP Loan Escrow Amount (as defined in the Agreement) (if any). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase a number of shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to the average of the high and low prices of one share of common stock as reported on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately preceding the closing date of the Mergers. Each Warrant shall be exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing on the one year anniversary of the closing date of the Mergers and shall have a term of ten years.
If American Robotics’ PPP loans are not forgiven by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) prior to the closing of the Mergers, a portion of the Cash Consideration equaling Indebtedness owed by American Robotics on either of its PPP loans plus an amount equal to the amount of interest that would have accrued on such PPP loans as of their maturity dates, will be held in escrow with American Robotics’ PPP lender. If an escrow account is established to hold the PPP Loan Escrow Amount at the closing, such amount or a portion thereof, as applicable, will be distributed as merger consideration to American Robotics’ Stockholders upon a determination by the SBA that one or both of the PPP loans are forgivable under the CARES Act.
Each of the Company, the Merger Subs, and American Robotics has provided customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement. The completion of the Mergers is subject to various closing conditions, including (a) the requisite regulatory approvals being obtained; (b) the absence of any applicable order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) in effect which prohibits the consummation of the Mergers; (c) the absence of any law of any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction prohibiting the consummation of the Mergers; (d) American Robotics obtaining the Requisite Company Vote (as defined in the Agreement); and (e) the Company obtaining stockholder approval of the issuance of securities in the Mergers.
The Agreement contains customary termination rights for both the Company and American Robotics. Both the Company and American Robotics have the right to terminate the Agreement if the Closing does not occur on or before September 30, 2021.
Also on the closing date of the Mergers, the Company expects to enter into employment agreements and issue up to 1,375,000 restricted stock units under the Company’s incentive stock plan to key members of American Robotics’ management.
Lock-Up and Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Mergers, on May 17, 2021, the Company entered into a lock-up and registration rights agreement, by and among the Company and the directors and officers of American Robotics (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (i) the Company agreed to file a resale registration statement for the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) no later than 90 days following the closing of the Mergers, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to become effective as promptly as practicable following such filing, (ii) the directors and officers and other American Robotics stockholders who sign a joinder to such agreement were granted certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the closing of the Mergers, and (iii) the directors and officers agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to sell, transfer or dispose of any Company common stock for a period of 180 days from the closing of the Mergers.
Promissory Note
On April 22, 2021, the Company made a loan to American Robotics in the aggregate amount of $2.0 million. The note carries interest at a rate of 2% per annum. The principal and any accrued and unpaid interest shall be due on April 22, 2022.
Steward Capital Waiver
On April 14, 2021, the Company requested Steward Capital’s waiver of Section 7 (Covenants of Borrower), in connection with the currently proposed acquisition of American Robotics by the Company. In connection with the waiver, the Company agreed to upon consummation of the proposed acquisition, pay Steward Capital an additional $280,000 and upon the consummation of the proposed acquisition, Steward and the Company shall amend the Agreement to modify the defined term “collateral” to include the intellectual property of American Robotics.
Consulting Agreement
On April 1, 2021 the company entered into a consulting agreement with a vendor to perform strategic analysis and business development services to the Company. As part of the compensation for services provided, the Company granted non-statutory options under 2018 Plan to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a per share exercise price equal to $8.72. The options shall vest on September 30, 2021, and shall be exercisable for a period of 5 years following the grant date of the options.
