The Company evaluated subsequent events through March 30, 2021, noting the following.  

 

Equity Offering

 

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) for the sale by the Company in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of 571,428 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price per share of Common Stock of $10.50.

 

On February 2, 2021, the Company closed its registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of 571,428 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $10.50 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $6,000, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Company is utilizing the net proceeds for general working capital.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the Purchasers and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to certain restrictions on the issuance and sale of its shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) during the 45-day period following the closing of the Offering.

 

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as the sole placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) for the Company on a “reasonable best efforts” basis in connection with the Offering. The Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated as of January 29, 2021, by and between the Company and the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agency Agreement”). Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Placement Agent will be entitled to a cash fee of 7% of the gross proceeds paid to the Company for the securities, reimbursement for accountable legal expenses incurred by it in connection with the Offering of up to $35.

 

The shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-251645) (the “Registration Statement”), which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2020, and was declared effective on December 29, 2020.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, such representations, warranties, and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the transaction, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company. Stockholders should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Placement Agency Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement and the Placement Agency Agreement, a copy of each of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 1.1, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as field on January 29, 2021 and each is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Sale of ARCA and Connexx

 

On February 19, 2021, the Company, together with its subsidiaries (a) ARCA Recycling, Inc., a California corporation (“ARCA”), and (b) Customer Connexx LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Connexx”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with (i) ARCA Affiliated Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (ii) ARCA Services Inc., a Delaware corporation, and (iii) Connexx Services Inc, a Delaware corporation (collectively, the “Buyers”), pursuant to which the Buyers agreed to acquire substantially all of the assets, and assume certain liabilities, of ARCA and Connexx (the “Disposition Transaction”).  The principal of the Buyers is Virland A. Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer. The Disposition Transaction is expected to be consummated on or before August 18, 2021.  In the event the Disposition Transaction is not closed by such date, the Purchase Agreement may be terminated and, in accordance with its terms, the Buyers may be required to pay to us a “break fee” of $250.  The Purchase Agreement and the Disposition Transaction were unanimously approved by our Board of Directors at a meeting during the portion of which the Purchase Agreement and Disposition Transaction were considered and voted on Mr. Johnson was not present.

The purchase price that the Buyers have agreed to pay to us in the Disposition Transaction is $25,000, subject to certain adjustments, including a potential increase in the purchase price due to an earnout, the assumption of certain debt of ARCA, Connexx, or us, and potential indemnification claims (collectively, the “Initial Aggregate Consideration”).  At closing, $7,500 of the Aggregate Consideration will be paid in immediately available funds, and $17,500 of the Initial Aggregate Consideration will be paid pursuant to the terms of the Buyers’ promissory note in our favor (the “Note”), which Note will bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum on the unpaid balance thereof.  The Buyers’ payment obligations under the Note will be subordinated to the Buyers’ obligations to their Disposition Transaction lender(s), with the terms of such subordination to be determined upon Buyers’ identification of their lender(s).  The parties have made customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities in connection with the Disposition Transaction.

Commencing on February 19, 2021, (i) the Buyers will seek financing for the balance of the Initial Aggregate Consideration and (ii) the parties will prepare and negotiate the terms and conditions of certain ancillary documentation, including, without limitation, disclosure schedules, bills of sale, assignment and assumption agreements, the Note, and any related subordination documentation with Buyers’ Disposition Transaction lender(s).

The Purchase Agreement contains certain representations and warranties that the parties made to each other as of the date of the Purchase Agreement or such other date as specifically referenced therein.  The representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and (i) are subject to limitations agreed by the parties in negotiating the terms and conditions thereof, (ii) may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, (iii) will be qualified by the underlying disclosure schedules, (iv) may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to investors, and (v) may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties thereto, rather than for establishing any matters as facts.  Information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after February 19, 2021, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in JanOne’s public disclosures.  For the foregoing reasons, the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement should not be relied upon as statements of factual information.
