ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION

 

On July 15, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), Tauriga Sciences, Inc., a Florida corporation, (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of Honeywood LLC, a California limited liability company (“Honeywood”), pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by Amendment No.1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 15, 2014 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Doc Greene’s Acquisition Sub, LLC, a limited liability company (“Honeywood Acquiror”), Honeywood, Elie Green, Daniel Kosmal and Ramona Rubin (collectively, the “Sellers”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, Honeywood Acquiror merged with and into Honeywood, with Honeywood being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). A description of the exchange of membership interests was contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated March 14, 2014 and is incorporated by reference hereto.

 

In addition, the parties to the Merger Agreement, dated March 10, 2014, agreed to amend certain terms of the merger simultaneously with the closing of the Merger. The material changes set forth in the Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement included: (i) the reduction of the purchase price from 32% of the Company’s restricted shares of common stock to approximately to 15.457% of the Company’s restricted shares of common stock (or 109,414,235 shares of restricted common stock) paid on a pro rata basis to the Sellers at the Closing , (ii) the addition of the payment of 18,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted shares of common stock paid at closing to Royal Oak Consulting, LLC in connection with the satisfaction of any fees owed to it by Honeywood prior to Closing, (iii) the addition of a covenant that the Sellers will have the opportunity to collectively earn up to an additional aggregate equal to 10% of the Company’s restricted shares common stock outstanding (utilizing the same initial Closing Date) upon achieving the following gross revenue based milestones: upon the generation and receipt of $2,000,000 of gross revenues derived strictly from the sale and licensing of Honeywood’s products, the Sellers shall each be issued either restricted stock or stock options equal to 1.6666% shares of common stock of the Company upon the generation and receipt of an additional $2,000,000 ($4,000,000 total gross revenues by Honeywood), the Sellers shall each be issued an additional 1.6666% restricted shares of common stock of the Company (each such additional issuance to be set off the outstanding shares immediately prior to the Closing Date), and (iv) address a plan for management of Honeywood following the merger.

 

In connection with the closing of the merger, each of the Sellers entered a Release and Covenant Not to Sue in favor of the Company, and a Standstill Agreement with the Company, agreeing to restrictions on acquisition of additional Company capital stock and transactions involving Company.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Release and Covenant Not to Sue, the Standstill Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreements.
