Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 5, 2023, Recruiter.com Group, Inc. ("Recruiter.com" or "Buyer") entered
into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with GoLogiq Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("GoLogiq" or "Seller"). The Seller owns all of the
issued and outstanding membership interest (the "Company Membership Interests")
of GOLQ LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the "Company"). Pursuant to the
Agreement, the Seller is selling to the Buyer, and Buyer is purchasing from
Seller the Company Membership Interests, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Agreement.
In exchange for the Company Membership Interests, the Buyer is agreeing to pay
the Seller total consideration of (1) the number of shares of common stock of
the Buyer ("Buyer Common Stock") that represents 84% of the total issued and
outstanding shares of the Buyer common stock at the closing of the purchase of
the Company Membership Interest ("Closing" and such date, the "Closing Date")
and (2) an earn-out payment (the "Earn-Out Payment") payable pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement. The Earn-Out Payment will be payable if on a date that
is six months after the Closing Date (the "Earn-Out Determination Date"),
Buyer's market capitalization at the close of the trading day (the "Buyer Market
Cap") exceeds the Assumed Closing Valuation. The assumed closing valuation
refers to the current value of the Company, which is deemed to be $105,000,000
("Assumed Closing Valuation"). The Assumed Closing Valuation is the sum of the
Company's assumed valuation of $88,000,000 and the Buyer's assumed valuation of
$17,000,000. The Earn-Out Payment shall be as follows: (i) if the Buyer Market
Cap on the Earn-Out Determination Date exceeds the Assumed Closing Valuation but
is less than or equals to $130,000,000, Seller shall receive such additional
number of shares of Buyer Common Stock representing seventy percent (70%) of the
increase in value over the Assumed Closing Valuation; (ii) if the Buyer Market
Cap on the Earn-out Determination Date exceeds $130,000,000 but is less than or
equals to $160,000,000, Seller shall receive such additional number of shares of
Buyer Common Stock representing eighty percent (80%) of the increase in value
over the Assumed Closing Valuation; and (iii) if the Buyer Market Cap on the
Earn-out Determination Date exceeds $160,000,000, Seller shall receive such
additional number of shares of Buyer Common Stock representing ninety percent
(90%) of the increase in value over the Assumed Closing Valuation.
Concurrent with the Closing, Recruiter.com's existing operating business,
assets, and liabilities are planned to be spun off into a new entity that will
be quoted on the OTC Market ("NewCo"). Upon the completion of such spin-off, the
legacy stockholders of record for Recruiter.com prior to the Closing Date will
hold securities in Buyer and NewCo.
The Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the parties
customary for a transaction of this nature. In addition, the Buyer and the
Company agreed to indemnify the other party and its respective affiliates,
officers, directors, employees and other representatives for certain losses,
including, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties and
covenants, subject to certain negotiated limitations, thresholds and survival
periods set forth in the Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and
is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Agreement,
a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
is incorporated herein by reference.
