Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On January 10, 2013, EQM Technologies & Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) and Beacon Energy (Texas) Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Beacon Energy”), completed the sale of Beacon Energy’s biodiesel production facility based in Cleburne, TX and related assets, constituting substantially all of the assets of the Company’s biodiesel production segment (the “Transaction”), to Delek Renewables, LLC (“Buyer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Delek US Holdings, Inc., pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Consideration for the Transaction consists of (i) $5,489,444 in cash, (ii) Buyer’s assumption of certain liabilities related to the purchased assets, and (iii) certain contingent consideration related to the federal biodiesel blenders tax credit in the year 2012.
The Company used approximately $2 million of the proceeds from the Transaction to pay off all unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Company’s secured subordinated notes that were secured by the assets sold in the Transaction, and intends to use the remainder of the proceeds for payment of expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction and for general corporate purposes.
The entry into and the terms of the Purchase Agreement were previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2013.
On January 10, 2013, concurrently with the completion of the Transaction, Beacon Energy and Buyer terminated the Biodiesel Toll Production Agreement, dated as of March 21, 2012 (the “Tolling Agreement”), pursuant to which Beacon Energy produced biodiesel for Buyer. Under the Tolling Agreement, Buyer supplied Beacon Energy with all working capital for feedstock purchases and committed to purchase all finished biodiesel produced from such feedstock at a price per gallon of finished biodiesel produced that covered Beacon Energy’s operating costs and included a service fee for production that was inclusive of Beacon Energy’s profit margin per gallon.
