Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 28, 2013, Twin Cities Power Holdings, LLC (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Gregg Ruth (“Ruth”), Peter McCawley (“McCawley”), and Lynn Acorda (“Acorda”; Ruth, McCawley and Acorda are referred to collectively as the “Sellers”), and RMA Services, LLC (“RMA”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests in Discount Energy Group, LLC (“DEG”). DEG is currently licensed to provide electricity to residential and commercial customers in the states of Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and has a license application pending in Illinois. The consideration for the acquisition will be approximately $300,000 in cash plus additional cash payments equal to the net amounts on deposit with certain wholesale electricity exchanges and utilities (estimated to be approximately $41,000 and $282,000, respectively). RMA, which is owned by the Sellers, will also be compensated on a fixed price and performance incentive basis for certain services to be provided to DEG after the closing of the transaction, pursuant to a management services agreement that will be entered into at closing. The Company has also agreed to make a short term loan to RMA in an amount to be determined at closing based on certain liabilities being assumed by RMA from DEG in the transaction. Repayment of this loan will be secured by all of the assets and membership interests in RMA.

 

The closing and funding of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement remain subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, regulatory approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
