In connection with the closing of the acquisition described below in Item 2.01, The Big Tomato, Inc., a Colorado corporation which is wholly-owned by Monarch America, Inc., entered into a two-year employment agreement, effective as of January 1, 2015 (the “Employment Agreement”), with each of Jeremy N.

In the event the agreement is terminated by the employer without “cause” or by the employee as a result of “constructive termination” (as such terms are defined in the agreement), the employee will receive a bonus based upon the aforesaid net revenues notwithstanding termination of his agreement. The agreement also provides that the employer pay health insurance premiums for the employee and his family (including SIS supplemental insurance), automobile and gas expenses of $1,000 per month and communication expenses of $500 per month.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On January 14, 2015, Monarch America, Inc. (f/k/a Cannabis Kinetics, Corp.) (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of Jeremy N. Stout, Inc. d/b/a The Big Tomato, a Colorado corporation (“TBT”), pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 22, 2014, as amended by the Amendment to Merger Agreement, dated January 1, 2015 (collectively, the “Amended Merger Agreement”), between the Company, TBT, and The Big Tomato, a Colorado company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”), and Jeremy N. Stout and Josh Field, the shareholders of TBT (the “Shareholders”).

 

As of the closing of the acquisition, Acquisition Sub was merged with and into TBT (the “Merger”) and Acquisition Sub, as the surviving corporation, remained as the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In addition to $400,000 in cash paid by the Company to the Shareholders at closing, an aggregate of 8,100,000 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to the Shareholders. The Company also issued a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (collectively, the “Notes”) to each of the Shareholders. The Notes are payable in eight equal installments of $125,000 commencing April 1, 2015, accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum and are secured by a first priority lien on all the assets of TBT pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2015, between TBT and the Shareholders, as secured parties (the “Security Agreement”). As additional security for the Notes, the Company entered into a Stock Pledge Agreement, effective as of January 1, 2015 with the Shareholders (the “Stock Pledge Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pledge all of the shares of Acquisition Sub to the Shareholders. The security interest in such assets and the pledged stock is the exclusive remedy in the event of a default under the Notes. The Notes also provide that the Company shall be entitled to offset any damages incurred by it or its affiliates against the principal amount of the Notes arising from an inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Shareholders or TBT or failure to perform or comply with the Notes or other agreements or documents delivered in connection with the Merger.
