Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 6, 2015, Trillium Pond AG (“Trillium Pond”), a Swiss corporation wholly owned by CVSL AG, a Swiss corporation wholly owned by CVSL Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Findel plc (“Findel”), a company incorporated in England whose registered office is at 2 Gregory Street, Hyde, Cheshire SK14 4TH to purchase from Findel all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Kleeneze Limited (“Kleeneze”), a company incorporated in England and Wales whose registered office is at 2 Gregory Street, Hyde, Cheshire SK14 4TH. Kleeneze has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Kleeneze (Ireland) Limited.

 

Kleeneze was founded in 1923 and sells a variety of household goods through a network of more than 7,000 independent sales representatives in the U.K. and Ireland.

 

Pursuant to the SPA, Trillium Pond has agreed to acquire all 2,500,001 shares of Kleeneze common stock issued and outstanding in exchange for payment to Findel of Three Million Six Hundred Eighteen Thousand Five Hundred Thirty-Four pounds sterling (£3,618,534) (the “Base Consideration”) subject to adjustment based on Kleeneze’s final last twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“LTM EBITDA”) calculated prior to the closing date. The closing date is expected to be within 45 days of the execution of the SPA. Of the Base Consideration, Five Hundred Thousand pounds sterling (£500,000) will be held in a Retention or Escrow Account pending the final determination of the LTM EBITDA, if necessary. The SPA contains customary conditions required to be fulfilled or waived prior to consummation of the acquisition. There can be no guarantee that the conditions to closing will be met.

 

Should the LTM EBITDA fall below a predetermined amount, a portion of the Base Consideration can be paid, at Trillium Pond’s option, in either cash or shares of CVSL Inc. Common Stock, par value $0.0001 (“CVSL Shares”). Should the LTM EBITDA exceed the benchmark amount, the consideration will be increased by five times the increase of LTM EBITDA over the predetermined amount, but in no instance will total consideration exceed Five Million pounds sterling (£5,000,000). Any consideration paid above the Base Consideration is to be paid in CVSL Shares.

 

The SPA provides that Kleeneze is to maintain approximately Five Million One Hundred Nineteen Thousand Nine Hundred Forty-Nine pounds sterling (£5,119,949) of total working capital at closing, of which Eight Hundred Sixty Six Thousand pounds sterling (£866,000) shall be cash held by Kleeneze at closing.

 

As part of the SPA, Findel agrees to indemnify Trillium Pond against certain losses relating to potential breaches of the SPA, certain fees and expenses, and certain post-closing liabilities of Kleeneze.  

 

The closing of the SPA is conditioned upon the delivery and execution of a Service Level Agreement (the “SLA”) between Findel’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Express Gifts Limited (“EGL”), and Kleeneze to be entered into providing for (i) EGL to continue to providing warehousing, packaging and fulfillment services, as well as other services such as of office space and information technology support, to Kleeneze for a minimum of eighteen (18) months after the closing, and (ii) Kleeneze to pay a fee per shipped order, dependent on the warehouse location, as well as certain fees associated with the other services in the SLA.

 

In addition, the closing of the SPA is also conditioned upon the delivery and execution of a Transitional Services Agreement (the “TSA”) between Kleeneze and Findel providing for (i) Findel to continue to provide certain administrative functions to Kleeneze for a maximum of twelve months after the closing and (ii) Kleeneze paying Findel agreed upon fees for such administrative services during the term of the TSA. Such services will include finance support, human resources and other back office services to support Kleeneze’s ongoing operations.

 

The Company and Kleeneze anticipate entering into employment agreements with certain key Kleeneze personnel. The terms of such employment agreements are anticipated to be finalized prior to the closing of the transactions.

 

Should any CVSL Shares be issued by the Company to Findel as part of the consideration, such shares will be issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and such issuance is subject to approval by the NYSE MKT.

   

The foregoing descriptions of the SPA, the SLA and the TSA do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 10.3, respectively.
