See Item 2.01 below for a discussion of the Purchase Agreement, the Lease Agreements and the Assignment and Assumption of Sales Agreement described therein.


Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.


As previously reported, on September 18, 2015 (the “Petition Date’), HII Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Apache Energy Services, LLC, Aqua Handling of Texas, LLC, Hamilton Investment Group, Inc. and Sage Power Solutions, Inc. (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 111 of the U.S. Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas Victoria Division (the “Court”). The Debtors are continuing in possession of their properties and are managing their businesses, as debtors in possession, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court. The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered by the Court under In re HII Technologies, et al. (Case No. 15-60070).


On January 4, 2016, the Debtors consummated the sale (the “Sale”) of certain non-core assets used in connection with the Debtors’ Frac Water Management operations, including assignment of an exclusive distribution agreement for Hydrow FLOW water treatment equipment pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 23, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Debtors and Heat Waves Water Management, LLC (the “Buyer”).   The purchase price paid by Buyer was $1,225,000 in cash at closing as well as assumption of certain liabilities related to Debtors’ agreement relating to its agreement with HydroFLOW and all liabilities associated with taxes, maintenance, insurance, and loss of any assets subject to lease agreements to be entered into between Buyer and Debtors at closing.   The Purchase Agreement provided Buyer with a right of first refusal to purchase or lease any additional assets not listed on the schedule of assets attached to the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and covenants and was subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of Bankruptcy Court approvals.


In addition, concurrent with (and as a condition to) the closing of the Sale, the Debtors entered into two separate lease agreements (the “Lease Agreements”) with Buyer: (i) the First Lease Agreement/Equipment Lease dated January 4, 2016 between Apache Energy Services LLC (Lessor) and Buyer for two (2) HydrowFLOW Units for a period of 24-months pursuant to which the Buyer/Lessee will pay Apache/Lessor $890 per month for each HydrowFLOW Unit leased and (ii) the Second Lease Agreement  dated January 4, 2016 between the Company/Lessor and Buyer/Lessee for three (3) 21-inch HydrowFLOW Units, and four (4) 14-inch HydrowFLOW Units for 24-months pursuant to which Buyer/Lessee will pay the Company/Lessor $800 per month for each 12-inch Unit leased and $927 per month for each 14-inch HydrowFLOW Unit leased.   Apache also assigned that certain Sales Agreement dated June 16, 2014 between Apache and HydrowFLOW Holdings USA LLC to Buyer concurrent with the closing of the sale on January 4, 2016 pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption of Sales Agreement.


On December 17, 2015, the Purchase Agreement and Sale (including the Lease Agreements and  the assignment of the HydrowFLOW Sales Agreement were approved by the Bankruptcy Court (the “Sale Order”) and the Purchase Agreement became enforceable against the Company. The Bankruptcy Court order approving the Purchase Agreement and Sale was entered following completion of an approved bidding process in which the Buyer provided highest or otherwise best bid providing a greater recovery for Debtors’ creditors than would be provided by practically any other alternative, as stated in the Sale Order.

The Sale Order provided that the proceeds of the Sale were to be applied as follows: (i) $211,500 to Hilco Industrial LLC for its services in connection with the Sale; (ii) $783,500 to the DIP Lenders; (iii) $50,000 was reserved for the name AES or Apache Energy Services to be disbursed only upon further order of the Court; (iv) $150,000 was reserved for the claim of BLC Equipment Leasing and disbursed only upon further order of the Court or stipulation of the Debtors, the DIP Lenders and BCL and (v) $30,000 was reserved for the Transfer Tax Holdback as required under the Purchase Agreement.
