Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 30, 2016, the Company and Quest Exchange Ltd. (“Quest Exchange”) entered into an Exchange and Transfer Agreement (the “Exchange and Transfer Agreement”) with Viascan Group Inc. (“VGI”) for the sale of the outstanding shares of Quest Solution Canada Inc. (formerly known as ViascanQData, Inc.) (“Quest Canada”) to VGI (the “Transaction”). Gilles Gaudreault, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors, has an equity interest in VGI. The Transaction closed on December 6, 2016, with an effective date of September 30, 2016.

 

Pursuant to the Exchange and Transfer Agreement, in consideration for the Transaction, VGI will pay approximately $1.0 million in cash to the Company, with $550,000 payable at closing, $300,000 payable on the one month anniversary of the signing date, and $150,000 payable on the two month anniversary of the signing date. Under the Exchange and Transfer Agreement, VGI transferred to the Company and Quest Exchange, as applicable: 5,200,000 exchangeable shares of Quest Exchange, one share of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and 1,049,250 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (in each case, including any related dividend rights). Pursuant to the Exchange and Transfer Agreement, VGI reimbursed the Company for certain intercompany advances for the benefit of Quest Canada since September 10, 2016 and assumed certain debts in the amount of approximately $1 million. The Exchange and Transfer Agreement provides that the Company will forgive the balance of all intercompany loans due to the Company from Quest Canada or VGI in the amount of approximately $7 million.

 

The Exchange and Transfer Agreement further provides that, in the event of a Change of Structure (as defined in the Exchange and Transfer Agreement) of Quest Canada or VGI during the seven year period following the closing of the Transaction, the Company has a right of first refusal to match any bona fide Change of Structure transaction offer received by Quest Canada or VGI. If the Company does not exercise its right of first refusal and Quest Canada or VGI proceeds to close a Change of Structure transaction with a third party, then the Company will receive 15% of the net proceeds of the transaction, up to $2.3 million.

 

The Exchange and Transfer Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and confidentiality, employee and customer non-solicitation, and indemnification provisions.

 

In connection with the Transaction, on November 30, 2016, the Company entered into a Redemption Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with Danis Kurdi and 3587967 Canada, Inc. Mr. Kurdi is the Company’s former Vice President of Printers and Media and has an equity interest in VGI. Under the Redemption Agreement, the Company redeemed 789,780 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. No additional payments were made to Mr. Kurdi for the redemption of his shares.

 

In addition, the employment agreements between the Company and Messrs. Gaudreault and Kurdi, Jean-Paul Chartier, Pierre André-Paulin and Bertrand Martelle were terminated and certain amounts owed to them by the Company were forgiven, and Messrs. Gaudreault, Chartier and Paulin transferred shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company.
