Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 27, 2017, we consummated the acquisition of assets from Fyoosion LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fyoosion”). We had previously reported on December 3, 2017, that we executed a Memorandum of Understanding with Fyoosion to acquire these assets. Fyoosion’s proprietary software utilizes a digital automation marketing platform for businesses of all types to enable companies to efficiently generate sales leads and improve customer retention. We intend to use this marketing software with all our existing businesses and to create new opportunities outside our current scope of business.
The assets acquired included the following:
| • | all of Fyoosion’s worldwide right, title and interest in all Fyoosion trademarks (registered or common law), service marks, trade names, service names, brand names, all trade dress rights, logos, Internet domain names and corporate names and general intangibles of a like nature, together with the goodwill associated with any of the foregoing, and all pending applications, registrations and renewals thereof, owned or used by the Company, and all variations of the “Fyoosian LLC” trademarks and trade names (collectively, the “Marks”); |
| • | all technology, including all designs, methods, techniques, ideas, know-how, research and development, technical data, programs, materials, specifications, processes, inventions (patentable or unpatentable), patents, creations, improvements, works of authorship and other similar materials, and all recordings, drawings, reports, analyses, and other writings, and other tangible embodiment of the foregoing, in any form whether or not specifically listed herein, and all related technology that are used in, incorporated in, embodied in, displayed by or relate to, or are used or useful in the design, development, reproduction, maintenance or modification of, any of the products developed, manufactured, marketed or sold by Fyoosion using the Marks, whether work in process, pending application or in final form; |
| • | all copyrights and registrations and applications therefor and works of authorship, and mask work rights relating to goods sold bearing the Marks; |
| • | patterns, molds, tasks, computer aided designs (CADs), samples and designs owned or used by Fyoosion with respect to the Marks; |
| • | all books, records or files related to the Marks, |
| • | all artwork, photography and archival material (including but not limited to advertising materials, copy, commercials, catalogues, images, and artwork, as well as brand books, samples, and other material) owned by Fyoosion related to the Marks; |
| • | all visitor tracking codes and analysis, including but not limited to hits, page(s) viewed and unique visitors to the Fyoosion website (the “Website”) on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, and all related charts, graphs and tools, records relating to third parties Fyoosion pays to advertise the Website, and records relating to third parties who place advertising on the Website, whether paid or gratis; |
| • | email lists and addresses related to the business of the Fyoosion utilizing the Marks; and |
| • | records and documents, whether in hard copy or electronic, including all material files maintained by Fyoosion attorney(s), to the extent relating to any of the foregoing. |
In consideration for these Assets we issued an aggregate of 300,000 shares of our Common Stock. These shares are subject to a leakout agreement limiting the number of shares that can be sold during the one-year period following the date of the agreement to 25% of the daily average trading volume during the period prior to such sale.
The agreement also provides that up to an additional 200,000 shares of our “restricted” Common Shares can be earned and will become payable to Fyoosion or its assigns only if the proposed business utilizing the Assets attains $125,000 in pre-tax earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) calculated using generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the one-year period post-closing. This calculation shall be based upon Fyoosion stand-alone performance excluding any of our intercompany revenue and expense, and will not include any corporate fees or charges.

We have also agreed to retain two of the members of Fyoosion as employees.
We also assumed $262,357 in debt as part of this transaction. We have engaged in discussions with these creditors and as of the date of this Report, we have settled $165,286 of this debt in consideration for the issuance of 275,476 shares of our Common Stock.
A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.6 hereto. The value of the acquired assets does not require that we file any audited financial statements relating to these assets as part of this report.
