Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 1, 2021, Financial Gravity Companies, Inc. (“Financial Gravity”) and NCW Group, Inc., a California corporation (“NCW”), a registered investment advisor, entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) under which Financial Gravity will acquire NCW in an all-stock transaction, and NCW will be merged into Financial Gravity’s subsidiary, Forta Financial Group, Inc. (“Forta”), with Forta being the surviving company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors at both firms, existing Financial Gravity shareholders will have approximately 90% ownership stake in the combined company, and existing NCW shareholders will have approximately 10% ownership stake in the combined company, on a fully diluted basis. A majority of the shareholders of Financial Gravity approved the transaction and all of the shareholders of NCW approved the transaction.

 

The transaction will formerly close when the California Secretary of State accepts the Certificate of Merger and the California Agreement of Merger that will be filed. At that time, an existing NCW shareholder will be appointed a member of the Board of Directors of Financial Gravity, pursuant to the Voting Agreement which appears as Exhibit C to the Merger Agreement.

 

The Voting Agreement provides that a person designated by the NCW shareholders will serve on the Board of Directors of Financial Gravity for a period of five years.

 

The Merger Agreement is filed as an Exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete

 

and is qualified by reference to the Merger Agreement.
