Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 1, 2021, WidePoint Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with IT Authorities, Inc. (the “Seller”) and its shareholders (the “Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of the Seller’s managed information technology service provider business (the “Business”). The closing purchase price paid by the Company consisted of $4.75 million in cash and 75,000 warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock for an exercise price of $5.33 per share (“Warrants”) for a period of four years. In addition, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration to the Seller as follows: (i) up to an additional $250,000 and 75,000 Warrants exercisable for four years depending on the EBITDA of the Business in 2021; (ii) up to an additional $1.0 million and 150,000 Warrants exercisable for three years depending on the EBITDA of the Business in 2022; (iii) up to an additional $1.0 million and 125,000 Warrants exercisable for three years depending on the EBITDA of the Business in 2023; and (iv) up to an additional $1.0 million and 125,000 Warrants exercisable for three years depending on the EBITDA of the Business in 2024. In addition, the Company entered into employment agreements with two of the founders of the Seller and in the event of the termination of either employee without cause (or by the employee for good reason), the contingent consideration payable under the Purchase Agreement will be deemed earned and payable for earn-out periods that have not been completed at the time of termination.
