Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
On October 19, 2009, Reed’s Inc. (“Reed’s”) executed an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Sonoma Cider Mill, Inc., a California corporation (“Sonoma”), to acquire certain assets of the Sonoma Sparkler brand. Since June 1, 2009, based on a non-binding letter of intent, the Company has been packing and selling the six Sonoma Sparkler brand products in anticipation of completion of this acquisition. The assets purchased in this transaction include the intellectual property knows as the Sonoma Sparkler label and formulas for all six flavors currently on the market, customer lists and vendor contact information, assignable licenses and permits and existing inventory.
There is no material relationship, other than in respect of this transaction, between Sonoma and Reed’s or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of Reed’s, or any associate of any such director or officer.
The aggregate purchase price under the Agreement is $252,000. Initial payments of $54,000 have been completed and the balance of $198,000 is payable in installments of $9,000 over 22 remaining months, continuing on the first of every month with the next payment due on November 1, 2009. In the event Reed’s fails to make any installment payment when due, Sonoma shall provide Reed’s with written notice of default, and if Reed’s does not perform within thirty (30) days after such default notice, Sonoma shall have the right to immediately accelerate the unpaid balance due under this Agreement.
