Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 5, 2006, American Basketball Association, Inc. (the “Company) and Big Apple Consulting USA, Inc. (“Big Apple”) entered an agreement (the “Big Apple Agreement”) pursuant to which, Big Apple is to provide investor management services to the Company. The term of the Big Apple Agreement is through December 5, 2008. Pursuant to the Big Apple Agreement, Big Apple is entitled to receive $75,000 per month or $1,800,000 for the term of the Big Apple Agreement. The Company is permitted to pay the monthly fee in shares of common stock. However, the number of shares to be issue in lieu of a cash payment has been left blank. Big Apple is also entitled to purchase up to $2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a 40% discount, which such shares are required to be deposited into an escrow account and issued as free trading shares. Further, the Company is required to file a registration statement an undetermined number of shares on behalf of Big Apple. Finally, the Big Apple Agreement contains an antidilution notification clause pursuant to which the Company must notify Big Apple of any stock issuance. If the Company fails to notify Big Apple of such issuances, then the Company is required to pay a cash penalty to Big Apple. The Company contends that the Agreement has been terminated and is not enforceable due to lack of performance. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against any action that may be instituted by Big Apple against the Company seeking any of the above compensation.
On December 13, 2006, Thaddeus A. Wier, Jr. (“Weir”) and the Company entered into an advisory agreement (the “Weir Agreement”). Pursuant to the Weir Agreement, Weir agreed to provide the Company with various consulting services in consideration of a fee of $6,000 per month and shares of common stock equal to 4.9% of the oustanding shares of common stock of the Company. The term of the Weir Agreement is through January 31, 2009. Further, pursuant to a preamble in the Weir Agreement, the Company has agreed to appoint Mr. Weir as a director of the Company. In January 2007, the Company contacted Weir to advise him that the Weir Agreement has been terminated and is not enforceable due to lack of performance. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against any action that may be instituted by Weir against the Company seeking any of the above compensation.
