Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 26, 2012, Shelter Express Corp. (the “Seller”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “December 26th 8-K”) announcing that it entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Manisha Patel (the “Purchaser”) for the sale of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Shares”) of Seller’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Shelter Electric Maintenance Corp. (the “Company”) to Purchaser.
As more fully set forth in the December 26th 8-K, the closing of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement is subject to and contingent upon Purchaser (i) substituting the Company’s performance bonds with comparable performance bonds, and (ii) securing the consent of all third parties to the agreements being acquired by Purchaser, if necessary.
On December 20, 2012, the December 31, 2012 outside closing date of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement was extended by fifteen (15) days to January 15, 2013, by written notice from Seller to Purchaser. On January 3, 2013, both parties consented to a further extension of the January 15, 2013 closing date to February 28, 2013, in order to afford the parties more time to secure certain required third-party consents.
