Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Acquisition of Effortless IVF Canada, Inc.
On September 1, 2021, we consummated the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding stock of Effortless IVF Canada, Inc. (“Target”) pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement dated September 1, 2021 by and among the registrant, Target and the shareholders of Target (the “Purchase Agreement”). The purchase price consisted of: (a) cash in the amount of $25,000; and (b) 30,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the registrant’s common stock. In addition, there exists an earn-out provision under which 20,000 shares of the registrant’s common stock will be issued to the Target shareholders for each clinic that is established and operational and performing the INVO procedure either directly or as a separate service offer and in which the Target shareholders provided support in the form of an initial clinic introduction, start-up support, operating procedures, technology education or other INVO-approved criteria, up to an initial 3 clinics (for a total of up to 60,000 total shares) (the "Earn-Out Shares"), within 24 months after the closing (i.e. August 31, 2023). The registrant also agreed to reimburse the Target shareholders for their legal costs in connection with the Acquisition up to $4,000. The registrant relied on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the offer and sale of the Shares.
The Target was originally formed by its shareholders to establish fertility clinics that would offer the INVO procedure. The Target developed important procedures and documentation necessary to establish such clinical operations under Canadian rules and regulations. Registrant acquired the entity to help accelerate its own efforts to develop the INVO Center clinic model within the Canadian marketplace – similar to the approach recently accomplished by registrant in the U.S. market. Registrant intends to rename Target as “INVO Canada.”
The paragraphs above describe certain of the material terms of the Purchase Agreement. Such description is not a complete description of the material terms of the Purchase Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement entered into in connection therewith which are included as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 2.01 by reference.
