Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on April 6, 2020, Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Mr. Kelin Wu, an accredited and sophisticated investor based in the People’s Republic of China (the “Seller”) and Mandarine Ocean Ltd (“Mandarine”), a shipping company registered in the Marshall Islands, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase 75% of the equity of Mandarine from the Seller, and the Seller agreed to sell such 75% interest to the Company, for a purchase price of up to USD 3,750,000, payable in cash equivalent and/or restricted shares of common stock of the Company, no par value per share (“Common Stock”).
The exact purchase price paid to the Seller depends on the appraised value of Mandarine and on the audited financial results for Mandarine as a whole during the fiscal years ending June 30, 2021 and 2022. Following completion of an appraisal of Mandarine, the parties agreed to amend the Purchase Agreement to reduce the purchase price payable to the Seller.
On June 17, 2020, the parties entered the First Amended and Restated Share Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”), which was substantially similar to the Purchase Agreement other than a reduction in purchase price and related changes in the payment schedule. The new purchase price will be up to USD 1,500,000, payable in cash equivalent and/or restricted shares of Common Stock.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
In connection with the sale of the Shares, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and Amendment, and the transaction contemplated thereby described in Item 1.01 above, the Company will issue shares of Common Stock to the Seller in reliance on (a) the exemption from Section 5 of the Securities Act contained in Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder, as the Investor is an “accredited investor”, as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) Regulation D and (b) Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction not involving any public offering.
Item 9.01Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(d) Exhibits.
