Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 3, 2023, GBT Tokenize Corp. (“Seller”), a subsidiary that is owned 50% by GBT Technologies, Inc (“GBT”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Trend Innovation Holdings, Inc. ( “TREN”), in which GBT consented, pursuant to which Seller sold certain assets relating to proprietary system and method named Avant-Ai, which is a text-generation, deep learning self-training model (the “System”).
In consideration of acquiring the System, TREN is required to issue to the Seller 26,000,000 common shares of TREN (the “Shares”). The Shares will be restricted per Rule 144 as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and Seller agreed to a lock-up period of nine (9) months following closing (the “Lock Up Term”). In the event that TREN is unable to up-list to Nasdaq either through a business combination or otherwise prior to the expiration of the Lock Up Term, the Seller may request within three (3) business days of the expiration of the Lock-Up Term, that all transactions contemplated by the APA be unwound.
In addition, TREN, Seller and GBT entered into a license agreement regarding the System, granting the Seller and/or GBT a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license for using the System to be used in its own development, as in-house tool, where Seller or GBT may not sublicense its rights hereunder to any customer or client.
The foregoing description of the terms of the above transactions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the provisions of such agreements, the forms of which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
