SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT'S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
ITEM 1.01 - ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On November 1, 2024, we entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Ralf Koehler ("Ralf"), SwissLink Carrier Ltd., ("SwissLink") and Impact Trading & Consulting LLC ("Impact") for the purpose of outlining the understanding regarding the exchange of 49% ownership in SwissLink for our shares. Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties agreed that the execution of the final agreement will be subject to mutual consent and negotiations based on the terms already agreed below:
| | • | The agreed valuation to purchase Ralf’s 49% ownership interest in SwissLink is set at $750,000 USD. | |
| | • | The term of this agreement will be for five (5) years plus six (6) months (“Termination Date”), commencing on the date of the execution of the final agreement ("Final Agreement"). | |
| | • | Ownership will be transferred from Ralf to us in tranches, with each tranche comprising up to 10% of ownership per year. | |
| | • | The option to execute each tranche can be initiated by Ralf within each one-year period through the submission of a "trigger letter" by e-mail to us. If Ralf does not exercise his right to trigger the agreement during any year, we reserve the right to initiate the tranche execution at any point thereafter. | |
| | • | Share Calculation: The number of iQSTEL shares to be provided in exchange for each tranche will be determined based on the lowest closing price of iQSTEL shares over the 90 days preceding the delivery of the trigger letter. | |
| | • | Discount: Ralf will receive a 20% discount on the above calculated share price; provided however, that the above calculated share price, without the discount, shall count toward the purchase price in determining whether Ralf has received the full $750,000 USD valuation for his 49% ownership interest in SwissLink. | |
| | • | If, after the execution of all tranches, Ralf has not received the full $750,000 USD valuation, we or our legal successor will pay the difference in cash until the full valuation is realized based on the Weighted Volume Average Price (WVAP) of our shares for the last 15 trading days prior to the Termination Date for shares still in Ralf's possession, and/or the actual selling price for shares already sold by Ralf. | |
In addition, under the Agreement, Impact agrees to render advisory services up to 60 hours per month to SwissLink and ETELIX, our wholly owned subsidiary, at 8,000 CHF per month (excluding VAT) for a maximum of two years.
Next, SwissLink acknowledges a debt of 200,000 CHF owed to Ralf, which will be repaid in monthly installments of 8,000 CHF until the debt is fully repaid.
Finally, Ralf will continue to grant SwissLink non-exclusive access to the VAMP platform, with the same cost and expense structure as outlined in the Share Purchase Agreement between iQSTEL and Ralf, dated April 1, 2019.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
