Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On October 13, 2022, urban-gro, Inc. (the “Company”) announced it has signed a binding term sheet to acquire Dawson Van Orden, Inc., d/b/a DVO, a world-class engineering firm with significant experience in indoor CEA, subject to customary conditions, for a total purchase consideration of up to $7.25 million. The Company believes this acquisition is not material given the Company’s relative size of its revenues, earnings, and assets compared to the target and does not expect to file the definitive agreement with the SEC. A copy of the press release with more information regarding this transaction is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01 is being “furnished” and not “filed” with the SEC for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under such section. Furthermore, such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, unless specifically identified as being incorporated therein by reference.
Item 8.01. | Other Matters. |
The Company executed the binding term sheet to acquire substantially all of the assets of Dawson Van Orden, Inc. (the “Transaction”), on October 10, 2022, subject to customary conditions. The Company expects to fund the $7.25 million Transaction, which includes a contingent consideration of up to $1.1 million paid in cash or equity at the Company’s discretion, through a combination of $1.3 million in cash, a promissory note of $3.8 million paid out over four quarters, and $1.1 million of its common stock at a pre-set price of $4 per share.
