ITEM 1.02 TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL AGREEMENT
On September 12, 2024, Educational Development Corporation (“EDC”, the “Company” or “Seller”) received notice from Rockford Holdings, LLC (“Buyer”) that they could not meet the terms of the original purchase agreement dated June 6, 2024. After evaluating the proposed changes, it was determined the changes were not acceptable to the Seller and mutually agreed to terminate the purchase agreement. Subsequently, the Buyer notified the Seller of the termination of their agreement to purchase the Company’s headquarters and distribution warehouse located at 5400-5402 South 122nd East Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74146 (the “Hilti Complex”).
Upon receipt of the termination notice, the Company has updated their offering memorandum for the most recent tenant lease agreement changes in the Hilti Complex, including the new lease agreement with Crusoe Energy Systems, and has begun to re-market the Hilti Complex for sale.
The foregoing descriptions are a summary of the material terms of the Contract and are not complete. These descriptions are qualified in all respects subject to the actual provisions of the sale Contract and Lease with the Buyer.
