PROPOSed resolutions
Item 7 - Resolution on asset transfer and authorisation to the Board to finalise asset transfer agreements
As announced by the Company in a press release on 8 April 2024, the Company has entered into a LOI with HH Agriculture Investments B.V ("HH Agriculture" or the "Purchaser") regarding an asset transfer of the Company's existing business to HH Agriculture (the "Transaction").
Summary of the transaction and main conditions
EKOBOT has entered into a letter of intent with HH Agriculture to enter into a so-called asset transfer agreement regarding a transfer of all of EKOBOT's current operations. However, the company will still retain the services required to fulfil the listing requirements under the Nasdaq First North Growth Market rules.
The purchase price for the Transaction amounts to EUR 260,000 and will be paid partly in the form of an amount of EUR 25,000 in respect of the exclusivity granted to the Purchaser to negotiate with the Company on the Transaction, and partly in the form of an amount of EUR 235,000 which will be paid on the date of closing. The payment of EUR 25,000 has been paid by the Purchaser on the date of the conclusion of the letter of intent and cannot be refunded by the Company unless the Transaction is not approved by the Company's shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting. The Buyer shall also reimburse EKOBOT for the Company's salary costs during April 2024 (including social security contributions) up to EUR 35,000.
In addition to the purchase price, the Buyer has undertaken to take over one of the Company's existing loans, as well as another existing debt, amounting to a total of approximately EUR 540,000.
The transaction is conditional on, among other things, (i) the Buyer taking over the existing loan as described above and the lender approving the debtor swap, (ii) the Buyer taking over the other of the Company's existing debts and the creditor approving the debtor swap, (iii) the Buyer conducting tests of the Company's product during the period 20-25 April in the Netherlands and finding these satisfactory and (iv) the Buyer conducting a due diligence with satisfactory results.
Furthermore, the Transaction is conditional upon the extraordinary general meeting of the Company voting in favour of approving the Transaction.
Following the Transaction, the Company will continue to have the services and resources required to fulfil the listing requirements under the Nasdaq First North Growth Market rules.
In view of the above, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the Transaction on the main terms set out above and authorises the board of directors, or the person appointed by the board of directors, to finalise the terms of the Transaction and enter into the asset transfer agreement for the Transaction.
