Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 29, 2023, Infinite Group, Inc. (the "Company"), as seller, received a
$1,330,463.78 as a purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the sale of the
Company's rights, title and interest per a Risk Participation of ERC Claim
Agreement, dated March 27, 2023 ("Agreement") by and between the Company and
1861 Acquisition LLC (the "Buyer," together with the Company the "Parties").
The Agreement transferred all of the Company's rights to receive any and all
payments, proceeds or distributions of any kind (without set-off, deduction or
withholding of any kind), including interest, from the United States Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS") in respect of the employee retention credits duly
and timely claimed by Seller on account of qualified wages paid by Seller and
identified as a "Claim for Refund" under Form 941-X Adjusted Employer's
Quarterly Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund for the third (3rd) and fourth
(4th) quarters of 2020, and the first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd)
quarters of 2021 (the "Tax Refund Claim") in the aggregate amount of
$1,662,698.28 ("Transferred Interests"). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Agreement, (i) the relationship between Company and
Buyer under the Agreement with respect to the Transferred Interests is that of
seller and purchaser, with the Company having irrevocably transferred to Buyer
the right to receive from the Company 100% of the monies or property received by
the Company with respect to the Tax Refund Claim in exchange for the Purchase
Price, and (ii) the Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer or
agreement to assign or transfer all or any part of the Company's legal title in
and to the Tax Refund Claim.
The Company has advised Buyer of the existence of certain liens and/or
outstanding balances in favor of certain lenders and/or taxing authorities,
including but not limited to the IRS, which may be secured by the Tax Refund
Claim. Without limiting the effectiveness of the sale, transfer, grant or
conveyance of the interest in the Tax Refund Claim to Buyer provided for in the
Agreement, Buyer shall not be required to pay one hundred twenty percent (120%)
of the balances currently known to be owed by the Company to the IRS. The Buyer
shall pay $82,829.76 as the holdback amount to the Company not later than five
(5) business days of Buyer's receipt of proof reasonably satisfactory to Buyer
that all balances owed by the Company with the IRS have been satisfied.
In the event any of the Company's representations and warranties set forth in
the Agreement are untrue, including, without limitation, any representations
with respect to the Transferred Interests, the Tax Refund Claim, the Claim
Amount, or the filing of tax returns and payment of taxes by the Company,
including without limitation as a result of all or any part of the Transferred
Interests having been: (a) objected to by the IRS or otherwise asserted by the
IRS to be, unenforceable or invalid, (b) impaired by the commencement by the IRS
of any action or proceeding including, but not limited to any proceeding which
seeks to reduce all or part of the Claim Amount, or (c) offset or setoff against
unpaid taxes of the Company, disallowed, reduced, subordinated or otherwise
impaired by action of the IRS, in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever
(any such event, an "Impairment"), Buyer shall have the right to put all or a
portion of the Transferred Interests back to the Company, whereupon the Company
shall be obligated to pay Buyer a repurchase price within ten (10) business days
after demand of Buyer (the "Payment Date"), equal to the portion of the Claim
Amount subject to the Impairment multiplied by the purchase rate of 85%, plus
interest thereon at ten per cent (10%) per annum from the date hereof to the
date of payment, provided, however, that such a demand by Buyer shall not be
deemed an election of remedies or any limitation on any other rights that Buyer
may have hereunder or under applicable law.
The foregoing summary of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
