Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 24, 2023, we entered into a non-material Membership Interest Purchase
Agreement to acquire 100% of Tempo Telecom, LLC, a Georgia limited liability
company, an Eligible Telecommunications Carrier ("ETC"), authorized to provide
Lifeline services in twenty-one (21) states (respectively, the "Purchase
Agreement" and "Tempo"), the closing of which is subject to the approval of the
Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") and applicable state and other
governmental agencies, among other conditions.
On April 6, 2023, pursuant to a Purchase of Contract Rights Agreement between
the Company and Insight Mobile, Inc., a Delaware corporation (respectively, the
"Agreement" and "Insight Mobile"), we and Insight Mobile executed and delivered
an Assumption of Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "Assignment
Agreement"), which shall be held in escrow by counsel for Insight Mobile (the
"Escrow Agent") pending satisfaction of all conditions to the Closing of the
Purchase Agreement, and whereby Insight Mobile agreed to pay us the "Purchase
Price" of $4,500,000 for our "Contract Rights" under the Purchase Agreement. All
capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in these
respective agreements.
The Purchase Price is payable as follows: (a) upon execution of the Agreement,
Insight Mobile shall deposit $500,000 in readily available funds into an "Escrow
Account" with the Escrow Agent; (b) upon the execution of a Master Distribution
Agreement yet to be created (the "MDA") between IM Telecom and Excess Telecom,
an affiliated company of Insight Mobile, and when Excess Telecom has the ability
to start activations under the MDA, the Escrow Agent shall pay us $250,000 to an
account designated by us, which payment is deemed to be an interest free loan
from Insight Mobile to KonaTel (the funds in clauses (a) and (b) above are
collectively referred to as the "Deposit"); and (c) upon receipt of all required
Government Approvals (other than approvals from any of the State Authorities),
including the FCC, $4,000,000 in readily available funds shall be paid by
Insight Mobile into an account designated by KonaTel, and the Deposit in the
Escrow Account shall be paid to KonaTel (and the portion of the Deposit held by
us in clause (b) above shall be fully earned by KonaTel).
2
The Agreement provides that all of the foregoing funds shall be returned to
Insight Mobile if the Purchase Agreement is terminated for Cause; provided,
however, the Deposit is not refundable if this Agreement is terminated without
Cause. The term "Cause" means: (i) the denial by the FCC or regulatory denial of
Government Approvals; (ii) reaching the Drop Dead Date prior to FCC approval;
(iii) Insight Mobile's written notification to KonaTel, given within 60 days of
the date of this Agreement (the "Due Diligence Period") that that due diligence
is not satisfactory in its sole discretion; or (iv) in the event of material
adverse events occurring after the Due Diligence Period that were not disclosed
in writing to Insight Mobile prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period
in connection with Tempo, as determined in Insight Mobile's reasonable
discretion and in good faith, including without limitation, issuance of Oral
Requests, Letter of Inquiry ("LOI"), Citations, Notice of Violation ("NOV"),
Subpoenas, Compulsory Testimony, Admonishment, Monetary Forfeiture, or Notice of
Apparent Liability ("NAL") by the FCC Enforcement Bureau and any of is
subdivisions, or any other Governmental Authority that are not capable of being
cured or addressed prior to the Drop Dead Date. If the Agreement is terminated
without Cause, KonaTel shall be distributed fifty percent (50%) of the Deposit
(the "Break Up Fee"), which shall amount to $250,000, and the balance of the
Deposit shall be returned to Insight Mobile.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Agreement and the Assignment
Agreement or documents contemplated to be executed thereby shall only be
effective upon the Closing of the Purchase Agreement and the full payment of the
Purchase Price under the Agreement; and if the Purchase Agreement is terminated
for any reason, all such documents, at KonaTel's election, become null and void
and of no further force and effect and the counterpart signature pages of all
such documents, including, without limitation, the Assignment Agreement, shall
be returned to the respective Parties delivering them or destroyed.
Further, notwithstanding any provision in the Assignment Agreement or this
Agreement to the contrary, in the event that Insight Mobile does not receive all
necessary Government Approvals for the change in ownership/control of Tempo from
the FCC and the State Authorities for the Communications Licenses as set forth
in the Purchase Agreement by June 1, 2024 (the "Drop Dead Date"), unless: (a) an
extension is obtained pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement; (b) the
FCC denies the change in ownership/control of Tempo; or (c) if the Purchase
Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms thereof, this Agreement and
the Assignment Agreement will be terminated, the Deposit will be returned to
Insight Mobile, along with any payments of the Purchase Price made by Insight
Mobile towards the Deposit, and the interest free loan as set forth in Section 2
(b) above, within five (5) business days in any such case. In the event of
termination, both Parties shall be relieved of any obligations set forth in this
Agreement, except Sections 12 (Indemnification) and 18 (Confidentiality).
The Agreement also contains provisions regarding payment of regulatory costs
related to any FCC filing and State Approvals; and customary provisions on
acting in good faith; to refrain from interference with the other Party's rights
under the Purchase Agreement or to exercise remedies thereunder without the
other Party's consent; governing law and jurisdiction; notices; counterparts;
binding nature on heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns;
indemnification; lack of third party beneficiaries; the relationships of the
Parties; each Party bearing their respective costs and expenses related to the
Agreement; the lack of broker commissions; and confidentiality.
No assurance whatsoever can be given that the Agreement, the Assignment
Agreement or the Purchase Agreement will be completed.
The Assignment Agreement simply assigns all of KonaTel's right, title and
interest in the Purchase Agreement to Insight Mobile.
The Agreement is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference in Section
9, Item 9.01 hereof, and the foregoing summary is modified in its entirety to
this attached Agreement.
