Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On June 5, 2015, the Company completed its repurchase of six franchises in Orange County, California (the “Repurchase Transaction”).

 

The Repurchase Transaction was accomplished pursuant to an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, Clear Path Ventures, Inc., a California corporation (“Clear Path”), Carol Warren (“Warren”), and Jodi Wolf (“Wolf” and together with Wolf, the “Shareholders”). The transaction involved the repurchase of three operating franchises and three undeveloped franchises from the Seller and Shareholders. The Company intends to operate the three operating franchises to manage three Joint clinics as Company-owned franchises.
