Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 21, 2009, Ethos Environmental, Inc. ("Registrant"), Ethos Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub") and AL Global Corporation, a California corporation (d.b.a. Youngevity) ("Youngevity"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement"), which is scheduled to close on or about January 31, 2010, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions of closing as full set forth therein. On the Closing Date, the Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Youngevity, which will be the surviving corporation and shall thereafter be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. The parties have taken all actions necessary to ensure that the Merger is treated as a tax-free exchange under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
At the closing of the Merger, subject to and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Ethos shall issue an aggregate amount of restricted shares of its common stock equal to sixty percent (60%) of the total shares of issued and outstanding shares of Ethoss common stock on a fully diluted basis in exchange for one hundred (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Youngevity as of the Closing Date. All shares of the Merger Sub shall be surrender the certificates evidencing one hundred percent (100%) of the Merger Subs Capital Stock, and all Capital Stock of the Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and exchanged for Ethos Shares. As part of the Agreement, the Registrant must convert certain outstanding liabilities into equity.
The Merger Agreement contained customary representations and warranties and pre- and post-closing covenants of each party and customary closing conditions. Breaches of the representations and warranties will be subject to customary indemnification provisions, subject to specified aggregate limits of liability. The issuance of shares of common stock to holders of Youngevitys capital stock in connection with the Merger will not be registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under that section. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirement.
The above description of the Agreement and Plan of Merger is intended as a summary only and which is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions set forth therein, a copy of such Agreement is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Current Report").
