Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 29, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, Forte Vita Ventures, Inc. , a California corporation (“Seller”), Neil Sinay (a “Shareholder”) and Jennifer M. Sinay (a “Shareholder,” and together with Neil Sinay, the “Shareholders”) under which it repurchased two franchises in Orange County, California (the “Repurchase Transaction”). The transaction involved the repurchase of one operating franchise and one undeveloped franchise from the Seller. The Company intends to operate the operating franchise to manage The Joint clinic as a Company-owned franchise.

 

The total consideration for the Repurchase Transaction was $329,000, $ 273,000 of which was funded from the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering of its common stock, and $56,000 of which was funded with a promissory note.

 

The foregoing description of the Repurchase Transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
