Item 1.01 |
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On November 20, 2018 Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., Glen Eagles Acquisition LP, AVNG Acquisition Sub, LLC and Advangelists, LLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger. Under the merger agreement, Mobiquity will become the 48% member, and Glen Eagles will become a 52% member, of Advangelists at the effective time of the merger. Mobiquity will be the manager of Advangelists following the merger. In addition to customary grounds for the parties to terminate the merger agreement prior to closing, either party may terminate the merger agreement if conditions to closing are not met by December 31, 2018. In consideration for the merger:
· | Mobiquity will issue warrants for 90 million shares of Mobiquity common stock at an exercise price of $0.09 per share, and, subject to the vesting threshold described below, Mobiquity will transfer 11,111,111 shares of Gopher Protocol, Inc. common stock, to the pre-merger Advangelists members. The transfer of the Gopher common stock will be unvested and will vest in February 2019 only if Advangelists’ combined revenues for the months of December 2018 and January 2019 are at least $250,000. |
· | Glen Eagles will pay the pre-merger Advangelists members $10 million in cash. $500,000 will be paid at closing and $9,500,000 will be paid in 19 monthly installments of $500,000 each, represented by a promissory note. The promissory note will provide that as sole remedy for a payment default: |
o | if there is a payment default and less than $1 million in total cash consideration has been tendered for payment, Glen Eagles will return its 52% membership interest in Advangelists to the Advangelists pre-merger members. In that case, the Advangelists pre-merger members may elect to return to Mobiquity the Mobiquity warrants, or Mobiquity common stock issued upon the exercise of the Mobiquity warrants, and the Gopher common stock transferred by Mobiquity, and Mobiquity will return its 48% membership interest in Advangelists to the Advangelists pre-merger members. |
o | if there is a payment default and more than $1 million but less than $2,500,000 in total cash consideration has been tendered for payment, Glen Eagles will return its 52% membership interest in Advangelists to the Advangelists pre-merger members. In that case, none of Mobiquity warrants, or Mobiquity common stock issued upon the exercise of the Mobiquity warrants, and none of the Gopher common stock transferred by Mobiquity, shall be returned by the Advangelists pre-merger members to Mobiquity, and none of Mobiquity’s 48% membership interest in Advangelists shall be returned by Mobiquity to the Advangelists pre-merger members, unless Mobiquity on the one hand, and the Advangelists pre-merger members on the other hand, mutually consent otherwise. |
o | if there is a payment default and more than $2,500,000 in total cash consideration has been tendered for payment Glen Eagles will return to the Advangelists pre-merger members a portion of Glen Eagles’ membership interest in Advangelists equal to a 3% membership interest for each the defaulted installments and the remaining installments. In that case, any return of Mobiquity warrants, or Mobiquity common stock issued upon the exercise of the Mobiquity warrants, and Gopher common stock transferred by Mobiquity, and Mobiquity’s 48% membership interest in Advangelists shall be subject to the same Mobiquity and Advangelists pre-merger members mutual consent as above. |

Deepanker Katyal, a 47.5% pre-merger member of Advangelists, has been appointed as representative of the Advangelists’ pre-merger members, and all Advangelists pre-merger member consents or decisions shall be given or made by Mr. Katyal in that capacity.
Until the merger consideration is paid in full, Advangelists may not take certain major actions without the consent of Mr. Katyal, acting as representative of the Advangelists’ pre-merger members.
At the effective time of the merger, Mr. Katyal, and Lokesh Mehta, also a 47.5% pre-merger member of Advangelists, will be employed by Advangelists as Advangelists’ CEO and CTO respectively under three-year employment agreements. Mr. Katyal and Mr. Mehta will each be entitled to $400,000 in annual salary and benefits which are substantially similar to the Mobiquity executive management benefits. The employment agreements will include customary provisions regarding restrictive covenants, intellectual property and grounds for early termination. Additionally, Mr. Katyal and Mr. Mehta will each be issued Mobiquity Class B preferred stock (to be authorized) which will provide for dividends equal to 10% of the gross revenue of Mobiquity or Advangelists, whichever is higher and capped at $600,000 each, for each of its 2019 and 2020 fiscal years.
