Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On February 15, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), Medical Transcription Billing, Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Gulf Coast Billing Inc., a Texas corporation (“GCB”), pursuant to which the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of GCB.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company paid $1,250,000 in initial cash consideration (“Initial Payment”), on the Closing Date. In addition, the Company will pay GCB twenty-eight percent (28%) of the revenue earned and received from GCB accounts for three (3) years, less the Initial Payment (“Installment Payments”). The Installment Payments will be paid quarterly commencing July 2016.

 

The APA contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, and offer(s) of employment. In addition, the APA restricts the Seller and Shareholder, for a period of five years after the Closing Date, from soliciting any GCB clients or influencing, inducing or hiring any of the transitioned workforce.

 

The foregoing description of the APA does not purport to be complete and is qualified entirely by reference to the complete text of the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The above description and the APA have been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the APA. The representations and warranties in the APA were made for the purpose of allocating risk between the Company, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, instead of establishing these matters as facts. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the APA and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the APA, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company's public disclosures.
