Entry
into a Letter of Intent
On
March 21, 2022, Guardforce AI Co., Limited (the “Company”)
signed a non-binding letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with
Shenzhen Kewei Robot Technology Co., Limited and Shenzhen Yeantec
Co., Limited (together, the “Kewei Group”) to
purchase up to 36 of the Kewei Group’s subsidiaries located in
China. Under the LOI, in the first of two phases, Guardforce AI
will acquire eight of the Kewei Group companies. The second phase
provides Guardforce AI the right of first refusal to purchase the
remaining 28 companies within a period of 24 months from the date
of the signing of the LOI. The purchase of the additional 28
companies will be dependent on the Company’s operational plans. The
Company expects to sign the definitive agreement for the phase one
acquisitions before the end of May.
The
purchase price for the eight phase one companies will be based upon
a valuation that is equal to one-time (from 2022 to 2026) projected
average revenues for the eight companies estimated to be U.S. $30
million and will be paid in a mix of cash (10%) and Company
restricted shares (90%) at a price of U.S. $2.00 per share. The
Company will be required to pay Kewei Group the 10% cash component
($3,000,000) of the purchase price as a deposit and Kewei Group
will deliver to the Company 100% of the outstanding share capital
of the eight phase one companies as a pledge, within 10 days of the
signing of the LOI. The acquisition is subject to, among other
things, the satisfactory completion of due diligence by the
Company, the entry into definitive agreements and any required
third-party consents.
A
press release relating to the signing of the LOI was issued on
March 21, 2022 and is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
