Item
1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
June 20, 2018, TheStreet, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Bankers Financial Products Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of TheStreet, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase Agreement”) with S&P Global Market Intelligence Inc. (“S&P”), an affiliate of S&P
Global Inc., pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell the assets comprising its RateWatch business (the “Business”)
to S&P (the “Transaction”). The Purchase Agreement provides that S&P will pay an aggregate consideration of
approximately $33.5 million in cash to acquire the Business, subject to working capital and certain other closing adjustments.
Under
the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the parties have made customary representations and warranties and agreed to various customary
covenants, including, among others, post-closing non-solicitation and non-competition covenants, as well as indemnification provisions
for breaches of such representations and warranties or covenants.
The
foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is qualified in its entirety by the
full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
The
Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not
intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, the Business or S&P or any of their respective businesses,
subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement (a) were made by
the parties thereto only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates; (b) were made solely for the benefit of the
parties to the Purchase Agreement; (c) may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified
by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement (such disclosures
include information that has been included in public disclosures, as well as additional non-public information); (d) may have
been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing
these matters as facts; and (e) may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from
those applicable to investors. Investors 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 Company, the Business or S&P or any of their
respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Additionally, the representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and other terms of
the Purchase Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter
of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information
may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. The Purchase Agreement should not be read alone,
but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the Company that is or will be contained in, or
incorporated by reference into, the Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q and other documents that are filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Item
2.01 – Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On
June 20, 2018, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the sale of the assets comprising the Business to S&P
for a purchase price of $33.5 million in cash, subject to working capital and certain other closing adjustments.
Item
7.01 – Regulation FD Disclosure.
On
June 20, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the completion of the
sale of the Business. A copy of that press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements, including
statements concerning the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the costs associated with
the sale of the Business, are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual
results could differ materially. Words such as “estimate”, “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”,
“intend”, and similar expressions may identify such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Refer to
the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
