On June 9, 2020,
Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Black Ridge” or “the Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
(the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and S-FDF, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Seller”),
pursuant to which the Company will acquire $2.5 million in cash and certain assets and agreements related to the Seller’s
freeze dried fruits and vegetables business for human consumption (the “Purchased Assets”) and enter into certain employment
and registration rights agreements. The Company will not assume any liabilities of Seller or any liabilities, liens, or encumbrances
pertaining to or encumbering the Purchased Assets except for those related to agreements or arrangements specified in the Asset
Purchase Agreement.
Subject to the
terms of Asset Purchase Agreement, Seller will transfer the Purchased Assets to the Company in exchange for the issuance of 1,120,000
shares of the Company’s common stock to the Seller representing 41.18% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common
stock (the “Seller Shares”). The amount of Seller Shares to be issued is subject to adjustment, as specified in the
Asset Purchase Agreement, based on the extent to which amount of cash proceeds held by the Company, as derived from the sale of
the Company’s holdings of shares of common stock in Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc.
(“AESE Shares”), are less than $5,000,000 or greater than $6,000,000 on the date specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement
(the “Final Determination Date”). The Final Determination Date will be the first anniversary of the closing of the
Asset Purchase Agreement if by January 1, 2021, the Company has contributed $4,000,000 to the business in the form of proceeds
from the sale of AESE Shares, proceeds from a financing secured by the AESE Shares, proceeds from an equity or convertible debt
financing, legal fees paid in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement or expenses incurred by the Company after August 1,
2020 (the “Company Contribution”). If the Company Contribution is less than $4 million on January 1, 2021, then the
Final Determination Date will be January 1, 2021.
The Company expects
to close the transaction on or about October 1, 2020, subject to extension by mutual agreement of the parties, provided that all
closing conditions have been satisfied including the appointment of Ira Goldfarb, Claudia Goldfarb, and a person designated by
the Goldfarbs to the Company’s Board of Directors with Ira Goldfarb appointed as Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board
and the Company’s entry into employment agreements with the Goldfarbs and Kenneth DeCubellis, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, who will be the only employees of the Company upon the closing of the Asset Purchase
Agreement.
The Asset Purchase
Agreement may be terminated in the event of a material breach of the provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, by mutual consent
of the Company and Seller, by either the Company or Seller after October 31, 2020 absent a material breach or failure to comply
with the provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, or by either party upon payment of a $5,000,000 termination fee.
The foregoing
summary of the Asset Purchase Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company intends to file the Asset Purchase Agreement as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2020, or in an earlier filing.
