1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April
4, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Agreement”) with
Vibe Records, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VIBE”) to acquire 100% of the
issued and outstanding shares of VIBE in exchange for 13,390,930 common shares
of the Company. The Agreement also provides that the Company will
undergo a 1.5 for 1 dividend or forward split prior to the closing of the share
exchange and that 2 directors nominated by Vibe will be appointed to the
Company’s board of directors. There are a number of conditions to
the closing contained within the Agreement as well as the customary
representations and warranties.
The
consummation of this transaction would result in a change of
control.
In a
separate transaction, on January 11, 2008, Benacquista Galleries, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (“Benacquista”) and Vibe Records, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Vibe”), James Price and Timothy Olphie entered into an Agreement of Sale (“New
Agreement”) that cancelled the previous Share Exchange Agreement between Vibe
and Benacquista dated November 12, 2007 and cancelled the previous Share
Purchase Agreement between Price and Olphie dated October 8,
2007. The New Agreement provides for Olphie or Vibe to purchase
496,910 common shares of Benacquista from James Price for
$500,000. The purchase must occur within a 45 day time
frame. Benacquista made covenants in the agreement not to issue any
common shares or options or undertake any material indebtedness during this 45
day time frame. The Agreement also provides for anti-dilution
protection for Mr. Price to guarantee that his remaining 400,000 shares in the
corporation constitute at least 5% to 5.5% of the issued and outstanding shares
of the corporation for a period of 180 days. The New Agreement was to
expire on March 25, 2008.
On April
4, 2008, Benacquista, Vibe and Messrs. Olphie and Price entered into
a letter agreement which amended and supplemented the New Agreement and provided
an extension of time for Vibe and Mr. Olphie to provide
payment. Under the letter agreement, Mr. Olphie paid $25,000 toward
the remaining $450,000 purchase price for the shares as a non-refundable deposit
and has until April 9, 2008 to pay the balance of $425,000. In the
event that Mr. Olphie desires a subsequent extension, he can obtain one for
payment of a $25,000 fee (“Subsequent Payment”) which does not apply to the
purchase price and which would extend the time to pay the balance of the
purchase price of $425,000 until April, 23, 2008. Mr. Price and
Benacquista also agreed that if the Subsequent Payment were made and the balance
of the purchase price were paid, Benacquista director Robert S. McCoy, Jr. would
receive $25,000 worth of Benacquista common shares.
On April
23, 2008, the Parties entered into a new letter agreement which provides an
extension of time to pay the balance of the purchase price of $425,000 in
exchange for a non-refundable deposit of $25,000 toward the purchase
price. The extension extends the time period to provide payment until
May 7, 2008, provided however, that in the event that the purchase price is not
paid by April 29, 2008, the non-refundable deposit will no longer be credited
toward the purchase price. Mr. Price and Benacquista also agreed that
Benacquista director Robert S. McCoy, Jr. would receive $50,000 worth of
Benacquista common shares in the event that the balance of the purchase price is
paid by May 7, 2008. These shares are in lieu of the shares Mr. McCoy
would have received under the April 4 letter agreement.
On May
12, 2008, Benacquista, Vibe, Olphie and Price entered into a new letter
agreement which provides an extension of time to pay the balance of the purchase
price of $425,000 in exchange for a non-refundable extension fee of $25,000
which is not credited toward the purchase price. The extension
extends the time period to provide payment until May 16, 2008. Mr.
Price and Benacquista also agreed that Vibe Records would receive $25,000 worth
of Benacquista common shares in the event that the balance of the purchase price
is paid by May 16, 2008. These shares are in lieu of the shares that
would have been issued under the April 29, 2008 letter agreement.
On May
16, 2008, Benacquista, Vibe, Olphie and Price entered into a new letter
agreement which provides an extension of time to pay the balance of the purchase
price of $425,000 in exchange for a non-refundable extension fee of $25,000
which is not credited toward the purchase price. The extension
extends the time period to provide payment until May 26, 2008. Mr.
Price and Benacquista also agreed that Vibe Records would receive $50,000 worth
of Benacquista common shares in the event that the balance of the purchase price
is paid by May 26, 2008. These shares are in lieu of the shares that
would have been issued under the May 12, 2008 letter agreement.
