Entry into a Material Agreement.
|
On March 15,
2008, a wholly-owned subsidiary (the Buyer) of VCG Holding Corp., a Colorado corporation (the Parent), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement), with a company (the Seller)
that owns and operates an adult nightclub (the Business) in the west coast region of the United States, and the Sellers sole shareholder (the Shareholder), pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to purchase substantially
all of the Sellers assets and assume certain of the Sellers liabilities (the Acquisition). The formula for calculating the purchase price for the assets will be based on a multiple of the Sellers earnings for the
trailing 12 month period ended immediately preceding the closing date of the Acquisition as set forth in the exhibits to be attached to the Purchase Agreement (as discussed below). As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Parent
expects that the purchase price will be approximately $7.35 million based upon anticipated earnings of the Seller for the trailing 12 month period ended immediately preceding the closing date of the Acquisition of $2.1 million and a multiple equal
to 3.5. The Parent will file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the exact formula for calculating the purchase price when available. The Buyer will pay (a) 85% of the purchase price at the closing and (b) the
balance following the closing based upon the Sellers closing date financial statements, together with interest on such amount equal to 10% per annum from the closing date until paid. The Acquisition does not include the real property upon
which the Business is operated.
The Buyer has 30 business days after delivery of the executed Purchase Agreement with all exhibits thereto
to conduct its due diligence. The Buyer may terminate the Purchase Agreement for any and no reason on or before the expiration of the due diligence period. Either party may terminate the Purchase Agreement if the financial statements delivered to
the Buyer at the closing reflect an adjustment in the purchase price of more than 10% from the preliminary purchase price set forth in the exhibits to the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement contains certain other provisions which are customary for agreements of this nature, such as representations, warranties,
covenants and indemnities. The closing of the Acquisition is expressly conditioned upon: (a) the Buyers satisfactory due diligence investigation of the Business, (b) the Buyer assuming the Sellers obligations under certain
contracts, (c) the Buyer obtaining necessary government licenses and consents to the closing of the Acquisition and for the operation of the Business by a new owner, (d) the Buyer obtaining financing for the purchase price on terms
satisfactory to the Buyer in the Buyers sole and absolute discretion (which condition shall expire 10 days before the closing of the Acquisition), (e) the Shareholder executing a Covenant Not To Compete agreement (the
Non-Competition Agreement), as further described below, and (f) the Buyer being able to assume the current lease for the real property used in the operation of the Business on terms acceptable to the Buyer in the Buyers sole
and absolute discretion. In addition, the Shareholder has agreed to assist the Buyer in transitioning the day-to-day operations of the Business for 120 consecutive days following the closing.
In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, on March 15, 2008, the Buyer and the Seller entered into a Confidentiality Agreement
providing that the Buyer may not disclose the Sellers confidential information, trade secrets and other information learned by the
Buyer in its due diligence investigation of the Seller or solicit, hire, recruit or otherwise encourage the Sellers employees or entertainers to leave
the Business until the closing date, or if no closing occurs, for a period of one year following the termination of the Purchase Agreement.
In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer also entered into the Non-Competition Agreement with the Shareholder, to become effective on the closing date of the Acquisition, pursuant to which the Shareholder agreed
not to compete with the Buyer for a period of three years following the closing date within 25 miles of the Business, excluding certain adult entertainment nightclubs currently operated or controlled by the Shareholder. The Non-Competition Agreement
also contains non-solicitation and confidentiality covenants. The Buyer will pay the Shareholder $5,000 in cash on the closing date of the Acquisition in consideration for entering into the Non-Competition Agreement.
The parties have agreed to keep information in the transaction documents that would enable a reader to identify the acquired Business, such as, but not
limited to, the names of individuals, the name of the Business and the Businesss geographical location, confidential until the closing of the Acquisition in order to avoid substantial competitive harm to the acquired Business before the
closing, if any. Accordingly, the Parent has submitted a request for confidential treatment for portions of Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 attached hereto and filed the confidential portions thereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission simultaneously
with the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The parties expect to close the Acquisition in the second quarter of 2008. Due to the
conditions precedent to closing, including those set out above, and the risk that these conditions precedent will not be satisfied, there is no assurance that the Buyer will close the Acquisition.
The Company has attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, copies of the Purchase Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement. The
foregoing summaries are qualified in their entirety by the contents of the Purchase Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement.
