ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

 

(1) Binding Memorandum of Understanding

 

On September 20, 2017, Banjo & Matilda, Inc. (“Banjo” or the “Company”) and Brendan Macpherson, on behalf of the Company, entered into a Binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with Spectrum King, LLC. (“Spectrum”) and Rami Vardi, solely as officer of Spectrum (collectively, the Company and Spectrum are herein referred to as the “Parties” and each, individually, is a “Party”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, the parties have agreed to cause a merger of Spectrum with Banjo. Banjo will arrange between $500,000 and $1,000,000 in equity capital to be raised for Spectrum, to facilitate the merger. In consideration, Spectrum agrees to issue membership interests in Spectrum as per exhibit 1 of the MOU equal to their respective percentages of its issued and outstanding members’ interests on a fully diluted basis concurrently with the closing of the capital raise. Banjo is expeditiously seeking to amend its articles of incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock to 500,000,000 from 100,000,000

 

Following completion of each party’s due diligence, the Parties shall promptly begin negotiating a written definitive agreement, subject to the approval of each Party’s board of directors, containing comprehensive representations, warranties, indemnities, conditions and agreements by the Parties. The MOU is a binding agreement whether a Definitive Agreement is entered into or not. Upon satisfactory completion of their respective due diligence investigations the Parties will collaboratively act expeditiously to adopt and execute a Plan of Merger of the two entities.

 

Spectrum’s primary business is the production and sale of high quality light-emitting diode (“LED”) lights used in horticulture operations. Spectrum’s LED products have demonstrated market-leading performance in yield and product quality as well as significant cost savings on power. One of the rapidly expanding applications for these lights is the indoor and outdoor (e.g. greenhouses) cultivation of marijuana (“MJ”) for both medical and recreational use. Commercial agricultural markets needing supplemental lighting (e.g. lettuce, tomatoes, flowers) and industrial lighting applications are also seen as very strong growth opportunities for Spectrum. Spectrum’s LED products are manufactured in the United States and they have successfully developed proprietary processes to ensure that their products are of the highest quality and safety ratings in the LED industry, as supported by industry recognized designations. Spectrum is currently seeking patents for these processes.

 

At its essence, Spectrum is a technology company in the LED business. Rami Vardi, Spectrum’s Founder and Chairman, has been inventing and manufacturing LED technologies since 2009. His predecessor LED grow light company had similar success and was acquired by a public company in 2011.

 

The foregoing description of the MOU does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the MOU, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
