Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
   
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On September 11, 2019, Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Company and Home Revolution, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”).

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests (the “Membership Interest”) of Seller’s Choice, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller (“Seller’s Choice”). As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Seller’s Choice became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

At the Closing, the aggregate consideration (the “Consideration”) paid to the Seller was as follows: (i) $340,000, in cash; (ii) 333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”); and (iii) a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $660,000 (the “Note”). In connection with the Note, the Company, Seller, and Seller’s Choice entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) whereby the Note is secured by the assets of Seller’s Choice.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by each of the Company, Seller, and Seller’s Choice. The Note carries interest at a rate of nine and one-half percent (9.5%) per annum, payable monthly and matures on the earlier of March 11, 2020 or the listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Note, and the Security Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the Note, and the Security Agreement, which are attached as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.
