Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
Asset Purchase Agreement
On
July 31, 2020, Water Now, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, HydraSpin USA, Inc.
(collectively, the “Company”), entered into an Asset Sale and Purchase
Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company, RigMax, LLC, a Texas limited
liability company (the “Parent”), and RigMax H2O, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Buyer”).
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company shall sell substantially all of its assets to
the Buyer effective on a date that is no later than seven (7) business days after
the stated closing conditions are satisfied or on such other date as agreed upon by the Company and the Buyer (the “Closing
Date”).
The Agreement, among other
things, provides for the following:
|
•
|
The Company will sell all
of its right, title and interest in the Assets, as that term is defined in the Agreement, to the Buyer.
|
|
•
|
The purchase price (the
“Purchase Price”) for the Assets to be sold to the Buyer is $30,000,000, less
all pre-closing deposits made by the Buyer, payable in cash and in full at closing.
|
|
•
|
In accordance with the
terms of a separate Escrow Agreement to be entered into by the parties, $1,000,000 of the Purchase Price will be held in an escrow
account for a period of 12 months following the closing to satisfy claims the Buyer
may have against the Company under the Agreement.
|
|
•
|
The Agreement may be terminated
at any time before the Closing Date by (i) mutual written consent of the parties, (ii) by the Company or the Buyer if there has
been a breach by a party of its representations, warranties or covenants that is not timely cured, (iii) by either party in the
event all conditions precedent to closing are not satisfied before October 31, 2020, or (iv) by either party in the event the Company
is unable to obtain shareholder approval of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement on or before October 31, 2020.
|
|
•
|
The Company may also terminate
the Agreement in the event it receives a bona fide third-party, unsolicited written acquisition proposal that the board of directors
reasonably concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, constitutes or would constitute a superior proposal.
If the Company elects to exercise this option it shall have to pay to the Buyer the break-up fee described in the Agreement.
|
|
•
|
The Company and the Buyer
have generally agreed to mutual indemnification for certain losses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by
the Agreement and its ancillary documents.
|
|
•
|
The Asset sale is subject
to, among other standard closing conditions, approval by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Water
Now, Inc.’s common stock.
|
The
transaction is expected to close on or before October 31, 2020. The actual timing may vary materially based on various factors
including the approval by holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Water Now, Inc.’s common stock and
the receipt and satisfaction of other closing conditions listed in the Agreement.
The
Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants by the parties and other factual information about the Company, the
Buyer and their respective businesses or operations. The representations, warranties covenants and other factual statements: (i)
have been made solely for the benefit of the other party or parties to such agreements and amendments; (ii) were made only as of
the date of such agreements and amendments or such other date(s) as expressly set forth in such agreements or amendments and are
subject to more recent developments, which may not be fully reflected in our public disclosure; (iii) may have been subject to
qualifications with respect to materiality, knowledge and other matters, which qualifications
modify, qualify and create exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants
in the agreements or amendments; (iv) may be qualified by disclosures made to such other party or parties in connection with signing
such agreements or amendments, which disclosures contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations,
warranties and covenants in such agreements or amendments; (v) have been made to reflect the allocation of risk among the parties
to such agreements or amendments rather than establishing matters as facts; and (vi) may apply materiality standards different
from what may be viewed as material to investors. Accordingly, these representations,
warranties, covenants, and statements of fact should not be relied upon by investors as they may not describe the Company's actual
state of affairs as of July 31, 2020 or as of the date of filing this Current
Report on Form 8-K.
Item 8.01 Other Events
Post-Closing
Expectations
In connection with the transactions
described above, the Company expects the following events to occur.
Liquidation of the Company
As soon
as practicable after the Closing Date, Water Now, Inc., after satisfaction of all debt and other third party obligations, intends
to pay a liquidating dividend to the holders of its outstanding common stock (the “Liquidation Event”). Thereafter,
the Company shall be dissolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.
Termination
of Future Periodic Reporting Obligations
Following
the Liquidation Event the Company will no longer have any outstanding securities registered with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission and, following any required deregistration procedures, will not be subject to the periodic
reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of federal securities law. Words
such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “predict,” “intend,” “plan,”
or other similar words, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this Current
Report on Form 8-K and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectation about, among other things, pending
transactions, the outcomes of certain transactions, our financial condition, our ability to pay certain liabilities including the
investment notes, our periodic reporting requirements under federal securities laws, and our liquidation strategies. We
may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not
place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein reflect and contain management’s
current judgment and assumptions, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events, and performance
to differ materially from the plans, intentions, and expectations disclosed in the
forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated
in the forward- looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those risk factors set forth
in Item 1A of Part I in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, or as may be updated in our
other filings with the SEC from time to time. There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this
time or that we currently do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business.
Any of these risks could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed
in our forward-looking statements or have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. When considering forward-looking statements you should keep these risk factors in mind, as
well as the other cautionary statements set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this filing. We do not
intend to update any of these forward-looking statements or publicly announce the results of or any revisions to these forward-looking
statements, other than as is required under the federal securities laws.
