(“E-core”), to E-Core Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Buyer”) pursuant to the terms of an Agreement to Unwind Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 31, 2024 (the “Agreement”).  The principals of the Buyer are the three individuals from whom the Company acquired E-core in October 2022.  The purchase price in the transaction was $2,000,000 paid by the Buyer to the Company at closing.  In addition, in connection with the closing of the transaction (i) the Company was released as a guarantor from E-core’s commercial loan facility, and (ii) all subordinated promissory notes issued by the Company in connection with the Company’s initial acquisition of E-core were cancelled and any outstanding principal and interest thereunder was deemed paid in full.  The Agreement contains standard representations and warranties, conditions to closing, and covenants, for a transaction of this nature.
