Item 1.01
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
See Item 2.01 -- Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets for information concerning the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 23, 2013, pursuant to which MPS Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Earth, Inc. (Blue Earth or the Company) merged with Millennium Power Solutions, LLC (MPS).
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
The Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary MPS Acquisition Corp., simultaneously entered into and completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Agreement) dated as of August 23, 2013, with MPS and the Key Members of MPS (the Acquisition).
MPS designs and manufactures intelligent, digital, rechargeable battery products and backup systems with twice the energy of lead acid batteries in a smaller space. The environmentally friendly product is completely recyclable with no issues of hazardous out-gassing, corrosion, flammable or explosive characteristics. The initial, patent pending, intelligent Battery Backup System designed and manufactured by MPS was created for signalized intersections when loss of utility power occurs. The UltraPower Stealth Battery Backup System (UPStealthTM ) can be formed in various configurations that allow the intelligent battery to bend around corners and fit into spaces that cannot be accessed by traditional battery backup systems. Compared to the lead acid batteries that the UPStealthTM replaces, the UPStealthTM cost of ownership is less, requires less maintenance, last several years longer and MPS offers a finance program, which allows municipalities to replace systems without capital expenditures.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, an aggregate of 3,694,811 shares of Blue Earth Common Stock (the Merger Consideration) was issued to the former members of MPS (the Members). In addition, the principals of MPS shall be entitled to receive a per-year earnout equal to ten (10%) percent of the profits of MPS as a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Earth payable in Blue Earth shares of Common Stock valued at the then current fair market value. The earn out is limited to a five year period and has an aggregate cap of $3,572,199.48.
At the Closing the Stockholders exchanged 100% of the outstanding membership interests of MPS for the Merger Consideration. Through the Agreement, MPS Acquisition Corp. will be merged with and into MPS, with MPS as the surviving entity, in accordance with the Oregon Business Corporations Act. MPS will be operated as a wholly- owned subsidiary of Blue Earth.
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement and Plan of Merger attached as an exhibit hereto.
