| Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets |
On June 3, 2015, the Company completed its repurchase of six franchises in San Diego County, California (the “Repurchase Transaction”).
The Repurchase Transaction was accomplished pursuant to an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, WHB Franchise, Inc., a California corporation (“Seller”), and William Bargfrede (“Shareholder”). The transaction involved the repurchase of two operating franchises and four undeveloped franchises from the Seller and Shareholders. The Company intends to operate the two operating franchises to manage two Joint clinics as Company-owned franchises.
The total consideration for the Repurchase Transaction was $500,000, $ 400,000 of which was funded from the proceeds of the Company’s recent initial public offering (IPO), and $100,000 of which was funded with a promissory note.
The foregoing description of the Repurchase Transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
