This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future events and plans. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about such future events and plans. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual events and plans to be materially different from any future events and plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “guidance,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Although it is impossible to identify all of the factors that may cause our actual events and plans to differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements, such factors include the inherent risks associated with any significant business transaction, including the ability to satisfy all parties’ conditions to consummation of such a transaction. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revision of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 1, 2006, Stonepath Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with JTM Acquisition Corp. (“JTM”) for the sale (the “Sale”) to JTM of Stonepath Logistics International Services, Inc., a Washington corporation (“SLIS”), the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, for aggregate consideration of $17.9 million, consisting of a closing cash payment of $12.2 million and the assumption by JTM, or satisfaction, of liabilities associated with SLIS. The company expects to recognize a book loss on the sale of SLIS and its German subsidiary of approximately $3.5 million.
Consummation of the Sale is subject to conditions including, without limitation, the receipt of funding by JTM’s contemplated source of financing for the Sale, receipt by JTM and the Company of applicable consents, approvals and releases, and the receipt by the Company’s Board of Directors of a fairness opinion from a valuation advisor as to the purchase price to be received in the Sale.
Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to consummation of the Sale contained in the Purchase Agreement, the parties anticipate that the Sale will close on or before October 16, 2006.
The founder and President of JTM is Jason F. Totah, who served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from October 2004 until July 20, 2006, when he temporarily resigned his position as Chief Executive Office until either the Sale is consummated, at which point it is contemplated that he will formally resign his position with the Company, or the Sale is abandoned, at which point it is contemplated that he would resume his position with the Company.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
