On August 31, 1012, Data Storage Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Message Logic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”) entered into a term sheet (the “Term Sheet”), setting forth the acquisition by the Company of the end-user customer base, and all related assets used in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, intellectual property and excluding cash and accounts receivable (collectively, the “Purchased Business”) of the Seller.
Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Company has agreed, subject to a satisfactory due diligence review, to acquire the Purchased Business for (i) 1,538,461 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Share Consideration”) and (ii) $800,00 in cash (the “Cash Consideration” and together with the Shares Consideration, the “Consideration”).
The Company shall distribute the Share Consideration to the Sellers in the following manner: (i) 769,231 shares at the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”), (ii) an additional 384,615 shares on the thirteenth-month anniversary of the Closing, and (iii) an additional 384,615 shares on the twenty-fifth month anniversary of the Closing. The additional 384,615 shares distributed on each of the thirteenth month and twenty-fifth month anniversary of the Closing, shall be distributed only upon the Purchased Business achieving certain revenue benchmarks.
The Company shall pay the Cash Consideration to the Sellers in the following manner: (i) $25,000 on the seventh-month anniversary of the Closing, (ii) $375,000 on the thirteenth-month anniversary of the Closing, (iii) $150,000 on the nineteenth-month anniversary of the Closing, and (iv) $250,000 on the twenty-fifth month anniversary of the Closing, in each case only upon the Purchased Business achieving certain revenue benchmarks. If the Purchased Business fails to meet the revenue benchmarks on each date, the Sellers shall be paid a percentage of the payment due on each date, based on the percentage of the revenue benchmark that was achieved.
