Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

The disclosure contained in Item 2.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On March 15, 2024, La Rosa Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), consummated its acquisition of one (1) share of common stock (the “Share”) of La Rosa Realty California, a California corporation and a franchisee of the Company (“Realty California”), representing 1% of issued and outstanding shares of Realty California, pursuant to that certain stock purchase agreement, dated March 15, 2024 (the “California Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, Realty California and the selling stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”) of Realty California (the “Transaction”).

 

The purchase price for the Membership Interests was $2,413.99, which was settled by the issuance of 1,387 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock to the Selling Stockholder based on $1.74 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC for the previous trading day. The shares issued as consideration for the acquisition of the Share are referred to as the “Purchase Shares.”

 

Concurrently, on March 15, 2024, the Selling Stockholder entered into lock-up/leak out agreement (the “Lock-up Agreement”) with the Company pursuant to which the Selling Stockholder may not sell more than one-twelfth of their respective Purchase Shares per calendar month during the one year period commencing after the six-month holding period under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), subject to applicable securities laws.

 

The foregoing summaries of the California Purchase Agreement and the Lock-up Agreement purport to be summaries only and are qualified in their entireties by reference to such agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

As disclosed under Item 2.01 of this Form 8-K, on March 15, 2024, the Company issued 1,387 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the California Purchase Agreement.  

 

The Company issued the foregoing shares of common stock pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act available to the Company under Section 4(a)(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that the issuance did not involve a public offering of securities.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure. 

 

On March 20, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Transaction described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Buyer shall acquire from such Seller good, valid, and marketable title to the Share, free and clear of any Encumbrance (other than restrictions on transfer arising under applicable state or federal securities laws). “Encumbrance” means any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, security interest, claim, community property interest, option, equitable interest, restriction of any kind (including any restriction on use, voting, transfer, receipt of income, or exercise of any other ownership attribute), or other encumbrance.

When each Transaction Document to which Seller is or will be a party has been duly executed and delivered by Seller, such Transaction Document will constitute a legal and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

 

Section 3.03 No Conflicts; Consents. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is or will be a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not require the consent, notice or other action by any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, association, or other entity (“Person”) under any contract to which Seller is a party.

“The shares of common stock evidenced by this [entry/certificate] have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any state securities act (“State Act”). They may not be sold or offered for sale or otherwise transferred in any manner except: (i) in conjunction with an effective registration statement as to the shares under the Act, and any applicable State Act, (ii) pursuant to the terms of Rule 144 under the Act, or (iii) pursuant to an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such registration or compliance with Rule 144 is not required.

 

“The shares evidenced by this [entry/certificate] are subject to a Leak-Out Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2024, between the Issuer and the Holder, a copy of which is on file with the Secretary of the Issuer. The Leak-Out Agreement restricts the sale, disposition, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, or any transaction to such effect of the shares represented by this certificate, directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, any sales, short sales, swaps or any derivative transactions equivalent to any sales or short positions. During the Leak-Out Period, as defined in the Leak-Out Agreement, the Holder is entitled to dispose of only one-twelfth (1/12) of the shares per calendar month. Any attempt to dispose of these shares in violation of the Leak-Out Agreement may result in severe legal consequences.”

Any other sales shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

 

The Holder agrees with the Company that the leak-out period (the “Leak-Out Period”) shall start on the date that is the 181st day after the date of the closing (the “Closing Date”) of the acquisition per the Purchase Agreement, which should be the date when the Company issues to the Holder the shares of its Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Start Date”) and shall end at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the date that is 366 days following the Start Date (“End Date”). So, for a hypothetical example, if the Closing Date is March 12, 2024, the Start Date of the Leak Out Period would be September 9, 2024, and the End Date of the Leak Out Period would be September 10, 2025. During the Leak Out Period, the Holder shall be entitled to sell, dispose, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate or enter into any such transaction to such effect, directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, any sales, short sales, swaps or any derivative transactions that would be equivalent to any sales or short positions (each, a “Disposition”) an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of the total amount of the shares of Company Common Stock that Holder has received pursuant to the Purchase Agreement per calendar month. (So, for example, if the Holder received 120 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Holder could, during the Leak Out Period, sell up to 10 shares of Common Stock per calendar month). After the End Date, the Holder would not have any restriction on the number of shares that may be subject to Disposition.

 

The Holder understands and agrees that the Common Stock received pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and that the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission provide in substance that the Holder may dispose of the Common Stock only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the undersigned understands that the Company has no obligation or intention to register any of the shares of Common Stock obtained under the Purchase Agreement or the offering or sale thereof, or to take action so as to permit offers or sales pursuant to the Securities Act or an exemption from registration thereunder (including pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder).

 

The Company agrees to give to the Company’s transfer agent or counsel any and all instructions intended to facilitate Dispositions under this Leak-Out Agreement.

We believe that our Ultimate Plan offers unparalleled opportunities for agents to thrive and succeed in the competitive real estate market.
