Purchase Price Reduced by $1M
Amendment No. 2 to the Titan Crest APA lowers the aggregate purchase price from $8,000,000 to $7,000,000.
-
Payment Restructured
Remaining $2,000,000 will be paid as $1,000,000 cash and $1,000,000 in restricted common stock based on the 30-day VWAP preceding the Transfer.
-
Covenant and Indemnity Shift
Titan Crest is released from substantially all remaining covenants and indemnification obligations, with its affiliate assuming those obligations.
-
Delivery Delays Cited
The amendment was prompted by Titan's substantial delinquency in delivering products, causing delays in the 5G ORAN radio product development.
Analysis · AMPG · Manufacturing
AmpliTech renegotiated its asset purchase agreement with Titan Crest after Titan's substantial delivery delays stalled the 5G ORAN radio product development. The purchase price drops from $8 million to $7 million, and the remaining $2 million will be paid half in cash and half in restricted stock based on the 30-day VWAP at transfer. Titan is released from most covenants and indemnities, with its affiliate assuming those obligations. The company retains all pre-amendment claims. This reduces AmpliTech's cash outlay and shifts some payment to equity, but the release of Titan's obligations shifts risk to the affiliate.
