NOTE 22 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
On March 30, 2020, Edible Garden Corp. (“Edible Garden”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Terra Tech Corp. (the “Company”), entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Edible Garden Incorporated (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which Edible Garden sold and the Purchaser purchased substantially all of the assets of Edible Garden (the “Business”). Michael James, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, is a principal of the Purchaser. There is no material relationship between the Company or its affiliates and the Purchaser other than as set forth in the previous sentence. The Purchase Agreement contains customary conditions, representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants by, among, and for the benefit of the parties.
On December 30, 2019, the Company entered into a secured promissory note agreement with the Matthew Lee Morgan Trust, which is affiliated with Matthew Morgan, formerly the Chief Executive Officer of OneQor. The note matures on January 30, 2021, and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The note was converted into the Company’s common stock at maturity.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued promissory notes totaling $1.80 million to OneQor Technologies, Inc (“OneQor”). Derek Peterson and Mike Nahass, formerly the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively, had minority ownership interests in OneQor. At the end of the fiscal year, management made the decision to fully-reserve for these loans due to their confidence in the completion of the merger with OneQor, which would result in the cancellation of these loans.
All related party transactions are monitored quarterly by the Company and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. |
