Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, House & Garden Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), agreed to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of House & Garden, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“HG”), Humboldt Wholesale, Inc., a California corporation (“HW”), Allied Imports & Logistics, Inc., a California corporation (“Allied”), South Coast Horticultural Supply, Inc., a California corporation (“SC” and together with HG, HW and Allied, the “H&G Entities”) (the “Acquisition”), pursuant to that certain stock purchase agreement, dated as of May 21, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Buyer, the H&G Entities, all of the stockholders of each of the H&G Entities set forth on the signature pages to the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Sellers”) and Steven Muller, an individual resident of the State of Nevada, as Sellers’ representative (the “Sellers’ Representative”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer has agreed to pay an aggregate purchase price of $125 million using its existing cash resources, subject to customary adjustments at closing for cash, working capital, transaction expenses and indebtedness of the Sellers.

The H&G Entities produce and distribute premium grade plant nutrients and fertilizers across the globe. We believe that the strategic combination of our leading distribution capabilities with the H&G Entities’ local and global network and nutrient manufacturing capabilities will enable their brands to grow more rapidly across the combined company’s customer base. Moreover, we believe that the Acquisition will allow us to further develop our strategy of acquiring branded manufacturers in key CEA product categories, such as plant nutrients.

The Acquisition is expected to close in June 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The Purchase Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Buyer and the Sellers.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
