Item 2.01.         Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On September 1, 2021, HG Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Title Agency Ventures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TAV”), and Fidelis US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”). On such date, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and in an immediate sign-and-close transaction, the Company purchased 50% of the membership interests of TAV from Seller (the “Acquisition”) for $2.2 million (the “Purchase Price”).

 

The Acquisition, combined with the previously-announced acquisition by the Company in July 2021 of a 100% membership interest in National Consumer Title Group LLC, a Florida limited liability company, which owns a 50% membership interest in TAV, the Company now is the sole owner of TAV, and by virtue thereof, owns all of the membership interests in Omega National Title Agency (“Omega”), a Florida based title agency. Omega operates 10 title agency locations in Florida providing title agency services for residential and commercial real estate transactions.

 

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of each party and certain covenants made by each party.  The representations and warranties by the Seller survive closing for 12 months, except that certain fundamental representations survive for the latter of (i) five years, or (ii) 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.  The Seller’s indemnification obligations for breaches of non-fundamental representations are capped at $220,000.

 

The representations, warranties and covenants included in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for purposes of the agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Purchase Agreement, including exceptions set forth on confidential disclosure schedules.  Accordingly, the Company’s shareholders should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of  related facts or circumstances, and should bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, were negotiated for purposes of allocating contractual risk among such parties and may be subject to contractual standards of materiality that differ from those generally applicable to shareholders.  Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date hereof and any such subsequent information may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
