Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On July 31, 2020, Water Now, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, HydraSpin USA, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”), entered into an Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company, RigMax, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Parent”), and RigMax H2O, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Buyer”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company shall sell substantially all of its assets to the Buyer effective on a date that is no later than seven (7) business days after the stated closing conditions are satisfied or on such other date as agreed upon by the Company and the Buyer (the “Closing Date”).

The Agreement, among other things, provides for the following:

•

The Company will sell all of its right, title and interest in the Assets, as that term is defined in the Agreement, to the Buyer.

•

The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Assets to be sold to the Buyer is $30,000,000, less all pre-closing deposits made by the Buyer, payable in cash and in full at closing.

•

In accordance with the terms of a separate Escrow Agreement to be entered into by the parties, $1,000,000 of the Purchase Price will be held in an escrow account for a period of 12 months following the closing to satisfy claims the Buyer may have against the Company under the Agreement.

•

The Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Closing Date by (i) mutual written consent of the parties, (ii) by the Company or the Buyer if there has been a breach by a party of its representations, warranties or covenants that is not timely cured, (iii) by either party in the event all conditions precedent to closing are not satisfied before October 31, 2020, or (iv) by either party in the event the Company is unable to obtain shareholder approval of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement on or before October 31, 2020.

•

The Company may also terminate the Agreement in the event it receives a bona fide third-party, unsolicited written acquisition proposal that the board of directors reasonably concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, constitutes or would constitute a superior proposal. If the Company elects to exercise this option it shall have to pay to the Buyer the break-up fee described in the Agreement.

•

The Company and the Buyer have generally agreed to mutual indemnification for certain losses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and its ancillary documents.

•

The Asset sale is subject to, among other standard closing conditions, approval by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Water Now, Inc.’s common stock.

The transaction is expected to close on or before October 31, 2020. The actual timing may vary materially based on various factors including the approval by holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Water Now, Inc.’s common stock and the receipt and satisfaction of other closing conditions listed in the Agreement.

The Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants by the parties and other factual information about the Company, the Buyer and their respective businesses or operations. The representations, warranties covenants and other factual statements: (i) have been made solely for the benefit of the other party or parties to such agreements and amendments; (ii) were made only as of the date of such agreements and amendments or such other date(s) as expressly set forth in such agreements or amendments and are subject to more recent developments, which may not be fully reflected in our public disclosure; (iii) may have been subject to qualifications with respect to materiality, knowledge and other matters, which qualifications modify, qualify and create exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants in the agreements or amendments; (iv) may be qualified by disclosures made to such other party or parties in connection with signing such agreements or amendments, which disclosures contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants in such agreements or amendments; (v) have been made to reflect the allocation of risk among the parties to such agreements or amendments rather than establishing matters as facts; and (vi) may apply materiality standards different from what may be viewed as material to investors. Accordingly, these representations, warranties, covenants, and statements of fact should not be relied upon by investors as they may not describe the Company's actual state of affairs as of July 31, 2020 or as of the date of filing this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 8.01 Other Events

Post-Closing Expectations

In connection with the transactions described above, the Company expects the following events to occur.

Liquidation of the Company

As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Water Now, Inc., after satisfaction of all debt and other third party obligations, intends to pay a liquidating dividend to the holders of its outstanding common stock (the “Liquidation Event”). Thereafter, the Company shall be dissolved in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

Termination of Future Periodic Reporting Obligations

Following the Liquidation Event the Company will no longer have any outstanding securities registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and, following any required deregistration procedures, will not be subject to the periodic reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
