On April 4, 2019, the Company entered into Award Forfeiture Agreements (“Forfeiture Agreements”) with certain of the Company’s executives and members of its Board. Pursuant to the Forfeiture Agreements, these individuals voluntarily forfeited their equity award grants with a grant date prior to January 1, 2018. The forfeitures included 495,794 stock options and 119,000 performance stock units issued under the Plan and
250,000
stock options not issued under the Plan.
 
On April 11, 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Pathion Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and Pathion, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Subsidiary” and together with the Purchaser, the “Purchaser Entities”) to sell certain assets related to the Company’s PPSA™ / Power Conversion Systems business (the “PPSA Business”). The purchase price consists of $500,000 in cash and 150,000 shares of the common stock of the Purchaser. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser will assume certain liabilities relating to the PPSA Business, and the Purchaser shall have a limited three (3) year exclusive option to purchase the Company’s B-TRAN™, subject to certain minimum purchase obligations. The option is limited to third parties and for use in commercial, industrial, microgrid and grid-scale standalone energy storage systems using an integrated multi-port power conversion system. The Purchase Agreement contains customary provisions for an asset sale including representations and warranties, indemnification for intellectual property-related matters and indemnification, expiring after 6 months, for certain assumed liabilities in excess of $1 million. The closing of the transaction is contingent upon the Company and the Purchaser entering into an agreement pursuant to which the Company will sublease to the Purchaser approximately 80% of the premises located at 4120 Freidrich Lane, Suite 100, Austin, Texas, and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Subject to certain exceptions described in the Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Purchase Agreement is terminated by either party prior to closing, a “break-up” fee of $200,000 shall be payable to the non-terminating party. The transaction is expected to close in May 2019.
