Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
See Item 2.01 -- "Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets" for information concerning the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 24, 2013, pursuant to which Intelligent Power Acquisition Inc., a subsidiary of Blue Earth, Inc. (Blue Earth or the Company) merged with Intelligent Power, Inc.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
The Company, together with its wholly-owned subsidiary Intelligent Power Acquisition, Inc. simultaneously entered into and completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Agreement) dated as of July 24, 2013, with Intelligent Power, Inc. (IP), and the Stockholders of IP (the Acquisition).
IP owns patented demand response, cloud based, real-time energy management technology. The technology allows BBLU to provide energy monitoring and control solutions with real-time decision support to protect our customers assets by preventing costly equipment failures and food product losses. Food stores use more than twice as much energy as the average commercial building per square foot. In the U.S., there are approximately 900,000 restaurants and convenience stores; 60,000 supermarkets and food processing facilities and 55,000 drug and discount stores. Typical stores have equipment failures every two weeks. The volatility of energy prices and refrigeration equipment failures puts pressure on their profit margins. IPs innovative PeakPower System is a turnkey solution that monitors and controls energy and equipment within the store. The System enables BBLU to enter into long-term service agreements that allow most types of refrigeration equipment failures to be predicted, thereby allowing preventive service based on need rather than periodic, scheduled and costly service calls.
The Company has a base of several thousand customers in the food service sectors which will be well served by utilizing the IP, PowerPeak System to meet their energy savings and sustainability objectives. In addition, food distribution warehouses are being required by law to prove products remained at safe temperatures while under their control. The PeakPower System establishes an audit trail record of temperature history data that may be archived. It can even track the temperature in the truck or shipping container. Further, as a demand response application, PeakPower automatically shifts loads to off-peak rates or on designated critical days or for environmental reasons. The acquisition will enhance the Companys proprietary Keep Your Cool program, currently sponsored by several utilities, and allow the Company to extend the footprint throughout the United States.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, an aggregate of 1,383,400 shares of Blue Earth Common Stock (the Merger Consideration) was issued to the former stockholders of IP (the Stockholders). At the Closing the Stockholders exchanged 100% of the outstanding shares of IP for the Merger Consideration. Through the Agreement, Intelligent Power Acquisition, Inc. merged with and into IP, with IP as the surviving entity, in accordance with the Oregon Business Corporations Act. IP will be operated as a wholly- owned subsidiary of Blue Earth.
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement and Plan of Merger attached as an exhibit hereto.
