Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 27, 2020, we entered into a share exchange agreement pursuant to
which we agreed to sell our controlling interest in HCIC Holdings, LLC, which
owns 5,062 shares of Huerfano-Cucharas Irrigation Company ("HCIC"), a mutual
irrigation company and owner of water infrastructure assets and infrastructure
rights in Huerfano County, Colorado, including the Cucharas Dam. The Cucharas
Dam is located 13 miles northeast of Walsenburg, Colorado on the Cucharas River,
and consists of 22 miles of potential shoreline, water rights of 31,958
acre-feet decreed, 34,404 acre-feet conditional, and 41,200 acre-feet of storage
rights.
The agreement between the companies consists of WaterVault paying Two Rivers
$500,000 cash, and issuing a $1,000,000 line of credit, 6,000,000 shares of
common stock and $58,969,000 of preferred stock in WaterVault. WaterVault will
assume the related $10,000,000 debt from Two Rivers, and is responsible for
securing an estimated $40,000,0000 financing for future Cucharas Dam
construction obligations. In January 2019, the Cucharas Dam's structure was
razed by the Colorado State Office of Engineers as a result of insufficient
capital needed to comply with reconstruction.
The closing must occur on or before April 30, 2020, unless otherwise agreed upon
by the parties. The closing is subject to various conditions. We cannot assure
you that the proposed acquisition will be completed by April 30, 2020 or at all,
or that we will achieve the intended benefits from the acquisition.
The foregoing description of the share exchange agreement is a summary and is
qualified in its entirety by the terms of the share exchange agreement, a copy
of which is being filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
On April 20, 2020, we issued a press release with respect to the proposed
acquisition. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1
hereto. The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 is intended to be furnished
and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities

nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the
