ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
KAPALUA CENTRAL RESORT
As reported in the Form 8-K filed on January 4, 2022, on December 29, 2021, Maui
Land & Pineapple Company, Inc., a Hawaii corporation ("MLP" or "Company"),
entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions
("Central Resort Purchase Agreement") with EKN Development Group LLC, a Nevada
limited liability company ("EKN"), pursuant to which MLP agrees to sell to EKN
and EKN agrees to purchase from MLP approximately 45.67 acres of property
located in the Kapalua Resort, commonly known as the Kapalua Central Resort
project (the "Central Resort Property").
Subsequent to January 4, 2022, EKN formed Fakhrey LLC, a Wyoming based limited
liability company ("Fakhrey") for the purpose of purchasing the parcel and the
Central Resort Purchase Agreement was assigned by EKN to Fakhrey.
On May 13, 2022, Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment") to the Central Resort Purchase
Agreement was executed between the Company and Fakhrey. The purchase price for
the Central Resort Property remains $40,000,000. Terms of the Amendment included
the end of diligence, provided Fakhrey's Acceptance Notice, waived exclusivity
by Fakhrey, changed terms of the initial deposit, changed terms of the
additional deposit, established the Fund described below, and established
conditions to close the transaction.
Currently, under the terms of a Special Management Area permit issued by the
Maui Planning Commission, construction of the project on the Central Resort
Property is required to be completed by April 10, 2023 (the "Completion
Deadline"). The Amendment provides that closing under the Central Resort
Purchase Agreement is conditioned on obtaining a minimum (5) five-year extension
of the Completion Deadline (the "Extension"). The Extension must be approved by
April 10, 2023, to satisfy the closing requirement. If the Extension is not
granted by April 10, 2023 the transaction is automatically cancelled. If the
Extension is granted, Fakhrey has 10 days from the approval date to terminate
the Central Resort Purchase Agreement if the Extension includes new and/or
additional conditions not currently included in the construction permit. In the
case of any termination of the Central Resort Purchase Agreement, Fakhrey waives
all rights to any maps, reports and studies and shall deliver these items to the
Company. The closing date will be a mutually agreed upon date no later than (30)
thirty days after the date of the Extension approval. Closing is also subject to
other customary closing conditions.
The non-refundable, initial deposit in the amount of $300,000 was restructured
to allow up to $290,000 to be spent by Fakhrey via draw requests for costs to
support the application for the Extension. If Fakhrey elects to not proceed to
closing, all unspent amounts of the initial deposit will be paid to the Company.
If the transaction moves to closing any unspent amounts will be applied towards
the purchase price.
The additional deposit in the amount of $1,500,000 has been rescinded. In lieu
of the additional deposit, Fakhrey will fund $2,000,000 within (5) five business
days from the Amendment into an account to be used to fund costs related to
obtaining the Extension (the "Fund"). The Fund can only be spent on required
updated technical studies, drawings, maps, reports, consultant fees required to
support the Extension, and construction on the property to support the
Extension. Collectively, these costs are referred to as Application Costs.
Fakhrey will provide to MLP monthly, a statement of account for the Fund and
documentation of Application Costs. Should the transaction fail to close, all
unspent money in the Fund will be returned to Fakhrey. Upon closing of the sale,
any unspent money in the Fund can be applied to the purchase price.
