On July 17, 2026, HF Foods Group Inc. (the "Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") by and among the Company, HF Acquisition Newco Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Buyer"), HF Toro Canada Holdings Inc., a British Columbia limited company (“Searay AcquisitionCo" and, together with the Company and the Buyer, the "Buyer Entities"), Searay Foods Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of British Columbia ("Searay Canada"), Morgan Foods Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of British Columbia ("Morgan Foods" and, together with Searay Canada, the "Company Group"); the sellers named therein (the "Sellers"), and Jackie Chi Fai Chan, solely in his capacity as the representative of the Sellers, pursuant to which the Buyer Entities will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Company Group from the Sellers (the “Transaction"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Sellers, who together are the legal and beneficial owners of 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of the Company Group, agreed to sell all of such securities to the Buyer Entities. At the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing"), Searay AcquisitionCo will have purchased the Company Securities of both Searay Canada and Morgan Foods from the applicable Sellers. As a result of the transaction, Searay Canada and Morgan Foods will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the aggregate base purchase price is CAD$47,921,740 (equal to five times the baseline Adjusted EBITDA of CAD$9,556,348, plus CAD$140,000), payable as (i) CAD$38,365,392 in cash (subject to customary post-closing adjustments) and (ii) 1,701,871 shares of the Company's common stock to be deposited in escrow. In addition, the Sellers are eligible to receive contingent earnout payments based on achievement of specified EBITDA targets over a two- to three-year period following the closing. The Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions.
The Closing is expected to occur no later than the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions set forth in the Agreement, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals, and in no event later than August 31, 2026, unless earlier terminated or extended in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
In connection with the Agreement, certain key employees of the Company Group, including a Seller, entered into employment agreements with a subsidiary of the Company.
