Item 1.01.

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 23, 2017, Akoustis Technologies, Inc. (the Company)
entered into a Definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (the AP
Agreement) and a Definitive Real Property Purchase Agreement (RP
Agreement) (collectively, the Agreements) with The Research
Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) and
Fuller Road Management Corporation (FRMC), an affiliate of
RF-SUNY (collectively, Sellers), respectively, to acquire certain
specified assets, including STC-MEMS, a semiconductor
wafer-manufacturing operation and microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS) business with associated wafer-manufacturing tools, as
well as the real estate and improvements associated with the
facility located in Canandaigua, New York, which is used in the
operation of STC-MEMs (the assets and real estate and
improvements referred to together herein as the Acquired
Business). The Company also agreed to assume substantially all of
the on-going obligations of the Acquired Business incurred in the
ordinary course of business.

to the Agreements, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
certain conditions, the Company will purchase the Acquired
Business from Sellers for an aggregate purchase price of $2.75
million (subject to adjustment as provided in the AP Agreement),
payable in cash, at closing. The Company has delivered $10,000
into escrow as a good faith deposit to be refunded to the Company
only under certain limited circumstances, such as Sellers failure
to complete the sale or the Companys termination of the
Agreements due to Sellers failure to satisfy a condition
precedent to closing not waived by the Company.

Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreements
is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent,
including, but not limited to,delivery to the Company of the
financial books and records of the Acquired Business sufficient
for the completion of an audit, certain third-party consents, and
other customary conditions of closing.The Company has made
various representations and warranties and covenants in the
Agreements that are customary for a company acting as a buyer in
its industry except that the Company is required to pay to FRMC a
penalty, as set forth below, if the Company sells the property
subject to the RP Agreement within three (3) years after the date
of the RP Agreement for an amount in excess of $1,750,000,
subject to certain enumerated exceptions. The penalty imposed
shall be equivalent to the amount that the sales price of the
property exceeds $1,750,000 up to the maximum penalty (Maximum
Penalty) defined below:

Maximum Penalty
Year 1 $5,960,000
Year 2 $3,973,333
Year 3 $1,986,667
Year 4

While the Agreement contemplates that a closing of the sale of
the Acquired Business (the Closing) will take place on or about
June 30, 2017, or up to 14 additional days in the Companys
discretion if certain required consents have not been obtained,
the conditions precedent to closing are such that there can be no
assurance that the Company will complete its acquisition of the
Acquired Business in that time or at all.

The Acquired Business currently consists of a 120,000 square foot
commercial wafer-manufacturing facility, including Class
100/Class 1000 cleanroom space, located in Canandaigua, New York,
57-acres of real estate and improvements associated with the
manufacturing facility, 150-mm silicon MEMS wafer fab operations,
including semiconductor manufacturing tools, an existing
silicon-based MEMS business with historical annual revenues of
approximately $3.0 million from multiple customers, Trusted
Foundry accreditation for MEMS processing, packaging and
assembly, a 30 employee workforce that will be offered employment
upon the Closing and two existing tenants with multi-year leases.
