Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 22, 2017, AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. (“AquaBounty”) completed the acquisition of the Albany, Indiana, aquaculture facility owned by Bell Fish Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Bell”), to the
terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement with Bell dated as of June 9, 2017 (the “Purchase Agreement”). AquaBounty’s entry into the Purchase Agreement was previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 13, 2017.
AquaBounty acquired, among other things, (i) any and all land owned by Bell, together with all buildings, structures, fixtures, improvements, and other appurtenances located thereon and any and all of Bell’s interests in easements, licenses, rights of access, and rights of way relating thereto; (ii) certain tangible personal property owned by Bell used in the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the real property; (iii) Bell’s rights under certain contracts, including rights as tenant under certain leases; and (iv) all supplies owned by Bell and used in the operation of the property (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Property”). As AquaBounty will not be continuing Bell’s business of farming trout, the Property does not include inventory, aquatic biomass (i.e., fish and fish eggs), cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, certain scheduled contracts, intellectual property, employee plans, or specified excluded assets. The consideration given for the Property was $14.0 million in cash.
The foregoing description of the acquisition does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with AquaBounty’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ending June 30, 2017.
