Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 17, 2024, the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Ophir Agreement”) between Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) and Blake Alsbrook, solely in his capacity as Court-appointed successor receiver (the “Successor Receiver”) in Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation v. C. Robert Coe II, et al., United States District Court for the Central District of California (the “Court”) Case No. 2:19-cv-04299 VAP (JPRx) (the “Action”), was terminated. On such date, the Successor Receiver filed notice with the Court that the Successor Receiver canceled, without objection by the Company, the Ophir Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on November 21, 2023, the Company entered into the Ophir Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase, and the Successor Receiver agreed to sell to the Company, the Ophir Collection (as hereinafter defined) for a purchase price of $60,000,000, subject to the contingencies outlined in the Ophir Agreement, including Court approval, which was received on December 1, 2023.

 

Pursuant to the Court’s July 2, 2019 order in the Action, as modified by the Court’s February 25, 2022 order in the Action, the Successor Receiver has possession of and right to sell a certain collection of 43 gemstones, 42 of which are certified by the Gemological Institute of America, known as the “Ophir Collection”. Together, the Court’s July 2, 2019 order appointing the original receiver, the Court’s December 3, 2019, order appointing the Successor Receiver, and the Court’s February 25, 2022, order are referred to collectively as the “Receivership Orders.” The Receivership Orders authorized the Successor Receiver to take sole custody, possession, and control of the Ophir Collection and to sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver title and rights in and to the Ophir Collection subject to the approval of the Court to protect the interests of certain identified creditors.

 

Within two business days following the Company’s execution of the Ophir Agreement, the Company was required to, and did, deposit $25,000 with the Successor Receiver. In addition, to extend and maintain exclusivity related to the Ophir Agreement, the Company subsequently paid additional deposits in the amount of $205,000, for an aggregate deposit amount of $230,000. These amounts are non-refundable.
