Material Agreement Form 8 K

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 23, 2024, Via Renewables, Inc. ("Via Renewables") entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Tomorrow Energy Corp ("Seller") to purchase a portfolio of residential RCEs. We expect customers to begin transferring to Via Renewables brands as early as December 2024. Simultaneously upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, Via Renewables, Seller, and the escrow agent entered into an Escrow Agreement, whereby Via Renewables deposited the total amount of the purchase price into escrow for the benefit of Seller. The release of the purchase price from escrow on a per-RCE basis to Seller will be in accordance with the terms and conditions in the Purchase Agreement, and any unallocated balance will be returned to Via Renewables once the acquisitions are complete. In addition to the Purchase Agreement, a Non-Solicitation Agreement was also entered into between Via Renewables and Seller, effective October 23, 2024, providing that, for a period of five (5) years following the last purchase price payment released to Seller, Seller agreed that they will not solicit or attempt to cancel, renew or terminate any customer or customer contract purchased by Via Renewables under the Purchase Agreement. Further, the Non-Solicitation Agreement provides for a reimbursement obligation in the event Seller solicits any such customers or customer contracts. The Purchase Agreement includes standard representations and warranties from all parties and indemnifications for breaches of such representations by Via Renewables on the one hand and by Seller on the other hand. The Purchase Agreement also provided for 7.5% of the aggregate purchase price paid by Via Renewables to continue to be held in escrow for one (1) year following the last purchase price payment released from escrow to Seller, as security for any breach of the Non-Solicitation Agreement by Seller and to cover Seller's indemnity obligations. The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
