Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On October 2, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), Issuer Direct Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Kurtis D. Hughes (the “Seller”) whereby the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity securities of Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Interwest”). Interwest is a transfer agent business located in Salt Lak City, Utah. Subsequent to the Closing Date, Interwest will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company will pay to the Seller as follows: (i) cash payments of $1,935,000 paid as of the Closing Date and $320,000 paid on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) issue as of the Closing Date the number of shares of “restricted” common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) equal to $320,000 divided by the average per share closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 90 trading days prior to the Closing Date, or 25,235 shares (the “Shares”).
 
The Purchase Agreement and the Interwest acquisition are not subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company. The Purchase Agreement contains standard representations and warranties regarding Interwest and the Seller and certain limited representations and warranties regarding the Company. The Purchase Agreement contains indemnification provisions for the Company and the Seller. The Company has the right to offset any claims of indemnification it might have against any future cash payments to the Seller. The Seller agreed to a 5-year non-compete subject to certain approved exceptions as part of the Purchase Agreement.
