Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On February 16, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Unusual Machines, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired 100% of the equity of Fat Shark Holdings Ltd (“Fat Shark”) and Rotor Riot LLC (“Rotor Riot”) from Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (“Red Cat”) in exchange for $20 million (the “Purchase Price”) comprised of (i) $1.0 million in cash, (ii) a $2.0 million promissory note (the “Note”) issued by the Company to Red Cat on the Closing Date, and (iii) $17.0 million of the Company’s common stock or 4,250,000 shares of common stock issued by the Company on the Closing Date. See the next page for information on certain registration rights we granted to Red Cat. On the Closing Date, Red Cat also executed a lock-up agreement effective for 180 days following the Closing Date, or such lesser period as may be agreed upon by the managing underwriter of the Company’s initial public offering and Red Cat under which Red Cat agreed not to transfer or sell any of its 4,250,000 shares of our common stock during such period, subject to certain exceptions. The Company’s initial public offering was also consummated on the Closing Date. As a result of the Company’s issuance of the 4,250,000 shares of common stock to Red Cat, Red Cat owns 48.66% of the Company’s common stock as of the Closing Date.
The Company, Red Cat, and Jeffrey Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of Red Cat and a director of the Company, (the “Thompson”) had previously entered into a Share Purchase Agreement dated November 21, 2022 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement contained, among other terms, the terms and conditions required to consummate the acquisitions and contained customary representations and warranties.
On the Closing Date, the parties to the Purchase Agreement agreed to defer the requirement to provide the Estimated Working Capital Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the calculations of the Estimated Working Capital (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and as applicable, the Estimated Working Capital Excess Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or the Estimated Working Capital Deficiency Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) required by Section 2.04(a) of the Purchase Agreement. Rather, the parties agreed that their respective financial teams will deliver estimated or agreed upon actual calculations of the foregoing (based on the book value of physical inventory and fair value of any transition inventory in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) on or before May 17, 2024 (the “Calculation Date”). Any disputes with respect to any calculations including the failure to agree on such calculations by the Calculation Date (unless the Parties shall agree to an extension of the Calculation Date in writing) shall be resolved by an Independent Accounting Firm and the mechanics set forth in Section 2.04(c) of Purchase Agreement. No payments or adjustments related to Working Capital was made on the Closing Date. In the event that after determining the actual Working Capital calculation, any actual Working Capital Excess Amount, at Red Cat’s option, will be paid in cash or will increase the principal amount of the Note and any actual Working Capital Deficiency Amount will, at Red Cat’s option, will be paid in cash or will reduce the principal amount of the Promissory Note dollar for dollar.
The Note bears interest at 8%. Interest is payable monthly in arrears on the 15th day of each month commencing on the next month following the original issue date of the Note. The principal amount of the note is payable in a lump sum on the 18 month anniversary of Closing Date. In the event of a qualified financing of debt or equity where the Company receives net proceeds of $5.0 million in one or more related transactions, Red Cat may require the Company to repay the Note with accrued interest thereon in cash. Upon an event of default, Red Cat may require the Company to convert the Note into shares of our common stock, subject to beneficial ownership limitations set forth in the Note, at a conversion price equal to an amount of the 10 day average VWAP (as defined in the Note) prior to the conversion date.
In addition, the Company executed a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to use its best efforts to prepare and file a registration statement with respect to 500,000 shares of its common stock which were issued to Red Cat as part of the Purchase Price, and to cause such registration statement to be filed within 120 days and declared effective within 180 days of closing.

On the Closing Date, Thompson’s executed a Lock-up Agreement effective for 180 days following the Closing Date (the “Lock-up Period”) with respect to all of his shares of common stock that he held on the Closing Date. In addition, Thompson agreed that upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Security Shares”) shall remain locked-up subject to his Lock-Up Agreement for an additional 90 days, or for such longer period until there is a Settled Claim (as defined in the Lock-up Agreement”) or resolution of a Disputed Claim (each as defined in the Lock-up Agreement) to provide security for Red Cat’s and Thompson’s indemnification obligations to the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a Non-Compete Agreement in favor of Red Cat whereby for a period commencing with the Closing Date continuing for a period of five years (the “Restricted Period”), the Restricted Parties (as defined in the Non-Compete Agreement) agreed to restrict its activities and agreed not to design, manufacture, market, import, build or sell any Group 1 or Group 2 UAV drone (as defined in the Non-Compete Agreement) to customers which are a Governmental Authority (as defined in the Non-Compete Agreement) and/or any third-party intermediary to customers which are a Governmental Authority, without the prior written consent of Red Cat. Dr. Allan Evans, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, also executed and delivered a similar Non-Compete Agreement with a 12 month Restricted Period.
The Company’s Non-Compete Agreement also provided that the Company shall be entitled to be paid 10% of net collected revenue as and when collected for sales made by Teal Drones Inc. or any successor or affiliated company of Teal (“Teal”) referred by the Company (a “UMAC Referral”) for sales of Group 1 or Group 2 UAV drones to a Government Authority not previously in contact with Teal and the Company is obligated to refer all such opportunities to Teal during its Restricted Period. Such referral fees shall be payable to the Company after the expiration of the Restricted Period if Teal continues to sell Group 1 UAV or Group 2 UAV drones to a third party that was a UMAC Referral.

Non-Compete
I hereby enter into this Non-Compete (“Agreement”) with Unusual Machines, Inc. (“the Company”) on this the 16th day of February 2024 (the “Effective Date”).
WHEREAS, I have been an employee as Chief Executive Officer of the Company pursuant to an Offer Letter dated November 27, 2023 (the “Offer Letter”);
WHEREAS pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated November 21, 2022 (as, amended, the “SPA”) by and among the Company, Red Cat Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Red Cat”), and Jeffrey Thompson, on or about the date hereof the Company will acquire from Red Cat all of the capital stock of Fat Shark Holdings, Ltd (“Fat Shark”) and Rotor Riot, LLC (“Rotor Riot,” and collectively the “Target Companies”) in connection with the acquisition contemplated in the SPA (the “Acquisition”);
WHEREAS as an inducement and condition precedent for Red Cat to consummate the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the SPA, I am required to execute and deliver this Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Company and I recognize that the agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are required to protect the business interests of Red Cat.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and I hereby agree as follows, intending to be legally bound:

| (a) | engage in or attempt to engage in any activity, work, business, or investment in the Prohibited Business; provided, however, I may own an investment interest of less than 5% in a publicly-traded company and my current shareholdings in Red Cat; or | |
| (b) | render advice or services to, or otherwise assist, any other person or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in the Prohibited Business; or | |
| (c) | directly or indirectly, either as proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, employee or otherwise, distribute, sell, offer to sell, or solicit any orders for the purchase or distribution of any products or services which are similar to those distributed, sold or provided by Red Cat during the 12 months preceding my termination of employment with Red Cat, to or from any person, firm or entity which was a customer of Red Cat during the 12 months preceding such termination of employment. |

This Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of my employment with the Company, November 27, 2023.
