Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 21, 2008, China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an equity transfer agreement (the "Equity Transfer Agreement") with China Safetech Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Safetech"), and Weilan Zhuang, the sole owner of Sharp Eagle(HK) Limited, a Hong Kong corporation ("Sharp Eagle") pursuant to which Safetech purchased 100% ownership of Sharp Eagle from Ms. Zhuang. Sharp Eagle is a holding company that owns all the outstanding equity of Beijing Aurine Divine Land Technology Co., Ltd., a corporation incorporated in China ("Guanlin"). Guanlin is a system integrator.
Under the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Company will pay a total consideration of RMB 39,110,071 (approximately $5.59 million) in exchange for 100% ownership of Sharp Eagle, consisting of RMB 12,500,000 (approximately $1.79 million) in cash and RMB 26,610,071 (approximately $3.80 million) in the Companys shares of common stock. The number of shares issuable in satisfaction of the equity portion of the purchase price is 206,661 (based upon $18.374/share, the 20-day average closing price of the Companys stock prior to the signing of the Equity Transfer Agreement) which will be issued within 90 days following the execution of the Equity Transfer Agreement. The Company has paid off the cash portion of the purchase price as of the date of this report.
The Equity Transfer Agreement contains certain "make good" provisions, under which Ms. Zhuang pledged to the Company a total of 103,332 shares of the Companys common stock that she will receive as partial consideration for the acquisition to secure her make good obligation under the Equity Transfer Agreement. The Equity Transfer Agreement established minimum after tax net income thresholds of RMB 3.5 million (approximately $0.5 million) for the fiscal year 2007 and RMB 4.5 million (approximately $0.64 million) for the fiscal year 2008. In the event that the minimum after tax net income thresholds for the fiscal year 2007 or for the fiscal year 2008 are not achieved by Sharp Eagle and Guanlin, then, in each case, the Company will be entitled to receive 51,666 shares that Ms. Zhuang pledged to the Company for each applicable year.
The foregoing description does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties rights and obligations under the Equity Transfer Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or a complete explanation of the material terms thereof. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Equity Transfer Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On April 21, 2008, the Company and Safetech consummated the acquisition of the 100% ownership of Sharp Eagle which owns 100% of Guanlin, pursuant to the terms set forth in the Equity Transfer Agreement as described above.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of
Equity Securities The information pertaining to the Companys
shares of common stock in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference in its
entirety. The shares of the Companys common stock issuable to Ms. Zhuang and
her designees under the Equity Transfer Agreement have not been registered under

buy, any security and shall not constitution an offer, solicitation or sale in
