Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 5, 2019, Profire Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) with Dustin Baker and Brant Baker (the “Sellers”) to acquire all of the outstanding membership interests of Midflow Services, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Midflow”). The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions. The transaction closed concurrently with the signing of the Agreement on August 5, 2019. As a result of the transaction, Midflow became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.

The Company paid a total purchase price of $3.4 million of which $1.9 million was paid in cash to the Sellers at closing, $500,000 has been placed in a one-year escrow to secure the Sellers’ post-closing obligations to the Company, and $1 million was paid in restricted shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the Sellers (calculated based on the common stock’s closing price on August 2, 2019). The purchase price also is subject to adjustment based on Midflow’s working capital at closing.

The foregoing description of the MIPA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the MIPA, a copy of which will be filed in the time period prescribed by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
