ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On August 11, 2010, Dice Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the purchase (the “Acquisition”) of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Rigzone.com, Inc., a U.S. market leader in the oil and gas industry delivering online content, data, advertising and career services. Assets acquired include working capital and intangible assets consisting of technology, trademarks and brand names, customer lists, and candidate databases. A copy of the press release issued by the Company describing the Acquisition is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Rigzone.com, Inc. and its sole shareholder, David Kent, Jr. (the “Shareholder”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Rigzone.com, Inc. from the Shareholder. The purchase price consists of initial consideration of $39 million in cash. On or about October 15, 2011, additional consideration of up to a maximum of $16 million in cash is payable upon the achievement of certain operating and financial goals through June 30, 2011. Approximately $3.9 million of the purchase price was placed in an escrow account, with funds to be released to pay indemnification claims. The escrow arrangement will terminate on October 11, 2011. Certain components of the purchase price were estimated at closing. Within 60 days of the closing date, the final purchase price will be determined.
The Stock Purchase Agreement includes certain customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The parties have also agreed that the representations and warranties of the shareholder shall survive for varying periods. Subject to certain limitations, the parties agreed to indemnify each other for breaches of representations, warranties and agreements and certain other items. In addition, the Shareholder agreed not to engage in certain activities that would compete with the Company for the next three years.
The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the entire Stock Purchase Agreement which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
