Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 2, 2010, Cambrex Corporation (the “Company”) through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Camzena Holdings Limited (the “Buyer”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Nulife Cyprus Limited (the “Seller”) whereby the Buyer purchased a fifty-one percent (51%) interest in Zenara Pharma Limited (UK) and Zenara Pharma Private Limited (India) (hereinafter collectively the “Zenara Group”) from the Seller for twenty-million dollars ($20,000,000) and, providing the Buyer has not exercised its option to sell its fifty-one percent (51%) interest before December 31, 2015, agreed to acquire the remaining forty-nine percent (49%) interest in the Zenara Group in early 2016 at a value to be determined using a weighted combination of a multiple of 2015 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization calculated on an Indian GAAP basis and subject to certain adjustments (“EBITDA”) and cumulative EBITDA for the years 2011 through 2015.
The foregoing description of the acquisition is intended to provide a summary of the terms of the Agreement and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement that is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Readers should review that Agreement for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with the transaction. The Agreement is filed herewith to provide investors with information regarding its terms. The Agreement is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Seller, the Zenara Group, the Buyer or the Company. In particular, the Agreement contains certain representations and warranties regarding the Seller, the Zenara Group, the Buyer and the Company. The assertions embodied in such representations and warranties are not necessarily assertions of fact, but are a mechanism for the parties to allocate risk.
