Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On December 23, 2010, Iteris, Inc. (“Iteris”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Meridian Environmental Technology, Inc. (“Meridian”) and the shareholders of Meridian to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Meridian (the “Acquisition”).  Meridian is a leader in 511 advanced traveler information systems as well as Maintenance Decision Support System (MDSS) management tools that allow users to create solutions to meet roadway maintenance decision needs.  The purchase price for the Acquisition will be approximately $4 million in cash ($2 million at the closing and an additional $1 million on each of the next two anniversaries of the closing), subject to certain adjustments, plus up to an additional $1 million per year for two years pursuant to an earn-out provision, based on revenue and operating income achieved from Meridian’s operations during the twelve months ending December 31, 2011 and 2012.

 

The consummation of the Acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions.  The Agreement also contains representations, warranties and covenants from the parties to one another and may be terminated by mutual consent of the parties or by either party in certain events, including if the closing has not occurred by January 31, 2011.

 

A copy of the press release announcing the execution of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
