On June 1, 2012, Quality Distribution, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition (the “Bice Acquisition”) of the operating assets of Wylie Bice Trucking, LLC (“Bice”) pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Bice APA”), dated as of May 7, 2012, by and among the Company; Quality Carriers, Inc. (“Quality Carriers”), an Illinois corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; Wylie Bice Trucking, LLC (“Bice Trucking”), a North Dakota limited liability company; and Wylie C. Bice, the sole member of Bice Trucking. The Company acquired the operating assets of Bice Trucking for total consideration (subject to certain adjustments) of $47,580,000 consisting of $29,400,000 in cash, $12,780,000 in the form of one or more promissory notes and $5,400,000 of common stock of the Company. In addition, the Company agreed to (i) the assumption of certain liabilities and (ii) certain deferred earn-out payments of up to an additional $11,400,000, if certain future operating and financial performance criteria are satisfied.
The foregoing description of the Bice APA and the transactions thereunder, including the Bice Acquisition, is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bice APA, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.
The Bice Acquisition has been referenced in this communication to provide investors and shareholders with information regarding its terms. Such reference is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or its subsidiaries. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Bice APA were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Bice APA, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Bice APA instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Bice APA and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Bice APA, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
