Item 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

 

   On March 28, 2014, Northwest Pipe Company, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”) and Centric Pipe, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Buyer”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Buyer agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets and liabilities associated with the oil country tubular goods business conducted by the Company at its manufacturing facilities in Bossier City, Louisiana and Houston, Texas, excluding the real property located in Houston, Texas (the “Acquisition”). The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements by the parties, including mutual indemnification obligations.

 

   The Acquisition was completed on March 31, 2014. The purchase price was approximately $42.7 million, subject to a post-closing adjustment based on changes in net working capital. Approximately $4.3 million of the proceeds will be held in escrow for twelve months to secure the Company’s indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Approximately $5.2 million was used to repay Company debt related to and secured by certain assets at the Bossier City, Louisiana manufacturing facility. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company and Buyer entered into a six month lease of the real property located in Houston, Texas (the “Houston Real Property”), and the Company granted Buyer an option to purchase the Houston Real Property under certain circumstances.
