Item 1.01ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

Coord3 Transaction

 

On January 29, 2015, Perceptron CMM, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Perceptron, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into the Agreement for the purchase of 100% of the business of Coord3 Industries s.r.l. dated January 29, 2015, among Coord3 Industries, s.r.l., an Italian company, (“Coord3”) and Angelo Muscarella (together with Coord3, the “Coord3 Sellers”) and Perceptron CCM, LLC (the “Buyer”) (the “Coord3 Agreement”) pursuant to which the Buyer or an affiliate will acquire the business of Coord3 for €2 million (the “Coord3 Transaction”). The purchase price is payable €1.7 million at closing and €300,000 18 months following closing to the extent not used to cover indemnification obligations of the Coord3 Sellers. The Company expects to fund the purchase price from cash on hand.

 

Coord3 is a designer and manufacturer of coordinate measurement machines, based in Turin, Italy.

 

In connection with the Coord3 Transaction, Coord3 will contribute substantially all of its assets and liabilities to a newly formed Italian company (“NewCo”). An affiliate of the Company will acquire all of the share capital of NewCo. The liabilities of Coord3 to be contributed to NewCo will include: (i) approximately €9.2 million due to banks and for tax and other governmental obligations and (ii) accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.

 

The purchase price under the Coord3 Transaction is subject to a working capital adjustment and an adjustment based upon the amount of bank debt outstanding as of the closing date. The Coord3 Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Buyer and Coord3 Sellers have each agreed to indemnify the other for breaches of representations and warranties and for other specified matters. The Coord3 Sellers will be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation provisions following the consummation of the Coord3 Transaction.

 

The Coord3 Transaction is expected to close by the end of February 2015. The closing is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Coord3 Agreement may be terminated by the Company and the Coord3 Sellers under certain specified circumstances.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Coord3 Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference.

 

The Coord3 Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Company and the Sellers as of specific dates. The representations and warranties reflect negotiations between the parties to the Coord3 Agreement and are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by the Company’s shareholders. In certain cases, the representations and warranties merely represent allocation decisions among the parties. The representations and warranties have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Coord3 Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Coord3 Agreement itself, may no longer be true as of a given date and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by shareholders. As such, the representations and warranties are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Coord3 Agreement. The representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time, may change after the date of the Coord3 Agreement and should not be relied upon as statements of facts.

In connection with the closing of the NMS Transactions, Mr. Mills was appointed Vice President, Global Marketing, for Perceptron. A deal consummation fee of €250,000 is payable to an affiliate of Mr. Mills upon the closing of the Coord3 Transaction.

 

The NMS Stock Purchase Agreements contain customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Company and the NMS Seller under each of the NMS Stock Purchase Agreements have each agreed to indemnify the other for breaches of representations and warranties and for other specified matters. The NMS Sellers are subject to non-competition and non-solicitation provisions following the consummation of the NMS Transactions.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NMS Stock Purchase Agreements, which are attached as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and incorporated by reference.

 

The NMS Stock Purchase Agreements contain representations and warranties by the Company and the NMS Sellers as of specific dates. The representations and warranties reflect negotiations between the parties to the NMS Stock Purchase Agreements and are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by the Company’s shareholders. In certain cases, the representations and warranties merely represent allocation decisions among the parties. The representations and warranties have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of NMS Stock Purchase Agreements, which disclosures are not reflected in the NMS Stock Purchase Agreements themselves, may no longer be true as of a given date and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by shareholders. As such, the representations and warranties are solely for the benefit of the parties to the NMS Stock Purchase Agreements. The representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time, may change after the date of the NMS Stock Purchase Agreements and should not be relied upon as statements of facts.
