Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 11, 2017, Callaway Golf Company (“Callaway”) acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Ogio International, Inc. (“Ogio”), pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Callaway, Ogio, each of the shareholders and optionholders of Ogio (collectively, the “Sellers”), and David J. Wunderli, as Shareholder Representative.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Callaway paid to the Sellers an aggregate purchase price of $75.5 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment.

Callaway, Ogio and the Sellers agreed to customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement. Subject to certain limitations, the Sellers are required to indemnify Callaway for losses resulting from any breaches of Ogio’s or the Sellers’ representations, warranties and covenants made in the Purchase Agreement and certain other matters. To supplement the indemnification provided by the Sellers, Callaway has obtained representation and warranty insurance.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Purchase Agreement has been attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors with information regarding its terms. The Purchase Agreement is not intended to provide any other factual information about Callaway, Ogio or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement as of the specific dates set forth therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties for the purposes of allocating contractual risk among such parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to such contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors 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 parties to the Purchase Agreement or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Callaway’s public disclosures.
