On February 27, 2015, (i) Perceptron CMM, LLC (the “Buyer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Perceptron, Inc. (the “Company”), consummated the acquisition of the coordinate measuring machine business of Coord3 Industries s.r.l. pursuant to an agreement dated January 29, 2015 (the “Coord3 Agreement”), among Coord3 Industries, s.r.l., an Italian company, (“Coord3”) and Angelo Muscarella (collectively, the “Coord3 Sellers”) and the Buyer, as amended by a First Amendment dated February 27, 2015 (the “Amendment”), and (ii) the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into agreements to acquire selected assets of certain affiliates of Coord3 (the “Coord3 Transaction”).

 

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

 

The aggregate purchase price paid in the Coord3 Transaction is €2.0 million, subject to certain closing adjustments. The purchase price was paid €1.7 million at or about closing and €300,000 to be paid 18 months following closing to the extent not used to cover indemnification obligations of the Coord3 Sellers. The Company funded the purchase price paid at closing from cash on hand.

 

In connection with the Coord3 Transaction, Coord3 contributed substantially all of its assets and liabilities to Coord3 s.r.l., a newly formed Italian company (“NewCo”). Buyer then acquired 100% of the share capital of NewCo. The liabilities of Coord3 contributed to NewCo include: (i) approximately €9.2 due to banks and for tax and other governmental obligations and (ii) accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.

 

The foregoing description of the Coord3 Transaction is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Coord3 Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 4, 2015 and the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 2.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Next Metrology Transactions

 

On January 29, 2015, the Company consummated the acquisition of all of the share capital of Next Metrology Software s.r.o., a Czech Republic company, (the “NMS Transactions”) pursuant to the terms of (i) a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 29, 2015, between Keith Mills and the Company, (ii) a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 29, 2015, between Angelo Muscarella and the Company, and (iii) a Share Purchase Agreement, dated January 29, 2015, between Topmes s.r.o and the Company, (collectively, the “NMS Stock Purchase Agreements”).

 

Next Metrology Software s.r.o is a developer of software for coordinate measurement machines, based in Prague, Czech Republic.

 

The aggregate purchase price paid in the NMS Transactions for all of the share capital of NMS is €2.25 million. The purchase price was paid €1.8 million at closing and €250,000 upon the closing of the Coord3 Transaction, €100,000 to be paid 12 months following closing of the NMS Transactions to the extent not used to cover indemnification obligations of Mr. Mills and €100,000 to be paid 12 months following closing of the NMS Transactions to the extent not used to cover indemnification obligations of Mr. Muscarella. The Company funded the purchase price paid at closing from cash on hand.

 

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 was paid to an affiliate of Mr. Mills upon the closing of the Coord3 Transaction.

 

The foregoing description of the NMS Transactions is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NMS Stock Purchase Agreements, which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 4, 2015.
