On May 4, 2018, Air T, Inc. (the “ Company ”) completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets (the “ WAV Assets ”) of Worthington Aviation Parts, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“ Worthington ”), and assumed certain liabilities (the “ WAV Liabilities ”) of Worthington (the “ Transaction ”), in each case pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”), dated as of April 6, 2018, by and among the Company, Worthington, and Churchill Industries, Inc., as guarantor of Worthington’s obligations as disclosed in the Purchase Agreement.
