Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 14, 2015, VPG Systems U.S., Inc. (the “Buyer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Stress-Tek, Inc. (“Stress-Tek”), Stress-Tek’s shareholders (the “Sellers”), and Keith Reichow, as Representative. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and subject to the conditions thereof, Buyer will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Stress-Tek at the closing under the Purchase Agreement, including the acquisition of real estate valued at $5.5 million (the “Transaction”). The Company expects to use a combination of cash on hand as well as borrowings under a third-party credit facility to pay the purchase price under the Purchase Agreement of $19.9 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments described in the Purchase Agreement. Of that amount, $2.5 million will be held in escrow to satisfy certain claims that Buyer may make against Sellers in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. Certain representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the Buyer and Sellers, rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement do not necessarily constitute the actual state of facts about Buyer and Sellers.
The Sellers’ and Buyer’s obligations to consummate the Transaction are subject to customary conditions, including, among other things, that no pending legal action exists at the time of closing that is reasonably expected to restrain, prohibit or invalidate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the continuing accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties, and the satisfaction of each party’s pre-closing covenants.
The foregoing summary description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01
On December 14, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing execution of the Purchase Agreement. A copy of such press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
