Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 28, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), Precision Aerospace Components, Inc. (the “Company” or “Precision”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Aero-Missile Components, (“Aero-Missile”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Apollo Aerospace Components LLC, an Ohio limited liability company, (“Apollo”) pursuant to which Aero-Missile sold substantially all of its assets to Apollo and Apollo assumed certain liabilities of Aero-Missile (the “Asset Sale”) for an aggregate purchase price of $10.5 million paid by Apollo to Aero-Missile (the “Base Purchase Price”). The Base Price Purchase is subject to a working capital adjustment (the “Working Capital Adjustment”) and $1.0 million being held in escrow to secure the indemnification obligations of the Company and Aero-Missile (the “Escrow Amount”).
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains standard representations and warranties and indemnification obligations. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Aero-Missile assigned all of its supply contracts and open purchase orders to Apollo. Aero-Missile assigned to Apollo its lease obligations for its Bensalem, Pennsylvania and Oxford, Alabama facilities. The Company has relocated its headquarters to 6002 Groveport Road, Groveport, Ohio 43125. In addition, Apollo offered employment to all of the Aero-Missile employees on terms identical or similar to those of their employment with Aero-Missile.
The Working Capital Adjustment will be determined ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Closing Working Capital (“Closing Working Capital”) is defined as the sum of the trade receivables, net of reserves, and inventory, net of reserves, assumed by Apollo as of the Closing Date minus any liabilities of Aero-Missile assumed by Apollo as of the Closing Date. If Closing Working Capital exceeds $7.2 million, Apollo will pay to Aero-Missile any amounts exceeding that amount. If Closing Working Capital is less than $6.9 million, Aero-Missile will pay to Apollo the difference between the Closing Working Capital and $6.9 million. Any disputes are subject to binding arbitration.
The Escrow Amount has been deposited with J.P. Morgan. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, half the Escrow Amount will be released to Aero-Missile on the first annual anniversary of the Closing Date if no indemnification provisions have been triggered. The remaining balance of the Escrow Amount will be released to Aero-Missile on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date if no indemnification provisions have been triggered.
Pursuant the Asset Purchase Agreement, both Precision and Aero-Missile agreed to sell Apollo the rights to the Precision and Aero-Missile names. Aero-Missile has changed its name to “PolyAero Inc.” Precision will have forty-five (45) days from the Closing Date to implement its name change.
Simultaneous with the Asset Sale, the Company repaid all amounts owing to C3 Capital Partners III L.P. (“C3”) owing under Note A, as defined in that Securities Purchase Agreement by and among C3 and the Company and Aero Missile and Creative Assembly Systems Inc. (“CAS” and with AMC, the “Subsidiaries”) dated January 16, 2015 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and Note B, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, including all accrued interest as of the Closing Date. The total principal amount repaid was $4 million ($0.5 million for Note A and $3.5 million for Note B) with $42,388.89 in accrued interest for the month of April. C3 agreed to waive all prepayment penalties under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Additionally on the Closing Date, the Company repurchased the 96,697 shares of common stock of the Company owned by C3 for an aggregate purchase price of $900,000.00 (the “Stock Repurchase”) or approximately $9.31 per share of common stock. Nicole Doyle, C3’s designated representative on the Company’s Board of Directors, resigned as a director of the Company immediately following the Stock Repurchase.
On the Closing Date, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to and Consent No.1 under (the “Amendment and Consent”), that Credit Agreement dated as of August 25, 2015 between Precision and Webster Business Credit Corporation (“WBCC” or “Lender”) (the “Credit Agreement”). Under the Amendment and Consent, WBCC amended the Credit Agreement and consented to the Asset Sale, the repayment of all amounts owing to C3, and the Stock Repurchase.
