Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On November 13, 2019, Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. (“the Company”) signed a definitive agreement to acquire Holzworth Instrumentation Inc. (“Holzworth”) a Boulder, Colorado based provider of specialty phase noise analyzers and signal generators. For the 9-month period (unaudited) ended September 30, 2019, Holzworth’s revenues were approximately $4.4 million.

 

Holzworth instruments are used by government labs, the semiconductor industry, and network equipment providers, among others, in research and automated test environments. The Company expects to close this acquisition in the months ahead.

 

The definitive agreement provides for an initial purchase price for Holzworth of $8.0 million of cash payable at closing, $1.5 million in deferred cash payments, and $500,000 of Wireless Telecom Group Inc. common stock based on the 90-day volume weighted average share price of $1.44 per share, which shares are subject to a 36-month lock-up provision. The two deferred purchase price payments are $750,000 each ($1.5 million in total), and may be reduced if Holzworth’s earnings before interest expense, tax expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (“EBITDA”), as defined in the acquisition agreement, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 or 2020 is less than $1.25 million. In addition, the Company has agreed to make two earnout payments of up to a maximum of $7.0 million in total, the amount of which will be determined based on Holzworth’s EBITDA, as defined in the acquisition agreement, above $1.25 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. Finally, the Company and Holzworth have agreed to a final purchase price adjustment based on Holzworth’s closing date working capital, as defined in the acquisition agreement.

 

The transaction is conditioned upon the Company obtaining anticipated proceeds from a debt financing in an amount sufficient to pay the total closing cash consideration of the acquisition of $8.0 million. The Company is engaged in a process to obtain such financing.

 

The first deferred purchase price payment of $750,000 is due in three equal quarterly installments on March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020. The second deferred purchase price payment of $750,000 is payable on March 31, 2021. The first earnout payment is due no later than March 31, 2021 and will be an amount equal to two times the excess Holzworth EBITDA, as defined, above $1.25 million as calculated for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2020. The second earnout payment is due no later than March 31, 2022 and will be an amount equal to two times the excess Holzworth EBITDA, as defined, above $1.25 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021 less the first earnout payment.

 

The Holzworth acquisition agreement includes customary representations and warranties and indemnifications of both the Company and Holzworth and is subject to customary closing conditions in addition to the condition of the Company obtaining debt financing sufficient to pay the cash consideration.
