Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 16, 2017 (the
“Closing Date”
), Mitek Holding B.V., a company incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (
“Mitek Holding B.V.”
), acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of ICAR Vision Systems, S.L. (
“ICAR”
), a company incorporated under the laws of Spain (the
“Acquisition”
) and each of its subsidiaries, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”
), by and among, the Company, Mitek Holding B.V. and each of the shareholders of ICAR (the “
Sellers
”). Upon completion of the Acquisition, ICAR became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Mitek Holding B.V. and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
As consideration for the Acquisition, the Company paid an aggregate purchase price of up to EUR 12,750,000, comprised of: (i) a cash payment to Sellers of EUR 3,506,250, subject to adjustments for transaction expenses, escrow amounts, indebtedness, and working capital adjustments (the
“Cash Payment”
); and (ii) the issuance to Sellers of 584,291 shares (approximately EUR 4,781,250) of the Company’s common stock (the
“Closing Shares”
), par value $0.001 per share (
“Common Stock”
). In addition to the foregoing, the Sellers may be entitled to additional cash consideration upon achievement of certain milestones as follows: (a) subject to achievement of the revenue target for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company will pay to Sellers up to an aggregate of EUR 1,275,000 (the
“Q4 Consideration”
), which amount shall be deposited (as additional funds) into the escrow fund described below, and (b) subject to achievement of certain revenue and net income targets for ICAR for the twelve-month period ending on September 30, 2018, and the twelve-month period ending on September 30, 2019, the Company will pay to Sellers up to an aggregate of EUR 3,187,500 in additional cash consideration (the
“Earnout Consideration”
); provided that if the revenue target set forth in clause (a) is not met, then the Q4 Consideration will instead be added to the Earnout Consideration payable upon (and subject to) achievement of the revenue and net income targets for the twelve-month period ending on September 30, 2018.
On the Closing Date, the Company deposited EUR 1,275,000 of the Cash Payment into an escrow fund to serve as collateral and partial security for working capital adjustments and certain indemnification rights. As described above, the Q4 Consideration, if earned, will also be deposited into the escrow fund. The escrow fund will be maintained for up to 24 months following the completion of the Acquisition or until such earlier time as the escrow fund is exhausted.
The Company used cash on hand for the Cash Payment paid on the Closing Date, and under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to guarantee the obligations of Mitek Holding B.V. thereunder.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which will be filed by amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K on or before October 20, 2017.
