Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Reference is made to the description of the Purchase Agreement under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”), which description is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 2.01Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On December 16, 2022, Interlink Electronics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Interlink” or the “Company”), acquired all of the assets of SPEC Sensors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SPEC”), and KWJ Engineering, Inc., a California corporation (“KWJ”) (collectively, “SPEC/KWJ”), two industry-leading designers and manufacturers of gas, air and environmental quality sensors, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2022 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, SPEC/KWJ and the equity holders of SPEC and KWJ (the “Transaction”). The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including non-competition covenants.

 

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for both companies’ assets is $2,269,000, of which $1,519,000 was paid at closing, $375,000 was paid into escrow subject to a 90-day purchase price adjustment process, and $375,000 was paid into escrow to be available to satisfy claims, if any, made by the Company for breaches of representations and warranties by SPEC/KWJ. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the extent if any to which the combined companies’ net working capital at closing is more or less than $1,350,000.

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction 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 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The representations, warranties, and covenants made by the parties in the Purchase Agreement: (a) were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement; (b) are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosure schedules; (c) may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing matters as facts; and (d) are subject to the standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that may differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on any representations, warranties, or covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of Interlink, SPEC/KWJ, the members of SPEC, the shareholders of KWJ, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Information concerning the subject matter of any such representations, warranties, and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, investors should read the representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement not in isolation, but only in conjunction with the other information about the Company that it includes in reports, statements, and other filings it makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Item 7.01Regulation F-D Disclosure.

The information in such press release shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
