Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
As
previously reported, on March 1, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), Tecnoglass Inc. (the “Company”) entered
into and consummated a purchase agreement (“Agreement”) with Giovanni Monti (the “Seller”), the owner
of 100% of the outstanding shares of Giovanni Monti and Partners Consulting and Glazing Contractors (“GM&P”).
GM&P is a consulting and glazing contracting company located in Miami, Florida. GM&P has over 15 years of experience in
the design and installation of various building enclosure systems such as curtain window walls. GM&P has had a long-standing
commercial relationship with the Company, working alongside it in different projects within the U.S, by providing engineering
and installation services to those projects.
Pursuant
to the Agreement, the Company acquired all of the shares of GM&P from the Seller for a purchase price of US$35 million. An
initial US$6 million of the purchase price was payable and paid in cash within 60 days from the Effective Date. The remaining
US$29 million of the purchase price was payable on or before September 1, 2017 (six months from the Effective Date), which is
payable in cash, ordinary shares of the Company or a combination of both, at the Company´s sole option.
On
August 22, 2017, the parties agreed to extend the timing of the payment of the remaining US$29 million of the purchase price until
on or before May 15, 2018. All other terms of the Agreement remain in full force and effect.
On
August 29, 2017, the Company announced the timing for the payment of its declared regular quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share
for the third quarter of 2017. The dividend will be payable on October 27, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business
on September 29, 2017. The dividend will be paid in cash or ordinary shares, to be chosen at the option of holders of ordinary
shares during an election period beginning October 2, 2017 and lasting until 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time on October 20, 2017. The value
of the ordinary shares to be used to calculate the number of shares to be issued with respect to that portion of the dividend
payable in ordinary shares shall be the average of the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on NASDAQ during the
ten business days period from October 9, 2017 through October 20, 2017. If no choice is made during this election period, the
dividend for this election period will be paid in ordinary shares of the Company.
