Item 2.01 - Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On January 5, 2009, PCTEL, Inc. ("PCTEL") acquired all of the outstanding
share capital of Wi-Sys Communications Inc., a privately owned Canadian company
("Wi-Sys"), pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated January 5, 2009 among
PCTEL, Gyles Panther and Linda Panther, the holders of the outstanding share
capital of Wi-Sys (the "Acquisition Agreement"). Wi-Sys is based in Ottawa,
Canada and manufactures products for GPS, terrestrial and satellite
communication systems, including programmable GPS receivers and high performance
antennas.
PCTEL paid cash consideration of U.S. $2.1 million dollars at the close of
the transaction, of which approximately $350,000 was used to discharge
outstanding debt liabilities. The cash consideration paid in connection with the
acquisition was provided from PCTEL's existing cash. The Acquisition Agreement
contains customary terms, representations and warranties as well as covenants of
each of the parties, including a third party escrow arrangement for the benefit
of PCTEL to satisfy the indemnification obligations of the selling shareholders
for a six (6) month period following the closing.
The Acquisition Agreement also provides for additional cash consideration or
a reduction of cash consideration based on the closing balance sheet at
December 31, 2008 as compared to historical balance sheet net assets excluding
cash and debt. Management does not expect the amount of the adjustment in either
direction to be material to PCTEL.
Wi-Sys revenue for calendar 2008 is approximately $2.2 million. The company
has one location in Ottawa, Canada. They have 15 employees all of whom will be
retained by Wi-Sys. The company leases a single facility, which runs through
September 2009. PCTEL intends on fully integrating Wi-Sys into its antenna
product operations during 2009.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified by the
Acquisition Agreement which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is
incorporated by reference.
A copy of the press release of PCTEL dated January 5, 2009 announcing the
acquisition is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
