Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Completion of Acquisitio
Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement
On July 9, 2009, Chambers and Tandy entered into an Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Amended Purchase Agreement") which amended and restated the Original Purchase Agreement. The Amended Purchase Agreement provided for the additional sale of Chambers' Wrangler brand business together with the private label business. Chambers conducted the Wrangler business under a License Agreement dated January 1, 2007 between Chambers and Wrangler pursuant to which Chambers had the right to sell Wrangler branded products to the mass market (the "Mass License") and a License Agreement dated January 1, 2008 between Chambers and Wrangler pursuant to which Chambers had the right to sell to the western store market (the "Western License").
On July 9, 2009, the transactions contemplated by the Amended Purchase Agreement were closed and in accordance therewith Chambers sold to Tandy substantially all of its assets (excluding, among other assets, accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents). Also Tandy assumed all of Chambers obligations arising after the closing under vendor and customer purchase orders, Chambers' Maquiladora Agreement and certain leases.
Pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement, in partial payment of the purchase price, Tandy paid to Chambers at the closing approximately $3.5 million in immediately available funds, including approximately $2.6 million for inventory. During the first 30 days after closing, Tandy has the right to audit the cost component of the inventory payment. As additional purchase price consideration, during the first 12 months after the closing Tandy is obligated to pay Chambers on a monthly basis 21.5% of the net revenue that Tandy recognizes from sales during this period of Chambers former products. These generally include private label products previously sold by Chambers, Chambers trademark branded products and Wrangler branded products to the mass merchandise market and the western market. Tandy is obligated to pay Chambers minimum earn-out payments that in the aggregate are not less than $2.0 million.
Concurrently with the closing of the Chambers asset sale, Chambers, Tandy and Wrangler entered into an Amendment, Assignment and Assumption of License Agreement pursuant to which Chambers assigned to Tandy all of its rights and Tandy assumed all of Chambers remaining obligations (other than the remaining quarterly royalty obligations due Wrangler which continues to be Chambers' responsibility except in the case of a default on the license by Tandy) under the Mass License (which was amended to extend through and including June 30, 2010). Also, the same parties entered into an Amendment, Assignment and Assumption of License Agreement pursuant to which Chambers assigned to Tandy all of its rights and Tandy assumed all of Chambers remaining obligations under the Western License
The Amended Purchase Agreement contains limited representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification. At the closing, Phoenix Footwear executed and delivered its Guaranty dated July 9, 2008 guaranteeing Chambers post-closing obligations under the Amended Purchase Agreement.
