On November 30, 2012, Planar Systems, Inc. (the "Company") and Planar Systems Oy, a corporation organized under the laws of Finland and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Subsidiary"), entered into a Sale of Assets Agreement (the "Agreement") with Beneq Products Oy, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Finland ("Beneq"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company and Subsidiary (together, the "Sellers") agreed to sell substantially all of the assets, and assign certain liabilities, used or necessary in the Sellers' electroluminescent ("EL") display business to Beneq. The transfer of the EL-related assets and associated liabilities (the "Asset Sale") closed simultaneously with the execution of the Agreement. The purchase price for the Asset Sale was $6.5 million, including $3.9 million cash paid at closing and $2.6 million in the form of two promissory notes. The purchase price is subject to a post-closing net asset adjustment. The Agreement also includes an "earn-out" provision pursuant to which the Sellers could receive additional payments of up to $3.5 million depending upon the nature and amount of revenue generated by Beneq through its operation of the transferred assets in each of the three calendar years following the closing date. Pursuant to the Agreement, Sellers have agreed to assist in the orderly transfer of the transferred assets to Beneq by providing Beneq with certain services in the areas of sales, operations, finance and IT during the transition period. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, including an agreement by the Sellers not to engage in the electroluminescent display business for three years. The Agreement provides that the Sellers will indemnify Beneq for breaches of their representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, subject to a maximum indemnification limit equal to 50 percent of the final purchase price. The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
On November 30, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing the Asset Sale. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
