Telerob Acquisition

On May 3, 2021, the Company closed its acquisition of Telerob Gesellschaft für Fernhantierungstechnik mbH, a German company based in Ostfildern (near Stuttgart), Germany (“Telerob”), including Telerob’s wholly owned subsidiary, Telerob USA, Inc. (“Telerob USA,” and collectively with Telerob, the “Telerob Group”) pursuant to its previously announced Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Unmanned Systems Investments GmbH, a German limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Germany (the “Seller”), and each of the unit holders of the Seller (collectively, the “Shareholders”), to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Seller’s wholly-owned subsidiary Telerob (the “Acquisition”). Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Telerob became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement at closing, the Company paid €37,455,000 (approximately $45,400,000) in cash to the Seller (subject to certain purchase price adjustments as set forth in the Purchase Agreement), less (a) €3,000,000 (approximately $3,636,000) to be held in escrow for breaches of the Seller’s fundamental warranties or any other of Seller’s warranties to the extent not covered by a representation and warranty insurance policy (the “RWI Policy”) obtained by the Company in support of certain indemnifications provided by the Seller; (b) transaction-related fees and costs incurred by the Seller, including change in control payments triggered by the transaction; and (c) 50% of the cost of obtaining the RWI Policy. In addition, at closing the Company paid off approximately €7,811,000 (approximately $9,468,000), of certain indebtedness of the Telerob Group, which amount was paid in combination to the Seller and the lender under an agreement between Telerob and the lender providing for a reduced payoff amount. This indebtedness was offset by cash on hand at the Telerob Group at closing. The escrow amount is to be released to the Seller, less any amounts paid or reserved, 30 months following the closing date.

In addition to the consideration paid at closing, the Seller may receive €2,000,000 (approximately $2,424,000) in additional cash consideration if specific revenue targets for the Telerob Group are achieved during the 12 month period after closing beginning on the first day of the calendar month following the closing (the “First Earnout Year”) and an additional €2,000,000 (approximately $2,424,000) in cash consideration if specific revenue targets for the Telerob Group are achieved in the 12 month period following the First Earnout Year. The Seller may also receive up to €2,000,000 (approximately $2,424,000) in additional cash consideration if specific awards and/or orders from the U.S. military are achieved prior to the end of a 36-month post-closing period.
