Arcturus Acquisition

On February 19, 2021, the Company closed its acquisition of Arcturus UAV, Inc., a California corporation (“Arcturus UAV”) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Arcturus Purchase Agreement”) with Arcturus UAV and each of the shareholders and other equity interest holders of Arcturus UAV (collectively, the “Arcturus Sellers”), to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Arcturus UAV (the “Arcturus Acquisition”). Arcturus UAV, headquartered in Petaluma, California, designs, engineers, tools, and manufactures unmanned aerial and aircraft systems including airborne platforms, payloads and payload integration, ground control systems, and ground support equipment and other items and services related generally to unmanned aircraft systems. Arcturus UAV became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as of February 19, 2021.

Pursuant to the Arcturus Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Arcturus Acquisition, the Company paid approximately $431,000,000 (subject to certain customary adjustments and escrow arrangements set forth in the Arcturus Purchase Agreement), financed with a combination of approximately $159,000,000 of cash-on-hand, $200,000,000 of financing pursuant to the Term Loan Facility, described below, and the issuance of approximately $72,000,000 of unregistered, restricted shares of common stock. As specified in the Arcturus Purchase agreement, the number of shares issued was determined based on a value of $50,000,000 and a calculated average price as of the last business day prior to execution of the Arcturus Purchase Agreement.

The final cash consideration is subject to certain customary adjustments, including for net working capital, cash, debt and unpaid transaction expenses (including change in control related payments triggered by the transaction) of Arcturus UAV at the Arcturus Closing, less $6,500,000 to be held in escrow to address final purchase price adjustments post-Arcturus Closing, if any (the “Adjustment Escrow”), and $1,822,500 to be held in escrow to address Arcturus UAV’s and/or the Sellers’ indemnification obligations (the “Indemnification Escrow”). The Adjustment Escrow, less any negative post-Closing adjustment to the cash consideration paid at Closing, is to be released to the Arcturus Sellers upon completion of the post-Arcturus Closing purchase price adjustment process; the Indemnification Escrow, less any amounts paid or reserved, is to be released to the Arcturus Sellers 12 months following the Arcturus Closing. To further address potential breaches of Arcturus UAV’s and the Sellers’ representations and warranties beyond the application of the Indemnification Escrow, the Company also obtained representation and warranty insurance policies providing $40,000,000 in coverage, subject to customary terms, exclusions and retention amounts.

Due to the timing of the close of the acquisition, the purchase accounting for the business combination is incomplete at the time of this filing. As a result, the Company is unable to provide the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, pre-acquisition contingencies and goodwill. In addition, the Company is unable to provide pro forma revenues and earnings of the combined entity. All required disclosures will be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year quarter ending April 30, 2021.

Credit Facilities

In connection with the consummation of the Arcturus Acquisition on February 19, 2021, the Company, as borrower, and Arcturus UAV, as guarantor, entered into a Credit Agreement with certain lenders, letter of credit issuers, Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent and the swingline lender, and BofA Securities, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and U.S. Bank National Association, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Credit Agreement and its associated Security and Pledge Agreement set forth the terms and conditions for (i) a five-year $100 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $10 million sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit (the “Revolving Facility”), and (ii) a five-year amortized $200 million term A loan (the “Term Loan Facility”, and together with the Revolving Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). Certain existing letters of credit issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank were reserved for under the Revolving Facility at closing and remain outstanding under the terms thereof. Upon execution of the Credit Agreement, the Company drew the full principal of the Term Loan Facility for use in the acquisition of Arcturus UAV. The Term Loan Facility requires payment of 5% of the outstanding obligations in each of the first four loan years, with the remaining 80.0% payable in loan year five, consisting of three quarterly payments of 1.25% each, with the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility due and payable on the final maturity date. Proceeds from the Term Loan Facility were used in part to finance a portion of the cash consideration for the Arcturus Acquisition. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Credit Facilities provide the Company with a choice of interest rates between (a) LIBOR (with a 0% floor) plus the Applicable Margin; or (b) Base Rate (defined as the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus one-half percent (0.50%), (b) the Bank of America prime rate, and (c) the one (1) month LIBOR plus one percent (1.00%)) plus the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin is based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and whether the Company elects LIBOR (ranging from 1.50 - 2.25%) or Base Rate (ranging from 0.50 - 1.25%). The Company is also responsible for certain commitment fees from 0.20-0.35% depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, and administrative agent expenses incurred in relation to the Credit Facilities. In the event of a default, an additional 2% default interest rate would apply.

Any borrowing under the Credit Agreement may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty other than customary breakage costs, and any amounts repaid under the Revolving Facility may be reborrowed. Mandatory prepayments are required under the revolving loans when borrowings and letter of credit usage exceed the aggregate revolving commitments of all lenders. Mandatory prepayments are also required in connection with the disposition of assets to the extent not reinvested and unpermitted debt transactions.

In support of its obligations pursuant to the Credit Facilities, the Company has granted security interests in substantially all of the personal property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including a pledge of the equity interests in its subsidiaries (limited to 65% of outstanding equity interests in the case of foreign subsidiaries), and the proceeds thereof, with customary exclusions and exceptions. The Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries, including Arcturus UAV (as of the closing of its acquisition by the Company), will be guarantors for the Credit Facilities.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including certain restrictions on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to incur any additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness of others, to create liens on properties or assets, or to enter into certain asset and stock-based transactions. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes certain financial maintenance covenants, requiring that (x) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall not be more than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter and (y) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall not be less than 1.25 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default, which include failure to make payments when due thereunder, the material inaccuracy of representations or warranties, failure to observe or perform certain covenants, cross-defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency-related events, certain judgments, certain ERISA-related events, invalidity of loan documents, or a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default, the Lenders may cease making future loans under the Credit Agreement and may declare all amounts owing under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

Intelligent Systems Group Acquisition

On February 23, 2021, the Company purchased certain assets of, and assumed certain liabilities of, the Intelligent Systems Group business segment (“ISG”) of Progeny Systems Corporation (the “ISG Acquisition”), a Virginia corporation (the “ISG Seller”), pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ISG Purchase Agreement”) of the same date by and among the Company, Seller and the sole shareholder of Seller (the “Beneficial Owner”). ISG is engaged in development of artificial intelligence-enabled computer vision, machine learning and perceptive autonomy technologies and provides related services to United States government customers.

In connection with the ISG Acquisition, the Company (i) paid a base purchase price of $30,000,000 in cash at closing and (ii) may pay additional cash consideration of up to $6,000,000 based on the achievement of certain revenue targets by ISG during the 3 years following closing, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the ISG Purchase Agreement, including certain customary adjustments.

As a condition to closing pursuant to the ISG Purchase Agreement, the Company and the ISG Seller entered into certain ancillary agreements, including a transition services agreement and two subleases pursuant to which the ISG Seller will provide the Company certain services and facilities space to accommodate the transition of ISG to the Company.

The parties to the ISG Purchase Agreement have made representations, warranties, and covenants that are customary for a transaction of this type, including, among other things, restrictions on the ISG Seller and the Beneficial Owner from engaging in certain competitive activities, as well as mutual indemnification obligations between the Company and the ISG Seller. To supplement certain indemnifications provided by the ISG Seller, the Company obtained a representation and warranty insurance policy.

Due to the timing of the close of the acquisition, the purchase accounting for the business combination is incomplete at the time of this filing. As a result, the Company is unable to provide the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, pre-acquisition contingencies and goodwill. In addition, the Company is unable to provide pro forma revenues and earnings of the combined entity. All required disclosures will be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year quarter ending April 30, 2021.

Telerob Acquisition

On December 3, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Telerob Purchase Agreement”) with Unmanned Systems Investments GmbH, a German limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Germany (the “Telerob Seller”), and each of the unit holders of the Telerob Seller (collectively, the “Shareholders”), to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Seller’s wholly-owned subsidiary, 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”). The Telerob Group develops, manufactures, sells, and services remote-controlled ground robots and transport vehicles for civil and defense applications. Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Telerob Purchase Agreement, which is anticipated in the fourth quarter, Telerob will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the Telerob Purchase Agreement, the Company will pay approximately €37,455,000 (approximately $45.4 million) in cash at the closing to the Telerob Seller, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, less (a) €3,000,000 (approximately $3.6 million) to be held in escrow for breaches of the Telerob Seller’s warranties; (b) transaction-related fees and costs incurred by the Telerob Seller; (c) 50% of the cost of obtaining the warranty insurance policy; and (d) payments to Shareholders or outside the ordinary course of business if made after September 30, 2020. In addition, at closing the Company will pay off approximately €7.8 million (approximately $9.4 million) of certain indebtedness of the Telerob Group. This indebtedness may be offset by any cash on hand at the Telerob Group at closing. The escrow amount is to be released to the Telerob Seller, less any amounts paid or reserved, 30 months following the closing date.

In addition, the Telerob Seller may receive up to a total of €6,000,000 (approximately $7.3 million) in additional cash consideration over a three year period contingent upon the achievement of three distinct milestones. The first two milestones are the achievement of specific revenue targets and the third milestone is obtaining certain contract awards from the U.S. military.

The transactions contemplated by the Telerob Purchase Agreement are subject to certain closing conditions, including: (i) clearance by the German government; (ii) the accuracy of each party’s warranties (subject to customary materiality qualifiers); (iii) each party’s compliance with its covenants and agreements contained in the Telerob Purchase Agreement (subject to customary materiality qualifiers); and (iv) other customary closing conditions.
