Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously reported, on October 2, 2014, Malibu Boats, Inc. (the “Company”) and its indirect subsidiary, Malibu Australian Acquisition Corp. (the “Acquisition Sub”), entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Malibu Boats Pty Ltd. (the “Licensee”), the Company’s licensee in Australia, from Xavier Stuart West (“West”), pursuant to a Share Sale Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2014 (the “Sale Agreement”), by and among the Company, Acquisition Sub, West and the Licensee (the “Acquisition”). The Licensee has been the Company’s exclusive licensee in Australia since 1995, and had the exclusive right to manufacture and distribute Malibu and Axis products and spare parts in Australia and New Zealand.
On October 23, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Malibu Boats Pty Ltd. and paid a purchase price of $16.2 million, consisting of $13.3 million in cash and 170,889 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, based on the average closing price of shares of the Class A Common Stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to, but not including, the closing date of the acquisition (the “Scrip Consideration”). During a two year period following the closing of the Acquisition, West may not transfer or dispose of 71.43% of the Scrip Consideration. Any transfers or disposals of any portion of the Scrip Consideration is subject to applicable U.S. securities law. The purchase price was determined as a result of an arms’ length negotiation among the parties.
As previously disclosed, the Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition with additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
The foregoing description of the Sale Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sale Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 3, 2014 and is incorporated herein by reference. Certain schedules and annexures to the Sale Agreement have been omitted pursuant to Item 601(b)(2) of Regulation S-K. The Company agrees to furnish supplementally to the SEC a copy of any omitted schedule or annexure upon request.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On October 23, 2014, in connection with the completion of the Acquisition, the Company issued 170,889 shares of Class A Common Stock to West comprising the Scrip Consideration described under Item 2.01 above. The issuance of Class A Common Stock in the Acquisition was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These shares were issued in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, in reliance on the exemptions set forth in Regulation S and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The information set forth above under Item 2.01 is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety in this Item 3.02.
