Acquisition of 51% interest in PERC Water Corporation

On October 24, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CW-Holdings, entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with PERC Water Corporation (“PERC”) and its seven shareholders (collectively, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, CW-Holdings purchased a 51% ownership interest in PERC for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.1 million in cash. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, CW-Holdings owns 51% of the outstanding capital stock of PERC, and four other individuals (the “Remaining Shareholders”), three of whom are PERC executives, own 49% of the outstanding capital stock of PERC.

CW-Holdings also acquired from the Remaining Shareholders an option to compel the Remaining Shareholders to sell, and granted to the Remaining Shareholders an option to require CW-Holdings to purchase, the Remaining Shareholders’ 49% ownership interest in PERC at a price based upon the fair market value of PERC at the time of the exercise of the option. CW-Holdings’ option is exercisable on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date and the Remaining Shareholders’ option is exercisable on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.
