Dividend Declared

On Tuesday, July 2, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share to our shareholders. The dividend in the amount of approximately $1.2 million will be distributed on Monday, August 5, 2024, for shareholders of record as of Monday, July 29, 2024. Our Board of Directors has determined to discontinue the Company’s quarterly cash dividend after the dividend distribution on August 5, 2024, and reallocate these funds to our capital allocation strategy for investing in growth initiatives that are intended to generate long-term shareholder value.

Pro-ficiency Acquisition

On June 11, 2024, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, by and among the Company, Pro-ficiency Holdings, Inc. (“Pro-ficiency”), each of the stockholders of Pro-ficiency (collectively, the “Sellers”) and WRYP Stockholders Services, LLC, solely in its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at closing on June 11, 2024 (the “Closing”), the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Pro-ficiency (the “Acquisition”) from the Sellers for an aggregate purchase price of $100 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments for net working capital, closing cash, indebtedness, and transaction expenses (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). An aggregate of $1 million of the Purchase Price was placed in escrow to fund payment obligations of the Sellers with respect to post-Closing Purchase Price adjustments and post-Closing indemnification obligations of the Sellers, and another portion of the Purchase Price was deposited into an account to reimburse the Seller Representative for any fees and expenses incurred by the Seller Representative in performing its duties under the Purchase Agreement as the representative of the Sellers. As a result of the Acquisition, at Closing, Pro-ficiency became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Purchase Agreement contains standard representations, warranties and covenants and other terms customary in similar transactions. Subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers have agreed to indemnify the Company and its affiliates for losses resulting from breaches of representations, warranties, and covenants of the Sellers and Pro-ficiency in the Purchase Agreement and for certain other specified matters. The Sellers’ indemnification obligations are subject to various limitations, including, among other things, a deductible, caps, and time limitations.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company has obtained a customary buyer’s representation and warranty insurance policy (the “R&W Insurance Policy”) providing for up to $10 million in coverage in the case of breaches of representations and warranties of the Sellers and Pro-ficiency contained in the Purchase Agreement, subject to certain exclusions and an initial $0.5 million retention. The Company, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, each bore one-half of the cost of obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy.

In consideration for their receipt of the Purchase Price, at Closing, certain of the Sellers entered into restrictive covenant agreements providing for certain customary restrictive covenants, including customary non-competition, non-solicitation, no-hire, and non-disparagement covenants for a period of three years following Closing and customary confidentiality covenants.
