March 2017 Hitachi Transaction
Hitachi Chemical purchased a 19.9% membership interest in PCT on March 11, 2016 (see Note 3).  On March 16, 2017, Caladrius entered into the Purchase Agreement, by and among Caladrius, PCT and Hitachi America, pursuant to which Hitachi America has agreed to acquire the 80.1% membership interest in PCT that it does not already own from Caladrius for $75.0 million in cash, subject to potential adjustment, based on PCT’s cash and outstanding indebtedness as of the closing of the Sale, and a potential future milestone payment. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at the Effective Date, Hitachi America will pay Caladrius $5.0 million Initial Payment. At the Closing, an additional $5.0 million of the Purchase Price will be deposited into an escrow account to cover potential indemnification claims of Hitachi America, if any. The Closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval of Caladrius’ stockholders, and is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2017.
As part of the Purchase Price, Hitachi will pay Caladrius the $5.0 million Milestone Payment if PCT achieves $125.0 million in Cumulative Revenue (excluding clinical service reimbursables) for the period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2018. For purposes of the Milestone, “Cumulative Revenue” will be calculated based on PCT’s revenue from all customers (including Caladrius and its subsidiaries) in accordance with the financial accounting and reporting standards set forth in the statements and pronouncements of the FASB, consistently applied.
Generally, in the event of a Change in Control of Caladrius (as defined in the 2009 Plan and the 2015 Equity Plan, and, together with the 2009 Plan, the “Equity Compensation Plans”), (a) all outstanding options and stock appreciation rights of each participant granted prior to the change in control shall be fully vested and immediately exercisable in their entirety, and (b) all unvested stock awards, restricted stock units, restricted stock, performance-based awards, and other awards shall become fully vested, including without limitation, the following: (i) the restrictions to which any shares of restricted stock granted prior to the change in control are subject shall lapse as if the applicable restriction period had ended upon such change in control, and (ii) the conditions required for vesting of any unvested performance-based awards shall be deemed to be satisfied upon such change in control. The approval of the Sale by our stockholders will result in a Change in Control under our Equity Compensation Plans. Accordingly, all outstanding unvested equity awards will be accelerated if the Sale is approved by our stockholders.
Retention Agreement with Robert A. Preti in Connection with the Sale
On March 16, 2017, Caladrius entered into a Retention and Incentive Agreement with Robert A. Preti, a former Caladrius director and a co-founder and the President of PCT, (the “Retention Agreement”). The Retention Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between Dr. Preti and Caladrius regarding the subject matter of the Retention Agreement. Among other things, the Retention Agreement provides for:
Simultaneously with the Closing, Caladrius will pay to Dr. Preti $1.375 million (the “First Retention Payment”).
As an incentive to remain employed with PCT and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause PCT to maximize its overall performance and in particular to achieve the Milestone (but not contingent upon achieving the Milestone), Dr. Preti will receive a lump-sum cash retention and incentive payment equal to $1.375 million for the period from Closing until the date one year after the date of the Closing (the “Anniversary Date”), subject to Dr. Preti’s continued employment with PCT through the Anniversary Date (the “Second Retention Payment”).
Dr. Preti will be entitled to 5% of the Milestone Payment if it is successfully earned.

All payments are contingent on Closing of the Sale.
