Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 16, 2013, Wright Medical Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Upperside SA, a French société anonyme (“Upperside”), Naxicap Rendement 2018, a French société par actions simplifiée (“Naxicap”), and Banque Populaire Developpement, a French société anonyme (collectively, the “Sellers”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Biotech International, a French société par actions simplifiée (“Biotech”). The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The initial purchase price for the transaction is $75 million, consisting of $55 million payable in cash, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and the issuance of 742,115 unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock having a value of $20 million. In addition, the Company will also pay up to $5 million upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones. The receipt of the Company’s unregistered common stock by the Sellers is subject to customary “lock-up” restrictions whereby the Sellers may not transfer the stock for a period of one year from the date of closing.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. The closing of the transaction is subject to various conditions, including the transfer of Biotech’s dental business, the repayment of certain existing loans, and the entry into certain transition services agreements between the Company and affiliates of Biotech.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
