Item 8.01.                                        Other Events.

 

On June 26, 2015, NBTY, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced disposition of certain production assets, raw materials, packaging, labeling, in process products, component inventories and contracts (the “Transferred Assets”) associated with the Company’s nutritional powder manufacturing operations to Nellson Nutraceutical, LLC (“Nellson”). The purchase price for the Transferred Assets was approximately $24.0 million, subject to post-closing adjustment.

 

Both the Company and Nellson have agreed, following the closing of the transaction, to indemnify the other party for losses arising from certain breaches of the asset purchase agreement (as amended) for the transaction and for certain other liabilities, subject to certain limitations.

 

In connection with the transaction, the Company previously entered into a supply agreement with Nellson, pursuant to which the Company will purchase from Nellson the nutritional powder products it formerly manufactured using the Transferred Assets.

 

The Company also previously entered into (i) a bar asset purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell certain production assets, raw materials, packaging, labeling, in process products and component inventories (the “Bar Transferred Assets”) associated with the Company’s nutritional bar manufacturing operations to Nellson and (ii) a supply agreement with Nellson, pursuant to which the Company will purchase from Nellson the nutritional bar products it formerly manufactured using the Bar Transferred Assets. The closing of the sale of the Bar Transferred Assets is expected to occur during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter.
