Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 30, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), IEC Electronics Corp-Albuquerque, a New Mexico corporation (the “Seller”), and a wholly-owned subsidiary of IEC Electronics Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Store Capital Acquisitions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), for the sale of certain property, including Seller’s manufacturing facility located at 1450 Mission Avenue, Albuquerque, New Mexico (the “Property”), for an aggregate purchase price of $5,750,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Seller is entitled to lease back the Property, subject to mutually agreeable lease terms.

Within three days of the Effective Date, Purchaser will provide a $50,000 deposit considered non-refundable 30 days from the Effective Date during which time the Purchaser may perform certain inspections with respect to the Property (the “Inspection Period”). Upon successful completion of the Inspection Period and certain other customary closing conditions, the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”), will occur within the later of five business days following the expiration of the Inspection Period or the satisfaction of certain contingencies regarding the lease-back of the Property, including agreement as to the terms and conditions of the lease for the Property.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Purchaser is entitled to a $120,000 holdback of the Purchase Price to be held subject to an escrow agreement to be finalized by Closing. In addition, Seller has agreed to pay certain transaction costs up to an aggregate of $55,000 (the “Cap”) incurred by Seller and Purchaser in connection with the transaction; Purchaser shall be responsible for transaction costs in excess of the Cap; and each party is responsible for their respective professional fees and expenses in connection with the transaction. The Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of Seller and Purchaser customary for similar transactions.

There are no material relationships between the Company or Seller and Purchaser or any of their affiliates, directors, officers or associates, other than in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
