Item 2.01
 
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

As previously reported, 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 “PSA”), 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”). 

On November 18, 2016, pursuant to the terms of the PSA, the Seller completed the sale of the Property to the Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $5,750,000 including a $120,000 holdback held subject to a holdback of funds agreement. As part of the transaction, a Lease Agreement dated as of November 18, 2016 was entered into between the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Lease, Seller is leasing the Property for an initial term of 15 years, with two renewal options of five years each. The initial base annual rental is approximately $474,000 and is subject to an annual increase equal to the lesser of two percent or 1.25 times the change in the Consumer Price Index. Late payments incur a charge of 5% and bear interest at a rate of 18% or the highest rate permitted by law. If an event of default occurs under the terms of the Lease, among other things, all rental amounts accelerate and become due and owing, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, the Company entered into a separate payment and performance guaranty with the Purchaser with respect to the Lease.

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 described above.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the PSA and the Lease intended to be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.
