Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective upon the closing of the Sale Transaction (as defined in Item 2.01 below), an Assignment and Consent (the “Consent”) was entered into by and among Volt Funding Corp. (“Volt Funding”), Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (“Volt”), P/S Partner Solutions, Ltd., Volt Management Corp., VMC Consulting Corporation, Volt Canada Inc. (Volt Canada, Inc., together with VMC Consulting Corporation, the “Acquired Companies”) and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”). The Consent provides for the steps necessary, and grants the required consent, to transfer post-closing receivables of the Acquired Companies from Volt Funding, the entity which currently holds receivables under Volt’s receivables financing program, back to the Acquired Companies. The Consent also removes the Acquired Companies as originators under Volt’s existing Receivables Financing Agreement (as defined in the Consent) and terminates PNC’s security interests in the receivables of the Acquired Companies. All Call Center Receivables (as defined in the Consent), which were not sold in the Sale Transaction, will continue to be part of the collateral under the Receivables Financing Agreement through Volt Management Corp. The Consent also provides for the amendment of the Receivables Financing Agreement to reflect changes in the pool of receivables, which will no longer include any receivables in Canada.

 

The foregoing summary of the Consent does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Consent attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which Exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed in Volt’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2017, Volt, Nuco I, Ltd. (the “Seller”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Volt, Keywords International Limited (“Purchaser”) and Keywords Studios plc (“KWS”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”), dated as of October 24, 2017, pursuant to which, among other things, the Purchaser agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary and other closing conditions, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Acquired Companies from the Seller on a cash-free, debt-free basis (the “Sale Transaction”).

 

On October 27, 2017, Volt, Seller, Purchaser and KWS completed the Sale Transaction in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement for a purchase price of approximately $66.4 million (USD), subject to a customary working capital adjustment. Upon the closing of the Sale Transaction, each of the Acquired Companies became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser.
