1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 21, 2018, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (“CPI”) for the sale of Welding Metallurgy, for a purchase price of $9,000,000, subject to a working capital adjustment. The SPA also provides for contingent payments of up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 if Welding Metallurgy enters into long-term supply agreement with two specified customers, which contingent payments are subject to reduction if the specified agreements are entered into after May 31 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The sale is subject to certain conditions, including CPI obtaining financing and requires an escrow deposit of $2,000,000 to cover the working capital adjustment and our obligation to indemnify CPI against damages arising out of the breach of our representations and warranties and obligations under the SPA. It is anticipated that the sale will close during the second quarter.
