Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 29, 2016, Federal Signal Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (referred to collectively as the “Company”) entered into asset purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with, among the other parties thereto, Joe Johnson Equipment Inc., an Ontario corporation, and Joe Johnson Equipment (USA) Inc., a New York corporation (referred to collectively as “JJE”).
On June 3, 2016, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreements, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and operations of JJE for initial consideration of C$108 million (approximately U.S. $83 million), subject to closing and post-closing adjustments (the “Acquisition”).
As further outlined in the Purchase Agreements, there is an earn-out payment of up to C$10 million that is contingent upon the achievement of certain financial targets and objectives and a deferred payment of C$8 million that serves as security for JJE’s indemnity obligations under the Purchase Agreements. The earn-out payment, if any, and the deferred payment will be made after the third anniversary of the closing date. In connection with the closing, and as a condition thereto, the parties entered into a Joint Issues and Reverse Earn Out Payment Agreement (the “Joint Issues Agreement”) which, among other things, sets forth the agreement of the parties with respect to the deferred payment, post-closing adjustment to the initial consideration, earn-out payment and indemnification.
The foregoing description of the Joint Issues Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Joint Issues Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 (excluding exhibits, which the Company agrees to furnish supplementally to the Securities and Exchange Commission upon request). Further, the foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each Purchase Agreement, copies of which are incorporated by reference to Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 29, 2016.
Additionally, a copy of the press release issued by the Company in relation to the closing of the Acquisition is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
