Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement;
On November 10, 2004, Flowserve US, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Flowserve Corporation (the Company), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (Curtiss-Wright), whereby the Company sold its Government Marine Business (GMBU), located in Phillipsburg, NJ, to Curtiss-Wright for approximately $28 million in cash. The purchase price may be subject to adjustment based on the determination of working capital of the GMBU after the closing and the net amount of any costs incurred and account receivables collected by the Company between November 1 and November 10, 2004. The Company provided customary representations and warranties as part of the terms of the sale. The Company has agreed to provide certain qualified indemnities to Curtiss-Wright for damages arising out of any breach of representation, warranty or agreement in the Asset Purchase Agreement and for liabilities not assumed by Curtiss-Wright. Subject to certain exceptions, the maximum amount of the Companys indemnification obligation is $14 million. The GMBU provides highly specialized pump technology and service for U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers.
