Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and indemnification obligations of Volumetric and the Purchaser.
Completion of the Transaction (the "Closing") is expected to occur during the
fourth quarter of 2021. The Closing is contingent upon the satisfaction of
customary closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the
accuracy of each party's representations and warranties (subject to certain
exceptions) and the performance in all material respects by each of the parties
of its covenants and agreements. The Closing is not subject to a financing
condition. The Merger Agreement also includes customary termination provisions,
including if the Closing of the Transaction has not occurred on or before
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
The above description of the Merger Agreement has been included to provide information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other information about the Company, Volumetric, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of each party thereto that were made solely for the benefit of the other party. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with signing the Merger Agreement. The disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition, such representations and warranties may apply a contractual standard of materiality that is different from that generally applicable to stockholders. The representations and warranties were made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement and should not be relied upon as a disclosure of factual information relating to the parties thereto or the Company.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above with respect to the issuance of the shares of the Company's Common Stock as part of the consideration at Closing and thereafter upon the attainment of specified milestone achievements with respect to the Transaction is incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shares of the Company's Common Stock will be issued to the Sellers as a portion of the consideration at Closing and thereafter upon the attainment of specified milestone achievements with respect to the Transaction in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The issuance and sale of the shares of the Company's Common Stock to such Sellers will be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and such other applicable rules and regulations. The issuance of the shares of the Company's Common Stock will be exempt from registration because such issuance will not involve a public offering and each Seller will enter into a securityholder acknowledgement and lock-up agreement with customary private offering representations, warranties and covenants. The shares of the Company's Common Stock that will be issued to the Sellers in connection with the Transaction will be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and will be subject to certain requirements restricting their resale, including certain holding period requirements.
