Item 1.01 | Entry into a material definitive agreement |
Stock Purchase Agreement
On October 12, 2010 Natus Medical Incorporated (Natus, the Company) executed a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and the shareholders of Medix Industrial y Commercial S.A., an Argentine International Private Company (Medix) providing for the Companys acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Medix for a cash price paid at closing of $14 million.
The Stock Purchase Agreement includes an earnout provision that provides for the payment of up to $5 million of additional cash consideration if certain post-acquisition sales targets are met. The potential earnout payments consist of two $2.0 million earnout payments depending upon sales for the two fiscal years ending October 31, 2011 and 2012, and one potential $1.0 million supplemental earnout payment depending on sales for the single fiscal year ending October 31, 2011.
Medix, based in Argentina, manufactures incubators for use in hospital nurseries and neonatal intensive care units, transport incubators for use in ambulances and other emergency vehicles, infant warmers, and LED based phototherapy devices, primarily in Latin American.
Financing for the transaction was provided by Natus existing cash balances, and based on cash and short-term investments held at June 30, 2010, Natus retains cash of approximately $25 million before giving any effect to potential earnout payments in the transaction.
