Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On March 10, 2020, Everest/Sapphire Acquisition, LLC (“Everest/Sapphire”), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Clarus Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire S.K.B. Corporation, a California corporation (“SKB”). SKB is engaged in the design and manufacture of molded polymer transport cases engineered to provide superior protection for a diverse range of equipment. SKB’s products, known as “SKB Cases,” are utilized across industries, including consumer, sports, electronics, healthcare, music, photography and industrials.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, by and among Everest/Sapphire, the Company, SKB, David Sanderson and Steven Kottman, Everest/Sapphire is to acquire SKB (the “SKB Acquisition”) for an aggregate purchase price of $85,000,000 in cash, subject to adjustment, plus an aggregate of 1,153,846 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The common stock of the Company to be issued to SKB’s shareholders at closing will be subject to a lock-up provision restricting sales for 180 days from the closing of the SKB Acquisition.

 

The Purchase Agreement includes customary (i) representations and warranties of the parties, (ii) covenants, including covenants with respect to actions taken prior to the closing (including obtaining consents) and cooperation with respect to regulatory issues, and (iii) post-closing indemnities. The Company has obtained a representation and warranty insurance policy that will provide coverage for certain representations and warranties of the Sellers and SKB contained in the Purchase Agreement, subject to a retention amount, exclusions, policy limits and certain other terms and conditions.

 

The consummation of the SKB Acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

 

The obligations of the parties to consummate the SKB Acquisition are subject to satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including (i) the absence of any law, order or other legal restriction restraining or prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the absence of any proceeding that would restrain or prohibit the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties to the Purchase Agreement (subject to customary materiality qualifications), (iv) the absence of any material adverse effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with respect to business of SKB and its subsidiary, (v) the delivery of various documents by the Buyer, SKB and the Sellers, and (vi) other customary closing conditions.

 

The Purchase Agreement also contains certain rights to terminate the Purchase Agreement prior to the Closing, including (a) by mutual consent, and (b) by either party if (i) a governmental entity or other organization takes final, non-appealable action prohibiting the SKB Acquisition or enacts any law that makes consummation of the Closing illegal or otherwise prohibited, (ii) the other party breaches the Purchase Agreement (under certain circumstances) or (iii) the Closing has not occurred on or before April 30, 2020.

 

No assurances can be given that the SKB Acquisition will be consummated.

 

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Purchase Agreement included as an exhibit is intended to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or SKB or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates; were made solely for the benefit of the parties to that agreement; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures; may not have been intended to be statements of fact, but rather, as a method of allocating contractual risk and governing the contractual rights and relationships between the parties to that agreement; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or SKB or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
