Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 1, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), Carrier Enterprise, LLC (“CE”), a joint venture between Watsco, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and Carrier Corporation, acquired the HVAC distribution business (the “Business”) of Peirce-Phelps, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), pursuant to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain of the liabilities of the Business under a previously announced purchase agreement dated as of July 17, 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Business was $85.0 million, minus certain average revolving indebtedness, determined as of the Closing Date. Approximately $10.0 million of the net purchase price payable to the Seller was paid in cash, and the balance was paid by delivery of an aggregate of 372,543 shares (the “Issued Shares”) of the Company’s Common stock, par value $0.50 per share (“Common Stock”). The number of Issued Shares was determined on the Closing Date based upon the final calculation of the average revolving indebtedness for the twelve-month period immediately preceding one business day prior to the Closing Date and the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date. Of the Issued Shares, 24,960 shares are subject to a contractual restriction that generally prohibits the sale or other transfer of such shares by the Seller for a period of two-years immediately following the Closing Date.

The Issued Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Company offered the Issued Shares in reliance upon the exemptions from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Seller represented to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that it was acquiring the Issued Shares for investment and not with a view to distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. In accordance with the Company’s obligations under a registration rights agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Seller on August 1, 2019, the Company has agreed to register the resale of the Issued Shares under the Company’s currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-228269).
