Repurchase of Common Stock
 
On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Sardar Biglari, Biglari Capital Corp. and The Lion Fund II, L.P. (collectively, the “Biglari Group”), pursuant to which the Company purchased 329,738 shares of common stock, par value $0.25 (the “Common Stock”), of the Company for $24.01 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”), resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $7,917,000. The Per Share Purchase Price is equal, and was determined by reference, to the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days preceding the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, each party to the Securities Purchase Agreement has released each other party to the Securities Purchase Agreement from all claims that the releasing party has, had or may have against the released party that relate to the investment by The Lion Fund II, L.P. in the Company. The Lion Fund II, L.P. also withdrew its request received by the Company on June 8, 2016 to inspect certain of the Company’s records.
 
Acquisition of Assets of Contrail Aviation Support
 
On July 18, 2016, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) between Contrail Aviation Support, LLC (“Contrail Aviation”), a North Carolina limited liability company and a subsidiary of the Company, and Contrail Aviation Support, Inc. ( the “Seller”) and Joseph Kuhn, the sole shareholder of the Seller, Contrail Aviation completed the purchase of all of the assets owned, used or usable by the Seller, other than cash, equity in the Seller’s IC-DISC subsidiary and certain other specified excluded assets. Prior to the asset sale, the Seller, based in Verona, Wisconsin, engaged in the business of acquiring surplus commercial jet engines or components and supplying surplus and aftermarket commercial jet engine components. In connection with the acquisition, Contrail Aviation offered employment to all of the Seller’s employees and Mr. Kuhn was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Contrail Aviation. Following the acquisition, Contrail Aviation comprises an additional business segment—the aircraft engine aftermarket and surplus parts segment—of the Company’s operations.
 
The consideration paid by Contrail Aviation for the acquired assets was (i) $4,937,500 in cash, which amount is subject to adjustment based on the Seller’s Net Working Capital (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) as of date of closing of the acquisition and of which $300,000 is held in an escrow account to fund indemnification payments to Contrail Aviation under the Asset Purchase Agreement and (ii) equity membership units in Contrail Aviation representing 21% of the total equity membership units in Contrail Aviation. In addition, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Contrail Aviation has agreed to pay as additional deferred consideration up to a maximum of $1,500,000 per year and $3,000,000 in the aggregate (collectively, the “Earnout Payments” and each, an “Earnout Payment”), calculated as follows:
 
(i) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) in any Earnout Period (as defined below) less than $1,500,000, no Earnout Payment will be payable with respect to such Earnout Period;
 
(ii) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of $1,500,000, but less than $2,000,000, the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be an amount equal to the product of (x) the EBITDA generated with respect to such Earnout Period minus $1,500,000, and (y) two (2);
 
(iii) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of $2,000,000, but less than $4,000,000, the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be equal to $1,000,000;
 
(iv) if Contrail Aviation generates EBITDA in any Earnout Period equal to or in excess of $4,000,000, the Earnout Payment for each such Earnout Period will be equal to $1,500,000; and
 
(v) if, following the fifth Earnout Period, Contrail Aviation has generated EBITDA equal to or in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate during all Earnout Periods, but the Seller has received or is owed less than $3,000,000 in aggregate Earnout Payments pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv), above, Contrail Aviation will make an additional Earnout Payment to the Seller in an amount equal to the difference between $3,000,000 and the aggregate Earnout Payments already received or payable pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv), above.
 
As used in the Asset Purchase Agreement, “Earnout Period” means each of the first five twelve-full-calendar-month periods following the closing of the acquisition.
 
Upon the consummation of the asset sale and in connection with the transfer of equity membership units of Contrail Aviation to the Seller, on July 18, 2016 the Company, Contrail Aviation and the Seller entered into an Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) providing for the governance of and the terms of membership interests in Contrail Aviation and including put and call options permitting, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the asset sale closing date, Contrail Aviation at its election to purchase from the Seller, and permitting the Seller at its election to require Contrail Aviation to purchase from the Seller, all of the Seller’s equity membership interests Contrail Aviation at price to be agreed upon, or failing such an agreement to be determined pursuant to third-party appraisals in a process specified in the Operating Agreement.
 
The Company will account for the above described transaction as a business combination beginning with its second fiscal 2017 quarter.
