On March 7, 2020, the company, completed the sale (the “Transaction”) of its indirect subsidiary, Dynamic Controls, a New Zealand incorporated unlimited company (“Dynamic Controls”), to Allied Motion Christchurch Limited, a New Zealand limited company (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement among the company, Invacare Holdings New Zealand, a New Zealand incorporated unlimited company, and the Purchaser, dated March 6, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Dynamic Controls is a producer of electronic control systems for powered medical mobility devices, including systems incorporating the LiNX™ technology platform. Dynamic Controls was a component of the All Other Segment.
Dynamic Controls is a supplier of power mobility products and respiratory components to the company as well as supplying power mobility products to external customers. Sales in 2020 through the date of disposition were $5,331,000, including intercompany sales of $2,532,000, compared to sales for the full year of 2019 of $30,261,000, including intercompany sales of $13,087,000. Income before income taxes was approximately $445,000 in 2020, through the date of disposition, compared to $853,000 in 2019, inclusive of intercompany profits on sales to the company.
The transaction was the result of considering options for the products sold by Dynamic Controls which resulted in selling the business to a third-party which can provide access to further technological innovations to further differentiate the company’s power mobility products.
The gross proceeds from the Transaction were $14,563,000, net of taxes and expenses. The company realized a pre-tax gain of $9,790,000 and recorded expenses related to the sale of the business totaling $2,150,000, of which $1,746,000 have been paid as of June 30, 2020.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary indemnification obligations of each party with respect to breaches of their respective representations, warranties and covenants, and certain other specified matters, which are subject to certain exceptions, terms and limitations described further in the Purchase Agreement.

At the closing of the Transaction, the parties entered into a supply agreement pursuant to which Dynamic Controls will supply certain electronic components as required by the company for a five-year period following the Transaction, including ongoing supply and support of the LiNX™ electronic control system with informatics technology, continued contract manufacturing of certain electronic components for the company’s respiratory products and
continued infrastructure and applications support for the informatics solution for the company’s respiratory products. The estimated continued inflows and outflows following the disposal with the Purchaser are not expected to be material to the company.
