Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies

 

On July 17, 2015, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement, agreeing to acquire all of the issued share capital of FCI Asia Pte Ltd (“FCI”) for an aggregate purchase price of $1,275 in cash, subject to a closing adjustment.  The acquisition is expected to close by the end of 2015, subject to certain regulatory consents and approvals.  The Company expects to finance the acquisition through a combination of cash and debt.  FCI is headquartered in Singapore and is a global leader in interconnect solutions for the telecom, datacom, wireless communications and industrial markets.

 

The Company has been named as defendant in several legal actions in which various amounts are claimed arising from normal business activities.  Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be precisely determined, in the opinion of management, such matters are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Certain operations of the Company are subject to environmental laws and regulations which govern the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, as well as the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes.  The Company believes that its operations are currently in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that the costs of continuing compliance will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
