EYP Acquisition

 

On April 25, 2022, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Ault Alliance has agreed to lend approximately $12 million (inclusive of existing loans) through a super-priority debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) loan to, and entered into an asset purchase agreement with, EYP, Inc. and its affiliates (“EYP”) providing for the acquisition of all of EYP’s assets for an aggregate consideration of approximately $68 million (the “Asset Purchase”). Ault Alliance will also make an offer of employment to all current employees of EYP. EYP is an integrated architecture, engineering, and design services company specializing in higher education, healthcare, government and science & technology with offices in 11 cities across the United States.

 

The asset purchase agreement constitutes a “stalking horse” bid in a sale process being conducted under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As such, Ault Alliance’s acquisition of EYP’s assets remains subject to approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, following court-approved bidding procedures, including the potential receipt of competing offers for EYP’s assets at auction. It is expected that the sale process will be completed by June 2022, and that throughout the sale process, the business will continue to operate in the ordinary course providing services to its customers. As part of the purchase, Ault Alliance will be able to include the value of its DIP loan as part of its bid at closing. Consummation of the Asset Purchase is subject to Bankruptcy Court approved bidding procedures, higher and better offers made in the auction by other potential bidders, approval of the highest bidder by the Bankruptcy Court and customary closing conditions.
