The Transaction closed on August 31, 2022.

 

 

As consideration for the Transaction, under the Purchase Agreement, Interpace received a total purchase price of approximately $7.0 million ($0.5 million of which has been deposited into escrow), subject to a potential post-closing working capital adjustment, and the assumption by the Purchaser of certain specified liabilities. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Purchaser will pay the Subsidiary an earnout of up to $2.0 million based on revenue for the period beginning September 1, 2021 and ending August 31, 2022. The Company received an earnout payment of approximately $1.0 million in September 2022 which is the fully settled amount and there will be no further earnout payments in the future.

 

The Purchase Agreement includes a one-year commitment of Interpace not to compete with the Business, recruit or hire any former employees of the Subsidiary who accept employment with the Purchaser in connection with the Transaction, or divert or attempt to divert from Purchaser any business to be performed from any of the contracts or agreements with customers as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, post-closing covenants and mutual indemnification obligations for, among other things, any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty and any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant.

 

In connection with the Transaction, on August 31, 2022, Interpace and Purchaser entered into a Shared Services Agreement (the “Shared Services Agreement”) pursuant to which Interpace agreed to provide, or cause its affiliates to provide, to the Purchaser certain services set forth in the Shared Services Agreement on a transitional basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Shared Services Agreement (the “Services”).
