Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 15, 2017, Mistras Group, Inc. (“Mistras” or the “Company”) acquired West Penn Non-Destructive Testing, LLC, (formerly known as West Penn Non-Destructive Testing, Inc.) (“West Penn”), a provider of non-destructive testing with facilities in Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Georgia, primarily serving the aerospace market. The acquisition was effected through a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated December 15, 2017, with West Penn, WPT Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), the sole member of West Penn, and the owners of Holdings, Messrs. N. David Campbell (“Campbell”) and James C. DeChellis III (“DeChellis”) (Holdings, Campbell and DeChellis are collectively referred to as the “Sellers”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mistras purchased all the outstanding membership interests of West Penn for a cash payment of $74 million, subject to a post-closing adjustment to the extent West Penn’s level of working capital on the closing date is below an agreed upon amount. The Agreement contains representations, warranties, obligations and conditions customary for agreements governing transactions of a similar nature. The Agreement also contains five-year non-compete and
non-solicitation restrictions on Messrs. Campbell and DeChellis. In addition, the Sellers have agreed to indemnify Mistras against certain losses, subject to certain limitations. As part of the closing, $7.9 million of the purchase price was deposited into an escrow account, of which $7.4 million will be held in escrow for 18 months to secure payment of any indemnification claims Mistras may have against the Sellers. The remaining $500,000 is available to Mistras to help cover any closing working capital deficiency. Mr. DeChellis and West Penn entered into an employment agreement for Mr. DeChellis to continue serving as West Penn’s president.
The foregoing is a summary of the Agreement and not a complete description of its terms and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The purchase of West Penn was financed by borrowings under Mistras’ existing $250 million senior credit facility.
