On December 9, 2016, Cimpress USA Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cimpress N.V., entered into a Purchase Agreement with National Pen Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and National Pen Blocker Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited liability partnership, as sellers; and National Pen Co. LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and National Pen Blocker Corp., a Delaware corporation, as target companies. Under the Purchase Agreement, Cimpress agreed to acquire 50% of the outstanding equity interests of the target companies for a purchase price of approximately $218,000,000 payable in cash at closing, subject to adjustment based on acquired cash, debt, and working capital as of the closing date, as well as seller expenses. The Purchase Agreement provides that $9,270,000 of the purchase price will be deposited into escrow accounts to cover any shortfall from agreed levels of the target companies’ net cash, debt, and working capital at closing and to secure certain obligations of the sellers. The parties also jointly purchased a $22,000,000 buy-side representation and warranty insurance policy containing customary terms and conditions to supplement the escrow funds with respect to breaches of sellers’ representations and warranties and the pre-closing tax indemnity.

Subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including antitrust clearance in the United States and Germany, Cimpress expects the transaction to close as early as the end of December 2016.
