Concurrent Computer Corporation (NASDAQ:CCUR) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive AgreementITEM 1.01.
Escrow Agreement; Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement
On December 15, 2017, Concurrent Computer Corporation (the “Company”) and Vecima Networks Inc. (“Vecima” or the “Purchaser”) entered into an Escrow Agreement and Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement. Each agreement was executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company and Vecima on October 13, 2017 to which, among other things, the Company will sell and transfer all of the Company’s assets and certain liabilities primarily related to the Company’s “content delivery” business to the Purchaser for a purchase price of $29 million (subject to a net working capital adjustment) (the “Asset Sale”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 16, 2017.
Under the Escrow Agreement, the full preliminary cash purchase price amount to be paid to the Company in connection with the Asset Sale will be delivered by Vecima to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent will hold the preliminary cash purchase price amount in escrow in a segregated account from December 15, 2017 until December 31, 2017. The Company and Purchaser have agreed that the Closing Date of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement will be December 31, 2017. Under the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the preliminary cash purchase price amount will be deemed to be immediately released to and vest in the Company free and clear of any claim of the Purchaser on December 31, 2017 and will be delivered by the Escrow Agent to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. On December 31, 2017, the Asset Sale will be deemed consummated and the effective date of the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement will occur.
Under the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the $1.45 million escrow amount will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent with respect to the Company’s indemnification obligations to the Purchaser under the Asset Purchase Agreement, which amount will be released to the Company on or before December 31, 2018 (less any portion of the escrow used to make indemnification or purchase price adjustment payments to the Purchaser).
Under the terms of the Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, the Company agrees that for a period of three years following the closing of the Asset Sale, it will not (i) directly or indirectly, alone or in association with any other person, own, manage, operate, control, participate in, invest in, perform services for, or otherwise carry on or engage in any business focused on the development, marketing, and supporting of software applications and solutions for video content delivery and storage technologies (a “Content Delivery Business”) anywhere in the world, (ii) without the written consent of the Purchaser, have any direct or indirect interest in any person that engages in any Content Delivery Business or competes with the Content Delivery Business of the Seller, as conducted as of the date of the closing of the transactions under the Asset Purchase Agreement, or (iii) directly or indirectly, solicit or recruit any employees being transferred as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement or to encourage any such employee to terminate his or her employment with the Purchaser.
