MAXWELL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (NASDAQ:MXWL) Files An 8-K Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On April 28, 2017, Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (Maxwell), acquired
substantially all of the assets of Nesscap Energy, Inc.
(Nesscap), a developer and manufacturer of ultracapacitor
products for use in transportation, renewable energy, industrial
and consumer market, in exchange for the issuance of 4,146,538
shares of Maxwell common stock (the Share Consideration) and the
assumption of certain liabilities to the terms of the previously
announced Arrangement Agreement (the Arrangement Agreement),
dated as of February 28, 2017 (the Acquisition) between Maxwell
and Nesscap. The Acquisition was effected by means of a
court-approved statutory plan of arrangement in accordance with
the Business Corporations Act (Ontario)>(the Arrangement) and
was approved by the requisite vote cast by shareholders of
Nesscap at a special meeting of Nesscaps shareholders held on
April 24, 2017.
Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Nesscap will use
the proceeds from the Acquisition to satisfy existing debt
obligations and other liabilities of Nesscap with the remaining
balance of the Share Consideration to be distributed to the
shareholders of Nesscap in connection with the dissolution of
Nesscap. Following the Arrangement and in accordance with the
requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV), Nesscaps common
shares will be delisted from the TSXV.
The Share Consideration represents approximately 11.3% of the
outstanding shares of Maxwell, based on the number of Maxwell
common stock outstanding as of April 28, 2017.
As previously announced, Maxwell has agreed as part of the
Arrangement to appoint a representative of I2BF Energy, Limited
and Arbat Capital Group Ltd., principal shareholders of Nesscap
owning approximately 79.57% of the outstanding voting stock of
Nesscap (the Principal Shareholders) to the Board of Directors of
Maxwell, which such representative shall initially be Ilya
Golubovich. Maxwell has agreed to make such appointment no later
than one business day following Maxwells 2017 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. The Principal Shareholders have entered into
shareholder agreements providing for, among other things, a
lock-up agreement regarding any Maxwell shares received as part
of the Arrangement or the dissolution of Nesscap, a standstill
arrangement related to further acquisitions and actions related
to Maxwell, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements and
as referenced above, a right to nominate a director to the
Maxwell board of directors. Additional shareholders, directors
and officers have entered into lock-up agreements regarding any
Maxwell shares received as part of the Arrangement.

Arrangement and Acquisition is not complete and is qualified in
