The disclosure under Item 2.03 is incorporated by reference in

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On May 1, 2017 (the Closing Date), Varex Imaging Corporation
(Varex) completed its previously-announced acquisition of the
PerkinElmer Inc. (PKI) Medical Imaging business, which consists
of PerkinElmer Medical Holdings, Inc. and Dexela Limited,
together with certain assets of PKI and its direct and indirect
subsidiaries relating to digital flat panel X-ray detectors that
serve as components for industrial, medical, dental and
veterinary X-ray imaging systems (the Business). The acquisition
of the Business is to the terms of that certain Master Purchase

Agreement), by and between PKI and Varian Medical Systems, Inc.
(Varian) and the subsequent Assignment and Assumption Agreement,
dated January 27, 2017, by and between Varian and Varex, to which
Varian assigned and conveyed all of its rights, obligations,
title and interest in the Purchase Agreement to Varex.
On the Closing Date and to the Purchase Agreement, Varex paid PKI
and its subsidiaries approximately $276 million in cash to
acquire the Business, which has about 280 employees, is
headquartered in Santa Clara, California and has additional
operations in Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Varex funded the acquisition and certain costs associated with
the financing through loan borrowings under a new credit
facility, as further described in Item 2.03.
Item 2.03

Credit Facility) with a five-year term and a secured term loan
credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million
(the Term Facility, and together with the Revolving Credit
Facility, the Credit Facilities), which will be repaid over five
years, with 5% payable in quarterly installments during each of
the first two years of the term thereof, 7.5% payable in
quarterly installments during the third and fourth years of the
term thereof, and 10% payable in quarterly installments in the
fifth year of the term thereof, with the remaining amount due at
maturity. Varex used the net proceeds from the Term Facility, and
the net proceeds from approximately $97 million drawn on the
Revolving Credit Facility, to pay the approximately $276 million
purchase price for the acquisition of PKI, plus related credit
facility fees, and to repay all of Varexs obligations under its
credit agreement dated as of January 25, 2017 (the Previous
Credit Agreement).
The credit agreement relating to the Credit Facilities (the
Credit Agreement) contains various customary restrictive
covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of
indebtedness by Varex and its subsidiaries, the grant or
incurrence of liens by Varex and its subsidiaries, the entry into
sale and leaseback transactions by Varex and its subsidiaries,
and the entry into certain fundamental change transactions by
Varex and its subsidiaries. It also contains customary events of
default and certain financial covenants, including the
requirement to maintain certain financial ratios. The Credit
Agreement is secured by the stock and assets of Varexs material
subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement has several borrowing and
interest rate options including the following indices: (a) LIBOR
rate; or, (b) the base rate (equal to the greater of the prime
rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or the LIBOR rate for a

bear interest at a rate per annum using the applicable indices
plus a varying interest rate margin of between 1.75% – 2.75% (for
LIBOR rate loans) and 0.75% – 1.75% (for base rate loans). The

0.40%.
