Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The information set forth below in response to Item 2.01 with respect to the Sale Agreement (as defined below) and the non-competition agreements is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On May 30, 2007, PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (“PRG”) sold its Meridian VAT business (“Meridian”) to Averio Holdings Limited, a Dublin, Ireland based company affiliated with management of Meridian (“Purchaser”). To effect the transaction, PRG sold all of the outstanding capital stock of its subsidiaries, Meridian VAT Reclaim Operations Limited and Meridian VAT Reclaim Services Limited, to Purchaser, and novated to Purchaser certain intracompany loans totaling approximately EUR 17.6 million, all pursuant to the terms of a Sale of Shares Agreement, dated as of May 30, 2007 (the “Sale Agreement”). PRG received net proceeds from the sale, after repayment of approximately EUR 2.4 million (approximately U.S. $3.2 million) of intercompany loans owed to Meridian, of approximately EUR 16.8 million (approximately U.S. $22.5 million). Purchaser is also required to pay PRG, as additional purchase price consideration, EUR 1.5 million (approximately U.S. $2.0 million) on each of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009. However, the additional payments owed by Purchaser on December 31, 2008 and 2009 are subject to certain “place of supply” rules remaining in effect in the European Union without amendment prior to the relevant payment date. All U.S. dollar equivalents provided herein are based on current exchange rates and, as a result, the actual U.S. dollar value of future payments to be made by Purchaser could vary.
The Sale Agreement includes customary representations and warranties of the parties and also includes a mutual release of all claims arising prior to the closing associated with the Meridian business. Both PRG and Purchaser have also agreed to indemnify the other for breaches of the representations and warranties included in the Sale Agreement subject, in the case of indemnification by PRG, to minimum and aggregate amount thresholds set forth in the Sale Agreement.
In connection with the sale of Meridian to Purchaser, PRG and Purchaser have also entered into non-competition agreements. Under these agreements, PRG has agreed that for a period of three years it will not provide certain VAT recovery services, and the Purchaser has agreed that for the same three year period, it will not (i) provide audit recovery services within Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or the State of New York or the State of Georgia and (ii) will not provide certain VAT recovery services to certain identified entities. These non-competition agreements also include confidentiality and non-solicitation provisions.
Copies of the Sale Agreement and the respective non-competition agreements are included herein as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The description of such agreements in this Item 2.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements.
In connection with the sale of Meridian, PRG is filing with this Current Report, as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, pro forma consolidated financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2006 as if the sale of Meridian had occurred on the assumed dates set forth in the pro forma financial statements.

     NOW, THEREFORE, FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 


 

ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES AND MVRSL SHARES

For the period beginning at the Closing and continuing through June 30, 2007, PRG shall extend to the individuals listed on Schedule 5.7 (all of whom are U.S. employees of the Company, MVRSL or a Subsidiary and are participating in PRG’s United States health, dental and vision plans (collectively, the “US Health Plans”) as of the Closing) continued health care coverage under the US Health Plans on the same terms as before the Closing (as if such individuals continued to be employed by PRG or an affiliate of PRG who is a signatory to the US Health Plans). On June 30, 2007, such continued coverage shall lapse, and such individuals shall be entitled to COBRA coverage (provided such individuals and/or their dependents make a proper COBRA election, pay any required premiums and otherwise continue to qualify for COBRA coverage). Purchaser shall promptly reimburse PRG for all costs PRG or the US Health Plans incur as a result of or otherwise relating to the extension of such coverage for such individuals, including, without limitation, any insurance premiums for such coverage and any costs or claims PRG or the US Health Plans incur relating to such period of extended coverage.
     5.8 Insurance.
          (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.8, for a period of six (6) years following the Closing, PRG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain insurance coverage (either with its current insurance provider or with one or more new providers) with respect to the operation of the Company, MVRSL and the Subsidiaries prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, directors and officers insurance and errors and omissions insurance) which is not materially less favorable than the insurance coverage PRG has therefor as of the Closing.
          (b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.8, upon the request of Purchaser in each instance, PRG shall make and pursue a claim under such Insurance for the benefit of the Company, MVRSL or any Subsidiary relating to any event occurring prior to the Closing giving rise to a liability of the Company, MVRSL or any Subsidiary and in respect of which a claim under such insurance could reasonably be made. PRG shall keep Purchaser reasonably apprised as to the status of any such claim, shall cooperate with Purchaser in good faith in connection with the pursuit of any such claim, and shall promptly pay any net insurance proceeds received by it with respect to any such claim to Purchaser.

10


 

          (c) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary: (i) Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor from PRG, reimburse PRG for the portion of any insurance premium paid by PRG to maintain the insurance coverage contemplated by subsection (a) above (as reasonably determined by PRG’s corresponding insurance provider); (ii) Purchaser’s rights under this Section 5.8 are subject to the relevant terms of the underlying policies (including, without limitation, applicable deductibles); (iii) Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor from PRG, reimburse PRG for all reasonable costs incurred by PRG in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 5.8; and (iv) PRG’s obligations under this Section 5.8 shall cease in the event Purchaser fails to pay PRG any past due amounts owed by it pursuant to this subsection (c) within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from PRG.
     5.9 Mutual Release.
          (a) PRG, on behalf of itself and each entity controlled by it, hereby releases and forever discharges and covenants not to sue each of Purchaser, the Company, MVRSL and each Subsidiary, and any of their respective officers or directors, from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, rights, remedies, causes of action, damages and suits of every kind or nature, whether known or unknown, whether or not previously asserted, which arise out of or relate to actions or omissions occurring prior to the Closing; provided, however, this release shall not apply to any breach of this Agreement or the Purchaser Non-Compete.
          (b) Purchaser, on behalf of itself, the Company, MVRSL and each Subsidiary, hereby releases and forever discharges and covenants not to sue each of PRG and each entity controlled by it, and any of their respective officers or directors, from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, rights, remedies, causes of action, damages and suits of every kind or nature, whether known or unknown, whether or not previously asserted, which arise out of or relate to actions or omissions occurring prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, all obligations under any guarantees made prior to the Closing by PRG, Seller or any other entity controlled by PRG in favor of the Company, MVRSL or any Subsidiary); provided, however, this release shall not apply to any breach of this Agreement or the PRG Non-Compete.
          (c) Effective as of the Closing, all agreements (other than this Agreement, the Novation Agreement, the Non-Competition Agreements, the Letter Agreement, any agreements between PRG and any Company Director with respect to the payment of a retention bonus and any other agreements entered into pursuant to this Agreement) in existence between Purchaser, the Company, any Company Director, MVRSL or any Subsidiary, on one hand, and PRG, Seller or any other entity controlled by PRG, on the other hand, are terminated and no such agreement shall have any further force or effect.
ARTICLE 6
INDEMNIFICATION
     6.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months, and any claim for indemnification

11


 

under this Article 6 must be made prior to the expiration of such period; provided, however, the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.8 shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and the representation and warranty contained in Section 3.10 shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) years.
     6.2 Indemnification by Seller.
          (a) Subject to Section 6.1 and this Section 6.2, Seller and PRG hereby indemnify and agree to promptly defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and court costs), judgments, penalties, fines, damages, losses and liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by it resulting from or arising out of: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller or PRG in this Agreement; and (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller or PRG contained in this Agreement.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the aggregate liability of Seller and PRG pursuant to Section 6.2(a) shall not exceed an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Total Purchase Price actually paid by Purchaser.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, neither Seller nor PRG shall have any liability to Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses for which Purchaser is entitled to indemnification thereunder exceeds EUR350,000, in which event Purchaser shall be entitled to recover all of such Losses and not just the excess thereof (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement); provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.7 shall not be subject to the limitations of this Section 6.2(c).
          (d) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be entitled to make any claim for Losses pursuant to Section 6.2(a) (or to apply any such claim against the amount set forth in Section 6.2(c)) unless the amount of such claim exceeds EUR35,000); provided, however, the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.7 shall not be subject to the limitations of this Section 6.2(d). Where a series of claims relate to or arise from the same event or matter, such claims shall be treated as a single claim for purposes of this Section 6.2(d).
          (e) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the amount of any Losses recoverable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2(a) shall be net of: (i) any insurance proceeds and recoveries from third parties actually received by (or otherwise in the ordinary course of business available to) Purchaser with respect to the underlying claims therefor; and (ii) any net Tax savings actually realized by (or otherwise in the ordinary course of business available to) Purchaser with respect to the underlying claims therefor.
          (f) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.2, in the event Purchaser delivers a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 (a “Claim”) to Seller in writing and a payment required by Sections 1.2(b), (c) or (d) becomes due before such Claim is resolved

12


 

pursuant to this Agreement, then the amount of such Claim shall be deducted from the amount of the payment required by Section 1.2(b), (c) or (d), as the case may be. If Seller disputes all or any portion of such Claim, then Purchaser shall pay the disputed portion thereof (not to exceed the total amount of the payment due from Purchaser) into escrow in accordance with this Section 6.2(f) on or before the due date for the payment required by Section 1.2(b), (c) or (d), as the case may be. Any such escrow arrangement shall be with a bank designated by Seller serving as escrow agent, shall contain such bank’s normal and customary terms of escrow, and shall provide that the escrowed amounts shall only be released in accordance with written instructions signed by both Purchaser and Seller or as directed in any applicable court order. Each of Purchaser and Seller hereby agree to execute and deliver written instructions to any such escrow agent consistent with the final resolution of the dispute in accordance with this Agreement.
     6.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to Section 6.1, Purchaser hereby indemnifies and agrees to promptly defend and hold harmless Seller and PRG from and against any and all Losses incurred by it resulting from or arising out of: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement; (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; and (c) any guarantees made prior to the Closing by PRG, Seller or any entity controlled by PRG in favor of a third party with respect to any obligation of the Company, MVRSL or any Subsidiary.
     6.4 Administration of Third Party Claims.
          (a) Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification under this Article 6, the Party entitled to indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the other Party or Parties (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim. In the event of any claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or legal proceeding by a person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), such notice shall also specify, if known, the amount or a good faith estimate of the amount of the Losses arising therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnified Party fails to provide such timely notice, such failure will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article 6 unless (and then only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure or delay.
          (b) The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise or voluntarily enter into any binding agreement to settle or compromise, or consent to entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or proceeding except in accordance with this Section. With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall undertake the defense thereof by representatives of its own choosing and shall have the right to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim at its expense. The Indemnified Party or any other Party shall have the right to participate in any such defense of a Third Party Claim with advisory counsel of its own choosing at its own expense. Assuming it has received reasonably adequate advance notice of a covered claim, in the event the Indemnifying Party, after two-thirds of the period for the presentation of a defense against any such Third Party Claim, fails to begin to diligently defend it (or at any time thereafter ceases to diligently defend it), the Indemnified Party will have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim on behalf of, and for the account of, the Indemnifying Party, at the expense and risk of the Indemnifying Party.

13


 

     6.5 Exclusive Remedy. Each Party’s rights of indemnification contained in this Article 6 shall be its exclusive remedy for any claims of any breach of or other cause of action of any type arising under or as a result of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the negotiations and actions leading hereto.
     6.6 No Consequential Damages. Neither Party shall have any liability hereunder to the other Party or to any other person or entity for any consequential or indirect damages.
     6.7 Subrogation. In the event an Indemnifying Party pays an Indemnified Party’s Losses pursuant to this Article 6, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the rights the Indemnified Party has against any third party with respect thereto (and, upon the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall take appropriate actions necessary to transfer and assign such rights to the Indemnifying Party).

Exhibit 10.1
EXECUTION VERSION
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT
     THIS NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 30th day of May, 2007, by and between AVERIO HOLDINGS LIMITED, a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Ireland under registration number 379811 (“Purchaser”), and PRG-SCHULTZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Georgia corporation (“PRG”).
BACKGROUND:
     A. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser, PRG and Meridian Corporation Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of the Isle of Jersey and a wholly owned subsidiary of PRG (“Seller”), are entering into a Sale of Shares Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Purchaser is purchasing from Seller all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Meridian VAT Reclaim Operations Limited (the “Company”) and Meridian VAT Reclaim Services Limited (“MVRSL”)
     B. As an inducement to Purchaser to enter into the Purchase Agreement, and in accordance with Section 2.2 thereof, PRG is entering into this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
     1. Confidentiality. During the three (3) year period beginning on the date hereof, PRG shall regard and treat each item of information or data constituting “Confidential Information” (as hereinafter defined) as strictly confidential and wholly owned by Purchaser, and PRG shall not, directly or indirectly, use for any purpose, or distribute, disclose or otherwise communicate to any other person or entity, any Confidential Information, in each case except to the extent otherwise permitted in writing in advance by Purchaser or as otherwise required by law; provided, however, to the extent any Confidential Information constitutes a “trade secret” under applicable law, the restriction contained in this Section 1 shall continue to apply beyond such three (3) year period for so long as such information remains a trade secret. For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean the valuable and proprietary ideas, information, knowledge and discoveries (whether or not patentable) of Purchaser and the entities controlled by Purchaser that are not generally known to the competitors of Purchaser, including, without limitation, methods, equipment, compositions, technology, business plans, marketing plans, internal memoranda, formulae, trade secrets, know-how, research and development programs, sales methods, customer and supplier lists, pricing and sourcing information, mailing lists, customer usages and requirements, proprietary computer programs (including source and object codes), employee information and other confidential technical business information and data.
     2. Non-Competition. During the three (3) year period beginning on the date hereof, PRG shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, directly or indirectly, own,

 


 

operate, carry on or engage in any business which provides value added tax recovery services, other than “Domestic VAT Services” (as hereinafter defined). For purposes hereof, “Domestic VAT Services” shall mean 6th Directive VAT Audit services which identify under-recoveries of value added taxes by a client in its local VAT returns (Form 3s).
     3. Non-Solicitation of Personnel. During the three (3) year period beginning on the date hereof, PRG shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser in each instance, directly or indirectly: (a) hire, engage or employ any employee or other personnel of Purchaser or any entity controlled by Purchaser; (b) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee or other personnel of Purchaser or any entity controlled by Purchaser to terminate his or her affiliation with Purchaser or any entity controlled by Purchaser or to violate the terms of any employment agreement between him or her and Purchaser or any entity controlled by Purchaser; or (c) contact any employee or other personnel of Purchaser or any entity controlled by Purchaser for any purpose prohibited by subsections (a) or (b) above.
     4. Subsidiaries. PRG shall cause each entity controlled by it to abide by the restrictions on PRG contained in this Agreement.
     5. Specific Performance. PRG acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement by it will cause irreparable damage to Purchaser, the exact amount of which will be difficult to determine, and that the remedies at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Accordingly, and without prejudice to Section 7(g) below, PRG agrees that Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain, in the jurisdiction where the breach occurs, an order for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief and/or damages to enforce or prevent any breach of this Agreement by it.
     6. Name Change. Promptly after the date hereof, PRG shall cause Seller to change its name under the laws of the Isle of Jersey to a name which does not include the word “Meridian” or any other word which is intended to, or is reasonably likely to be, confused with the word “Meridian.” In addition, as soon as reasonably practicable after such name change is completed, PRG shall notify Purchaser of Seller’s new name and the effective date thereof.
     7. Miscellaneous.
     (a) This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto. No waiver, termination or discharge of this Agreement, or any of the terms or provisions hereof, shall be binding upon either party hereto unless confirmed in writing. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by a writing executed by both parties hereto. No waiver by either party hereto of any term or provision of this Agreement or of any default hereunder shall affect such party’s rights thereafter to enforce such term or provision or to exercise any right or remedy in the event of any other default, whether or not similar.
     (b) If it is judicially determined that PRG has violated any of the restrictions contained in this Agreement, the time period of such restriction shall be automatically

-2-


 

extended by a period of time equal in length to the period during which such violation occurred.
     (c) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, United States of America.
     (d) This Agreement may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempted assignment not in accordance herewith shall be null and void and of no force or effect.
     (e) This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
     (f) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held void, voidable, invalid or inoperative, no other provision of this Agreement shall be affected as a result thereof, and, accordingly, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as though such void, voidable, invalid or inoperative provision had not been contained herein. PRG hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is entering into this Agreement ancillary to the sale of a business from which it shall derive a material economic benefit and that this Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced under legal standards applicable to covenants entered into ancillary to the sale of a business.
     (g) The parties hereto hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and of any Georgia state court sitting in Atlanta for the purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, with the sole exception of those contemplated by Section 5 above. In addition, each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such proceeding which is brought in any such court.

     THIS NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 30th day of May, 2007, by and between AVERIO HOLDINGS LIMITED, a private company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of Ireland under registration number 379811 (“Purchaser”), and PRG-SCHULTZ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Georgia corporation (“PRG”).
BACKGROUND:
     A. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser, PRG and Meridian Corporation Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of the Isle of Jersey and a wholly owned subsidiary of PRG (“Seller”), are entering into a Sale of Shares Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Purchaser is purchasing from Seller all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Meridian VAT Reclaim Operations Limited and Meridian VAT Reclaim Services Limited.
     B. As an inducement to PRG and Seller to enter into the Purchase Agreement, and in accordance with Section 2.3 thereof, Purchaser is entering into this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the premises, the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
     1. Confidentiality. During the three (3) year period beginning on the date hereof, Purchaser shall regard and treat each item of information or data constituting “Confidential Information” (as hereinafter defined) as strictly confidential and wholly owned by PRG, and Purchaser shall not, directly or indirectly, use for any purpose, or distribute, disclose or otherwise communicate to any other person or entity, any Confidential Information, in each case except to the extent otherwise permitted in writing in advance by PRG or as otherwise required by law; provided, however, to the extent any Confidential Information constitutes a “trade secret” under applicable law, the restriction contained in this Section 1 shall continue to apply beyond such three (3) year period for so long as such information remains a trade secret. For purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” shall mean the valuable and proprietary ideas, information, knowledge and discoveries (whether or not patentable) of PRG and the entities controlled by PRG that are not generally known to the competitors of PRG, including, without limitation, methods, equipment, compositions, technology, business plans, marketing plans, internal memoranda, formulae, trade secrets, know-how, research and development programs, sales methods, customer and supplier lists, pricing and sourcing information, mailing lists, customer usages and requirements, proprietary computer programs (including source and object codes), employee information and other confidential technical business information and data.

 


 

     2. Non-Competition. During the three (3) year period beginning on the date hereof, Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of PRG in each instance, directly or indirectly, own, operate, carry on or engage in any business which: (a) provides accounts payable recovery audit services in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, or the State of New York or the State of Georgia; or (b) provides “Domestic VAT Services” (as hereinafter defined) to any entity (or any entity controlled by any such entity) listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (all of which are clients of PRG or its affiliates). For purposes hereof, “Domestic VAT Services” shall mean 6th Directive VAT Audit services which identify under-recoveries of value added taxes by a client in its local VAT returns (Form 3s).
     3. Non-Solicitation of Personnel. During the three (3) year period beginning on the date hereof, Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of PRG in each instance, directly or indirectly: (a) hire, engage or employ any employee or other personnel of PRG or any entity controlled by PRG; (b) solicit or attempt to solicit any employee or other personnel of PRG or any entity controlled by PRG to terminate his or her affiliation with PRG or any entity controlled by PRG or to violate the terms of any employment agreement between him or her and PRG or any entity controlled by PRG; or (c) contact any employee or other personnel of PRG or any entity controlled by PRG for any purpose prohibited by subsections (a) or (b) above.
     4. Subsidiaries. Purchaser shall cause each entity controlled by it to abide by the restrictions on Purchaser contained in this Agreement.
     5. Specific Performance. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement by it will cause irreparable damage to PRG, the exact amount of which will be difficult to determine, and that the remedies at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Accordingly, and without prejudice to Section 6(g) below, Purchaser agrees that PRG shall be entitled to obtain, in the jurisdiction where the breach occurs, an order for specific performance and/or other injunctive relief and/or damages to enforce or prevent any breach of this Agreement by it.
     6. Miscellaneous.
     (a) This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding concerning the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto. No waiver, termination or discharge of this Agreement, or any of the terms or provisions hereof, shall be binding upon either party hereto unless confirmed in writing. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by a writing executed by both parties hereto. No waiver by either party hereto of any term or provision of this Agreement or of any default hereunder shall affect such party’s rights thereafter to enforce such term or provision or to exercise any right or remedy in the event of any other default, whether or not similar.
     (b) If it is judicially determined that Purchaser has violated any of the restrictions contained in this Agreement, the time period of such restriction shall be automatically extended by a period of time equal in length to the period during which

 


 

such violation occurred.
     (c) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, United States of America.
     (d) This Agreement may not be assigned, in whole or in part, by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempted assignment not in accordance herewith shall be null and void and of no force or effect.
     (e) This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
     (f) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held void, voidable, invalid or inoperative, no other provision of this Agreement shall be affected as a result thereof, and, accordingly, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as though such void, voidable, invalid or inoperative provision had not been contained herein. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is entering into this Agreement ancillary to the sale of a business from which it shall derive a material economic benefit and that this Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced under legal standards applicable to covenants entered into ancillary to the sale of a business.
     (g) The parties hereto hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and of any Georgia state court sitting in Atlanta for the purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, with the sole exception of those contemplated by Section 5 above. In addition, each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such proceeding which is brought in any such court.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their respective duly authorized representatives to execute this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Exhibit 99.1
PRG-SCHULTZ INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
     On May 30, 2007, PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (the “Company”) sold its Meridian VAT business (“Meridian”) to Averio Holdings Limited, a Dublin, Ireland based company affiliated with management of Meridian (the “Purchaser”). The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 is presented as if the sale transaction had been completed as of such date. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the three month period ended March 31, 2007 are presented as if the sale transaction had been completed as of January 1, 2006. A nonrecurring gain on sale of approximately $20 million has not been included in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations but is expected to be reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to be included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2007.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include specific assumptions and adjustments related to the sale of Meridian. The pro forma adjustments have been made to illustrate the estimated financial effect of the sale transaction as if the sale transaction had occurred on the dates set forth above. The adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable as of the date of this Form 8-K filing. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the notes accompanying the pro forma condensed consolidated financial information presented and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2007 and the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operation include all material adjustments necessary to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the impact of the sale transaction on the historical financial information of the Company.
     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of any future results of operation or results that might have occurred if the sale transaction had actually been completed on the indicated dates.
