Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 11, 2021, Sientra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sientra”), and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with miraDry Acquisition Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and, solely for purposes of Section 8.14 of the Purchase Agreement, 1315 Capital II, LP, pursuant to which Buyer has agreed to acquire certain assets and rights, and assume certain liabilities, comprising Sientra’s miraDry business (the “Business”) for a purchase price of $10,000,000 in cash, subject to certain adjustments (the “Asset Purchase”).
The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, as well as certain covenants, including, among other things, that: (i) Sientra will abide by certain non-solicitation, exclusivity, and non-competition covenants, and (ii) Sientra will enter into a transition services agreement to provide certain transition services related to the Business. The Asset Purchase is anticipated to close in the second quarter of calendar year 2021.
The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”) is subject to customary conditions and other closing conditions, such as the accuracy of representations and warranties and material performance of covenants. The Purchase Agreement contains indemnification rights for each of Sientra and Buyer for breaches of representations, warranties, and covenants, as well as certain other matters, subject to customary deductibles, caps, and other limitations.
Sientra’s board of directors has approved the Asset Purchase. Buyer’s board of directors has similarly approved the Asset Purchase.
The above description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2021.
The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement have been made solely for the purposes of the Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement; are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by the parties’ stockholders or other security holders, but rather as a way of allocating the risk between the parties in the event the statements therein prove to be inaccurate; have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Purchase Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Purchase Agreement itself; may no longer be true as of a given date; and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders or other security holders. Except as specifically set forth in the Purchase Agreement, security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of any actual state of facts or of the condition of Sientra. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Sientra’s public disclosures. Sientra acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements of this Current Report on Form 8-K not misleading.

Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Purchase Agreement; the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction; the effect of the announcement of the proposed transaction on the ability of Sientra to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with its customers, suppliers, advertisers, partners and others with whom it does business, or on its operating results and businesses
