On April 28, 2014, Fuel Tech entered into, and on April 30, 2014 closed on a stock purchase transaction of 100% of the capital stock (“Shares”) of Cleveland Roll Forming Environmental Division, Inc. d/b/a PECO (“PECO”), an Ohio corporation. Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, PECO became a wholly owned subsidiary of Fuel Tech. Fuel Tech paid to the Seller total cash consideration of $7.25 million. The stock purchase agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnities.

PECO specializes in electrostatic precipitator (ESP) rebuilds, retrofits and associated products and services. This acquisition broadens our APC product portfolio and grants us immediate access into the fast-growing particulate control market, creating opportunities both domestically and abroad.

We are currently in the process of determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and calculating the purchase price allocation to these assets and liabilities. We have not presented pro-forma financial information related to the acquisition because this information is not currently available and therefore it is not practical to do so.
