Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Company expects the Transaction to close in the second half of 2022.
Conditions to the Transaction
The completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the expiration or earlier termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. In addition, each of the Company’s, SuperATV’s, and the Sellers’ obligations to complete the Transaction are subject to certain other conditions, including (a) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other parties, subject to certain bring-down standards, (b) material performance of the parties’ obligations under the Purchase Agreement, and (c) with respect to the Company’s obligation to complete the Transaction, the absence of a material adverse effect on SuperATV.
Other Terms of the Transaction
The Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. The Company’s primary recourse with respect to breaches of SuperATV’s representations and warranties will be against a customary representations and warranties insurance policy, subject to certain policy limits, exclusions, deductibles and other terms and conditions.
In addition, the Purchase Agreement contains covenants of the parties customary for a transaction of this nature. Among other things, until the earlier of the termination of the Purchase Agreement and the closing of the Transaction, SuperATV has agreed to operate its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and has agreed to certain other operating covenants, as set forth fully in the Purchase Agreement.
A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
