Item 1.01.                             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 25, 2016, AptarGroup, Inc. (“AptarGroup”), and two indirect subsidiaries, AptarGroup International Holding S.a.r.l., a société à responsibilité limitée (limited liability company) organized under the laws of Luxembourg, and Aptargroup Holding SAS, a société par actions simplifiée (simplified limited liability company) organized under the laws of France (collectively, “Aptar”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with the shareholders (the “Sellers”) of (i) MEGAPLAST GmbH, a Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (limited liability company) organized under the laws of Germany, (ii) Megaplast France S.a.r.l., a société à responsibilité limitée (limited liability company) organized under the laws of France, and (iii) MEGA Pumps L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, the “Companies” and together with their direct and indirect subsidiaries, “Mega Airless”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, Aptar has agreed to purchase all of the shares in the Companies for a purchase price of €202,400,000 in cash (the “Acquisition”), subject to customary cash, debt and working capital adjustments, plus interest from and after January 1, 2016.  In addition, the purchase price is subject to reduction to the extent that the 2015 consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), of Mega Airless is less than €18,000,000.

 

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and certain other closing conditions.  Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, completion of the Acquisition will occur within five business days after the regulatory approvals have been obtained and the other closing conditions have been fulfilled.  The Share Purchase Agreement provides for termination rights of the parties, including in the event that the regulatory approvals are not obtained by July 25, 2016 (the “Drop Dead Date”).  If either the Sellers or Aptar terminate the Share Purchase Agreement because the regulatory approvals have not been obtained by the Drop Dead Date, Aptar has agreed to pay a termination fee to the Sellers in the amount of €10,000,000.

 

Under the Share Purchase Agreement, each of the Sellers and Aptar have made certain representations, warranties and covenants, including a covenant by each of the Sellers, for a period of two years following the closing of the Acquisition, not to (i) compete with the business of Mega Airless in certain relevant countries or (ii) solicit any of the employees of Mega Airless.
