Acquisition of Belatrix Global Corporation S.A.

 

On August 9, 2019, Globant S.A. (the “Company”), through certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the equityholders of Belatrix Global Corporation S.A., a Spanish stock company (“Belatrix”), pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity interests in Belatrix and its subsidiaries (the “Acquisition”). The transaction was simultaneously signed and closed. Belatrix is a software and applications development company with operations in Argentina, Peru, Colombia and the United States.

 

Upon the closing of the Acquisition, the Company paid USD 62,000,000 in cash to the sellers and, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the sellers subscribed for USD 5,000,000 of the Company’s common shares, which were valued based on the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares during the 60-day period until two days prior to the closing date. A portion of the upfront cash consideration is being held in escrow for potential adjustments related to working capital, accounts receivable, minimum cash and other matters. An additional amount of USD 3,000,000 is payable to the sellers by October 31, 2020, subject to Belatrix’s achievement of specified revenue targets for the period from August 1, 2019 through July 31, 2020, and it is subject to upwards adjustment based on overachievement of such targets.

 

The Company utilized a mix of cash on hand and borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility for the upfront cash payment. The common shares issued by the Company in connection with the Acquisition are subject to a lock-up provision, which releases three equal portions of such shares after six, nine and twelve months from the closing date of the Acquisition. The common shares were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

The information contained in this report on Form 6-K is hereby incorporated by reference into the Company’s registration statements on Form F-3 (File No. 333-225731 ) and on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-201602 , 333-211835 and 333-232022 ), to be a part thereof from the date on which this report is submitted, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished.
