Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 27, 2015, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Agreement”) with The Sterling Engineering Corporation (“Sterling”) and all of its stockholders. The Agreement provides that we will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Sterling pursuant to a merger for 425,000 shares of our common stock (subject to increase if the volume weighted price of our common stock is less than $10.00 per share for a period of twenty trading days following the closing of the merger) and $1,925,000 in cash (subject to a working capital adjustment). We anticipate that the merger will be consummated early in March 2015.
Sterling, based in Barkhamsted, Connecticut, provides complex machining services and its business is concentrated with aircraft jet engine and ground turbine manufacturers. Following the merger, the management and employees of Sterling will remain and Sterling will be operated as a separate subsidiary as part of the Air Industries Group of companies.
In connection with the acquisition of Sterling, we, our wholly-owned subsidiaries and Sterling will enter into the Eighth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, N.A. (the “PNC Loan Agreement”) to add Sterling as a party to the PNC Loan Agreement and increase the Term Loan by an additional $2,500,000.
