TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
EaglePicher Holdings, Inc. completed the acquisition of a 51.1% interest in Kokam Engineering Co., Ltd., a Korean battery and battery equipment manufacturer on December 2, 2004. During the second quarter of 2004, we signed a share purchase agreement to buy 51% of the equity securities of Kokam Engineering Ltd. (“Kokam”) from its majority shareholder. Kokam is a lithium-ion battery manufacturer based in Seoul, South Korea. Under the provisions of this agreement, we paid $1.0 million in July 2004 as a good-faith non-refundable fee toward the total purchase price of approximately $6.2 million for the shares and paid the remainder on December 2, 2004. In addition, the purchase price provides for an earn-out arrangement where the seller will receive ten times 1% of EBITDA (as defined in the share purchase agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.01(a)) for the first five years after closing with a maximum amount payable of approximately $14.8 million. Finally, we purchased or entered into contracts to purchase an additional 15.98% of Kokam for approximately $5.5 million during the third and fourth quarters bringing our total ownership percentage to 67.08%.
