Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On December 21, 2006, IBF Fund Liquidating LLC (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with USM Acquisition, LLC (“Purchaser”), an affiliate of Susquehanna Private Equity Investments, LLLP (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase, substantially all of the assets of U.S. Mills, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“USM”). The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement was subject to, among other things, approval of the proposed transaction by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Such approval was granted by Order of the Bankruptcy Court dated January 16, 2007. Thereafter, on February 7, 2007 (“Closing Date”) the parties consummated the transactions contemplated under the Agreement.
On account of continuing defaults by USM and an affiliate, Sunset Brands, Inc., in the repayment and performance of the loans and other liabilities due and owing to the Company, the transaction was consummated as a disposition of collateral by the Company, as a secured party, under Section 9-610 of the Uniform Commercial Code as codified in the State of New York.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Purchaser purchased substantially all of the assets of USM for aggregate consideration consisting of $9,000,000 in cash (the “Purchase Price”), subject to certain adjustments, and the assumption of certain liabilities specified in the Agreement. Approximately $1,000,000 of the Purchase Price was deposited into escrow with a third-party escrow agent to secure the payment by the Company of any indemnification and other post-closing obligations that arise under the terms of the Agreement. The escrow will survive until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to any then-pending claims, and any deposit then remaining will revert to the Company.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company is obligated to indemnify Purchaser and certain related parties for certain losses. In the absence of fraud by the Company, its maximum aggregate liability under these obligations will be the $1,000,000 in escrow.
The foregoing description of the transactions consummated under the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, and is incorporated into this Current Report by reference.
