Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Purchase Agreement
On September 29, 2020, Surgalign Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Roboticine, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), Holo Surgical S.A., a Polish joint-stock company (“Holo S.A.”), Pawel Lewicki, PhD (“Lewicki”), and Krzysztof Siemionow, MD, PhD (“Siemionow”), which provides for the Company to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Holo Surgical Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Seller (“Holo Surgical”). The Seller, Holo S.A., Lewicki and Siemionow are together referred to herein as the “Seller Group Members”.
The Purchase Agreement, the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (together with the Acquisition, the “Transactions”) have been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company.
Transaction Consideration
As consideration for the Transactions, at the closing of the Acquisition, the Company will pay to the Seller $30,000,000 in cash and issue to the Seller 6,250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 of the Company (“Common Stock”). In addition, following the closing, the Seller will be entitled to receive contingent consideration from the Company valued in an aggregate amount of up to $83,000,000, to be paid through the issuance of Common Stock or the payment of cash, contingent upon and following the achievement of certain regulatory, commercial and utilization milestones by specified time periods occurring up to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the closing. The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company will issue Common Stock to satisfy any contingent consideration payable to the Seller, until the total number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including the 6,250,000 shares of Common Stock issued at closing) is equal to 14,900,000 shares of Common Stock (or otherwise, to the extent a lower number, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that would not require obtaining stockholder approval under the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market). Following the attainment of that limitation, the post-closing contingent payments would be payable in cash. The number of shares of Common Stock issued as contingent consideration with respect to the achievement of a post-closing milestone, if any, will be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the five (5) day trading period commencing on the opening of trading on the third trading day following the achievement of the applicable milestone. The Purchase Agreement also includes certain covenants and obligations of the Company with respect to the operation of the business of Holo Surgical that apply during the period in which the milestones may be achieved.
Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Indemnity
The Company and the Seller Group Members have agreed to customary representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement includes various covenants and agreements by the parties, including the following, among others: (a) covenants by the Seller to cause Holo Surgical to continue to operate in the ordinary course during the period between the execution of the Purchase Agreement and closing, with specific enumerated restrictions on the operation of Holo Surgical that are subject to the consent of the Company and (b) procedures for making the necessary Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) filings.
The Purchase Agreement also provides that the Seller Group Members are obligated, from and after the closing, and subject to certain limitations (including, as applicable, a basket amount, maximum dollar amounts and limited time periods), to indemnify the Company under the Purchase Agreement for certain matters specified in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company is obligated, from and after the closing, to indemnify the Seller under the Purchase Agreement for a breach of the Company’s covenants and obligations set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement provides that the Company’s representations and warranties shall terminate and expire as of the closing.
Conditions to the Consummation of the Transactions
Consummation of the Transactions is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. Consummation of the Transactions is not subject to a financing condition. The parties currently expect to close the Acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2020, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to closing.
Termination
The Purchase Agreement contains customary termination provisions for a transaction of this type, including provisions allowing for termination by: (a) mutual consent of the Company and the Seller; (b) either party if there is a non-appealable order restraining the consummation of the Transactions; (c) the Company if a “Material Adverse Effect” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) on Seller shall have occurred; (d) either party if the Transactions have not closed prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of the Purchase Agreement; and (e) either party if there is a breach by the other party that is uncured and would reasonably be expected to prevent the satisfaction of any of the conditions to Closing.
The above description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated in this Current Report by reference. The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The Purchase Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or any other party to the Purchase Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Purchase Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

The information contained in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated into this Item 3.02. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, a portion of the consideration consists of shares of Common Stock of the Company.
