Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On March 22, 2004, CardioDynamics International Corporation (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets (the “Acquired Assets”) of the Vermed division (“Vermed”) of Vermont Medical, Inc. The purchase price consisted of $12 million in cash and the issuance to Vermont Medical, Inc. of 745,733 shares of the Company’s common stock. The consideration is subject to an adjustment based on the level of working capital included in the Acquired Assets at closing. The nature and amount of consideration related to the acquisition were determined by arms-length negotiations between representatives of the Company and Vermont Medical, Inc. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the shares issued to Vermont Medical, Inc. within 20 days of the date of the closing.
Vermed is a manufacturer of electrodes and related supplies used in electrocardiogram and other diagnostic procedures for cardiology, electrotherapy, sleep testing, neurology and general purpose diagnostic testing. Vermed is located in Bellows Falls, Vermont.
The Acquired Assets primarily include real property, inventory, receivables, manufacturing equipment, personal property, business contracts and licenses.
