On August 27, 1997, The Cerplex Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"); Cerplex Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Cerplex Sub"); Modcomp Joint Venture, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("MJVI"); and Modcomp/Cerplex, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership whose general and limited partnership interests are wholly-owned by Cerplex Sub and MJVI ("Modcomp") (the Company, Cerplex Sub, MJVI and Modcomp are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Selling Entities") consummated the sale (the "Disposition") of substantially all of the assets of Modcomp to CSP, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("CSP") and CSPI Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSP ("CSP Sub") (CSP and CSP Sub are hereinafter together referred to as the "Purchasers"). Such assets include, without limitation, cash, accounts receivable and tangible and intangible assets of Modcomp. The Disposition was achieved pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated as of August 6, 1997, by and among the Selling Entities and the Purchasers. The Purchase Agreement provides that the Disposition is effective as of June 30, 1997. No material relationship exists between the Purchasers and the Company, the Company's affiliates, directors or officers, or any associate of any of the Company's directors or officers. The aggregate purchase price (the "Purchase Price") paid by the Purchasers to the Company was $8,540,000, of which approximately $8,447,000 was paid in cash at the closing on August 27, 1997. The net proceeds to the Company were $8,102,000. The remaining $95,000 of the Purchase Price was withheld from payment pursuant to an escrow agreement between the parties pending the determination of certain tax liabilities of Modcomp. The Purchase Price was determined through negotiations with the Purchasers. ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS. The Company completed an amendment to its senior credit agreement with its senior lender and an amendment to its note purchase agreements with its subordinated debt holders effective August 20, 1997. Such amendments reset certain covenants to cure the Company's defaults under such agreements. In addition, the amendment to the note purchase agreements provides for the issuance by the Company of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,096 shares of the Company's Common Stock to its subordinated debt holders (the "New Subdebt Warrants") and an increase in the applicable interest rate from 9.5% to 15%. However, the increased interest may be paid in lieu of cash in the form of additional subordinated notes carrying the same terms as the existing subordinated notes. In the event the existing and the new subordinated notes are repaid in full by August 19, 1998, the increased interest will be eliminated and the New Subdebt Warrants will be cancelled. 2 3 The sixth amendment to the senior credit agreement also provides for the issuance by the Company of a warrant to purchase 1,262,188 shares of the Company's Common Stock to its senior lender, as well as increased interest and a reduced borrowing base.
