ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On November 22, 2000, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of
November 22, 2000, by and among SMTC Corporation ("SMTC"); SMTC Manufacturing
Corporation of Canada, a Canadian corporation ("SMTC Canada"); Qualtron
Teoranta, a privately held Irish corporation; Cillian Feiritear, Patrick Dunne,
Patrick Moore, and Enterprise Equity (IRL) Limited (collectively, the
"Sellers"), SMTC Canada acquired all of the outstanding shares of Qualtron
Teoranta, and SMTC acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of
Qualtron, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation that was wholly-owned by Qualtron
prior to consummation (together with Qualtron Teoranta, "Qualtron").
Qualtron is a provider of specialized cable and harness assemblies. With
facilities in Ireland and Massachusetts, Qualtron offers a broad range of
services focusing on single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic connector assemblies
and volume cable assemblies utilizing coaxial, ribbon cable, shielded and tight
pair technologies. SMTC expects Qualtron to continue such activities.
The Sellers received stock and cash consideration for their shares of
Qualtron Teoranta. Qualtron Teoranta received cash consideration for the
capital stock of Qualtron, Inc. The $26.3 million transaction was funded with
547,114 exchangeable shares of SMTC Canada and $13.4 million of cash, subject to
adjustment based on final determination of Qualtron's working capital at the
time of closing. The exchangeable shares of SMTC Canada are exchangeable for
shares of common stock of SMTC. The amount of the consideration was arrived at
through arm's length negotiations between the parties. The sources of the funds
for the cash portion of the consideration were from SMTC's working capital and
borrowings under SMTC's senior credit facility.
At the time of consummation, no material relationships existed between SMTC
or SMTC Canada and Qualtron, its affiliates, officers, directors, and the
associates of such officers and directors, or the Sellers, their affiliates,
officers, directors, and the associates of such officers and directors, as
applicable.
