Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 7, 2013, Dynasil Corporation of America (the "Company") and
RMD Instruments Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered
into and consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase
Agreement") with Protec Instrument Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Protec"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Laboratoires Protec
S.A., a French corporation. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement,
the Company sold to Protec its X-Ray Fluorescence Lead Paint Detector
product line for $1.1 million, less certain adjustments which resulted
in a cash payment of approximately $925,000, and the assumption by
Protec of certain liabilities of the Company. Laboratories Protec S.A.
also made payments of approximately $425,000 in satisfaction of their
outstanding accounts receivable in connection with the transaction. The
Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties,
covenants and indemnification provisions. Concurrently with the closing
of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company and Protec entered into a
transition services agreement pursuant to which the Company will provide
certain transitional services to Protec for up to five months after
closing.
The Company will use the proceeds from the sale to reduce its
indebtedness to Santander Bank, N.A. by approximately $1.2 million to
$5.3 million. The Company's indebtedness to Santander was approximately
$9.0 million as of September 30, 2012 and $7.6 million June 30, 2013.
The Company also has a subordinated $3 million note to Massachusetts
Capital Resource Corporation that remains outstanding.
The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Asset Purchase Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September
