Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. On January 7, 2004, we entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") to purchase all of the outstanding stock of FAAC Incorporated, a Michigan corporation ("FAAC"), from FAAC's existing shareholders. The closing of this transaction is expected to take place on January 13, 2004. FAAC management will stay with the company and will continue to manage FAAC as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. FAAC is a leading provider of driving simulators, systems engineering and software products to the United States military, government and private industry. FAAC's fully interactive driver-training systems feature state-of-the-art vehicle simulator technology enabling training in situation awareness, risk analysis and decision making, emergency reaction and avoidance procedures, and conscientious equipment operation. FAAC has an installed base of 169 simulators that have successfully trained over 78,000 drivers. FAAC's customer base includes all branches of the Department of Defense, state and local governments, and commercial entities. The assets acquitted through the purchase of all of FAAC's outstanding stock consisted of all of FAAC's assets, including FAAC's current assets, property and equipment, and other assets (including intangible assets such as goodwill, intellectual property and contractual rights). The amount of consideration was determined based upon arm's-length negotiations between ourselves and FAAC's shareholders, Messrs. Alan G. Jordan and Tim L. Carr. We are not aware of any pre-existing material relationship between the shareholders of FAAC and us, or between such shareholders and our affiliates, directors or officers, or any associate of any such affiliate, director or officer. The consideration for the assets purchased will consist of (i) cash in the amount of $12,000,000, and (ii) the issuance, off of our existing shelf registration statement, of $2,000,000 in Arotech stock, plus an earn-out based on 2004 net pretax profit, with an additional earn-out on the 2005 net profit from certain specific and limited programs. The source of the funds used was working capital from funds raised from the sale of 8% convertible debentures in September and December 2003. A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the terms of the Agreement and of this transaction is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 2.1. A copy of the press release issued in connection with the above is included herein as Exhibit 99.1. Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.
