On April 29, 2022, EMCORE Corporation (“EMCORE”), Ringo Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of EMCORE (“EMCORE Sub”), and L3Harris Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”) completed the previously announced acquisition by EMCORE Sub of the Seller’s Space and Navigation Business (the “Business”) pursuant to that certain Sale Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2022 (as amended, the “Sale Agreement”), entered into by and among EMCORE, EMCORE Sub and the Seller, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Sale Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2022 by and among EMCORE, EMCORE Sub and the Seller (the “First Amendment”), that certain Second Amendment to Sale Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2022 by and among EMCORE, EMCORE Sub and the Seller (the “Second Amendment”) and that certain Third Amendment to Sale Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2022 by and among EMCORE, EMCORE Sub and the Seller (the “Third Amendment”).

The aggregate consideration for the Business pursuant to the Sale Agreement was approximately $5.0 million, exclusive of transaction costs and expenses and subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments. Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, EMCORE acquired certain intellectual property, assets, and liabilities of the Business. The Sale Agreement contained customary representations, warranties, and covenants of EMCORE and the Seller.

The foregoing description of the Sale Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sale Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 and are incorporated herein by reference. The Sale Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the parties. The terms of the Sale Agreement govern the contractual rights and relationships, and allocate risks, among the parties in relation to the transactions contemplated by the Sale Agreement. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the Sale Agreement reflect negotiations between, and are solely for the benefit of, the parties thereto and may be limited, qualified or modified by a variety of factors, including: subsequent events, information included in public filings, disclosures made during negotiations, correspondence between the parties and in confidential disclosure schedules to the Sale Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Sale Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts and may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Sale Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about the parties.
