Sale Agreement

On February 14, 2022, EMCORE Corporation (“EMCORE”) entered into a Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with L3Harris Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”) and Ringo Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of EMCORE (“EMCORE Sub”), pursuant to which EMCORE Sub agreed to purchase the Seller’s Space and Navigation Business (the “Business”).

The aggregate consideration to be paid by EMCORE for the Business pursuant to the Sale Agreement is $5,000,000 exclusive of transaction costs and expenses, subject to certain working capital adjustments. Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, EMCORE will acquire certain intellectual property, assets, and liabilities of the Business. The Sale Agreement contained customary representations, warranties, and covenants of EMCORE and the Seller.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. EMCORE currently anticipates that the transaction will close in the quarter ending June 30, 2022.

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, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is 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.
