Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 10, 2023, Inogen, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Inogen”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with Mr. Adrien Mithalal, Mr. Jean-Sébastien Lantz, Mrs. Anne Reiser, CAAP Creation, Societe De Capital Risque Provencale Et Corse, Region Sud Investissement, Mérieux Participations 2, Relyens Innovation Santé and certain holders of exercisable securities identified therein (collectively, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, Inogen agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Physio-Assist SAS, a société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of France. Physio-Assist SAS, directly and through its wholly owned subsidiary, PhysioAssist GmbH, is in the business of the design, production and marketing of medical devices for bronchial decongestion (airway clearance technique) for patients suffering from obstructive respiratory diseases (the “Business”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, Inogen agreed to pay the Sellers approximately $32,000,000 cash at closing subject to adjustment for the estimated net debt amount of Physio-Assist SAS (subject to potential adjustment after closing following confirmation of the actual net debt amount and target working capital amount) and up to either an additional $13,000,000 in cash or $11,000,000 in cash (minus related development costs) depending upon the achievement of one of two alternative milestones related to the Simeox Airway Clearance System’s receipt of FDA de novo authorization or 510(k) clearance within four years of the date of the closing of the transaction.
The closing of the transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (1) the receipt of Foreign Investment Authorization from the French Ministry of Economy, (2) subject to certain qualifiers, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by Sellers, (3) the compliance in all material respects by Sellers of their obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement, (4) the conversion or exercise of all stock options, warrants and other instruments convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock of Physio-Assist SAS, (5) the absence of any Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Agreement) on the Business (as defined in the Agreement), (6) the execution of new employment agreements with certain identified individuals, and (7) the execution of intellectual property rights assignment agreements with certain individuals.
The Share Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants related to the Business. Between the date of the Share Purchase Agreement and the closing of the transaction, subject to certain exceptions, Sellers have agreed to operate the Business in the ordinary course of business and to not take certain actions with respect to the Business without the prior written consent of Inogen. The Share Purchase Agreement also provides that the Sellers will indemnify Inogen for certain matters as specified in the Share Purchase Agreement. A portion of the cash consideration paid at closing will be placed into an escrow account to secure the indemnification obligations of Sellers. In certain circumstances, the milestone consideration may also be offset to satisfy indemnification obligations of the Sellers.
The Share Purchase Agreement includes customary termination provisions including the right of Inogen to terminate the Share Purchase Agreement if the closing of the transaction has not occurred by October 31, 2023, subject to extension in certain circumstances.
The foregoing description of the Share Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Purchase Agreement. The Share Purchase Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 2.1 herewith to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Inogen or Physio-Assist SAS. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Share Purchase Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the Sellers to Inogen in connection with the signing of the Share Purchase Agreement. These confidential disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Share Purchase Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between Inogen and Sellers rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Share Purchase Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Inogen or Physio-Assist SAS. The Share Purchase Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.
In order to facilitate the operations of Physio-Assist SAS between signing and closing of the transaction the Share Purchase Agreement provides for a short-term loan from Inogen to Physio-Assist SAS pursuant to convertible bonds in the amount of up to approximately $500,000 in two tranches, which would be subject to redemption up certain events, including among others, the closing of the transaction or upon maturity on December 31, 2023. The foregoing description
of the Terms and Conditions of Convertible Bonds does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Terms and Conditions of Convertible Bonds. The Terms and Conditions of Convertible Bonds is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.
