Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Purchase Agreement

On November 10, 2021, Array Tech, Inc. (“Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Array Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) entered into a definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Amixa Capital, S.L. and Aurica Trackers, S.L., each a company duly organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (together, the “Sellers”) and Mr. Javier Reclusa Etayo for the specified purposes thereunder, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the share capital of Soluciones Técnicas Integrales Norland, S.L., a Spanish private limited liability company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “STI”) (the “Transaction”).

The board of directors of the Company has approved the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the consideration to be paid by the Company in the Transaction consists of €342 million (approximately $396 million) in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and 13,894,800 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Equity Consideration”), based on the volume-weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) for the sixty (60) trading days period immediately preceding the date of the Purchase Agreement, converted into Euros at the Agreed USD/Euro Exchange Rate (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and subject to a collar price between $19 and $22, subject to certain purchase price adjustments to be calculated as of the closing date (with all post-effective date purchase price adjustments netted against the Cash Consideration). The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions for cross-border transactions.

The Purchase Agreement also provides customary termination rights for both the Buyer and Sellers for a cross-border transaction.

In connection with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a debt commitment letter dated November 10, 2021 pursuant to which third party financial institutions have committed, subject to the satisfaction of standard conditions, to provide the Company with a bridge loan facility in aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million. The Company currently intends to finance the transaction and related fees and expenses with cash on hand, borrowings under its senior credit facilities, proceeds from our option to require the holders of our Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) to purchase additional Preferred Shares, and through one or more debt capital markets transactions, subject to market conditions and other factors, and, only to the extent necessary, borrowings under the bridge loan facility.

In connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Company will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain affiliates of STI (the “Holders”) that will receive a portion of the Stock Consideration to be issued at the closing of the Transaction (the “Issuance”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, among other things, the Company is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement registering for resale the shares of the Company’s common stock received by the Holders as part of the Issuance. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides, among other things, that each Holder will agree not to sell its portion of the Stock Consideration received in the Issuance for 180 days following the closing of the Transaction (the “Lock-Up Period); provided, however, the Lock-Up (as defined below) shall expire in respect of 20% of each Holder’s Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) if for ten consecutive trading days beginning on the date that is three months after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement and prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds by 20% or more the price of the Company’s Common Stock at the date of the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Lock-Up”). Additionally, certain members of STI’s management who receive Common Stock in connection with the Transaction have entered into restrictions on the sale or transfer of their shares of the Common Stock for a period of 18 months, subject to certain early release conditions.

Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the parties thereto or their respective businesses. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties to the Purchase Agreement or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.
