Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 5, 2013, LKQ Corporation ("LKQ") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Keystone Automotive Holdings, Inc. ("KAH") and certain shareholders of KAH pursuant to which LKQ would acquire KAH for an aggregate purchase price of $450 million. KAH, through its subsidiaries, is a leading distributor and marketer of specialty aftermarket equipment and accessories in North America. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and necessary regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of LKQ will be merged into KAH and KAH will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of LKQ. The purchase price is subject to certain adjustments, including an adjustment related to KAH's net working capital amount at closing. Part of the purchase price will be paid through the delivery of a 15-month 1% promissory note in the principal amount of $31.5 million that will serve as security for any breaches of the Merger Agreement by the selling shareholders. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, which will be filed with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013.
