EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

As of November 30, 2018, CECO Environmental Corp. (the “Company”) has completed the sale of its Zhongli business (the “Zhongli business”) pursuant to the terms of the previously announced purchase and sale agreement (the “Agreement”).

 

On October 29, 2018, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) relating to the entry into the Agreement and a related accounting charge that the Company would be required to record as a result of the entry into the Agreement. The Company intended to file the information contained in the Original Form 8-K under Item 2.06, Material Impairments. However, the Company inadvertently filed the information contained in the Original Form 8-K under Item 2.01, Completion of Acquisition or Disposal of Assets.

 

Accordingly, this amendment to the Original Form 8-K is being filed solely to correct the Item under which the information in the Original Form 8-K is filed.  The Original Form 8-K remains unchanged.

 

Item 2.06. Material Impairments.

 

On October 24, 2018, CECO Environmental Corp. (the “Company”), through two of its subsidiaries (“Seller”), and Jiangsu Zhongli Environmental Technology Co., Ltd (the “Purchaser”) entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed to acquire the Company’s Zhongli business (the “Zhongli Business”). The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the next 90 days, subject to customer closing conditions and Chinese regulatory approvals.

 

As a result of the Company’s entry into the Agreement, under United States generally accepted accounting principles, the Zhongli Business will be classified as “held for sale” in our third quarter financial statements. Accordingly, the Company will be required to record the assets related to the Zhongli Business at fair value, less an amount of estimated sale costs. The Company currently estimates that recording the assets related to the Zhongli Business at fair value will result in a charge of approximately $15 million in the third quarter.
