Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

 

CPI Aerostructures, Inc. (the “Company”) previously announced that it had entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Air Industries Group (“Seller”) dated as of March 21, 2018. The Agreement provides for the purchase by the Company from Seller all of the shares of capital stock of Welding Metallurgy, Inc. (“WMI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Seller.

 

On July 2, 2018, the Company received notice from Seller purportedly terminating the Agreement. The Company disputes the purported termination. The Company has responded to Seller disputing the validity of the purported termination on the grounds that Seller is in material breach of Section 5.02 of the Agreement because Seller failed to provide full access to WMI’s books and records, including inventory and accounting records, and financial, operating, and other data. The Company further contends that Seller does not have the right to terminate the Agreement, and that Seller’s purported termination of the Agreement is itself a material breach of the Agreement.

 

The reporting of this event under Item 1.02 does not constitute an acknowledgement by the Company that the Agreement has been terminated. The Company is considering all of its options against the Seller under the Agreement, at law and in equity.

 

The material terms of the Agreement were summarized in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2018. Such summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to such Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On July 2, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing Seller’s purported termination of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information contained in the press release is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
