On January 24, 2025, Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with DirectMed Imaging, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer purchased assets of the Company used in the operation of its International Medical Equipment and Service (IMES) business as well as ALTA tube and related inventory (the “IMES Sale”). Buyer will only assume certain liabilities relating to the IMES business that are specified in the Purchase Agreement. The IMES Sale transaction closed simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement on January 24, 2025.

The purchase price for the IMES Sale is $8.2 million in cash, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains a customary working capital adjustment mechanism, pursuant to which the purchase price will be adjusted based on the amount by which certain working capital items at closing are greater or less than a target set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for a transaction of this type, including, among others, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to engage in business activity that is competitive with the IMES business in the United States.

The Company will indemnify Buyer against losses incurred by Buyer in connection with breaches of representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, as well as losses incurred by Buyer in connection with certain other matters specified in the Purchase Agreement. The aforementioned indemnification obligations of the Company are subject to the limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the Purchase Agreement or its subject matter, is governed by, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.
