~~SIGNATURES~~The purchase price for the PLM Business is $3.25 million (the “Base Purchase Price”), of which SofTech will receive approximately $1.2 million in cash at the Closing. Additionally, SofTech may potentially earn up to two contingent payments (“Contingent Payments”), as outlined below. The Base Purchase Price will be reduced by approximately $1.15 million of indebtedness owed by the Company to Essig under existing debt agreements which will be repaid as part of the transaction. In addition, at the Closing of the transaction, the Company will repurchase from Mr. Daly 110,000 shares of its common stock at approximately $6.50 per share, or an aggregate of $715,000. These shares are currently subject to a $7.00 put right that, absent such repurchase, would have been exercisable by Mr. Daly in fiscal 2018. $162,500 of the Base Purchase Price will be held in escrow for a two-year period following the Closing to secure SofTech’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement.

For the first 12-month period the Contingent Payment will be derived as follows:

If PLM Revenue is less than $3.2 million then zero.

If PLM Revenue is more than $3.2 million then $75,000 plus 12.5% of the amount in excess of $3.275 million.

For the second 12-month period the Contingent Payment will be derived as follows:

If PLM Revenue is less than $3.75 million then zero.

If PLM Revenue is more than $3.75 million then $75,000 plus 12.5% of the amount in excess of $3.825 million.

The transaction has been unanimously approved by the SofTech Board of Directors and the Board has recommended that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the transaction. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of SofTech’s outstanding common stock is required to approve the transaction. SofTech’s Board members collectively owned 29.1% and Essig and Mr. Daly collectively owned 18.5% of SofTech’s outstanding shares of common stock as of August 24, 2016. Mr. Daly’s ownership was 19.4% as of August 24, 2016 when his vested stock options are included.

From and after the Closing of the transaction, SofTech will indemnify Essig for any losses, including all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of any kind including without limitation, attorney’s fees, Essig incurs as a result of:

any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of SofTech contained in the Agreement;

any breach or non-fulfillment by SofTech of any covenants, agreements or other obligations contained in the Agreement;

any liability of the PLM Business not assumed by Essig in the transaction (“Excluded Liabilities”); or

SofTech’s pre-closing operation of the PLM Business.

The indemnification provisions provide that Essig’s losses must exceed $75,000 in the aggregate before SofTech is required to pay for any indemnification claim, and then only to the extent that such losses exceed $75,000.

Except with respect to Excluded Liabilities, SofTech’s maximum aggregate liability under the Agreement is capped at $3.25 million.

SofTech’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement with respect to breaches of representations and warranties survive for two years following the Closing, provided that the obligations with respect to tax-related representations and warranties survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

The Agreement contains customary representations, and warranties and covenants. The consummation of the transaction is dependent upon the satisfaction or waiver of a number of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required third party consents. The Agreement may be terminated by either party if the transaction is not completed by November 30, 2016 or otherwise under certain specified conditions.

The Agreement requires that SofTech, from the date of the Agreement until the Closing, not initiate contact with or solicit any inquiry or proposal or engage in any discussions with any third party in connection with any possible proposal regarding a sale of the PLM Business or any similar transaction. SofTech is required to immediately provide notice to Essig of any solicitation or offer made by any third party in connection with a sale of the PLM Business or any similar transaction. In the event SofTech terminates the Agreement to accept an unsolicited offer from a third party Essig will be due a termination fee totaling $200,000.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The press release issued by SofTech on August 24, 2016 concerning the transaction is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this report are “forward looking” statements as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements regarding the closing of the transaction and its timing and SofTech’s potential receipt of contingent payments based on the post-closing PLM business revenues. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which may make actual results differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statement, including, without limitations, SofTech’s ability to satisfy the closing conditions set forth in the definitive asset purchase agreement, including the receipt of the requisite shareholder approval, and Essig’s discretion to operate its post-closing business in a way which may or may not result in contingent payments becoming payable to SofTech.
