On November 1, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Kewaunee Scientific Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), announced the closing of the Company’s acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Nu Aire, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Nu Aire”), pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of the Closing Date, by and among the Company, Nu Aire, Richard A. Peters, William F. Peters, Rita Peters Revocable Trust, and any amendments thereto (“Rita Trust”), Richard A. Peters Irrevocable Trust dated May 18, 2020, and any amendments thereto (“R.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Nu Aire from the Sellers for $55,000,000 in the aggregate, subject to certain customary adjustments for debt, cash, transaction expenses and net working capital, as further described in the Purchase Agreement.

Concurrently with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”). The loans governed by the Loan Agreement include:

Additionally, on the Closing Date, the Company entered into subordinated seller notes (the “Seller Notes”) in an aggregate amount of $23,000,000. The Seller Notes accrue interest at 8% per annum, and will mature on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time the outstanding principal amount and all unpaid accrued interest will become due and payable by the Company. The Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan, and the Seller Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Financing.”

On the Closing Date, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial 8-K”) to report the closing of the Acquisition and the Financing on such date. Under Item 9.01 of the Initial 8-K, in reliance on the instructions to such Item, the Company stated that (a) the Company would file the financial statements required by Item 9.01(a) of Form 8-K by an amendment to the Initial 8-K no later than 71 days from the date on which the Initial 8-K was required to be filed, and (b) the Company would file the financial statements required by Item 9.01 (b) of Form 8-K by an amendment to the Initial 8-K no later than 71 days from the date on which the Initial 8-K was required to be filed. Accordingly, this Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Initial 8-K to provide the requisite historical audited financial statements of Nu Aire and the requisite pro forma financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this Amendment are presented for illustrative purposes only, contain a variety of adjustments, assumptions and estimates, and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined Company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Acquisition and the Financing been completed on the date indicated. The combined Company’s actual results and financial position may differ materially and adversely from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this Amendment. Important factors that may affect actual results include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to the Company’s or Nu Aire’s business, as applicable (including each company’s ability to achieve strategic goals, objectives, and targets over applicable periods), industry performance, and general business and economic conditions.
