ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- ------
On February 20, 2001, BBI Clinical Laboratories, Inc. (the "Seller"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Boston Biomedica, Inc. (the "Company"), sold certain
assets and liabilities of its clinical laboratory (the "Business"), to Specialty
Laboratories, Inc. (the "Buyer"), for an aggregate purchase price of $9,500,000
in cash (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment as described below. The
Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 20, 2001 by and between the Seller, the
Company and the Buyer (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") provides that within 30
days of the closing date of the sale, the Seller will provide Buyer with a
balance sheet of the Business as of January 31, 2001 and a reconciliation of
cash, inventory, gross receivables and accounts payable from that date to the
closing date. The closing balance sheet and the reconciliation will be used to
calculate a closing working capital amount (the "Closing Working Capital
Amount"). If the Closing Working Capital Amount, as defined in the Asset
Purchase Agreement, is less than $2,371,000, the Purchase Price will be
decreased in an amount equal to the deficiency.
The assets sold in the transaction include cash, inventory, accounts
receivable, an option to acquire certain equipment, certain intellectual
property, a one year license to the tradename "BBI Clinical Laboratories" and
all causes of action, demands, judgments, claims and indemnity rights of Seller
relating to the foregoing assets. The Buyer assumed certain liabilities of the
Business, including accounts payable. All other liabilities of Seller relating
to the Business were not assumed by Buyer.
In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Seller and Buyer
entered into a transition services agreement, pursuant to which Seller will
provide certain clinical laboratory testing services for Buyer for a transition
period of at least 180 days from the closing date, but in no event shall such
services extend beyond December 31, 2001.
The terms of this transaction, as more fully described in the Asset
Purchase Agreement, were determined as a result of arm's length negotiations
between representatives of the Buyer, Seller and the Company.
ITEM 5. OTHER ITEMS
- ------
On March 5, 2001, the Company announced it had repurchased $2.04 million of
convertible debentures held by the GCA Strategic Investment Fund Ltd. ("GCA")
for $2.23 million in cash. As a result of this repurchase, there are no
outstanding debentures remaining from the private placement of $3.25 million of
these securities in August 2000 to GCA, the Shoreline Micro-Cap Fund of
Northbrook, IL and a related individual. Earlier this year, GCA had converted
$210,000 of their debentures for 138,640 shares of common stock and the
Shoreline Micro-Cap Fund and the related individual had converted all of their
$1.0 million of debentures for 662,685 shares of common stock.
The Company also announced the repayment in full of the outstanding balance
of $5.8 million on its line-of-credit with Fleet Bank. Thus, BBI's only
significant debt now outstanding is the existing mortgage of $2.4 million on the
Company's West Bridgewater (MA) manufacturing and headquarters facility, which
carries debt service comparable to rent. The Company intends to maintain a
mortgage on the property.
