Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Universal Electronics Inc. (the “Company” or “UEI”) and U.S. Bank National Association, have entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2010. The amendments added a new $35.0 million secured term loan facility (“Term Loan”) for the purpose of financing a portion of the Company’s acquisition of Enson Assets Limited. In addition, the Company’s existing $15.0 million unsecured revolving credit line with U.S. Bank (“Credit Facility”) became a secured facility, was increased to $20.0 million, and the expiration date of the Credit Facility was extended from October 31, 2011 to November 1, 2012.
The Company’s new Term Loan may only be utilized to finance the acquisition of Enson Assets Limited and to pay related transaction costs, fees, and expenses. The Term Loan is subject to certain quarterly financial covenants related to the Company’s cash flow, fixed charges, quick ratio, and net income. The minimum principal payments for the Term Loan are $2.2 million each. Principal and interest payments are payable on January 5, April 5, July 5, and October 5 of 2011. In addition, a final payment equal to the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest is due on the Term Loan maturity date. The Term Loan maturity date is November 1, 2011. Amounts paid or prepaid on the Term Loan may not be re-borrowed.
As security for the payment and performance of all obligations under the Term Loan and the Credit Facility, the Company has pledged to U.S. Bank 65% of its ownership in Enson Assets Limited as collateral.
Under the Term Loan the Company may elect to pay interest based on the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR plus a fixed margin of 1.5%. The applicable LIBOR (1, 3, 6, or 12-month LIBOR) corresponds with the loan period we select. On November 1, 2010, the 1-month LIBOR plus the fixed margin was approximately 1.8% and the bank’s prime rate was 3.25%. If a LIBOR rate loan is prepaid prior to the completion of the loan period, the Company must pay the bank the difference between the interest the bank would have earned had prepayment not occurred and the interest the bank actually earned.
In addition, Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Summary
On November 3, 2010, the Company’s subsidiary, UEI Hong Kong Private Limited, entered into an agreement to acquire all of the issued shares in the capital of Enson Assets Limited, a limited liability company organized under the Laws of the British Virgin Islands, for total consideration of approximately $125.4 million, in cash and the Company’s common stock. This acquisition was consummated pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2010, among Universal Electronics Inc., UEI Hong Kong Private Limited and CG International Holdings Limited (“CGI”), a closely-held exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The Company has not yet estimated the fair value of the contingent payments, which may change the total purchase price of $125.4 million. A total of $5.0 million of the purchase price was held back at the closing and will be applied to any CGI payments required as a result of the failure to meet both a net asset target and an earnings target for Enson Assets Limited and its subsidiaries (“Enson”) (see “Contingent Consideration” below).
The Purchase Agreement includes certain covenants, representations and warranties which are customary in transactions of this type, including certain indemnification obligations of the parties with respect to breaches of covenants, representations and warranties, subject to certain springing baskets, maximum liability and time limitations. CGI and its majority shareholder have undertaken non-competition and

Table of Contents

non-solicitation obligations relating to the customers and employees of Enson that will be effective for a period of two years from the Closing Date. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement including, without limitation, the Disclosure Schedule referenced in the Purchase Agreement, were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality or knowledge applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely upon the representations, warranties, covenants or Disclosure Schedule, or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Enson, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the registrant’s public disclosures.
Enson Description
Enson is a leading manufacturer of remote controls. It is one of the Company’s significant suppliers. The Enson corporate office, located in Hong Kong, is approximately 6,000 square feet and employs 53 people. Enson controls two factories located in the Peoples Republic of China.
The southern factory is located in Guang Dong Province, Peoples Republic of China within the city of Guang Zhou. The Guang Zhou factory is approximately 710,203 square feet and employs 796 people, with an additional 4,916 factory workers contracted through an agency agreement.
The northern factory is located in Jiang Su Province, Peoples Republic of China within the city of Yang Zhou. The Yang Zhou factory is approximately 768,543 square feet and employs 384 people, with an additional 4,415 factory workers contracted through an agency agreement.
During the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the amount of components and finished goods the Company purchased from Enson composed the following:

Primary Reasons for the Acquisition
The value the Company anticipates from this acquisition relates primarily to the following:
    Enson should increase the Company’s market position in the strategically important consumer electronics market with its historic strength with leading Japanese customers. The Company has not historically been well positioned in this market.
 
    Enson currently produces approximately one-third of the Company’s volume, therefore, the Company may decrease third party supplier purchases. In addition, Enson has available manufacturing capacity, which may provide it the ability to increase utilization of its existing factories.
 
    The Company may utilize Enson’s in-place management and personnel to assist in implementing its plan to place more operations, logistics, quality, program management, engineering, sales, and marketing personnel in the Asia region.
 
    Enson’s full line of remotes, from dedicated to higher-end universal, should assist the Company to further penetrate the growing Asian and Latin American subscription broadcasting markets. The lower subscriber revenue in these markets can cause them to begin with lower-cost dedicated remotes and to later transition to universal remote controls.
 
    Acquiring Enson should allow the Company to gain purchasing economies.
Consideration
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid aggregate consideration of approximately $125.4 million (see “Contingent Consideration” below). The consideration transferred consisted of $95.0 million in cash and 1,460,000 of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock. These shares were issued in a transaction that was intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under the provisions of Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The sources of the consideration were approximately the following:
                 
(In thousands)           Percentage of  
Source Description   Amount     Consideration  
Existing cash and cash equivalents
  $ 54,000       43.1 %
Funds from new Term Loan
    35,000       27.9 %
Funds from Credit Facility
    6,000       4.8 %
Newly issued shares of Universal Electronics, Inc. common stock
    30,412       24.2 %
 
           
 
  $ 125,412       100.0 %
 
           
Liquidation of the Company’s Term Deposit
On July 2, 2010, the Company entered into a six-month term deposit cash account at Wells Fargo Bank denominated in Hong Kong dollars. The deposit amount related to this account was $49.5 million, and was earning interest at an annual rate of 0.5%. The term was set to end on December 30, 2010. On October 28, 2010, the Company elected to liquidate this term deposit account to assist the Company with the funding of the acquisition of Enson.
New Secured Credit Agreement
On November 1, 2010, the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreement with U.S. Bank. The amendments added a new $35.0 million secured Term Loan for the purpose of financing a portion of the Company’s acquisition of Enson. In addition, the Company’s existing $15.0 million unsecured Credit Facility became a secured facility, was increased to $20.0 million, and the expiration date was extended from October 31, 2011 to November 1, 2012.
The Company’s new Term Loan may only be utilized to finance the acquisition of Enson and to pay related transaction costs, fees, and expenses. The Term Loan is subject to certain quarterly financial covenants related to the Company’s cash flow, fixed charges, quick ratio, and net income. The minimum principal payments for the Term Loan are $2.2 million each. Principal and interest payments are payable on January 5,

Page 4


Table of Contents

April 5, July 5, and October 5 of 2011. In addition, a final payment equal to the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest is due on the Term Loan maturity date. The Term Loan maturity date is November 1, 2011. Amounts paid or prepaid on the Term Loan may not be re-borrowed.
As security for the payment and performance of all obligations under the Term Loan and Credit Facility, the Company has pledged to U.S. Bank 65% of the Company’s ownership in Enson Assets Limited as collateral.
Under the Term Loan, the Company may elect to pay interest based on the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR plus a fixed margin of 1.5%. The applicable LIBOR (1, 3, 6, or 12-month LIBOR) corresponds with the loan period we select. On November 1, 2010, the 1-month LIBOR plus the fixed margin was approximately 1.8% and the bank’s prime rate was 3.25%. If a LIBOR rate loan is prepaid prior to the completion of the loan period, the Company must pay the bank the difference between the interest the bank would have earned had prepayment not occurred and the interest the bank actually earned.
Contingent Consideration
Net Asset Target on November 3, 2010
Enson will deliver to the auditors for review a statement of net assets of Enson as of the closing date and the auditors will confirm the amounts in a report. To the extent that the Enson net assets are less than $68.5 million, CGI will pay to the Company an amount equal to the difference, plus interest. Interest will be calculated as of the closing date using the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the day of this determination. The Company believes that the holdback funds will be adequate to cover any repayment, if required.
To the extent that the Enson net assets are greater than $68.5 million, the Company will pay CGI an amount equal to the difference, plus interest. Interest will be calculated as of the closing date using the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the day of this determination. The Company does not believe any payment, if required, will be material.
Earnings Target for the Twelve Months Ending March 31, 2011
To the extent that Enson’s earnings for the year ended March 31, 2011 are less than $16.2 million, CGI will pay the Company back an amount equal to the product of (a) the difference between Enson’s earnings and $16.2 million, multiplied by (b) one and one half, plus interest. Interest will be calculated as of the closing date using the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the date of this determination. CGI is required to make this payment within five business days of the issuance of the auditor’s report on Enson’s accounts.
For the purposes of this calculation, Enson’s earnings is defined as Enson’s consolidated profit before tax for the twelve months ending March 31, 2011 excluding certain agreed upon adjustments, including without limitation, the following items: profit related to UEIC sales, investment income, other income, other expenses, other gains and losses and interest expenses.
Seven months of the year ended March 31, 2011 are complete and Enson appears to be on track to meet this $16.2 million earnings target.
Purchase Accounting
Currently, the Company is performing the preliminary purchase accounting analysis, which requires the Company to recognize the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values. The Company anticipates that it will arrive at the preliminary purchase accounting during the fourth quarter of 2010. The preliminary purchase accounting will be based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the purchase measurement period (generally one year from the acquisition date to reflect new information about facts and circumstances existing on the acquisition date).

Table of Contents

Although the Company believes the Enson transaction will be accretive in the first year and grow more significantly in the long term, most acquisitions of this type involve the purchase of significant limited life intangible assets which typically result in substantial amortization charges. In addition, goodwill may be recognized associated with this transaction which is subject to regular impairment testing. There can be no assurance that the integration will be successful or that the customer bases, products or technologies will generate sufficient revenue to offset the associated costs or effects.
Acquisition Costs
The Company expects the total acquisition related costs for the Enson transaction to range between $0.8 million and $1.2 million. Of this amount $0.1 million was expensed during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The Company expects to incur the remaining acquisition costs primarily during the three months ended December 31, 2010. These costs are included, and will be included, in selling, general and administrative expenses in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
     THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated November 3, 2010, is entered into by and among CG International Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands under the Companies Law with limited liability (“Seller”), UEI Hong Kong Private Limited, a company organized under the Laws of Hong Kong (“Buyer”) and Universal Electronics Inc., a Delaware corporation (for the limited purposes expressly set forth herein) (“UEI”). Seller, Buyer and UEI are each individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
     WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Buyer, the Shares (as defined herein), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, which collectively will constitute all of the issued share capital of Enson Assets Limited, a limited liability company organized under the Laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Enson”) as at the Closing; and
     WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Annex A attached hereto.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Parties’ mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good, valuable and adequate consideration received, the Parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
          1.1 Purchase and Sale of Shares; Closing.
            (a) Purchase and Sale of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from Seller, all of the right, title and interest of Seller, as of the Closing Date, in and to the Shares.
            (b) Closing. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 A.M. US time as of the date hereof (the “Closing Date”). Legal title, equitable title and risk of loss with respect to the Shares shall not pass to Buyer until the Shares are transferred at the Closing, which transfer, once it has occurred, shall be deemed effective for tax, accounting and other computational purposes as of 11:59 P.M. US time on the Closing Date.
          1.2 Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in full consideration for the sale, transfer and conveyance of the Shares, at the Closing (i) Buyer shall pay to Seller Ninety-Five Million Dollars ($95,000,000) (the “Base Cash Portion”) and (ii) Buyer shall deliver to Seller One Million Four Hundred Sixty Thousand (1,460,000) shares of the common stock of UEI, par value $0.01 (the “UEI Shares” or the “Stock Portion” representing

1


 

approximately 9.85% of the outstanding share capital of UEI and together with the Base Cash Portion, as finally adjusted, the “Purchase Price”), all payable as follows:
            (a) Payment of Cash Portion. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to Seller Ninety Million Dollars ($90,000,000) in immediately available funds by bank wire transfer in accordance with the payment instructions and to the account as may be designated by Seller in writing, no later than the fifth (5th) business day prior to Closing (the “Seller’s Account”).

     7.2 Indemnity Obligations
          (a) Indemnity by Seller. Subject to Section 7.3 hereof, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and UEI (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees” provided that there shall not be any double claim against the Buyer) from and against any and all Damages arising out of or resulting from:

     7.4 Notice of Claims. In the event an Indemnified Party wishes to make a claim for Damages (a “Claim”) under Section 7.2, such Indemnified Party shall give a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party.

If such Claim relates to any assertion by any third party of any claim or of the commencement by any such third party of any action (a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party(ies) is/are or may be obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party, within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim (or such shorter period as may be warranted under the circumstances, such as in the case of emergency proceedings or when a response to a notification must be given within a period in order to avoid a forfeiture of rights); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties shall relieve the Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties (as the case may be) from any Liability hereunder so long as the Claim Notice is served prior to Survival Date.

An Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of a Claim Notice in respect of a Third Party Claim to acknowledge in writing responsibility for the defense of such Third Party Claim and undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party (or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be), and at the Indemnifying Party’s (or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be) sole expense, the settlement or defense thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party, or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, notwithstanding the giving of such written acknowledgment, if (i) the Third Party Claim seeks only an injunction or other equitable relief, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by counsel that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be), and, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, counsel for the Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be) could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnified Party because such interests could be in conflict with those of the Indemnifying

27


 

Party (or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be) which written advice (or a summary thereof) shall be provided to the Indemnifying Party promptly after receipt by the Indemnified Party, (iii) in the reasonable determination of the Indemnified Party, which determination shall be provided in writing to the Indemnifying Party promptly after having made such action or proceeding involves, or could have a material effect on, any material matter beyond the scope of the indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be) or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall not have assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim in a timely fashion (which shall not in any event be less than 15 Business Days).
          (b) Participation by Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense of a Third Party Claim as provided herein, the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in the settlement or defense of such claim through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be borne by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party shall under any circumstances whatsoever consent to the entry of any judgment, pay or make any settlement of any claims without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
          (c) Assumption of Defense by Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party, or the Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, does not or do not notify the Indemnified Party within the applicable period specified above after receipt of the Claim Notice that it or they (as the case may be) elect to undertake the defense of the Third Party Claim described therein, or the Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be) is or are otherwise restricted from so assuming the defense as a result of the application of the proviso to Section 7.5(a), (i) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the Third Party Claim but shall not consent to the entry of any judgment, pay or settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be) shall reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs properly incurred in defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party (or Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be) will remain responsible for any Damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the extent provided in this ARTICLE VII.
     7.6 Objection to Claim Notice. If any Indemnifying Party wishes to object to a Claim or Third Party Claim made in a Claim Notice, such Indemnifying Party shall give a written objection (an “Objection”) to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of such Claim Notice expressing such Objection and explaining in detail and in good faith the basis thereof. The objecting Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall meet within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt by the Indemnified Party of such Objection to agree on the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such Claim or Third Party Claim. If such Parties should reach an agreement, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by all such Parties. If such Parties do not reach such an agreement within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, then the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof.
