Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definite Agreement.

 

(a)

On November 12, 2015, the Registrant entered into a Share Repurchase Agreement with Northern Right Capital Management, L.P. and certain of its affiliated funds, including on behalf of a managed account (collectively, “NRC”), whereby the Registrant repurchased 1,483,171 shares of its common stock (or approximately 6.8% of the outstanding common stock) from NRC in a privately negotiated transaction at an purchase price of $4.98 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.4 million.

The repurchase was made in conjunction with Intevac’s existing stock repurchase program. After giving effect to the repurchase of these shares and previous repurchases made under the stock repurchase program, Intevac will have repurchased approximately $28.6 million under the program since its adoption.

The foregoing summary of the Share Repurchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Share Repurchase Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

(b)

Concurrently, the Registrant entered into an Amendment to its December 9, 2013 Agreement with Northern Right Capital Management, L.P. (then known as Becker Drapkin Management, L.P.) and related parties (collectively, the “NRC Group”), whereby the Registrant extended its commitment to include Matthew R. Drapkin in its slate of nominees for election to the Registrant’s Board of Directors to include the Registrant’s 2016 Annual Meetings of Stockholders and to solicit proxies in favor of his election to the Board at such meeting. In return, the NRC Group agreed to extend the standstill provisions contained in the original agreement until 30 days prior to the advance notice deadline for the Registrant’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2.3 No Conflict. None of the execution, delivery or performance by any Seller of this Agreement will (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under (a) any contract, agreement or other instrument to which such Seller is a party or by which the assets or property of such Seller are bound; or (b) any law, statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, writ, order or judgment to which such Seller is subject or by which the assets or property of such Seller are bound.
