Item 2.01 |
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
|
On November 30, 2022, Bionano Genomics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed its previously announced acquisition of Purigen
Biosystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purigen”), as contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 23, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Mazdan Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Merger Sub”), Purigen, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the securityholders’ representative.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Purigen (the “Merger”) whereupon the separate corporate
existence of Merger Sub ceased, with Purigen continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the Merger, the Company paid at closing upfront consideration of approximately $32.0 million in cash. The upfront consideration was subject
to adjustment for, among other things, cash, unpaid indebtedness, unpaid transaction expenses and net working capital relative to a specified target. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company has also agreed to pay additional consideration, up to an
aggregate of $32.0 million in cash, based on the achievement of certain milestones. The Merger Agreement includes a customary post-closing purchase price adjustment mechanism, including requiring certain escrowed cash consideration, which will be
held in escrow for a specified period following the closing of the Merger to secure any post-closing adjustments, if any.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 28, 2022 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.
