Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 15, 2022, Chase Corporation ("Chase" or the "Company") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among Chase, Nucera Holdings Inc., and Nucera Solutions Holdco LP, to acquire NuCera Solutions ("NuCera").
NuCera is a recognized global leader in the production and development of highly differentiated specialty polymers and polymerization technologies serving demanding applications, offering products critical to enabling end-product functionality, performance and reliability. Nucera is headquartered in Houston, Texas with its primary production based in Barnsdall, Oklahoma and additional international sales offices in France and Singapore. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the third calendar quarter of 2022.
​
The Company will acquire all of the capital stock of NuCera for a purchase price of $250,000,000, pending any working capital adjustments and excluding acquisition-related costs. The purchase will be funded by utilizing Chase's existing revolving credit facility and available cash on hand. NuCera will integrate into Chase Corporation's Adhesives, Sealants and Additives segment and will continue to market under NuCera brands.
​
The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of applicable anti-trust waiting periods.
​
The foregoing summary of the Stock Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. The Stock Purchase Agreement contains usual and customary representations and warranties that the parties to such agreement made to each other as of specific dates.  The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Stock Purchase Agreement among the parties, and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of such agreement. Moreover, the representations and warranties are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to shareholders, and the representations and warranties may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts.
