Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
.
On December 12, 2013, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (the "Company") and Jacobs Australia Holdings Company Pty Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary  of the Company (the "Subsidiary"), completed the previously announced acquisition of Sinclair Knight Merz Management Pty Limited ("SKMM") and Sinclair Knight Merz Holdings Limited ("SKMH" and together with SKMM and their subsidiaries, "SKM") pursuant to a Merger Implementation Deed dated September 8, 2013 among SKMM, SKMH, the Company and the Subsidiary, as amended (the "Merger Implementation Deed").
In connection with the closing of the Acquisition (as defined below), on December 12, 2013, the Subsidiary, SKMM, SKMH, the shareholders of SKMM and SKMH (collectively, the "Sellers") and the representatives of the Sellers entered into a Sale Agreement (the "Sale Agreement"), the form of which was attached to the Merger Implementation Deed.  A summary of the material terms of the Sale Agreement was included in Item 1.01 of the Company's Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on September 9, 2013 and is incorporated herein by reference.  This summary of the Sale Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sale Agreement, the form of which was included as Schedule 5 to the Merger Implementation Deed which was filed as Exhibit 2.2 to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on November 22, 2013.
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On December 12, 2013, the Company, indirectly through the Subsidiary, acquired 100% of the Redeemable Voting Preference Shares in the capital of SKMM ("Voting Shares") and 100% of the Ordinary Shares in the capital of SKMH ("Equity Shares") through two separate but inter-conditional schemes of arrangement under Australian law involving SKMM and SKMH and their respective shareholders who are current and former employees of SKM (the "Acquisition").
The total purchase price for the Acquisition was approximately AUS$1.3 billion in cash (approximately US$1.2 billion as of December 12, 2013), which reflects an enterprise value of AUS$1.2 billion (US$1.1 billion as of December 12, 2013) plus adjustments for cash, debt and other items.
AUS$120 million of the purchase price was deposited into an escrow account maintained by an independent third party escrow agent, and will be available to fund post-closing claims of the Subsidiary under the terms of the Sale Agreement (the "Escrow Amount"). Fifty percent of the Escrow Amount (plus interest) will be released to the sellers of Equity Shares on December 1, 2014, and the remainder (plus interest) will be released to the sellers of Equity Shares on the three year anniversary of completion of the Acquisition, in each case, less the amount of claims paid and subject to pending claims.
SKM provides engineering, design, procurement, construction and project management, consulting, planning and scientific services in the mining and metals, building and infrastructure, water and environment and power and energy industries. SKM has significant operations in Australia, Asia, South America and the United Kingdom.
