Item 8.01.         Other Events.
On September 13, 2022, IDEX Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that it has entered into a signing protocol (the "Signing Protocol") whereby, after completion of the consultation process with relevant Dutch works council, the Company will enter into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Company will acquire from Rivean Capital, a European mid-market private equity firm, all of the equity of Muon B.V., a private limited liability company in the Netherlands, and its subsidiaries ("Muon"). Muon manufactures highly precise flow paths in a variety of materials that enable the movement of various liquids and gases in critical applications for medical technologies, semiconductor, food processing, digital printing, and filtration.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to acquire Muon for cash consideration of €700 million. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approvals, including the consultation process with the Dutch works council, and customary closing conditions.
