Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
.
On August 27, 2015, Interphase Corporation ("Interphase" or the "Company") entered into a Manufacturing Agreement (the "Agreement") with VirTex Enterprises, LP ("VirTex") whereby Interphase will outsource to VirTex the production and fulfillment of all of Interphase's products. Such outsourcing allows Interphase to cease its own production activities, which will in turn allow it to reduce overhead and focus its efforts and financial resources on penveu® sales and marketing activities.
Under the Agreement, Interphase will periodically submit orders for products, and VirTex will perform all aspects of production and fulfillment for those products, including procuring raw materials, production planning, manufacturing, quality control, packaging, and delivery, in accordance with the specifications submitted by Interphase. Interphase will submit monthly rolling-12-month, non-binding (except as stated in the Agreement) forecasts of product production activities to VirTex. The fees payable by Interphase to VirTex for the manufacturing services and the packaging and shipping services performed by VirTex will vary by particular product, as stated in the Agreement, and will be subject to adjustment from time to time under the Agreement.
VirTex is an electronics manufacturing services provider for original equipment manufacturers and other parties in accordance with detailed specifications provided by such parties. Under the Agreement, VirTex agreed that its services would meet specified standards, which are at least the equivalent of Interphase's current standards, to ensure the quality and consistency of the products manufactured and shipped for Interphase.
The Agreement commenced on August 27, 2015 and will continue for an initial term ending June 30, 2018. At the end of that initial term and each anniversary thereof, the term of the Agreement will automatically renew for 12 months, unless either party terminates the Agreement upon 90 days' prior written notice. The Agreement may also be terminated by a party, upon 60 days' written notice, in the event of an uncured material breach of the Agreement by the other party. The Agreement contains commercially typical representations and warranties, limitations on liabilities, and indemnification obligations of the parties.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement itself, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to Interphase's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2015.
Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On August 28, 2015, Interphase committed to a plan intended to result in savings of approximately $450,000 to $1.1 million in annualized operating costs. These actions aim to mitigate gross margin erosion by reducing manufacturing and operations costs.
As part of this plan, the Company expects to reduce the number of its employees by approximately 30% to 45%. The Company expects to incur charges for one-time termination benefits in the range of $70,000 to $160,000, most of which will be cash expenditures. The Company expects to substantially complete the actions associated with the plan during the third quarter of 2015.
