Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
As previously reported in a current report on Form 8-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on January 11, 2011, as amended by a current report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on May 24, 2011 (together the Prior Form 8-K), on January 5, 2011, PCTEL, Inc. (PCTEL) formed a joint venture, PCTEL Secure LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (PCTEL Secure), with Eclipse Design Technologies, Inc., an Illinois corporation (Eclipse), pursuant to an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement dated January 5, 2011 (the Existing LLC Agreement). PCTEL currently owns 51% of the membership interests in PCTEL, and Eclipse owns the remaining 49%. Pursuant to the Existing LLC Agreement, PCTEL has the right to acquire 100% ownership of PCTEL Secure during two specified call periods over the next three years by purchase of Eclipses membership interests.
PCTEL and Eclipse have entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of PCTEL Secure dated as of December 31, 2011 (the First Amendment), the purpose of which is to create a mandatory purchase obligation of PCTEL with respect to all outstanding membership interests in PCTEL Secure owned by Eclipse if Eclipse delivers a baseline secure smartphone product on or before March 31, 2011 and such baseline product satisfies certain specifications, as determined by an agreed-upon individual arbiter. If the baseline product is not delivered by March 31, 2011 or is determined by the arbiter to have deficiencies after the second round of acceptance testing, then there will be no mandatory purchase obligation by PCTEL, but PCTEL will have the option to exercise its second call right (as set forth in the Existing LLC Agreement) to purchase all outstanding membership interests in PCTEL Secure owned by Eclipse at any time thereafter until December 31, 2013. In either event, the First Amendment reduces the minimum enterprise value of PCTEL Secure utilized in the formula to determine the purchase price for the final thirty percent (30%) of membership interests owned by Eclipse.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete summary of the First Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference, and to the Existing LLC Agreement attached to the Prior Form 8-K.
