Management Commentary, Risks, and Contingencies
Management has indicated that the proceeds are contingent on the successful consummation of the SPX FLOW acquisition. If the acquisition fails to close, the capital will be redirected to general corporate purposes. The underwriting agreement includes customary indemnification provisions where the Company indemnifies the underwriters against certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and UBS Securities LLC are acting as financial advisors for the acquisition and will receive customary fees.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
