Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On April 3, 2023, Trimble Inc. (the “Company” or “Trimble”) and Trimble Trailblazer GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Purchaser”), completed the previously announced acquisition of Transporeon, a Germany-based transportation management company that provides a platform for shippers, forwarders, carriers and retailers to move, manage and monitor freight, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Spider Investments Luxembourg S.à r.l. (the “Seller”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser acquired from the Seller all of the issued and outstanding shares of TP Group Holding GmbH (“TP Group Holding”) and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sixfold GmbH (“Sixfold”, together with “TP Group Holding” and each of their respective subsidiaries, the “Target Group Companies”), which own Transporeon (the “Acquisition”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately €1.9 billion, which includes the repayment of the entire outstanding indebtedness of certain subsidiaries of the Target Group Companies as of the closing date of the Acquisition.
The Purchaser used a portion of the net proceeds from its recently completed offering of $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.100% senior notes due 2033, together with borrowings under its new term loan facility, additional borrowings under its other credit facilities and cash on hand, to fund the cash consideration and other amounts payable under the Purchase Agreement.
