Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On July 31, 2024, Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (“Company” or “CVG”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Mayflower Vehicle Systems, LLC ( “Seller” and collectively with CVG, the “Seller Parties”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with SVO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”).

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer will purchase substantially all of the assets of Seller’s business of manufacturing and assembling structured products, including cabs for medium and heavy-duty vehicles, at its facility in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are referred to as the “Transaction.” Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the Transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2024 (the “Closing”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid by Buyer to Seller in connection with the Transaction is $40 million, subject to adjustment for any variance of the actual value of inventory at Closing from the estimated inventory value (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price will be paid to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the date of Closing.

Each of the Seller Parties and Buyer has provided customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Purchase Agreement. The completion of the Transaction is subject to various customary closing conditions. The Purchase Agreement contains customary indemnification rights. The Purchase Agreement includes certain restrictive covenants for a period of five (5) years commencing on the Closing Date, including non-competition and non-solicitation covenants.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary termination rights for both Buyer and Seller. Both Buyer and Seller have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement if the Transaction is not consummated on or prior to November 28, 2024 (the “Outside Date”), subject to certain exceptions. Buyer has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement if a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) occurs.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
