Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 11, 2021, Ichor Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ichor”), Incline Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MergerCo,” and each, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ichor Holdings, Ltd. (the “Registrant”)), IMG Companies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IMG”), and the representative of IMG’s equity holders (solely in his capacity as such) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, MergerCo will merge with and into IMG (the “Merger”), with IMG as the surviving entity, and as a result, IMG will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ichor and the Registrant.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each membership interest of IMG that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a portion of the purchase price consideration in cash. In aggregate, the consideration to be paid by Ichor will be $270 million, subject to customary closing and post-closing adjustments for net working capital, indebtedness, cash, and transaction expenses as of the closing date of the Merger, which is expected in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and each party has agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to the conduct of IMG’s business during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time and IMG’s non-solicitation obligations relating to alternative acquisition proposals. In addition, the completion of the Merger is subject to customary conditions and provides certain termination rights for both Ichor and IMG.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which will be filed with the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for fiscal year 2021.
