Working Capital Adjustment (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6, the Purchase Price will be adjusted on a dollar for dollar basis following the Closing to the extent that the Working Capital of the Business as of the Closing (the "Final Working Capital") is greater or less than the Minimum Working Capital. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than forty five (45) days after the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement of the Working Capital, reflecting each of the components of Working Capital as if set forth on a balance sheet, of the Business as of Closing Date which shall have been examined and reported on by Company's Auditor (the "Closing Working Capital Statement"). The report of Company's Auditor shall be made to the Company and Buyer and shall state that the Closing Working Capital Statement (i) has been prepared in conformity with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) was prepared in conformity with GAAP (except as otherwise provided herein), and applied on a consistent basis with those policies used by the Company ("Company Policies") in connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000, and (iii) presents fairly, in all material respects, the Working Capital of the Business at the Closing Date, and that the audit by Company's Auditor was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The Closing Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Company and in conformity with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis with Company Policies, except that (i) accounts receivable shall reflect only trade accounts receivable of the Business, (ii) accounts payable shall reflect only trade accounts payable of the Business and a payable to Pepsi-Cola and National Brand Beverages, Ltd. of $2,000,000 and shall exclude any accounts payable if including such accounts payable would result in the aggregate accounts payable exceeding the aggregate accounts receivable, (iii) the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable shall be zero, (iv) the value of Inventory shall be adjusted in accordance with the Company's year end adjustment procedures and (v) Retained Assets and Retained Liabilities shall be excluded. Promptly after the Closing, but in no event later than October 22, 2000, Buyer and the Company shall cooperate to permit the Company's Auditor to perform a physical count and inspection of the Inventory for purposes of preparing the Closing Working Capital Statement. The timing of such physical count and inspection shall be coordinated with Buyer and Buyer's Auditor so as to minimize disruption to Buyer's business and to allow Buyer's Auditor to be present at such physical count and inspection. For purposes of this Agreement, the Inventory to be stated on the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be the Inventory at the time of such physical count and inspection as adjusted in accordance with the books and records of the Company to the effective time of the Closing. The Company shall permit Buyer and Buyer's Auditor to review all work papers and computations used by the Company and Company's Auditor in preparing the Closing Working Capital Statement. After the Closing Date, until agreement is reached as to the Closing Working Capital Statement, for purposes of this Section 2.6, Buyer shall permit the Company and Company's Auditor full and free access, at all reasonable times, to the deeds, documents and contracts and books of account, records, files, invoices and other data associated with, necessary to or used in the Business as conducted on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company shall coordinate such access with Buyer in order to minimize disruption to the conduct of Buyer's business. Buyer shall within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement advise the Company in writing of the amounts and descriptions of adjustments relating to Working Capital, if any, which Buyer believes are necessary to be made to the Closing Working Capital Statement. In the event that Buyer and the Company are unable to resolve any differences with respect to the Working Capital reflected on the Closing Working Capital Statement within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement by Buyer, then the issues remaining unresolved shall be determined as follows: Buyer and the Company shall jointly select and retain an independent firm of certified public accountants of national standing and reputation in the United States (the "Independent Firm") for the purpose of resolving within the ranges proposed by Buyer and the Company all remaining unresolved issues with respect to the Working Capital. If Buyer and the Company are not able to agree upon the Independent Firm within seventy-five (75) days after receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement by Buyer, then the Independent Firm shall be selected by lot after Buyer has eliminated two (2) of the three (3) independent firms of public accountants of national standing and reputation in the United States selected by the Company and the Company has eliminated two (2) of the three (3) such firms selected by Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer's Auditor shall not be one of the three independent firms selected by Buyer and Company's Auditor shall not be one of the three independent firms selected by the Company.
Net Working Capital Adjustment (a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the “Closing Statement”) calculating the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Closing Net Working Capital”) as well as the adjustments to Transaction Consideration which shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.6, together with all underlying documentation supporting such calculations. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its preparation of the Closing Statement.
Capital Adjustments (a) The existence of the Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Corporation's capital structure or the Corporation’s business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred stock having a preference to or affecting the Corporation’s capital stock or the rights thereof, or the issuance of any securities convertible into any such capital stock or of any rights, options, or warrants to purchase any such capital stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation’s assets or business, or any other act or proceeding of the Corporation, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
Estimated Closing Statement Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), certified in writing by an executive officer of the Seller, setting forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the Seller’s good faith calculation, together with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, of the estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital”) and the components thereof; (ii) the Estimated Working Capital Increase or Estimated Working Capital Decrease, as the case may be; and (iii) the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price (the resulting amount, the “Estimated Purchase Price”), in each case calculated pursuant to the Accounting Principles. The Seller and the Owner, during the period from the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement through the Closing Date, shall, and shall cause their respective managers, officers, employees, accountants, and other relevant advisors to, provide the Buyer (and its auditors, advisors, counsel, and other representatives) reasonable access to the books and records, outside accounting firm, working papers (subject to the execution of customary access letters), personnel, and facilities of the Seller in order to complete their review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the calculations set forth therein, and the Seller shall consider in good faith any comments made by the Buyer to the Estimated Closing Statement. The Buyer’s failure to make any comment regarding, or to dispute any amount included in, the Estimated Closing Statement shall not limit, or have any effect on, the Buyer’s rights pursuant to Section 2.05(b) to conduct a review of the Estimated Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Estimated Working Capital Increase or Estimated Working Capital Decrease, as the case may be, and the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price. The Seller and the Owner shall cooperate with the Buyer’s review of the Estimated Closing Statement and the Buyer and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith prior to the Closing to resolve any reasonable objection the Buyer may have to the estimates or calculations contained therein.
Closing Adjustment Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Sellers shall provide Purchasers with a certificate signed by an officer of each of the Sellers attaching reasonable and good faith estimates (the “Closing Estimates”) of each of (i) the Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), (ii) the Closing Cash Amount (the “Estimated Closing Cash Amount”); (iii) the Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”); (iv) the Closing Date Transaction Fees (the “Estimated Closing Date Transaction Fees”); and (v) the Closing Adjustment (as defined below). Each of the Closing Estimates shall be determined in accordance with the Accounting Methodology. Purchasers shall be entitled to review, and propose reasonable changes to the Closing Estimates and Sellers shall provide Purchasers and their Representatives with reasonable access, at reasonable times following prior notice, to the officers, employees, agreements and books and records of the Transferred Entities to verify the accuracy of such amounts. The Sellers shall consider the Purchasers’ proposed changes in good faith. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement on any proposed changes, the Closing Estimates (and the components thereof) as proposed by the Sellers shall control solely for purposes of payments to be made at Closing and shall not limit or otherwise effect the Purchasers’ remedies under this Agreement or otherwise constitute an acknowledgment by Purchasers of the accuracy of the Closing Estimates. The “Closing Adjustment” shall equal (i) the Estimated Closing Working Capital, plus (ii) the Estimated Closing Cash Amount, less (iii) the Target Working Capital, less (iv) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, and (v) less the Estimated Closing Date Transaction Fees.
Post-Closing Adjustments As soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a final settlement statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth each adjustment or payment that was not finally determined as of the Closing and showing the calculation of such adjustments and the resulting Final Purchase Price. Seller shall make its workpapers and other information available to Purchaser to review in order to confirm the adjustments shown on Seller’s draft. As soon as practicable after receipt of the Final Settlement Statement, but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written report containing any changes that Purchaser proposes to make to the Final Settlement Statement. Any failure by Purchaser to deliver to Seller the written report detailing Purchaser’s proposed changes to the Final Settlement Statement within sixty (60) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed an acceptance by Purchaser of the Final Settlement Statement as submitted by Seller. The parties shall agree with respect to the changes proposed by Purchaser, if any, no later than sixty (60) days after Seller receives from Purchaser the written report described above containing Purchaser’s proposed changes. If the Purchaser and the Seller cannot then agree upon the Final Settlement Statement, the determination of the amount of the Final Settlement Statement shall be submitted to a mutually agreed firm of independent public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”). The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be enforceable against any party hereto in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be borne by the Seller and the Purchaser equally. The date upon which such agreement is reached or upon which the Final Purchase Price is established, shall be herein called the “Final Settlement Date.” In the event
Closing Adjustments To the extent that any prorations, adjustments or other amounts with respect to the Contributed Entity or the Property shall be payable by or to the Contributors at or following each Closing in accordance with the provisions of the Master Agreement, the amount of the purchase consideration determined pursuant to Section 1.2(a) shall be adjusted accordingly, it being acknowledged and agreed by each Contributor that from and after the date hereof, (i) the Contributed Entity shall not declare, pay or otherwise make provision for any dividends or distributions and (ii) immediately prior to the Closing, in addition to any prorations, adjustments or other amounts payable by or to the Contributors with respect to the Contributed Entity or the Property, the Contributed Entity shall distribute to each Contributor receiving Securities an amount equal to the amount such Contributor would have been paid as a distribution on account of the Securities it will receive at Closing had such Securities been issued and sold to such Contributor at the Initial Closing.
Post-Closing Adjustment (i) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Closing Statement”) that shall set forth in reasonable detail Seller’s calculation of the net amount of all adjustments to the Base Purchase Price required by Section 2.6(a) taking into account actual data (the “Purchase Price Adjustment”), together with reasonable supporting material regarding the computation thereof. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days to review the Closing Statement following receipt thereof. On or before the end of such 30-day review period, Buyer may object to the Closing Statement by written notice to Seller (the “Objection Notice”), setting forth Buyer’s specific objections to the calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment. Such Objection Notice shall specify those items or amounts with which Buyer disagrees, together with a detailed written explanation of the reasons for disagreement with each such item or amount (and reasonable supporting material therefor), and shall set forth Buyer’s calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment based on such objections. To the extent not set forth in a timely-delivered Objection Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with Seller’s calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement and neither party may thereafter dispute any item or amount not set forth in such Objection Notice. If Buyer does not timely deliver any Objection Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed with and accepted Seller’s calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment, and the Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties as of the end of Buyer’s 30-day review period.
Adjustment Amount (a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within 90 calendar days thereof, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller, Buyer’s calculation of (i) Closing Net Working Capital, (ii) Closing Indebtedness, (iii) Closing Transaction Expenses, (iv) Closing Cash, (v) Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount, and (vi) on the basis of the foregoing, a calculation of the Closing Purchase Price (together with the calculations referred to in clauses (i) through (v) above, the “Final Closing Statement”). The Closing Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness and Closing Cash shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and the defined terms used in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, that the Final Closing Statement (and any amounts included therein) shall not give effect to any act or omission by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or the Company taken after the Reference Time or reflect any payments of cash in respect of the Purchase Price, or any financing transactions in connection therewith or reflect any expense or liability for which Buyer is responsible under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Section 2.04 nor this Section 2.06 is intended to be used to adjust the Closing Purchase Price for errors or omissions, under GAAP or otherwise, that may be found with respect to the Financial Statements or the Target Net Working Capital. No fact or event, including any market or business development, occurring after the Closing Date, and no change in GAAP or Applicable Law after the Balance Sheet Date, shall be taken into consideration in the calculations to be made pursuant to Section 2.04 or this Section 2.06. If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Final Closing Statement in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.06(a) within such 90-day period, then the Preliminary Closing Statement delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be Buyer’s proposed Final Closing Statement, for all purposes hereunder, and Seller shall retain all of its rights under this Section 2.06 with respect thereto, including the right to dispute the calculations set forth therein in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06.
CLOSING COSTS AND ADJUSTMENTS All adjustments are made as of settlement date.
