Item 1.01    Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement.

On October 15, 2018, Luna Technologies, Inc. (the “Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Luna Innovations Incorporated (“Luna”), entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Micron Optics, Inc. (the “Seller”) and Luna, solely as the Buyer guarantor. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Buyer acquired substantially all of the Seller’s assets, other than cash, as well as specified liabilities, for total cash consideration of $5.0 million, including $4.0 million paid at closing, and $1.0 million placed in escrow until later of October 1, 2019 or the date that specified matters are resolved as agreed by the Buyer and the Seller (altogether, the “Transaction”). The purchase price is subject to positive or negative adjustment based upon the final determination of working capital of the Seller compared to a target working capital amount specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and indemnities. As a part of the Transaction, the Buyer has agreed to retain the Seller’s Atlanta, Georgia facility and extend employment offers to all active employees of the Seller. In addition, for a period of five years after closing, the Seller has agreed not to compete or engage in any competing business and not to solicit customers, employees or consultants of the Buyer, subject to specified exceptions.

The foregoing summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Asset Purchase Agreement were made only for the purposes of the Asset Purchase Agreement, were made as of specific dates, and were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement and may not have been intended to be statements of fact but, rather, as a method of allocating risk and governing the contractual rights and relationships among the parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating their respective terms. Moreover, the representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to stockholders of Luna. For the foregoing reasons, none of Luna’s stockholders or any other person should rely on such representations and warranties, or any characterizations thereof, as statements of factual information at the time they were made or otherwise.

Item 2.01     Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information included in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
