On July 3, 2014, Sensata Technologies Minnesota, Inc. (“STMI”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sensata Technologies Holding N.V., entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with CoActive Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), and CoActive US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the SPA, STMI will purchase from the Seller all of the outstanding equity interests of CoActive US Holdings, Inc., the direct or indirect parent of companies comprising the Seller's DeltaTech Controls business, for an aggregate purchase price of $190.0 million, including the assumption of certain liabilities in the amount of $14.2 million, resulting in an aggregate cash purchase price of $175.8 million.

Each of the parties has certain customary termination rights under the SPA.
