Item 8.01
Other Events.
As previously disclosed, following the satisfaction of the required performance criteria under the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement (the "Operating Agreement") of Heska Imaging US, LLC ("Heska Imaging"), the Heska Imaging unit holders who held 45.4% of Heska Imaging that we did not own (the "Imaging Minority") gave proper notice of their exercise of the put option to sell to us all of the Imaging Minority's position in Heska Imaging following the audit of our financial statements for 2016. For additional information concerning the ownership of the Imaging Minority, please refer to our definitive proxy statement filed under cover of Schedule 14A on March 24, 2017, under the caption "Significant Relationships and Transactions with Directors, Officers or Principal Stockholders - Related Party Transactions", which information is incorporated herein by reference. As anticipated, on May 31, 2017, we delivered payment in full for the Imaging Minority’s entire position in Heska Imaging (the "Put Payment"), electing to pay entirely with cash of approximately $13.8 million, which amount was approximately $0.8 million less than the value we could have paid had we determined to deliver a combination of cash and the maximum contractually allowable value of stock. We had the right to deliver up to 55% of the Put Payment in shares of our Public Common Stock, but such stock was to be valued based on 90% of market value and was limited to approximately 650 thousand shares. Following the Put Payment, which was paid with cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, effective as of the close of business on May 31, 2017, Heska Imaging became our wholly owned subsidiary.
  




Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
