Item 8.01.             Other Events.

 

On November 28, 2018, Cubic Corporation (“Cubic”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale of 3,300,000 shares of Cubic’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”). The price to the public in this offering is $60.00 per share. The Underwriters have agreed to purchase the shares from Cubic pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $57.00 per share. In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Cubic has granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 495,000 additional shares of Common Stock.

 

The offering is expected to close on or about December 3, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions. The net proceeds to Cubic from the offering are expected to be approximately $187.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by Cubic.

 

Cubic intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of its outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit agreement used to finance the acquisition of Advanced Traffic Solutions Inc. (Trafficware), and the remainder for general corporate purposes.

 

The offering is being made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (Registration Statement No. 333-226908) filed by Cubic with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that became automatically effective on August 17, 2018, a preliminary prospectus supplement, a final prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, each filed with the SEC.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by Cubic, customary conditions to closing, indemnification and contribution obligations of Cubic and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of Common Stock in the offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this report.

 

On November 26, 2018, Cubic issued a press release announcing the proposed offering and on November 28, 2018, Cubic issued a press release announcing the pricing of the offering. Copies of the press releases are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this report.
