Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 18, 2015, Cimpress Deutschland GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cimpress N.V., entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire WIRmachenDRUCK GmbH, a German limited liability company. Cimpress Deutschland agreed to acquire all of the shares of WIRmachenDRUCK for a purchase price of approximately €140,000,000 payable at closing, subject to adjustment based upon acquired cash, debt, and working capital as of the closing date, of which €132,000,000 will be payable in cash and €8,000,000 will be payable in ordinary shares of Cimpress N.V. The Share Purchase Agreement also provides for Cimpress Deutschland to pay the shareholders of WIRmachenDRUCK a potential earn out of up to €40,000,000 in early 2018, based on the achievement of financial performance targets for calendar years 2016 and 2017.

Under the Share Purchase Agreement, €18,000,000 of the cash purchase price payable at closing will be deposited into an escrow account to secure certain obligations of the former shareholders of WIRmachenDRUCK, and Cimpress Deutschland will withhold €3,000,000 of the cash purchase price payable at closing for approximately 60 days after the closing to cover any shortfall from agreed levels of WIRmachenDRUCK's net cash and working capital at closing.

Subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including antitrust clearance, Cimpress expects the acquisition to close during its third fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2016.

The foregoing is not a complete description of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Share Purchase Agreement and is qualified by reference to the full text and terms of such agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
