Rhea-AI Filing Summary

LightPath Technologies entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for Amorphous Materials, Inc.’s business that compounds and melts Chalcogenide glasses for third‑party manufacturers. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, the company will acquire substantially all of the seller’s assets and assume certain related liabilities.

Total consideration will not exceed $10.0 million, including a $7.0 million cash payment at closing and up to $3.0 million in contingent stock payments tied to performance milestones. These contingent payments are structured as up to six tranches of $500,000 each, calculated using an LPTH stock price formula. As of January 20, 2026, the seller achieved the first milestone and received 39,897 shares of Class A common stock.

The acquisition closed on January 21, 2026. Shares issued in the transaction are unregistered and rely on private offering exemptions. Certain seller shareholders agreed to a six‑month lock‑up after closing, followed by six months of leak‑out restrictions that limit how quickly they may sell shares.

Insights

LightPath is using cash plus stock-based earnouts to acquire a specialty glass business.

The agreement adds Amorphous Materials, Inc.’s Chalcogenide glass compounding and melting business to LightPath Technologies through an asset purchase. The structure combines a $7.0 million upfront cash payment with up to $3.0 million of contingent stock consideration, so a portion of the price depends on future milestone achievements defined in the contract.

The contingent portion is split into as many as six $500,000 tranches, with share counts based on an LPTH stock price calculation. This links dilution to both milestone performance and the company’s share price at each trigger point. As of January 20, 2026, one milestone has been met and 39,897 shares of Class A common stock were issued.

Lock-up agreements keep seller-related holders from selling company securities for six months after the January 21, 2026 closing, followed by six months of leak-out limits. This may moderate near-term selling pressure from new holders, while the actual impact of the acquisition will depend on how the acquired Chalcogenide glass business integrates and performs against the earnout milestones.
