Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On June 6, 2014, EPAM Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain specified liabilities of each of GGA Software Services, LLC and Institute of Theoretical Chemistry, Inc., and acquired through the Company’s subsidiary substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of GGA’s Russian affiliate (collectively, “GGA”).
Under the Agreement, the sellers received at closing certain cash consideration and approximately $10.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock.  The sellers may potentially receive additional cash and shares of the Company’s common stock contingent upon the achievement of certain financial performance milestones and satisfaction of vesting periods, which amounts are not determinable at this time. The purchase price is subject to working capital and other customary adjustments.
In addition, on April 30, 2014, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding equity of Joint Technology Development Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries Jointech Software (Shenzen) Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of China, and Jointech Software Pte. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Singapore (collectively, “Jointech”). In addition to certain cash consideration, the Company will issue approximately $6.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock as partial purchase price under the agreement. Sellers may also potentially receive up to an additional $10.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock based on achievement of certain performance metrics measured over a specified 12-month period ending March 31, 2015.
All of the shares of common stock issued or issuable in connection with these transactions are restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)).
No underwriter was involved in these transactions and no underwriting commissions were paid. The transactions were exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, since such transactions did not involve any public offering.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 6, 2014, the Company issued a press release discussing the acquisition of the GGA Software Services, LLC and Institute of Theoretical Chemistry, Inc., which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to, and incorporated by reference in, this report.
