Note 13 – Subsequent Events

On March 27, 2013, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with William Blair & Company, LLC pursuant to which U.S. Auto Parts agreed to sell up to 2,050,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price per share of $1.09 for aggregate proceeds to the Company of approximately $2.2 million. The transaction closed on April 3, 2013 and the Company incurred issuance costs of approximately $0.6 million. The Company used the net proceeds to reduce its revolving loan payable.

On April 17, 2013, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Whitney Automotive Group (“WAG”), Inc. closed the sale of its facility in LaSalle, Illinois for $9,750,000 pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement dated April 17, 2013 between WAG and STORE Capital Acquisitions, LLC. The Company used the net proceeds of $9.6 million from this sale to reduce its revolving loan payable. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, simultaneously with the execution of the purchase and sale agreement and the closing of the sale of the property, the Company entered into a lease agreement with STORE Master Funding III, LLC (“STORE”) whereby we leased back the property for our continued use as an office, retail and warehouse facility for storage, sale and distribution of automotive parts, accessories and related items for 20 years commencing upon the execution of the lease and terminating on April 30, 2033. The Company’s initial base annual rent is $853,125 for the first year (“Base Rent Amount”), after which the rental amount will increase annually on May 1 by the lesser of 1.5% or 1.25 times the change in the Consumer Price Index as published by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, except that in no event will the adjusted annual rental amount fall below the Base Rent Amount. We were not required to pay any security deposit. Under the terms of the lease, we are required to pay all taxes associated with the lease, pay for any required maintenance on the property, maintain certain levels of insurance and indemnify STORE for losses incurred that are related to our use or occupancy of the property. We expect the lease to be accounted for as a capital lease and the $0.4 million excess of the net proceeds over the net carrying amount of the property will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term of 20 years.
