Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 19, 2018 Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (“Maxwell”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with RN C Holding SA, a special purpose holding entity and affiliate of Renaissance Investment Foundation, (“Renaissance”), providing for the sale of 100% of the shares of Maxwell’s Swiss subsidiary, Maxwell Technologies SA (“Maxwell SA”), and its high voltage capacitor product line to Renaissance. The transaction simultaneously closed with the signing of the Share Purchase Agreement on December 19, 2018 .
The upfront purchase price was CHF 55 million, or approximately USD 55.1 million, which after certain reductions and other transaction-related expenses resulted in net upfront cash proceeds of approximately USD 47.9 million. These reductions and transaction-related expenses included (i) CHF 0.9 million, or approximately USD 0.9 million, that was placed in a third party escrow account to satisfy potential withholding tax obligations that may be due as part of the transaction, (ii) certain adjustments for agreed upon net working capital amounts, certain expenditures made by Maxwell SA for the benefit of Maxwell since September 30, 2018, and other financial related adjustments as further agreed upon and set forth in the Agreement; and (iii) fees and expenses incurred by Maxwell in connection with the transaction. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement, Renaissance has agreed to make two additional milestone payments of up to CHF 7.5 million, or approximately USD 7.5 million, per year based on the achievement of specific revenue targets related to the high voltage capacitor product line in fiscal years 2019 and 2020 resulting in potential aggregate milestone payments of CHF 15 million, or approximately USD 15 million.
The Share Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The Share Purchase Agreement also specifies that Maxwell shall indemnify Renaissance and its related parties against breaches or inaccuracies of representations and warranties, failure to perform agreements, covenants or undertakings contained in the Share Purchase Agreement and certain special indemnification matters, as set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement. Renaissance may set off any damages incurred for indemnification matters covered by the Share Purchase Agreement against any future milestone payments. In addition, up to CHF 5 million, or approximately USD 5.0 million, may be withheld from any potential milestone payments and funded to a separate escrow account to satisfy certain indemnity obligations as set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement.
As part of the transaction articulated under the Share Purchase Agreement, East West Bank provided a release of the Swiss Guaranty Documents as defined and described under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement previously disclosed.
The foregoing description of the Share Purchase Agreement as contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Share Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure.
The information furnished in Exhibit 99.1 to this report, which relates to the sale of the high voltage capacitor product line of the Company, is expected to be presented by the Company to investors.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report and Exhibit 99.1 shall be deemed “furnished” and not be deemed “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information under this Item 7.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K and in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing .

Item 8.01.    Other Events.
On December 19, 2018 , the Company issued a press release announcing the signing of the Purchase Agreement and completion of the related transactions. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements that are not a description of historical facts and that involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which, if they do not materialize or prove correct, could cause Maxwell’s results to differ materially from historical results or those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the potential benefits, synergies and cost savings of the anticipated sale, including the expected impact on future financial and operating results, future milestone payments, and post-transaction plans and intentions. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on the current expectations and assumptions of Maxwell and not on historical facts. The following important factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the loss of key employees; the risk associated with the sale of a product-line and operating subsidiary; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully and therefore impact the right to future milestone payments; and the risk that benefits and synergies from the share acquisition may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected and impact the right to future milestone payments. Additional risks and uncertainties that may affect future results are described in Maxwell’s news releases and periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Maxwell’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available at www.sec.gov. Maxwell assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which it was made.

Failure to give notice within the above-mentioned period shall not constitute a waiver of any right in this respect. The Buyer's failure to give proper and timely notice shall only relieve the Seller from any liability that the Seller has to the Buyer if and to the extent that the Seller has been prejudiced by such failure, in particular if the Buyer Incurred Damages have increased as a result of such failure. The Parties expressly waive the Buyer's obligations pursuant to, and the application of, Article 201 CO.

Failure to give notice within the above-mentioned period shall not constitute a waiver of any right in this respect. The Seller's failure to give proper and timely notice shall only relieve the Buyer from any liability that the Buyer has to the Seller if and to the extent that the Buyer has been prejudiced by such failure, in particular if the Seller Incurred Damages have increased as a result of such failure. The Parties expressly waive the Seller's obligations pursuant to, and the application of, Article 201 CO.	

5.3	No Other Liability and Remedies	

23

		
(a)	The remedies contained in this Agreement for breach of the representations and warranties shall be exhaustive and not in addition to any other remedies provided for by any applicable Law and all other remedies shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, apply and are hereby expressly waived.

Any payments made for indemnification under this Article 5 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price, provided however that, if and to the extent that any payments are made to the Company directly, such payment shall be deemed contributions or loans of the Buyer to the Company and not impact the amount of the indemnification. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment of the Purchase Price in accordance with this Article 5.6 shall not reduce the Cap.

5.7	Specific Indemnities

Exhibit 99.2

Maxwell Technologies Completes Sale of its High Voltage Product Line to Renaissance Investment Foundation for $55.1 Million Plus Up to $15 Million in Future Pay-outs

Divestiture Signals Move to Heighten Focus on Energy Systems Technology for Electric Vehicles

San Diego, Calif. and Lausanne, Switzerland (December 19, 2018) – Max well Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXWL), a leading developer and manufacturer of energy storage and power delivery technology, today announced it has simultaneously signed and closed a definitive agreement to sell its High Voltage (HV) product line to Renaissance Investment Fou ndation.

Under terms of the agreement, Maxwell sold all shares of its Swiss subsidiary, Maxwell Technologies SA, and its CONDIS Ò line of high voltage capacitors for $55.1 million in cash and up to $15 million in potential future milestone payments to a special purpose holding entity and affiliate of Renaissance Investment Foundation (“Renaissance”). During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, its high voltage product line generated revenue of approximately $19.4 million for Maxwell, approximately 21% of the total revenue reported.

“This action was taken to put the necessary resources in place so Maxwell can better focus on and pursue the tremendous growth opportunities presented by the markets of auto, wind, rail and grid served by our Ultracapacitor technology as well as to properly support research and development efforts to advance our Dry Battery Electrode (DBE) technology,” said Dr. Franz Fink, Maxwell’s chief executive officer.

“It is becoming increasingly clear that our DBE technology holds significant advantages over currently available energy systems for electric vehicles (EV) and positions us for significant long-term value creation as a result. We felt the time was right to shift our focus to further develop disruptive technologies and energy systems that address burgeoning global markets, notably the dramatically expanding EV market,” Fink said. The International Energy Agency forecasts the number of EV’s on the road will grow from 3 million in 2017 to 125 million by 2030, a nearly 42X increase.

“While the decision to sell the HV business was difficult, it underscores Maxwell’s commitment to create long-term value driven by technologies that have the potential to dominate the markets they serve on a global basis. We remain steadfast in executing our plan and continue to explore all avenues to enhance shareholder value and improve our competitive position,” Fink added.

Maxwell is a company with an enviable tradition of creating innovative technology that holds notable competitive advantages for itself and those who employ it. This is very much the case with its Ultracapacitor technology in its Energy Storage product line, which has tallied significant design-wins while experiencing a growing sales pipeline, and remains a key component of the Company’s growth plans.

“This transaction is a win-win for Maxwell and Renaissance in that Maxwell is able to fuel their DBE development activities and we are able to add a business with a growth curve that fits well with our portfolio and investment approach,” said Xavier Paternot, managing partner at Renaissance. “Importantly, customers currently benefitting from their use of Maxwell HV products can rest assured performance and support, in all regards, will continue at a high level under the stewardship of Renaissance.”

An SEC Form 8-K containing pro forma financial information will be filed by Maxwell within four business days.
