Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On October 1, 2021, SPX Corporation (the “Company”) completed the previously announced sale of SPX Transformer Solutions, Inc. (“Transformer Solutions”) pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 8, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with GE-Prolec Transformers, Inc. (the “Purchaser”) and Prolec GE Internacional, S. de R.L. de C.V. (the “Guarantor”). The Company has agreed to transfer all of the outstanding common stock of Transformer Solutions to the Purchaser for an aggregate cash purchase price of $645 million (the “Transaction”). The purchase price is subject to potential adjustment based on Transformer Solutions’ cash, debt and working capital on the date the Transaction was consummated, as well as for specified transaction expenses and other specified items.
As provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Purchaser for losses arising from certain breaches of the Purchase Agreement and other liabilities, subject to certain limitations. The Guarantor has provided a limited guarantee of certain obligations of the Purchaser under the Agreement. In connection with the closing of the Transaction, the parties also entered into certain ancillary agreements, including, among others, a transition services agreement.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company's Form 8-K filed on June 9, 2021 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Because the business of Transformer Solutions was classified as a discontinued operation in the Company's financial statements included in its Form 10-Q for the period ended July 3, 2021, a pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended July 3, 2021 is not provided.
