Acquisition Prohibited; 120-Day Divestment
The President ordered that the acquisition of Jupiter Systems by Suirui International is prohibited and that Suirui and its affiliates must divest all interests and rights in Jupiter and its assets within 120 calendar days after the order (unless CFIUS extends that date). The order references the Transaction that completed on February 28, 2020 and directs divestment to be verified to the satisfaction of CFIUS.
IP/Souce Code Destruction or Transfer and Audit Verification
Upon divestment, the Purchasers must certify in writing that they have destroyed or transferred all intellectual property and non-public source code associated with Jupiter products that they were required to divest, and CFIUS is authorized to require auditing of the Purchasers and their affiliates (at no expense to CFIUS) to verify that destruction or transfer is complete.
Immediate Ban on Access to Sensitive Jupiter Materials
Immediately from the date of the order, Suirui, Suirui International, and their personnel and affiliates must refrain from accessing Jupiter's non-public source code, non-public technical information, IT systems, products, parts and components, books and records, or U.S. facilities until divestment is completed and verified. The Purchasers and Jupiter must put controls in place within 7 calendar days (unless CFIUS extends that date) to prevent the prohibited access.
Ban on Transfers That Would Impede Compliance
Until divestment is completed and verified, the Purchasers and Jupiter may not dissolve, reorganize, transfer ownership of Jupiter, or relocate, transfer, or sell assets in a way that would materially impede compliance with the order, including moving U.S.-located assets outside the United States or to the Jupiter Asia Companies.
Weekly Compliance Certifications and CFIUS Inspection Powers
From the date of the order until divestment is certified, the Purchasers and Jupiter must certify weekly to CFIUS that they are in compliance and describe divestment efforts and timelines. CFIUS is authorized to inspect premises, copy records, audit information systems, interview officers and employees, and must conclude verification procedures within 90 calendar days after divestment certification.
Buyer Notification and 30-Day CFIUS Review Requirement
The Purchasers may not complete a sale or transfer of the divested interests until they notify CFIUS in writing of the intended buyer and 30 calendar days have passed from that notification without CFIUS issuing an objection. CFIUS may consider buyer citizenship, relationships with the Purchasers, and the buyer's willingness and ability to comply with the order.
