ITEM 3.      SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

 

On February 27, 2002, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), with Sontra and CC Merger Corp, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”).  The following is a summary of the Merger Agreement.  This summary is not a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2 hereto and which is specifically incorporated by reference into this Schedule 13D.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was approved by the boards of directors of the Company, Sontra and Merger Sub, Merger Sub will merge with and into Sontra, with Sontra as the surviving corporation becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”) (Sontra following the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”).  On the closing date of the Merger, the outstanding shares of Sontra’s stock will be converted into the right to receive newly-issued shares of Company Common Stock based on an exchange ratio of 0.2347 of a share of Company Common Stock for each share of Sontra common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”), which Exchange Ratio is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as set forth in the Merger Agreement.  Based on this Exchange Ratio, the 32,162,829 shares of Sontra’s stock currently outstanding will be converted into the right to receive approximately 7,548,616 newly-issued shares of common stock of the Company on the closing date of the Merger.  This Exchange Ratio for the Merger is based on a value of approximately $0.50 per share for each share of Sontra common stock, which was the approximate price per share of stock sold in Sontra’s most recently completed round of venture financing, and a value of $2.13 per share for each share of Company Common Stock.  Upon the consummation of the Merger, the shareholders of Sontra will own approximately 71% of the Company and the Company’s shareholders will own approximately 29% of the Company.  Outstanding rights to purchase stock of Sontra will also be converted into the right to purchase common stock of the Company at the same Exchange Ratio.  No monetary consideration was paid by Sontra to the Company in connection with entering into the Merger Agreement or the CC Voting Agreement (as defined and more fully described below).

 

ITEM 4.      PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

As stated in Item 3, on February 27, 2002, the Company, Sontra and Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company and Sontra have agreed, subject to the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by the Company’s shareholders, Sontra’s shareholders, the right of the Company and/or Sontra to terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, and the satisfaction or waiver of various closing conditions, each as more fully described in the Merger Agreement, to effectuate the Merger in accordance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and as an inducement for Sontra to enter into the Merger Agreement, Sontra and the CC Shareholders also entered into a certain CC Voting Agreement (the “CC Voting Agreement”).  The following is a summary of the CC Voting Agreement.  This summary is not a complete description of the terms and conditions of the CC Voting Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the CC Voting Agreement. The form of the CC Voting Agreement that was executed by the parties is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and such CC Voting Agreement is specifically incorporated by reference into this Schedule 13D.  Pursuant to the CC Voting Agreement, the CC Shareholders have agreed to vote all of the shares of Company Common Stock owned or acquired by them (the “Shares”) as follows: (i) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and any proposal or action which would, or could reasonably be expected to, facilitate the Merger, including approval of the issuance of the shares of capital stock of the Company to be issued in the Merger; (ii) against approval of any proposal made in opposition to or competition with consummation of the Merger and the Merger Agreement; (iii) against any merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Company with, sale of assets or stock of the Company to, or reorganization or recapitalization involving the Company with, any party other than Sontra as contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iv) against any liquidation, or winding up of the Company; and (v) against any other proposal or action which would, or could reasonably be expected to, impede, frustrate, prevent, prohibit or discourage the Merger.  The shared voting power of Sontra and the CC Shareholders pursuant to the CC Voting Agreement currently relates to 2,123,722 shares of Company Common Stock.  The CC Shareholders retain the right to vote their Shares in their discretion with respect to matters other than those identified in the CC Voting Agreement.  The CC Voting Agreement terminates upon the earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger shall become effective or (ii) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement.

Ulrich and Martin P. Sutter, who are currently members of Sontra’s board of directors, and GKohler and Wigley, who are currently members of the Company’s board of directors.  In addition, upon consummation of the Merger, the current members of Sontra’s board of directors will remain as members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation.  No members of the board of directors of Merger Sub will continue as directors of the Surviving Corporation.  In addition, upon consummation of the Merger, it is anticipated that Mr. McNab will be the interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Surviving Corporation and that the other officers of Sontra will continue to perform their management roles in the Surviving Corporation as well as assume these roles with the Company.

ITEM 5.      INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

 

                    (a)-(b)   As a result of the CC Voting Agreement, each of Sontra and the CC Shareholders may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 2,123,722 shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by virtue of its direct or indirect right to direct the vote of the shares beneficially and collectively owned by CC Shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the CC Voting Agreement.  Such Company Common Stock constitutes approximately 66.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (based on 3,036,195 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as represented by the Company in the Merger Agreement and 166,341 shares of Company Common Stock that may become outstanding within 60 days upon the exercise of options.  Sontra has shared power to vote the Shares for the limited purposes described in Item 4 above.  Sontra does not have the sole or shared power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or to direct the disposition of any Shares, although Sontra does have the right to consent to transfers between CC Shareholders pursuant to the CC Voting Agreement.  Sontra (i) is not entitled to any rights as a shareholder of the Company as to the Shares covered by the CC Voting Agreement other than as set forth in this paragraph and (ii) disclaims any beneficial ownership of the Shares which are covered by the CC Voting Agreement.  To the best of Sontra’s knowledge, no shares of Company Common Stock are beneficially owned by any of the persons named in Exhibit 1.

GKohler has shared power to vote 2,123,722 shares of Company Common Stock for the limited purposes described in Item 4 above, which represents approximately 66.3% of the Company Common Stock assuming the exercise of options within 60 days.  GKohler does not share dispositive power with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock.  GKohler is not entitled to any rights as a shareholder of the Company for any shares of Company Common Stock, and GKohler disclaims any beneficial ownership of such shares, other than the 918,460 shares over which he has sole voting and dispositive power.

 

                Wigley has beneficial ownership, including the sole power to vote and to direct the disposition, of 448,666 shares of Company Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 14% of the Company Common Stock issued and outstanding assuming the exercise of options within 60 days.  The 448,666 shares of Company Common Stock includes 17,000 shares that are held by Wigley as custodian for his minor children and 261,666 shares of Company Common Stock which Wigley may acquire within 60 days upon exercise of options.  Wigley disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by his minor children.  Wigley has shared power to vote 2,123,722 shares of Company Common Stock for the limited purposes described in Item 4 above, which represents approximately 66.3% of the Company Common Stock assuming the exercise of options within 60 days.  Wigley does not share

FORM OF CC VOTING AGREEMENT

 

CC STOCK VOTING AGREEMENT

                                THIS STOCK VOTING AGREEMENT (“Stock Voting Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 27, 2002 by and among Sontra Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SM”), and each of the shareholders of ChoiceTel Communications, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“CC”), listed on Annex A and executing a counterpart signature page hereto (each, a “Holder”).

 

Recitals

 

                                Concurrently with the execution of this Stock Voting Agreement, SM, CC and CC Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CC (“CC Sub”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of February 27, 2002 (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of CC Sub with and into SM (the “Merger”).  As a result of the Merger, which is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the stockholders of SM will become shareholders of CC.  Holder is the holder of record and the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) of the number of shares of the capital stock of CC indicated on the counterpart signature page of this Stock Voting Agreement (the “Shares”).  As a condition to SM’s execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, SM has requested that each Holder agree, and in consideration, and to induce the execution and delivery, of the Merger Agreement, each Holder is willing to agree (i) except as specifically permitted hereby, not to transfer or otherwise dispose of the Shares or any other shares of capital stock of CC acquired after the date of this Stock Voting Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) (“New Shares”) and (ii) to vote the Shares and any New Shares so as to facilitate consummation of the Merger, as more fully described below.

 

                                NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

Agreement

Section 1                No Transfer or Encumbrance of Shares.  Each Holder agrees not to sell, pledge, assign, encumber, dispose of or otherwise transfer (including by merger, testamentary disposition, interspousal disposition pursuant to a domestic relations proceeding or otherwise by operation of law) (“transfer”) any of the Shares or any New Shares, or to make any offer or agreement relating to the transfer of Shares or New Shares at any time prior to the Expiration Date.  The foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit a transfer of Shares or New Shares (i) in the case of an individual, to any member of his immediate family, to a trust for the benefit of Holder or any member of his immediate family or a transfer of Shares or New Shares upon the death of Holder, (ii) between Holders in private transactions with the prior written consent of SM (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), or (iii) in the case of a partnership or limited liability company, to one or more partners or members or to an affiliated corporation, provided, however, that any transferee with respect to such transfer shall, as a precondition to such transfer, agree to

 

 



 

be bound by the terms and conditions of this Stock Voting Agreement by executing the counterpart signature page hereto. For purposes of this Stock Voting Agreement, “immediate family” means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.  Each Holder agrees that any New Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Stock Voting Agreement to the same extent as if such shares constituted Shares.

 

Section 2                Termination.  This Stock Voting Agreement shall expire on the earlier of (a) the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger and (b) the date on which the Merger Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Merger Agreement (the “Expiration Date”).

 

Section 3                Agreement to Vote Shares.  Each Holder hereby agrees to appear, or cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to appear in person or by proxy for the purpose of obtaining a quorum at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of CC, and at any adjournment thereof at which matters relating to the Merger, the Merger Agreement or any transaction contemplated thereby are considered.  At every meeting of the CC shareholders called with respect to any of the following, and at any adjournment thereof, and with respect to every action or approval by written consent of CC shareholders solicited with respect to any of the following, each Holder shall vote the Shares and any New Shares:

 

(a)           in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and any proposal or action which would, or could reasonably be expected to, facilitate the Merger, including approval of the issuance of the shares of capital stock of CC to be issued in the Merger;

 

(b)           against approval of any proposal made in opposition to or competition with consummation of the Merger and the Merger Agreement;

 

(c)           against any merger, consolidation or other business combination of CC with, sale of assets or stock of CC to, or reorganization or recapitalization involving CC with, any party other than SM as contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

 

(d)           against any liquidation, or winding up of CC; and

 

(e)           against any other proposal or action which would, or could reasonably be expected to, impede, frustrate, prevent, prohibit or discourage the Merger (each of (b) through (e) collectively, an “Opposing Proposal”).

 

Each Holder of Shares, as the holder of voting stock of CC, shall be present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of shareholders of CC so that all Shares and New Shares are counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings.  The provisions of this Stock Voting Agreement are intended to bind the Holders only with respect to the specific matters set forth herein, and shall not prohibit any Holder from acting in accordance with any fiduciary duties of such Holder as an officer or director of CC.

 

 



 

Section 4                Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Each Holder.  Each Holder hereby represents, warrants and covenants to SM as follows:

 

(a)           Ownership of Shares.  Holder (i) is the holder of record and beneficial owner of the Shares and will be the holder of record and beneficial owner of all New Shares, if any, which at the date hereof and at all times until the Expiration Date will be free and clear of any liens, claims, options, charges or other encumbrances that would interfere with the voting of the Shares or the granting of any proxy with respect thereto, (ii) does not beneficially own any shares of capital stock of CC other than the Shares (except to the extent that Holder currently disclaims beneficial ownership in accordance with applicable law) and (iii) has full power and authority to make, enter into, deliver and carry out the terms of this Stock Voting Agreement.

 

(b)           No Voting Trusts and Agreements.  Between the date of this Agreement and the Expiration Date, Holder will not, and will not permit any entity under Holder’s control to, deposit any Shares or New Shares held by Holder or such entity in a voting trust or subject any Shares or New Shares held by such Holder or such entity to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares of capital stock, other than agreements contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including, without limitation, that certain Voting Agreement to be executed by and among Michael Wigley, Gary S. Kohler and certain stockholders of SM providing for the election of Messrs. Wigley and Kohler to the Board of Directors of CC).

 

(c)           Validity; No Conflict.  This Stock Voting Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Holder.  Neither the execution of this Stock Voting Agreement by Holder nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will violate or result in a breach of (i) any provision of any trust, charter, partnership agreement or other charter document applicable to Holder, (ii) any agreement to which Holder is a party or by which Holder is bound, (iii) any decree, judgment or order to which Holder is subject, or (iv) any law or regulation now in effect applicable to Holder.

 

(d)           No Proxy Solicitations.  Subject to the last sentence of Section 2, between the date of this Agreement and the Expiration Date, Holder will not, and will not permit any entity under Holder’s control, to (i) solicit proxies or become a “participant” in a “solicitation” (as such terms are defined in Rule 14A under the Exchange Act) with respect to an Opposing Proposal or otherwise encourage or assist any party in taking or planning any action which would compete with, restrain or otherwise serve to interfere with or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, (ii) initiate a shareholders’ vote or action by written consent of shareholders without a meeting with respect to an Opposing Proposal or (iii) become a member of a “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of CC with respect to an Opposing Proposal.

 

 



 

Section 5                Representations, Warranties and Covenants of SM.  SM represents, warrants and covenants to the Holders as follows:

 

(a)           Due Authorization.  This Stock Voting Agreement has been authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of SM and has been duly executed by a duly authorized officer of SM.

 

(b)           Validity; No Conflict.  This Stock Voting Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of SM.  Neither the execution of this Stock Voting Agreement by SM nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will violate or result in a breach of (i) any agreement to which SM is a party or by which SM is bound, (ii) any decree, judgment or order to which SM is subject, or (iii) any law or regulation now in effect applicable to SM.

 

Section 6                Additional Documents.  SM and each Holder hereby covenants and agrees to execute and deliver any additional documents necessary or desirable, in the reasonable opinion of SM’s or such Holder’s legal counsel, as the case may be, to carry out the intent of this Stock Voting Agreement.

 

Section 7                Consent and Waiver.  Each Holder hereby gives any consent or waiver reasonably required for the consummation of the Merger under the terms of any agreement to which such Holder is a party.

 

Section 8                Termination.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, this Stock Voting Agreement and all obligations of the Holders hereunder shall terminate as of the Expiration Date.

 

Section 9                No Solicitation.

 

(a)           Until the Expiration Date, no Holder will, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or induce the making, submission or announcement of any CC Takeover Proposal (as defined below), (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any person regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiry or proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any CC Takeover Proposal, (iii) authorize, approve or recommend any CC Takeover Proposal, or (iv) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract, agreement or commitment accepting or providing for any CC Takeover Proposal.

 

(b)           Each Holder will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions, negotiations, exchanges of information and other activities with respect to any CC Takeover Proposal.  For purposes of this Agreement, “CC Takeover Proposal” means any offer or proposal for, or any indication of interest in, a merger or other business combination involving CC or the acquisition of twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of capital stock of CC, or all or substantially all of the assets of CC or any asset of CC, the absence of which would materially diminish the value of the Merger to SM or the benefits expected by SM to be realized from the Merger (other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement), or any transaction in

 



 

which the shareholders of CC immediately prior to the transaction hold less than a majority of the outstanding capital stock of CC immediately following such transaction, or any other transaction inconsistent with consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

Section 10              Confidentiality.  Each Holder agrees (i) to hold any information regarding this Agreement and the Merger in strict confidence and (ii) not to divulge any such information to any third person, except to the extent any of the same is hereafter publicly disclosed by SM.

(a)           Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Stock Voting Agreement (i) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable for any reason, or (ii) would preclude the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such term, provision, covenant or restriction shall be modified or voided, as may be necessary to achieve the intent of the parties to the extent possible, and the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Stock Voting Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

 

(b)           Binding Effect and Assignment.  This Stock Voting Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, neither this Stock Voting Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of the parties hereto may be assigned by either of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other, and any attempted assignment thereof without such consent shall be null and void.

 

(c)           Amendments and Modifications.  This Stock Voting Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented prior to the Merger except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by SM and a two-thirds majority in interest of the Holders.

 

(d)           Specific Performance: Injunctive Relief.  The parties hereto acknowledge that CC will be irreparably harmed by a breach of any of the covenants or agreements of the Holders set forth herein and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for such a breach.  Therefore, it is agreed that, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to SM upon such breach, SM shall have the right to enforce such covenants and agreements by specific performance, injunctive relief or by any other means available to it at law or in equity.

 

(e)           Notices.  All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and sufficient if delivered in person, by commercial overnight courier service, by confirmed telecopy, or sent by mail (registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested), to the respective parties as follows:
