(“GenNx Capital”), GenNx360 GP, LLC (“GenNx GP”), GenNx360 Management Company, LLC (“GenNx Management”), Ronald E. Blaylock, Arthur H. Harper and Lloyd G. Trotter (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). A Joint Filing Agreement among the Reporting Persons is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. As a result of the existing relationships described under this Item 2 and Item 3 and the matters described in Item 4, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). However, neither this filing nor anything contained herein shall be construed as an admission that all or any of the Reporting Persons constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act. Each of the Reporting Persons is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the information concerning him or it contained herein, but is not responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the information concerning the others, except to the extent that he or it knows or has reason to believe that such information is inaccurate. Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of securities held by any person or entity other than, to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein, the various accounts under such Reporting Person’s management and control.
     Parent is a Delaware corporation. Purchaser is a Delaware corporation and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and has not engaged in any business except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement (defined in Item 4).
     All of the outstanding common stock of Parent is owned by GenNx Capital, a Delaware limited partnership.

     GenNx Management, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the investment manager of GenNx Capital.

None of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the entities or persons listed

 


 

Page 11 of 21

in Schedule A has, during the past five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), and (ii) none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the entities or persons listed in Schedule A has, during the past five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds
     Parent and Purchaser received a Commitment Letter from GenNx Capital, pursuant to which GenNx Capital agreed to provide funds to Parent and Purchaser sufficient to permit Parent and Purchaser to pay the consideration in the Offer (defined in Item 4) and the Merger (defined in Item 4) (the “Commitment Letter”). The Issuer has the right under certain circumstances to cause GenNx Capital to fund its capital commitment and cause Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (defined in Item 4). The Commitment Letter also includes GenNx Capital’s guarantee of certain monetary obligations that may be owed to the Issuer pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including funds that may be due to the Issuer in the event of a breach of the Merger Agreement.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
     On October 21, 2009, the Issuer, Parent and Purchaser entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Purchaser agreed to commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding Shares at $0.38 per Share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (the “Offer Price”), to each shareholder, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Offer set forth in the Merger Agreement. After consummation of the Offer, Purchaser will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), whereupon Purchaser’s separate corporate existence will cease and the Issuer will continue as the surviving corporation and as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
     In the Merger Agreement, the Issuer has granted to Purchaser an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase, at a price per Share equal to the Offer Price, at any time at or following acceptance for payment of the tendered Shares, that number of newly-issued Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lesser of (i) the number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares held of record by Parent and Purchaser at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes at least one Share more than 90% of the total Shares that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of all Shares subject to the Top-Up Option (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares) or (ii) the aggregate of the number of Shares held as treasury shares by the Issuer and its subsidiaries and the number of Shares that the Issuer is authorized to issue under its certificate of incorporation but that are not issued and outstanding (and are not reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options), subject to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Top-Up Option”). The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of these Shares.
     Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Europa International, Inc. and David Weiner (collectively, the “Principal Stockholders”), each entered into stockholder tender and support agreements, dated as of October 21, 2009 (the “Support Agreements”), with Parent and Purchaser. The Support Agreements provide, among other things, that each Principal Stockholder will, no later than three business days after receipt by such Principal Stockholder of the Letter of Transmittal and related materials pursuant to the terms of the Offer, validly tender all of such Principal Stockholder’s Shares and will not

 


 

Page 12 of 21

withdraw from the Offer any of such Principal Stockholder’s Shares. Each Principal Stockholder (i) agreed to vote the Shares held by such Principal Stockholder in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and in furtherance of the consummation of the Offer and the Merger and (ii) secured such Principal Stockholder’s voting obligation by granting an irrevocable proxy to the officers of Parent. As of October 21, 2009, the Principal Stockholders owned 6,252,633 Shares or approximately 21.9% of the outstanding Shares, including outstanding restricted stock.
     Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the time of the initial acceptance for payment by Purchaser of any validly tendered and not properly withdrawn Shares pursuant to the Offer, Purchaser will be entitled to designate for appointment to the board of directors of the Issuer a pro rata number of directors based upon the percentage that the Shares beneficially owned by Purchaser or any other subsidiary of Parent bears to the total number of Shares then-outstanding subject to the requirement that a minimum of two independent members of the current board of directors of the Issuer remain in office until consummation of the Merger. From and after the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) the directors of Purchaser will serve as directors of the Issuer, (ii) the officers of the Issuer immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the officers of the Issuer, (iii) the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer will be amended at the Effective Time to conform to the certificate of incorporation of Purchaser, and as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer as the surviving corporation and (iv) the by-laws of Purchaser in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the by-laws of the Issuer.
     The foregoing descriptions of each of the Merger Agreement, the Support Agreements and the Commitment Letter do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements. A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and is incorporated by reference into this Item 4. A form of the Support Agreement by and among Purchaser, Parent, the Issuer, Europa International, Inc. and David Weiner has been filed as Exhibit 3 hereto and is incorporated by reference into this Item 4. A copy of the Commitment Letter is filed as Exhibit 4 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
