Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

On April 21, 2013, Met-Pro Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CECO, Mustang Acquisition Inc. (“Merger Sub I”) and Mustang Acquisition II Inc.  (“Merger Sub II” and together with Merger Sub I, collectively, the “Merger Subs”), Delaware corporations which are wholly owned subsidiaries of CECO, providing for the merger of Merger Sub I with and into Met-Pro, followed by the merger of Met-Pro into Merger Sub II (collectively, the “Merger”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CECO.

As an inducement to Met-Pro to enter into the Merger Agreement, Met-Pro entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), dated as of April 21, 2013, with Phillip DeZwirek, Jason DeZwirek and Icarus Investment Corp. (collectively, the “Stockholders”).  The purpose of the Voting Agreement is to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each of the Stockholders has agreed to vote such Stockholder’s CECO Common Stock or otherwise cause such Stockholder’s CECO Common Stock to be voted: (i) in favor of the issuance of CECO Common Stock in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) against any action (1) that would result in a breach by CECO, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II of any their respective covenants, representations or warranties under the Merger Agreement, and (2) that could reasonably be expected to delay or materially interfere with the consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment of Met-Pro’s, CECO’s, Merger Sub I’s or Merger Sub II’s conditions under the Merger Agreement, including any change to the rights of any of CECO’s shares. In addition, each of the Stockholders has irrevocably granted to Met-Pro a proxy to vote such Stockholder's CECO Common Stock, and has appointed Met-Pro as such Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact until the termination or expiration of the Voting Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Voting Agreement also contains certain restrictions upon the transfer of the respective Stockholder’s CECO Common Stock. The Voting Agreement terminates upon the consummation of the Merger or the earlier termination of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement is described in Met-Pro Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 21, 2013, filed on April 22, 2013, and the foregoing descriptions of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
