Item 2.01.      Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On August 27, 2014, Aegis Lifestyle, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Aegis”), completed the previously announced acquisition of ‘mktg, inc.’, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), through the merger of Morgan Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aegis (“Merger Sub”), with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aegis, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 27, 2014, by and among Aegis, Merger Sub and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”).

 

At the effective time of the Merger, except as set forth below, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares with respect to which appraisal rights were properly exercised and perfected under Delaware law, and any shares owned by the Company, Aegis, Company subsidiaries, Merger Sub or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of Aegis) was converted into the right to receive $2.80 per share in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), including all shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the Company’s Series D Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”), which were converted into the Company’s common stock prior to the Merger.

In addition, each of the Company’s warrants to purchase common stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was canceled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price with respect to such warrant.

As a result of the Merger, each vested and unvested outstanding stock option under the Company’s equity plans or otherwise were canceled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price with respect to such stock option; provided, however, that that certain option to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share issued to the Charles Horsey, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which vests only upon a “Liquidity Event,” was exchanged for the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price only with respect to 200,000 shares subject to such stock option. The remaining shares subject to such option were canceled without payment. Each restricted share of common stock under the Company’s equity plans that was outstanding as of the effective time of the Merger vested and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The payments pursuant to this paragraph are subject to any applicable withholding taxes.

 

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2014, which is incorporated by reference herein.
