(“Merger Sub”), Peak Medical Corporation (“PMC”), and the stockholders of PMC identified therein, dated as of May 16, 2005, as amended on July 7, 2005 and on September 16, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged (the “Merger”) with and into PMC, with PMC surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger was completed on December 9, 2005. RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC held securities of PMC prior to the completion of the Merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon completion of the Merger, the outstanding securities of PMC held by RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC were converted into 2,958,583 and 2,969,324 shares of Common Stock of the Company, respectively. The purchase price for the PMC securities originally purchased by RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC was furnished from the investment capital of RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC contributed by their investors. No part of such purchase price was borrowed by such Reporting Persons for the purpose of acquiring such securities. No additional consideration was paid by RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC in connection with the conversion of securities of PMC into shares of Common Stock of the Company upon completion of the Merger.

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon completion of the Merger, 427,148 and 428,807 shares of Common Stock of the Company issued to RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC, respectively, were put into escrow (the “Escrow Shares”) in connection with certain indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement. The Escrow Shares are subject to release from escrow pursuant to the terms and provisions of an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), dated December 9, 2005, among the Company, James A. Parsons, acting as Stockholder Agent, and U.S. Trust Company of California, acting as Escrow Agent. Subject to certain adjustments and restrictions set forth in the Escrow Agreement (and assuming that no Escrow Shares are applied to satisfy indemnification obligations), one half of the Escrow Shares will be released on March 31, 2007 and the remaining half of the Escrow Shares will be released on December 9, 2007. So long as the Escrow Shares are held in escrow, RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC will have the right to vote such Escrow Shares but they have agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer such Escrow Shares during that time period.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

Each of RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC holds the Common Stock described in Item 5 of this Schedule 13D for investment purposes only.

 

Depending on prevailing market, economic and other conditions, each of RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC, subject to the terms and provisions of the Stockholders Agreement (as


Page 14 of 23

 

defined and described below), may from time to time acquire additional shares of the capital stock of the Company or engage in discussions with the Company concerning further acquisitions of shares of the capital stock of the Company or further investments in the Company. Each of RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC intends to review its investment in the Company on a continuing basis and, depending upon the price and availability of shares of Common Stock, subsequent developments affecting the Company, the Company’s business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to such Reporting Person, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors considered relevant, may decide at any time to increase or to decrease the size of its investment in the Company.

 

The outstanding securities of PMC held by RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC were converted into 2,958,583 and 2,969,324 shares of Common Stock, respectively, upon completion of the Merger on December 9, 2005, all as described in Item 3 above.

 

Stockholders Agreement - Board Representation. In connection with the Merger, RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC entered into a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2005, as amended on July 7, 2005 and on September 16, 2005 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), by and among the Company, certain stockholders of PMC and James A. Parsons, acting as Stockholders’ Agent, attached hereto as Exhibit C. Pursuant to the terms of Stockholders Agreement, certain investors are entitled to nominate persons to the Board of Directors of the Company, and each of the stockholders that are a party to the Stockholders Agreement agrees to vote his or its shares of Common Stock to elect such persons to the Board of Directors of the Company. RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC collectively are entitled to nominate one member to the Board of Directors of the Company; such designee on the Board of Directors is currently Michael J. Foster. At such time as RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC collectively cease to own at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock acquired by them in the Merger, RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC shall no longer have a right to nominate an individual to be a director of the Company and they shall cause the removal or resignation of its then current nominee director.

 

Stockholders Agreement - Voting Agreement. In the Stockholders Agreement, RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC agree that, so long as they are entitled to nominate a director to the Company’s Board of Directors, RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC collectively will, unless an Early Release Event (as defined below) occurs:

 

    solely with respect to the election of directors other than their nominee, vote and grant or withhold a written consent with respect to, all shares of Common Stock acquired by them in the Merger in proportion to the vote of stockholders of the Company, other than the former stockholders of PMC;

 

    not propose any matter to the Company’s Board of Directors or its stockholders that requires or contemplates the vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company or, except for their own nominee as discussed above, any nominee for election as directors of the Company;

 

    not acquire the beneficial ownership of any shares of the voting power of the Company, other than the shares of Common Stock acquired by them pursuant to the Merger; and

 

    not knowingly assist, advise or encourage any other person in acquiring, directly or indirectly, control of the Company or any of the Company’s securities, businesses or assets,

 

without, in each case, the prior approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.


Page 15 of 23

 

An “Early Release Event” is defined as the earliest to occur of:

 

    a Change of Control (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below));

 

    the early termination or waiver or amendment of the agreements with the senior executive officers of the Company not to sell or otherwise transfer any of their shares of Common Stock;

 

    the failure to elect a nominee of RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC or DFW Capital Partners, L.P. to the Company’s Board of Directors as described above (if RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC or DFW Capital Partners, L.P., as the case may be, has the right to designate a director nominee and has exercised such right) unless such failure is cured within 20 business days after written notice to the Company of such failure from RFE Investment Partners V and/or RFE VI SBIC or from DFW Capital Partners, L.P., as applicable;

 

    the Company shall institute any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding relating to itself under the laws of any jurisdiction; or the Company shall take any action to authorize any such proceeding; or any such proceeding shall be instituted against the Company and shall not be dismissed or discharged within 60 days after its commencement; or the Company shall admit all of the material allegations with respect to any such proceeding; or an order for relief or similar order shall be entered in any such proceeding; or the Company shall apply for the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar officer for itself or for all or substantially all of its property; or the Company shall take any action to authorize such appointment; or

 

    a material breach by the Company of any of the covenants of the Company contained in the Stockholders Agreement or in the Registration Rights Agreement unless such breach is capable of being, and is, cured within 20 business days after written notice to the Company of such breach.

 

Registration Rights Agreement - Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. In connection with the Merger, RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2005, as amended on July 7, 2005 (the “Registration Agreement”), by and among the Company, certain stockholders of PMC and James A. Parsons, acting as Stockholders’ Agent, attached hereto as Exhibit D. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC have agreed that, from the closing of the Merger to the earlier of the first anniversary of such closing and an Early Release Event (as defined above), neither RFE Investment Partners V nor RFE VI SBIC will sell or otherwise transfer any shares of Common Stock acquired by it in the Merger. In addition to the foregoing restrictions, RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC have agreed that, during the period from the first anniversary of the closing of the Merger until the third anniversary of such closing, neither RFE Investment Partners V nor RFE VI SBIC will sell or otherwise transfer shares of Common Stock acquired in the Merger that exceeds its respective Pro Rata Limit (as defined below). Each of RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC also has agreed that, in the absence of an Early Release Event, it will not knowingly sell or otherwise transfer shares of Common Stock acquired in the Merger constituting 2% or more of the total shares of Common Stock then outstanding to any one person or group. The Registration Rights Agreement also contains provisions dealing with distributions to the partners and members of RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC.


Page 16 of 23

 

A “Pro Rata Limit” is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement as a number of shares equal to (i) 4% of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock at any given time multiplied by (ii) the percentage obtained by dividing the total number of shares of Common Stock acquired in the Merger then collectively held by RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC, by the total number of shares of Common Stock acquired in the Merger then held by RFE Investment Partners V, RFE VI SBIC and DFW Capital Partners, L.P., taken as a whole.

 

Registration Rights Agreement - Registration Rights. The Company has agreed in the Registration Rights Agreement to provide certain registration rights to the former stockholders of PMC, including, without limitation, RFE Investment Partners V and RFE VI SBIC. These rights include “piggyback” registration rights, which means that the former stockholders of PMC have the right to register the sale of some or all of the shares of Common Stock acquired in the Merger if the Company proposes to allow shares held by other stockholders to be sold in an underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company also has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration statement covering the offer and sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired in the Merger. The Company also will be obligated to effect two underwritten public offerings of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Merger and then entitled to registration under the Registration Rights Agreement upon the request of the holders of a majority of those shares.

 

The foregoing summary of the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the agreements and transactions contemplated thereby is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, listed as Exhibits C and D hereto, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Except as set forth above in this statement, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (vi) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure; (vii) changes in the Company’s charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (viii) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (ix) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
