Merger/Spin-off Reorganization Transaction

2. Merger/Spin-off Reorganization Transaction

 

The Transaction

 

On April 23, 2015, LookSmart, Ltd. (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company; a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Group”); Pyxis Tankers Inc. (“Pyxis”); and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pyxis (“Merger Sub”). If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which are subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company at a special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Company, are completed:

 

  The Company will further amend its Amended Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of its issued and outstanding common stock by a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-ten, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion;

 

  All of the business, assets and liabilities of the Company will have been transferred to Group, and holders of record of the Company’s common stock will receive a pro rata distribution of one share of Group’s common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock held as of the record date set for said distribution (the “Spin-Off”);

 

  The Company will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger and being a wholly owned subsidiary of Pyxis (the “Merger”); and

 

 

Each share of the Company’s common stock held by holders of record at the close of business on the date of the closing of the Merger will be cancelled and exchanged for the right to receive the number of share(s) of Pyxis common stock equal to $4,000,000 divided by a denominator equal to (i) the final closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock (post-Reverse Split) on the date of the closing of the Merger, multiplied by (ii) the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (post-Reverse Split) as of the date that the Merger becomes effective.

 

In addition, the Company and Pyxis have each agreed to take such actions as are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger and have made certain other customary covenants in the Merger Agreement. Among other things, the Company has agreed to the preparation and filing by Pyxis of a registration statement on Form F-4 in connection with the registration of the Pyxis’ common stock to be issued as result of the Merger, which registration statement will contain a joint proxy statement/prospectus to be sent to the stockholders of the Company.

 

The joint proxy statement/prospectus for the shareholder vote on the Merger has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the Staff of the SEC has returned comments thereon to the Company and Pyxis, which are preparing responses to these comments. Management of the Company believes that a special meeting of the Company’s shareholders to vote on the Merger transactions could be held as soon as September 2015.

 

As a result of the Merger, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Pyxis is expected to become a public company. Pyxis intends to apply to have its common stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market or the NYSE MKT under the symbol “PXS.”

Pyxis Tankers Inc.

 

Pyxis Tankers Inc. is a newly formed international maritime transportation company with a focus on the tanker sector. At the consummation of the Merger with the Company, Pyxis’ fleet will be comprised of six double hull product tankers with an average current age of four years and that are employed under a mix of short- and medium-term time charters and spot charters. Pyxis will acquire these six vessels prior to the Merger from an affiliate of its founder and chief executive officer, Mr. Valentios (“Eddie”) Valentis. Four of the vessels in the fleet will be medium-range, or MR, product tankers, three of which have eco-efficient or eco-modified designs and two will be short-range tanker sister ships. Each of the vessels in the fleet is capable of transporting refined petroleum products, such as naphtha, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel and fuel oil, as well as other liquid bulk items, such as vegetable oils and organic chemicals.

 

Spin-Off

 

Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company transferred all of its businesses, assets and liabilities to Group in anticipation of the Spin-Off of Group from the Company. Group has assumed all liabilities of the Company, and the liabilities of the Company’s former subsidiaries, and has agreed to indemnify Pyxis for losses relating to all of the liabilities of the Company and its former subsidiaries.

 

Upon completion of the Spin-Off, all of the Company’s shares of the common stock of Group shall be cancelled and Group shall be 100% owned by the Company’s stockholders of record as of the record date set for said distribution.

 

The Make Whole Record Date

 

In the event that subsequent to the Merger, Pyxis completes a financing which results in gross proceeds to Pyxis of at least $5,000,000 (a “Future Pyxis Offering”) at a valuation lower than the valuation ascribed to the shares of common stock received by the Company’s stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Consideration Value”), Pyxis will be obligated to make “whole” the Company’s stockholders as of April 29, 2015 (the “Make Whole Record Date”) by offering the Company’s stockholders the right to receive additional shares of Pyxis common stock to compensate the Company’s stockholders for the difference in value of their Pyxis common stock.

 

In addition, should Pyxis fail to complete a Future Pyxis Offering within a date which is 3 years from the date of the closing of the Merger, each holder of the Company’s common stock who has held such stock continuously from the date of the Make Whole Record Date until the expiration of such 3 year period (the “Legacy LS Stockholders”) will have a 24-hour option beginning at the end of the 3 year period to require Pyxis to purchase from such Legacy LS Stockholders a pro rata amount of Pyxis common stock that would result in aggregate gross proceeds to the Legacy LS Stockholders in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000; provided that in no event shall a Legacy LS Stockholder receive an amount per share greater than the Consideration Value.

 

Voting Agreement

 

In connection with their entry into the Merger Agreement, the Company, Pyxis and Michael Onghai, entered into a voting agreement, which is referred to herein as the “Voting Agreement.” The Voting Agreement generally requires that Mr. Onghai, in his capacity as a stockholder of the Company, vote all of his shares of the Company’s common stock in favor of the reverse split proposal, the spin-off proposal and the merger proposal, unless doing so would violate his fiduciary duties as an executive officer and member of the board of directors of the Company. Mr. Ongahi beneficially holds 3,123,047 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 54.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock over which he possesses voting rights and are therefore subject to the Voting Agreement.

 

Termination

 

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time for various reasons. In the event of proper termination by either the Company or Pyxis, the Merger Agreement will be of no further force or effect and the Merger will be abandoned, except that if the Merger Agreement is terminated due to (i) the proposals relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement not being approved, or (ii) a breach by the Company of its covenants, agreements or representations and warranties (and has not cured its breach within 30 days of the giving of notice of such breach), then the Company shall immediately repay Pyxis the $600,000 received upon execution of the Merger Agreement plus legal and accounting fees incurred by Pyxis (up to $450,000 in fees) (collectively, the “Break-up Fees”), and if the Merger Agreement is terminated because the board of directors of the Company withdraws its recommendation of the Merger or approves an alternative proposal or enters into a superior proposal, then in addition to the Break-up Fees, an additional fee of $450,000 shall also be paid to Pyxis.
