Note Fourteen — Merger Agreement and Related Matters

On April 25, 2018, the company entered into the Merger Agreement with Parent, Acquisition Sub, and, solely for the purposes of Section 8.16 of the Merger Agreement, Guarantor. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Acquisition Sub agreed to commence a cash tender offer (the Offer) to acquire all of the shares of the company’s common stock (Common Stock) and the company’s 7% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) for a purchase price of (i) $2.70 per share of Common Stock, net to the holder thereof in cash (the Common Offer Price) and (ii) $7.80 per share of Preferred Stock, plus accrued and unpaid dividends payable thereon, if any, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), net to the holder thereof in cash (the Preferred Offer Price), each without interest.

The consummation of the Offer will be conditioned on (i)  the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock being validly tendered and not withdrawn from the Offer, prior to the expiration of the Offer, (when considered together with all other shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, if any, otherwise beneficially owned by Parent and Acquisition Sub) representing a majority of the outstanding shares of company capital stock, voting together as a single-class on an as-if converted to Common Stock basis, (ii) expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 in the United States (HSR Act), (iii) obtaining clearance of the Offer and Merger (as defined below) from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), (iii) receipt by the company of consents to the Offer and Merger from specified company customers and (iv) other customary conditions. The Offer is not subject to a financing condition. The parties have not yet received the clearance of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which is a condition to the offer. All other approvals and clearances from regulatory authorities and third parties that are conditions to the Offer have been obtained. The company expects to close the Merger in the second half of 2018.

Following the consummation of the Offer, subject to customary conditions, the Merger Agreement provides that Acquisition Sub will be merged with and into the company and the company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, pursuant to the procedure provided for under Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law without any additional stockholder approvals. In the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (other than shares owned by Parent, Acquisition Sub or the company, or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, shares held by the company in the company’s treasury or shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Common Offer Price or Preferred Offer Price, as applicable.

In connection with the Merger, all outstanding vested and unvested options to purchase Common Stock under the company’s 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (each such option, a Company Option) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, in exchange for the cancellation of each such Company Option, an amount in cash, without interest and less applicable tax withholdings, equal to (i) the Common Offer Price, less the per share exercise price of such Company Option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise in full of such Company Option (the Company Option Consideration). If the per share exercise price of any Company Option is equal to or greater than the Common Offer Price, such Company Option will be cancelled without cash payment.

In connection with the Merger, (i) each vested company restricted stock award outstanding, and each unvested company restricted stock award outstanding under the Company Stock Plan (each, a Restricted Stock Award and collectively, the Restricted Stock Awards) held by a holder holding less, in the aggregate, than 2,000 shares of Common Stock subject to such Restricted Stock Awards, will be cancelled and converted into a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (x) the amount of the Common Offer Price multiplied by (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such award and (ii) with respect to each unvested Restricted Stock Award held by a holder holding, in the aggregate, 2,000 or more shares of Common Stock subject to such unvested Restricted Stock Awards (x) 2,000 shares of Common Stock subject to such unvested Restricted Stock Awards shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount per share equal to the Common Offer Price and (y) the remaining shares subject to such unvested Restricted Stock Awards shall be assumed by Parent and converted into shares of restricted Guarantor American Depositary Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (collectively, the Restricted Stock Award Consideration).

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The company has agreed to refrain from engaging in certain activities until the effective time of the Merger. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed not to solicit or support any alternative acquisition proposals, subject to customary exceptions for the company to respond to and support unsolicited proposals in the exercise of the fiduciary duties of the board of directors of the company. The company will be obligated to pay a termination fee of approximately $4.454 million to Parent in certain circumstances following a termination of the Merger Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of the members of the company’s board of directors and the executive officers of the company, as well as certain stockholders of the company affiliated with members of the board of directors, each in their respective capacities as stockholders of the company, entered into a Tender and Support Agreement with Parent and Acquisition Sub (the Support Agreement), pursuant to which the signatories have agreed, among other things, to tender their respective shares of Common Stock (including those owned through the exercise or settlement of Company Options or Company Restricted Stock Awards) and Preferred Stock into the Offer and, during the period from the date of such Support Agreement through the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated and (ii) the effective time of the Merger, to not vote any of their securities in favor of any alternative acquisition proposals.

On April 25, 2018, the company entered into a second amendment to its loan agreement with CIBC. The amendment excludes certain expenses incurred in connection with the Merger from the calculation of adjusted EBITDA, and changes the adjusted EBITDA target for the second quarter of 2018. The amendment also requires the company to have liquidity as of the last day of each calendar month of at least $2.0 million. The foregoing description of the second amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the second amendment incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.2 to the company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 9, 2018.
