PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

MERGER PROPOSED - YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

Dear Shareholder:
 
You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the shareholders of Superclick, Inc. (“Superclick” or the “Company”), to be held at the Hyatt Regency Montreal, located at 1255 Jeanne-Mance, Montreal, Quebec H5B 1E5 on Thursday, December 15, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
 
As we previously announced, on September 23, 2011, Superclick entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”) with AT&T Corp. (“AT&T” or “Parent”) and SC Acquisition Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Superclick, upon the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, with Superclick surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T.  If the merger is completed, you will be entitled to receive $0.268 in cash, without interest, for each share of Superclick common stock you own as of the time the merger becomes effective. The Superclick board of directors has determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are advisable to, fair to and in the best interests of Superclick shareholders.
 
Our board of directors is soliciting your vote to amend Superclick’s Articles of Incorporation to clarify the number of votes necessary to approve certain corporate actions, including the merger. Superclick’s board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt and approve the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.
 
An affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding as of close of business on October 18, 2011, the record date of the special meeting, is required to approve the merger agreement. The Superclick board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the merger agreement.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission recently adopted rules that require us to seek a non-binding advisory vote with respect to certain payments that will or may be made to Superclick’s executive officers in connection with the merger. Accordingly, at the special meeting, you will also be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the “golden parachute” compensation that certain executive officers of Superclick will or may receive in connection with the merger. For purposes of this proposal, “golden parachute” compensation is any type of compensation, whether present, deferred or contingent, that is based on or otherwise relates to the proposed merger pursuant to the arrangements entered into with Superclick. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the special meeting, and entitled to vote on the proposal, and actually voting, on the proposal, is required to approve this proposal. The Superclick board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the “golden parachute” compensation that will or may be received by certain executive officers of Superclick in connection with the merger.
 
 
 

 
 
Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares of Superclick common stock you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please complete, sign, date and return, as promptly as possible, the enclosed Proxy Card to us. If you fail to vote your shares or abstain from voting, it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposals to approve the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement.  A failure to vote or an abstention will have no effect on the proposal regarding “golden parachute” compensation. If you attend the special meeting, you may vote in person even if you previously returned your Proxy.
 
If your shares of common stock are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee will be unable to vote your shares of Superclick common stock without instructions from you. You should instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares of Superclick common stock in accordance with the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. The failure to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares of Superclick common stock “FOR” the proposals to approve the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposals to approve the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement.
 
The accompanying proxy statement contains information about the merger, Superclick, the special meeting, the merger agreement and the plan of merger. You are encouraged to read carefully the accompanying proxy statement in its entirety.
 
Our board of directors and management appreciate your support of Superclick and we hope you will support this transaction.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Todd M. Pitcher
Chairman and Secretary
 
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the merger, passed upon the merits or fairness of the merger or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the disclosure in this proxy statement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
 
The proxy statement is dated October[____], 2011 and, together with the accompanying proxy card, is first being mailed to Superclick shareholders on or about October[____], 2011.

Only shareholders who hold shares of Superclick common stock at the close of business on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 will be entitled to vote at the special meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. A list of shareholders entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available in Superclick’s’ office located at 10222 St. Michel, Montreal, Quebec H1H 5H1, during regular business hours for a period not less than ten days before the special meeting, as well as at the place of the special meeting during the special meeting.
 
For the security of everyone attending the special meeting, a shareholder must present photo identification to be admitted to the special meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting in person, please vote in advance by marking, signing, dating and returning the proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope. If your shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote at the meeting, you must instruct your broker, banker or other nominee how to vote your shares of Superclick common stock in accordance with the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee.
 
 
By Order of the Board of Directors,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER
 
The following questions and answers are intended to address briefly some commonly asked questions regarding the Superclick special meeting of shareholders and the proposed merger. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you as a Superclick shareholder. To better understand these matters, and for a description of the legal terms governing the merger, you should carefully read this entire proxy statement, including the annexes and the documents to which we refer in this proxy statement.  See “Where You Can Find More Information.”
 
Unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, in this proxy statement, all references to “AT&T” refer to AT&T Corp.; all references to “Merger Sub” refer to SC Acquisition Co., a subsidiary of AT&T; all references to “Superclick” or “Company” refer to Superclick, Inc. and its subsidiaries; all references to the “merger agreement” refer to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 23, 2011, by and among Superclick, AT&T and Merger Sub, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement, as it may be amended from time to time; all references to the “merger” refer to the merger contemplated by the merger agreement; all references to the “record date” refers to October 18, 2011; all references to the “Voting Shareholders” refer to Sandro Natale, Paul Gulyas, George Vesnaver, Ronald Fon, Enrico Demarin and Jean Perrotti, who together own approximately 9.7% of the outstanding shares of Superclick common stock.
 
Q: Why am I receiving this document?
 
A: Superclick and AT&T have agreed to a merger between Superclick and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Superclick will become a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T and will cease to be a publicly held corporation. Our board of directors is providing this proxy statement to give you information for use in determining how to vote in connection with the special meeting of shareholders. In order for the companies to complete the merger, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Superclick common stock must vote to adopt the merger agreement. Superclick is holding a special meeting of shareholders solely to obtain such shareholder approval.
 
This document is being delivered to you as a proxy statement of Superclick by which the Superclick board of directors is soliciting proxies from you to vote on the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the adoption of the merger agreement, and on an advisory non-binding basis for compensation arrangements for certain of Superclick’s executive officers in connection with the merger at the special meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting.
 
Q: What is the proposed transaction for which I am being asked to vote?
 
A: You are being asked to vote on the following proposals:
 
 
·
to approve the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation;
 
 
·
to approve the merger agreement among Superclick, AT&T and Merger Sub, and the related plan of merger;
 
 
2

 
 
 
·
to approve, solely on a non-binding, advisory basis, “golden parachute” compensation that certain executive officers of Superclick will or may receive in connection with the merger under their existing agreements with Superclick; and
 
 
·
to approve the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to approve the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement at the time of the special meeting.
 
Q: If the merger is completed, what will I receive for my shares of Superclick stock?
 
A: Upon completion of the merger, each share of Superclick common stock that is issued and outstanding will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $0.268 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”).  See “The Merger Agreement – Merger Consideration” and “The Merger Agreement – Treatment of Superclick Stock Options.”
 
Q: How did you determine the Merger Consideration to be paid to holders of Superclick stock?
 
A: The Merger Consideration was determined as a result of arm’s length negotiations between Superclick and Superclick’s board of directors, on the one hand, and the management of AT&T, on the other hand.
 
Q: What will happen to Superclick as a result of the merger?
 
A: The merger will be accomplished through a merger of Merger Sub, with and into Superclick, with Superclick surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T. As a result of the merger, Superclick’s common stock will be cancelled and will no longer be publicly traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
 
Q: Why did the Superclick board of directors approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger?
 
A: To review the Superclick board of directors’ reasons for recommending and approving the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, see “The Merger – Reasons for the Merger – Superclick’s Reasons for the Merger.”
 
Q: How does the Superclick board of directors recommend that I vote?
 
A: After careful consideration, our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation.  The Superclick board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” the proposal to approve the merger agreement, “FOR the proposal to approve the “golden parachute” compensation that certain executive officers of Superclick will or may receive in connection with the merger under their existing agreements with Superclick, and “FOR” the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if determined necessary and appropriate by Superclick to facilitate the approval of the merger agreement, including the solicitation of additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting.

Q: Is the approval of shareholders necessary to adopt the merger agreement?
 
A: Approval of the merger agreement requires approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Superclick common stock, voting together as a single class. On September 23, 2011, each of Sandro Natale, Paul Gulyas, George Vesnaver, Ronald Fon, Enrico Demarin and Jean Perrotti (collectively, the “Voting Shareholders”), who together owned approximately 9.7% of the outstanding shares of Superclick common stock as of October 18, 2011, the record date established for the special meeting, entered into a voting agreement with the Company and  AT&T.  Under the voting agreements, the Voting Shareholders agreed to vote all of their shares of Superclick common stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement at any meeting of, or in connection with any proposed action by written consent of, Superclick shareholders at or in connection with which any of Superclick shareholders vote or execute consent with respect to the approval and adoption of the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. To secure their duties under the voting agreements, each of the Voting Shareholders irrevocably appointed an officer of AT & T as such Voting Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in –fact, with full power of substitution and re-substitution to vote or execute consents, with respect to the shares of Superclick common stock owned by such Voting Shareholder. A voting agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (1) the closing of the merger, (2) any amendment to the merger agreement to decrease the merger consideration or otherwise alter the merger agreement in a manner  adverse to the Voting Shareholder in any material respect that has not been approved by such Voting Shareholder and (3) the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms. A copy of the form of voting agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex C. These shareholders’ votes are not sufficient under Washington law to adopt the merger agreement.  See “Voting Agreement.”
 
Q: When and where will the special meeting be held?
 
A: The special meeting is scheduled to be held on December 15, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. EST located at Hyatt Regency Montreal, located at 1255 Jeanne-Mance.
 
Q: Who is entitled to vote at the special meeting?
 
A: The Superclick board of directors has fixed October 18, 2011 as the record date for the special meeting. If you were a Superclick shareholder as of the close of business on the record date, you are entitled to vote your Superclick shares at the special meeting.
 
Q: How many votes do I have?
 
A: You are entitled to one vote at the special meeting for each share of Superclick common stock that you owned as of the record date.  As of the close of business on the record date, there were 45,959,870 outstanding shares of Superclick common stock.
 
Q: What constitutes a quorum?
 
A: Shareholders who hold at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Superclick common stock as of the close of business on the record date must be present, either in person or represented by proxy, in order to constitute a quorum to conduct business at the special meeting.
 
 
4

 
 
Q: What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record or in “street name”?
 
A: If your shares are registered directly in your name with Superclick’s transfer agent, First American Stock Transfer, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “shareholder of record.” If you are a shareholder of record, this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card have been sent directly to you by Superclick.
 
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.”  This proxy statement has been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record.  As the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card provided to your broker, bank or other nominee with this proxy statement. If you do not provide instructions on how to vote your shares to your broker, bank or other nominee, your shares will not be voted at the special meeting.  This will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement.
 
Q: How do I vote my shares at the special meeting?
 
A: If you are entitled to vote at the special meeting and you hold your shares in your own name, you can submit a proxy or vote in person by completing a ballot at the special meeting. However, in order to ensure your vote is counted if you are not able to attend the special meeting, Superclick encourages you to submit a proxy before the special meeting, even if you plan to attend the special meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may submit a proxy for your shares by completing signing and dating the enclosed proxy card and mailing it in the pre-paid envelope included with these proxy materials. If your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee, you may direct your broker, bank or other nominee to provide you with these materials.
 
Q: If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, will my broker automatically vote my shares for me?
 
A: No. If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank or other nominee, you must instruct the broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides to you with these materials.
 
Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal to adopt the merger agreement.  The broker may still register your shares as being present a the special meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but without your specific authorization, your shares will not be voted in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement or on any other matters over which brokers lack discretionary authority.  This is called a broker non-vote.  A broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the adoption of the merger agreement.
 
If you hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee and wish to vote your shares in person at the special meeting you must obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee and present it to the inspector of elections with your ballot when you vote at the special meeting.
 
 
5

 
 
Q: How will my proxy be voted?
 
A: If you vote by completing, signing, dating and mailing your proxy card or voting instruction card, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions.  If you are a shareholder of record and you sign, date and return your proxy card but do not indicate how you want to vote or do not indicated that you wish to abstain, your shares will be voted “IN FAVOR” of the adoption of the merger agreement.
 
Q:  What vote is needed to approve and adopt the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Superclick and the merger agreement?
 
A:  The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock is required to approve and adopt the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement.
 
Q: Why is Superclick asking that it shareholders approve, under an advisory non-binding basis, compensation arrangements for certain Superclick executive officers?
 
A: Rules recently adopted by the SEC require that Superclick provides its shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory non-binding basis, the compensation arrangements between Superclick and certain executive officers that are based on or that otherwise relate to the merger.  The approval of these compensation arrangements is not a condition to completion of the merger and the vote with respect to this proposal is advisory only.  Accordingly, the vote will not be binding on Superclick or its board of directors.
 
Q: What vote is needed to approve the advisory non-binding proposal relating to certain merger related executive compensation arrangements for certain of Superclick executive officers?
 
A: The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting, and entitled to vote on the proposal, and actually voting on the proposal, is required to approve the advisory non-binding proposal related to the certain merger related executive compensation arrangements.
 
Q: Can I attend the special meeting?
 
A: All Superclick shareholders as of the close of business on the record date may attend the special meeting by showing photo identification and signing in at the special meeting. If you are a shareholder of record (i.e., your shares are held in your name), you must list your name exactly as it appears on your stock ownership records from First American Stock Transfer. If you hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, you must also provide a copy of your latest bank or broker statement showing your ownership as of the close of business on the record date.
 
Q: Can I change my vote after I have submitted a proxy or voting instruction card?
 
A: Yes. If you are a shareholder of record you can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the special meeting. You can do this in one of three ways:
 
 
·
You can send a signed notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of Superclick;
 
·
You can submit a revised proxy bearing a later date; or
 
 
6

 
 
 
·
You can attend the special meeting and vote in person, which will automatically cancel any proxy previously given, or you may revoke your proxy in person, but your attendance alone will not revoke any proxy that you have previously given.
 
If you choose either of the first two methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy no later than the beginning of the special meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you may submit new voting instructions by contracting your broker, bank or other nominee. You may also vote in person at the special meeting if you obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee and present it to the inspectors of election with your ballot when you vote at the special meeting.
 
Q: Will the Merger Consideration I receive in the merger increase if the results of operations of Superclick improve or if the market price of Superclick common stock increases?
 
A: No. The Merger Consideration payable for each share of Superclick common stock at closing is fixed at $0.268 in cash, without interest, and the payment received at closing will not change regardless of the results of operations of Superclick or the price of publicly traded common stock of Superclick.
 
Q: What happens if the merger is not completed?
 
A: If the merger is not adopted by Superclick shareholders or if the merger is not completed for any other reason, you will not receive any payment for your shares of Superclick common stock in connection with the merger.  Instead, Superclick will remain an independent public company and its common stock will continue to be traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. If the merger agreement is terminated under specified circumstances, Superclick may be required to pay AT&T a Termination Fee of $500,000.  See “The Merger Agreement – Termination Fees and Expenses.”
 
Q: When is the merger expected to be completed?
 
A: Superclick is working hard to complete the merger as quickly as practicable.  A number of conditions must be satisfied before we can complete the merger, including the approval of the adoption of the merger agreement by Superclick shareholders. We anticipate that the merger will be completed by December 31, 2011.  However, we cannot predict the exact timing of the completion of the merger or guarantee that the merger will be completed. AT&T or Superclick may terminate the merger agreement if the merger has failed to occur nine (9) months from September 23, 2011 (the “Outside Date”) unless the failure to consummate the merger is a result of the negligence or willful failure or refusal to perform or observe in any material respect the covenants and agreements hereunder by the party seeking to terminate the merger agreement.  See “Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Merger” and “Merger Agreement — Termination.”
 
Q: Am I entitled to dissenters’ rights?
 
A:  Yes. Shareholders, who do not vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement, follow certain procedural steps and who hold their shares through the completion of the merger will be entitled to seek dissenters’ rights under Washington law in connection with the merger so long as they take all the steps required to perfect their rights under Washington law. See “Rights of Shareholders to Dissent.”

Q: What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Superclick shareholders of the merger?
 
A:  The receipt by a U.S. holder of cash in exchange for shares of Superclick common stock pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and may also be a taxable transaction under applicable state, local and foreign income or other tax laws). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. holder of Superclick common stock generally will recognize capital gain or loss at the time of the merger equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash in exchange for such Superclick common stock; and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Superclick common stock.
 
Because individual circumstances may differ, we strongly recommend that you consult your own tax advisors to determine the specific tax consequences to you of the merger. See “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
 
Q:  Should I send my Superclick common stock certificates now?
 
A:  No. After the completion of the merger, you will be sent a letter of transmittal and detailed instructions for exchanging your Superclick common stock certificates and any uncertificated or book-entry shares for the Merger Consideration.
 
Q:  Where can I find more information about Superclick?
 
A:  Superclick files periodic reports and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy this information at the SEC’s public reference facilities. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information about these facilities. This information is also available on the website maintained by the SEC, at www.sec.gov, and on Superclick’s website, at www.superclick.com.

Opinion of Financial Advisor to Superclick
 
Vantage Point Advisors
 
On September 11, 2011, at a meeting of the Superclick board of directors held to evaluate the merger, Vantage Point Advisors (“Vantage Point”), provided to Superclick’s board of directors an oral opinion, confirming a draft written opinion reviewed by the board of directors at the meeting and which in turn was confirmed by delivery of a final written opinion received September 23, 2011 and signed and dated September 26, 2011 (all identical in substance and form to the draft written opinion provided on September 11, 2011) that, as of the date of the opinion, and based upon and subject to the factors, assumptions and limitations set forth therein, the merger consideration to be received in the merger by holders of Superclick common stock was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.
 
The full text of the written opinion of Vantage Point to the Superclick board of directors, received September 23, 2011 and signed and dated September 26, 2011, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex E to this proxy statement.  Vantage Point provided its opinion to the Superclick board of directors for the benefit and use of the Superclick board of directors in connection with and for purposes of its evaluation of the Merger Consideration from a financial point of view.

The Merger
 
Description of the Merger
 
Under the merger agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Superclick, and Superclick will be the surviving corporation in the merger. As a result of the merger, Superclick will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T.  If Superclick shareholder approval is obtained and the other conditions to the merger are satisfied, Superclick anticipates that the merger will be completed by December 31, 2011.
 
Upon completion of the merger, each share of Superclick common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger, other than those held by shareholders who properly demand and perfect dissenters’ rights and, shares held in the treasury of Superclick, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $0.268 in cash as the Merger Consideration.
 
After the merger is completed and subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, you have the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but you will no longer have any rights as a shareholder of Superclick, including the right to institute a derivative lawsuit on behalf of the Company. In the case of shares of our common stock represented by certificates, you will receive your portion of the Merger Consideration as you are exchanging your stock certificates in accordance with the instructions contained in the letter of transmittal to be sent to you shortly after completion of the merger.  In the case of shares of our common stock held in book entry form, you will receive your portion of the Merger Consideration as you are exchanging your book-entry shares in accordance with the instructions contained in the letter of transmittal to be sent to you shortly after the merger.
 
Superclick’s Board of Directors’ Recommendation
 
Our board of directors has approved the (i) amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, (ii) the merger agreement and the merger, (iii) determined that the merger agreement and the terms and conditions of the merger are advisable, fair to and in the best interest of Superclick and our shareholders; and (iv) directed that the merger be submitted for approval and adoption at the special meeting of our shareholders and recommends that our shareholders vote for approval and adoption of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement.

·
the acquisition proposal was not solicited, initiated, knowingly encouraged or facilitated after the date of the merger agreement in breach of the prohibitions described above;

·
by AT&T if Superclick breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in the merger agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2 of the merger agreement , and (ii) is incapable of being cured or has not been cured by Superclick within sixty (60) calendar days after written notice of such breach or failure to perform has been given by AT&T to Superclick promptly upon discovery; provided, that AT&T shall not be entitled to terminate the merger agreement if it, at such time, is in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in the merger agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 of the merger agreement shall not be satisfied;

14

Voting Agreement
 
The Voting Shareholders, who together own approximately 9.7% of the outstanding shares of Superclick common stock as of October 18, 2011, the record date established for the special meeting, each has entered into a voting agreement with Company and AT&T.. Under the voting agreements the Voting Shareholders agreed to vote all of their shares of Superclick common stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement at any meeting of, or in connection with any proposed action by written consent of, Superclick shareholders at or in connection with which any of Superclick shareholders vote or execute consent with respect to the approval and adoption of the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, Each of the Voting Shareholders also agreed to:

appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the covered shares to be counted as present for purposes of calculating a quorum;
 
 
·
vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent covering, all of the covered shares (i) in favor of the adoption of the Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, the merger agreement and the transactions and any other action reasonably requested by AT&T in furtherance thereof, submitted for the vote or written consent of shareholders; (ii) against any action or agreement submitted for the vote or written consent of shareholders that is in opposition to, or competitive or materially inconsistent with, the transactions or that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Superclick contained in the merger agreement, or of the Voting Shareholder contained in the voting agreement; and (iii) against any acquisition proposal and against any other action, agreement or transaction submitted for the vote or written consent of shareholders that would likely be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage, frustrate the purposes of or adversely affect the transactions or the performance by Superclick of its obligations under the merger agreement or by Voting Shareholder of its obligations under the voting agreement; and.
 
 
15

 
 
 
·
not enter into at any time while the voting agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the covered shares, not grant at any time while the voting agreement remains in effect, a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to the covered shares and not knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Voting Shareholder untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling the Voting Shareholder from performing any of its obligations under the Voting Agreement.
 
In connection with the foregoing voting covenants and to secure their duties under the voting agreements, each of the Voting Shareholders irrevocably appointed an officer of AT & T as such Voting Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, to vote or execute consents, with respect to the shares of Superclick common stock owned by such Voting Shareholder..  Additionally, the Voting shareholders agreed, among other things, not to transfer their shares of Superclick common stock, subject to certain exceptions, or to solicit any acquisition proposal. A voting agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of:
 
 
·
The completion of the merger;
 
·
Any amendment  to the merger agreement to decrease  the merger consideration or otherwise alter the merger agreement in a manner  adverse to the Voting Shareholder in any material respect that has not been approved by such Voting  Shareholder; and
 
·
The termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms.
 
A copy of the form of voting agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex C. See “Voting Agreement.”
 
The vote of the Voting Shareholders is not sufficient under Washington law to adopt the merger agreement without the approval of any other shareholder of Superclick.
 
Executive Retention, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement
 
Effective as of the closing, Sandro Natale and Jean Perrotti, will enter into an executive retention non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with AT&T (“Non-Competition Agreement”), pursuant to which Messrs. Natale and Perrotti will be generally prohibited for one year after completion of the merger from engaging in certain competitive activities, including (i) soliciting certain customers of Superclick or an AT&T Party, (ii) soliciting or recruiting Superclick or AT&T employees, or (iii) owning or controlling an interest in a competitive enterprise, without the prior written consent of AT&T.
 
Additionally, Messrs.. Natale and Perrotti, have also agreed not to use or disclose, except as required by law or as directed by Superclick or AT&T, confidential information that is owned or held by Superclick as of the completion of the merger.  The Non-Competition Agreement will become effective as of the completion of the merger, but will have no force or effect if the merger agreement is terminated prior to the completion of the merger or if the merger is otherwise not completed.
 
A copy of the Non-Competition Agreement is attached as Annex D to this proxy statement. See “The Merger — Employment Agreements with Executive Officers.”

The Special Meeting
 
The shareholders of Superclick will hold a special meeting at the Hyatt Regency Montreal, located at 1255 Jeanne-Mance, Montreal, Quebec H5B 1E5 on December 15, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. local time, unless the special meeting is adjourned or postponed. At the special meeting, Superclick shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following:
 
 
·
the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation;
 
 
·
the adoption and approval of the merger agreement;
 
 
·
the approval of, on a non-binding advisory basis, compensation that certain executive officers of Superclick will or may receive in connection with the merger under their existing agreements with Superclick; and
 
 
·
any procedural matters incident to the conduct of the special meeting, such as adjournment of the special meeting.
 
Only shareholders listed on Superclick’s records at the close of business on October 18, 2011, the record date for the special meeting, are entitled to vote at the special meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 45,959,870 shares of Superclick common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting. See “Information about the Special Meeting” for more information on how to cast your vote at the special meeting.
 
The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock must be present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting for quorum to be present.  The proposal to approve and adopt the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding at the close of business on the record date.  The advisory non-binding proposal relating to certain merger related executive compensation arrangements for certain Superclick executive officers requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present and in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting, entitled to vote on the proposal, and actually voting on the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the proposal to approve and adopt the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement but will have no effect on the proposal to approve compensation to Superclick executive officers.
 
As of the record date, directors and executive officers of Superclick had the right to vote 5,044,543 shares of Superclick common stock, entitling them to collectively cast approximately 11% of the votes entitled to be cast at the special meeting.  As noted above, Sandro Natale, Paul Gulyas, George Vesnaver, Ronald Fon, Enrico Demarin and Jean Perrotti have agreed collectively to vote their shares of Superclick common stock in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement.
 
 
17

 
 
Regulatory Approvals
 
No regulatory approvals are required for the consummation of the merger agreement.
 
Dissenters’ Rights of Shareholders
 
Under Washington law, holders of Superclick common stock have the right to dissent from the merger, and will have the right to seek the fair value of their shares of Superclick common stock as determined by `Superclick, the shareholder or a Washington court if the merger is completed, but only if they comply with all applicable requirements of Washington law. This amount could be more than, the same as or less than the Merger Consideration. Among other requirements, any holder of Superclick common stock intending to exercise dissenters’ rights must not vote in favor of the merger and must submit a notice of intent to demand payment to Superclick before the vote on the merger at the special meeting. Your failure to strictly follow the procedures specified under Washington law will result in the loss of your dissenters’ rights. For a summary of the requirements for asserting and perfecting your dissenters’ rights, see “Rights of Shareholders to Dissent.”  The provisions of Washington law that address dissenters’ rights and govern the required procedures are attached as Annex F to this proxy statement. In the event of notices of intent to demand payment by holders of more than five percent (5%) of Superclick’s outstanding common stock for dissenters’ rights under Washington law, AT&T will not be obligated to close the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

The receipt by a U.S. holder of cash in exchange for shares of Superclick common stock pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and may also be a taxable transaction under applicable state, local, and foreign income or other tax laws). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. holder of Superclick common stock generally will recognize capital gain or loss at the time of the merger equal to the difference, if any, between:
 
 
·
The amount of cash and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Superclick common stock.
 
Tax matters can be complicated. Superclick shareholders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them of the merger.  See “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” for a more detailed discussion.

THE SPECIAL MEETING
 
This section contains information about the special meeting of Superclick shareholders, which we refer to as the special meeting that has been called to consider and act on the proposal to adopt the merger agreement.
 
Date, Time and Place of the Special Meeting
 
The shareholders of Superclick will hold a special meeting at the Hyatt Regency Montreal, located at 1255 Jeanne-Mance, Montreal, Quebec H5B 1E5 on December 15, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. local time, unless the special meeting is adjourned or postponed.
 
Purpose of the Special Meeting
 
At the special meeting we will ask holders of our common stock to approve and adopt an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement.  Our board of directors has approved resolutions approving the merger agreement and the merger determining that the merger agreement and the terms and conditions of the merger are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Superclick and our shareholders and directing that the merger and the merger agreement be submitted for approval and adoption at a special meeting of our shareholders.  Our board of directors recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation.  Our board of directors recommends that all of our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and that all of our shareholders vote “FOR” the advisory non-binding proposal regarding merger related executive compensation arrangements for certain of Superclick’s executive officers.
 
 
19

 
 
Record Date; Shares Entitled to Vote; Outstanding Shares
 
Only shareholders listed on Superclick’s records at the close of business on October 18, 2011, the record date for the special meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting, or any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 45,959,870 shares of Superclick common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting.  Each holder of Superclick common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Superclick common stock held as of the record date.
 
A complete list of Superclick shareholders entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for inspection at the principal place of business of Superclick during regular business hours for a period of no less than ten days before the special meeting, as well as the place of the special meeting during the meeting.
 
Ownership of Shares
 
If your shares are registered directly in your name with Superclick’s transfer agent, First American Stock Transfer, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “shareholder of record.” If you are a shareholder of record, this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card have been sent directly to you by Superclick.
 
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” This proxy statement has been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card included in the mailing.
 
Quorum
 
In order to transact business at the special meeting, a quorum of Superclick shareholders must be present. A quorum will exist if holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Superclick common stock as of the close of business on the record date are present in person, or represented by proxy, at the special meeting. The presence at the special meeting, either in person or by proxy, of the majority of shares entitled to vote will establish a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the special meeting may be adjourned to a later date.
 
Holders of shares of Superclick common stock present in person at the special meeting but not voting, and shares of Superclick common stock for which Superclick has received proxies indicating that their holders have abstained, will be counted as present at the special meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is established.
 
Vote Required
 
Provided a quorum of shareholders is present in person or by proxy at the special meeting, in order to amend and adopt the Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Superclick common stock must cast a vote in favor of the proposals.  Because approval is based on the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Superclick common stock, a Superclick shareholder’s failure to submit a proxy card or to vote in person at the special meeting or an abstention from voting, or the failure of a Superclick shareholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee to give voting instructions to such broker, bank or other nominee, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the adoption of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation and the merger agreement.
 
 
20

 
 
The advisory non-binding proposal relating to merger related executive compensation arrangements for certain of Superclick’s executive officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting entitled to vote on the proposal, and actually voting on the proposal.  Accordingly, not voting at the special meeting will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. The proposal to approve the compensation arrangements between Superclick and its named executive officers that are on or that otherwise relate to the merger is on an advisory non-binding basis.  Approval of these compensation arrangements is not a condition to the completion of the merger and the vote with respect to the proposal is advisory only.  Accordingly, the vote will not be binding on Superclick or its board of directors.
 
If there are not sufficient votes to adopt the merger agreement at the time of the special meeting, a majority of the votes present in person or by proxy (whether or not a quorum is present) may adjourn the meeting to another time and place in order to solicit additional proxies. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal to adjourn the special meeting. Shares not in attendance at the special meeting will have no effect on the outcome of any vote to adjourn the special meeting.
 
Recommendation of Superclick Board of Directors
 
Superclick`s board of directors has, on a unanimous basis determined that the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interest of, Superclick and its shareholders, adopted the merger agreement and declared advisable the merger.  Superclick’s board of directors unanimously recommends that Superclick shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal to adopt the merger agreement. See “The Merger — Reasons for the Merger.”
 
Superclick shareholders should carefully read this proxy statement in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger.  In addition, Superclick shareholders are directed to the merger agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement.
 
Voting by the Principal Shareholders
 
Each of the Voting Shareholders, who together own approximately 9.7% of the outstanding shares of Superclick common stock as of the record date, has entered into a voting agreement with AT&T and the Company. Under the voting agreements, the Voting Shareholders agreed to vote all of their shares of Superclick common stock in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement at any meeting of, or in connection with any proposed action by written consent of, Superclick shareholders  at or in connection with which any of Superclick shareholders vote or execute consent with respect to the approval and adoption of the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
 
 
21

 
 
Each of the Voting Shareholders also agreed to:
 
 
·
appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the covered shares to be counted as    present for purposes of calculating a quorum;
 
 
·
vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent covering, all of the covered shares (i) in favor of the adoption of the Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, the merger agreement and the transactions and any other action reasonably requested by AT&T in furtherance thereof, submitted for the vote or written consent of shareholders; (ii) against any action or agreement submitted for the vote or written consent of shareholders that is in opposition to, or competitive or materially inconsistent with, the transactions or that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Superclick contained in the merger agreement, or of the Voting Shareholder contained in the voting agreement; and (iii) against any acquisition proposal and against any other action, agreement or transaction submitted for the vote or written consent of shareholders that would likely be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage, frustrate the purposes of or adversely affect the transactions or the performance by Superclick of its obligations under the merger agreement or by Voting Shareholder of its obligations under the voting agreement; and.
 
 
·
not enter into at any time while the voting agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the covered shares,  not grant at any time while the voting agreement remains in effect, a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to the covered shares and  not knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Voting Shareholder untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling the Voting Shareholder from performing any of its obligations under the Voting Agreement.
 
In connection with the foregoing voting covenants and to secure their duties under the voting agreement, each of the Voting Shareholders irrevocably appointed an officer of AT&T as such Voting Shareholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, to vote or execute consents, with respect to the shares of Superclick common stock owned by such Voting Shareholder. A voting agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (1) the completion of the merger, (2) any amendment to the merger agreement to decrease the merger consideration or otherwise alter the merger agreement in a manner adverse to the Voting Shareholder in any material respect that has not been approved by such Voting Shareholder and (3) the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms. The Voting Shareholders’ votes are not sufficient under Washington law to adopt the merger agreement without the approval of any other shareholder of Superclick. See “Voting Agreement.”
 
Stock Ownership of, and Voting by, Superclick’s Directors and Executive Officers
 
As of the record date, directors and executive officers of Superclick had the right to vote 5,044,543 shares of Superclick common stock, entitling them to collectively cast approximately 11% of the votes entitled to be cast at the special meeting.  As noted above, the voting shareholders have agreed collectively to vote their shares of Superclick common stock in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement.
 
 
22

 
 
How to Vote
 
There are two ways for Superclick shareholders to vote:
 
Mail.  You can vote by mail by completing, signing, dating and mailing your proxy card or voting instruction card in the postage-paid envelope included with this proxy statement. Superclick must receive your proxy card no later than the close of business on November 29, 2011.
 
In Person.  In addition, all Superclick shareholders as of the record date may attend the special meeting and vote in person. You may also be represented by another person at the special meeting by executing a proper proxy designating that person. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you must obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee and present it to the inspectors of election with your ballot when you vote at the special meeting.
 
Voting of Shares Held in Street Name
 
If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank or other nominee, you must instruct the broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you with this proxy statement. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. This is referred to in this proxy statement and in general as a broker non-vote. In these cases, the broker, bank or other nominee can register your shares as being present at the special meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, but will not be able to vote your shares on those matters for which specific authorization is required. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal to adopt the merger agreement. Therefore, a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” adoption of the merger agreement.
 
Attending the Special Meeting
 
All Superclick shareholders as of the close of business on the record date may attend the special meeting by showing photo identification and signing in at the special meeting. If you are a shareholder of record (i.e., your shares are held in your name), you must list your name as it appears on your stock ownership records from First American Stock Transfer. Your proxy card will admit you and one guest. If you hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, you must also provide a copy of your bank, broker or other nominee statement showing your ownership as of the close of business on the record date.
 
Voting of Proxies
 
If you vote by completing, signing, dating and mailing your proxy card or voting instruction card, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you are a shareholder of record and you sign, date and return your proxy card but do not indicate how you want to vote or do not indicate that you wish to abstain, your shares will be voted “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement.
 
 
23

 
 
Revoking Your Proxy
 
If you are a shareholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the special meeting by:
 
 
·
Sending a signed notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of Superclick;
 
·
Submitting a revised proxy bearing a later date; or
 
·
Attending the special meeting and voting in person, which will automatically cancel any proxy previously given, or revoking your proxy in person, but your attendance alone will not revote any proxy that you have previously given.
 
If you choose either of the first two methods, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy no later than the beginning of the special meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares of Superclick common stock, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or other nominee. You may also vote in person at the special meeting if you obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee and present it to the inspectors of election with your ballot when you vote at the special meeting.
 
Solicitation of Proxies
 
This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Superclick board of directors to be voted at the special meeting.  Superclick will bear all costs and expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies, including the charges of brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees or fiduciaries for forwarding documents to security owners. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of Superclick’s directors, officers and employees by telephone, electronic mail, letter, facsimile or in person, but no additional compensation will be paid to them.
 
Shareholders should not send stock certificates with their proxies.  A letter of transmittal and instructions for the surrender of Superclick common stock certificates will be mailed to Superclick shareholders shortly after the completion of the merger.
 
Shareholders Sharing an Address
 
Consistent with notices sent to record shareholders sharing a single address, Superclick is sending only one copy of this proxy statement to that address unless Superclick received contrary instructions from any shareholder at that address. This “householding” practice reduces Superclick’s printing and postage costs. Shareholders may request to discontinue householding, or may request a separate copy of this proxy statement by one of the following methods:
 
 
·
Record shareholders wishing to discontinue or begin householding, or any record shareholder residing at a household address wanting to request delivery of a copy of this proxy statement should contact the Corporate Secretary at Superclick , Inc., 10222 St. Michel, Suite 300, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H1H 5H1; and
 
·
shareholders owning their shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record who wish to either discontinue or begin householding should contact their record holder.
 
 
24

 
 
Other Business
 
The Superclick board of directors is not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the special meeting.

Proposal 1
 
AMENDMENT TO SUPERCLICK’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
 
Currently Section 9.2 of our Articles of Incorporation reads as follows:
 
“Section 9.2   Number of Votes Necessary to Approve Actions.  Whenever the Washington Business Corporation Act permits a corporation’s articles of incorporation to specify that a lesser number of shares than would be otherwise required shall suffice to approve an action by shareholders, these articles of incorporation hereby specify that the number of shares required to approve such action shall be such lesser number.”
 
The Company believes that under Section 9.2  an affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the Superclick common stock in favor of the merger will approve the merger. However, in the interests of clarity the Company believes it useful to amend its Articles of Incorporation to specifically authorize such approval. Certain sections of the Act specifically permit any shareholder approvals to be for a lesser number of shares than are mandated by statute, provided such reduction is contained in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.  Specifically, 23 B.11.030,which sets forth the requirements for approval of a plan of merger, permits the Articles of Incorporation to require a greater or lesser number of votes than is provided in Subsection (5) thereof. In order to clarify the number of shares required to approve the merger we are hereby submitting an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to clarify that the actions under  RCW 23 B.10.030 (Amendment of Articles of Incorporation), RCW 23 B.11.030 (approval of a plan or share exchange), and RCW 23 B.12.020 (sale of assets other than in the regular course of business) of the Act requires the affirmative vote of the simple majority of all the shareholders entitled to vote on such matter.
 
Shareholders do not have any dissenters’, preemptive or similar rights with respect to the amendment of the articles of incorporation with respect to the amendment for which this proposal relates.
 
If adopted by the shareholders, the amendment will become effective when filed with the Washington Secretary of State as required by the Act.
 
The board of directors recommends a vote for the proposal to amend Superclick’s Articles of Incorporation; and to clarify the number of votes necessary to approve certain corporate actions.  A copy of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is attached as Annex B.

Proposal 2
 
THE MERGER
 
The following is a description of the material aspects of the merger. While we believe that the following description covers the material terms of the merger, the description may not contain all of the information that may be important to you. The discussion of the merger in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement, which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement. We encourage you to read carefully this entire proxy statement, including the merger agreement, for a more complete understanding of the merger.
 
Background of the Merger
 
In August 2010 an unsolicited inquiry was made by AT&T regarding the potential acquisition of the Company.  An expression of interest in the form of a non-binding Letter of Intent dated October 5, 2010 was received from AT&T indicating a cash price of $0.20 per share on a fully diluted basis.
 
On October 6, 2010, the Company hired an investment bank, Headwaters MB (“Headwaters”), to represent the Company in negotiations and to identify other potential buyers on a “short-list” basis. Headwaters has not performed any services for or on behalf of Superclick or, to our knowledge, AT&T, or any AT&T affiliates or subsidiaries in the past. Under the terms of Headwaters’ engagement letter, Headwaters would be paid a customary fee contingent and payable upon consummation of a change-in-control transaction.
 
Based on the advice of Headwaters, the Company engaged in discussions with, in addition to AT&T, approximately fifteen potential strategic buyers, some of whom had in the past expressed interest in Superclick.  Some examples include IT systems integrators, networking and data infrastructure companies, other global and/or national telecommunication providers, and vertical technology solution providers with a focus on the travel and hospitality industry.
 
Active negotiations developed with AT&T and ended with the Board of Directors authorizing a formal asking price of $0.30 per share. By mid-December 2010, AT&T had withdrawn from the negotiations.
 
During the period of January 2011 to March 2011, informal talks continued between the Company and AT&T. Such talks occurred approximately on a monthly basis.
 
A broader marketing effort for the sale of the Company was approved by the board of directors in April 2011 and more potential suitors were contacted by Headwaters.  There were 50 new strategic and private equity buyers plus 5 companies previously contacted during the initial outreach.  These buyers encompassed a broader industry landscape to include enterprise software, managed service providers, regional telecommunication providers, cloud service providers, cable and Internet service providers, voice and video platforms, and private equity firms with a focus in these sectors.  Approximately 90 percent of the buyers were strategic companies.  Over the next three months, Headwaters presented the opportunity to these suitors, and held various types of discussions with parties who expressed some level of interest in learning more about the Company.  Aside from the indications received and discussed below, the remaining parties expressed no interest, or declined the opportunity.  During the course of the Headwaters’ engagement, 5 potential acquirers presented indications of interest that included a valuation range described below:
 
 
27

 
 
 
·
Company 1: In February 2011, the Company received a verbal indication of $7 million ($0.13 per share) to acquire the Company. Superclick’s board of directors determined that the verbal indication was not a fair or reasonable proposal and deemed it to not be in the best interests of its shareholders.
 
 
·
Company 2: After the receipt of an executed NDA, the Company received a verbal indication of $0.24 to $0.25 per share in an all stock deal. Superclick’s board of directors determined that an all-stock transaction was not favorable based on the fact that Company 2 was carrying a large amount of debt on its balance sheet, was losing money and that an uncertain economic outlook for the U.S. and global economies could create downward pressure on stocks in general, all of which added material potential market risk to Company’s 2’s common stock valuation and therefore deemed it not to be in the best interests of its shareholders.
 
 
·
Company 3: After the receipt of an executed NDA, the Company received a verbal indication of $0.20 per share.  Superclick’s board of directors determined that the verbal indication was not clear in terms of the structure, or the mix between cash and stock. In addition, the indication was, from a valuation perspective, an inferior offer to others which were made, and Company 3 did not increase its offer thus, not exceeding these other offers.
 
 
·
Company 4: In late June 2011, the Company received an all cash preliminary indication of interest at the high end of the $0.20 to $0.30 range. However, Company 4 requested a month to do due diligence. AT&T’s revised Non-Binding Letter of Intent was issued (see next page for summary) on June 24. Headwaters and Superclick’s board of directors deemed the risk of delaying discussions with AT&T too great and ceased negotiations with Company 4. Superclick’s board of directors  determined that based on Company 4 not having fully undertaken a due diligence process, taking into consideration prospective risk from existing legal matters of the Company, there was a material risk of the indication of interest either being retracted or substantially reduced.
 
 
·
Company 5: Discussions ensued in May 2011 and negotiations ultimately led to two written non-binding indications of interest as follows:
 
 
o
June 8, 2011: $0.31-$0.333 per share with 64 to 68 percent of the transaction in cash and the remainder in stock, to be valued at the 20-day trailing volume-weighted average price. The indication was contingent on the acquirer obtaining financing.
 
 
o
June 24, 2011: $0.355-$0.361 per share with 70 to 75 percent of the transaction in cash and the remainder in stock, to be valued at the 20-day trailing volume-weighted average price. The indication was contingent on the acquirer obtaining financing.
 
Superclick’s board of directors determined that each of the June 8, 2011 and the June 24, 2011 indications of interest from Company 5 carried substantial risk, which weighed heavily on the board of directors’ evaluation of Company 5’s indications of interest. Superclick’s board of directors’ determination not to proceed with Company 5 was based on, among other factors:
 
 
28

 
 
 
·
the indications being contingent on a “best efforts” financing, meaning that there was no guarantee that the financing necessary to conclude an outcome to the contemplated transaction would be completed and successful;
 
 
·
the indications were further conditioned on Superclick being “locked up” and unable to solicit other, more favorable indications of interest that might not be contingent on “best efforts” financings;
 
 
·
the board of directors also took into consideration that the outlook for the capital markets was becoming increasingly uncertain, which could make a successful financing more difficult, adding further risk to a successful outcome;
 
 
·
the board of directors believed that the stock component of the transaction also carried substantial risk based on the analysis of Company 5’s stock price on a 60-day trailing average of  both the closing price of its stock and the daily volume in stock trading, that the stock was trading at a substantial premium on conventional valuation metrics such as price-to-sales and price-to-earnings basis, and therefore that the risk for decline in the stock price in adverse market conditions would in turn, create a substantial risk to the value of the stock component of Company 5’s indication of interest; and
 
 
·
the fact that under the terms of the transaction being contemplated with AT&T, Superclick would be permitted to respond to, and engage in discussions with, third parties who make unsolicited acquisition proposals, and the board of directors would be permitted to change its recommendation in favor of the merger, subject to certain limitations;
 
Since Company 5 provided its June 24, 2011 indication of interest, its stock price traded down 22%, as of September 29, 2011.
 
AT&T presented a revised non-binding Letter of Intent dated June 24, 2011, increasing its offer to $0.275 per share, all cash. On July 28, 2011 AT&T delivered an initial draft of the merger agreement to Superclick.  Representatives of Superclick’s counsel, Roetzel & Andress, LPA, and Headwaters reviewed the document with Superclick’s board of directors on several occasions from July 28, 2011 to September 11, 2011.  Roetzel & Andress, LPA and Headwaters had several extensive discussions with AT&T and its counsel about the terms and conditions of the merger agreement focusing on the termination fee and Superclick’s board of directors’ fiduciary duties under the merger agreement. Roetzel & Andress, LPA reviewed with Superclick’s board of directors on several occasions during this period Superclick’s board of directors’ fiduciary duties.  Roetzel & Andress, LPA and Headwaters’ also discussed with AT&T, its counsel and management the amount of cash and cash equivalents Superclick would have available at the closing of the merger.  Transaction costs were also discussed and estimated at approximately $757,000 or $0.0135 (based on the treasury stock method), which would reduce the net cash per share to the shareholders as the amounts were to be paid with the Company’s cash. After extensive discussion, and the exploration of various alternatives, it was determined that no specific amount of cash or cash equivalents would be required at closing.  Accordingly, in order to provide for certainty in the amount of the Merger Consideration and as consideration for the removal of such provisions, the parties agreed to a $0.268 per share price.
 
On August 28, 2011, Superclick engaged Vantage Point Advisors, Inc. (“Vantage Point”) to evaluate and provide a fairness opinion for the offer from AT&T. In February, 2010, Vantage Point was engaged to perform a valuation analysis for the Company. To our knowledge, Vantage Point has not performed any services for or on behalf of AT&T, or any AT&T affiliates or subsidiaries in the past.
 
 
29

 
 
AT&T had exclusivity until August 24, 2011, which was subsequently extended to August 30, 2011 on August 18, 2011. There is a termination fee of $500,000, or approximately 3 percent of the approximate transaction value of $15 million, which Headwaters and Vantage Point agree is in-line with certain observed studies.
 
On September 11, 2011, the Superclick board of directors held a special meeting to discuss and consider the negotiated terms of the transaction documents with AT&T and to seek to reach a final determination of the board of directors’ views on the merger agreement and the proposed merger. At that meeting, representatives of Vantage Point discussed the financial analyses of the merger consideration and responded to additional questions from the Superclick board of directors regarding those financial analyses. The materials considered by the board of directors included Vantage Point’s draft written opinion concerning whether the Merger Consideration proposed to be received by the holders of Superclick common stock pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders. Following further discussion, Vantage Point provided an oral opinion confirming the draft written opinion. That oral opinion was, in turn,  confirmed by delivery of a final written opinion received September 23, 2011 and signed and dated September 26, 2011, that is identical in substance and form to the draft written opinion provided September 11, 2011,stating that, as of that date and, subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions reflected in their written opinion, the Merger Consideration proposed to be received by the holders of shares of Superclick common stock pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders as more fully described below in “The Merger — Opinions of Financial Advisor to Superclick”. In addition, at the September 11, 2011 meeting, Roetzel & Andress, LPA, reviewed in detail with the Superclick board of directors the terms of the merger agreement and related documents.  Roetzel & Andress, LPA also discussed with the board of directors its fiduciary duties in considering the merger agreement.
 
Following additional discussion, after considering, among other things, the factors described below under “The Merger — Reasons for the Merger — the Superclick Board of Directors,” the Superclick board of directors unanimously adopted resolutions reflecting that the proposed terms of the merger agreement and other transaction documents, and the merger and other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Superclick and its shareholders, adopting the merger agreement and other transaction documents, approving the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and recommending unanimously that Superclick shareholders adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
 
After the Superclick board of directors meeting adjourned, Roetzel and Andress, LPA and Headwaters finalized the definitive documentation for the transaction, and the merger agreement and related agreements were executed later the following morning. The transaction was publicly announced in a press release issued before the opening of the market on September 26, 2011.

Reasons for the Merger
 
Superclick’s Reasons for the Merger
 
In evaluating the merger agreement and the merger, the Superclick board of directors consulted with Superclick management, its legal advisors and financial advisor and, in reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and to recommend that Superclick’s shareholders vote for the adoption of the merger agreement, the Superclick board of directors considered a variety of factors, including the following:
 
 
·
The fact that consideration payable in cash represents a premium of 16.5% over the closing price per share of Superclick common stock on September 23, 2011;
 
 
·
That fact that the Merger Consideration is in the form of cash, which provides immediate liquidity and certainty of value to Superclick shareholders;
 
 
·
The board of directors’ view that the stand-alone prospects of Superclick may be adversely impacted by Superclick’s limited financial resources;
 
 
·
The board of directors’ knowledge of the current state of Superclick`s business, including financial condition, operations, business plans, management and prospects which made it advisable for Superclick’s board of directors to consider selling the Company;
 
 
·
The board of directors’ view that Superclick shareholders will receive value in the merger that is materially greater than the value realizable by Superclick shareholders on a stand-alone basis and under any reasonably available transaction alternatives as further detailed by the report of Vantage Point;
 
 
·
The board of directors’ view that the sales process undertaken with assistance of Headwaters in which multiple potential acquirers of Superclick were contacted and several parties executed confidentiality agreements and performed due diligence on Superclick, was an effective process;
 
 
·
The board of directors view that the sale and negotiation process yielded a full and fair price for Superclick;
 
 
·
The fact that public internet access-related intellectual property is increasingly subject to third-party infringement claims;
 
 
·
The fact that Superclick indemnifies its customers for patent infringement claims and damages relating to their use of our intellectual property;
 
 
·
The prospective risks from existing legal matters;
 
 
·
The fact that Nomadix, Inc. has asserted that Superclick is infringing on its intellectual property (NOMADIX vs. HP et.al);
 
 
·
The fact that the merger would resolve a material dispute between Superclick and a third party under a license agreement and in the board of directors’ view, none of the other potential suitors would have been able to reach a similar result.
 
 
31

 
 
 
·
The belief that the business of Superclick could potentially benefit from being part of the larger AT&T corporate group and having access to its international distribution network and customers;
 
 
·
The fact that Superclick shareholders who do not vote to adopt the merger agreement and who follow certain prescribed procedures are entitled to dissenters’ rights under Washington law; and
 
 
·
The opinion of Vantage Point  to the Superclick board of directors that, as of the date of its opinion, and based upon and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth in their respective written opinions, the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Superclick common stock pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders, and the financial analyses related thereto prepared by Vantage Point and described below under “The Merger – Opinions of Financial Advisor to Superclick”.
 
The Superclick board of directors also specifically considered the following terms of the merger agreement:
 
 
·
The merger agreement permits Superclick to respond to, and engage in discussions with third parties who make unsolicited acquisition proposals, and permits the board of directors of Superclick to change its recommendation in favor of the merger, subject to certain limitations;
 
·
The limited and customary conditions to the parties’ obligations to complete the merger and the fact that there is no financing condition to AT&T’s obligations;
 
·
The customary nature of the representations, warranties and covenants of Superclick in the merger agreement; and
 
·
The fact that dissenters’ rights would be available to Superclick shareholders.
 
In addition to the merger agreement, the Superclick board of directors also reviewed, considered and discussed the terms and potential ramifications of the other transaction documents proposed to be executed in connection with the merger agreement, including the voting agreement, and the non-competition agreement pursuant to which certain voting shareholders will be generally prohibited for one year after completion of the merger, subject to certain exceptions, from competing with the Superclick business in the United States and all other countries in which Superclick was engaged in the business at the time of the merger.
 
In the course of its deliberations, the Superclick board of directors also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors, including the following:
 
 
·
Superclick has incurred and will continue to incur significant transaction costs and expenses in connection with the proposed transaction, regardless of whether or not the merger is consummated;
 
·
The merger agreement precludes Superclick from actively soliciting alternative acquisition proposals from third parties;
 
·
The deal protection measures in the merger agreement, including the fact that the merger agreement included a $500,000 termination fee, and matching rights, may inhibit other potential acquirers from submitting potentially superior proposals to acquire Superclick;
 
 
32

 
 
 
·
If the merger is not consummated for certain reasons, Superclick may be required to pay a termination fee to AT&T equal to $500,000 (for a full description of the reasons Superclick would be required to pay a termination fee to AT&T, see “The Merger Agreement – Termination Fees and Expenses”);
 
·
The operations of Superclick will be restricted by interim operating covenants under which the merger agreement during the period between signing the Merger Agreement and the closing of the merger, which could effectively prohibit Superclick from undertaking any strategic initiatives or other material transactions to the detriment of Superclick and its shareholders;
 
·
The receipt by a U.S. holder of the Merger Consideration in exchange for Superclick common stock pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and
 
·
Certain of Superclick’s directors and executive officers may receive certain benefits that are different from, and in addition to, those of Superclick’s other shareholders (See “The Merger – Interests of Directors, Executive Officers of Superclick in the Merger”).
 
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Superclick board of directors is not exhaustive but is intended to reflect the material factors considered by the Superclick board of directors. The Superclick board of directors did not quantify or assign any relative or specific weight to the various factors that it considered.  Rather, the Superclick board of directors based its recommendation on the totality of the information presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual members of the Superclick board of directors may have given different weights to different factors.
 
Opinion of Financial Advisor to Superclick
 
Vantage Point Advisors
 
On September 11, 2011, at a meeting of the Superclick board of directors held to evaluate the merger, Vantage Point Advisors rendered to the Superclick board of directors an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion received September 23, 2011 and signed and dated September 26, 2011, to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion, and based upon and subject to the factors, assumptions and limitations set forth therein, the Merger Consideration to be received in the merger by holders of Superclick common stock  was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.
 
The full text of the written opinion of Vantage Point Advisors to the Superclick board of directors, received September 23, 2011 and signed and dated September 26, 2011, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached to this proxy statement as Annex E. The following summary of Vantage Point’s opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. Vantage Point provided its opinion to the Superclick board of directors for the benefit and use of the Superclick board of directors in connection with and for purposes of its evaluation of the Merger Consideration from a financial point of view. Vantage Point Advisor’s opinion does not address any other aspect of the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to how to vote or act in connection with the merger or any related matter.
 
In the course of Vantage Point’s analyses for rendering its opinion, among other things, Vantage Point performed the following procedures:

·
Conducted such studies, analyses, inquiries and investigations, as deemed appropriate
 
In arriving at its opinion, Vantage Point assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information and data publicly available or provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with it and relied upon the assurances of the management of Superclick that they were not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make such information or data inaccurate or misleading in any material respect. With respect to the Superclick forecasts, Vantage Point was advised by Superclick, and assumed that they were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of Superclick as to the future financial performance of Superclick and the other matters covered thereby. Vantage Point did not make or was not provided with any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Superclick, nor did it make any physical inspection of the properties or assets of Superclick. Vantage Point did not evaluate the solvency or fair value of Superclick under any state, federal or other laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. Vantage Point assumed, at the direction of Superclick, that the merger would be consummated in accordance with its terms, without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement.
 
 
34

 
 
Vantage Point expressed no view or opinion as to any terms or other aspects of the merger (other than the Merger Consideration to the extent expressly specified in its opinion). Vantage Point’s opinion was limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to be received in the merger by holders of Superclick common stock and no opinion or view was expressed with respect to any consideration received in connection with the merger by the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of any party. In addition, no opinion or view was expressed with respect to the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount, nature or any other aspect of any compensation to any of the officers, directors or employees of any party to the merger, or class of such persons, relative to the Merger Consideration.  Furthermore, no opinion or view was expressed as to the relative merits of the merger in comparison to other strategies or transactions that might be available to Superclick or in which Superclick might engage or as to the underlying business decision of Superclick to proceed with or effect the merger.  In addition, Vantage Point expressed no opinion or recommendation as to how any shareholder should vote or act in connection with the merger or any related matter.
 
Vantage Point’s opinion was necessarily based on financial, economic, monetary, market and other conditions and circumstances as in effect on, and the information made available to Vantage Point as of, the date of its opinion. It should be understood that subsequent developments may affect its opinion, and Vantage Point does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion.
 
Superclick agreed to pay Vantage Point for its services in connection with the merger an aggregate fee of $42,500. Superclick also agreed to reimburse Vantage Point for its reasonable expenses and to indemnify Vantage Point against certain liabilities arising out of its engagement.  The fee payable to Vantage Point is not contingent on its issuance of a favorable fairness opinion.
 
Vantage Point is an independent San Diego-based corporate valuation firm, with offices in both San Diego and Orange County. It offers a full suite of valuation and financial advisory services to public and private companies and has collectively completed thousands of engagements across virtually all industries. It is a leading provider of valuation services for transaction, tax and financial reporting and regulatory compliance purposes, including ESOPs, gift and estate tax matters, goodwill and intangible asset impairment (ASC 350 and 360) and purchase price allocation (ASC 805). Vantage Point’s principals have extensive fairness and solvency opinion experience and have previously held positions at leading global investment banks and financial advisory firms. Vantage Point has transactional, operational and financial expertise.
 
Superclick selected Vantage Point as a financial advisor in connection with the merger because of its qualifications, expertise and reputation in valuation opinions related to mergers and acquisitions as well as its familiarity with Superclick and its business.
 
Financial Analyses by Financial Advisor
 
The following is a summary of the material financial analyses delivered by Vantage Point, which we refer to as the “financial advisor,” to the Superclick board of directors in connection with rendering their respective opinions described above. The following summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed by the financial advisor, nor does the order of analyses described represent relative importance or weight given to those analyses by the financial advisor. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses performed by the financial advisor, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary and are alone not a complete description of the financial advisor’s financial analyses. Considering the data set forth in the tables below without considering the narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the financial advisor’s financial analyses. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before September 11, 2011, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

The preparation of fairness opinions is a complex process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to particular circumstances and, therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying the financial advisor’s opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, the financial advisor considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, the financial advisor made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. No company or transaction used in the analyses below as a comparison is directly comparable to Superclick or the merger.
 
The financial advisor prepared these analyses solely for purposes of, and the analyses were delivered to the Superclick board of directors in connection with, its provision of its opinion to the Superclick board of directors as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of Superclick common stock pursuant to the merger agreement to such holders. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals nor do they necessarily reflect or purport to reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold or the prices at which any securities have traded or may trade at anytime in the future. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of Superclick or its advisor, none of Superclick, Vantage Point or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecast.
 
The type and amount of consideration payable in the merger was determined through arm’s-length negotiations between Superclick (and Headwaters and Roetzel and Andress, LPA, acting as agents for Surperclick) and AT&T and its counsel, rather than by Vantage Point, and was approved by the Superclick board of directors. Vantage Point did not recommend any specific Merger Consideration to the Superclick board of directors or to Superclick or that any given Merger Consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the merger. The decision to enter into the merger agreement was solely that of the Superclick board of directors. The opinion of financial advisor was one of many factors taken into consideration by the Superclick board of directors in its evaluation of the proposed merger. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the opinion of the Superclick board of directors with respect to the Merger Consideration or of whether the Superclick board of directors would have been willing to determine that a different Merger Consideration was fair.
 
Discounted Cash Flow. Vantage Point performed an illustrative discounted cash flow, which we refer to as DCF, analysis on Superclick using the stand-alone, probability-adjusted forecast prepared by Superclick management to determine a range of implied values per share of Superclick common stock. The financial advisor relied on management’s projections for the years ending October 31, 2011 through October 31, 2014.
 
 
36

 
 
In estimating Superclick’s value into perpetuity the financial advisor utilized the Gordon Growth Method (GGM) and the Exit Multiple Method.
 
 
·
Gordon Growth Method: A sustainable growth rate of 5.0 percent was selected based on economic and industry outlooks. A concluded terminal period capitalization rate of 25.0 percent was used.
 
·
Exit Multiple Method: An EBITDA exit multiple of 4.0 times was applied to 2014 EBITDA of $3.1 million.
 
Vantage Point also considered depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures as provided by management. The normalized working capital requirement of zero percent of incremental revenues was chosen to reflect the neutral working capital needs of the Company resulting from the deferred revenue business model.  Based on an income approach analysis, the business enterprise value range was determined to be as follows: $8.2 million to $11.2 million. Adjustments were made for cash, assumed litigation settlement obligations, value of certain business opportunities, and option proceeds to arrive at an equity value range of: $10.7 million to $13.7 million or $0.18 per share to $0.23 per share.
 
Public Stock Price Analysis. Vantage Point reviewed a variety of time periods in its assessment:
 
 
·
Trading 10-day public stock price, trading 30-day public stock price and trading 90-day public stock price which collectively yielded a mean range of $0.16 to $0.25.
 
The financial advisor made the following observations:
 
 
·
There are few if no institutional investors with significant stakes in Superclick;
 
·
Superclick represented that the largest shareholders holds less than five percent of the common shares outstanding;
 
·
Absolute trading value has been approximately $20 thousand per day over the past three months. This equates to 0.2 percent of basic market capitalization;
 
·
Superclick has not actively marketed or made investor presentations to potential investors;
 
·
There are no equity analysts following Superclick;
 
·
The closing stock price has fluctuated significantly over the past twelve months;
 
·
Historical volatility over the past 2 years and six months is 100 and 75 percent, respectively;
 
·
The high over the past 12 months was $0.25 per share, or 150 percent higher than the low of $0.10 per share;
 
·
The stock price was $0.15 per share when Headwaters was engaged on October 6, 2010;
 
·
On September 22, 2011 the price was $0.23 per share; and
 
·
The percentage premium of the $0.268 transaction consideration over the closing stock prices over the past 90 days is 7 percent to 68 percent.
 
Guideline Company Analysis. Vantage Point reviewed and compared certain financial information for Superclick to corresponding financial information and multiples for nine publicly traded corporations. The companies included were chosen because they are publicly traded companies with operations that for purposes of analysis may in certain respects be considered similar to those of Superclick:
 
 
37

 
 
 
·
ADTRAN, Inc.
 
·
Aruba Networks, Inc.
 
·
INX Inc.
 
·
LodgeNet Interactive Corporation
 
·
PAR Technology Corp.
 
·
RoomLinX Inc.
 
·
RSI International Systems, Inc.
 
·
Solutions Inc. Technologies Ltd.
 
·
Sylogist Ltd.

It was determined that LodgeNet Interactive represented the best comparable to the Company.  However, none of the selected companies are directly comparable to Superclick.

Trailing and forward revenue and EBITDA market multiples were calculated from the set of comparable guideline companies. The revenue and EBITDA multiples were used to obtain unadjusted business enterprise values in the range of $7.7 to $9.9 million. Adjustments were made for cash, litigation settlement assumptions, certain business opportunities and option proceeds to arrive at an equity value range of $11.7 to $13.9 million, or $0.20 to $0.24 per share.
 
Market Transaction Analysis. The financial advisor performed a market transaction analysis based on observed transactions involving the sale of entire companies, identifying thirty-one recent market transactions involving businesses reasonably similar to Superclick.
 
Revenue and EBITDA market multiples were calculated from the set of selected comparable company transactions. The revenue multiples were used to obtain unadjusted business enterprise value in the range of $9 to $14.7 million. Adjustments were made for cash and option proceeds to arrive at an equity value in the range of $12.3 to $18 million, or $0.21 to $0.31 per share.

Certain Illustrative Projections for Superclick
 
In connection with the transaction process, Superclick management prepared illustrative projections of the future financial performance of Superclick on a stand-alone basis. Superclick is including net revenue and EBITDA forecasts from these projections below because these projections were presented to the Superclick board of directors as part of its review of the transaction and provided to Vantage Point in connection with the preparation of their respective fairness opinions and their associated financial analyses described above under “The Merger — Opinion of Financial Advisor to Superclick.”
 
   
Fiscal Year Ending October 31,

Revenue
  $ 10,879,985     $ 13,431,613     $ 16,618,178     $ 20,572,879  
EBITDA
  $ 1,635,321     $ 2,449,274     $ 2,605,355     $ 3,123,135  
 
The illustrative net revenue projections set forth above were not prepared in connection with a detailed analysis of the fundamentals of Superclick’s business and assets nor were they prepared on a basis consistent with the historical accounting policies included in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” contained in Superclick’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010.  For more information, see “Where you Can Find More Information” in this proxy statement.
 
The illustrative net revenue projections are not being included in this proxy statement for the purpose of influencing your decision whether to vote for the adoption of the merger agreement or exercise dissenters’ rights with respect to your shares of Superclick common stock. Such illustrative net revenue projections were not prepared in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which we refer to as U.S. GAAP, or with published guidelines of the SEC or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants regarding financial projections. Superclick’s independent public registered accounting firm has not examined or compiled any of the illustrative net revenue and EBITDA projections, expressed any conclusion or provided any form of assurance with respect to the illustrative net revenue and EBITDA projections and, accordingly, assumes no responsibility for them.
 
Superclick cautions you that the illustrative net revenue and EBITDA projections are speculative in nature and based upon subjective decisions and assumptions. The illustrative net revenue projections are inherently subject to uncertainty because they are based upon numerous factors and events beyond the control of the parties and their respective advisor, and the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as an indication that Superclick, or any other person considered, or now considers, it to be necessarily predictive of actual future results. Accordingly, neither Superclick nor its respective affiliates or representatives assumes any responsibility for the accuracy of this information.
 
While presented with numerical specificity, the illustrative net revenue projections are necessarily speculative given the time periods involved and are based upon various assumptions which are likely to be different than actual results for any number of reasons, including general economic conditions, competition and the risks discussed under Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” in Superclick’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010.
 
 
39

 
 
Because the illustrative net revenue projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year. The illustrative net revenue projections also does not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date on which they were prepared and do not give effect to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the net revenue reflected in the illustrative financial projections will be realized, and actual results may vary materially from those reflected in such illustrative financial projections. You should read the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for additional information regarding the risks inherent in forward-looking information such as the illustrative financial projections.
 
Readers of this proxy statement are cautioned not to place any reliance on the excerpts of the illustrative net revenue projections set forth above. No representation is made by Superclick or any other person to any shareholder of Superclick regarding the ultimate performance of Superclick compared to the information included in the above summary of the illustrative net revenue projections. The inclusion of the excerpts of the illustrative net revenue projections in this proxy statement should not be regarded as an indication that such illustrative projections will be an accurate prediction of future events nor construed as financial guidance, and they should not be relied on as such. Superclick has made no representation to AT&T or any other person concerning the projected financial data.
 
Superclick will not update or otherwise revise the illustrative net revenue and EBITDA projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying such illustrative net revenue and EBITDA projections are no longer appropriate.
 
Interests of Directors and Executive Officers of Superclick in the Merger
 
When reading this proxy statement, you should be aware that the executive officers and directors of Superclick may have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of other Superclick shareholders generally. The Superclick board of directors were aware of these interests and considered them, among other factors, in unanimously determining that the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interest of, Superclick and its shareholders, adopting the merger agreement and declaring advisable the merger.  A description of these interests is set forth below.
 
Value of Equity Awards
 
Sandro Natale, Chief Executive Officer and Jean Perrotti, Chief Financial Officer of Superclick hold options to purchase Superclick common stock, which we refer to as options, whether or not vested, pursuant to the merger agreement, will immediately vest and be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment as more fully described below in the sections entitled “ Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights” and “ Restricted Stock Units.”
 
The following table sets forth the total amount of cash that executive officers and directors of Superclick would have received in respect of their vested and unvested equity awards assuming the merger was completed on September 23, 2011.  For purposes of this table: (1) the “per share amount” described under “The Merger Agreement - Treatment of Superclick Stock Options” has an assumed value of $0.268 per share based upon the Merger Consideration.

Prior to the closing, AT&T will purchase a “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the closing covering each such person currently covered by Superclick’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy with a term of six years from the closing and on terms with respect to coverage and in amounts which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous than those of the policy in effect on the date of the merger agreement; provided, that in no event AT&T will be required to expend pursuant to Section 6.11(b) of the merger agreement more than an amount equal to 150% of the annual premiums paid by Superclick as of the date of the merger agreement for its existing officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy.
 
The rights of each indemnified party under the merger agreement are in addition to any rights such indemnified party may have under the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or any other organizational documents of Superclick or any of its subsidiaries, any other indemnification arrangement in existence as of the date of the merger agreement, under Washington law or otherwise.

Stock Options
 
Each Superclick stock option that remains outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger and that has an exercise price that is equal to or less than the per share amount will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company common stock subject to such option, times (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such stock option, less any withholding taxes..

THE MERGER AGREEMENT
 
The following summary describes certain material provisions of the merger agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A and which is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.  This summary does not purport to be complete and may not contain all of the information about the merger agreement that may be important to you. We encourage you to read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety, as it is the legal document governing the merger.
 
The Merger
 
The merger agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Superclick upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the merger agreement, and in accordance with the Washington Business Corporation Act, which we refer to as the “Act” or RCW 23B, with Superclick being the surviving corporation.  As a result of the merger, Superclick will become a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T, and will continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Washington. Upon completion of the merger, the initial directors of the surviving corporation shall be the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time as defined below, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.  The initial officers of the surviving corporation shall be the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time, until their respective successors are duly appointed.
 
Effective Time
 
The effective time, or completion, of the merger will occur at the time that the articles of merger are duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Washington in accordance with the RCW 23B. 13 on the closing date of the merger (the “Effective Time”). The “closing date” will occur on the day that is no later than two business days following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted under applicable law and the terms of the merger agreement) of the conditions to the completion of the merger (other than those that can only be fulfilled at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) described under “Conditions to the Merger,” or another date as Superclick, Merger Sub and AT&T may agree in writing.
 
Merger Consideration
 
Each share of Superclick common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger, other than shares held by shareholders who have properly exercised dissenters’ rights with respect to such shares in accordance with Chapter 23 of the Act, which we refer to as dissenting shares, and shares held in the treasury of Superclick or owned by AT&T, Merger Sub or any wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T or Superclick, which we refer to as excluded shares, will be converted in the merger into the right to receive $0.268 in cash, without interest. We refer to the consideration for the merger described above as the Merger Consideration.
 
 
45

 

Dissenting Shares
 
Shares of Superclick common stock held by any shareholder who properly dissents and gives notice of intent to demand payment with respect to such shares in compliance with RCW 23B.13 will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and holders of such shares will be entitled to receive payment of the value of such shares determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Act and as further described in the section entitled “Rights of Shareholders to Dissent.”  However, if, after the completion of the merger, any holder of dissenting shares fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its right to dissent and payment under the Act, the shares of Superclick common stock held by that shareholder that were dissenting shares will be treated as if they had been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends or other distributions to which such shareholder is entitled to receive, without any interest thereon. In the event of provision of notice of intent to demand payment for shares under RCW 23B.13.210, by holders of more than five percent (5%) of Superclick’s outstanding common stock AT&T will not be obligated to close the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
 
Treatment of Superclick Stock Options
 
Superclick shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Superclick common stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the merger and without any action on the part of AT&T, Merger Sub, Superclick, the holder of the Superclick stock option or any other person, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from AT&T and the surviving corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company common stock subject to such option, times (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such stock option, less any withholding taxes.
 
Payment and Exchange Procedures
 
On or prior to the closing date, AT&T shall enter into an agreement with the exchange agent and make available cash in an amount sufficient to permit the payment of the Merger Consideration to which the Superclick shareholders are entitled (including cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares of Superclick common stock).
 
As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, AT&T shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of (i) a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Superclick stock or (ii) book-entry shares that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Superclick common stock a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Superclick certificates or the book-entry shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.  Upon surrender of a Superclick certificate for cancellation, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the exchange agent in the case of book-entry shares or upon delivery of an affidavit of lost certificate and an indemnity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to AT&T to the exchange agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the exchange agent shall pay by check to each tendering holder of a Superclick certificate, book-entry share or an affidavit the Merger Consideration.  No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash payable to holders of Superclick certificates or book-entry shares.
 
After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Superclick or its transfer agent of any shares of Superclick’s capital stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, any Superclick certificates, book-entry shares or affidavits for lost Superclick certificates are presented for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged.

 
46

 

Until Superclick certificates or book-entry shares are surrendered or an affidavit with respect to any lost Superclick certificates is delivered, the certificates or book-entry shares shall be deemed to evidence ownership of the right to receive from AT&T the Merger Consideration.
 
Each of the exchange agent, AT&T and the surviving corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any holder or former holder of Superclick common stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other applicable law.  To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
 
None of the exchange agent, AT&T, the surviving corporation or any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Superclick common stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar applicable law.
 
Any portion of the exchange fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Superclick common stock for twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to AT&T or an entity designated by AT&T, upon demand.

The merger agreement contains representations and warranties which the parties made to each other. The statements embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the contract between the parties and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of that contract. Certain representations and warranties were made as of the date of the merger agreement (or other date specified in the merger agreement), may be subject to contractual standards of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters of fact.
 
Information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the date of the merger agreement, and these changes may or may not be fully reflected in our public disclosures. The merger agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding Superclick and the merger that is contained in this proxy statement as well as in the filings that Superclick makes and has made with the SEC. The representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement may or may not have been accurate as of the date they were made and we make no assertion herein that they are accurate as of the date of this proxy statement.

Many of Superclick’s representations and warranties are qualified by reference to a “material adverse effect” standard; that is, they will not be deemed to be untrue or incorrect unless their failure to be true and correct, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a “material adverse effect.” For purposes of the merger agreement, an “ material adverse effect” means any state of facts, change, development, event, effect, condition, occurrence, action or omission that, alone or together with any other state of facts, change, development, event, effect, condition, occurrence, action or omission, that is, or would reasonably be expected to become, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to (i) the business, results of operations, financial condition or assets of Superclick and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) the ability of Superclick to consummate the transactions on a timely basis.
 
In no event will any of the following, alone or in combination, be deemed to constitute, nor will any of the following be taken into account in determining whether there has been, or there would reasonably be expected to be, a Superclick material adverse effect:
 
 
·
general legal, market, economic or political conditions affecting the industry in which Superclick operates;
 
 
·
changes affecting general worldwide economic or capital market conditions (including changes in interest or exchange rates);

·
any natural disaster, any act or threat of terrorism or war anywhere in the world, any armed hostilities or terrorist activities anywhere in the world, any threat or escalation of armed hostilities or terrorist activities anywhere in the world.
 
In the merger agreement, AT&T and Merger Sub also made various representations and warranties that are subject, in some cases, to specified exceptions and qualifications.  AT&T and Merger Sub’s representations and warranties relate to, among other things:
 
 
·
AT&T and Merger Sub’s organization, good standing, and qualification to do business;
 
 
·
AT&T and Merger Sub’s corporate power and authority to enter into the merger agreement and to complete the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;
 
 
·
the execution and delivery of the merger agreement by each of AT&T and Merger Sub;

 
49

 

 
·
the required approvals and consents of governmental entities and other persons in connection with the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;
 
The representations and warranties of AT&T and Merger Sub do not survive the completion of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement.

Superclick has further agreed that no amendment or supplement to the proxy statement will be made without the approval of AT&T, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that with respect to documents filed by Superclick that are incorporated by reference in the proxy statement, if any, this right of approval shall apply only with respect to information relating to AT&T or its business, financial condition or results of operations; and provided, further, that Superclick, in connection with an adverse recommendation change, may amend or supplement the proxy statement pursuant to an amendment or supplement to the proxy statement to the extent it contains (i) an adverse recommendation change, (ii) a statement of the reasons of Superclick’s board of directors for making such adverse recommendation change and (iii) additional information reasonably related to the foregoing.
 
Superclick will advise AT&T, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any request by the SEC for amendment of the proxy statement.  If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, AT&T or Superclick discovers any information relating to any party, or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the proxy statement, so that none of those documents would include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements in any such document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers that information shall promptly notify the other party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing that information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by law or regulation, disseminated to the company shareholders.
 
Restrictions on Solicitation of Third Party Acquisition Proposals
 
After the date of the merger agreement until the completion of the merger, Superclick has agreed that it will not, and has agreed to use its reasonably best efforts to cause its representatives and the representatives of its subsidiaries not to:
 
 
·
solicit, initiate or take any action to knowingly facilitate or encourage the submission of any acquisition proposal;
 
 
·
enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any nonpublic information relating to Superclick or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of Superclick to, otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by any third party that is seeking to make, or has made, an acquisition proposal;
 
 
·
make an adverse recommendation change;

 
53

 

 
·
grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of Superclick;
 
 
·
approve any person as “an acquiring person” or such “person’s share acquisition” as provided in RCW 23B.19.040, or
 
 
·
enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar instrument relating to an acquisition proposal
 
Except that the above “no shop” restrictions will not prohibit the Superclick board of directors from terminating, waiving, amending or modifying any provision of, or granting permission under, any standstill, confidentiality agreement or similar contract if the Superclick board of directors determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to Superclick shareholders under applicable law.
 
Notwithstanding the “no shop” restrictions described above, prior to the date on which shareholder approval for the merger is obtained, Superclick has the right to, and may authorize its representatives to, (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with any third party that has made after the date of merger agreement a superior proposal or an acquisition proposal that the Superclick board of directors determines in good faith, or is reasonably likely to result in, a superior proposal by the third party making such acquisition proposal and (ii) furnish to such third party and its representatives non-public information relating Superclick and access to its business, properties, assets, books and records pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to AT&T) with such third party with terms no less favorable to Superclick than those contained in the confidentiality agreement; and (iii) take any action required by applicable law and any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders Superclick to take.
 
Superclick’s board of directors may make an adverse recommendation change following receipt of an acquisition proposal made after the execution date of the merger agreement that it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, constitutes a superior proposal.
 
In each case referred to in the foregoing clauses Superclick may take such actions only if Superclick’s board of directors determines in good faith by a majority vote, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company shareholders under applicable law.
 
Superclick has agreed to notify AT&T orally and in writing promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) after receipt of any acquisition proposal or any request for information or inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to an acquisition proposal.
 
The notice from Superclick to AT&T must include the identity of the person making such acquisition proposal, request or inquiry and the material terms of the acquisition proposal, request or inquiry (including any material written amendments or modifications thereto). Superclick has agreed to keep AT&T reasonably informed on a current basis of any material changes with respect to such acquisition proposal, request or inquiry.

 
54

 

For purposes of the merger agreement, a “superior proposal” means a bonafide, unsolicited written acquisition proposal, that did not result or arise out of a violation out of the merger agreement, for all the outstanding shares of the Company common stock or substantially all the assets of the Company that the Company board of directors determines in good faith by a majority vote, after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the acquisition proposal, including the expected timing and likelihood of consummation in light of all technical, legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the acquisition proposal, any break up fees, expense reimbursement provisions, conditions to consummation and the expectation of obtaining required regulatory approvals, is more favorable to the Company shareholders, including from a financial point of view, than is provided under the merger agreement (taking into account any binding proposal by Parent to amend the terms of the merger agreement), that the Company board of directors determines is reasonably likely to be consummated and for which financing, if a cash transaction (whether in whole or in part) is then fully committed or recently determined to be available by the Company board of directors.
 
Agreement to Use Reasonable Best Efforts and Take Further Action
 
Pursuant to the merger agreement, AT&T, Merger Sub, and Superclick have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to complete, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the merger including:
 
 
·
obtaining the consents required under the merger agreement and taking all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain such consents;
 
 
·
obtaining all necessary approvals, consents or waivers from third parties;  and
 
 
·
executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary to complete the merger and to fully carry out the purposes of the merger agreement.
 
AT&T, Merger Sub and Superclick will not take or agree to take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the completion of the merger described under “The Merger Agreement — Conditions to the Merger” not being satisfied or to prevent or materially delay the completion of the merger or the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
 
Superclick and AT&T have agreed to notify the other promptly (i) upon the occurrence of any event that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any antitrust filing or other filing or (ii) upon the receipt of any comments from any government officials in connection with any filing made pursuant hereto and of any request by any government officials for amendments or supplements to any antitrust filings or other filings or for additional information and will supply the other with copies of all correspondence between such party or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and any government officials, on the other hand, with respect to any antitrust filing or other filing.
 
Employee Benefit Plans
 
The execution of the merger agreement and the consummation of the transaction will not constitute an event under any company employee plan, employee agreement, trust or loan that will or may result in any payment (whether of severance (including change-of-control) pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, extension of the exercise period, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any employee.  No payment or benefit that will or may be made by Superclick or its affiliates with respect to any employee as a result of the transactions will be characterized as an “excess parachute payment,” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code or will be treated as a nondeductible expense within the meaning of Section 162 of the Code.

 
55

 

Superclick has provided AT&T with a list of the salaries and bonus arrangements and change-in-control provisions with all current employees, contractors, consultants and agents, and:

·
is not liable for any material payment to any trust or other fund or to any governmental entity, with respect to unemployment compensation benefits, social security or other benefits or obligations for employees, contractors, consultants or agents.

Prior to the Closing, AT&T shall purchase a “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the closing covering each such person currently covered by Superclick’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy with a term of six years from the closing and on terms with respect to coverage and in amounts which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous than those of the policy in effect on the date of the merger agreement.
 
In the event that the surviving corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the surviving corporation shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the surviving corporation assume the indemnification and “tail” liability insurance obligations set forth above.

LITIGATION
 
Superclick, its board of directors, AT&T, and Merger Sub are named as defendants in two putative class action lawsuits brought by alleged Superclick shareholders challenging Superclick’s proposed merger with AT&T.  The action called Synatowicz v. Superclick, Inc., et al. was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington for King County on October 4, 2011, Case No. 11-2-34471-1 SEA.  The action called Talarico v. Superclick, Inc., et al. was filed in the Superior Court of the State of Washington for Thurston County on October 6, 2011, Case No. 11-2-02154-5.  Both actions generally allege, among other things, that each member of the Superclick board of directors breached fiduciary duties to Superclick and its shareholders by authorizing the sale of Superclick to AT&T for consideration that allegedly does not maximize value to Superclick shareholders. The complaints also alleges that AT&T and Superclick aided, abetted and participated in the breaches of fiduciary duty allegedly committed by the members of the Superclick board of directors. These shareholder lawsuits seeks equitable relief, including to enjoin the defendants from consummating the merger on the agreed-upon terms. For the reasons stated elsewhere in this proxy statement, Superclick and its board of directors believe that the consideration to be paid by AT&T is fair to Superclick’s shareholders and, therefore, that the allegations in this lawsuit lack merit.
 
CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
The following is a general discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to U.S. holders (as defined below) of Superclick common stock whose shares are exchanged for the Merger Consideration in the merger. This discussion is for general information only and is not tax advice. This discussion does not purport to consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to Superclick shareholders. This discussion is based on the provisions of the Code, applicable current and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations, judicial authority, and administrative rulings and practice, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. Any such change could alter the tax consequences described herein.
 
For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of shares of Superclick common stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
 
 
·
an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
 
 
·
a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation) created or organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof (or the District of Columbia);

 
63

 

 
·
a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or
 
 
·
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source.
 
This discussion assumes that a U.S. holder holds its shares of Superclick common stock as a capital asset, within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax that may be relevant to a Superclick shareholder in light of its particular circumstances, or that may apply to Superclick shareholders that are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (including, for example, insurance companies, dealers in securities or foreign currencies, traders in securities who elect the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations), financial institutions, mutual funds, subchapter S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders that are not U.S. holders, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, certain expatriates, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, persons who hold shares of Superclick common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, conversion or other integrated transaction, persons who acquired their shares of Superclick common stock through the exercise of options or other compensation arrangements, persons who exercise statutory dissenters’ rights or persons whose ability to sell their Superclick common stock is limited by SEC Rule 144. In addition, this discussion does not address any aspect of state, local, foreign, estate, gift or other tax law that may apply to Superclick shareholders. The U.S. federal income tax consequences described below are not intended to constitute a complete description of all tax consequences relating to the merger. Superclick shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the tax consequences to them of, including the application and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income, estate, gift and other tax laws to, the receipt of cash, in exchange for Superclick common stock pursuant to the merger.
 
If any entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes holds Superclick common stock, the tax treatment of its partners or members generally will depend upon the status of the partner or member and the activities of the entity. If you are a partner of a partnership or a member of a limited liability company or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal tax purposes and that entity holds shares of Superclick common stock, you should consult your tax advisor.
 
The receipt by a U.S. holder of cash, in exchange for shares of Superclick common stock pursuant to the merger will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and may also be a taxable transaction under applicable state, local, and foreign income or other tax laws). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. holder of Superclick common stock generally will recognize capital gain or loss at the time of the merger equal to the difference, if any, between:
 
 
·
the sum of (1) the amount of cash received by the U.S. holder in exchange for such Superclick common stock; and

 
64

 

 
·
the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Superclick common stock.
 
Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss provided the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Superclick common stock surrendered in the merger exceeds one year as of the date of the merger. In general, long-term capital gain of individuals currently is subject to U.S. federal income tax at a maximum rate of 20%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code. The amount and character of gain or loss must be determined separately for each block of Superclick common stock (i.e., shares acquired at the same cost in a single transaction) exchanged for the Merger Consideration in the merger.
 
Under the Code, consideration received in the merger by a U.S. holder may be subject to U.S. information reporting and backup withholding. Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%) will apply with respect to the amount of cash received by a non-corporate U.S. holder, unless the U.S. holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that such U.S. holder furnishes the required information to the IRS in a timely manner.
 
TAX MATTERS CAN BE COMPLICATED.  THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER. SUPERCLICK SHAREHOLDERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME, ESTATE, GIFT AND OTHER TAX LAWS IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. NOTHING IN THIS DISCUSSION IS INTENDED TO BE, OR SHOULD BE CONSTRUED AS, TAX ADVICE.
 
RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS TO DISSENT
 
Under the RCW 23B.13, holders of Superclick common stock who do not wish to accept the Merger Consideration have the right to dissent from the merger and to receive payment in cash for the fair value of their shares of Superclick common stock together with a fair rate of interest,. These rights are known as dissenters’ rights. Shareholders may only exercise these dissenters’ rights by strictly complying with the provisions of RCW 23B.13, which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex F.
 
The following is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of the Act required to be followed by a shareholder in order to dissent from the merger and perfect its dissenters’ rights. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to RCW 23B.13.  Failure to precisely follow any of the statutory procedures set forth in RCW 23B.13 may result in a termination or waiver of your dissenters’ rights. This summary does not constitute legal or other advice, nor does it constitute a recommendation that holders of Superclick common stock exercise their dissenters’ rights.
 
Superclick is required to send a notice of the meeting including a statement of dissenters’ rights to each of its shareholders not less than 20 days prior to the special meeting. This proxy statement constitutes the meeting notice and the notice to Superclick shareholders of the availability of dissenters’ rights in connection with the merger in compliance with the requirements of RCW 23B.13. If you wish to consider exercising your dissenters’ rights, you should carefully review the text of RCW 23B.13 contained in Annex F to this proxy statement because failure to timely and properly comply with the requirements of RCW 23B.13 will result in the loss of your dissenters’ rights under Washington law.

 
65

 

If proposed corporate action creating dissenters' rights under RCW 23B.13 is submitted to a vote at a shareholders' meeting, a shareholder who wishes to assert dissenters' rights must (a) deliver to the corporation before the vote has been taken notice of the shareholder's intent to demand payment for the shareholder's shares if the proposed corporate action is effected, and (b) not vote such shares in favor of the proposed corporate action.
 
If proposed corporate action creating dissenters' rights under RCW 23B.13 is submitted for approval without a vote of the shareholders in accordance with RCW 23B.07.040, a shareholder who wishes to assert dissenters' rights must not execute the consent or otherwise vote such shares in favor of the proposed corporate action.
 
A shareholder who does not satisfy these requirements is not entitled to payment for the shareholder's shares under RCW 23B.13.
 
If proposed corporate action creating dissenters' rights under RCW 23B.13 is approved at a shareholders' meeting, the corporation shall within ten days after the effective date of the corporate action deliver to all shareholders who satisfied the requirements of RCW 23B.13 the notice described below.
 
The notice must:
 
 
·
State where the payment demand must be sent and where and when certificates for certificated shares must be deposited;
 
 
·
Inform holders of uncertificated shares to what extent transfer of the shares will be restricted after the payment demand is received;
 
 
·
Supply a form for demanding payment that includes the date of the first announcement to news media or to shareholders of the terms of the proposed corporate action and requires that the person asserting dissenters' rights certify whether or not the person acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before that date;
 
 
·
Set a date by which the corporation must receive the payment demand, which date may not be fewer than thirty nor more than sixty days after the date the notice is delivered; and
 
 
·
Be accompanied by a copy of RCW 23B.13.
 
(If proposed corporate action creating dissenters' rights under RCW 23B.13 is approved without a vote of shareholders, the corporation shall deliver such notice to shareholders who satisfied the applicable requirements of RCW 23B. 13).
 
A shareholder sent a notice; must demand payment, certify whether the shareholder acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before the date required to be set forth in the notice and deposit the shareholder's certificates, all in accordance with the terms of the notice.

 
66

 

The shareholder who demands payment and deposits the shareholder's share certificates retains all other rights of a shareholder until the proposed corporate action is effected. A shareholder who does not demand payment or deposit the shareholder’s share certificates where required, each by the date set in the notice, is not entitled to payment for the shareholder's shares.
 
Except as provided in RCW 23B.13.270, within thirty days of the later of the effective date of the proposed corporate action, or the date the payment demand is received, the corporation shall pay each dissenter who complied with RCW 23B.13.230 the amount the corporation estimates to be the fair value of the shareholder’s shares, plus accrued interest.
 
The payment must be accompanied by:
 
 
·
Superclick’s balance sheet as of the end of a fiscal year ending not more than sixteen months before the date of payment, an income statement for that year, a statement of changes in shareholder’s equity for that year, and the latest available interim financial statements, if any;
 
 
·
An explanation of how Superclick estimated the fair value of the shares;
 
 
·
An explanation of how the interest was calculated;
 
 
·
A statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment under RCW 23B.13.280; and
 
 
·
A copy of Chapter 23B.13.
 
If Superclick does not effect the proposed corporate action within sixty days after the date set for demanding payment and depositing share certificates, the corporation shall return the deposited certificates and release any transfer restrictions imposed on uncertificated shares.
 
If after returning deposited certificates and releasing transfer restrictions, Superclick wishes to effect the proposed corporate action, it must send a new dissenters' notice under RCW 23 B.13and repeat the payment demand procedure.
 
Superclick may elect to withhold payment required by RCW 23B.13 from a dissenter unless the dissenter was the beneficial owner of the shares before the date set forth in the dissenters' notice as the date of the first announcement to news media or to shareholders of the terms of the proposed corporate action. To the extent Superclick elects to so withhold payment, after the effective date of the proposed corporate action, it shall estimate the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest, and shall pay this amount to each dissenter who agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of the dissenter's demand. Superclick shall send with its offer an explanation of how it estimated the fair value of the shares, an explanation of how the interest was calculated, and a statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment under RCW 23B.13.
 
A dissenter may deliver a notice to Superclick informing it of the dissenter's own estimate of the fair value of the dissenter's shares and amount of interest due, and demand payment of the dissenter's estimate, less any payment under RCW 23B.13, or reject Superclick’s offer under RCW 23B.13 and demand payment of the dissenter's estimate of the fair value of the dissenter's shares and interest due, if:

 
67

 

 
·
The dissenter believes that the amount paid under RCW 23B.13 or offered under RCW 23B.13 is less than the fair value of the dissenter's shares or that the interest due is incorrectly calculated;
 
 
·
Superclick fails to make payment under RCW 23B.13 within sixty days after the date set for demanding payment; or
 
 
·
Superclick does not effect the proposed corporate action and does not return the deposited certificates or release the transfer restrictions imposed on uncertificated shares within sixty days after the date set for demanding payment.
 
A dissenter waives such right to demand payment unless the dissenter notifies the corporation of the dissenter's demand under RCW 23B.13.280(1) within thirty days after Superclick made or offered payment for the dissenter's shares.
 
If a demand for payment under RCW 23B.13 remains unsettled, Superclick shall commence a proceeding within sixty days after receiving the payment demand and petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If Superclick does not commence the proceeding within the sixty-day period, it shall pay each dissenter whose demand remains unsettled the amount demanded.
 
Superclick shall commence the proceeding in the superior court of the county where its registered office is located.  Superclick shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of this state, whose demands remain unsettled, parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares and all parties must be served with a copy of the petition. Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by law.
 
Superclick may join as a party to the proceeding any shareholder who claims to be a dissenter but who has not, in the opinion of Superclick, complied with the provisions of RCW 23B.13. If the court determines that such shareholder has not complied with the provisions of RCW 23B.13, the shareholder shall be dismissed as a party.
 
The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under RCW 23B.13 is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the order appointing them, or in any amendment to it. The dissenters are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.
 
Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment (a) for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of the dissenter's shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by Superclick, or (b) for the fair value, plus accrued interest, of the dissenter's after-acquired shares for which Superclick elected to withhold payment under RCW 23B.13.
 
The court in a proceeding commenced under RCW 23B.13 shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against Superclick, except that the court may assess the costs against all or some of the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith in demanding payment RCW 23B.13.

 
68

 

The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:
 
 
·
Against Superclick and in favor of any or all dissenters if the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements of RCW 23B.13; or
 
 
·
Against either Superclick or a dissenter, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by RCW 23B.13.
 
 
·
If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against Superclick, the court may award to these counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the dissenters who were benefited.
 
All notices of intent to demand payment and payment demands and other communications should be addressed to Superclick, Inc., 300-10222 St. Michel, Montreal, Quebec Canada H1H 5H1, Attention: Corporate Secretary, and should be executed by, or on behalf of, the record holder of shares of Superclick common stock. ALL NOTICES OF INTENT TO DEMAND PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED BY SUPERCLICK BEFORE THE VOTE ON THE MERGER AT THE SPECIAL MEETING AT 10:00 A.M. LOCAL TIME ON , DECEMBER 15, 2011.

Proposal 3
 
Advisory Vote On Golden Parachutes
 
Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was enacted as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, requires that we provide our shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the “golden parachute” compensation arrangements for our named executive officers, as disclosed in the section of this proxy statement entitled “The Merger—Interests of Superclick’s Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger” at page 40.
 
We are asking our shareholders to indicate their approval of the various change of control payments which our named executive officers will or may be eligible to receive in connection with the merger. These payments are set forth in the table entitled “Golden Parachute Compensation” under the section of this proxy statement entitled “The Merger—Interests of Superclick’s Executive Officers and Directors in the Merger” and the accompanying footnotes. The various plans and arrangements pursuant to which these compensation payments may be made have previously formed part of Superclick’s overall compensation program for its named executive officers, which has been disclosed to our shareholders as part of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and related sections of our annual proxy statements. These historical arrangements were adopted and approved by the Compensation Committee of Superclick’s board of directors, which is comprised solely of non-management directors, and are believed to be reasonable and competitive with the arrangements being offered by other U.S.-based, general diversified manufacturing companies with similar domestic and international sales and industries.
 
Accordingly, we are seeking approval of the following resolution at the special meeting:
 
“RESOLVED FURTHER, that the shareholders of the Company approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the golden parachute compensation which may be paid to certain of the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the merger.”
 
Shareholders should note that this non-binding proposal regarding golden parachute compensation is merely an advisory vote that will not be binding on Superclick or Parent, their boards of directors or the compensation committees of Superclick or Parent. Further, the underlying plans and arrangements are contractual in nature and not, by their terms, subject to shareholder approval. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote, if the merger is consummated our named executive officers will be eligible to receive the various change of control payments in accordance with the terms or conditions applicable to those payments.

 
70

 

Approval of the non-binding proposal regarding certain merger-related executive compensation arrangements requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal, and actually voting on the proposal, assuming a quorum is present.  For the non-binding proposal regarding certain merger-related executive compensation arrangements, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Abstentions and properly executed broker non-votes, if any, will be counted as present for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting. The failure to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares will not have any effect on the non-binding proposal regarding certain merger-related executive compensation arrangements. No proxy that is specifically marked against adoption of the merger agreement will be voted FOR the non-binding proposal, unless it is specifically marked “FOR” the non-binding proposal.

 
71

 

Proposal 4
 
Adjournment Of The Special Meeting
 
We are submitting a proposal for consideration at the special meeting to authorize the named proxies to approve any adjournments of the special meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt the merger agreement at the time of the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of that meeting. Even though a quorum may be present at the special meeting or any such adjournment or postponement, it is possible that we may not have received sufficient votes to approve and adopt the merger agreement by the time of the special meeting or such adjournment or postponement. In that event, we would need to adjourn the special meeting in order to solicit additional proxies. The adjournment proposal relates only to an adjournment of the special meeting for purposes of soliciting additional proxies to obtain the requisite shareholder approval to adopt the merger agreement. Any other adjournment of the special meeting (e.g., an adjournment required because of the absence of a quorum) would be voted upon pursuant to the discretionary authority granted by the proxy.
 
The proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the special meeting requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal and actually voting on the proposal.
 
To allow the proxies that have been received by us at the time of the special meeting to be voted for an adjournment, if determined necessary or appropriate by Superclick, we are submitting a proposal to approve one or more adjournments, and only under those circumstances, to you for consideration.  Our board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the adjournment proposal so that proxies may be used for that purpose, should it become necessary or appropriate. Properly executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the adjournment proposal, unless otherwise indicated on the proxies. If the special meeting is adjourned for 30 days or less, we are not required to give notice of the time and place of the adjourned meeting unless our board of directors fixes a new record date for the special meeting.
 
The adjournment proposal relates only to an adjournment of the special meeting occurring for purposes of soliciting additional proxies for approval and adoption of the merger agreement proposal in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve and adopt that proposal. Our board of directors retains full authority to the extent set forth in our bylaws and Washington law to adjourn the special meeting for any other purpose, or to postpone the special meeting before it is convened, without the consent of any of our shareholders.

 
72

 

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
If the merger is completed, Superclick will have no public shareholders and no public participation in any of its future shareholder meetings. If the merger is not completed, Superclick shareholders will continue to be entitled to attend and participate in Superclick shareholders meetings and Superclick will hold an annual meeting of shareholders in 2012.
 
As set forth in Superclick’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on May 17, 2011, which is referred to as Superclick’s last proxy statement, notice of any proposal of a shareholder of Superclick intended to be included in Superclick’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to its 2012 annual meeting of shareholders (i.e., Superclick’s next annual meeting) must have been received in writing by Superclick’s Corporate Secretary at 10222 St. Michel, Montreal, Quebec H1H 5H1, by October 17, 2011.
 
Also as set forth in Superclick’s last proxy statement, for any other proposal that a shareholder wishes to have considered at the 2012 annual meeting of Superclick shareholders, and for any nomination of a person for election to the Superclick board of directors at the 2012 annual meeting of Superclick shareholders, Superclick must have received written notice of such proposal or nomination by October 17, 2011.
 
Proposals and nominations that are not received by the dates specified above will be considered untimely. In addition, proposals and nominations must comply with Washington law, Superclick’s bylaws and the rules and regulations of the SEC.
 
You may contact the Corporate Secretary, at Superclick, Inc., 10222 St. Michel, Montreal, Quebec H1H 5H1, for a copy of the relevant bylaw provisions regarding the requirements for making shareholder proposals and nominating director candidates.
 
OTHER MATTERS
 
As of the date of this proxy statement, our board of directors knows of no matters that will be presented for consideration at the special meeting other than as described in this proxy statement. However, if any other matter is properly presented at the special meeting, the shares represented by proxies in the form of the enclosed proxy card will be voted in the discretion of the named proxy holders.

(a)           On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall enter into an agreement with the Exchange Agent relating to the services to be performed by the Exchange Agent and make available to the Exchange Agent cash in an amount sufficient to permit the payment of the Merger Consideration to which the Company Shareholders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.6(a) (including cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares of Company Common Stock) (the “Exchange Fund”).  As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of (i) a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Stock (the “Company Certificates”), or (ii) book-entry shares that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Book-Entry Shares”) the following: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Certificates or the Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Company Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Company Certificates or the Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.  Upon surrender of a Company Certificate for cancellation, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares or upon delivery of an affidavit of lost certificate and an indemnity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent (an “Affidavit”) (together with any required Form W-9 or Form W-8) to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the Exchange Agent shall pay by check to each tendering holder of a Company Certificate, Book-Entry Share or an Affidavit (each, a “Tendering Company Holder”) the Merger Consideration.  No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash payable to holders of Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
 
(b)           After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company or its transfer agent of any shares of the Company’s capital stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, any Company Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Affidavits for lost Company Certificates are presented for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.7.
 
(c)           Until Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are surrendered or an Affidavit with respect to any lost Company Certificates is delivered pursuant to Section 2.7(b), such Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed, for all purposes, to evidence ownership of the right to receive from Parent the Merger Consideration.
 
(d)           Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other Applicable Law.  To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7, none of the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.
 
(f)           Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent or an entity designated by Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with the provisions of this Section 2.7 shall thereafter look only to Parent for any Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.

2.8         Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action.  If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Company and Merger Sub will take all such lawful and reasonably necessary action at the cost and expense of Parent.  Parent shall cause Merger Sub to perform all of its obligations relating to this Agreement and the Transactions.
 
2.9         Adjustments.  Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.
 
2.10       Dissenting Shares.
 
(a)           Dissenters’ Rights.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock that are held by a Company Shareholder of record (or held by a beneficial owner or by a nominee who complies with Section 23B.13.030 of the Act) who, (i) if this Agreement has been approved at the Company Shareholder Meeting, did not vote such shares in favor of the approval of this Agreement and has properly notified the Company of such Company Shareholder’s intent to demand payment for such Company Shareholder’s shares in accordance with Chapter 23B.13 of the Act (and who has neither effectively withdrawn such demand nor lost his, her or its right of dissent) and (ii) following receipt of a dissenters’ notice from the Company, has demanded payment and taken such other actions required by Chapter 23B.13 of the Act (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive any Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6 or any other provision in this Agreement, and such Company Shareholder shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such Company Shareholder by the Act.  If after the Effective Time such Company Shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such Company Shareholder’s right of dissent, such Dissenting Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.6.
 
(b)           Notice of Exercise.  The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any notices of intent to demand payment with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such notices and any other instruments served pursuant to the Act and received by the Company relating to dissenters’ rights and (ii) subject to the provisions of Article 6, the opportunity to participate in the conduct of all negotiations and proceedings with respect to the exercise of dissenters’ rights under the Act.  Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to the exercise of dissenters’ rights or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment with respect to Dissenting Shares.

 (i)           the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may (A) engage in negotiations or discussions with any third party that, subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 6.4(a), has made after the date of this Agreement a Superior Proposal or an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, is, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal by the third party making such Acquisition Proposal and (B) furnish to such third party and its Representatives non-public information relating to the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries and access to the business, properties, assets, books and records of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to Parent) with such third party with terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such third party and (C) take any action required by Applicable Law and any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders the Company to take; and
 
 (ii)          the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change following receipt of an Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal;
 
in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) only if the Company Board determines in good faith by a majority vote, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company Shareholders under Applicable Law.
 
In addition, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from (i) complying with Rule 14d-9 or 14e-2 under the Exchange Act (or making any similar communication to the Company Shareholders in connection with any amendment to the terms of a tender offer or exchange offer) so long as any action taken or statement made to so comply is consistent with this Section 6.4, (ii) disclosing factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company or the fact that an Acquisition Proposal has been made, the identity of the party making such proposal or the material terms of such proposal in the Proxy Statement or otherwise, to the extent the Company in good faith determines that such information, facts, identity or terms is required to be disclosed under Applicable Law or that failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law or (iii) making any statement or disclosure to the Company Shareholders required by Applicable Law; provided, that any such action taken or statement or disclosure made that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board reaffirms the Company Board Recommendations in such statement or disclosure or in connection with such action (except that a mere “stop, look and listen” disclosure in compliance with Rule 14d-9(f) of the 1934 Act shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change).
 
 
48

 
 
(c)           Required Notices. The Company Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in Section 6.4(b) unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action, and, after taking such action, the Company shall, if such action is in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, continue to advise Parent on a current basis on the status and terms of any discussions and negotiations with the third party and the Company is not in breach of any of the other requirements of this Section 6.4.  In addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, any written indication that a third party is considering making an Acquisition Proposal or any request for information relating to the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries by any third party that has indicated it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal.  The Company shall provide such notice orally and in writing and shall identify the third party making, and the terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request.  The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a current basis, of the status and details of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request, and shall promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt) (x) provide to Parent copies of all correspondence and written materials sent or provided to the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries by the third party that describes any terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal and (y) notify Parent after it becomes aware of any breach of this Section 6.4 expressly sanctioned or knowingly permitted by the Company.  Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the Company’s compliance with this Section 6.4(c).
 
(d)           “Last Look”. Further, the Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Acquisition Proposal as permitted by Section 6.4(b)(ii), unless (i) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing at least three (3) Business Days before taking that action, of its intention to do so, attaching the most current version of the proposed agreement under which such Acquisition Proposal is proposed to be consummated and all other contemplated transaction documents (including any agreements with any Company Shareholders or any directors or Employees of the Company) and the identity of the third party making the Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) Parent does not make, within three (3) Business Days after its receipt of that written notification, an offer that the Company Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, is more favorable to the Company Shareholders as such Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the terms of such Acquisition Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company and a new three (3) Business Day period under clause (ii) of this Section 6.4(d)). During any three (3) Business Day period prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.4(d), the Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the Transactions proposed by Parent.

(e)           Definition of Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal, that did not result from or arise out of a violation of Section 6.4(a), for all of the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock or substantially all the assets of the Company that the Company Board determines in good faith by a majority vote, after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, including the expected timing and likelihood of consummation in light of all technical, legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the Acquisition Proposal, any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions, conditions to consummation and the expectation of obtaining required regulatory approvals, is more favorable to the Company Shareholders, including from a financial point of view, than as provided hereunder (taking into account any binding proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.4(d)), that the Company Board determines is reasonably likely to be consummated and for which financing, if a cash transaction (whether in whole or in part), is then fully committed or reasonably determined to be available by the Company Board.
 
(f)            Obligation to Terminate Existing Discussions. The Company shall, and shall cause the Company’s subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any third party and its Representatives and its financing sources conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.  The Company shall promptly request that each third party, if any, that has executed a confidentiality agreement within the 12-month period prior to the date hereof in connection with its consideration of any Acquisition Proposal return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries (and all analyses and other materials prepared by or on behalf of such Person that contains, reflects or analyzes that information), and the Company shall provide to Parent all certifications of such return or destruction from such other Persons as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure all such certifications as promptly as practicable.  If any such Person fails to provide any required certification within the time period allotted in the relevant confidentiality agreement (or if no such period is specified, then within a reasonable time period after the date hereof but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days), then the Company shall take all actions that may be reasonably necessary to secure its rights and ensure the performance of such other party’s obligations thereunder as promptly as practicable.

(a)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other Transactions, including using reasonable efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all reasonable acts necessary to cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article 7 to be satisfied, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid any suit, claim, suit, action arbitration, dispute, investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, (iii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (iv) the defending of any suits, claims, actions, arbitrations, disputes, investigations or proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed and (v) the execution or delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Parent nor any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be under any obligation to consent or otherwise agree to, or to make proposals to sell or otherwise dispose or hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) any assets or categories of assets of Parent, any of its Affiliates or the Company, or hold separate the Company Common Stock (or shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation), or any limitation or regulation on the ability of Parent or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates to freely conduct their business or own assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of the shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation).

(b)           Each of the Company and Parent will give prompt notice to the other of (i) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger, (ii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger, (iii) any litigation relating to, involving or otherwise affecting the Company, Parent or their respective subsidiaries that relates to or may reasonably be expected to affect, the consummation of the Merger.  The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate, or any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 would not be satisfied; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.  Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company of any representation or warranty made by it or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate, or any failure of Parent or Merger Sub to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3 would not be satisfied; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.
 
(c)           In order to facilitate the integration of the operations of Parent and the Company and their subsidiaries and to permit the coordination of their related operations on a timely basis, and in an effort to accelerate the earliest time possible following the Effective Time the benefits expected to be realized by the parties as a result of the Merger, the Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, consult with Parent on all strategic and operational matters to the extent such consultation is not in violation of Applicable Law, including laws regarding exchange of information and other laws regarding competition.  Subject to the foregoing limitations, the Company will, and will cause its subsidiaries to, make available to Parent at its facilities and those of its subsidiaries, where determined by Parent to be appropriate and necessary, office space in order to assist in observing all operations and reviewing all matters concerning the affairs of the Company.

6.11        Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.
 
(a)           For a period of six years after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless the individuals who on or prior to the Closing were officers or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries or were serving at the request of the Company as an officer or director of any other corporation, partnership or joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Closing to the extent provided under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement (including with respect to the advancement of expenses).
 
(b)           Prior to the Closing, Parent shall purchase a “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing covering each such Person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy with a term of six years from the Closing and on terms with respect to coverage and in amounts which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous than those of the policy in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, that in no event shall Parent be required to expend pursuant to this Section 6.11(b) more than an amount equal to 150% of the annual premiums paid by the Company as of the date hereof for its existing officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy.
 
(c)           In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the Surviving Corporation shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.
 
(d)           The provisions of this Section 6.11 (i) shall survive the Closing, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Company Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or Applicable Law.
 
 
53

 

(e)           Any Company Indemnitee wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 6.11, upon learning of an indemnifiable claim, shall promptly notify Parent thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Parent or the Surviving Corporation of any Liability it may have to such Company Indemnitee, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of any such claim, (arising after the Effective Time), (i) Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company Indemnitees (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to such Company Indemnitees for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Company Indemnitees in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent or the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Company Indemnitees advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Parent or the Surviving Corporation and the Company Indemnitees, or between the Company Indemnitees, the Company Indemnitees may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Company Indemnitees promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (e) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Company Indemnitees in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Company Indemnitees would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; provided, that (i) the fewest number of counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall be used, (ii) the Company Indemnitees will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and provided, further, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Company Indemnitee if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Company Indemnitee in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by Applicable Law.

As of Closing, the Employee will continue to be employed by the Company but his employment will be subject to the terms and conditions expressly set out in this Agreement, including but not limited to Exhibit A attached hereto and forming part of this Agreement.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of this Agreement replace in their entirety and supercede those terms and conditions set out in the Employee’s Amended  Executive Employment Agreement signed by the Employee and the Company on March 28, 2011, including any and all amendments thereto and any and all prior terms and conditions as may have been previously agreed to between the Employee and the Company, whether orally or in writing (“Employee’s Former Employment Agreement with Company”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 11 – Proprietary Information and Inventions of the Employee’s Former Employment Agreement with Company shall survive and continue to be of full force and effect.

Upon termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect except for the Company’s applicable obligations under Section 2 of this Agreement regarding the Awards Payment,  the Employee’s obligations under Section 3 of this Agreement regarding Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation, Section 4 of this Agreement regarding enforcement, the Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Acknowledgement Form of Exhibit C of this Agreement and Section 11 – Proprietary Information and Inventions of the Employee’s Former Employment Agreement with Company, all of which shall  survive any such termination of this Agreement and continue to be of full force and effect.  In the event of any such termination the parties may agree to renew or extend the provisions of this Agreement (except for those relating to Awards Payment) or enter into a new agreement on terms and conditions mutually agreed to by the Employee and the Company or AT&T.
 
Employee  acknowledges that the Awards Payment paid to him pursuant to this Agreement is in lieu of and supersedes and is in full satisfaction of any and all entitlement to an indemnity in lieu of notice of dismissal, termination, severance pay, change in control payments and any and all other payments, salary, benefits, bonuses, compensation and or notice requirements relating to the Employee’s termination, resignation, cessation or severance of his employment with the Company as may be provided for or required with respect to the Employee’s Former Employment Agreement with Company, this Agreement, statutory provisions or civil law or common law.

Special Committee of the Board of Directors
Superclick, Inc.
Attn: Mr. Todd M. Pitcher, Chair
10222 St Michel
Suite 300 Montreal, QC H1H 5H1

Re:
Fairness Opinion concerning the acquisition of Superclick, Inc.

Dear Mr. Pitcher:

We understand that there is a proposed transaction involving the acquisition of the capital stock of Superclick, Inc. (“Superclick” or the “Company”) by AT&T Services, Inc. (“AT&T”).

AT&T has proposed a total consideration for the holders of Company Common Stock (“Company Shareholders”) of $0.268 per share, payable in cash at the closing of the proposed transaction. The per share price is calculated on a fully-diluted basis, based on 45,959,870 shares outstanding, and 12,427,381 options with a weighted average strike price of $0.0504. Full details are outlined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 22, 2011 (“Merger Agreement”).

The transaction involving the payment of total consideration is referred to as the “Transaction”.

A merger and acquisition committee of the Board of Directors was formed to evaluate potential transactions involving the Company (“Special Committee”). You have asked us to render an opinion to the Special Committee as to the fairness of the Transaction to the Company Shareholders from a financial point of view (the “Opinion”), subject to a satisfactory review of all necessary information by Vantage Point and the receipt of all internal approvals as at the date of issuance of the Opinion.

Our opinion does not extend to, and we are not delivering any opinion as to, any terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement other than the cash price per share of $0.268 to be paid to the Company Shareholders.

The Opinion does not address the Company’s underlying business decision to effect the Transaction. We have not been asked to, and did not, solicit third-party expressions of interest in acquiring all or any part of the Company’s assets or securities. Additionally, we have not been asked to negotiate the Transaction or advise you with respect to alternatives to it.

In the course of our analyses for rendering the Opinion, among other things, we have performed the following procedures:

In arriving at the Opinion, we have not performed any independent appraisal of the assets or liabilities or securities of Superclick. We have not evaluated the solvency of the Company under any state or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. Our analysis does not constitute an examination, review of, or compilation of prospective financial statements in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”). We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions or whether any of the prospective financial statements, if used, are presented in conformity with AICPA presentation guidelines. Further, there will usually be differences between prospective and actual results because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected and those differences may be material. We are not legal, regulatory, tax or accounting experts and we have relied upon the assessments made by Superclick and its advisors with respect to such issues. We have also assumed the Company is not currently involved in any material transaction other than the Transaction, and those activities undertaken in the ordinary course of conducting its business.
 
We have also assumed that the Transaction will be consummated on the terms as described herein and in the Merger Agreement, and that final terms will not differ in any material respects from the version thereof furnished to us.

The Opinion is furnished solely for your benefit and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of the Company as to how such stockholder should vote with respect to the Transaction. The Opinion is delivered to each recipient subject to the conditions, scope of engagement, limitations and understanding set forth in the Opinion and subject to the understanding that the obligations of Vantage Point Advisors, Inc. in the Transaction are solely corporate obligations. Furthermore, no officer, director, employee or shareholder of Vantage Point Advisors, Inc. shall be subjected to any personal liability whatsoever to any person, nor will any such claim be asserted by or on behalf of you or your officers, directors, agents or affiliates.

We have acted as financial advisor to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with this transaction and will receive a fee for our services. No portion of the fee is contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction or the conclusions reached in the Opinion.

On the basis of the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and conditions set forth herein, it is our opinion that as of the date hereof, the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company Shareholders.

Very truly yours,


Vantage Point Advisors, Inc.

(2) The shareholder who demands payment and deposits the shareholder's share certificates under subsection (1) of this section retains all other rights of a shareholder until the proposed corporate action is effected.

(3) A shareholder who does not demand payment or deposit the shareholder's share certificates where required, each by the date set in the notice, is not entitled to payment for the shareholder's shares under this chapter.
 
[2002 c 297 § 39; 1989 c 165 § 146.]
 
Notes:
 
*Reviser's note: RCW 23B.13.220 was amended by 2009 c 189 § 44, changing subsection (2)(c) to subsection (3)(c).
 
23B.13.240
Share restrictions.

(1) The corporation may restrict the transfer of uncertificated shares from the date the demand for payment under RCW 23B.13.230 is received until the proposed corporate action is effected or the restriction is released under RCW 23B.13.260.

 
 

 

(2) The person for whom dissenters' rights are asserted as to uncertificated shares retains all other rights of a shareholder until the effective date of the proposed corporate action.
 
[2009 c 189 § 45; 1989 c 165 § 147.]
 
23B.13.250
Payment.

(1) Except as provided in RCW 23B.13.270, within thirty days of the later of the effective date of the proposed corporate action, or the date the payment demand is received, the corporation shall pay each dissenter who complied with RCW 23B.13.230 the amount the corporation estimates to be the fair value of the shareholder's shares, plus accrued interest.

(2) The payment must be accompanied by:

(a) The corporation's balance sheet as of the end of a fiscal year ending not more than sixteen months before the date of payment, an income statement for that year, a statement of changes in shareholders' equity for that year, and the latest available interim financial statements, if any;

(b) An explanation of how the corporation estimated the fair value of the shares;

(c) An explanation of how the interest was calculated;

Failure to take corporate action.

(1) If the corporation does not effect the proposed corporate action within sixty days after the date set for demanding payment and depositing share certificates, the corporation shall return the deposited certificates and release any transfer restrictions imposed on uncertificated shares.

(2) If after returning deposited certificates and releasing transfer restrictions, the corporation wishes to effect the proposed corporate action, it must send a new dissenters' notice under RCW 23B.13.220 and repeat the payment demand procedure.

[2009 c 189 § 46; 1989 c 165 § 149.]

23B.13.270
After-acquired shares.

(1) A corporation may elect to withhold payment required by RCW 23B.13.250 from a dissenter unless the dissenter was the beneficial owner of the shares before the date set forth in the dissenters' notice as the date of the first announcement to news media or to shareholders of the terms of the proposed corporate action.

(2) To the extent the corporation elects to withhold payment under subsection (1) of this section, after the effective date of the proposed corporate action, it shall estimate the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest, and shall pay this amount to each dissenter who agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of the dissenter's demand. The corporation shall send with its offer an explanation of how it estimated the fair value of the shares, an explanation of how the interest was calculated, and a statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment under RCW 23B.13.280.

[2009 c 189 § 47; 1989 c 165 § 150.]

 
 

 

23B.13.280
Procedure if shareholder dissatisfied with payment or offer.

(1) A dissenter may deliver a notice to the corporation informing the corporation of the dissenter's own estimate of the fair value of the dissenter's shares and amount of interest due, and demand payment of the dissenter's estimate, less any payment under RCW 23B.13.250, or reject the corporation's offer under RCW 23B.13.270 and demand payment of the dissenter's estimate of the fair value of the dissenter's shares and interest due, if:

(a) The dissenter believes that the amount paid under RCW 23B.13.250 or offered under RCW 23B.13.270 is less than the fair value of the dissenter's shares or that the interest due is incorrectly calculated;

(b) The corporation fails to make payment under RCW 23B.13.250 within sixty days after the date set for demanding payment; or

(c) The corporation does not effect the proposed corporate action and does not return the deposited certificates or release the transfer restrictions imposed on uncertificated shares within sixty days after the date set for demanding payment.

(2) A dissenter waives the right to demand payment under this section unless the dissenter notifies the corporation of the dissenter's demand under subsection (1) of this section within thirty days after the corporation made or offered payment for the dissenter's shares.

[2009 c 189 § 48; 2002 c 297 § 40; 1989 c 165 § 151.]

23B.13.300
Court action.

(1) If a demand for payment under RCW 23B.13.280 remains unsettled, the corporation shall commence a proceeding within sixty days after receiving the payment demand and petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If the corporation does not commence the proceeding within the sixty-day period, it shall pay each dissenter whose demand remains unsettled the amount demanded.

(2) The corporation shall commence the proceeding in the superior court of the county where a corporation's principal office, or, if none in this state, its registered office, is located. If the corporation is a foreign corporation without a registered office in this state, it shall commence the proceeding in the county in this state where the registered office of the domestic corporation merged with or whose shares were acquired by the foreign corporation was located.

(3) The corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of this state, whose demands remain unsettled, parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares and all parties must be served with a copy of the petition. Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by law.

(4) The corporation may join as a party to the proceeding any shareholder who claims to be a dissenter but who has not, in the opinion of the corporation, complied with the provisions of this chapter. If the court determines that such shareholder has not complied with the provisions of this chapter, the shareholder shall be dismissed as a party.

(5) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection (2) of this section is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the order appointing them, or in any amendment to it. The dissenters are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.

 
 

 

(6) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment (a) for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of the dissenter's shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation, or (b) for the fair value, plus accrued interest, of the dissenter's after-acquired shares for which the corporation elected to withhold payment under RCW 23B.13.270.

[1989 c 165 § 152.]

23B.13.310
Court costs and counsel fees.

(1) The court in a proceeding commenced under RCW 23B.13.300 shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court may assess the costs against all or some of the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith in demanding payment under RCW 23B.13.280.

(2) The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

(a) Against the corporation and in favor of any or all dissenters if the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements of RCW 23B.13.200 through 23B.13.280; or

(b) Against either the corporation or a dissenter, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by chapter 23B.13 RCW.

(3) If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may award to these counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the dissenters who were benefited.

[1989 c 165 § 153.]
