Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed, on September 28, 2018, CafePress Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Snapfish, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Parent”) and Snapfish Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares (the “Shares) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, at a price of $1.48 per share in cash, without interest (the “Offer Price”), subject to any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated October 12, 2018 (as amended or supplemented from time to time), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (as amended or supplemented from time to time).

The Offer expired at midnight, New York time at the end of November 8, 2018 (the “Expiration Time”). The depositary and paying agent for the Offer advised that, as of the Expiration Time, a total of 14,235,152 Shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, which tendered Shares represented approximately 82.9% of the outstanding Shares as of the Expiration Time (not including 90,620 Shares delivered through Notices of Guaranteed Delivery, representing approximately 0.5% of the Shares outstanding). Merger Sub accepted for exchange all such Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

On November 9, 2018, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Parent completed its acquisition of CafePress when Merger Sub merged with and into CafePress (the “Merger”), with CafePress continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

The Merger was governed by Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), with no stockholder vote required to consummate the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share (other than the Shares held in the treasury of the Company, Shares held owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other affiliate of Parent, and Shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in accordance with applicable law, which were canceled and extinguished) was converted into the right to receive the Offer Price.

The Offer Price and related costs and expenses were funded from (i) available cash on hand, and (ii) cash on hand at CafePress.

The foregoing descriptions of the Offer, the Merger and the Merger Agreement in this Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to CafePress’ Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 28, 2018 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.01.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

Prior to the market opening on November 9, 2018, as a result of the transactions described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference, CafePress (i) notified the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) of the consummation of the Merger and (ii) requested that Nasdaq file a Form 25 Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration to delist and deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Shares will have ceased trading on the Nasdaq immediately prior to opening of trading on November 9, 2018. CafePress also intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting the deregistration of the Shares and the suspension of reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

Item 3.03.

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

As a result of the Merger, each Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Shares held in the treasury of the Company, Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other affiliate of Parent, and Shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in accordance with applicable law,


which were canceled and extinguished) was converted, at the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Offer Price. Accordingly, at the Effective Time, the holders of such Shares ceased to have any rights as stockholders of CafePress, other than the right to receive the Offer Price.

The information set forth in Items 2.01, 3.01, 5.01 and 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

 

Item 5.01.

Changes in Control of Registrant.

As a result of Merger Sub’s acceptance for payment of all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer, a change in control of CafePress occurred. Upon the Effective Time, Merger Sub merged with and into CafePress, with CafePress continuing as the Surviving Corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

The information set forth in Item 2.01 and Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.

 

Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, as of the Effective Time, each of Anthony C. Allen, Mary Ann Arico, Fred E. Durham III, Alan B. Howe and Kenneth T. McBride (collectively, the “Former Directors”) ceased serving as members of the board of directors of CafePress and, in connection therewith, the Former Directors also ceased serving on any committees of which such Former Directors were members.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, on November 9, 2018, CafePress entered into a Separation Agreement and General Waiver and Release (the “Separation Agreement”), with Fred E. Durham III, CafePress’ Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Separation Agreements, as of the Effective Time, Mr. Durham ceased to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

In connection with his separation from employment and in exchange for the execution of a release of claims pursuant to the Separation Agreements, Mr. Durham is entitled to receive a lump sum payment in the gross amount of $125,000 as provided for under the terms of CafePress’ Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement for Senior Management.

This summary of the Separation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the Separation Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this item 5.02.

 

Item 5.03.

Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

At the Effective Time, (a) the certificate of incorporation of CafePress was amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement and (b) the bylaws of CafePress were amended and restated in their entirety as set forth in Exhibit C to the Merger Agreement.

Copies of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company are attached as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2 respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

1.1    Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President or, if not so designated, at the principal office of the corporation. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in a manner consistent with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

1.2    Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date and at a time designated by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, or the President (which date shall not be a legal holiday in the place where the meeting is to be held).

1.3    Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by only the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, or the President, and may not be called by any other person or persons. The Board of Directors may postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

1.4    Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to stockholders, any notice shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to (in a manner consistent with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, if any, date and time of the meeting and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting. The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If notice is given by mail, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed given at the time specified in Section 232 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

1.5    Voting List. The Secretary shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. If the meeting is to


be held at a physical location (and not solely by means of remote communication), then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. The list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

1.6    Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of capital stock is required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

1.7    Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned from time to time to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws by the chairman of the meeting or by the stockholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum. It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment of less than 30 days if the time and place, if any, of the adjourned meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which adjournment is taken, unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

1.8    Voting and Proxies. Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote held of record by such stockholder and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or to express consent or dissent to corporate action without a meeting, may vote or express such consent or dissent in person (including by means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) or may authorize another person or persons to vote or act for such stockholder by a proxy executed or transmitted in a manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized agent and delivered (including by electronic transmission) to the Secretary of the corporation. No such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period.

 

2


1.9    Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, any matter other than the election of directors to be voted upon by the stockholders at such meeting shall be decided by the vote of the holders of shares of stock having a majority in voting power of the votes cast by the holders of all of the shares of stock present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter (or if there are two or more classes or series of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class or series, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of that class or series present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter), except when a different vote is required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. When a quorum is present at any meeting, any election by stockholders of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election.

1.10    Conduct of Meetings.

(a)    Chairman of Meeting. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the Chairman’s absence by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the Vice Chairman’s absence by the President, or in the President’s absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of all of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen by vote of the stockholders at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the Secretary’s absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

(b)    Rules, Regulations and Procedures. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders of the corporation as it shall deem appropriate including, without limitation, such guidelines and procedures as it may deem appropriate regarding the participation by means of remote communication of stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules, regulations and procedures as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as shall be determined; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

1.11    Action without Meeting.

(a)    Taking of Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on such action were present and voted. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, stockholders may act by written consent to elect directors; provided, however, that, if such consent is less than unanimous, such action by written consent may be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by such action.

(b)    Electronic Transmission of Consents. A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (i) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to a corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on delivery, consents given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission may be otherwise delivered to the principal place of business of the corporation or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded if, to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the Board of Directors. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

(c)    Notice of Taking of Corporate Action. Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the corporation.

Company and Employee agree that the release set forth in this section shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete and general release as to the matters released. It is the intention of the parties in executing this Agreement that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every matter released herein and that, should any proceeding be instituted with respect to matters released herein, this Agreement shall be deemed in full and complete accord, satisfaction and settlement of any such released matter and sufficient basis for its dismissal. This release does not extend to any obligations incurred under this Agreement.


5. Time To Consider Agreement; Knowing and Voluntary Agreement. Employee understands and agrees that: (a) Employee has had up to twenty one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement before executing it; (b) Employee has reviewed all aspects of this Agreement; (c) Employee has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement; (d) Employee understands that in agreeing to this document he is releasing Company from any and all causes of action or lawsuits he may have against it; (e) Employee knowingly and voluntarily agrees to all the terms set forth in this Agreement; (f) Employee was advised and hereby is advised in writing to consider the terms of this Agreement and consult with an attorney of his choice prior to executing this agreement; (g) Employee has a full seven (7) days following the execution of this Agreement and has been and hereby is advised in writing that this Agreement will not become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired. To revoke, the Employee must send a written statement of revocation by certified mail to Maryanne Foy, 100 Montgomery St., 10th Floor, San Francisco, California 94104; and (h) Employee understands that rights or claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 that may arise after the date of this Agreement is executed are not waived.

6. No Pending or Future Lawsuits. Except as described below, Employee agrees not to file any lawsuit or bring any cause of action against Company or any other person or entity referred to herein, in any court or administrative agency, with regard to any dispute, demand, liability or obligation arising out of Employee’s employment with Company or separation therefrom. Employee further represents that no claims, complaints, charges or other proceedings are pending in any court, administrative agency, commission or other forum relating directly to his employment with Company; however, nothing in this Agreement precludes Employee from filing a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or other federal, state, or local governmental agency. In addition, in spite of this Agreement, the Employee still retains the right to challenge the knowing and voluntary nature of this Agreement under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”) and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) before a court, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or any state or local agency permitted to enforce those laws, and this release does not impose any penalty or condition for doing so. The Employee understands, however, that if he successfully pursues a claim against Company under the OWBPA or the ADEA, Company may seek to set off the amount paid to him for signing the release against any amount he obtains. If Employee unsuccessfully pursues a claim against Company under the OWBPA or the ADEA, then Company may be entitled to recover its costs and attorneys’ fees to the extent specifically authorized by federal law.
