12. Subsequent Events

 

On July 17, 2012, Synergy collected its 2011 New York City Biotechnology Tax Credit of $120,812.

 

On July 20, 2012, Synergy entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Callisto.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, following the satisfaction or waiver of each of the applicable conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Callisto and Synergy will merge (the “Merger”), whereupon Callisto’s separate corporate existence will cease and Synergy will continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger.  Callisto is Synergy’s largest shareholder and is a development stage biopharmaceutical company focused primarily on the development of drugs to treat gastrointestinal disorders and diseases.

 

As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of Callisto common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.17 of one share of Synergy common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”) as set forth in the Merger Agreement and the 22,295,000 shares of Synergy held by Callisto will be canceled. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement at closing, Synergy will issue, and Callisto stockholders will receive in a tax-free exchange, shares of Synergy common stock such that Callisto stockholders will own approximately 38.3 percent of the combined company on a pro forma basis and Synergy stockholders will own approximately 61.7 percent. Each share of Synergy Common Stock received in connection with the Merger shall be subject to a lock-up beginning on the effective date of the Merger and ending on the earlier of (i) eighteen (18) months after such date or (ii) a Change in Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

The consummation of the Merger is subject to various customary closing conditions, including but not limited to, (i) approval by Callisto’s and Synergy’s stockholders, (ii) the Registration Statement on Form S-4 shall have been declared effective by the SEC and (iii) the shares of Synergy common stock to be issued in the Merger shall have been approved for listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Upon consummation of the Merger the related party balances due from Callisto, $1,936,609 as of June 30, 2012 (See Note 11), will be eliminated in consolidation.  Callisto’s common stock currently trades on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “CLSP.OB”, and Callisto’s recent filings with the SEC are available at http://www.sec.gov.
