MERGER AND SUBSEQUENT SALE  
3. MERGER AND SUBSEQUENT SALE

On November 30, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with the EllisLab, Inc., Rick Ellis (“Ellis”), and EllisLab Corp., a newly formed Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which EllisLab, Inc. merged with and into EllisLab Corp. (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Ellis received 36,000 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $100 per share, in exchange for the cancellation of all common shares of EllisLab, Inc. owned by Ellis, which shares represented 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of EllisLab, Inc. The separate legal existence of EllisLab, Inc. ceased, and EllisLab Corp. became the surviving company.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Ellis agreed to a covenant not to compete for a period of two years following the effective date of the Merger (the “Non-Competition Period”). Ellis further agreed that during the Non-Competition Period, he will not directly or indirectly solicit or agree to service for his benefit or the benefit of any third-party, any of the Company’s, Digital Locations’, or EllisLab Corp.’s customers.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, during the period beginning on the effective date and ending on the 24 month anniversary thereof, Ellis will not directly or indirectly (i) offer, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, hedge, pledge, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any portion of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, or any shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, beneficially owned, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Each of the parties to the Merger Agreement made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement.

 

On November 30, 2018, in connection with and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Derek Jones (“Jones”), whereby the Company issued to Jones an option to purchase 444,445 shares of the Common stock of the Company, at an exercise price of $1.13 (the “Option”), in exchange for his surrender of an option to purchase 10% of the shares of outstanding common stock of EllisLab, Inc. The Option vested but may not be exercised for two years from the date of the Merger. The option contains a blocker that prevents Jones from exercising the Option if such exercise would result in beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s stock, without at least 61 days of prior notice. Under the Option, Jones is also subject to the Rule 144 restrictions of an affiliate.

 

The acquisition of EllisLab, Inc. in the Merger was accounted for as a purchase, and the accounts of EllisLab Corp. are consolidated with those of the Company as of December 1, 2018. The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to estimate the value of the consideration paid by the Company in the Merger, consisting of the issuance of 36,000 shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value Series C Convertible Preferred Stock to Ellis, valued at $4,345,866, and 444,445 stock options to purchase common shares of the Company to Jones, valued at $599,998.
