Note 11. Shareholder Rights Plan

 

On October 12, 2020, the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan by entering into a Rights Agreement with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“Rights Plan”). The Rights Plan is designed to ensure that all of the Company’s shareholders would receive fair treatment in any potential takeover of the Company. The Company implemented the Rights Plan by issuing one Purchase Right (“Right”) for each share of common stock outstanding on October 22, 2020.

 

The Rights Plan provides that in the event any person becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the outstanding common shares, each Right (other than any Rights held by the 15% shareholder) will be exercisable, on and after the close of business on the tenth business day following such event, for the purchase of a number of shares of common stock (or equivalent securities, such as one-hundredths of the Company’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares) equal to the exercise price (initially $15.00) divided by 25% of the then current fair market value of the common stock. The Rights Plan further provides that if, on or after the occurrence of such event, the Company is merged into any other corporation or 50% or more of the Company’s assets or earning power are sold, each Right (other than any Rights held by the 15% shareholder) will be exercisable to purchase a similar number of securities of the acquiring corporation.

 

The Rights expire on October 22, 2025 (unless previously triggered) and are subject to redemption by the Board of Directors at $0.001 per Right at any time prior to the first date upon which they become exercisable to purchase common shares.
