Holdings Ltd., under those certain conditions set forth in the Agreement. Final number of shares to be purchased upon the exercise of the option shall be determined by A.O. Tzidon Ltd. and Aviv Tzidon.
Introduction
On December 12, 2010, Greenstone Industries Ltd. (“Greenstone” or the “Reporting Person”), a public Israeli company traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with A.O. Tzidon Ltd. and Aviv Tzidon (together, the “Seller”).
Per the Agreement, Greenstone provided to Seller a loan in the amount of $12,500,000 which, subject to certain provisions, may be increased to $13,600,000 (the “Loan”) for purpose of exercising an option granted to the Seller under a certain agreement entered into on September 8, 2010, to purchase 58,142,608 ordinary shares, par value NIS 1.00 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) of R.V.B. Holdings Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (the “Issuer”) from Chun Holdings Limited Partnership (“Chun LP”).
The Loan bears an annual interest of 5% and is to be repaid by the Seller two months after Greenstone announces it will not exercise the option granted to it, as detailed below.
To secure the Loan (including interest thereto and interest for late payments, if applicable), the Seller pledged to the benefit of Greenstone, in a fixed and floating pledge of the first degree, all of the Issuer shares held by Seller, namely 59,142,608 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. Subject to certain exemptions relating to the distribution of dividends, such fixed and floating pledge will also apply to all rights attached and/or deriving from the Issuer shares held by the Seller. In addition, to further secure the repayment of the Loan, 59,142,608 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer were transferred by the Seller to Yigal Arnon & Co. - Trust Company Ltd. who is holding such shares as a trustee for Greenstone. The Seller holds voting rights, through a proxy, to vote in respect of all such shares provided, however, that from the date of the Greenstone Agreement and until the full repayment of the Loan or the closing of the Greenstone Option (as defined below), the Seller has undertaken, as shareholders and subject to the provisions of any law, to make best efforts, to cause that certain actions will not be performed by the Issuer, including, among others, changes in the Issuer's capital, the entering into new business, the distribution of dividends while the Greenstone Option has not been exercised etc.
In addition, as part of the Agreement, the Seller undertook to make its best efforts to purchase additional shares of the Issuer, which shall bring its holdings in the Issuer to 57.5% of the issued share capital of the Issuer (not taking into account 930,000 dormant shares of the Issuer which are held by the Issuer). Should the Seller pledge such additional shares of the Issuer to the benefit of Greenstone the loan amount shall be increased by an additional $1,100,000, which shall be deemed part of the Loan for all intents and purposes.
During a period of 90 days from the date of the provision of the Loan, namely December 16, 2010 (the “Option Period”), Greenstone was granted an option to purchase from the Seller Ordinary Shares of the Issuer which shall constitute on the date of the exercise of the option not less than 50.14% and not more than 65.0% of the issued share capital of the Issuer (not taking into account 930,000 dormant shares of the Issuer which are held by the Issuer) (the “Option Shares” and the “Greenstone Option” respectively). Final number of Option Shares to be purchased by Greenstone upon the exercise of the Greenstone Op tion shall be determined by the Seller (within the range described above).
The consideration to be paid for the Option Shares shall be equal to the percentage of the Option Shares from the issued shares capital of the Issuer (not taking into account 930,000 dormant shares of the Issuer which are held by the Issuer) multiplied by the cash amount held by the Issuer (which shall not be less than $31,500,000) after deduction of obligations of the Issuer on the date of exercise of the Greenstone Option, plus $1,000,000 (the “Exercise Price”). The Loan provided until such date, including accrued interest, shall be deducted from the Exercise Price such that the Loan amount shall be deemed a payment on account of the Exercise Price. Should Greenstone exercise the Greenstone Option while holders of all other convertible securities of the Issu er have not converted their securities into Ordinary Shares of the Issuer prior to the date of exercise of the Greenstone Option as aforesaid, Aviv Tzidon will also transfer to Greenstone his options to purchase 1,800,000 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, free of charge.
In addition, as part of the Greenstone Agreement, Seller undertook to indemnify Greenstone for any damages and/or loss and/or expenditure which it will incur if one of the representations provided in the Greenstone Agreement is not true or misleading and/or as a result of a claim made against the Issuer relating to the period ending on the closing date of the Greenstone Option and/or as a result of any tax liabilities or other payments to any governmental authority which will apply to the Issuer and which will relate to the period ending on the closing date of the Greenstone Option.
