| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
“On October 4, 2017, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Icynene U.S. Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Blaze Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger as the wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than any shares held by the Issuer as treasury shares or shares held by Parent, Merger Sub, or any other wholly owned affiliate of Parent and those shares with respect to which appraisal rights under Delaware law are properly exercised and not withdrawn) will be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive $1.03 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).
As of the effective time of the Merger, each stock option of the Issuer that is outstanding and unexercised immediately before the effective time will be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such stock option, without interest, less any required withholding taxes.
Also on October 4, 2017, the Reporting Person entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Parent with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him as set forth in the Voting Agreement (the “Voting Shares”).
Page 3 of 6
Under the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Person agreed to take the following actions, among others, during the term of the Voting Agreement: (1) vote the Voting Shares in favor of (A) any proposal to adopt and approve or reapprove the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (B) waiving any notice that may have been or may be required relating to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Voting Agreement, and (2) vote the Voting Shares against (A) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Voting Agreement or the Merger Agreement, (B) any offer, proposal, inquiry or indication of interest relating to any direct or indirect transaction or series of transactions with any Person other than Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries (“Acquisition Proposal”) or an inquiry, indication of interest or request for information, or the making of any proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal (“Acquisition Inquiry”) and any action in furtherance of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and (C) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that, to the knowledge of the Reporting Person, would reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Reporting Person or the Issuer under this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.
Under the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Person granted to Parent (and its designees) an irrevocable proxy to vote the Voting Shares as provided above. The Voting Agreement, including the irrevocable proxies granted thereunder, will terminate upon (1) the mutual written consent of Parent and the Reporting Person, (2) the effective time of the Merger, (3) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, or (4) the time of any material modification, waiver or amendment of the Merger Agreement that reduces or changes the form of the Per Share Merger Consideration or which is otherwise adverse to the Reporting Person in any material respect, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Reporting Person.
The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.18 and 10.19, respectively, hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.”
