Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Acquisition of Protocom
On July 26, 2005, ActivCard Corp. entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire the outstanding capital stock of Protocom Development Systems Pty Ltd (“Protocom”), a privately held Australian-based company. Following the transaction, which is expected to close on or about August 5, 2005, Protocom will become a wholly owned subsidiary of ActivCard. A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.
Pursuant to the Agreement, ActivCard will pay initial consideration of $21.0 million and issue 1,650,000 shares of common stock. ActivCard will be required to issue up to an additional 2,100,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Agreement based upon Protocom’s revenues during the one-year period ending June 30, 2006, with a revenue target of $18.7 million during this period. A total of 15% of the initial cash and stock consideration payable under the Agreement will be held in escrow for one year from closing to satisfy post-closing indemnification claims.
Upon closing of the acquisition, Jason Hart, Chief Executive Officer of Protocom, will be elected to the ActivCard board of directors and as ActivCard’s Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing. Mr. Hart will fill a vacancy on the ActivCard board to be created with the resignation of Yves Audebert as a director, which will be effective upon the completion of the acquisition.
ActivCard issued a press release on July 27, 2005 announcing the transaction. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Executive Officer Employment Agreement
On July 27, 2005, ActivCard announced that it had elected Thomas Jahn as the Company’s Chief Restructuring and Integration Officer. Mr. Jahn will receive an annual base salary of $210,000 and an initial stock option grant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant (the “Option”). The Option will vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant and will remain exercisable for one year following Mr. Jahn’s termination of service.
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
