1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on the historical information of Averion Corporation (“Averion”, “we”, or the “Company”) and Hesperion Ltd. after giving effect to the acquisition of Hesperion by Averion using the purchase method of accounting and applying the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes.
2. Description of Acquisition
HESPERION ACQUISITION
Hesperion was founded in 1996 and is a contract research organization with specific expertise in cardiology and oncology. Hesperion has focused on establishing clinical development partnerships with medical device, biotech and pharmaceutical companies and has employed clinical research professionals with expertise in medical and regulatory affairs, clinical operations, data management and statistics in the following countries: Switzerland, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia and Israel
On October 31, 2007 (the “Cerep Closing Date”), we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Cerep SPA”) with Cerep S.A., a French corporation (“Cerep”), pursuant to which we purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Hesperion Ltd., a Swiss corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cerep (“Hesperion”), for an aggregate purchase price of Twenty Five Million Euros (€25,000,000) as follows: (i) on the Cerep Closing Date, we paid Cerep Twenty Million Euros (€20,000,000) in cash; and (ii) within thirty (30) days after the Cerep Closing Date, we are obligated to either (a) issue Cerep a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of Five Million Euros (€5,000,000) secured by an irrevocable and on demand stand-by letter of credit issued by a reputable international bank selected by us, or (b) issue Cerep a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Euros (€2,500,000) and pay Cerep an additional Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Euros (€2,500,000) in cash (collectively, the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price was paid with funds received from the Debt Financing Transaction (as defined below), a portion of which funds were provided to us by certain of our affiliates as described below in Item 1.01 under the heading “Financing Transaction.”
The entire unpaid principal balance of the promissory note to be issued as part of the Purchase Price within thirty (30) days after the Cerep Closing Date, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, will become due and payable by us to Cerep on October 31, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”). In addition, this promissory note will bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum and shall be paid quarterly in arrears beginning on January 31, 2008 and on the last day of each and every quarterly period thereafter until the Maturity Date.
FINANCING TRANSACTION
On October 31, 2007 (the “Debt Financing Closing Date”), we also entered into the following agreements pursuant to which we sold Twenty Four Million Dollars ($24,000,000) of senior secured notes (the “Notes”) and issued an aggregate of one hundred fifteen million two hundred thousand (115,200,000) shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) (the “Debt Financing Transaction”) to ComVest Investment Partners II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ComVest”), Cumulus Investors, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Cumulus”), and Dr. Philip T. Lavin (“Lavin” and together with ComVest and Cumulus, each a “Buyer” and collectively, the “Buyers”): (i) a Securities Purchase Agreement between us and the Buyers (the “Debt SPA”); (ii) a Registration Rights Agreement between us and the Buyers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”); (iii) a Pledge Agreement between us and Cumulus, in its capacity as collateral agent for the Buyers (the “Collateral Agent”) (the “Pledge Agreement”); (iv) a Security Agreement between us, Averion Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Averion Inc.”), and IT&E International, a California corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary (“IT&E”), on the one hand, and the Buyers and Collateral Agent, on the other hand (the “Security Agreement”); and (v) a Guaranty in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Buyers which was executed by Averion Inc. and IT&E (the “Guaranty”).
ComVest, which beneficially owned directly or through affiliates approximately 52.98% of our outstanding common stock immediately prior to the Debt Financing Closing Date, purchased a Note in the principal amount of Eleven Million Dollars ($11,000,000) and was issued fifty two million eight hundred thousand (52,800,000) Shares in connection therewith. After the Second Closing (defined below), ComVest, or its affiliates, beneficially own approximately 50.84% of our common stock. Michael Falk, chairman of our board of directors (the “Board”) and Cecilio Rodriguez, one of our directors, are affiliates of ComVest. In addition, Lavin, one of our directors, our current Executive Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer, and who beneficially owned directly or through affiliates approximately 21.12% of our outstanding common stock immediately prior to the Debt Financing Closing Date, purchased a Note in the principal amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) and was issued nine million six hundred thousand (9,600,000) Shares in connection therewith. After the Second Closing, Lavin, or his affiliates, beneficially own approximately 18.43% of our common stock.
Debt SPA
Pursuant to the Debt SPA, we are obligated to sell and the Buyers are obligated to buy Notes in the aggregate principal amount of Twenty Six Million Dollars ($26,000,000) and shares of our common stock in the aggregate amount of one hundred twenty four million eight hundred thousand (124,800,000) Shares as follows: (i) on the Debt Financing Closing Date, we sold and issued to the Buyers and the Buyers purchased from us Notes in the aggregate principal amount of Twenty Four Million Dollars ($24,000,000) and shares of our common stock in the aggregate amount of one hundred fifteen million two hundred thousand (115,200,000) Shares; and (ii) within thirty (30) days after the Debt Financing Closing Date, we are obligated to sell and certain Buyers are obligated to buy from us Notes in the aggregate principal amount of an additional Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) and shares of our common stock in the aggregate amount of nine million six hundred thousand (9,600,000) Shares (the “Second Closing”).
Notes
We will pay interest on the Notes quarterly in arrears, beginning with the calendar quarter that commenced on October 1, 2007 as follows: (i) for the period commencing on the Debt Financing Closing Date and ending on the first (1st) anniversary thereafter, three percent (3%) per annum; (ii) for the period commencing on the first (1st) anniversary of the Debt Financing Closing Date and ending on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Debt Financing Closing Date, ten percent (10%) per annum; and (iii) for the period commencing on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Debt Financing Closing Date and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Debt Financing Closing Date, fifteen percent (15%) per annum. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Notes, plus all accrued interest thereon remaining unpaid, shall be due and payable by us to the Buyers on October 31, 2010 (the “Debt Maturity Date”). In addition, we have agreed to certain financial covenants as set forth in the Notes. If we breach any of the financial covenants set forth in the Notes, we will be required to make certain payments to the holders of the Notes.
3. Pro Forma Adjustments –
a) | To record the net cash used in and issuance of notes and stock to perform the Hesperion acquisition. |
b) | To record the accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and property, plant and equipment at fair value; record estimated fair value of acquired identifiable intangible assets; and record the value of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired to goodwill. |
c) | To establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in the acquired business due to uncertainty regarding the realization of these assets. The valuation allowance is partly due to local tax laws where open tax issues exist concerning what implications a change of ownership in the acquired business will have on the carry forward of losses incurred before the combination. |
d) | To eliminate the historical shareholders’ equity of Hesperion. |
