Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
As described below, Parent did not purchase the shares of Common Stock, and thus no funds were used for such purpose. The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 29, 2012, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Parent and Blackwater Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a subsidiary of Parent that provides for the acquisition of the Company by Parent by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company with the Company surviving (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. As an inducement for Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement and in consideration thereof, Philip Oliver Tracy, Michael D. Suder, Dale T. Chatagnier, Francis A. Marrocco, William Daniel Weidner III, William Gore, Donald St. Pierre and Herbert N. Whitney (collectively, the “Securityholders,” and the shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by them as identified in the Voting Agreement, collectively referred to as the “Covered Shares”), entered into a Voting Agreement with Parent, dated June 29, 2012, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and more fully described in Item 4, whereby, subject to the terms of such Voting Agreement, each Securityholder agreed, among other things, that, at every meeting of the Company’s stockholders called, such Securityholder would vote the Covered Shares then held by him in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and against the approval of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each of the Securityholders also granted Parent an irrevocable proxy granting Parent the right to vote such shares in favor of such matters (references to the Voting Agreement herein include each of the proxies). Parent did not pay additional consideration to the Securityholders in exchange for the Voting Agreement.
References to, and descriptions of, the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement throughout this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement included as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D and the Voting Agreement included as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D, respectively. These agreements are incorporated into this Schedule 13D where such references and descriptions appear.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
(a)-(b) As described in Item 3 above, this Schedule 13D relates to the proposed acquisition of the Company by Parent pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. To induce Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Securityholders entered into the Voting Agreement. The purpose of the Voting Agreement is to facilitate the consummation of the merger.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time and as a result of the Merger:
| · | Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, other than (i) any shares held by any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which shares shall remain outstanding except that the number of such shares shall be appropriately adjusted in the Merger, and (ii) any shares specifically excluded in the Merger Agreement, shall thereupon be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive $0.64 in cash without any interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”); |
| · | Each outstanding Company Stock Option (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), whether vested or unvested, shall, upon receipt of the shareholder approval, become fully vested and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of common stock subject to such Company Stock Option and (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of common stock subject to such Company Stock Option, less any required withholdings; and |
| · | All Notes (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) that give notice of their intention to convert immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at such time, be converted into the number of shares of common stock obtained by dividing the total amount owed under each applicable note by $0.40, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted and shall then be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration. |
By executing the Voting Agreement, the Securityholders have (i) agreed to vote all of the Covered Shares beneficially owned by them or acquired prior to the expiration of the Voting Agreement in favor of the Merger, adoption of the Merger Agreement and any other matter that would reasonably be expected to facilitate the Merger, and against any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or any Alternative Proposal (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) or any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (ii) granted irrevocable proxies to Parent granting Parent the right to vote the Covered Shares as specified in clause (i). The Voting Agreement terminates upon the earlier to occur of (i) termination of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the consummation of the Merger.
(c) Not applicable.
(d) It is anticipated that the directors and officers of Merger Sub, as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, shall become the directors and officers of the Company until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.
(e) Not applicable.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) It is anticipated that the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Company until thereafter amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable Law (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
(h)-(i) If the Merger is consummated as planned, the Company’s Common Stock will cease to be listed over-the-counter and will become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, as amended.
(j) Not applicable.
References to and descriptions of the Merger Agreement in this Item 4 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) As of the date hereof, none of the Covered Persons owns any shares of Common Stock of the Company. Parent may, however, be deemed to share with the Securityholders the power to vote in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement (as described in Item 4) and, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3, may be deemed to beneficially own 12,773,074 shares of Common Stock (solely with respect to those matters described in the Voting Agreement described above in Item 4), representing approximately 22.62% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. Parent disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares. Except as described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D and in the Voting Agreement, Parent is not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the Company. Beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock is being reported hereunder solely because each Covered Person may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of such Common Stock as a result of the relationships described under Item 2 and Item 3 and the matters described in Item 3, Item 4 and Item 5 of this Schedule 13D. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Covered Persons that it is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
(b) Parent may be deemed to have shared voting power of the 12,773,074 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by the Securityholders due to Parent’s rights under the Voting Agreement to direct the voting of such shares with respect to the matters specified in the Voting Agreement (and to vote such shares in accordance with the proxy). However Parent does not control the voting of such shares with respect to other matters and does not possess any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares. In addition, Reporting Persons, other than Parent, do not have any rights under the Voting Agreement.
(c) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D with reference to the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement, none of the Covered Persons have effected any transactions in the Company’s Common Stock, or any other class of security of the Company, during the past sixty days.
(d) As disclosed in this Schedule 13D, the Covered Shares are owned by the Securityholders. Parent’s interest in the Covered Shares is limited to the Voting Agreement, and Parent does not have a pecuniary interest in the Covered Shares. Parent does not have any knowledge whether any other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Covered Shares.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Other than as described in Items 2, 3, 4 and 5, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between any of the Reporting Persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, without limitation, the transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies or any pledge or contingency, the occurrence of which would give another person voting or investment power over the securities of the Company.
