Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On May 16, 2013, Xhibit Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Xhibit” or the “Issuer”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), among Xhibit, Project SMI Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Xhibit (“Merger Sub”), SHC Parent Corp., a Delaware corporation (“SHC”), and TNC Group, Inc., an Arizona corporation as Stockholder Representative for the SHC stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on May 16, 2013, Merger Sub merged with and into SHC (the “Merger”), with SHC surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Xhibit. SHC is the parent corporation of SkyMall Interests, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Interests”), SkyMall, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SkyMall, LLC”), and SkyMall Ventures, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Ventures,” and, with Interests and SkyMall, LLC, the “SkyMall Companies”).
As a result of the Merger, all of the shares of common stock of SHC issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger were canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 44,440,000 shares of Xhibit common stock (the “Merger Shares”) at an exchange ratio of 444.4 shares of Xhibit common stock for every 1 share of SHC common stock. 41,773,600 of the Merger Shares were contributed by SHC stockholders to XSE on May 28, 2013, in exchange for membership interests in XSE.
The Merger Agreement also provided for the appointment of Kevin Weiss as a director and Chief Executive Officer of Xhibit; the right of the former SHC stockholders to appoint another director to the Board of Xhibit (the “Appointed Director”), which right has been transferred to XSE as part of the capital contribution of the Merger Shares; certain piggyback and demand registration rights, for the former stockholders of SHC pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement which was executed in connection with the Merger Agreement and transferred to XSE as part of the capital contribution of the Merger Shares; usual and customary indemnification covenants by the stockholders of SHC, through TNC, as Stockholder Representative, and Xhibit; and an escrow of five million Merger Shares to support the indemnification by TNC.
In connection with the Merger, Chris Richarde, President and Chairman of the Board of Xhibit, entered into a Voting Agreement, whereby Mr. Richarde agreed to vote all of his shares of stock in Xhibit Corp. in favor of the Appointed Director at each election of directors of Xhibit until such time as the former SHC stockholders, directly or indirectly, cease to own at least 10% of the outstanding stock of Xhibit.
This summary description of the material terms of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and incorporated herein by reference.
