NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
THE MERGER; CONVERSION OF SHARES
The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof), Merger Subsidiary will be merged with and into Company in accordance with the provisions of the Minnesota Act, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Subsidiary will cease, and Company will
1
continue as the surviving corporation (the ”Surviving Corporation”). From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will possess all the rights, privileges, powers, and franchises and be subject to all the restrictions, disabilities and duties of Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as more fully described in the Minnesota Act.
Effective Time. As soon as practicable after each of the conditions set forth in Article 4 and Article 5 have been satisfied or waived, Company and Merger Subsidiary will file, or cause to be filed, with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota, Articles of Merger for the Merger, which Articles will be in the form required by and executed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Minnesota Act. The Merger will become effective at the time such filing is made or, if agreed to by Parent and Company, such later time or date set forth in the Articles of Merger (the “Effective Time”).
Closing.
Unless this Agreement has been terminated and the transactions contemplated herein have been abandoned pursuant to Article 6 hereof (the ”Termination Date”), the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at a time and on a date (the “Closing Date”) to be specified by the Parties; provided, however, that all of the conditions provided for in Articles 4 and 5 hereof shall have been satisfied or waived by such date. The Closing will be held at the offices of Leonard W. Burningham, Esq., 455 East 500 South, Suite 205, Salt Lake City, Utah, or such other place as the Parties may agree, at which time and place the Transaction Documents necessary or appropriate to effect the transactions contemplated herein will be exchanged by the Parties. Except as otherwise provided herein, all actions taken at the Closing will be deemed to be taken simultaneously.
(b)
As a condition to the Closing, Parent will have completed a name change to “Digitiliti, Inc.” and the Recapitalization.
(c)
As a further condition precedent to the Closing of the Merger, among other such conditions that are set forth in Sections 5 and 6 hereof, Company shall deliver for cancellation all shares of Parent Common Stock not used for rounding of shares of Parent Common Stock under the Recapitalization.
Conversion of Interests. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Company and/or Merger Subsidiary:
(a)
Each of the shares of common stock of Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive one (1) share of common stock or an aggregate of 21,281,978 shares of common stock of Parent, par value $0.001 per share, more or less, depending upon the number of dissenting Company Shareholders who properly perfect such rights and Company Shareholders afforded preemptive rights as agreed upon by the Parties (“Parent Common Stock”). The amount of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Company Common Stock is converted, on a one to one basis, is referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration.”
(b)
All stock options, warrants, convertible debt, other convertible securities or other rights to acquire shares of the Company that are outlined in Schedule 1.4(b) (collectively “Company’s Convertible Securities”) outstanding at the Effective Time, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time but shall be assumed by Parent. Company’s Convertible Securities so assumed by Parent shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as set forth in the underlying Convertible Securities documents but will be convertible into shares of Parent Common Stock as described in Schedule 1.4(b).
(c)
Except as expressly set forth herein, each share of any other equity interest of the Company (other than Company Common Stock) will be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor and without any conversion thereof.
(d)
Each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary, par value $1.00 per share (“Merger
2
Subsidiary Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted automatically into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, par value $0.0001 per share.
Exchange of Company Common Stock and Company Convertible Securities.
Excluding only Company Shareholders who perfect Dissenters’ Rights under the Minnesota Act, at the Closing, Company will cause the delivery of all Company Shareholders Company Common Stock of which are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to Parent (“Company Certificates”), together with appropriate assignments signed by such holders, in exchange for the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which such interests have been converted as provided in Section 1.4(a), and Company Certificates so surrendered will be canceled.
All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof will be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock.
As of the Effective Time, the holders of Company Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock will cease to have any rights as Company Shareholders, except such rights, if any, as they may have pursuant to the Minnesota Act. Except as provided above, until such Company Certificates are surrendered for exchange, each such Company Certificate will, after the Effective Time, respectively represent for all purposes only the right to receive certificates representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which Company Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to the Merger as provided in Section 1.4(a).
(d)
No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company Certificates; no dividend or other distribution of Parent will relate to any fractional share; and such fractional share will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of Parent. All fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which a holder of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time would otherwise be entitled, at the Effective Time, will be aggregated if and to the extent multiple Company Certificates of such holder are submitted together to Parent. If a fractional share results from such aggregation, then such fractional share will be rounded up to the nearest whole share and each holder of shares of Company Common Stock interests who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share of Parent Common Stock will receive one whole share in lieu of su ch fractional share, as applicable.
Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and Name Change. The Articles of Incorporation of Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, but the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to “Digitiliti, Inc.”.
Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. The Bylaws of Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law.
Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation and Parent.
(a)
Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The directors and officers of Company, as of the Effective Time, shall continue as the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation.
(b)
Directors of the Parent. The sole director of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall appoint Jonathan S. Miner, Pamela J. Miner, Brad D. Wenzel and Laura Wenzel to Parent’s board of directors, and the officers of Parent shall be appointed by the new directors, who shall be Mark Savage, President; Brad D. Wenzel, CEO; and Laura Wenzel, Vice President, CFO, Treasurer and Secretary.
Dissenting Interests. Company Shareholders who have properly demanded and perfected such holder’s rights to dissent from the Merger and to be paid the fair value of such holder’s shares in accordance with Section
3
302A.471 of the Minnesota Act and who have not waived or otherwise consented to the Merger, shall be accorded all such Dissenters’ Rights as a condition to the Closing of the Merger.
