Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

General

On December 10, 2009, Atlas Acquisition Holdings Corp. (“Atlas”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger providing for a business combination (the “Merger”) with Koosharem Corporation, doing business as Select Staffing (“Select Staffing”).

The Merger Agreement

The following is a summary of the material terms of the merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The parties to the merger agreement are Atlas, a Delaware corporation, Select Staffing, a California corporation, and New Koosharem Corporation (“NewCo”), a recently formed California corporation that, prior to the Merger, will become a holding company for Select Staffing.

Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Atlas will issue to Select Staffing’s shareholders an aggregate of 24,723,000 shares of Atlas’s common stock. Depending on the level of Select Staffing debt immediately prior to the Merger, Select Staffing’s current shareholders are expected to own between approximately 40% and 45% of Atlas’s outstanding stock immediately after the Merger. In addition, Select Staffing’s current executive officers will become Atlas’s executive officers. Select Staffing’s shareholders will also be entitled to receive up to 6.0 million additional shares of Atlas’s common stock based on the EBITDA of the combined company during the fiscal year ending December 26, 2010 (with 2.0 million of such shares being automatically issued if Atlas’s stock price exceeds $15.00 during the period specified in the Merger Agreement).
