| | |

As more fully described in response to Item 4, the shares of Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates have not been purchased by any of the Reporting Persons and, accordingly, no funds were used for such
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | CUSIP No. 463664-50-8 | 13D | Page | | 7 | | of | | 16 Pages |
purpose. Pursuant to the Stockholder Voting and Support Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2011 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), among each of Griffin Fund LP, Costa Brava Partnership III L.P., Stuart Family Trust, John Carson, John Stuart, Marc Dumont and Thomas Kelly (collectively, the “Supporting Stockholders”) and Vectronix, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 55,831,216 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Covered Shares”) held of record by the Supporting Stockholders as of the date hereof. The Covered Shares constitute approximately 49.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 113,705,932 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 3, 2011, as set forth in the Preliminary Notice of Special Meeting and Proxy Statement of the Company, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2011 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”).
Vectronix and the Supporting Stockholders entered into the Stockholders Agreement to induce Vectronix to enter into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2011 (the “Agreement”), between Vectronix and the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will sell to Vectronix substantially all of the assets used or held for use in connection with, necessary for or relating to the Company’s thermal imaging business, which consists of the Company’s business of researching, developing, designing, manufacturing, producing, marketing, selling and distributing thermal camera products, including clip-on thermal imagers, thermal handheld and mounted equipment devices, other infrared imaging devices and thermal cameras, and in all cases, related thermal imaging products, as such business was conducted anywhere in the world by the Company and its subsidiaries prior to October 17, 2011 (the “Business”). In exchange for substantially all of the assets of the Business, the Company will receive from Vectronix an upfront amount in cash, subject to adjustment, plus deferred payments on the sale by Vectronix of thermal imaging products (the “Purchase Price”), and Vectronix will assume certain liabilities of the Business and repay certain indebtedness of the Company, as more fully set forth in the Agreement.
The transactions contemplated by the Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”) are subject to certain conditions, and there is no certainty that the Transaction will be consummated. The descriptions of the Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement contained herein in response to this Item 3 are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 2 and 3 hereto, respectively, and incorporated by reference into this Item 3.
| | |
Item 4. | | Purpose of Transaction. |
The information set forth, or incorporated by reference, in Item 3 is incorporated by reference herein in response to this Item 4. The Stockholders Agreement was entered into as a condition to the willingness of Vectronix to enter into the Agreement and to increase the likelihood that the approval of the Company’s stockholders required in connection with the Transaction will be obtained. See the response to Item 3 for a more complete description of the Transaction.
(a) Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, any shares of Common Stock acquired by any of the Supporting Stockholders after the date of the Stockholders Agreement and during the term of the Stockholders Agreement (including through the exercise of any stock options, the conversion or exchange of securities or by means of any purchase, dividend, distribution or otherwise) will become subject to the Stockholders Agreement (the Covered Shares and any such shares acquired after the date of the Stockholders Agreement, the “Subject Shares”). Accordingly, any such acquisition of shares of Common Stock by any Supporting Stockholder may result in Vectronix being deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of additional securities of the Company.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) The purpose of the Transaction is to effect the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Business to Vectronix in exchange for the Purchase Price, as more fully described in Item 3. While the Transaction has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Transaction may be deemed to constitute the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, which would require the prior approval of the holders of a
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | CUSIP No. 463664-50-8 | 13D | Page | | 8 | | of | | 16 Pages |
majority of the issued and outstanding Common Stock under applicable law. Accordingly, the Transaction is conditioned, among other things, upon the receipt of such stockholder approval. The Stockholders Agreement requires the Supporting Stockholders, which in the aggregate own of record 55,831,216 shares of Common Stock or approximately 49.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof, based on 113,705,932 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 3, 2011, as set forth in the Preliminary Proxy Statement, to, among other things, vote all of their shares (or cause them to be voted) at any meeting of stockholders of the Company however called (or any action by written consent in lieu of meeting) or any adjournment thereof, in favor of the adoption of the Agreement and the approval of the Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Supporting Stockholders will not be required to vote in favor of the adoption of the Transaction if the Company and Vectronix amend the Agreement and such amendment is not approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.
(d) — (e) Not applicable.
(f) Not applicable, other than as a result of the Transaction, which is described in Item 3 and Item 4(c).
(g) — (i) Not applicable.
(j) Other than as described in Item 3 and this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons currently has a plan or proposal which relates to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a) — (i) of Schedule 13D (although the Reporting Persons reserve the right to develop such plans).
| | |
Item 5. | | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
(a) — (b) As of the date hereof, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any person named inAnnex A hereto, owns any Common Stock. However, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), as a result of Vectronix entering into the Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Subject Shares.
Except as described in Item 4 and this Item 5 and in the Stockholders Agreement, none of the Reporting Persons is entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Subject Shares. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that it is the beneficial owner of any of the Subject Shares referred to herein for purposes of the Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. As of the date hereof, the Subject Shares constitute 55,831,216 shares of Common Stock or approximately 49.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 113,705,932 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 3, 2011, as set forth in the Preliminary Proxy Statement.
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the Supporting Stockholders agreed to, among other things, vote the Subject Shares in favor of the adoption of the Agreement and the approval of the Transaction and against any alternative transaction, and pursuant thereto have granted an irrevocable proxy (while the Stockholders Agreement remains in effect) to Vectronix to vote the Subject Shares as such. The Supporting Stockholders have also agreed not to solicit alternative transactions and not to transfer the Subject Shares or enter into any other voting arrangement or understanding with respect thereto while the Stockholders Agreement remains in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Agreement is amended by the Company and Vectronix and such amendment is not approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Supporting Stockholders will not be required to vote in favor of the adoption of the Agreement or the approval of the Transaction.
The Stockholders Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Closing and (ii) the termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms.
