Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 20, 2005, Infodata Systems Inc. (the “Registrant”) entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger with McDonald Bradley Inc., a privately held information technology solutions provider to the government marketplace with headquarters in Herndon, Virginia (“MBI”), and Infodata Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MBI. The merger will be a cash transaction for 100% of the outstanding shares of the Registrant’s common stock.
If the merger agreement is approved by the Registrant’s shareholders and the other conditions in the merger agreement are met, MBI’s wholly-owned subsidiary will merge into the Registrant, with the Registrant surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of MBI, and each share of the Registrant’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive $1.15 in cash, without interest, subject to adjustment up to a maximum of $1.19 per share and down to a minimum of $1.09 per share. If the merger is consummated, the Registrant will no longer be a public company. Capitalink, L.C., the Registrant’s financial advisor, advised the Registrant’s board of directors that the merger consideration is fair to Infodata shareholders from a financial point of view.
Consummation of the merger is subject to customary conditions, including the adoption of the merger agreement by the holders of more than 66-2/3% of the Registrant’s outstanding common stock. The merger agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Registrant, including covenants (i) to cause a shareholders’ meeting to be called and held as promptly as practicable to vote on the adoption of the merger agreement, (ii) to cease any discussions and negotiations with respect to an alternate acquisition proposal, (iii) not to solicit any alternate acquisition proposal and, with certain exceptions, not to enter into discussions concerning or furnish information in connection with any alternate acquisition proposal, and (iv) subject to certain exceptions, for the Registrant’s board of directors not to withdraw or modify its recommendation that its shareholders vote to adopt the merger agreement. The merger agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Registrant and MBI and further provides that, upon termination of the merger agreement under specified circumstances, the Registrant may be required to pay MBI termination fees and expenses up to $750,000.
The foregoing description of the merger agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1.
Item 8.01 Other Events
