Effective January 14, 2003 (the “Effective Time”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 10, 2002, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), among Eos International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Eos Acquisition Corp., a New Jersey corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company created solely for the purpose of effecting the merger described herein (“EAC”), and I.F.S. of New Jersey, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“IFS”), EAC merged with and into IFS, with IFS surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, 15,988,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) and 1,000 shares of Series E Junior Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) were issued in exchange for IFS capital stock, with calculations of the number of shares received by an IFS shareholder resulting in a fractional share equal to 0.5 or more of a share of Company Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share of Company Common Stock and such calculations which result in a fractional share less than 0.5 of a share of Company Common Stock rounded down to the nearest whole share of Company Common Stock. The Series E Preferred Stock has the rights and privileges set forth in the Certificate of Designations of the Series E Preferred Stock, which was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 20, 2002. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $0.01, is entitled to no dividend preference, votes together with the Company Common Stock as a single class on all matters except where otherwise required by law, is entitled to 11,000 votes, and is automatically convertible into 11,000 shares of Company Common Stock upon the Company having a sufficient number of issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock to convert all shares of Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Company Common Stock, subject to adjustment for changes in the capitalization of the Company. The Series E Preferred Stock is subordinate to the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock. For purposes of determining the exchange ratio, the per share value of the Company Common Stock (including the Company Common Stock into which the Series E Preferred Stock is convertible) to be issued in the Merger was negotiated to be $0.50, which was the purchase price of the Company Common Stock in connection with the Company’s $7.5 million private equity offering that closed simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger. The aggregate value of IFS was negotiated to be $15.2 million, less estimated outstanding long-term debt at December 31, 2002 ($1,706,000). The Merger was approved by an independent committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. James M. Cascino, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Director of the Company, has served and continues to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of IFS. Jack B. Hood, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company, has served and continues to serve as Chief Financial Officer of IFS. Each of Anthony R. Calandra, Julius Koppelman, and William S. Walsh has served and continues to serve, on the board of directors of both the Company and IFS. Messrs. Cascino, Hood, and Walsh, together with members of McGuggan, L.L.C., a New Jersey limited liability company, (i) collectively beneficially owned approximately 35% of the voting stock of the Company prior to the Merger, (ii) beneficially own approximately 45% of the post-Merger Company Common Stock, assuming conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Company Common Stock, and (iii) beneficially owned approximately 87% of the voting stock of IFS immediately prior to the Merger. Messrs. Calandra, Liati and Adubato, each of whom is a director of IFS, are principals and/or officers of McGuggan, L.L.C. and beneficially own an aggregate of 75% of McGuggan, L.L.C. Prior to the Effective Time, IFS Management LLC was the owner of record of 75% of the issued and outstanding common stock of IFS. IFS Management LLC is 86% beneficially owned by the following directors of IFS: Messrs. Koppelman, Walsh, Calandra, Liati and Adubato. Jack B. Hood and James M. Cascino, directors and members of management of IFS, owned an additional approximately 12% of IFS prior to the Merger.
