Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On March 30, 2007, the Company announced that its shareholders had voted to approve the sale of the Assets to Sellers. The shareholders also voted to approve and adopt a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company and the transactions contemplated thereby pursuant to which the Company will be dissolved and liquidated.
As previously disclosed, the sale to the Buyers will be completed on a staggered basis. On April 4, 2007, the Company received a portion of the purchase price and began the process of selling its pharmacy assets to Buyers pursuant to the Agreement. The closing of the sale of all of the assets to Buyers is expected to be completed by the end the second quarter of 2007.
Other than the Agreement, there is no material relationship between the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyers, on the other hand.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
On April 2, 2007, Rakesh K. Sharma resigned as a director to the company. Dr. Sharma had served as a director and a member of the compensation committee of the board of directors since November 12, 2004. On March 21, 2007, the Compensation Committee met to consider the Company’s severance obligations to certain of its Directors and Officers and determined that it was necessary and appropriate to amend or modify each of those obligations in order to retain critical persons and assure that the sale to the Buyers and the plan of complete liquidation and dissolution are executed in a fashion calculated to maximize return to the Company’s shareholders. The Compensation Committee unanimously recommended to the board of directors a resolution adopting its recommendations and resolving that the obligations of the Company and (as applicable) its subsidiary Familymeds, Inc. as to each of Jugal K. Taneja, Edgardo A. Mercadante, James E. Searson, James A. Bologa, Allison D. Kiene, and James S. Beaumariage, shall be accelerated and payable as of the Walgreen closing date or such other date as agreed by and between the Company and the affected individual on such terms as the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairman of the Compensation Committee deems appropriate. Following his execution of these resolutions on April 2, 2007, Dr. Sharma resigned from the board of directors claiming that his resignation stemmed from his difference of opinion on the compensation matters to maximize shareholder value. A copy of Dr. Sharma’s letter pursuant to which he resigned is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
