Items 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On September 29, 2000, STC Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("STC"), and Epitope, Inc., an Oregon Corporation ("Epitope"), were merged (the
"Mergers") into OraSure Technologies Inc. ("Registrant"), a new corporation that
was formed under Delaware law solely for the purposes of combining the two
companies and changing the state of incorporation of Epitope from Oregon to
Delaware. The companies were merged pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated May 6, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Epitope, the
Registrant and STC. The shareholders of STC and Epitope approved the Merger
Agreement on September 29, 2000.
The Mergers are being accounted for as a "pooling of interests."
The agreement is a $260 million all stock deal. As a result of the Mergers
(i) each share of STC common stock was converted into the right to receive five
and two hundred ninety-six one thousandths (5.296) shares of Registrant's common
stock and (ii) each share of Epitope common stock was converted into the right
to receive one share of Registrant's common stock.
Epitope and STC mailed a definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus (the
"Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus") to their respective stockholders on August
31, 2000, which sets forth certain information regarding the Mergers, the
Registrant, Epitope and STC, including, but not limited to, the manner of the
Mergers, the nature of any material relationships between Registrant, Epitope
and STC or any officer or director of such parties and the nature of Epitope's
and STC' business. The Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is incorporated herein
as Exhibit 20.1. In addition, the foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein as Exhibit
2.1.
OraSure's common stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). OraSure is deemed to be
the successor to Epitope's prior Exchange Act registration, under Rule 12g-3(a)
promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Other Events
In connection with the Mergers, the Registrant's board of directors was
reduced from nine to seven members. In addition, six members of the board -- W.
Charles Armstrong, Andrew S. Goldstein, G. Patrick Sheaffer, Robert J. Zollars,
Margaret H. Jordan and Michael J. Paxton -- resigned as directors of the
Registrant.
The Registrant's articles of incorporation divides the board of directors
into three classes of directors, with the directors serving staggered terms of
three years and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified
or until their respective earlier resignation or removal. The board of directors
presently is composed of six persons, three of whom were designated by Epitope
at the time of the Mergers and three of whom were designated by STC at the time
of the Mergers. There remains one vacancy on the board.
The six persons presently serving on the board of directors are Frank G.
Hausmann, Roger L. Pringle, Robert D. Thompson, Michael G. Bolton, William W.
Crouse, and Michael J. Gausling. Messrs. Hausmann and Bolton are designated as
Class I directors and have been
