ITEM 1. CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.
On August 20, 1996, the shareholders of Patlex Corporation, a
Pennsylvania corporation ("Patlex") and the former parent of the Registrant
voted to approve, (i) the Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Plan of
Reorganization") pursuant to which Patlex was reorganized into a holding
company structure (the "Reorganization"), whereby the holders of shares of
Patlex Common Stock became holders of shares of the Registrant's common stock,
(ii) the Agreement of Merger, dated February 7, 1996, as amended and restated
as of June 28, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement"), among the Registrant, Patlex, DBT
Acquisition Corp., a Florida corporation ("DBT Acquisition") and Database
Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation ("DBT"), pursuant to which,
immediately after the Reorganization, DBT Acquisition, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Registrant merged with and into DBT, and DBT became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant and (iii) the amended and restated
Stock Option Plan that, in connection with the Reorganization, the Registrant
assumed.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of DBT
common stock outstanding prior to the Merger was converted into the right to
receive the number of shares of common stock of the Registrant, par value $.10
per share ("DBT Online Common Stock") equal to (x) the product of 1.86
multiplied by the sum of the total number of shares of DBT Online Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, plus
one-half the number of shares of DBT Online Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of options outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, divided by (y)
the number of shares of DBT common stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Merger.
As a result of the transactions described in the preceding paragraphs,
Patlex and DBT are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Registrant and the former
shareholders of Patlex and DBT are the shareholders of the Registrant.
Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, each share of
Patlex common stock outstanding as of the date of Reorganization, was converted
into the right to receive one share of DBT Online Common Stock. The exchange
ratio resulted in the former shareholders of DBT receiving 5,127,613 shares of
DBT Online Common Stock after the Merger, or approximately 66.65%, and the
former shareholders of Patlex receiving 2,565,861 shares of DBT Online Common
Stock, or approximately 33.35%.
