As of the date hereof, the Company has issued and outstanding 5,750,000 shares of Common Stock (of which up to 750,000 shares are subject to forfeiture as described in the Registration Statement) and no shares of Preferred Stock. All of the issued shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized, validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable.
Description of Capital Stock The authorized capital stock of the Company conforms as to legal matters to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus.
Conversion of Company Capital Stock At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder of any of the shares of Company Common Stock, Parent Stock or any capital stock of Merger Sub:
(a) All shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) held in treasury or owned directly by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, Merger Sub or Parent (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like or shares held in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted) shall be cancelled and retired and shall not represent capital stock of the Surviving Company and shall not be exchanged for the Merger Consideration. Shares of Company Common Stock that are canceled and retired pursuant to this Section 2.1 are hereinafter referred to as the “Excluded Shares”; and
(b) Each share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become the right to receive 0.7300 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Stock”), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.1(d) (such per share amount, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(c), is hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Consideration”). Effective as of the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.2.
Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
Restriction on Sale of Capital Stock During the Commitment Period, the Company shall not issue or sell (i) any Common Stock or Preferred Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the bid price of the Common Stock determined immediately prior to its issuance, (ii) issue or sell any Preferred Stock warrant, option, right, contract, call, or other security or instrument granting the holder thereof the right to acquire Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than such Common Stock's Bid Price determined immediately prior to its issuance, or (iii) file any registration statement on Form S-8.
Conversion of Shares (a) At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock (individually a “Share” and collectively the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares held in the Company’s treasury or by any of the Company’s subsidiaries) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of AREP Oil & Gas, IPO Co., the Company or the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive that fraction of a fully-paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of IPO Co. (“IPO Co. Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) (the “Merger Consideration”).
(b) The “Exchange Ratio” shall be determined by multiplying 0.00000008936 [i.e., 1 / 11,190,650 (the number of outstanding Shares)] by the Share Amount (as hereafter defined). The “Share Amount” shall mean that number of shares of IPO Co. Common Stock which results in the holders of the Shares receiving, in the aggregate, a 7.990% (the “Percentage”) economic interest in the entire equity of the Enterprise (as hereafter defined) immediately prior to consummation of the IPO Transaction; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Percentage is based upon the assumption that the Enterprise will be subject to $500 million of net indebtedness (i.e., total indebtedness minus cash) immediately prior to or simultaneously with consummation of the IPO Transaction (after all incurrences and repayments of debt contemplated in Exhibit B hereto and excluding intercompany notes of the members of the Enterprise and their subsidiaries); (ii) to the extent that the Enterprise is subject to less than $500 million of net indebtedness at such time (after all incurrences and repayments of debt contemplated in Exhibit B hereto and excluding intercompany notes of the members of the Enterprise and their subsidiaries), the Percentage will be reduced by subtracting the Adjustment Amount (as hereafter defined) from the Percentage; and (iii) to the extent that the Enterprise is subject to in excess of $500 million of net indebtedness at such time (after all incurrences and repayments of debt contemplated in Exhibit B hereto and excluding intercompany notes of the members of the Enterprise and their subsidiaries), the Percentage will be increased by adding the Adjustment Amount to the Percentage. The “Adjustment Amount” shall mean the product of (x) 0.6322% and (y) that fraction obtained by dividing the positive difference between $500 million and the actual net indebtedness of the Enterprise immediately prior to or simultaneously with consummation of the IPO Transaction (after all incurrences and repayments of debt contemplated in Exhibit B hereto and excluding intercompany notes of the members of the Enterprise and their subsidiaries) by $100 million. Set forth on Schedule 1.7 hereto is an example of how the Percentage shall be calculated. At Closing, the remaining economic interest in the Enterprise will be held, directly or indirectly, by AREH. The term “Enterprise” shall mean a combination or consolidation of entities which includes 100% of the equity interests in each of AREP Oil & Gas, National Onshore, National Offshore and the Company.
Reservation and Availability of Capital Stock (a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock (and, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock and/or other securities), the number of shares of Preferred Stock (and, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, Common Stock and/or other securities) that, as provided in this Agreement, including Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights.
(b) So long as the shares of Preferred Stock (and, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, Common Stock and/or other securities) issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of the Rights may be listed on any national securities exchange, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause, from and after such time as the Rights become exercisable (but only to the extent that it is reasonably likely that the Rights will be exercised), all shares reserved for such issuance to be listed on such exchange upon official notice of issuance upon such exercise.
(c) The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) file, as soon as practicable following the earliest date after the first occurrence of a Section 11(a)(ii) Event on which the consideration to be delivered by the Company upon exercise of the Rights has been determined in accordance with Section 11(a)(iii) hereof, a registration statement under the Securities Act, with respect to the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate form, (ii) cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing, and (iii) cause such registration statement to remain effective (with a prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Securities Act) until the earlier of (A) the date as of which the Rights are no longer exercisable for such securities and (B) the Expiration Date. The Company will also take such action as may be appropriate under, or to ensure compliance with, the securities or “blue sky” laws of the various states in connection with the exercisability of the Rights. The Company may temporarily suspend, for a period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days after the date referenced in clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 9(c), the exercisability of the Rights in order to prepare and file such registration statement and permit it to become effective. Upon any such suspension, the Company shall issue a public announcement stating that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended, and the Company shall issue a public announcement at such time as the suspension has been rescinded. In addition, if the Company shall determine that a registration statement is required following the Distribution Date, the Company may temporarily suspend the exercisability of the Rights until such time as a registration statement has been declared effective. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable in any jurisdiction if the requisite qualification in such jurisdiction shall not have been obtained, the exercise thereof shall not be permitted under applicable law, or a registration statement shall not have been declared effective.
(d) The Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all one one-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock (and, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, Common Stock and/or other securities) delivered upon exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of such shares (subject to payment of the Purchase Price), be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
(e) The Company covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Rights Certificates and of any certificates for a number of one one-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock (or Common Stock and/or other securities, as the case may be) upon the exercise of Rights. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any transfer tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer or delivery of Rights Certificates to a Person other than, or the issuance or delivery of a number of one one-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock (or Common Stock and/or other securities, as the case may be) in respect of a name other than, that of the registered holder of the Rights Certificates evidencing Rights surrendered for exercise or to issue or deliver any certificates for a number of one one-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock (or Common Stock and/or other securities, as the case may be) in a name other than that of the registered holder upon the exercise of any Rights until such tax shall have been paid (any such tax being payable by the holder of such Rights Certificates at the time of surrender) or until it has been established to the Company’s and the Rights Agent’s satisfaction that no such tax is due.
Limitation on Issuance of Capital Stock (a) With respect to Holdings, issue any Equity Interest that is not Qualified Capital Stock.
(b) Borrowers will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary, to issue any Equity Interest of any Subsidiary (including by way of sales of treasury stock) or any options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, Equity Interest of any Subsidiary, except (i) for stock splits, stock dividends and additional Equity Interests issuances which do not decrease the percentage ownership of a Borrower or any Subsidiaries in any class of the Equity Interest of such Subsidiary; (ii) Subsidiaries of a Borrower formed after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.12 may issue Equity Interests to a Borrower or the Subsidiary of a Borrower which is to own such stock; and (iii) a Borrower may issue common stock that is Qualified Capital Stock to Holdings. All Equity Interests issued in accordance with this Section 6.11(b) shall, to the extent required by this Agreement or the Security Agreement, be delivered to the Administrative Agent for pledge pursuant to the Security Agreement.
