ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE
CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
2.1 EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK. At the Effective Date, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of Intelect (Delaware), the
Constituent Corporations or their respective shareholders,
(a) CAPITAL STOCK OF MERGER CO. Each issued and outstanding share of
the capital stock of Merger Co. shall be converted into and become one
fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share, par value $0.01 per share, of
the Surviving Corporation.
(b) EXCHANGE RATIO FOR COMPANY COMMON SHARES. Each share of Company
Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Date (other than Dissenting Shares (as hereinafter defined)) shall be
converted into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share,
of Intelect (Delaware) ("Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares"). All such
shares of Company Common Shares, when so converted, shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall
cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such
shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the
right to receive the shares of Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares.
(c) EXCHANGE RATIO FOR COMPANY PREFERRED SHARES. Each share of
Company 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A, $.01 par
value (the "Company Preferred Shares") issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Date (other than Dissenting Shares (as hereinafter
defined)) shall be converted into one (1) share of 10% Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $0.01 per share, of
Intelect (Delaware) ("Intelect (Delaware) Preferred Shares"). All such
shares of Company Preferred Shares, when so converted, shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall
cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such
shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the
right to receive the shares of Intelect (Delaware) Preferred Shares.
(d) INTELECT (DELAWARE) COMMON SHARES OUTSTANDING PRIOR TO THE
EFFECTIVE DATE. Each share of Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall remain
outstanding, but no payment or distribution shall be made with respect
thereto.
(e) ASSUMPTION OF STOCK OPTIONS. Each outstanding Company Stock
Option (as defined in Section 5.10) whether vested or unvested shall be
assumed by Intelect (Delaware) as provided in Section 3.5.
(f) NO FURTHER OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN COMPANY COMMON SHARES. All
Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares issued upon the surrender for exchange
of Company Common Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, and all
Intelect (Delaware) Preferred Shares issued upon the surrender for
exchange of Company Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof,
shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such Company Common Shares and Company Preferred Shares,
2
respectively, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation's obligation
to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date
prior to the Effective Date that may have been declared or made by the
Company on such shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or
prior to the date hereof and which remain unpaid at the Effective Date,
and after the Effective Date there shall be no further registration of
transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the
Company Common Shares or the Company Preferred Shares that were
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date. From and after the
Effective Date, the stock transfer books of the Company (but not of the
Surviving Corporation) shall be closed and no transfer of Company Common
Shares shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Date,
Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason,
they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.
(g) NO LIABILITY. Neither Intelect (Delaware) nor the Company shall
be liable to any holder of Company Common Shares, Company Preferred
Shares, Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares, or Intelect (Delaware)
Preferred Shares, as the case may be, for such shares (or dividends or
distributions with respect thereto) or cash in lieu of fractional Intelect
(Delaware) Common Shares or Intelect (Delaware) Preferred Shares delivered
to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property,
escheat or similar law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any
such shares on the day immediately preceding the day on which such amounts
would otherwise escheat to or become property of any governmental entity
shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of
Intelect (Delaware) free and clear of any claims or interest of any such
holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives
previously entitled thereto.
2.2 DISSENTING SHARES. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, Company Common Shares or Company Preferred Shares that are issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date and which are held by
shareholders who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto
under the Bermuda Act (the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into or
represent the right to receive Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares or Intelect
(Delaware) Preferred Shares, respectively, as provided in Section 2.1, but the
holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive such payment of the
appraised value of such shares held by them from the Surviving Corporation as
shall be determined pursuant to the Bermuda Act; provided, however, that if any
such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall withdraw or lose the right to
appraisal and payment under the Bermuda Act, each such holder's shares shall
thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Date into the
right to receive Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares or Intelect (Delaware)
Preferred Shares, respectively, without any interest thereon, as provided in
Section 2.1, and such shares shall no longer be Dissenting Shares. Any payments
relating to Dissenting Shares shall be made solely by the Surviving Corporation
and no funds or other property have been or will be provided by Intelect
(Delaware) or any of its other direct or indirect subsidiaries for such payment.
2.3 EXCHANGE OF COMPANY SHARES FOR INTELECT (DELAWARE) SHARES. On the
Effective Date: (i) certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Date
represented Company Common Shares will for all purposes be deemed to represent
the same number of Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares; and (ii) certificates
which immediately prior to the Effective Date represented Company Preferred
Shares will for all purposes be deemed to represent the same number of Intelect
(Delaware) Preferred Shares. The Nasdaq National Market will consider the
delivery of existing stock certificates representing Common Shares of the
Company as constituting "good delivery" of Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares in
transactions subsequent to the Merger. It will not be necessary for holders of
Company Common Shares to exchange their existing stock certificates for stock
certificates of Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares.
ARTICLE III
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
3.1 PREPARATION OF S-4 AND THE PROXY STATEMENT. Intelect (Delaware) has
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") the Proxy
Statement and the S-4, in which the Proxy Statement will be included
3
as a prospectus. Intelect (Delaware) shall use its reasonable best efforts to
have the S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), as promptly as practicable after such filing. Intelect
(Delaware) shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to
be mailed to shareholders of the Company at the earliest practicable date.
Intelect (Delaware) shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all
necessary state securities laws or "blue sky" permits, approvals, and
registrations in connection with the issuance of Intelect (Delaware) Common
Shares in the Merger and upon the exercise of the Company Stock Options (as
defined herein) and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the
Company and the holders of the Company Common Shares, including financial
statements required by Form S-4 and the proxy rules under the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as may be reasonably requested in connection with obtaining
such permits, approvals and registrations.
3.2 SHAREHOLDERS MEETINGS. The Company shall call a meeting of its
shareholders (respectively, the "Company Shareholder Meeting") to be held as
promptly as practicable after the date hereof for the purpose of voting upon
this Agreement and the Merger.
3.3 LISTING. Intelect (Delaware) shall use its reasonable best efforts to
cause the Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares to be issued in the Merger, the
Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants (as
described in Section 3.6) and the Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Company Stock Options and issuable under the Company Stock
Option Plan to be approved for trading on the Nasdaq National Market, subject to
official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date.
3.4 BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS AT THE EFFECTIVE DATE. Intelect
(Delaware) shall take all necessary action so that as of the Effective Date the
directors of Intelect (Delaware) shall only be those individuals identified as
directors on Exhibit A hereto and the officers of Intelect (Delaware) shall only
be those individuals identified as officers on Exhibit A hereto, except to the
extent any such individual is unwilling or unable to serve in such capacity.
3.5 STOCK OPTIONS; RESERVATION AND REGISTRATION OF SHARES.
(a) At the Effective Date, each outstanding option to purchase the
Company Common Shares and any stock appreciation rights related thereto
that have been granted pursuant to the Company's Stock Incentive Plan (a
"Company Stock Option"), whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by
Intelect (Delaware). Each such option shall be deemed to constitute an
option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable
under such Company Stock Option, a number of Intelect (Delaware) Common
Shares equal to the number of Company Common Shares purchasable pursuant
to such Company Stock Option at a price per share equal to the per-share
exercise price for the Company Common Shares purchasable pursuant to such
Company Stock Option; provided, however, that in the case of any option to
which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under
any of Sections 422-424 of the Code, the option price, the number of
shares purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of
exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with
Section 424(a) of the Code; and provided further, that the number of
Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of
such Company Stock Option shall not include any fractional share and, upon
exercise of such Company Stock Option, a cash payment shall be made for
any fractional share based upon the closing price of Intelect (Delaware)
Common Shares on the Nasdaq National Market or, if then traded on an
exchange, such exchange, on the last trading day of the calendar month
immediately preceding the date of exercise.
(b) Intelect (Delaware) shall take all corporate action necessary to
reserve for issuance a sufficient number of Intelect (Delaware) Common
Shares for delivery upon exercise of the Company Stock Options. As soon as
practicable after the Effective Date, Intelect (Delaware) shall file with
the SEC a post-effective amendment to the existing Forms S-8 and S-3s
pursuant to Rule 414 of the Securities Act, or a registration statement on
Form S-8 (or any successor form) or another appropriate form with respect
to the
4
Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares subject to the Company Stock Options and
shall use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such
registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the
current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so
long as the Company Stock Options remain outstanding.
3.6 TREATMENT OF WARRANTS. All warrants for Company Common Shares validly
existing and outstanding on the Effective Date will become obligations of
Intelect (Delaware). Each warrant assumed by Intelect (Delaware) will continue
to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in such
warrant in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date. Each such warrant
will be exercisable for that number of Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares which
the holder of such warrant would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the
Merger had such holder exercised such warrant in full immediately prior to the
Effective Date and elected to receive Intelect (Delaware) Common Shares in
exchange for Company Common Shares in the Merger. Intelect (Delaware) will
assume any registration obligation covering such warrants and underlying common
shares until such warrants are exercised or expire.
3.7 TREATMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. All contractual agreements of the
Company outstanding on the Effective Date to register Company Common Shares will
become obligations of Intelect (Delaware) to register Intelect (Delaware) Common
Shares issuable pursuant to the Reorganization. The registration rights
agreements assumed by Intelect (Delaware) will continue to have, and be subject
to the same terms and conditions as are currently set forth in such agreements.
3.8 OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. At the Effective Date, Intelect
(Delaware) will assume all employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company (and
all obligations of the Company thereunder) in effect as of the Effective Date or
with respect to which employee rights or accrued benefits are outstanding as of
the Effective Date.
3.9 OTHER ACTIONS. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, neither
Intelect (Delaware) nor the Company shall, and shall not permit any of its
Subsidiaries to, take or agree or commit to take any action that is reasonably
likely to result in any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article IV
not being satisfied. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable best
efforts to take or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be
done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things
necessary, proper or advisable, to consummate and make effective, in the most
expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
3.10 REORGANIZATION. It is the intention of Intelect (Delaware) and the
Company that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization described in Section
368(a) of the Code (and any comparable provisions of applicable state or local
law). Neither Intelect (Delaware) nor the Company (nor any of their respective
Subsidiaries) will take or omit to take any action (whether before, on or after
the Closing Date) that would cause the Merger not to be so treated. The parties
will characterize the Merger as such a reorganization for purposes of all
returns and other filings.
