AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 22, 2020, by and among PROTEOSTASIS THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“PTI”), PANGOLIN MERGER SUB, INC., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of PTI (“Merger Sub”), YUMANITY THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and YUMANITY HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.
RECITALS
A. PTI and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and the DGCL. Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PTI.
B. The parties intend that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. By executing this Agreement, the parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3, and intend to file the statement required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a).
C. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, Holdings will merge with and into the Company (the “Company Reorganization”), following which the Company’s equity capitalization will consist entirely of common stock (and options and warrants exercisable for common stock), and such Company Reorganization has been approved by the Holdings board of directors.
D. The PTI Board of Directors (i) has determined that the Contemplated Transactions, including the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of PTI and its stockholders, (ii) has approved this Agreement, the Merger, the issuance of shares of PTI Common Stock to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the change of control of PTI, and the other actions contemplated by this Agreement and has deemed this Agreement advisable, (iii) has approved the Reverse Split, and (iv) has determined to recommend that the stockholders of PTI vote to approve the issuance of shares of PTI Common Stock to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the change of control of PTI, the Reverse Split, the approval of compensation that will or may become payable by PTI to its named executive officers in connection with the Merger and such other actions as contemplated by this Agreement.
E. The Board of Directors of Merger Sub (i) has determined that the Contemplated Transactions, including the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of Merger Sub and its sole stockholder; (ii) has approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has deemed this Agreement advisable; and (iii) has determined to recommend that the sole stockholder of Merger Sub vote to adopt this Agreement and thereby approve the Merger and such other actions as contemplated by this Agreement.
F. The Company Board of Directors (i) has determined that the Contemplated Transactions, including the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its sole stockholder, (ii) has approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has deemed this Agreement advisable; and (iii) has determined to recommend that the stockholder of the Company vote to adopt this Agreement and thereby approve the Merger and such other actions as contemplated by this Agreement.
G. In order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Merger to be consummated, the officers and directors of PTI listed on Schedule A hereto (solely in their capacities as stockholders) are executing support agreements in favor of the Company concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in the form substantially attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “PTI Stockholder Support Agreements”).
H. In order to induce PTI to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Merger to be consummated, the officers, directors and those entities that will (together with their Affiliates) be 5% or greater stockholders of the Company following the Company Reorganization and that are listed on Schedule B hereto (solely in their capacities as stockholders) are executing (i) support agreements in favor of PTI concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in the form substantially attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Company Stockholder Support Agreements”) and (ii) lock-up agreements in favor of PTI concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in the form substantially attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 (the “Company Lock-up Agreements”).
I. It is expected that within ten (10) Business Days after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock sufficient to adopt and approve this Agreement and the Merger as required under the DGCL and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation will execute and deliver an action by written consent in a form reasonably acceptable to PTI adopting and approving this Agreement and the Merger.
J. In order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Merger to be consummated, the officers and directors of PTI listed on Schedule C are executing lock-up agreements in favor of the Company concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in the form substantially attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 (the “PTI Lock-up Agreements”).
The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION
1.1 Structure of the Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease. The Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).
2.
1.2 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.
1.3 Closing; Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Articles 6, 7 and 8, the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx LLP (“Cooley”), as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the second Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Articles 6, 7 and 8, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of such conditions), or at such other time, date and place as PTI and the Company may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” At the Closing, the Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by executing and filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Merger with respect to the Merger, satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL and in a form reasonably acceptable to PTI and the Company (the “Certificate of Merger”). The Merger shall become effective at the time of the filing of such Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be specified in such Certificate of Merger with the consent of PTI and the Company (the time as of which the Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Effective Time”).
1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time:
(a) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation;
(b) the Certificate of Incorporation of PTI shall be identical to the Certificate of Incorporation of PTI as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, PTI shall file one or more amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation to (i) effect the Reverse Split and (ii) make such other changes as are mutually agreeable to PTI and the Company, and, if required, have been approved by the requisite holders of PTI Common Stock.
(c) the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to be identical to the Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such Bylaws; and
(d) the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, shall be the directors and officers as set forth in Section 5.13, after giving effect to the provisions of Section 5.13.
3.
1.5 Conversion of Company Shares, Options and Warrants.
(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of PTI, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of PTI or the Company:
(i) any Company Capital Stock held as treasury stock or held or owned by the Company, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and
(ii) subject to Section 1.5(c), each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i) and excluding Dissenting Shares) shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of PTI Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio.
(b) If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are shares of Company Restricted Stock then the shares of PTI Common Stock issued in exchange for such Company Restricted Stock will to the same extent be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and the certificates representing such PTI Common Stock shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. The Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, PTI is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in the applicable agreement governing such Company Restricted Stock.
(c) No fractional shares of PTI Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Common Stock (including any holders of Company Restricted Stock) who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of PTI Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of PTI Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender by such holder of a letter of transmittal in accordance with Section 1.8 and accompanying documents as required therein, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a share of PTI Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (or such other Nasdaq market on which the PTI Common Stock then trades) on the date the Merger becomes effective.
(d) All Company Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Equity Incentive Plan and all Company Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exchanged for options to purchase PTI Common Stock or warrants to purchase PTI Common Stock, as applicable, in accordance with Section 5.5(a).
(e) Each share of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation.
4.
(f) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock or PTI Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend or any subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including the Reverse Split), combination or exchange of shares, the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted to provide the holders of Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.
1.6 Contingent Value Right.
(a) Pursuant to a declaration to be made in advance by the PTI Board of Directors, Persons who as of immediately prior to the Effective Time are either (i) stockholders of record of PTI or (ii) have the right to receive PTI Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (as a result of the exercise or settlement of any PTI Options or PTI RSUs that is to take place immediately prior to the Effective Time but not to be adjusted for the Reverse Split), shall be entitled to receive one contractual contingent value right (a “CVR”) issued by PTI subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contingent Value Rights Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “CVR Agreement”), for each share of PTI Capital Stock held by such holders. For the avoidance of doubt, the distribution of CVRs shall be effective immediately following the exercise or settlement of any PTI Options or PTI RSUs and the distribution of such CVRs shall be made in respect of such holders’ ownership of PTI Common Stock.
(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, PTI shall authorize and duly adopt, execute and deliver, and will ensure that the CVR Holders’ Representative (as defined in the CVR Agreement) duly authorizes, executes and delivers, the CVR Agreement.
1.7 Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all shares of Company Common Stock, other than Dissenting Shares, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with Section 1.5(a), and all holders of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company; and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Corporation, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Sections 1.5 and 1.8.
1.8 Surrender of Certificates.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, PTI and the Company shall agree upon and select a reputable bank, transfer agent or trust company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). At the Effective Time, PTI shall deposit with the Exchange Agent: (i) certificates representing PTI Common Stock or non-certificated shares of PTI
5.
Common Stock represented by book entry that are issuable pursuant to Section 1.5(a) and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.5(c). The shares of PTI Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”
(b) At or before the Effective Time, the Company will deliver to PTI a true, complete and accurate listing of all record holders of Company Stock Certificates at the Effective Time, including the number and class of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such record holder, and the number of shares of PTI Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5 (the “Company Allocation Schedule”). Promptly after the Effective Time, PTI shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of Company Stock Certificates immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as PTI may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates in exchange for certificated or non-certificated book entry shares representing shares of PTI Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or PTI: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or book entry representing the number of whole shares of PTI Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(a) (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of PTI Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(c)); and (B) the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8(b), each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive a certificate or book entry representing shares of PTI Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of PTI Common Stock). If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, PTI shall, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any certificate or book entry representing shares of PTI Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit and indemnification agreement with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.
(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to PTI Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to the PTI Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with this Section 1.8 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).
6.
(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates as of the first anniversary of the Closing Date shall be delivered to PTI upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.8 shall thereafter look only to PTI for satisfaction of their claims for PTI Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of PTI Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of PTI Common Stock.
(e) Each of the Parties and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of any Company Stock Certificate or any other Person such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or under any other applicable Legal Requirement and shall be entitled to request any reasonably appropriate Tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 (or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable), from any recipient of payments hereunder. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority in accordance with applicable Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
(f) No party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of any Company Stock Certificate or to any other Person with respect to any shares of PTI Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.
1.9 Appraisal Rights.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the per share amount of the merger consideration described in Section 1.5 attributable to such Dissenting Shares. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock under the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the per share amount of the merger consideration attributable to such Dissenting Shares upon their surrender in the manner provided in Section 1.5.
(b) The Company shall give PTI prompt written notice of any demands by dissenting stockholders received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on the Company and any material correspondence received by the Company in connection with such demands.
7.
1.10 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be fully authorized, and shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts (in the name of the Company, Merger Sub and otherwise) to take such action.
1.11 Tax Consequences. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The parties to this Agreement adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 354 and 361 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a), to which PTI, Merger Sub and the Company are parties under Section 368(b) of the Code.
ARTICLE 2
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDINGS AND THE COMPANY
Holdings and the Company represent and warrant to PTI as follows, except as set forth in the written disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to PTI (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”). The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Article 2. The disclosures in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other sections and subsections in this Article 2 to the extent it is reasonably clear from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections. The inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material, has resulted in or would result in a Company Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the Ordinary Course of Business. Following the Company Reorganization, any reference to “Holdings” in this Article 2 shall be deemed to refer to the surviving corporation of such Company Reorganization.
2.1 Subsidiaries; Due Organization; Etc.
(a) The Company has no Subsidiaries, except for the Entities identified in Part 2.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Company Subsidiaries”); and neither the Company nor any of the other Entities identified in Part 2.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule owns any capital stock of, or any equity interest of any nature in, any other Entity, other than the Entities identified in Part 2.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

4.5 No Solicitation.
(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 9, each Party agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and each Party will use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of its officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, Representatives, consultants or other agents retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage, induce or knowingly facilitate the communication, making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry or take any action that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (ii) furnish any nonpublic information regarding such Party to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (iii) engage in discussions (other than to inform any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 4.5) or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (subject to Section 5.2 and Section 5.3); or (v) execute or enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted as provided below); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.5(a), prior to the adoption and approval of this Agreement by a Party’s stockholders (i.e., the Required PTI Stockholder Vote in the instance of PTI), such Party may furnish nonpublic information regarding such Party to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, any Person in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Inquiry or Acquisition Proposal, which such Party’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor, if any, and its outside legal counsel, constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Offer if: (A) neither such Party nor any Representative of such Party shall have
57.
breached this Section 4.5 in any material respect with respect to such Acquisition Inquiry or Acquisition Proposal (B) the Board of Directors of such Party concludes in good faith based on the advice of outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of such Party under applicable Legal Requirements; (C) prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information to, or entering into discussions with, such Person, such Party gives the other Party written notice of the identity of such Person and of such Party’s intention to furnish nonpublic information to, or enter into discussions with, such Person; (D) such Party receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing provisions at least as favorable to such Party as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (and a copy of any such executed confidentiality agreement is provided promptly to the other Party); provided that a standstill provision shall be required only to the extent that the failure to include such standstill provision is likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of such Party under applicable Legal Requirements; and (E) at least two (2) Business Days prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information to such Person, such Party furnishes such nonpublic information to the other Party (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously furnished by such Party to the other Party). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party acknowledges and agrees that, in the event any Representative of such Party (whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of such Party) takes any action that, if taken by such Party, would constitute a breach of this Section 4.5 by such Party, the taking of such action by such Representative shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 4.5 by such Party for purposes of this Agreement.
(b) If any Party or any Representative of such Party receives an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, then such Party shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after such Party becomes aware of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry) advise the other Party orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, and the terms thereof, including copies of all documentation submitted to such Party reasonably relevant to evaluating such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry).

(c) Each Party shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions, negotiations and communications with any Person that relate to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry as of the date of this Agreement and promptly following the date of this Agreement shall cause the destruction or return of any nonpublic information provided to such Person.

ARTICLE 5
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
5.1 Registration Statement; Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Information Statement.
(a) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC a Form S-4 Registration Statement, in which a Proxy Statement for the PTI stockholders will be included as a prospectus. PTI covenants and agrees that the Proxy Statement, including any pro forma financial statements included therein (and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), will comply with applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the DGCL in all material respects and will not, at the time that the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto is filed with the SEC or is first mailed to the stockholders of PTI, at the time of the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting and at the Effective Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. PTI further covenants to keep the Form S-4 Registration Statement effective for so long as necessary to complete the Merger and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 5.10(c), prior to the Form S-4 Registration Statement being declared effective, (1) PTI shall use its reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver to Xxxxxx and to Xxxxxxx the applicable “Tax Representation Letter” referenced in Section 5.10(c); and (2) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver to Xxxxxxx and to Xxxxxx the applicable “Tax Representation Letter” referenced in Section 5.10(c). Subject to Section 5.10(c), following the delivery of the Tax Representation Letters pursuant to the preceding sentence, (x) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause Xxxxxxx to deliver to it a Tax opinion satisfying the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act; and (y) PTI shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause Xxxxxx to deliver to it a tax opinion satisfying the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. In rendering such opinions, subject to Section 5.10(c), each of such counsel shall be entitled to rely on the Tax Representation Letters referred to in this Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.10(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, PTI makes no covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Proxy Statement (and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith) relating to or describing the Company, if any, based on information furnished in writing by the Company specifically for inclusion therein. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Form S-4 Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to have the Form S-4 Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after it is filed with the SEC. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to PTI’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Each Party shall promptly furnish to the other Party all information concerning such Party and such Party’s subsidiaries and such Party’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.1. If any event relating to PTI or the Company occurs, or if PTI or the Company becomes aware of any
59.
event or information, that, pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement, then such Party shall promptly inform the other Party thereof and shall cooperate fully in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to PTI’s stockholders.
(b) Prior to the Effective Time, PTI shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals needed to ensure that the PTI Common Stock to be issued in the Merger (to the extent required) shall be registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification under the securities law of every jurisdiction of the United States in which any registered holder of Company Capital Stock has an address of record on the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote pursuant to the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting; provided, however, that PTI shall not be required: (i) to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not now qualified; or (ii) to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.
(c) The Company shall reasonably cooperate with PTI and provide, and require its Representatives, advisors, accountants and attorneys to provide, PTI and its Representatives, advisors, accountants and attorneys, with all true, correct and complete information regarding the Company that is required by law to be included in the Form S-4 Registration Statement or reasonably requested from the Company to be included in the Form S-4 Registration Statement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to PTI a letter of the Company’s independent accounting firm, dated no more than two (2) Business Days before the date on which the Form S-4 Registration Statement becomes effective (and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to PTI), that is customary in scope and substance for letters delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements similar to the Form S-4 Registration Statement.
5.2 Company Stockholder Written Consent; Holdings Equityholder Consent.
(a) Promptly after the Form S-4 Registration Statement shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act, and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall deliver a copy of the Form S-4 Registration Statement and obtain the approval (by written consent or otherwise) (the “Company Stockholder Written Consent”) of (1) the Company stockholders sufficient for the Required Company Stockholder Vote and (2) the Holdings equityholders sufficient for the Required Holdings Equityholder Vote, for purposes of (i) adopting this Agreement and approving the Merger, (ii) approving the Company Reorganization, (iii) acknowledging that the approval given thereby is irrevocable and that each such stockholder or equityholder (as applicable) is aware of its rights to demand appraisal for its shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, a copy of which was attached thereto, and that each such stockholder or equityholder (as applicable) has received and read a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL, and (iv) acknowledging that by its approval of the Merger and Company Reorganization it is not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to its shares or limited liability company interests in connection with the Merger and thereby waives any rights to receive payment of the fair value of its capital stock under the DGCL (or of the Company capital stock it will receive in the Company Reorganization). Under no circumstances shall the Company assert that any other approval or consent is necessary by its stockholders or the equityholders of Holdings to approve the Merger or this Agreement or the Company Reorganization. For the sake of clarity, the Required Company Stockholder Vote will only be effective if and when the Required Equityholder Vote is effective.
60.
(b) The Company agrees that, subject to Section 5.2(c): (i) the Company Board of Directors shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement and the Merger and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit such approval within the timeframe set forth in Section 5.2(a) above (the recommendation of the Company Board of Directors that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement being referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation”); and (ii) the Company Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to PTI, and no resolution by the Company Board of Directors or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to PTI shall be adopted or proposed.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2(b), if at any time prior to the approval of this Agreement by the Required Company Stockholder Vote, the Company receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal did not arise out of a material breach of Section 4.5) from any Person that has not been withdrawn and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer, the Company Board of Directors may withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to PTI or, if applicable, recommend such Superior Offer (collectively a “Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change”) if, but only if, the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, based on such matters as it deems relevant following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change, in light of such Superior Offer, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, that, before making a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change, (i) PTI receives written notice from the Company confirming that the Company Board of Directors intends to change its recommendation at least four (4) Business Days in advance of effecting a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change (the “Company Recommendation Determination Notice”), but such notice shall not be deemed to constitute a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change; (ii) such notice describes in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such Superior Offer, including the identity of the Person making such offer (and attaching the most current and complete version of any written agreement or other documents reflecting the material terms relating thereto); (iii) if requested by PTI, the Company shall, during such four (4) Business Day period, negotiate with PTI in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change is no longer necessary and such Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Offer and (iv) after considering the results of any such negotiations and giving effect to any new proposals made by PTI, if any, and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Offer and that the failure to effect a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement under Section 9.1(k) below in light of such Superior Offer, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors under applicable Legal
61.
Requirements. The requirements and provisions of this Section 5.2(c) shall also apply in the event of any material change to the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal and each such material change shall require a new Company Recommendation Determination Notice, except that the references to four (4) Business Days shall be deemed to be three (3) Business Days.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2(b), at any time prior to the approval of this Agreement by the Required Company Stockholder Vote, the Company Board of Directors may, if an event, fact, development, circumstance or occurrence that affects or would be reasonably likely to affect the business, assets or operations of the Company that occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement, was neither known nor reasonably foreseeable by the Company Board of Directors as of, or prior to, the date of this Agreement and becomes known by the Company Board of Directors after the date of this Agreement (a “Company Intervening Event”), effect a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change if it determines in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change in light of such Company Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that the Company Board of Directors may not effect a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change due to a Company Intervening Event unless (i) Company shall have provided prior written notice to PTI (the “Company Intervening Event Recommendation Determination Notice”) at least four (4) Business Days in advance of its intention to effect such Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change, (ii) such notice describes in reasonable detail the facts and reasons for such intention, (iii) if requested by PTI, the Company shall, during such four (4) Business Day period, negotiate with PTI in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with the Company Intervening Event is no longer necessary, and (iv) after considering the results of any such negotiations and giving effect to any new proposals made by PTI, if any, and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Company Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors under applicable Legal Requirements. The provisions of this Section 5.2(d) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to any such Company Intervening Event and each such material change shall require a new Company Intervening Event Determination Notice, except that the references to four (4) Business Days shall be deemed to be three (3) Business Days. For further clarity, the Company Board of Directors shall not be permitted to effect a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 5.2(d) with respect to or in connection with any Acquisition Proposal (which shall be covered by and subject in all respects to Section 5.2(c)).
5.3 PTI Stockholders’ Meeting.
(a) PTI shall take all action necessary under applicable Legal Requirements to call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of PTI Common Stock to vote on the PTI Stockholder Proposals (such meeting, the “PTI Stockholders’ Meeting”). The PTI Stockholders’ Meeting shall be held as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is
62.
declared effective under the Securities Act, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act (other than to the extent that the Form S-4 Registration Statement is subject to any stop order or proceeding (or threatened proceeding by the SEC) seeking a stop order with respect to the Form S-4 Registration Statement, in which case such forty-five (45) day period shall be tolled for so long as such stop order remains in effect or proceeding or threatened proceeding remains pending). PTI shall take reasonable measures to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on the date of the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting, or a date preceding the date on which the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled, PTI reasonably believes that (x) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the required approval of the holders of PTI Common Stock at the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting with respect to all of the PTI Stockholder Proposals, whether or not a quorum would be present at the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting or (y) it will not have sufficient shares of PTI Common Stock represented (whether in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting, subject to compliance with all Legal Requirements, PTI may (and, if requested by the Company, PTI shall) postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting, as long as the date of the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of thirty (30) calendar days in connection with any such postponements or adjournments pursuant to either or both of the preceding clauses (x) and (y); provided that, subject to compliance with all Legal Requirements, PTI may postpone or adjourn the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that PTI has determined, after consultation with outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Legal Requirements and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by stockholders of PTI prior to the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting.
(b) PTI agrees that, subject to Section 5.3(c): (i) the PTI Board of Directors shall recommend that PTI’s stockholders vote to approve the PTI Stockholder Proposals (the recommendation of the PTI Board of Directors that PTI’s stockholders vote to approve the PTI Stockholder Proposals being referred to as the “PTI Board Recommendation”); and (ii) the PTI Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to the Company, and no resolution by the PTI Board of Directors or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the PTI Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to the Company shall be adopted or proposed.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(b), if at any time prior to the approval of the PTI Stockholder Proposals by the Required PTI Stockholder Vote, PTI receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal did not arise out of a material breach of Section 4.5) from any Person that has not been withdrawn and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the PTI Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer, the PTI Board of Directors may withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the PTI Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to the Company or, if applicable recommend such Superior Offer (collectively a “PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change”) if, but only if, the PTI Board of Directors determines in good faith, based on such matters as it deems relevant following consultation with its outside
63.
legal counsel, that the failure to effect a PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change, in light of such Superior Offer, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the PTI Board of Directors under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, that, before making a PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change, (i) the Company receives written notice from PTI confirming that the PTI Board of Directors intends to change its recommendation at least four (4) Business Days in advance of effecting a PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change (the “PTI Recommendation Determination Notice”), but such notice shall not be deemed to constitute a PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change; (ii) such notice describes in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such Superior Offer, including the identity of the Person making such offer (and attaching the most current and complete version of any written agreement or other documents reflecting the material terms relating thereto); (iii) if requested by the Company, PTI shall, during such four (4) Business Day period, negotiate with the Company in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change is no longer necessary and such Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Offer; and (iv) after considering the results of any such negotiations and giving effect to any new proposals made by the Company, if any, and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the PTI Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Offer and that the failure to effect a PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement under Section 9.1(j) below in light of such Superior Offer, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the PTI Board of Directors under applicable Legal Requirements. The requirements and provisions of this Section 5.3(c) shall also apply in the event of any material change to the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal and each such material change shall require a new PTI Recommendation Determination Notice, except that the references to four (4) Business Days shall be deemed to be three (3) Business Days.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(b), at any time prior to the approval of the PTI Stockholder Proposals, the PTI Board of Directors may, if an event, fact, development, circumstance or occurrence that affects or would be reasonably likely to affect the business, assets or operations of PTI that occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement, was neither known nor reasonably foreseeable by the PTI Board of Directors as of, or prior to, the date of this Agreement and becomes known by the PTI Board of Directors after the date of this Agreement (a “PTI Intervening Event”), effect a PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change if it determines in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect a PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change in light of such PTI Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the PTI Board of Directors under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that the PTI Board of Directors may not effect a PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change due to a PTI Intervening Event unless (i) PTI shall have provided prior written notice to the Company (the “PTI Intervening Event Recommendation Determination Notice”) at least four (4) Business Days in advance of its intention to effect such PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change, (ii) such notice describes in reasonable detail the facts and reasons for such intention, (iii) if requested by the Company, PTI shall, during such four (4) Business Day period, negotiate with the Company in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with the PTI Intervening Event is no longer necessary, and (iv) after considering the results of any such
64.
negotiations and giving effect to any new proposals made by the Company, if any, and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the PTI Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such PTI Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the PTI Board of Directors under applicable Legal Requirements. The provisions of this Section 5.3(d) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to any such PTI Intervening Event and each such material change shall require a new PTI Intervening Event Determination Notice, except that the references to four (4) Business Days shall be deemed to be three (3) Business Days. For further clarity, the PTI Board of Directors shall not be permitted to effect a PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) with respect to or in connection with any Acquisition Proposal (which shall be covered by and subject in all respects to Section 5.3(c)).
(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit PTI or its Board of Directors from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of PTI a position as contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act (other than Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act), and (ii) making a “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of PTI pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that this Section 5.3(e) shall not be deemed to affect whether any such disclosure, other than such a “stop, look and listen” communication, would otherwise be deemed to be a PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change. For clarity, a factually accurate public statement that describes PTI’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, that no position has been taken by the PTI Board of Directors as to the advisability or desirability of such Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto will not be deemed a PTI Board Adverse Recommendation Change.
5.4 Regulatory Approvals. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to file or otherwise submit, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all applications, notices, reports and other documents reasonably required to be filed by such Party with or otherwise submitted by such Party to any Governmental Body with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, and to submit promptly any additional information requested by any such Governmental Body. The Company and PTI shall respond as promptly as is practicable to respond in compliance with: (i) any inquiries or requests received from the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice for information or documentation; and (ii) any inquiries or requests received from any state attorney general, foreign antitrust or competition authority or other Governmental Body in connection with antitrust or competition matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, each of PTI and the Company acknowledge and agree that (a) nothing in this Agreement shall give the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct PTI’s operations for purposes of any non-US antitrust, merger control, or competition laws prior to the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period pursuant to any non-US antitrust, merger control, or competition laws and (b) no consent of PTI or the Company shall be required with respect to any matter set forth in this Agreement to the extent the requirement of such consent would violate any applicable antitrust Laws.
65.
5.5 Options, RSUs and Warrants.
(a) Company Options and Warrants.
(i) At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Equity Incentive Plan, whether or not vested, shall automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become an option to purchase PTI Common Stock, and PTI shall assume the Equity Incentive Plan and each such Company Option in accordance with the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan and the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Company Option is evidenced. All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under Company Options assumed by PTI shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to PTI Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Company Option assumed by PTI may be exercised solely for PTI Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of PTI Common Stock subject to each Company Option assumed by PTI shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of PTI Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the PTI Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Company Option assumed by PTI shall be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of the shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any Company Option assumed by PTI shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Company Option shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that: (A) to the extent provided under the terms of a Company Option, such Company Option assumed by PTI in accordance with this Section 5.5(a)(i) shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to PTI Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time; and (B) the PTI Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of Company Board of Directors or any committee thereof with respect to each Company Option assumed by PTI. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.5(a)(i), the conversion of each Company Option (regardless of whether such option qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) into an option to purchase shares of PTI Common Stock shall be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that the conversion of a Company Option would not be intended to constitute a “modification” of such Company Option for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.
(ii) As soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Time), PTI shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8, if available for use by PTI, relating to the shares of PTI Common Stock issuable with respect to Company Options assumed by PTI in accordance with Section 5.5(a)(i).
66.
(iii) Subject to Section 5.5(a)(iv), at the Effective Time, each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Company Warrants that are deemed to have been automatically exercised pursuant to their terms as a result of the consummation of the Merger), if any, shall be converted into and become a warrant to purchase shares of PTI Common Stock and PTI shall assume each such Company Warrant in accordance with its terms. All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under Company Warrants assumed by PTI shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to shares of PTI Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Company Warrant assumed by PTI may be exercised solely for shares of PTI Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of PTI Common Stock subject to each Company Warrant assumed by PTI shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock, or the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrants, that were subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of PTI Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the shares of PTI Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Company Warrant assumed by PTI shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on any Company Warrant assumed by PTI shall continue in full force and effect and the term and other provisions of such Company Warrant shall otherwise remain unchanged.
(iv) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company Warrants and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.5(a) and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Options and Company Warrants have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 5.5(a).
(b) PTI Options and RSUs.
(i) Prior to the Closing, the PTI Board shall have adopted appropriate resolutions and taken all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that each outstanding PTI RSU shall be accelerated in full effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding PTI RSU shall be accelerated in full and, in exchange therefor, effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each former holder of any such PTI RSU shall be entitled to receive and shall be deemed to hold a number of shares of PTI Common Stock as is equal to (i) the total number of shares of PTI Common Stock subject to such PTI RSU, less (ii) the number of shares of PTI Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to the holder pursuant to the PTI RSU to be withheld by PTI in satisfaction of the tax withholding obligations arising as a result of the vesting and settlement of such PTI RSU equal to a number of shares of PTI Common Stock having a fair market value (which, for this purpose, shall be the closing price per share of PTI Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time) equal to the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation based on the minimum applicable statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes (rounded up to the nearest whole share) unless prior to the Effective Time, the holder has made arrangement satisfactory to PTI to satisfy such tax withholding obligation pursuant to another method provided in the applicable PTI RSU award agreement, in which case, the full number of shares of PTI Common Stock subject to such PTI RSU shall be issued to such holder.
67.
(ii) Prior to the Closing, the PTI Board shall have adopted appropriate resolutions and taken all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that each unexpired and unexercised PTI Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be accelerated in full effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(iii) Effective as of immediately prior to, but subject to the occurrence of, the Effective Time, each award of In the Money PTI Options shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full by the holder thereof, and in connection with such exercise, each such holder shall be issued and shall be deemed to hold a number of shares of PTI Common Stock as is equal to (i) the total number of shares of PTI Common Stock subject to such award of In the Money PTI Options less (ii) the number of shares of PTI Common Stock having a fair market value (which, for this purpose, shall be the closing price per share of PTI Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time) that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price of such award of In the Money PTI Options (with any balance of the aggregate exercise price to be paid in cash by the holder) less (iii) the number of shares of PTI Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to the holder pursuant to the award of In the Money PTI Options to be withheld by PTI in satisfaction of the tax withholding obligations arising as a result of the deemed exercise of such award of In the Money PTO Options equal to a number of shares of PTI Common Stock having a fair market value (which, for this purpose, shall be the closing price per share of PTI Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time) equal to the amount necessary to satisfy the withholding obligation based on the minimum applicable statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes (rounded up to the nearest whole share) unless prior to the Effective Time, the holder has made arrangement satisfactory to PTI to satisfy such tax withholding obligation pursuant to another method provided in the applicable In the Money PTO Option award agreement, in which case, the full number of shares of PTI Common Stock subject to such In the Money PTO Option shall be issued to such holder.
(iv) Each PTI Option that is a Continuing PTI Option shall remain outstanding and exercisable in accordance with its terms.
(v) Each PTI Option that is not an In the Money PTI Option or a Continuing PTI Option shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time.
5.6 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
(a) From the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, each of PTI and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of PTI or the Company (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”), incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out
68.
of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of PTI or the Company, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL for directors or officers of Delaware corporations. Each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of reasonable and documented legal expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from PTI and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, to the same extent as such D&O Indemnified Party is entitled to advancement of expenses as of the date of this Agreement by PTI or the Company pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of PTI and the Company (as applicable) in effect on the date of this Agreement or any applicable indemnification agreement, upon receipt by PTI or the Surviving Corporation from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided, that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides a written undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
(b) The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of each of PTI and the Surviving Corporation shall contain, and PTI shall cause the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of each of PTI and the Company than are presently set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of PTI and the Company, as applicable, which provisions shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six years’ time from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of PTI and the Company, as applicable.
(c) PTI shall purchase an insurance policy with an effective date as of the Closing which maintains in effect for six years from the Closing the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by PTI; provided, that PTI may, at its sole cost and expense, substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable; provided, however, that the cost of any such policy shall not exceed 300% of the prior annual premium payment made by PTI.
(d) PTI shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 5.6 in connection with their successful enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 5.6.
(e) The provisions of this Section 5.6 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former officers and directors of PTI and the Company, as applicable, by law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their Representatives. In addition to the rights provided by this Agreement, to the extent that current and former officers and directors of PTI have existing rights under any agreement between such officer or director and PTI with respect to indemnification, the Surviving Corporation will take all good faith efforts necessary to maintain in place such other agreement and to indemnify such officer or director to the maximum extent possible under this Agreement as well as such other agreement.
69.
(f) In the event PTI or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of PTI or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.6.
5.7 Additional Agreements.
(a) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken all actions necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party to this Agreement: (i) shall make all filings and other submissions (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such Party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) reasonably required to be obtained (pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement or Contract, or otherwise) by such Party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions or for such Contract to remain in full force and effect; (iii) shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to lift any injunction prohibiting, or any other legal bar to, the Contemplated Transactions; and (iv) shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to satisfy the conditions precedent to the consummation of this Agreement.

5.8 Disclosure. Without limiting any of either Party’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement, each Party shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or any Representative of such Party to, issue any press release or make any disclosure (to any customers or employees of such Party, to the public or otherwise) regarding the Contemplated Transactions unless: (a) the other Party shall have approved such press release or disclosure in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed; or (b) such Party shall have determined in good faith, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, that such disclosure is required by applicable Legal Requirements and, to the extent practicable, before such press release or disclosure is issued or made, such Party advises the other Party of, and consults with the other Party regarding, the text of such press release or disclosure; provided, however, that each of the Company and PTI may make any public statement in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the Company or PTI in compliance with this Section 5.8.
70.
5.9 Listing. PTI shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of PTI Common Stock being issued in the Merger to be approved for listing (subject to notice of issuance) on The Nasdaq Global Market or The Nasdaq Capital Market at or prior to the Effective Time. The Company will cooperate with PTI as reasonably requested by PTI with respect to the listing application for the PTI Common Stock (the “Nasdaq Listing Application”) and promptly furnish to PTI all information concerning the Company and its stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.9.
5.10 Tax Matters.
(a) PTI, Merger Sub and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and agree not to, and not to permit or cause any Affiliate or any Subsidiary to, take any actions or cause any action to be taken which would reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying, as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.
(b) This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.368-2(g). The Parties shall treat and shall not take any Tax reporting position inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal, state and other relevant Tax purposes, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.
(c) If, in connection with the preparation and filing of the Form S-4 Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement, the SEC requests or requires that tax opinions be prepared and submitted in such connection, each of PTI and the Company shall deliver to Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxx, respectively, customary Tax representation letters satisfactory to its counsel (such letters, each a “Tax Representation Letter”), dated and executed as of the date the Form S-4 Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC and such other date(s) as determined reasonably necessary by such counsel in connection with the preparation and filing of the Form S-4 Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement, and Xxxxxx shall furnish an opinion, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, to the effect that the Intended Tax Treatment should apply to the Merger and Xxxxxxx shall furnish an opinion, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, to the effect that the Intended Tax Treatment should apply to the Merger (collectively, such opinions, the “Tax Opinions”).
(d) PTI (or the Company, to the extent required by law) will prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all income Tax Returns of PTI or any of its Subsidiaries to be filed for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion of any Straddle Period through the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) the due date of which (taking into account extensions) is after the Closing Date. PTI (or the Company, as the case may be) will promptly provide or make available to the CVR Holders’ Representative copies of all
71.
income Tax Returns that are to be filed by PTI or any of its Subsidiaries (or the Company, as the case may be) with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period after the Closing Date. Prior to filing, PTI (or the Company, as the case may be) shall permit the CVR Holders’ Representative to review and approve each such Tax Return, providing the CVR Holders’ Representative with a reasonable time for such review and approval; provided, that such approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. PTI (or the Company, as the case may be) shall make the changes to such Tax Returns that are reasonably requested by the CVR Holders’ Representative and are consistent with applicable Law, as reasonably determined by PTI, and past practices of PTI, to the extent applicable (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, any items of expense, losses, credits and deductions (including net operating loss carryforwards) of PTI existing as of the Effective Time shall be used to offset Taxes paid or payable in connection with a PTI Asset Disposition to the maximum extent permitted by Law before being used for any other purpose).
5.11 Legends. PTI shall be entitled to place appropriate legends on the certificated and non-certificated book entries evidencing any PTI Common Stock to be received by equity holders of the Company who may be considered “affiliates” of PTI for purposes of Rules 144 and 145 under the Securities Act reflecting the restrictions set forth in Rules 144 and 145 and to issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent for PTI Common Stock.
5.12 Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate reasonably with the other Party and shall provide the other Party with such assistance as may be reasonably requested for the purpose of facilitating the performance by each Party of its respective obligations under this Agreement, to cause the Closing to occur as promptly as reasonably possible and to enable the combined entity to continue to meet its obligations following the Closing.
5.13 Directors and Officers. PTI and the Company shall obtain and deliver to the other Party at or prior to the Effective Time the resignation of each officer and director of PTI or the Company who is not continuing as an officer or director of PTI following the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, but to be effective at the Effective Time, the PTI Board of Directors shall appoint Board designees selected by the Company. Immediately after the Effective Time, the PTI Board of Directors shall consist of nine (9) members, seven (7) of whom shall be the current directors of the Company and two (2) of whom shall be designated by members of the PTI Board of Directors existing as of the date hereof, such designation to be consented to by the Company. Immediately following the Effective Time, a majority of the members of the PTI Board of Directors shall meet the requisite independence requirements of Nasdaq’s listing standards. The Parties shall further take all necessary action so that the Persons listed in Schedule 5.13 are elected or appointed, as applicable, to the positions of officers and directors of PTI and the Surviving Corporation, as set forth therein, to serve in such positions effective as of the Effective Time. If any Person named above as a director is unable or unwilling to serve as a director of PTI after the Effective Time, as set forth therein, the Party appointing such Person shall designate a successor.
5.14 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, PTI shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any acquisitions of PTI Common Stock and any options to purchase PTI Common Stock resulting from the Merger, by each individual who is reasonably expected to become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to PTI, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
72.
5.15 Reverse Split. PTI shall submit to the holders of PTI Common Stock at the PTI Stockholders’ Meeting a proposal to approve and adopt an amendment to the PTI Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the PTI Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of PTI Common Stock at a reverse stock split ratio in the range mutually agreed to by PTI and the Company (the “Reverse Split”).
5.16 Termination of Certain Agreements, Plans and Rights. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to terminate at or prior to the Effective Time, those agreements set forth on Schedule D (collectively, the “Investor Agreements”). If so requested by the Company upon written notice to PTI no later than five (5) days prior to the Closing, the PTI Board of Directors (or applicable committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions to terminate PTI’s 401(k) plan effective no later than the day immediately prior to the Closing. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the participation in any new offerings under the ESPP shall be suspended and the ESPP shall terminate effective as of the Closing.
5.17 Certificates.
