MERGER
1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with Section 252 of the DGCL and the applicable provisions of the BVI BCA, IGPAC shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time. Following the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of IGPAC shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"). The effects and consequences of the Merger shall be as set forth in this Agreement, the DGCL and the BVI BCA.
1 |
1.2 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall duly prepare, execute and file with respect to the Merger (a) a certificate of merger (the "Certificate of Merger") complying with Section 252(c) of the DGCL with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and (b) articles of merger (“Articles of Merger”) complying with the applicable provisions of the BVI BCA with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the BVI BCA. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger and the Articles of Merger, or such later time as specified in the Certificate of Merger and the Articles of Merger (as applicable, the "Effective Time").
1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger, the Articles of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the BVI BCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of IGPAC and the Company shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of IGPAC and the Company shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
1.4 Memorandum and Articles of Association. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of IGPAC, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall cease and the Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “MOA”) of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the MOA of the Surviving Corporation.
1.5 Directors and Officers. The directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.
1.6 Effect on Capital Stock and Stock Rights. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of the outstanding capital of IGPAC or the Company:
(a) Each share of common stock of IGPAC, par value $0.0001 per share ("IGPAC Common Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Dissenting Shares, shall be converted into the right to receive 0.05 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable ordinary shares ("Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares") of the Surviving Corporation (the “Conversion Ratio”), subject to any adjustments made pursuant to Section 1.7.
(b) Each share of IGPAC Common Stock that is owned by the Company or IGPAC (as treasury stock or otherwise) will automatically be canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.
2 |
(c) Each share of capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding following the consummation of the Merger.
(d) Each right to purchase IGPAC Common Stock (the “IGPAC Stock Rights”), including outstanding warrants, shall be converted into one substantially equivalent warrant or other right to purchase Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares (“Surviving Corporation Stock Rights”). The IGPAC Stock Rights shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. Each of the rights to purchase IGPAC Common Stock shall have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable agreements governing the rights to purchase IGPAC Stock Rights which are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) each of the Surviving Corporation Stock Rights will be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares equal to the product of the number of shares of IGPAC Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such warrant or other right immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Conversion Ratio then in effect and rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such IGPAC Stock Rights will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of IGPAC Common Stock at which each such warrant or other right was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Ratio then in effect, rounded down to the nearest whole cent. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Surviving Corporation Stock Rights remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares for delivery upon the exercise of such Surviving Corporation Stock Rights.
1.7 Adjustments to Conversion Ratio. Other than in connection with increasing by stock split or stock dividend the 100 outstanding ordinary shares of the Company to 14,295,836 outstanding shares, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any share sub-division or combination, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares or IGPAC Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares or IGPAC Common Stock occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, so as to provide holders of IGPAC Common Stock and Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such share sub-division or combination, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization or like change.
1.8 Exchange Procedures
(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deposit with an exchange agent reasonably satisfactory to the Company and IGPAC (the “Exchange Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of shares of IGPAC Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with Section 1.6(a), certificates representing the number of Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares sufficient to deliver, and the Company shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely deliver, the aggregate number of Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares issuable in the Merger to holders of shares of IGPAC Common Stock (the “Exchange Fund”).
3 |
(b) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will send to each record holder of IGPAC Common Stock, other than any Dissenter, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the IGPAC Common Stock shall pass, only upon delivery of the certificate(s) representing shares of IGPAC Common Stock to the Exchange Agent and shall be in a form and have such other provisions as are reasonably satisfactory to the Company and IGPAC) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of shares of IGPAC Common Stock in exchange for Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, each holder of IGPAC Common Stock, upon surrender thereof to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or certificates representing the full number of Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares into which the aggregate number of such shares of IGPAC Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement. The Exchange Agent shall accept such shares of IGPAC Common Stock upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. In the event of a transfer of ownership of IGPAC Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of IGPAC, Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares may be issued with respect to such IGPAC Common Stock to such a transferee only if the certificate(s) representing such shares of IGPAC Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.
(c) All Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of shares of IGPAC Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of IGPAC Common Stock.
(d) No certificates or scrip representing less than one Surviving Corporation Ordinary Share shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of IGPAC Common Stock pursuant hereto. Any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable pursuant hereto shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of shares of IGPAC Common Stock for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation or otherwise on the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of shares of IGPAC Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Section 1.8 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for the Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares with respect to the shares of IGPAC Common Stock formerly represented thereby to which such holders are entitled pursuant hereto.
(f) None of IGPAC, the Company, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
4 |
(g) If any certificate representing shares of IGPAC Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the applicable Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares with respect to the shares of IGPAC Common Stock formerly represented thereby pursuant to this Agreement.
1.9 Stock Transfer Books. At the close of business, New York time, on the Closing Date, the stock transfer books of IGPAC shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of IGPAC Common Stock or Stock Rights thereafter on the records of IGPAC. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of certificates representing IGPAC Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of IGPAC Common Stock formerly represented thereby, except as otherwise provided herein or by law. On or after the Effective Time, any such certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation for any reason shall be converted into the Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares with respect to the shares of IGPAC Common Stock formerly represented thereby.
1.10 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of IGPAC Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares being referred to collectively as the "Dissenting Shares" and any such holder being referred to as a “Dissenter” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder's appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive Surviving Corporation Ordinary shares, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder's right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive Surviving Corporation Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 1.6(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate(s) formerly representing such shares pursuant to Section 1.8.
1.11 The Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the third Business Day after the date on which the last of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI is fulfilled, at the offices of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, LLP, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, XxXxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other time, date or place as the Parties may agree upon in writing. The date on which the Closing takes place is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”
1.12 Further Assurances; Post-Closing Cooperation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time or from time to time after the Closing, each of the Parties shall execute and deliver such other documents and instruments, provide such materials and information and take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary, proper or advisable, to the extent permitted by law, to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and the other documents relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to which it is a party.
5 |
1.13 Section 368 Reorganization. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a ‘‘reorganization’’ within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The parties to this Agreement (a) hereby adopt this Agreement as a ‘‘plan of reorganization’’ within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury Regulations, (b) agree to file and retain such information as shall be required under Section 1.368-3 of the United States Treasury Regulations, and (c) shall file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with such characterization. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that no party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated on, after or prior to the Effective Time has or may have on any such reorganization status. Each of the parties acknowledge and agree that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own taxes, including any adverse tax consequences that may result if the Merger is determined not to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.
1.14 Shareholder Representative.
(a) The Shareholders hereby designate Xxxxx Xxxx Xxx as the sole and exclusive representative of the Shareholders (the “Shareholder Representative”) from and after the date hereof with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement with full powers of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of the Shareholders with respect to the performance on behalf of the Shareholders under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as the same may be from time to time amended, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as the Shareholder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) The appointment of the Shareholder Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and any other Person (including IGPAC) may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any actions of the Shareholder Representative as the acts of the Shareholders in all matters referred to in this Agreement. The Shareholders, by execution of this Agreement, hereby ratify and confirm all that the Shareholder Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of the Shareholder Representative’s appointment as attorney-in-fact and agent of the Shareholders and, as such, shall have full power and authority, among other things, to enter into any amendment of this Agreement (or waive any rights or obligations hereunder) in the name and on behalf of Shareholders as the Shareholder Representative. The Shareholder Representative shall act for the Shareholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in such manner as the Shareholder Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Shareholders as a whole, but the Shareholder Representative shall not be responsible to any Shareholder for any loss or damage any Shareholder may suffer by reason of the performance by the Shareholder Representative of such Shareholder Representative’s duties under this Agreement, other than loss or damage arising from fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith in the performance of such Shareholder Representative’s duties under this Agreement.
6 |
(c) The Shareholder Representative is authorized to act on behalf of the Shareholders notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Shareholders, and any Person shall be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by the Shareholder Representative under this Agreement without liability to, or obligation to inquire of, the Shareholders. If Xxxxx Xxxx Xxx ceases to function in such capacity for any reason whatsoever, or is unable, due to incapacity or otherwise, to serve as the Shareholder Representative, then the Shareholders shall select a successor Shareholder Representative reasonably satisfactory to IGPAC; provided, however, that IGPAC shall be provided at least ten days’ prior written notice of the selection of a successor; provided further however, that if for any reason no successor has been appointed within ten days, then any of the Shareholders shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Shareholder Representative. Each successor Shareholder Representative, if required to serve, shall sign an acknowledgment in writing agreeing to perform and be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Shareholder Representative. Each successor Shareholder Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Shareholder Representative and the term “Shareholder Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to include any successor Shareholder Representative.
1.15 Sale Restriction.
(a) During the one-year period beginning on the Closing Date, no Shareholder shall sell, assign or otherwise transfer any shares of the Surviving Corporation’s Stock.
(b) Certificates representing the Surviving Corporation’s Stock held by the Shareholders shall bear a prominent legend to the effect of the provisions of this Section 1.15.
Article II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SHAREHOLDERs AND THE COMPANY
Subject to the exceptions set forth in the disclosure schedule of the Company attached hereto (the “Company Schedule”), the Shareholders and the Company, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to IGPAC as follows:
7 |
2.1 Organization and Qualification.
(a) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties and to carry on its business as it is now being or currently planned by the Company to be conducted. The Company is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, consents, certificates, approvals and orders (“Approvals”) necessary to own, lease and operate the properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as it is now being or currently planned by the Company to be conducted, except where the failure to have such Approvals could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Complete and correct copies of the memorandum of association and articles of association (or other comparable governing instruments with different names) (collectively referred to herein as “Charter Documents”) of the Company, as amended and currently in effect, have been heretofore delivered to IGPAC. The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of its Charter Documents.
(b) The Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Each jurisdiction in which the Company is so qualified or licensed is listed in Section 2.1 of the Company Schedule.
(c) The minute books of the Company contain true, complete and accurate records of all meetings and consents in lieu of meetings of its board of directors (and any committees thereof), similar governing bodies and member (“Corporate Records”) since the date of the Company’s inception. Copies of such Corporate Records of the Company have been heretofore delivered to IGPAC.
(d) The stock transfer, warrant and option transfer and ownership records of the Company contain true, complete and accurate records of the securities ownership as of the date of such records and the transfers involving the capital stock and other securities of the Company since the time of the Company’s organization. Copies of such records of the Company have been heretofore delivered to IGPAC.
2.2 Subsidiaries and Gaming Promoter. The Company has no direct or indirect subsidiaries or participations in joint ventures. Except in reference to the Xxxx Xxx VIP Room as referenced below, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any ownership, equity, profits or voting interest in any Person and has no agreement or commitment to purchase any such interest, and has not agreed and is not obligated to make nor is bound by any written, oral or other agreement, contract, subcontract, lease, binding understanding, instrument, note, option, warranty, purchase order, license, sublicense, insurance policy, benefit plan, commitment or undertaking of any nature, as of the date hereof or as may hereafter be in effect under which it may become obligated to make, any future investment in or capital contribution to any other entity. On February 1, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the right to 100% of the profit derived by the Xxxx Xxx VIP Room from the promotion of the Xxxx Xxx VIP Room at the Galaxy Casino in Macau. Current Macau laws do not allow non-Macau companies, such as the Company, to directly operate a gaming promotion business in Macau. The profit interest agreement allows for the Company to exercise effective control and receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the operation of the Xxxx Xxx VIP Room. The major Shareholder of the Company, Xxxxx Xxxx Xxx (“Xx. Xxxxx”), has a valid, enforceable agreement pursuant to which Xx. Xxxxx receives revenues from operating the Xxxx Xxx VIP Room” at the Galaxy Casino, (Xx. Xxxxx, in such capacity, the “Gaming Promoter,”). Xx. Xxxxx has irrevocably assigned to the Company all of his right, title and interest in and to 100% of the profits earned by Xx. Xxxxx as a Gaming Promoter. The Gaming Promoter has all necessary Approvals to operate its business, none of which Approvals will expire prior to December 31, 2012.
