ARTICLE I
PLAN OF EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES
MMTC is a California corporation that has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of which approximately 25,000,000 shares on a fully diluted basis will be currently outstanding at the time of closing. MMTC also has issued 250,000 Series C convertible preferred shares, $1.00 par value, with a conversion ratio of 4 shares of common for 1 share of preferred; 250,000 Series D convertible preferred shares, $1.00 par value, with a conversion ratio of 2 shares of common for 1 share of preferred and 83,982 shares of Class B common stock. The estimated 25 Million outstanding shares are computed after taking into account all securities which could be converted to common.
The parties hereby propose to have MMTC acquire most of the issued and outstanding shares of Zhongke (or its corporate parent) for shares of MMTC common stock (the "Shares"), which shall be issued to Zhongke Shareholders at the Closing. The share exchange is expected to be on the following terms:
1.1
Plan of Exchange. The parties intend to issue sufficient securities such that Zhongke Shareholders shall become the majority holder of securities and therefore control the operations of MMTC and the current Zhongke Shareholders shall effectively acquire voting and operational control of MMTC through a “reverse acquisition.” by way of WOFE set forth in Definition and Clause 1.2 and 2.3 hereafterf.
7
(a)
Xxxxxxx Money Deposit.
Zhongke has deposited $50,000 US Dollars in escrow with Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, its U. S. counsel, in his trust account. If the transaction fails to close for any reason other than fault by MMTC within fifteen days of all PRC and US approvals then this xxxxxxx money deposit shall be due and payable to MMTC, without recourse or setoff by Zhongke. If PRC approvals have not been obtained by May 15, 2007, then MMTC can elect to terminate this agreement and be immediately paid the $50,000 deposited in escrow, as referenced above.
(b) Cash Consideration and Escrow Requirements. After the $50,000 deposit referenced above has been paid, Zhongke shall pay at closing an additional total of Four Hundred Thirty Thousand U. S. Dollars ($430,000.00) cash to MMTC, for a total cash consideration of $480,000. MMTC shall deliver the corporate shell without assets or liabilities at closing (except the existing business of MMTC, which will have a record date for a shareholder dividend that has been set earlier, but for which the mechanical distribution has not occurred, and will occur within 30 days of closing, or at some reasonable time as agreed by the parties) and MMTC shall employ the funds as needed to liquidate and remove all debts or liabilities, including any payments to its attorneys and consultants, incurred as a result of the Definitive Agreement.
(c)
Reverse Stock Split. Prior to the closing of this transaction and upon obtaining approval of the shareholders, MMTC will effect a reverse stock split of issued and outstanding shares, including any securities associated with any outstanding options, warrants or other securities. MMTC shall cause approximately a 1-for-100 reverse stock split or such other reverse stock split as may be required to effectively lower the issued and outstanding shares, on a fully diluted basis to 250,000 shares immediately prior to closing.
(d) 81,550,000 newly issued shares (post split) shall be issued to the shareholders of Zhongke or their designees at closing from the existing authorized shares.
1.2
Compliance with Chinese “WOFE” Regulations.. The parties acknowledge that approval from Xi'An City and/or Shaanxi provincial governments in the PRC may be required for transfer by Zhongke to MMTC and therefore give advance consent to nominal changes needed for such approval. If necessary, in the opinion of Chinese counsel, this may include transfer of about 80% shares of Zhongke to QY, and then QY transfer 100% equities to a Hong Kong Company(HKC), which is a nominee company of Zhongke and /or QY, and Zhongke will be indirectly owned by QY, and QY becomes a wholly owned foreign entity (WOFE). Provided, however, that the nominal transfer shall not alter the valuation or operations of Zhongke. In that event, all of Zhongke’s rights, responsibilities and benefits under this Agreement shall be assigned to and assumed by HKC. All PRC approvals shall be obtained by 15 May 2007.
8
1.3
Reverse Triangular Merger.
The parties intend that this exchange will be tax free under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code to the fullest extent possible. If necessary in the opinion of tax counsel to preserve tax free status, MMTC will establish a special purpose California corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary designated as MMTC Merger Corporation or some similar name. Zhongke shall merge with MMTC Merger Corporation and shall be the surviving entity. The Board of Directors and Management of MMTC and Zhongke shall consent to all acts reasonably necessary for the establishment of MMTC Merger Corporation and the subsequent merger. To the extent required by applicable law, the merger shall be approved by the shareholders of both corporations and this Acquisition Agreement shall be incorporated by reference into any Plan of Exchange between the companies. MMTC will file Articles of Merger or similar Articles effecting the merger under California law.
1.4
Reincorporation to Nevada. As part of the closing, MMTC shall also cause a reincorporation of MMTC to Nevada and an increase of its authorized capital to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001. MMTC shall, by its cost, make appropriate disclosures as to the reincorporation and increase in authorized capital to be included in the 14C and other filings as required.
1.5
Spin out of MMTC Operations. Prior to closing MMTC shall take all corporate action required to effect a spin out of its Nevada subsidiary of the same name. The actual spin out shall take place as soon after closing as practical. MMTC shall cause securities to be distributed to its shareholders of record as of a record date immediately preceding the date of closing. The distribution of new securities in the spin out company shall be on a share for share basis with the holdings of MMTC on the record date. The spin out shall conform to the requirements of California corporations law and the federal securities laws. MMTC shall warrant to Zhongke that the spin out shall not trigger rights of dissent or appraisal or other shareholder rights, except to the extent that such are liquidated and resolved by MMTC prior to closing.
1.6
Lockup-Leakout Agreement. Certain of the officers, directors and affiliates of MMTC shall execute at closing lockup-leakout agreements (“lockup”) in a form suitable to counsel for Zhongke. Under the terms of the lockup, these officers, directors and affiliates shall agree that no restrictive legends shall be removed nor shall any sales of restricted shares be completed, whether in compliance with Rule 144 or otherwise, for a 180 day period following closing. Thereafter, for four consecutive quarters after that date, a non -cumulative aggregate of 30,000 shares may be released for resale under Rule 144 within any quarter.
1.7
Exemption from Registration. The parties hereto intend that the MMTC Shares to be issued to the Zhongke Shareholders shall be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The parties believe these transactions are private placements within the meaning of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act. Each of these entities separately, and through their intermediaries, had a pre-existing relationship that had existed for at least 30 days. MMTC will rely upon the exemptions from registration provided by Regulation S, Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act, and on comparable exemptions under the China Corporation Act and the China Securities Act and other state and foreign laws. It is understood that these exemptions are available because the issuances will be made to a de minimus number of sophisticated persons, in transactions not involving a public offering.
1.8
Change of Board Control. At closing, the current Board of Directors shall tender resignations effective on Closing. Immediately prior to resigning, the Board shall hold a meeting in compliance with the notice or waiver of notice requirements of MMTC and shall then adopt resolutions fixing the size of its Board of Directors at not less than three nor more than nine directors, and shall elect a new Board of Directors which shall be appointed by Zhongke and included in a shareholder vote and upon filing a Schedule 14F-1 in compliance with Rule 14F of the Securities Exchange Act:
