Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Merger Agreement
On September 15, 2005, Imagistics International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), Océ N.V., a company organized under the laws of the Netherlands (Parent), and Orange Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (Purchaser), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). A copy of the press release issued by the Company on September 16, 2005 announcing the transaction is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated into this report by reference.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser has agreed to make a tender offer (the Offer) to purchase all outstanding shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock), and the associated Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchase rights (the Rights; such Rights, together with the Common Stock, are the Shares) issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement dated as of September 28, 2001 (as amended, the Rights Agreement) between the Company and Equiserve Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (the Rights Agent), for $42.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash (such amount, or any greater amount per Share paid in the Offer, the Offer Price). The tender offer will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an Offer to Purchase and a related Letter of Transmittal that will be distributed to the Companys stockholders by Purchaser and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, as soon as practicable after the consummation of the Offer, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the Delaware Law), Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company (the Merger), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the Surviving Corporation). At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each outstanding Share (other than Shares held by the Company in treasury, by any of the Companys subsidiaries, or by Parent, Purchaser or any of their wholly owned subsidiaries and Shares with respect to which appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware Law are properly exercised) will be converted into the right to receive cash in the amount of the Offer Price, without interest.
The Merger Agreement provides that, upon consummation of the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase Common Stock, whether or not vested or fully exercisable, granted on or prior to the date of the Merger Agreement or after such date in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the Options), shall be canceled. In consideration of the cancellation, the Company will pay to each holder of an Option an amount in respect thereof equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the exercise price thereof and (ii) the number of Shares subject thereto (this payment to be net of applicable withholding taxes).
If the Purchaser succeeds in purchasing 90 percent or more of the outstanding Shares in the Offer or pursuant to the Top-Up Option described below, the Merger will not require a vote of the Companys remaining stockholders and will be effected as promptly as practicable following completion of the Offer. If the Purchaser purchases a majority but less than 90 percent of the outstanding Shares in the Offer, the Company will be required to obtain a stockholder vote prior to effecting the Merger. Although Purchaser would hold enough Shares to assure the success of such vote, this would require the Company to hold a stockholder meeting and to prepare, clear with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and distribute to stockholders, a proxy statement. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company has granted to Purchaser an option (the Top-Up Option), exercisable following the purchase of at least 80 percent of the outstanding Shares by Purchaser in the Offer, to purchase at the Offer Price that number of shares of Common Stock that, when combined with the shares otherwise owned by Purchaser, Parent and Parents subsidiaries immediately following consummation of the Offer, represents 90 percent of all shares of Common Stock then outstanding (assuming the issuance of shares pursuant to the Top-Up Option).
The Company, Parent and Purchaser have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company in the Merger Agreement are qualified including by information in disclosure schedules that the Company delivered to Parent and Purchaser in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. Representations and warranties may be used as a tool to
allocate risks between the parties to the Merger Agreement, including where the parties do not have complete knowledge of all facts. Investors are not third party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its affiliates.
Consummation of the Offer is conditioned on a number of Shares constituting at least a majority of the then outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis having been validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer, as well as to certain other customary conditions, including (i) there having been no event causing a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on the Company nor any development reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, (ii) the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, (iii) the absence of certain actions and proceedings by governmental entities with respect to the transactions and (iv) the Merger Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Parent, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $28,000,000.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto, and is incorporated into this report by reference.
Stockholder Tender and Voting Agreement
Concurrently with entering into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Purchaser entered into a Stockholder Tender and Voting Agreement dated September 15, 2005 (the Tender Agreement) with Marc C. Breslawsky, Joseph D. Skrzypczak, Christine B. Allen, Mark S. Flynn and Nathaniel M. Gifford, who are officers of the Company (collectively, the Supporting Stockholders). Pursuant to the Tender Agreement, which applies to less than 1% in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding Shares, each Supporting Stockholder has agreed, among other things, to tender in the Offer the Shares owned and controlled by such Supporting Stockholder, vote such Shares in favor of the Merger if they have not been accepted for payment and paid for in the Offer, and grant a proxy to Purchaser and each officer of Parent to vote such Shares in certain circumstances. The Tender Agreement terminates automatically upon termination of the Merger Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Tender Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Tender Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.3 hereto, and is incorporated into this report by reference.
Rights Agreement
The Company and the Rights Agent entered into a Second Amendment Agreement, dated as of September 15, 2005 (the Rights Agreement Amendment), which amends the Rights Agreement to provide that (i) none of the Merger or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, including, the Offer, the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Top-Up Option or the public announcement of any of the foregoing, will cause the Rights to become exercisable by, or otherwise trigger any rights of, the holders thereof and (ii) the Rights shall automatically terminate on and as of the Effective Time.
The
foregoing description of the Rights Agreement Amendment does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights
Agreement Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and is incorporated
into this report by reference.
