Item 3. |
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
|
|
As an inducement for Square D to enter into the Merger Agreement described in Item 4 below and in consideration thereof, Fremont Investors I, L.L.C., Fremont Investors I CS, L.L.C. and Fremont Partners, L.L.C. (collectively, the “Stockholders”) entered into a Voting Agreement (discussed in Item 4 below) with Square D.

Item 4. |
Purpose of Transaction |
|
|
On June 29, 2005, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Square D and Hera Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Square D (“Merger Sub”) and, solely for the purposes of Article IV and Section 9.12 therein, Schneider Electric SA. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth therein (including, among other things, adoption and approval of the Merger (as defined below) by the stockholders of the Company and receipt of applicable regulatory approvals), Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Square D (the “Surviving Corporation”). At the effective time of the Merger, (i) each share of Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive $44.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), and subject to applicable withholding tax, and (ii) each share of preferred |
4
stock of the Company will be converted into the right to receive the product of the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which such share of preferred stock is convertible (determined as of immediately prior to the effective time) in cash, without interest, and subject to any applicable withholding tax. The Merger Agreement also requires the Company to pay all accrued preferred stock dividends immediately before the Merger. A copy of the Merger Agreement is included as Exhibit 1 hereto and the description of the Merger Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, in order to induce Square D to enter into the Merger Agreement, Square D and the Stockholders entered into a Stockholders Voting Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2005 (the “Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Stockholders have agreed, among other things, to vote all the shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock owned by them (the “Owned Shares”) (i) in favor of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) in favor of any other actions presented to holders of securities of the Company that are necessary or desirable in furtherance of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated thereby, (iii) against any merger agreement or merger (other than the Merger Agreement and the Merger), consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by the Company or any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (iv) against any amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or other proposal or transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Merger Agreement, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each of the Stockholders has appointed Square D and any designee of Square D, and each of them individually, as such Stockholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact pursuant to the provisions of Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote and act on such Stockholder’s behalf and in such Stockholder’s name, place and stead with respect to such Stockholder’s Owned Shares, at any annual, special or other meeting of the Company’s stockholders with respect to any of the foregoing and to act by written consent with respect to the matters referred to above; provided, that Square D may not act by written consent to approve the Merger Agreement, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The Stockholders have also agreed not to (except as contemplated by the Voting Agreement) (i) directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposition of, any of the Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) take any action that would prohibit, prevent or preclude such Stockholder from performing its obligations under the Voting Agreement, including, without limitation, the granting of a power of attorney with respect to the Owned Shares, depositing the Owned Shares in a voting trust or entering into any other stockholder voting agreements with respect to the Owned Shares, other than to (x) convert any shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock and (y) enter into hedging transactions to the extent that such transactions would not be inconsistent with its obligations described above.
Each Stockholder also agreed not to (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the making of an Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) other than informing persons of the existence of the provisions contained in the Voting Agreement, participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish or disclose to any person (other than a party to the Merger Agreement) any non-public information in connection with any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) approve, recommend, agree to or accept, or propose publicly to approve, recommend, agree to or accept, any Acquisition Proposal. The name of each Stockholder and the number of Owned Shares held by such Stockholder and subject to the Voting Agreement as of June 29, 2005 are set forth on Schedule I to the Voting Agreement.
The Voting Agreement and each of the obligations described above terminates upon the earlier to occur of (a) the consummation of the Merger and (b) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. A copy of the Voting Agreement is included as Exhibit 2 hereto and the description of the Voting Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 2, which is incorporated herein by reference. |
5
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger: (i) the directors of Merger Sub will be the directors of the Surviving Corporation; (ii) the management of the Company will be the management of the Surviving Corporation; and (iii) the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Merger Sub will become the Certificate and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, except that the name of Merger Sub will be amended to be the name of the Company.
As a result of the Merger, the Common Stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and will become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act. |
|
|
|
Item 5. |
Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
|
|
(a)-(b) As a result of the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Parties may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 6,552,709 shares of Common Stock (the “Subject Shares”), representing: (i) 597,866 shares of Common Stock owned by the Stockholders and subject to the Voting Agreement; and (ii) 5,954,843 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 of the Company, owned by the Stockholders and subject to the Voting Agreement. The Subject Shares constitute approximately 74.5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of June 29, 2005, based upon the representations of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement. The Reporting Parties disclaim ownership of the Subject Shares.
(c) Except as described in this statement, there have been no transactions effected by the Reporting Parties or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Parties, any person named in Schedule A hereto, in the Company’s Common Stock during the past 60 days.
