ITEM 4. Purpose of Transactions.

 

(a) and (b) On July 15, 2004, Digitas entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Digitas Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digitas (“MergerCo”) and the Company pursuant to which, MergerCo will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Common Stock of the Company issued and immediately outstanding prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive, at the effective time of the Merger, 0.70 shares of Digitas common stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares). The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, as well as the approval of the stockholders of Digitas and the Company.

 

In connection with the Merger Agreement, Digitas entered into voting agreements (the “Voting Agreements”) with the directors and executive officers of the Company set forth in Schedule II attached hereto (collectively, the “Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each of the Stockholders agreed to vote and has granted to Digitas an irrevocable proxy and power of attorney to vote his or her shares of Common Stock of the Company owned as of July 15, 2004 and acquired thereafter (the “Shares”) (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger and (ii) against (x) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation, or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement such that the conditions to closing set forth in the Merger Agreement would not be satisfied or (y) approval or adoption of any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or any agreement or transaction that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect the consummation of the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

The purpose of the transactions contemplated by the Voting Agreements is to consummate the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement.

 

(c) Not applicable.

 

(d) If the Merger is consummated, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the directors and officers of MergerCo immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will become 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.

 

(e) Other than as a result of the Merger described in Item 4(a) and (b) above, not applicable.

 

(f) Not applicable.

 

(g) If the Merger is consummated, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the certificate of incorporation of MergerCo, as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, will become the certificate of incorporation of


13D

CUSIP NO. 607533106       Page 5 of 9 Pages

 

the surviving corporation, until thereafter amended as provided therein and in accordance with applicable law. If the Merger is consummated, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the bylaws of MergerCo, as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, will become the bylaws of the surviving corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein and in accordance with applicable law.

 

(h) and (i) As a result of the Merger, Digitas expects that the Company will request that its Common Stock be delisted from The Nasdaq National Market and that the Company will file a Form 15 terminating registration of the Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

(j) Except as set forth above or in Item 5, Digitas currently does not have any plans or proposals concerning the Company with respect to the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of this Schedule.

 

References to, and descriptions of, the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements as set forth herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Merger Agreement and the form of voting agreement included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Schedule 13D, and such agreements are incorporated herein in their entirety where such references and descriptions appear.

 

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) and (b) As a result of the Voting Agreements, Digitas may be deemed to have sole power to control the vote of the Shares on the matters related to the Merger. Digitas has no voting power with respect to any other matters. More specifically, pursuant to the Voting Agreements, Digitas has the sole power to vote, and may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 3,738,455 shares of the Common Stock of the Company, representing approximately 12.7% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (including any stock options of the Stockholders which may be exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof).
