Each outstanding right to acquire Company Stock, such as a warrant or an employee stock option, which is fully accrued, matured and without condition precedent (a conversion right in a convertible financial instrument is not defined herein to include such a “right to acquire”), immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a right to acquire Holdco Stock on the same terms and conditions as the right to acquire Company Stock being converted in the Merger, to the exclusion of any rights or obligations that may be associated with a convertible financial instrument, which such rights shall remain, intact, with respect to the Surviving Entity, and the Surviving Entity shall remain obligated in all respects thereto, including with regard to rights of conversion with respect thereto.

This process of conversion and transformation shall occur without the necessity of exchanging or surrendering any such certificates. Instead, such certificates issued by the Company, shall thereafter constitute certificates of Holdco as though the certificate issued by the Company was surrendered and replaced by a certificate issued by Holdco. The registered owner on the books and records of the Company or its transfer agent of any outstanding stock certificate, shall hereafter be deemed to be, instead, the registered owner of such certificate of Holdco and shall be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to the applicable shares of Holdco Stock into which the shares of the Company Stock have hereby been converted as provided in this Agreement.

J.

The Company desires to create a new holding company structure in accordance with Section 7-111-104 of the CBCA by merging Merger Sub with and into the Company with Merger Sub being the surviving corporation, and converting each outstanding share of Company Common Stock into a like number of shares of Holdco Common Stock, all in accordance with the terms of this and that certain Plan of Reorganization.

 

 

K.

The Boards of Directors of Merger Sub and the Company have approved this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Merger”). No vote or solicitation of votes is required by the Company, Merger Sub, or Holdco, as permitted by applicable provisions and Section 7-111-104(3) of the CBCA, however, certain shareholders acting by written consent approved the Merger and the concomitant Plan of Reorganization.

 

 

L.

For U. S. Federal income tax purposes, the Merger and concomitant Plan of Reorganization are operative and shall, in every respect, qualify as and is intended to be a reorganization under the applicable provisions of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

 

 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Participating Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.

1.1.

The Merger. In accordance with Section 7-111-104 of the CBCA and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub, at the Effective Time (which term is hereinafter defined), shall be merged with and into the Company; the separate corporate existence of the Company shall cease; and Merger Sub shall continue as the surviving corporation. Merger Sub, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Entity”. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall become effective as provided in Section 7-111-101, et seq., of the CBCA. Following the Merger, the surviving entity will be the wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco. As provided for in the Plan of Reorganization, each outstanding share of what was previously the Company Common Stock, shall instead become, and thereafter constitute, an outstanding share of Holdco Common Stock.

 

 

1.2.

Effective Time. For book-entry and accounting purposes, the Merger shall become effective at 12:01 a.m. Mountain Time on March 23, 2020 (hereinafter the “Effective Time”).

 

 

1.3.

Articles of Incorporation. From and after the Effective Time, the provisions set forth in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company that apply to the rights, preferences, and designations of the holders of Company Common Stock, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the provisions set forth in the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Entity until thereafter amended or as otherwise provided by law.

1.4.

Powers. The business and affairs of the Surviving Entity shall be managed by, or conducted under the direction of, a board of directors, which shall exercise all the powers of the Surviving Entity except as are by law or by the Articles of Incorporation and/or the Bylaws of the Surviving Entity conferred upon or reserved to the stockholders of the Surviving Entity.

 

 

1.5.

Bylaws. From and after the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall thereafter continue in full force and effect as the Bylaws of the Surviving Entity until thereafter amended or repealed as provided therein.

1.8.

Additional Actions. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Parties hereto shall take all such reasonable and lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the Merger. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances, or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect, or confirm, of record, or otherwise, in the Surviving Entity’s right, title, or interest in, to, or under any of the rights, properties, or assets of either of Merger Sub or the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Entity, as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger, or otherwise, to carry out this Agreement, then, and in such case, the officers and directors of the Surviving Entity shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of each or either of Merger Sub and/or the Company, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each or either of Merger Sub and/or the Company, or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect, or confirm any and all right, title, and interest in, to, and under such rights, properties, or assets in the Surviving Entity, or otherwise, to carry out the intended purpose of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE II

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN

CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER.

 

Section 2.1 Post-Effective Amendments. It is the intent of the parties that Holdco, as of the Effective Time, be deemed a “successor issuer” for purposes of continuing offerings, if any, of Alaric Corporation/Merger Sub under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As soon as practicable following the Merger, Halberd Corporation/Holdco will file post-effective amendments to Alaric Corporation/Merger Sub’s currently effective registration statements, if any, adopting such statements as its own registration statements for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and setting forth any additional information necessary to reflect any material changes made in connection with, or resulting from, the succession or necessary to keep the registration statements from being misleading.
