Edgewater Technology, Inc. helps the C-suite drive transformational change through its unique selection of business and technology services and channel-based solutions.

Classic consulting disciplines (such as business advisory, process improvement, organizational change management, M&A due diligence, and domain expertise) are blended with technical services (such as digital transformation, technical roadmaps, data and analytics services, custom development and system integration) to help organizations leverage investments in legacy IT assets to create new digital business models.

The Company delivers product based consulting in both the Enterprise Performance Management (“EPM”) and Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) areas both on premise and in the cloud. Within the EPM offering, our Oracle channel, Edgewater Ranzal, provides Business Analytics solutions leveraging Oracle EPM, Business Intelligence (“BI”) and Big Data technologies. Within the ERP offering, our Microsoft channel, Edgewater Fullscope, delivers Dynamics AX ERP, Business Intelligence and CRM solutions primarily in the manufacturing space.

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”), we use the terms “Edgewater,” “Edgewater Technology,” “we,” “our Company,” “the Company,” “our” and “us” to refer to Edgewater Technology, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are described in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2018 (the “2017 Form 10-K”).

On March 15, 2018, Edgewater Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with 9374-8572 Québec Inc., a newly-formed Québec corporation (“CanCo Parent”), Alithya Group Inc., a Québec private corporation (“Alithya”), which now conducts a digital technology and consulting business, and 9374-8572 Delaware Inc., a newly-formed wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of CanCo Parent (“U.S. Merger Sub”). Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, (a) CanCo Parent will acquire Alithya pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the laws of Québec, Canada, and (b) U.S. Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company as the surviving corporation (together, the “Arrangement”). As a result of the Arrangement, both the Company and Alithya will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of CanCo Parent.

The Arrangement Agreement is subject to approval by the respective shareholders of the Company and Alithya. In order to solicit such approval, the Company and Alithya will jointly prepare a management proxy circular and other documents required by applicable laws for the Alithya shareholders and a prospectus/proxy statement for the Company shareholders. That prospectus/proxy statement will be included in a registration statement on Form F-4 (the “CanCo Parent Registration Statement”) to be filed by CanCo Parent with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under which, as described below, CanCo Parent will offer to the shareholders of the Company and Alithya, in exchange for all of their common shares in the Company and Alithya, common shares of CanCo Parent (“CanCo Parent Shares”) and, to those Alithya shareholders which now hold Alithya multiple voting shares, multiple voting shares of CanCo Parent (“CanCo Parent Multiple Voting Shares”). CanCo Parent will also apply to have the CanCo Parent Shares listed, subject to official notice of issuance, for trading on NASDAQ and the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The closing of the Arrangement (the “Closing”) is now expected to occur in the third quarter of 2018. However, the Company cannot predict with certainty when, or if, the Arrangement will close because such closing is subject to conditions beyond the Company’s control.

The Arrangement Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the following will occur on or prior to the effective time of the Arrangement (the “Effective Time”):

(i)

in connection with the Merger, CanCo Parent will issue CanCo Parent Shares to the Company’s shareholders based upon an exchange ratio of 1.3118 CanCo Parent Share for each Company common share, but subject to potential adjustment if the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares on NASDAQ during the 10 consecutive trading days preceding the Closing (the “VWAP”) shall be less than U.S.$5.25;

(ii)

in connection with the acquisition of Alithya, CanCo Parent will issue CanCo Parent Shares to those shareholders of Alithya which now hold Alithya common shares and, to those Alithya shareholders which now hold Alithya multiple voting shares, equivalent CanCo Parent Multiple Voting Shares, based upon an exchange ratio of one CanCo Parent Share or one CanCo Parent Multiple Voting Share for each Alithya common share or Alithya multiple voting share, respectively;

(iii)

CanCo Parent will change its name to Alithya Group, Inc. and its headquarters to the current headquarters of Alithya in Montreal, Québec;

(iv)

CanCo Parent’s board of directors will consist of nine directors, of whom six will be nominated by Alithya’s current board and three by the Company’s current board, and Paul Raymond (Alithya’s current chief executive officer), Claude Rousseau (Alithya’s current chief operating officer), and Claude Thibault (Alithya’s current chief financial officer) will become, respectively, CanCo Parent’s chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer; and in addition to the right of the Company shareholders to receive CanCo Parent Shares, the Company will pay, immediately prior to the Closing, to the Company’s shareholders and option holders a special dividend equal to U.S.$20.5 million (approximately $1.54 per currently outstanding Company share), provided that (i) the total amount of such dividend shall proportionately increase or decrease to the extent, if any, the Company’s “Net Cash” (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) shall then be greater or less than U.S.$8.5 million and (ii) such dividend shall be payable either in cash (for the Company’s shareholders) or an adjustment (for the Company’s option holders) to the exercise price of such options.
