INTRODUCTORY NOTE

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Cartesian, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on March 27, 2018 (the “Prior Report”), the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Cartesian Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Cartesian Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub conducted a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Company common stock, par value $0.005 per share (the “Common Stock”), for $0.40 per share, net to the seller in cash, subject to withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 10, 2018, and the related Letter of Transmittal (collectively, the “Offer”). The Merger Agreement also provides that, among other things, following completion of the Offer, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

The offering period (the “Offering Period”) of the Offer and the withdrawal rights expired at one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 11, 2018 at which time, based on the information provided to Parent by Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the depositary for the Offer (the “Depositary”), approximately 7,201,698 shares of Company Common Stock were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offering Period. All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied (or waived), Merger Sub accepted all validly tendered and not properly withdrawn shares of Company Common Stock for payment. The shares of Company Common Stock that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn represented approximately 76.7% percent of the Company’s outstanding shares. Parent and Merger Sub provided the Depositary with sufficient funds to purchase all shares of Company Common Stock that were validly tendered in the Offer and not properly withdrawn.

Because less than 90% of the Company’s outstanding shares were purchased in the Offer, the Company called a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to approve the Merger Agreement, which Special Meeting was held on June 28, 2018 and which voting results are set forth in Item 5.07 herein. As holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares voted to approve the Merger Agreement and the other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement were satisfied or waived, the Merger was completed on June 28, 2018.

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Prior Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As described in the Introductory Note above, on May 12, 2018, Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment all Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer on or prior to the expiration of the Offering Period. On June 28, 2018, the stockholders of the Company approved the Merger and the Merger was completed. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

In connection with the consummation of the Offer and Merger, and subject to payments in respect of dissenting shares, the aggregate consideration paid by Parent for all equity securities of the Company is approximately $3,834,827.60, without giving effect to related transaction fees and expenses. The purchase price was funded by Parent’s cash on hand.

The information contained in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

Item 3.03
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

The information contained in the Introductory Note and Items 2.01, 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

Item 5.01.
Changes in Control of Registrant.

As a result of the Offer and the Merger, a change in control of the Company occurred. At the Effective Time, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The information contained in the Introductory Note and Items 2.01, 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, Item 5.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K previously filed with the SEC by the Company on May 17, 2018, and Item 5.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K previously filed with the SEC by the Company on May 15, 2018, are each hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.
 

Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

At the Effective Time and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Donald Tringali ceased to be a director of the Company (including any committee of the board of directors of the Company), Ryan Scott resigned as a director of the Company and Kevin Kuby, David Hartman and Jack Myers remained as directors of the Company (including any committee of the board of directors of the Company). At such time, Jim Serafin became a director of the Company.

Also at the Effective Time, Jim Serafin remained an officer of the Company and each of Kevin Kuby and David Hartman became officers of the Company.

Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as of the Effective Time, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws were amended and restated in their entirety. A copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws are included as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.07
Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On June 28, 2018, the Company held the Special Meeting to consider certain proposals related to the Merger Agreement, which provides, among things, for the Merger.

As of May 25, 2018, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 9,447,069 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote for each proposal at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, a total of 7,455,645 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 78.92% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.

Proposals to be voted upon at the Special Meeting included the following:

   (1)
Approve an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 21, 2018, among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger Proposal”); and
 (2)
Approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to correct insufficiencies in the procedure approving the Merger Agreement at the time of the Special Meeting (the ‘‘Adjournment Proposal’’).

The final voting results for the Merger Proposal are described below.

ARTICLE I
Shareholders

Section 1.1.      Annual Meetings.  An annual meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation will be held for the election of directors on such date, and at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate within five months after the end of the fiscal year of the Corporation.  Any other proper business may be transacted at an annual meeting.  If the annual meeting is not held on or before the date designated, it may be held as soon thereafter as convenient and will be called the annual meeting.

Section 1.2.      Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, may be called by the President or the Board of Directors.  The President will call a special meeting of the shareholders at the request of the holders of not less than ten percent (10%) of all the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 1.3.      Notice of Meetings.  Whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting will be given that states the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose(s) for which the meeting is called.  Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, the written notice of any meeting will be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting.  If mailed, such notice will be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the shareholder at his or her address as it appears in the records of the Corporation.

Section 1.4.     Waiver of Notice.  A shareholder may waive notice of any meeting; provided that a shareholder’s attendance at a meeting will constitute waiver of notice of such meeting, except when a shareholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business to be transacted at the meeting, and not for the purpose of objecting to the purpose of the meeting.

Section 1.5.      Adjournments.  Any meeting of shareholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.  If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
 

Section 1.6.      Record Date.

(a)        Determination of Record Date.  For purposes of determining the number and identity of shareholders for any purpose, the Board of Directors may fix a date in advance as the record date for any such determination of shareholders, provided that the record date may not precede the date of the resolution fixing the record date.  The record date may not be more than sixty days or less than ten days prior to the date that the particular action requiring the determination of shareholders is to occur or prior to a meeting of shareholders.  The record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose will be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.  A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of shareholders will apply to any adjournment of the meeting, provided that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

(b)        Failure to Fix Record Date.  If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice or to vote, or to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which the notice is mailed or the Board of Directors resolution declaring the dividend is adopted, as the case may be, will be the record date for such determination of shareholders.

Section 1.7.      List of Shareholders Entitled to Vote.  At least ten days before each meeting of shareholders, the officer or agent charged with overseeing the stock transfer books of the Corporation will compile a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each.  Such list will be kept on file at the Corporation’s principal office for the ten days before the meeting and will be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during that ten-day period during normal business hours for any purpose related to the meeting and during the meeting.

Section 1.8.      Quorum.  Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders.  If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.  If a quorum is present or represented at such adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.  The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
 
- 2 -

Section 1.9.      Voting.

(a)        One Vote Per Share.  Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, each outstanding share entitled to vote will be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders.

(b)        Required Vote.  Unless the Certificate of Incorporation or General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware imposes a super-majority requirement with respect to a particular matter brought before the shareholders, a majority vote of those shares present and voting at a duly organized meeting will suffice to defeat or enact any proposal; provided that with respect to votes to elect directors, a plurality of the votes cast will be sufficient to elect.

(c)        Shares Held by Other than the Record Owner.  Except to the extent required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Corporation will not be obligated to recognize the ownership of shares by any other party other than the record holder thereof.

Section 1.10.    Proxies.

(a)        General.  At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy.  Proxies must be written, signed by the shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact, and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of a meeting where a proxy is granted.  No proxy is valid after three years from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy or coupled by an interest.

(b)        Irrevocable Proxies.  A proxy may be irrevocable in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.

(c)        Revocation of a Proxy.  A shareholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by delivering a proxy in accordance with applicable law bearing a later date to the Secretary of the Corporation.

Section 1.11.    Action in Lieu of a Meeting.  Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken, will be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and will be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation for inclusion in the  minutes or filing with the corporate records.  The Secretary of the Corporation will promptly deliver notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those shareholders who have not consented in writing.

Section 2.2.      Number; Qualifications.  The Board of Directors will consist of not less than one (1) member and not more than nine (9) members, with the exact number to be fixed and determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.  Directors need not be shareholders nor residents of the State of Delaware.

Section 2.3.      Election; Resignation; Vacancies.

(a)        Initial Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors will initially consist of the persons named as directors by the incorporator, and each director so elected will hold office until a meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

(b)        Election.  Directors will be elected by the shareholders of the Corporation.  Directors will serve for a term of one (1) year or until their successors are elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal as provided in these Bylaws or under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.  If there is only one nominee for any directorship, it will be in order to move that the Secretary cast the elective ballot to elect the nominee.

(c)        Resignation.  A director may resign at any time on written notice to the Board of Directors, the President or the Secretary.  Any such resignation will take effect at the time specified therein, or if an effective time is not specified, upon receipt thereof.  Unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of any resignation will not be necessary to make it effective.

(d)        Vacancies.  Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, whether by reason of death, resignation, removal or an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of the majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by election at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders called for that purpose.  A director elected to fill a vacancy will be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office.

Section 2.4.      Regular Meetings.  A regular meeting of the Board of Directors for the election of officers and the transaction of any other business that may properly come before the meeting will be held immediately after, and at the same place as, each annual meeting of shareholders, if a quorum of directors is then present or as soon thereafter as may be convenient.  Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at such places within or without the State of Delaware and at such times as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.  The Board of Directors may provide, by resolution, the day, time and place for the holding of regular meetings without other notice than such resolution.
 
- 4 -

Section 2.5.      Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by or at the request of the President or any director.  The person(s) authorized to call special meetings of the Board of Directors may fix any place, within or without the State of Delaware, to hold a special meeting of the Board of Directors.  Notice of a special meeting must be given to each director by the person(s) calling the meeting at least two days before the meeting.

Section 2.6.      Notices; Waiver of Notice.  Notices of any meeting of the Board of Directors may be given by mail, express delivery, fax, e-mail or other means of transmission.  A director may waive notice of any meeting.  A director’s attendance at a meeting will constitute waiver of notice of such meeting unless such attendance is only for the purpose of objecting to the calling of the meeting.

Section 2.7.      Telephonic Meetings Permitted.  Members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting thereof by means of telephone conference, or similar communications equipment that permits all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Bylaw will constitute presence at such meeting.

Section 2.8.      Quorum; Vote Required for Action.  At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the whole Board of Directors will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.  Unless otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be the act of the Board of Directors.  If less than a majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.  Once a quorum has been established at a duly organized meeting, the Board of Directors may continue to transact corporate business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough members to leave less than a quorum.

Section 2.9.      Payment of Expenses.  By resolution of the Board of Directors, directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors.  By resolution of the Board of Directors, directors also may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director.  Such payment will not preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

Section 2.10.    Dissent to Corporate Action.  A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors at which action on any corporate action is taken will be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless he or she (i) enters his or her dissent in the minutes of the meeting, (ii) files written dissent to such action with the Secretary of the meeting before adjournment, or (iii) expresses such dissent by written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation within one (1) day after the adjournment of the meeting.  The right to dissent does not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.
 
- 5 -

Section 2.11.    Action by Written Consent.  Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors sign a written consent with respect to such action.  Such consent will be filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE III
Committees

Section 3.1.     Committees.  The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each to consist of one or more of the directors.  The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.  In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in place of any such absent or disqualified member.  Any such committee, to the extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, will have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the Management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it.

Section 3.2.      Committee Rules.  Unless the Board of Directors otherwise provides, each committee designated by the Board of Directors may make, alter and repeal rules for the conduct of its business.  In the absence of such rules, each committee will conduct its business in the same manner as the Board of Directors conducts its business pursuant to Article II of these Bylaws.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 6.1.      Directors and Officers.

(a)        Right to Indemnification; Insurance.  Any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation (or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity) will be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation (an “Indemnitee”) to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Delaware against all judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid in settlement and costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by him or her in connection therewith, subject to the standards of conduct, the procedures and other applicable provisions set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.  Such right of indemnification is a contract right which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person.  The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an Indemnitee against any liability arising out of such status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person.

(b)        Inurement.  The right to indemnification will inure whether or not the claim asserted is based on matters that predate the adoption of this Article VI, will continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to hold the position by virtue of which he or she was entitled to indemnification, and will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs and personal representatives.

(c)        Non-exclusivity of Rights.  The right to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 6.1 are not exclusive of any other rights that an Indemnitee may have or acquire under any statute, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or otherwise.

(d)        Advancement of Expenses.  The Corporation will, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any Indemnitee the funds necessary for payment of expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in the connection with defending any proceeding for which he or she is indemnified by the Corporation, in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding; provided that, if then required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the expenses incurred by or on behalf of an Indemnitee may be paid in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding only upon receipt by the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay any such amount so advanced if it is ultimately determined by a final and unappealable judicial decision that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses.

Section 6.2.      Employees and Agents.  The Board of Directors may, on behalf of the Corporation, grant indemnification to any employee, agent or other individual to such extent and in such manner as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may from time to time and at any time determine, in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
