This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1) of Ophthalmic Imaging Systems (the “Company” or “OIS”) amends and the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2008. In the Original Form 8-K, the Company reported that it entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with MediVision Medical Imaging Limited, its parent company (“MediVision”), whereby, upon approval of the shareholders of the Company and MediVision, the Company, through MV Acquisitions Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary, would merge with and into MediVision, with MediVision as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). At the time the Company and MediVision negotiated the Agreement and Plan of Merger, and the other agreements in connection therewith (i.e., Registration Rights Agreement, Voting Agreement, Right to First Refusal Agreement, and Lock-up Agreement) (the “Merger Documents”), a Stockholders Agreement by and between Agfa-Gevaert N.V., Delta Trade & Services (1986) Ltd., Noam Allon, Gil Allon, Shlomo Allon, Ariel Shenhar, and Yuval Shenhar, was also drafted but was not signed at the time the Merger Documents were signed. The material terms of this Stockholders Agreement was not disclosed in the Original Form 8-K and thus, a description of the Stockholders Agreement under “Item 8.01. Other Events,” is being added in this Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1).

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Stockholders Agreement

 

In connection with the proposed merger, between the Company, through MV Acquisitions Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary, and MediVision, with MediVision as the surviving entity (the “Proposed Merger”), Agfa-Gevaert N.V., Delta Trade & Services (1986) Ltd., Noam Allon, Gil Allon, Shlomo Allon, Ariel Shenhar, and Yuval Shenhar (all shareholders of MediVision) negotiated a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”), pursuant to which, the parties thereof agree to vote all of their OIS Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.2 of the Voting Agreement, which governs the voting of directors onto OIS’ board following the closing of the merger, and in accordance with Agfa’s direction for certain significant transactions (e.g., merger, significant acquisition or disposition of assets, significant issuance of securities, change in principal business, liquidation or dissolution, amendments to the articles of incorporation). Generally, the Stockholders Agreement also restricts the transfer of securities of OIS by the parties, with certain narrow exceptions. In the event of an allowed proposed transfer, where Agfa is not the transferor, Agfa has a right of first refusal. If Agfa is the transferor, a right of first refusal is given to the other parties to the agreement. Under the Stockholders Agreement, the parties also agreed to tag-along rights, whereby a party who proposes to transfer any of OIS’ securities must provide notice of such proposed transfer to the other parties and allow them to participate in such transfer. The agreement also provides that if a party does not fully exercise the preemptive rights granted by OIS under Section 3 of the Right of First Refusal Agreement, the remaining preemptive rights will be assigned to the other parties, upon request. Parties to the agreement other than Agfa must first offer their preemptive rights to Agfa. The parties also agree not to exercise certain registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement and agree to subject any transfer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement to the right of first refusal included in the Stockholders Agreement. The Voting Agreement dated March 25, 2008, by and among OIS and the principal MediVision stockholders named therein (the “Prinicpal MV Stockholders”) makes reference to the Stockholders Agreement, pursuant to which the Principal MV Stockholders agree, subject to certain conditions, to vote in favor of the Proposed Merger. The Stockholders Agreement has not yet been signed, however, the parties may enter into the Stockholders Agreement prior to, or upon approval of the merger by the shareholders of OIS and MediVision.
