Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 19, 2010, United American Healthcare Corporation (the Company) and St. George
Investments, LLC (St. George) entered into a Voting and Standstill Agreement (the Standstill
Agreement). Affiliates of St. George, John M. Fife and Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., who own
of record 1,882,583 shares of common stock of the Company (or 23.13%), have assigned their
beneficial ownership in such shares to St. George.
St. George has agreed to withdraw its own slate of candidates for the Companys Board of
Directors and to vote in favor of the candidates nominated by the Companys Board of Directors at
the Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on April 23, 2010.
In the Standstill Agreement, St. George agreed for a minimum period of 18 months to customary
standstill provisions, which include, among other things, not, directly or indirectly, unless
specifically requested by the Company or by a resolution of a majority of the directors:
|
|
|
participating in any manner in a business combination or any other
transaction involving any material portion of the Companys business or the
assets; |
|
|
|
|
participating in a solicitation of proxies; |
|
|
|
|
proposing any matter for submission to a vote of the shareholders of the
Company or call or seek to call a meeting of the shareholders of the Company; |
|
|
|
|
seeking to elect a director or remove a director; |
|
|
|
|
granting any proxy with respect to any shares of common stock (other than to
the Secretary of the Company); |
|
|
|
|
executing any written consent with respect to any shares of common stock; |
|
|
|
|
forming, joining or participating in a Group with respect to any shares of
common stock; |
|
|
|
|
taking any other action to seek to affect the control of the management or
board of directors of the Company; |
|
|
|
|
entering into any discussions, negotiations, arrangements or understandings
with any person with respect to any of the foregoing; or |
|
|
|
|
otherwise communicating with the Companys shareholders. |
(collectively, the Standstill Obligations).
St. George has agreed to vote all shares it currently beneficially owns or thereafter may
acquire (collectively Shares) as recommended by a majority of the Companys board of directors
and has granted an irrevocable proxy to effectuate the voting agreement (the Voting Agreement).
St. George has agreed not to acquire beneficial ownership of shares of common stock that would
represent more than 35% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (excluding shares
acquired upon conversion of any preferred stock issued to St. George pursuant to the Capital Call
(as defined below)).
2
The Standstill Obligations and the Voting Agreement continue until March 31, 2012, unless
earlier terminated if the Put (as defined below) is exercised or if there is an event of default
(as defined in the Standstill Agreement).
The Company has the right to purchase the Shares (the Call) and St. George has the right to
require the Company to purchase the Shares (the Put). The Put price is the Market Price as
defined in the Standstill Agreement to be the volume weighted average of the closing prices of the
common stock during the 30 calendar days prior to March 16, 2010. The Call price will have a 10%
discount to the Put price if the Call is exercised on or prior to June 30, 2011. If the Call
occurs between July 1, 2011 and September 30, 2011, the Call price is the same as the Put price.
The Call expires upon the earliest of September 30, 2011 and a Triggering Event which is defined
to mean the Companys execution of a letter of intent for a business combination, the Companys
execution of definitive documents for a business combinations and the Companys public announcement
of a business combination. A business combination would include an acquisition of the Company or
by the Company. The Put can be exercised beginning on October 1, 2011; however, the Put date can
be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default, as defined in the Standstill
Agreement. The Company has agreed to maintain certain reserves of its unrestricted cash, initially
equal to 20% of its shareholders equity as of the 2010 fiscal year end and, as additional
restricted cash becomes available, additional amounts which in the aggregate equal the Put price.
The Company is required to register the Shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission not
later than June 30, 2011. If, following the effective date of such registration, the trading price
of the Shares exceeds $2.21 over the period of time specified in the Standstill Agreement, the Put
is eliminated.
St. George can transfer the Shares in private transactions (subject to the continued effect of
the Standstill Agreement, including the Standstill Obligations, Voting Agreement, Put/Call and
other provisions) and in open market transactions. Following the date that the Put is eliminated
because of the increase in the trading price of the Shares after registration, St. George must
nevertheless maintain beneficial ownership of at least 1,882,583 shares of common stock until March
31, 2012.
St. George has granted to the Company the right, commencing May 1, 2010, to require St. George
to invest $600,000 in the Company (the Capital Call). The Capital Call expires upon the earlier
of July 1, 2011 and the Companys filing of a registration statement for St. Georges shares. If
the Capital Call is exercised, St. George would be issued that number of shares of a newly
designated series of non-voting convertible preferred stock (the Preferred Stock) based on the
dollar volume weighted average closing price of the Companys common stock for the 30 calendar days
prior to the date of the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock, however, if there is a
Triggering Event, the calculation would be based on the 30 calendar pays prior to the Triggering
Event. The Preferred Stock would be convertible at any time at the option of St. George into
shares of the Companys common stock at a ratio of 1:1, with such conversion ratio subject to
adjustment in the event of certain stock splits or dividends or in the event of a business
combination or similar transaction. The Preferred Stock would have a 3% per annum dividend which,
at the option of the Company, would be payable in cash or in additional shares of Preferred Stock.
The common shares acquired upon conversion of the Preferred Stock is subject to the Companys Call
right, and the holder of the Preferred Stock has a Put right, on the same terms and conditions as
are applicable to the shares of common stock beneficially owned by St. George. In no event would
the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued to St. George upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock exceed 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock prior to such issuance, unless
the Company obtains shareholder approval if required by the Nasdaq Rules. The terms of the
Preferred Stock are set forth in the Certificate of Designation which is an exhibit to the
Standstill Agreement. The Certificate of Designation would be filed by the Company concurrently
with exercise of the Capital Call.
3
St. George is also given the right to have an observer to the board of directors and its
committee meetings.
Upon request, St. George will assist the Company in identifying merger and acquisition
opportunities without requiring any finders or similar fees. St. George invests in publicly traded
companies for the proprietary account of Mr. John M. Fife. Mr. Fife is a resident of Chicago,
Illinois, a U.S. citizen, and a professional investor. Mr. Fife is the sole member of St. George.
Fife Trading, Inc., an Illinois corporation, is the manager of St. George. Mr. Fife owns and
controls Fife Trading, Inc. Mr. Fife and his affiliates have significant experience with mergers
and acquisitions and equity and debt investments in public and private companies.
The summary in this Item 1.01 of the material terms of the Standstill Agreement is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Standstill Agreement, a copy of which is filed
as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
