Merger Agreement set forth in this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the transaction document.

 

Prior to the closing date of the Merger on May 30, 2007, the Reporting Person owned 2,464,399 shares of common stock of Old Reis, par value $0.01 per share (“Old Reis Common Stock”) and 33 shares of Series D preferred stock of Old Reis, par value $0.01 per share (“Old Reis Series D Preferred Stock”). At the effective time of the Merger, holders of Old Reis Common Stock and holders of Old Reis Series D Preferred Stock were entitled to receive as consideration a combination of shares of Company Common Stock and cash, as determined by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Additionally, upon consummation of the Merger, the Reporting Person became President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Merger Sub.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Reporting Person received 1,182,033 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Shares”), valued at $8.16 per share, and approximately $10,472,470 in cash as Merger consideration for the Reporting Person’s Old Reis Common Stock and Old Reis Series D Preferred Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Reporting Person’s employment agreements, he received 100,000 restricted stock units, with each unit representing the contingent right to receive one share of Company Common Stock, which vest in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the original May 30, 2007 grant date, subject to the attainment of certain performance targets (such restricted stock units are not deemed beneficially owned as of the date hereof).

 

Pursuant to a Letter Agreement, dated October 11, 2006, by and among the Company, Merger Sub, Old Reis, the Reporting Person and Jonathan Garfield (the “Letter Agreement”), immediately after the consummation of the Merger, the Reporting Person paid off the balance of a loan issued to him by Old Reis with 109,181 of his Shares and $7.04 in immediately available funds. A copy of the Letter Agreement is filed as Exhibit 4 to this Schedule 13D, and the description of the Letter Agreement set forth in this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the transaction document.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, Jonathan Garfield and the Reporting Person entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with the Company, dated as of May 30, 2007 (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which each agreed for a period of nine months (the “Lock-Up Period”) beginning at the effective time of the Merger, among other things, not to sell (with certain limited exceptions and subject to certain conditions), any shares of Company Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Company. The Lock-Up Agreement also provides that Jonathan Garfield and the Reporting Person may not exercise, during the Lock-Up Period, their registration rights (as more fully described below) with respect to any Company Common Stock. After the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, Jonathan Garfield and the Reporting Person will be subject to other restrictions on resale in compliance with securities laws.

As an inducement to Jonathan Garfield and the Reporting Person to enter into the Lock-Up Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 30, 2007 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will grant to each of them rights, under certain circumstances and subject to various conditions, to (i) demand that the Company prepare a shelf registration statement or other registration statement covering the shares of Company Common Stock that each received in the Merger and (ii) have the shares of Company Common Stock that each received in the Merger included in certain registration statements prepared and filed by the Company for its own account or the account of third parties. Jonathan Garfield and the Reporting Person may not exercise the rights described in clause (i) until the third anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Rights Agreement.
