Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 17, 2007, HAPC, INC., a Delaware corporation (“HAPC”), entered into a Further Agreement Regarding Project Iceland (the “Agreement”) with Iceland Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), InfuSystem, Inc. (“InfuSystem”) and I-Flow Corporation (“I-Flow”). The Agreement relates to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2006, as amended (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the foregoing parties. The Agreement also references an Acknowledgment and Agreement Regarding Stock Purchase Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of October 8, 2007 (the “Acknowledgment”), by and among HAPC, I-Flow, InfuSystem, Acquisition Sub, Sean McDevitt and Philip B. Harris, which is filed herewith.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, I-Flow consented to the adjournment of the special annual meeting of the stockholders of HAPC (the “Annual Meeting”) from October 19, 2007 to no later than November 1, 2007, and each of I-Flow and HAPC agreed not to exercise the right to terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement prior to November 1, 2007.
The Agreement confirmed the provision of the Acknowledgment stating that in the event HAPC is unable to obtain the requisite stockholder approval to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, including HAPC’s acquisition of InfuSystem (the “Acquisition Proposal”), by October 22, 2007, the $3,000,000 termination fee payable to I-Flow under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and Acknowledgment will be due and immediately payable by HAPC to I-Flow by October 22, 2007 regardless of whether HAPC’s acquisition of InfuSystem is subsequently consummated.
The Agreement contemplates that I-Flow may, in its discretion, purchase shares of HAPC’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from one or more third parties in privately negotiated transactions (an “I-Flow Share Purchase”) to increase the likelihood that stockholder approval of the Acquisition Proposal would be obtained. HAPC would not be a party to any of these transactions.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, HAPC agreed that if I-Flow effects an I-Flow Share Purchase of more than 5% of HAPC’s Common Stock and the Stock Purchase Agreement is terminated for any reason on or after November 1, 2007, HAPC will, within 15 days after such termination, adopt a specific plan of dissolution and liquidation for recommended approval to the stockholders of HAPC. HAPC will then file a preliminary proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) setting out such plan of dissolution and liquidation within 30 days after such termination, and will use all reasonable and diligent efforts to thereafter finalize the proxy statement and secure stockholder approval of the plan as soon as practicable.
The Agreement also provides that, if deemed advisable by I-Flow in connection with a dividend to its stockholders of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an I-Flow Share Purchase, HAPC will prepare and file a registration statement as necessary for such distribution and/or resale of those shares. In addition, normal and customary piggy-back registration rights will be included in the Promissory Note Documents (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement).
The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement and the Acknowledgment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the Agreement and Acknowledgment filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference.
