Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Amendment
No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization
On
October 26, 2009, Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization, dated as of August 7, 2009, as amended in its entirety by the
Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of August
11, 2009 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Camden Learning
Corporation (“Camden” or the “Company”), Dlorah Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Camden (“Merger Sub”), and Dlorah, Inc., a South Dakota
corporation which owns and operates National American University (“Dlorah”), was
executed by the parties. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger
Agreement, the Dlorah stockholders have agreed to contribute all of the
outstanding capital stock of Dlorah to Camden in exchange for shares of a newly
created class of stock, warrants and restricted shares of currently authorized
common stock of Camden, as further described below under the heading
“Consideration.” At the closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into
Dlorah with Dlorah surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camden (the
“Transaction”).
Consideration
Pursuant
to Amendment No. 1, the number of shares of restricted common stock to be issued
to the Dlorah stockholders in connection with the Transaction has been reduced
from 575,000 shares to 250,000 shares. Consequently, at the effective
time of the Transaction, all equity interests of Dlorah issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Transaction shall automatically convert into the right
to receive an aggregate of: (i) 100,000 shares of Class A Stock, par value
$.0001 per share, of Camden, which such Class A Common Stock shall be
convertible into 15,730,000 shares of Camden common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share (the “Common Stock”), as such conversion number may be adjusted as
described in the Merger Agreement, (2) 2,800,000 newly issued common stock
purchase warrants (the “Warrant Consideration”) to purchase up to 2,800,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share, and (3) 250,000
shares of restricted Common Stock, which such shares shall not be freely
tradable until such time as the Common Stock trades at or above $8.00 per share
for any sixty (60) consecutive trading day period; provided, that such shares of
restricted Common Stock shall be forfeited on the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the date of issuance if such restriction has not been
satisfied.
Further,
the minimum amount of consideration to be received by Dlorah’s stockholders in
the Transaction was increased from 70% to 74.4% of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Camden, on an as-converted and fully diluted basis as of the
date of closing. As a result, if, as of the date of closing of the Transaction,
the consideration to be received by Dlorah’s stockholders represents less than
an aggregate of 74.4% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Camden, on
an as-converted and fully diluted basis, then the number of shares of Common
Stock into which the Class A Stock is convertible shall be increased such that
the consideration to be received by Dlorah’s stockholders equals 74.4% of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of Camden, on an as-converted and fully
diluted basis as of the date of the closing of the Transaction. For
purposes of calculating the consideration to be received by Dlorah’s
stockholders and the number of shares of issued and outstanding capital stock of
Camden, on an as-converted and fully diluted basis, the number of shares of
Common Stock constituting the Warrant Consideration shall be 855,556 shares
(based on a cashless exercise of the 2,800,000 common stock purchase warrants
using a fair market value of $7.92 per share).
Founders’
Warrants
Amendment
No. 1 also increases the number of shares of restricted Common Stock to be
issued to Camden Learning, LLC, the Company’s sponsor, in exchange for the
2,800,000 common stock purchase warrants owned by Camden Learning, LLC, from
250,000 shares to 575,000 shares. Consequently, at the effective time
of the Transaction, the 2,800,000 common stock purchase warrants owned by Camden
Learning, LLC shall be exchanged for 575,000 shares of restricted Common Stock,
which shares shall not be freely tradable until such time as the Common Stock
trades at or above $8.00 per share for any sixty (60) consecutive trading day
period; provided, that such shares of restricted Common Stock shall be forfeited
on the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the date of issuance if such restriction has not been
satisfied.
Elimination
of Certain Closing Conditions
Amendment
No. 1 eliminated the closing condition that the Common Stock and the Company’s
warrants be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market or the Nasdaq Global
Market. The Common Stock shall continue to be listed on the OTC
Bulletin Board.
Elimination
of Underwriters' Option and Amendment of Underwriting Agreement
The
underwriters of Camden's initial public offering hold a unit purchase option to
purchase up to 625,000 shares of Common Stock and 625,000 warrants (convertible
into 625,000 shares of Common Stock). In connection with Amendment No. 1,
the underwriters have agreed to surrender such unit purchase option in exchange
for aggregate deferred underwriting compensation of $1,750,000 in the event the
Transaction closes, such amount to be paid without regard to the number of
shares of Common Stock redeemed by the Company in connection with those public
stockholders who vote against the Transaction and seek redemption of
their Common Stock for a pro rata portion of the amount held
in Camden’s trust account.
A copy of
Amendment No. 1 is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by
reference herein.
Item
8.01 Other Events
On October 27, 2009, Camden announced
that the Special Meeting of the Warrantholders and the Special Meeting of the
Stockholders will be held on November 23, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
