Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Merger Agreement

On October 5, 2012, CafePress Inc. (“CafePress”), and EZ Prints, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EZ Prints”), Sunday Morning Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CafePress (“Merger Sub”) and, as Stockholder Representative, Fortis Advisors LLC, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into EZ Prints (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist and EZ Prints will survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CafePress.

At the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding shares of capital stock of EZ Prints held by the stockholders of EZ Prints (the “EZP Stockholders”) will be converted into the right to receive an initial closing payment in the aggregate amount of $30,000,000, subject to customary adjustments and other transaction expenses (the “Initial Merger Consideration”). The Merger Agreement also provides for earn-out consideration whereby the EZP Stockholders have contingent rights to receive up to $10 million based on achievement of certain performance targets for the acquired business over the twelve months following the closing of the Merger. To the extent that such performance targets are achieved, the first $2.7 million will be paid in either CafePress common stock or cash, at the election of the receiving EZP Stockholders, which election must be made prior to the closing of the Merger. Any remainder of the $10 million, if earned, above $2.7 million would be paid out solely in cash. The Merger Agreement provides that the value of each share of common stock to be issued as part of the earn-out consideration will be $9.24.

The Merger Agreement also provides that $4.5 million of the Initial Merger Consideration will be placed into an escrow account to settle certain claims for indemnification for breaches or inaccuracies in EZ Prints’ representations and warranties, covenants and agreements and other indemnifiable claims.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, Mr. Wes Herman, the current Chief Executive Officer of EZ Prints, will enter into an employment agreement with CafePress effective at the closing of the Merger. The employment agreement will provide Mr. Herman a salary of $300,000 annually and he will have a contingent right to receive up to $1 million at a date twelve months after the closing of the Merger based on the achievement of the same performance targets for the acquired business as the earn-out consideration metrics.

The Merger and Merger Agreement were approved by the board of directors of CafePress, the board of directors and sole stockholder of Merger Sub, and the board of directors of EZ Prints. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties, and covenants by each of the parties thereto as well as indemnification. In addition, the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement by the requisite vote of EZP Stockholders and the requirement that certain third-party consents are obtained. The Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012.
