Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 6, 2013, AllDigital Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“AllDigital”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Broadcast International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Broadcast International”) and Alta Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Broadcast International (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into AllDigital, and AllDigital will survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Broadcast International (the “Merger”). The respective boards of directors of Broadcast International and AllDigital have approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of AllDigital capital stock will be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of Broadcast International common stock as determined pursuant to the exchange ratio described in the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”). In addition, at the Effective Time: (i) all outstanding options to purchase AllDigital common stock will be assumed by Broadcast International and converted into options to purchase shares of Broadcast International common stock, in each case appropriately adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio; and (ii) all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of AllDigital common stock will be assumed by Broadcast International and converted into warrants to purchase shares of Broadcast International common stock, in each case appropriately adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio. No fractional shares of Broadcast International common stock will be issued in the Merger. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, former stockholders of AllDigital are expected to own approximately 54% of the combined company, calculated on a fully-diluted basis, and current stockholders of Broadcast International are expected to own approximately 46% of the combined company, calculated on a fully-diluted basis. The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1985, as amended.

 

The Merger Agreement provides that, immediately following the Effective Time, the board of directors of the combined company will consist of Donald A. Harris, William A. Boyd, Paul Summers, David Williams and an independent director to be selected by AllDigital and Broadcast International. In connection with the Merger, Broadcast International will seek to amend its articles of incorporation to: (i) effect a reverse stock split of Broadcast International common stock at a ratio of 1 post-reverse share for 10 pre-reverse shares; (ii) increase the number of authorized shares of Broadcast International common stock; and (iii) change the name of Broadcast International to “AllDigital Broadcasting, Inc.” (together, the “Charter Amendment”).

 

The completion of the Merger is subject to various customary conditions, including, among other things: (i) the approval of the respective stockholders of Broadcast International and AllDigital, (ii) subject to certain materially exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by each of Broadcast International and AllDigital and the compliance by each of Broadcast International and AllDigital with their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement; and (iii) the declaration of the effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by Broadcast International in connection with the Merger.

 

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants obligating each of Broadcast International and AllDigital to continue to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course, to provide reasonable access to each other’s information and to use reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC. The Merger Agreement also contains a customary “no solicitation” provisions pursuant to which, prior to the completion of the Merger, neither AllDigital nor Broadcast International may solicit or engage in discussions with any third party regarding another acquisition proposal unless such party has received an unsolicited, bona fide written proposal that the recipient’s board of directors determines is or would reasonably be expected to result in a superior proposal. Each of Broadcast International and AllDigital is obligated to duly call and hold a special meeting of, or solicit written consents from, its stockholders to obtain the necessary stockholder approval of the transaction.

 

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights in favor of each of Broadcast International and AllDigital. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides that, in connection with certain terminations of the Merger Agreement, depending upon the circumstances surrounding the termination, one party may be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $100,000 and issue the other party an amount of shares of common stock equal to 4% of the fully diluted common stock of the party obligated to pay the termination fee.

The Merger Agreement has been provided pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in order to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding its terms. However, it is not intended to provide any other factual information about AllDigital, Broadcast International, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates of any other party. In particular, the representation, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement have been made only for the purpose of the Merger Agreement and, as such, are intended solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement. In many cases, the representations, warranties and covenants are subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties and are qualified by certain disclosures exchanged by the parties in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. Furthermore, many of the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement are the result of a negotiated allocation of contractual risk among the parties and, taken in isolation, do not necessarily reflect facts about AllDigital, Broadcast International, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates or any other party. Likewise, any reference to materiality contained in the representations and warranties may not correspond to concepts of materiality applicable to investors or stockholders. Finally, information concerning the subject matter of the representation and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement and these changes may not be fully reflected in Broadcast International’s public disclosures.

 

AS A RESULT OF THE FOREGOING, INVESTORS ARE ENCOURAGED NOT TO RELY ON THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS CONTAINED IN THE MERGER AGREEMENT, OR ON ANY DESCRIPTIONS THEREOF, AS ACCURATE CHARACTERIZATIONS OF THE STATE OF FACTS OR CONDITION OF BROADCAST INTERNATIONAL OR ANY OTHER PARTY. INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE LIKEWISE CAUTIONED THAT THEY ARE NOT THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES UNDER THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND DO NOT HAVE ANY DIRECT RIGHTS OR REMEDIES PURSUANT OT THE MERGER AGREEMENT.
