Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On May 3, 2013, Bering Growth Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (the Company), Bering Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub), and Viveve, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Viveve), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement).
Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in the Merger Agreement, upon the consummation of the merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into Viveve, with Viveve surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the Merger).
As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the common stock, par value $0.001, of Viveve (the Viveve Common Stock) will be converted into and exchangeable for 0.0241 (subject to adjustment under the terms of the Merger Agreement) (the Exchange Ratio) shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the Company Common Stock) following the Domestication (defined below). At the closing of the Merger, the Company will assume all of the outstanding convertible debt securities, warrants and outstanding options of Viveve as adjusted by the Exchange Ratio.
The closing of the Merger is subject to a financing contingency and completion of the re-domestication of the Company from the Cayman Islands to Delaware (the Domestication). The closing of the Merger is also subject to the approval of the Merger by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Viveves capital stock. Prior to the closing of the Merger, the Companys shareholders must approve the Domestication and the adoption of Viveves stock option plan effective upon the closing of the Merger. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the Company, Viveve and Merger Sub. The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary circumstances by the Company or Viveve, including if the closing of the Merger does not occur by July 30, 2013.
Upon the closing of the Merger, the Companys director and its executive officers will resign from their positions and the directors and officers of Viveve will become the Companys executive officers and directors.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been provided solely to inform investors of its terms. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants, which were made for the purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and may be intended not as statements of facts, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the Company, Viveve and Merger Sub in connection with the negotiated terms or with certain disclosures not reflected in the text of the Merger Agreement, may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date or may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders of other investors in the Company. The Companys stockholders and other investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts of conditions of the Company, Viveve, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.
