Item 1.01.
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On June 26, 2014, Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (“Wireless Ronin”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Creative Realities, LLC, a privately held Delaware limited liability company (“Creative Realities”).  Creative Realities designs, builds and manages marketing technology to improve retail shopping experiences for its customers.

The Merger Agreement contemplates a reverse triangular merger in which Creative Realities survives a merger with WRT Acquisition, LLC, a subsidiary of Wireless Ronin, thereby becoming a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Wireless Ronin (the “Merger”).   As a result of the Merger, Slipstream Funding, LLC, as the sole member of Creative Realities, will receive at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), shares of Wireless Ronin common stock equivalent to approximately 58.5% of Wireless Ronin common stock outstanding immediately after the Merger, and a warrant to purchase shares equal to 1.5% of Wireless Ronin common stock outstanding immediately after the Merger, each calculated on a modified fully diluted basis.

The completion of the Merger is contingent upon customary closing conditions in addition to (i) the consummation of Wireless Ronin’s pending merger with Broadcast International, Inc., (ii) Wireless Ronin securing agreements with investors to purchase securities yielding gross proceeds of at least $5 million, pursuant to such terms mutually agreeable to Wireless Ronin and Creative Realities, (iii) subject to certain materiality-based exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by, and the compliance or performance of the obligations of, each of Wireless Ronin and Creative Realities set forth in the Merger Agreement and (iv) the Wireless Ronin board of directors receiving a fairness opinion with respect to the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants obligating each of Wireless Ronin and Creative Realities to continue to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course, and to provide reasonable access to each other’s information.

The Merger Agreement restricts the ability of each of Wireless Ronin and Creative Realities to solicit third party offers with respect to alternative acquisition proposals or provide information to or engage in discussions or negotiations with third parties that have made or that might make such an alternative acquisition proposal. The Merger Agreement allows each of Wireless Ronin and Creative Realities, under certain circumstances and in compliance with certain obligations, to provide information and participate in discussions and negotiations with respect to unsolicited offers.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights in favor of each of Creative Realities and Wireless Ronin.  In addition, 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 $350,000.  Wireless Ronin may also be obligated to reimburse transaction expenses incurred by Creative Realities upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, up to a cap of $350,000.
