Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 29, 2014, Western Capital Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with WCRS Acquisition Co., LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and BC Alpha Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BC Alpha”) owning approximately 90% of the ownership interests in AlphaGraphics, Inc. AlphaGraphics is a franchise model global leader in marketing and print communications. BC Alpha is an affiliate of WCR, LLC, the beneficial owner of approximately 90.4% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

 

The Merger Agreement contemplates a merger between BC Alpha and Merger Sub, with BC Alpha surviving the merger and thereby becoming a wholly owned operating subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, AlphaGraphics will also become a subsidiary of the Company. The holders of BC Alpha limited liability company interests immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be entitled to receive a number of shares of Company common stock equivalent to approximately 45% of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after the Merger.

 

The completion of the Merger is contingent upon customary closing conditions, including the approval of Merger by the members of BC Alpha and, 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 the Company and BC Alpha set forth in the Merger Agreement. In this regard, the Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants obligating each of the parties to continue to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course, and to provide reasonable access to each other’s information.

 

The Merger Agreement may be terminated by either party if the Merger has not been consummated by October 31, 2014, so long as the failure to consummate the Merger is not attributable to the failure to perform any covenant or obligation required by the Merger Agreement by the party electing to terminate the Merger Agreement.

 

The Merger Agreement is attached to this report as Exhibit 2.1. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated and effected thereby is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the contents of the actual Merger Agreement.

 

A September 2, 2014 press release announcing the Merger Agreement is also attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1.
