AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

 

between

 

TETRIDYN SOLUTIONS, INC.

 

And

 

OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CORPORATION

 

March 1, 2017 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

 

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (“Agreement”), dated as March 1, 2017, is entered into by and between TETRIDYN SOLUTIONS, INC., a Nevada corporation (“TetriDyn”), and OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“OTE”). TetriDyn and OTE are sometimes hereinafter together referred to as the “Parties.”

 

RECITALS

 

A. OTE is developing deep-water hydrothermal technologies to provide renewable energy and drinkable water. OTE’s Sea Water Air Conditioning (“SWAC”) technology takes advantage of the difference between cold deep water and warmer surface water to produce hydrothermal energy without requiring fossil fuels. OTE is interested in the synergies to be obtained by combining its business with the TetriDyn’s business of the development of a sustainable living community by creating an ecologically sustainable “EcoVillage” powered by 100% fossil-fuel free electricity, buildings cooled by energy efficient and chemical free systems, and on-site water produced for drinking, aquaculture and agriculture (“EcoVillage”). Further, OTE recognizes that TetriDyn’s status as a company subject to the periodic reporting requirements pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), may enhance access to the capital markets to fund future projects.

 

B. After the continued efforts of TetriDyn’s directors and others to sustain its business after the unexpected death, on April 26, 2013, of David Hempstead, its co-founder and chief executive officer, on December 8, 2016, TetriDyn acquired assets related to EcoVillage, and from and after that time shifted its business focus to EcoVillage. TetriDyn believes that its efforts will be substantially expedited by combining with the business operations of OTE, and believes that merging with OTE will significantly expand its prospects by allowing TetriDyn to commercialize the technology utilized in EcoVillage for other, similar communities in the future.

 

C. The Parties desire to combine as set forth in this Agreement in order to achieve the business goals of each.

 

D. In order to effect the combination of the Parties, TetriDyn shall organize a new, wholly owned subsidiary (“MergerCo”) under the laws of the state of Delaware that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the laws governing corporations under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”), shall merge with and into OTE (the “Merger”) for the purpose of making OTE a wholly owned subsidiary of TetriDyn (the “Surviving Corporation”).

 

E. In order to effect the Merger, at the Closing TetriDyn shall effect a recapitalization that consists of a 2.1676 forward split (the “Forward Split”) of its 246,616 shares of issued and outstanding stock (“TetriDyn Post-Split Stock”). On December 15, 2016, TetriDyn effectuated a reverse stock split on a 1-for-250 basis and increased its authorized common stock to 200,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share.

 

F. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, each share of common stock of OTE issued and outstanding or existing immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined herein) of the Merger (the “OTE Stock”) will be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive one newly issued share of TetriDyn Post-Split Stock (the “New TetriDyn Stock”), subject to certain restrictions on transfer as hereinafter provided and subject to the rights of the holders of certain of such shares of OTE Stock to exercise their rights as dissenters to seek an appraisal of the fair value thereof as provided under Delaware Law (each, a “Dissenting OTE Stockholder”). The number of shares of New TetriDyn Stock issued to the stockholders OTE, including shares that would have been issuable to Dissenting OTE Stockholders (as defined) had they not dissented, together with the number of shares issuable on the exercise of outstanding warrants and the conversion of outstanding bonds of OTE shall constitute, on a fully diluted basis, 90% of the number of shares of common stock of TetriDyn to on a fully-diluted basis after giving effect only to the Merger. The shares of common stock of TetriDyn, par value $0.001 per share (“TetriDyn Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain issued and outstanding. No shares of preferred stock of TetriDyn are issued and outstanding, and TetriDyn has no existing convertible securities or stock equivalent securities convertible or exercisable for shares of TetriDyn preferred Stock.

 

E. The board of directors of each of the Parties has determined that the Merger is consistent with and in furtherance of the long-term business strategies of each of them and is fair to, and in the best interests of, each of them and each of their respective stockholders; has approved and adopted this Agreement, the issuance of New TetriDyn Stock, and the other transactions contemplated hereby; and has recommended approval of this Agreement and the contemplated transactions by the appropriate Party’s stockholders when such approval is required by law.

 

 

 

 

F. For federal income tax purposes, it is understood that the Merger has been structured to qualify as a so-called “tax-free reorganization” under the provisions of Sections 368(a)1(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that each Party will take all actions reasonably necessary to so qualify the Merger, although neither Party has obtained or will be required to obtain or provide an opinion of counsel to the foregoing effect.

 

H. Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in section 8.03 hereof.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the respective representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and confirmed, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE II

Section 2.01 Merger Consideration; Conversion and Cancellation of Securities

 

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of TetriDyn, OTE, or MergerCo or their respective stockholders:

 

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, each share of OTE Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any OTE Stock described in section 2.01(d) of this Agreement and shares held by Dissenting OTE Stockholders) shall be converted into the right to receive one (1) (the “Exchange Ratio”) share of New TetriDyn Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of TetriDyn Stock or OTE Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, conversion, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares, or sale of additional shares, the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, conversion, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange, or sale of shares.

 

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, the former holders of warrants to purchase OTE Stock, at the Effective Time, shall be granted warrants to purchase the number of shares of New TetriDyn Stock at the exercise prices and during the warrant terms in effect at the Effective Time, appropriately adjusted to give effect to the Exchange Ratio or adjusted Exchange Ratio, as applicable. Such new warrants containing substantially identical terms as the existing warrants shall be delivered to the holders of existing warrants as quickly as practicable after the Effective Time against delivery to TetriDyn of the existing warrants for cancellation. Pending the issuance of the new warrants, the existing warrants outstanding at the Effective Time shall thereafter represent the right to purchase that whole number of shares of New TetriDyn Stock at an exercise price determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01(a) hereof.

 

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, the former holders of convertible debentures exercisable to purchase OTE Stock, at the Effective Time, shall be issued convertible debentures to purchase the number of shares of New TetriDyn Stock at the exercise prices and during the terms at the Effective Time, which shall be pursuant to the Exchange Ratio. Such new debentures containing substantially identical terms as the existing debentures shall be delivered to the holders of existing debenturesas quickly as practicable after the Effective Time against delivery to TetriDyn of the existing debentures for cancellation. Pending the issuance of the new debentures, the existing debentures outstanding at the Effective Time shall thereafter represent the right to purchase that whole number of shares of New TetriDyn Stock at an exercise price determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01(a) hereof.

 

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each share of OTE Stock held in the treasury of OTE and each share of OTE Stock owned by OTE or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of OTE immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

 

(e) Subject to the provisions of this Article II, each certificate evidencing OTE Stock at the Effective Time (the “Converted Shares” or “Converted Share Certificates”) shall thereafter represent the right to receive, subject to section 2.02(f) of this Agreement, that whole number of shares of New TetriDyn Stock determined pursuant to Section 2.01(a) hereof. The holders of Converted Share Certificates shall cease to have any rights respecting such Converted Shares except as otherwise provided herein or by law. Converted Share Certificates shall be exchanged for certificates evidencing whole shares of New TetriDyn Stock upon the surrender of such Converted Share Certificates in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 of this Agreement, without interest. No fractional shares of New TetriDyn Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger and, in lieu thereof, the number of shares issuable to any registered stockholder of record of OTE shall be rounded upward to the nearest whole share.

 

 

 

 

 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any issued and outstanding shares of OTE Stock held by a Dissenting OTE Stockholder who has not voted in favor of nor consented to the Merger and who complies with all the provisions of Delaware Law concerning the right of holders of such stock to dissent from the Merger and require appraisal of his shares, shall not be converted as described in this section 2.01 but shall become, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action, the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting OTE Stockholder in accordance with Delaware Law; provided, however, that shares of OTE Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Dissenting OTE Stockholder, who shall, after the Effective Time, withdraw his demand for appraisal or lose his right of appraisal, in either case pursuant to Delaware Law, shall be deemed to be converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive New TetriDyn Stock.

 

Section 2.02 Exchange and Surrender of Certificates

 

(a) As of the Effective Time, TetriDyn shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited with Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., 1981 Murray Holiday Road, Suite 100, P.O. Box 17136, Salt Lake City, UT 84117 (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of OTE Stock for exchange in accordance with this Article II, the certificates representing shares of New TetriDyn Stock issuable in the Merger.

 

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of shares of OTE Stock a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Converted Share Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Converted Share Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and which shall be in such form and have such other provisions as TetriDyn may reasonably specify) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Converted Share Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of New TetriDyn Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.01. Upon surrender of a Converted Share Certificate to the Exchange Agent, together with the duly executed letter of transmittal, the holder of a Converted Share Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of New TetriDyn Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. In the event of a transfer of ownership of OTE Stock that is not registered in OTE’s transfer records, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of New TetriDyn Stock may be issued to a transferee if the Converted Share Certificate representing such OTE Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this section 2.02, each Converted Share Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the New TetriDyn Stock into which the Converted Shares represented by such Converted Share Certificate would be converted as provided in this Article II.

 

(c) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of OTE Stock. If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing shares of OTE Stock are presented to TetriDyn or the Exchange Agent, they shall be exchanged for the New TetriDyn Stock provided for in this Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

 

(d) Any portion of the New TetriDyn Stock made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02 that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of OTE Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to TetriDyn, upon demand, and any holder who has not exchanged his Converted Shares of OTE Stock in accordance with this section 2.02 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to TetriDyn for exchange of the New TetriDyn Stock for his shares of OTE Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TetriDyn shall not be liable to any owner of OTE Stock for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Laws (as defined herein).

 

(e) No dividends, interest, or other distributions respecting shares of New TetriDyn Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Converted Share Certificates unless and until such Converted Share Certificates are surrendered as provided in this section 2.02. Upon surrender, TetriDyn shall pay or cause the Exchange Agent to pay, without interest, all dividends and other distributions payable for such shares of New TetriDyn Stock on a date, and for a record date, after the Effective Time.

 

(f) No certificates evidencing fractional shares of New TetriDyn Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Converted Share Certificates. In lieu of any fractional interests, TetriDyn shall issue to each holder of record of a Converted Share Certificate, upon surrender of such certificate for exchange pursuant to this Article II, a whole share of New TetriDyn Stock.

 

(g) TetriDyn shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any former holder of OTE Stock all amounts TetriDyn (or any affiliate thereof) is required to deduct and withhold respecting the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local, or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by TetriDyn, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of the OTE Stock for which such deduction and withholding was made. In the event the amount withheld is insufficient to satisfy the withholding obligations of TetriDyn, (or any affiliate thereof), such former stockholder shall reimburse TetriDyn (or such affiliate), at its request, the amount of any such insufficiency.

There is no claim, suit, litigation, proceeding, arbitration, or, to OTE’s knowledge, investigation of any kind, at law or in equity (including actions or proceedings seeking injunctive relief), pending or threatened against OTE or any of its properties (except for claims, actions, suits, litigation, proceedings, arbitrations, or investigations that would not have an OTE Material Adverse Effect), and OTE is not subject to any continuing order of, consent decree, settlement agreement, or other similar written agreement with, or to OTE’s knowledge, continuing investigation by, any Governmental Entity, or any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or award of any Government Entity or arbitrator, including cease-and-desist or other orders, except for matters that would not have an OTE Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 3.10 Tax Matters

 

Neither OTE nor, to OTE’s knowledge, any of its affiliates has taken or agreed to take any action that would prevent the Merger from constituting a tax-free reorganization qualifying under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code, all as more particularly set forth in a separate letter of representation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to TetriDyn to be delivered by OTE to TetriDyn at the Closing and which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

 

Section 3.11 Taxes

 

(a) OTE has made available to TetriDyn complete copies of: (i) all returns and information statements respecting any Taxes of OTE (“OTE Returns”) for all periods since the formation of OTE open under the statute of limitations for assessments; and (ii) examination reports and statements of deficiencies assessed by OTE. OTE does not do business or derive income from any state, local, territorial, or foreign taxing jurisdiction so as to be subject to Taxes or return filing requirements other than those OTE Returns described in the preceding sentence.

OTE and TetriDyn also agree to take all actions, including the disposition of assets or the withdrawal from doing business in particular jurisdictions, required by regulatory authorities as a condition to the granting of any approvals required in order to permit the consummation of the Merger or as may be required to avoid, lift, vacate, or reverse any legislative or judicial action that would otherwise cause any condition to Closing not to be satisfied; provided, however, that in no event shall OTE be required to take any action that would or could reasonably be expected to have an OTE Material Adverse Effect, and TetriDyn shall not be required to take any action that would or could reasonably be expected to have a TetriDyn Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c)

 

(i) OTE and TetriDyn shall give any notices to third parties, and use and cause their respective subsidiaries to use all reasonable efforts to obtain any third-party consents: (1) necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (2) otherwise required under any contracts, licenses, leases, or other agreements in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; or (3) required to prevent a material adverse effect affecting either of their respective business and operations from occurring prior to the Effective Time or a TetriDyn Material Adverse Effect from occurring after the Effective Time.

Section 5.05 Acquisition of New TetriDyn Stock

 

The consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, including the issuance of the New TetriDyn Stock to the stockholders of OTE as contemplated hereby, constitutes the offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws.

(vii) Each is able to bear the economic risks of this investment, and consequently, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, is able to hold the New TetriDyn Stock to be received for an indefinite period.

 

(viii) Each understands that the New TetriDyn Stock has not been registered, but is being acquired by reason of a specific exemption under the Securities Act as well as under certain state securities Laws for the issuance of securities in exchange for one or more bona fide outstanding securities, claims, or property interests when the terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange are approved, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions at which all persons to whom it is proposed to issue securities in such exchange shall have the right to appear, by a duly authorized governmental authority, as well as corresponding provisions of the securities Laws of other states.

 

 

 

 

(b) Each Party acknowledges that no legal opinion or other assurance will be required or given to the effect that the transactions contemplated hereby are in fact exempt from registration or qualification.

 

Section 5.06 Limitations on Resale of New TetriDyn Stock Following Possible Public Offering

 

In order to facilitate the possibility of a public offering of TetriDyn Stock, the New TetriDyn Stock issuable in accordance with this Agreement shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this section.

 

(a) The New TetriDyn Stock issuable in accordance with this Agreement cannot be resold: (i) until at least 180 days after the Effective Time; and (ii) during a period commencing on the date of filing by TetriDyn of a registration statement under the Securities Act for a firm commitment underwritten public offering for cash by TetriDyn of TetriDyn Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for TetriDyn Stock and continuing until the earlier of abandonment of the proposed public offering or 180 days following the date of the last closing in the public offering (the “Restricted Period”). Holders of such New TetriDyn Stock will cooperate with TetriDyn in providing reasonable written assurances respecting the foregoing to the underwriter of any such public offering.

 

(b) During the Restricted Period, holders of New TetriDyn Stock may not directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) shares of New TetriDyn Stock received in connection with this Agreement at any time during such period except securities included in such registration.

 

(c) In order to enforce the covenant set forth in this section 5.06, TetriDyn shall have the right to impose stop-transfer instructions respecting such shares of New TetriDyn Stock, which shall be binding on any holder or assignee (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction), until the end of such Restricted Period.

Although this transaction has been structured in an effort to qualify for treatment under Section 368(a)(1)(A) and Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code, there is no assurance that any part of this transaction in fact meets the requirements for such qualification. Each Party has relied exclusively on its own legal, accounting, and other tax advisers regarding the treatment of this transaction for federal and state income taxes and on no representation, warranty, or assurance from any other Party or such other Party’s legal, accounting, or other advisers.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the covenants respecting reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and limited preemption under applicable state Laws set forth in this Article V, each Party acknowledges that it has relied exclusively on its own legal advisers regarding the availability of such exemption and preemption and on no representation, warranty, or assurance from any other Party or such other Party’s legal advisers. Inasmuch as the basis for relying on exemptions is factual, depending on the conduct of the Parties and their representatives in connection with the Merger and soliciting stockholder consents, the Parties will not receive a legal opinion to the effect that this Merger and the issuance of New TetriDyn Stock are exempt or preempted from registration under any federal or state law. Instead, the Parties will rely on the operative facts as documented by them as their basis for such exemptions.

 

Section 5.08 Public Announcements

 

Neither Party shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements respecting the Merger without the approval of the other Party. The press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint press release of OTE and TetriDyn.
