EX-10.1 2 0002.txt STANDSTILL AGREEMENT STANDSTILL AGREEMENT This Standstill Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2000, is by and among Health Risk Management, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Issuer"), Chiplease, Inc., a South Dakota corporation ("Chiplease"), Banco Panamericano, Inc., a South Dakota corporation ("Banco"), Leslie Jabine, a resident of Chicago, Illinois ("Jabine") and Leon A. Greenblatt, III, a resident of Chicago, Illinois ("Greenblatt"). WHEREAS, Chiplease, Banco, Jabine and Greenblatt have represented that as of the date hereof they and their respective affiliates collectively own of record and/or beneficially an aggregate of 675,500 shares of common stock of the Issuer, and as of the date hereof, the Issuer has 4,661,801 outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value ("Common Stock"); WHEREAS, on April 4, 1997, the Issuer entered into a Rights Agreement amended October 1, 1999 (as amended, the "Rights Agreement") with Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. as Rights Agent pursuant to which the Issuer declared a dividend of preferred stock purchase rights; WHEREAS, Chiplease, Banco, Jabine and Greenblatt wish to purchase additional shares of the Issuer that would cause Chiplease, Banco, Jabine or Greenblatt to become an "Acquiring Person" as defined by the Rights Agreement; WHEREAS, Chiplease, Banco, Jabine and Greenblatt acknowledge, for themselves and on behalf of their respective affiliates, that all shares of the Issuer's stock now or hereafter beneficially owned by Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt or their respective affiliates are, or shall be, held solely for investment purposes, and not for the purpose of seeking to acquire control of the Issuer; and WHEREAS, the Issuer has agreed not to object to or protest any purchases made in accordance with the terms hereof, and to take action under the Rights Agreement or any other similar agreements in the future to permit the acquisition of shares by Chiplease, Banco, Jabine or Greenblatt up to the agreed upon limits set forth herein without triggering any distribution under the Rights Agreement, if Chiplease, Banco, Jabine and Greenblatt, for themselves and on behalf of their respective affiliates, agree to and fully comply with the terms and conditions of this Standstill Agreement, and Chiplease, Banco, Jabine and Greenblatt, for themselves and on behalf of their respective affiliates, have agreed to such terms and conditions; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the agreements, terms and conditions contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. The Issuer agrees that it shall not object to, or file any protest with, any agency with whom Chiplease, Banco, Jabine or Greenblatt is required to make a Regulatory Filing (defined below) as a result of beneficial ownership or acquisition of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, provided that Chiplease, 1 Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt and their respective affiliates timely file and cooperate with the Issuer in filing all applications for any permit, license, clearance or other regulatory approval required by any federal, state or local regulatory body (collectively a "Regulatory Clearance"), and promptly, within the time period required by the regulatory body, comply with all requests by such regulatory body for information from or about, or compliance by, Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt or any of their respective affiliates. If at any time Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt or any of their respective affiliates fails to receive, or causes the Issuer to fail to receive, a Regulatory Clearance that affects the business or prospects of the Issuer, then the Issuer and Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt and their respective affiliates, will immediately jointly use best efforts to satisfy the concerns and requirements of the regulatory authority in order to secure such required Regulatory Clearance within such period of time as will not cause the Issuer to lose the business opportunity. In this regard, Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt and their respective affiliates will immediately use best efforts to timely cooperate in good faith and to take, within such time frame as will avoid loss of the business opportunity, such actions as the regulatory authority may indicate are required to secure the Regulatory Clearance or to make such Regulatory Clearance unnecessary. Notwithstanding anything in this Standstill Agreement to the contrary, at no time shall any one of Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt or any of their respective affiliates individually own of record or through nominees 10% or more of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. 2. For a period commencing the date hereof and ending on the later of (i) the date on which the aggregate beneficial ownership of the Issuer's Common Stock of Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt and their respective affiliates is collectively less than 10% of the then outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer and (ii) the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, neither Chiplease nor Banco nor Jabine nor Greenblatt, nor any of their respective affiliates, will directly or indirectly: (a) own, hold or acquire, or agree to acquire, ownership (beneficial or otherwise) of any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, or rights or options or convertibles to acquire any such shares, that would result in the aggregate beneficial ownership of Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt and their respective affiliates to exceed collectively 1,165,000 shares of the total outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer, as adjusted to reflect stock dividends or stock splits, during the years of this Standstill Agreement; provided, however, neither Chiplease nor Banco nor Jabine nor Greenblatt, nor any of their respective affiliates, shall effect any purchase of Common Stock of the Issuer otherwise permitted by this Standstill Agreement unless they first as a precondition thereto fully comply with all Regulatory Filings; (b) make, or in any way participate in, any "solicitation" or request for "proxies" (as such terms are defined or used in Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) or become a "participant" in or in any way encourage or facilitate any "election contest" (as such terms are defined or used under the Exchange Act) to vote any securities of the Issuer; (c) demand, or join in any demand for, a meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer, or initiate or propose any shareholder proposals for submission to a vote of shareholders of the Issuer except for a shareholder 2 resolution required by Minnesota Statutes ss. 302A.671 to give full voting rights to shares acquired and held in compliance with this Standstill Agreement, or nominate or otherwise propose, any person for election to the Board of Directors of the Issuer, except during the period of the agreements under this Section 2, Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt and their respective affiliates may nominate Andrew A. Jahelka, or such other individual reasonably acceptable to the Issuer's Board of Directors, (the "Designated Director") to be a member of the Issuer's Board of Directors, and the Issuer will include the Designated Director in its nominees for election to the Issuer's Board of Directors and will use all reasonable efforts to cause the Designated Director to be elected to such Board of Directors, including but not limited to recommending shareholders vote for the Designated Director and members of the Issuer's Board of Directors voting their shares for him; (d) communicate with, seek to advise, encourage or influence any person or entity, in any manner, with respect to the voting of any Common Stock of the Issuer (including by taking a public position with respect to any matter to be submitted to shareholders of the Issuer for their approval); (e) vote the shares of Common Stock in any manner other than in accordance with the recommendations of the Issuer approved by a majority of the Issuer's directors who are not also officers or employees of the Issuer and are not the Designated Director; provided, if no such recommendation is made, then Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt and their respective affiliates shall vote all Common Stock beneficially owned by any of them in the same proportion as the votes cast by other holders of Common Stock; further provided, upon request from the Issuer approved by a majority of the Issuer's directors who are not also officers or employees of the Issuer and are not the Designated Director, Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt and their respective affiliates shall cause to be executed and delivered to the Issuer, at least two weeks prior to any scheduled shareholder meeting, sufficient written proxies appointing as agent or proxy one or more of the Issuer's officers or directors to vote as required by this Section all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any of them upon the matters that are voted upon by the shareholders at the meeting; further provided, neither Chiplease nor Banco nor Jabine nor Greenblatt nor any of their respective affiliates nor any record holder of Common Stock beneficially owned by Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt or any of their respective affiliates shall appoint a person, other than a director or officer of the Issuer as provided above, as its proxy without the written consent of the Issuer; further provided, Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt and their respective affiliates shall be present, either in person or by such proxy requested by the Issuer's directors, at all meetings of shareholders for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum at such meeting; provided, however, the Issuer's Board of Directors will cause the Issuer to comply with the requirements of the Minnesota Control Share Acquisition Act and will allow the other parties hereto to encourage and vote for a resolution submitted pursuant to such Act with respect to all shares acquired pursuant to and in compliance with this Standstill Agreement if and when such Act becomes applicable; (f) make an offer to acquire the Issuer or cause such an offer to be made unless another offer is made first by an independent party not acting jointly or in concert with, or otherwise encouraged or assisted by, Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt or any of their respective affiliates or associates in connection with such an offer, and the Board of Directors invites Chiplease, 3 Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt or any of their respective affiliates or associates to make such an offer or to cause such an offer to be made; (g) otherwise seek to control the management or policies of the Issuer or any of its affiliates; (h) institute, prosecute or pursue against the Issuer (or any of its officers, directors, representatives, trustees, employees, attorneys, advisors, agents, affiliates or associates) any claim with respect to any action hereafter approved by a majority of the Issuer's directors who are not also officers or employees of the Issuer (other than any claim: (x) to enforce this Standstill Agreement, (y) for any intentional fraudulent acts, or (z) any intentional violations of securities laws); (i) form, join or in any way participate in a "group" (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or under the Minnesota Business Corporation Act) with respect to any securities of the Issuer in connection with any action or matter otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Standstill Agreement; (j) offer, sell or transfer, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock to any person or group of persons who would after such sale beneficially or of record own more than 5% of the total outstanding Common Stock, unless such purchaser agrees, prior to such purchase, in a writing satisfactory to the Issuer to abide by the terms of this Standstill Agreement for the remaining period of the Standstill Agreement; provided, however, that the exemptive action taken under the Rights Agreement as described in Section 5 hereof shall not apply to any such purchaser; further provided, the foregoing restriction shall not prevent Chiplease, Banco, Jabine, Greenblatt or their respective affiliates from tendering shares of Common Stock to a person making a tender offer or exchange offer which is not in violation of Section 2(f) hereof if it is recommended to the Issuer's shareholders by the Issuer's Board of Directors;
