ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

 

This Asset Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 25, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), is by and among Certified Diabetic Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation with a mailing address of 3030 Horseshoe Drive South, Suite 200, Naples, Florida 34104 (“CDIP”); Andover Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation with a mailing address of 510 Turnpike Street, Suite 204, N. Andover, Massachusetts 01845 (“Andover,” collectively with CDIP, the “Target Companies” and sometimes each individually referred to as a “Target Company”); and Medical Solutions Management Inc., a Nevada corporation with a mailing address of 237 Cedar Hill Street, Marlboro, Massachusetts 01752 (“MSMT”).  MSMT and the Target Companies are each sometimes referred to individually as a “Constituent Company” and collectively as the “Constituent Companies.”  All capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Section 7.12 hereof.

 

BACKGROUND

 

The Board of Directors of each Constituent Company has, by resolutions duly adopted, determined that it is in the best interests of its respective Constituent Company and its respective stockholders to consolidate the operations of CDIP and Andover with and into MSMT (the “Reorganization”).  In furtherance of the same, MSMT will issue shares of its capital stock to each Target Company in exchange for substantially all of the assets of each Target Company other than the Excluded Assets.  Upon consummation of the Reorganization, the parties intend that the stockholders of CDIP will own forty-five percent (45.0%) of the outstanding voting common stock, par value $0.0001, of MSMT (the “MSMT Common Stock”); the stockholders of Andover will own thirty-five percent (35.0%) of the outstanding MSMT Common Stock; and the existing stockholders of MSMT will own twenty percent (20.0%) of the outstanding MSMT Common Stock (in each case calculated immediately following the Closing and after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of all outstanding shares of MSMT Preferred Stock and all convertible debentures of MSMT which are convertible into shares of MSMT Common Stock, but excluding any shares of MSMT Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants or options of MSMT).  In order to accomplish the above and enable the parties to receive the consideration set forth in this Agreement without having to recognize income for federal income tax purposes, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are being structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(E)                                 the Board of Directors of such Receiving Constituent Company shall have determined (x) after consultation with its financial advisor, if any, that the terms of the Superior Offer are more favorable to the stockholders of such Receiving Constituent Company than the terms of this Agreement (as it may be adjusted pursuant to subsection (D) above), and (y) after consultation with outside legal counsel, the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of such Receiving Constituent Company under applicable law.

representation and warranty been true and correct at the time made so that the Constituent Company’s percentage interest in MSMT is not less than that which it was intended to be based upon the incorrect representation and warranty.

 

4.13.                        Takeover Statutes.  If any anti-takeover, control share acquisition, fair price, moratorium or other similar statute is or may become applicable to the Reorganization or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Constituent Company and their respective Boards of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such lawful actions as are necessary to ensure that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise take such lawful actions to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute and any regulations promulgated thereunder on such transactions.

 

4.14.                        Tax Treatment.  The Constituent Companies hereto acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated hereby are intended to qualify and to be treated as tax-free reorganizations under Sections 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and the associated Treasury Regulations.  In furtherance of the same, each Constituent Company hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants, severally and not jointly, as applicable:

 

(a)                                  Each Target Company will retain only its corporate charter and those assets, if any, necessary to satisfy state minimum law capital requirements to maintain corporate existence (minimum capital).

 

(b)                                 MSMT will acquire at least ninety percent (90%) of the fair market value of the net assets and at least seventy percent (70%) of the fair market value of the gross assets held by each Target Company immediately prior to the Closing Date.  For purposes of this calculation, the following shall be included as an asset of each Target Company held immediately prior to the Closing Date: (i) the corporate charter and minimum capital retained by each Target Company; (ii) amounts paid by each Target Company to any dissenting stockholder (if the Reorganization triggers dissenters’ rights); (iii) amounts used by each Target Company to pay its expenses associated with the Reorganization; (iv) amounts paid by each Target Company to its stockholders who receive cash or other property; and (v) all redemptions and distributions (except for regular, normal dividends) made by each Target Company immediately preceding the Closing Date.

 

(c)                                  The primary purpose for having each Target Company maintain its corporate existence under state law is to isolate each Target Company’s charter for resale to an Unrelated Purchaser.  As used herein, the term “Unrelated Purchaser” shall mean a purchaser that did not own, actually or constructively pursuant to Section 318(a) of the Code (as modified by Section 304(c)(3)), any stock of the Target Company prior to the Reorganization or does not own, any stock, actually or constructively pursuant to Section 318(a) of the Code (as modified by Section 304(c)(3)), of MSMT subsequent to the Reorganization.

 

(d)                                 Each Target Company will use its best efforts to be sold to an Unrelated Purchaser or dissolved under state law within twelve (12) months following the Closing Date.

 

49



 

(e)                                  The fair market value of MSMT Securities received by each Target Company (and ultimately distributed to each Target Company’s stockholders) will be approximately equal to the fair market value of the Target Company securities surrendered in the exchange.

 

(f)                                    There is no plan or intention by the stockholders of the Target Companies who own five percent (5%) or more of the capital stock of each Target Company, and to the best of the knowledge of each Target Company, there is no plan or intention on the part of the remaining stockholders of each Target Company to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of MSMT Securities received in the Reorganization that would reduce the Target Company’s (and ultimately the Target Company’s stockholders, after effecting the distribution described in Section 1.8 hereof) ownership of MSMT Securities to a number of shares of capital stock that have a value, as of the Closing Date, of less than fifty percent (50%) of the value of all of the formerly outstanding stock of each Target Company as of the Closing Date.  For purposes of this calculation, (i) shares of each Target Company exchanged for cash or other property, (ii) surrender to the Target Companies by any dissenting stockholder (if the Reorganization triggers dissenters’ rights), or (iii) exchanged for cash in lieu of fractional shares of MSMT Securities shall be included as outstanding Target Company capital stock on the Closing Date.  Moreover, shares of Target Company stock and shares of MSMT Securities held by Target Company stockholders and otherwise sold, redeemed or disposed of prior or subsequent to the Reorganization shall be considered in making this calculation.

 

(g)                                 MSMT has no plan or intention to reacquire any of the MSMT Securities issued in the Reorganization.

 

(h)                                 MSMT has no plan or intention to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the CDIP Purchased Assets or the Andover Purchased Assets acquired in the Reorganization, except for dispositions made in the ordinary course of business or transfers described in Section 368(a)(2)(C) of the Code.  Each Target Company will distribute the MSMT Securities (and any other property it receives in the Reorganization), and its other properties, in pursuance of the Reorganization.  The CDIP Assumed Liabilities and Andover Assumed Liabilities assumed by MSMT (and any liabilities to which the CDIP Purchased Assets or Andover Purchased Assets are subject) pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof, were incurred by each of CDIP and Andover, as applicable, in the ordinary course of business.

 

(i)                                     Following the Reorganization, MSMT will continue the historic business of the Target Companies or use a significant portion of the CDIP Purchased Assets and Andover Purchased Assets in its business.

 

(j)                                     There is no intercorporate Indebtedness existing between any of the Constituent Companies that was issued, acquired or will be settled at a discount.  None of the Constituent Companies is an investment company, as defined in Section 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) of the Code.

 

(k)                                  The fair market value of the CDIP Purchased Assets and Andover Purchased Assets transferred to MSMT will equal or exceed the sum of the CDIP Assumed Liabilities and the Andover Assumed Liabilities (such CDIP Assumed Liabilities and Andover

 

50



 

Assumed Liabilities inclusive of the amount of any liabilities to which the CDIP Purchased Assets and Andover Purchased Assets are subject).

 

(l)                                     None of the Constituent Companies is under the jurisdiction of a court in a Title 11 or similar case within the meaning of Section 368(a)(3)(A) of the Code.

 

4.15.                        Other Actions by the Parties.  Each Constituent Company, at the request of the other parties, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including all action reasonably necessary to seek and obtain any and all approvals of any Governmental Authority or other Person required in connection with the Reorganization).
