ARTICLE 2.
the Merger
2.1 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time: (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into Clinigence (the “Merger”); (b) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease; (c) Clinigence will continue its corporate existence under the DGCL as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a Subsidiary of iGambit (sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation”) and (d) the Surviving Corporation shall change its name to Clinigence, Inc.
2.2 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days) after the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions to the Merger set forth in ARTICLE 9 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all such conditions), unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to its terms or unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The actual date of the Closing is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”
2.3 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Clinigence, iGambit, and Merger Sub will cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged, and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by Clinigence and iGambit in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).
2.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses, and authority of Clinigence and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, and duties of each of Clinigence and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
2.5 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws. At the Effective Time: (a) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated so as to read in its entirety as mutually agreed to by the parties, and, as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof or as provided by applicable Law; and (b) the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, except that references to Merger Sub’s name shall be replaced with references to the Surviving Corporation’s name, until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, or as provided by applicable Law.
2 |
2.6 Directors and Officers . Schedule 2.6 sets forth the Persons who shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the DGCL and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
ARTICLE 3.
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
3.1 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of iGambit, Merger Sub, or Clinigence or the holder of any capital stock of iGambit, Merger Sub, or Clinigence:
(a) Cancellation of Certain Clinigence Common Stock. Each share of Clinigence Common Stock that is owned by Clinigence (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cancelled Shares”) will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.
(b) Conversion of Clinigence Common Stock. Each share of Clinigence Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares) will be converted into the right to receive such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of iGambit Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”) that would result in the shareholders of Clinigence (the “Clinigence Stockholders”) having a right to receive an aggregate number of shares of iGambit Common Stock immediately following the Effective Time that represent eighty-five percent (85%) of the total issued and outstanding iGambit Common Stock on a fully diluted, as-converted basis immediately following the Effective Time, assuming there are no Dissenting Stockholder Interests as of the Effective Time (the “Exchange Ratio”). For the avoidance of doubt, the shareholders of iGambit shall, in the aggregate, own no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total issued and outstanding shares of iGambit Common Stock on a fully diluted, as-converted basis immediately following the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating the Exchange Ratio, (i) the aggregate number of shares of iGambit held by the Clinigence Stockholders immediately following the Effective Time shall include the number of iGambit Option Shares and the iGambit Warrant Shares on an as-converted basis, and (ii) the aggregate number of issued and outstanding iGambit Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall include subscriptions, options, warrants, conversion, exchange or other rights, agreements or commitments of any kind relating to or obligating iGambit to issue or sell, or cause to be issued or sold, any shares of capital stock of iGambit or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such shares from and after the Signing Date and to the Effective Time.
(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers, and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.
3 |
(d) iGambit Capital Stock. iGambit shall reserve and take all other actions necessary or appropriate to have available for issuance or transfer a sufficient number of iGambit Common Stock for delivery in accordance with this Section 3.1.
3.2 Exchange Procedures.
(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, iGambit shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to Clinigence (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration for the Certificates; and the Book-Entry Shares. At or promptly following the Effective Time, iGambit shall deposit, or cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit, with the Exchange Agent certificates representing the shares of iGambit Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration (or make appropriate alternative arrangements if uncertificated shares of iGambit Common Stock represented by book-entry shares will be issued).
(b) Procedures for Surrender; No Interest. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall send to each record holder of shares of Clinigence Common Stock at the Effective Time a transmittal letter in a form mutually agreed to by the parties (the “Transmittal Letter”). Each holder of shares of Clinigence Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Clinigence Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share upon: (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate; or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares; in each case, together with a duly completed and validly executed Transmittal Letter and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent or Clinigence. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE 3, each Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Share or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, shall immediately be cancelled.
(c) Payments to Non-Registered Holders. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that: (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred; and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(d) Full Satisfaction. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Clinigence Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Clinigence Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE 3.
(e) Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Shares of Clinigence Common Stock. All shares of iGambit Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by iGambit in respect of the iGambit Common Stock, the record date for which is after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement.
4 |
(f) Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of Clinigence Common Stock or iGambit Common Stock shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of Clinigence or iGambit as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction (other than the Recapitalization), or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Exchange Ratio and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit iGambit or Clinigence to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.
(g) Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, iGambit, Merger Sub, and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this ARTICLE 3 such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, iGambit, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, iGambit, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.
(h) No Fractional Shares. No fractional iGambit Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of Certificates for exchange, no dividend or distribution with respect to iGambit Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of iGambit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each holder of Clinigence Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share of iGambit Common Stock (after taking into account all Clinigence Common Stock owned by such Person) shall receive, in lieu thereof, such fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.
(i) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Clinigence Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this ARTICLE 3.
3.3 Treatment of Warrants and Other Stock-Based Compensation. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of iGambit, Merger Sub, or Clinigence or the holder of any capital stock of iGambit, Merger Sub, or Clinigence:
(a) Clinigence Stock Options. Each option to acquire shares of Clinigence Common Stock (each, a “Clinigence Stock Option”) that is outstanding under any Clinigence Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, or any other Person, be assumed by iGambit and shall be converted into an iGambit Stock Option in accordance with this Section 3.3(a). Each such iGambit Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Clinigence Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each such iGambit Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall be an option to acquire that number of whole shares of iGambit Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) (the “iGambit Option Shares”) equal to the product of: (i) the number of shares of Clinigence Common Stock subject to such Clinigence Stock Option; and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of iGambit Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of Clinigence Common Stock of such Clinigence Stock Option by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, that the exercise price and the number of shares of iGambit Common Stock subject to the iGambit Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and, in the case of Clinigence Stock Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.
5 |
(b) Clinigence Warrants. Each warrant to acquire shares of Clinigence Common Stock (each, a “Clinigence Warrant”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, or any other Person, be assumed by iGambit and shall be converted into an iGambit Warrant in accordance with this Section 3.3(b). Each such iGambit Warrant as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Clinigence Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each such iGambit Warrant as so assumed and converted shall be a warrant to acquire that number of whole shares of iGambit Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) (the “iGambit Warrant Shares”) equal to the product of: (i) the number of shares of Clinigence Common Stock subject to such Clinigence Warrant; and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of iGambit Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of Clinigence Common Stock of such Clinigence Warrant by (B) the Exchange Ratio.
(c) Clinigence Convertible Debt. To the extent that any convertible Debt of Clinigence is not repaid in full at Closing and holders of such Debt elect to convert such Debt, such Debt shall be deemed to have been converted into shares of Clinigence Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and the holders of such shares of Clinigence Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.2.
(d) Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, that this Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.
(e) Capitalization Certificate. At least five (5) Business Days before the Closing Date, iGambit shall prepare and deliver to Clinigence a certificate (the “Capitalization Certificate”) setting forth, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of the total issued and outstanding iGambit Common Stock on a fully diluted, as-converted basis, calculated in accordance with Section 3.1(b).
(f) Consideration Spreadsheet. At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, Clinigence shall prepare and deliver to iGambit a spreadsheet (the “Consideration Spreadsheet”), certified by the President of Clinigence, which shall set forth, as of the Closing Date and based on the information provided by iGambit in the Capitalization Certificate, (i) each Clinigence Stockholder’s address and, if available to Clinigence, social security number (or tax identification number, if applicable), (ii) the number of shares of Clinigence Common Stock held by such Person, (iii) the respective certificate number(s) representing such shares of Clinigence Common Stock, and (iv) the number of shares of iGambit Common Stock issuable to such Person at the Closing in respect of such Clinigence Common Stock as Merger Consideration in accordance with this ARTICLE 3.
3.4 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any outstanding shares of Clinigence Common Stock held by Persons who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Clinigence Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the
6 |
DGCL, if such Section provides for appraisal rights for such shares in the Merger (“Dissenting Shares”), and as of the Effective Time have neither effectively withdrawn nor lost any right to such appraisal, shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration or any other amounts payable under this ARTICLE 3 attributable to such Dissenting Shares. Such holders of Clinigence Common Stock (the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Clinigence Common Stock held by them in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such Dissenting Stockholders fail to perfect, effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Dissenting Stockholder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal, then as of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, whichever occurs later, such Dissenting Shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable under this ARTICLE 3, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate or Certificates representing such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 3.2. Prior to the Effective Time, Clinigence shall provide iGambit prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal or payment of the fair value of any shares of Clinigence Common Stock, the withdrawal of such demands and any other related instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by Clinigence. Prior to the Effective Time, Clinigence shall provide iGambit the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal or payment of the fair value of any shares of Clinigence Common Stock. Clinigence shall not, except with the prior written consent of iGambit, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or payment of the fair value of any shares of Clinigence Common Stock, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.
ARTICLE 4.
PRE-CLOSING COVENANTS
4.1 Pre-Merger iGambit Recapitalization. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Closing, iGambit shall, and the Signing Stockholder shall cause iGambit to, take the following actions:
(a) Redeem at par value or cancel for no consideration all issued and outstanding shares of iGambit Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that iGambit shall not redeem or cancel the iGambit Series A Preferred Stock more than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date without the prior consent of Clinigence.
(b) Repay or convert in full any outstanding promissory notes issued by iGambit, other than the promissory notes in favor of Clinigence and as specifically set forth on Section 6.3(c) of the iGambit Disclosure Schedule as not being repaid or converted prior to the Closing.

No event or omission has occurred which would cause any such plan to lose its qualification under Section 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, or which would cause the iGambit to incur liability for any excise tax under the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the maintenance, operation, or any other aspect of any such Qualified Plan.

(e) All contributions and premiums that iGambit, any of its Subsidiaries or any iGambit ERISA Affiliate is required to pay under the terms of each of the ERISA Plans and Sections 412, 430 and 431 of the Code, if any, have, to the extent due, been paid in full or properly recorded on the financial statements or records of iGambit or any of its Subsidiaries, and none of the ERISA Plans or any trust established thereunder has incurred any “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 306(a) of ERISA and Section 431 of the Code), or any “unpaid minimum required contribution” (as defined in Section 4971(c) of the Code) whether or not waived, as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of each of the ERISA Plans ended prior to the Signing Date. No lien has been imposed under Section 430(k)(n) of the Code or Section 306(g) of ERISA on the iGambit Assets or any iGambit ERISA Affiliate, and no event or circumstance has occurred that is reasonably likely to result in the imposition of any such lien on any such assets on account of any ERISA Plan.
(f) All contributions or other amounts withheld from any employee’s pay for deposit in a 401(k) plan or for payment of any health or insurance premiums or for any other purpose with respect to an iGambit Plan have been timely deposited or transmitted to an insurance company in accordance with ERISA and applicable Department of Labor regulations and guidance.

The iGambit Business is being conducted in material compliance with all Legal Requirements, including those relating to licensing and Governmental Approvals. Neither iGambit nor any of its Subsidiaries has been subject to a corporate integrity agreement, deferred prosecution agreement, consent decree or settlement agreement with or sanction by any Governmental Authority. If required consents timely are obtained and required notices timely are given, the consummation of the Merger will not adversely affect the reimbursement of iGambit’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ customers by any third party payor.

All Clinigence Facilities and tenant improvements located on
