AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of March 1, 2019 (this “Amendment”), by and among CONVERSIONPOINT TECHNOLOGIES INC., a Delaware corporation (“CPT”), CONVERSIONPOINT HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of CPT (“Parent”), CPT MERGER SUB, INC., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“CPT Merger Sub”), INUVO, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Inuvo”), and CPT CIGAR MERGER SUB, INC., a Nevada corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Inuvo Merger Sub”). Each capitalized term used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment has the meaning given to such term in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, CPT, Inuvo, Parent, CPT Merger Sub and Inuvo Merger Sub are Parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 2, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.7 of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement may be amended by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties;
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Merger Agreement as set forth in this Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of each Party have each determined unanimously that it is in the best interests of their respective corporations and stockholders that the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement be amended.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
Section 1.Amendments to Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement is hereby amended as set forth below in this Section 1.
a.Amendment to Definition of Inuvo Exchange Ratio. The definition of Inuvo Exchange Ratio present in Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
““Inuvo Exchange Ratio” means 0.18877; provided, however, that in the event of any Post Execution Date Inuvo Stock Issuances, the Inuvo Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted by taking the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be allocated to Inuvo stockholders and holders of Inuvo RSUs that vest and convert into shares of Inuvo Common Stock (ignoring the impact of any Dissenting Shares), which is 6,432,800 shares of Parent Common Stock, and dividing that amount by the sum of (i)(A) the number of shares of Inuvo Common Stock outstanding as of the Execution Date plus (B) the number of shares of Inuvo Common Stock to be issued upon the vesting of Inuvo RSUs (which (A) and (B) totals 34,025,365 as of November 1, 2018), and (ii) the amount of the Post Execution Date Inuvo Stock Issuance. By way of example; if the Post Execution Date Inuvo Stock Issuances equal 2,000,000 shares of Inuvo Common Stock, the Inuvo Exchange Ratio would be adjusted to equal 0.17856 calculated as follows: 6,432,800 / (34,025,365 + 2,000,000) = 0.17856.”
b.Amendment to Definition of Inuvo Option Exchange Ratio. The definition of Inuvo Option Exchange Ratio present in Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“”Inuvo Option Exchange Ratio” means 0.2370; provided, however, that in the event of any Post Execution Date Inuvo Stock Issuances, the Inuvo Option Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted by calculating the percentage change in the Inuvo Exchange Ratio and then applying the same percentage change to the Inuvo Option Exchange Ratio, resulting in an adjustment to the Inuvo Option Exchange Ratio equal to the same percentage change in the Inuvo Exchange Ratio.”
c.Amendment to Section 1.1. A definition of “Post Execution Date Inuvo Stock Issuance” shall be included in Section 1.1 as follows:
““Post Execution Date Inuvo Stock Issuance” has the meaning set forth in Section 6.2(b) of this Agreement.”
d.Amendment to Section 5.2(a). Section 5.2(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
“The authorized capital stock of Inuvo consists of 40,000,000 shares of Inuvo Common Stock and 500,000 shares of Inuvo Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of the Execution Date, (i) 32,383,916 shares of Inuvo Common Stock were issued and outstanding, (ii) no shares of Inuvo Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, (iii) 376,527 shares of Inuvo Common Stock were held in treasury, (iv) 3,573,183 shares of Inuvo Common Stock were reserved for issuance under the Inuvo Stock Plans (including shares of Inuvo Common Stock authorized and reserved for future issuance upon exercise of outstanding awards issued under the Inuvo Stock Plans), including 264,246 shares of Inuvo Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Inuvo Stock Options and 1,641,449 shares of Inuvo Common Stock issuable upon vesting of Inuvo RSUs outstanding. To the Knowledge of Inuvo, as of the date hereof, no Person owns ten percent (10%) or more of Inuvo’s issued and outstanding shares of Inuvo Common Stock (calculated based on the assumption that all securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into any capital stock or other equity securities of Inuvo, whether or not presently exercisable or convertible, have been fully exercised or converted (as the case may be) taking account of any limitations on exercise or conversion (including “blockers”) contained therein without conceding that such identified Person is a ten percent (10%) stockholder for purposes of federal securities laws).”
e.Amendment to Section 5.20. Section 5.20 is hereby amended to add the following sentence at the end of such section:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Post Execution Date Inuvo Stock Issuances, nor any placement agent, underwriter or other similar or related agreements entered into by Inuvo in connection with such Post Execution Date Inuvo Stock Issuances shall be deemed a breach of this Section 5.20.”
f.Amendment to Section 6.1(b). Section 6.1(b) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
“issue, sell, pledge, dispose of, grant, encumber, or agree to issue, sell, pledge, dispose of, grant or encumber any shares of any class of capital stock of CPT or any of its Subsidiaries, or any options, warrants or rights of any kind to acquire any shares of, their capital stock of any class or any debt or equity securities convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock, except that CPT may issue (i) up to 500,000 shares of CPT Common Stock, at a price per share of not less than $9.21, in the ordinary course of current securities offerings being conducted by CPT, (ii) up to 25,657 shares of CPT Common Stock issuable upon exercise of CPT Convertible Notes outstanding on the Execution Date, (iii) CPT Common Stock upon exercise of CPT Stock Options and CPT Warrants outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with their present terms, (iv) 85,684 shares of CPT Common Stock in connection with certain commitments of CPT (collectively (i) – (iv), the “Post Execution Date CPT Stock Issuances”), (v) Warrants to purchase up to 130,000 shares of CPT Common Stock at an exercise price per share of not less than $9.21, or (vi) Warrants to purchase up to 55,693 shares of CPT Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $7.50;”
