ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated July 6, 2000 (the Agreement), the Company retained Jacobson Partners, of which Benjamin R. Jacobson, a director of the Company, is the managing general partner, James F. Wilson is a general partner, and George A. Kellner, the Companys Chairman of the Board, is a special advisor, to provide management and financial consulting services. As consideration for the provision of such services to the Company and its Board of Directors, Jacobson Partners will receive an annual fee of $250,000, plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. As additional consideration for such services, the Companys board has approved, subject to shareholder approval the grant to Jacobson Partners of two options to acquire, in the aggregate, up to 557,275 shares of the Companys common stock as described below. The Agreement will continue in effect until terminated by either party upon six months prior written notice.
The Agreement provides that until the second anniversary thereof (July 6, 2002), Jacobson Partners and its affiliates will not acquire Shares in addition to those acquired upon exercise of the options (whether in the open market or in private transactions) (i) having an aggregate purchase price in excess of $2,500,000 or (ii) at the same time the Company would be engaged in a share repurchase agreement. During that two-year period, pursuant to a separate agreement with Childcare Associates and KD Partners II (Company shareholders controlled by George A. Kellner), Jacobson Partners would have the right to acquire Shares owned by such entities to the extent investors in such entities wish to have their pro rata interest in the Shares owned by such entities sold; provided that any shares so purchased by Jacobson Partners would be subject to an irrevocable voting proxy in favor of George A. Kellner.
As noted above, pursuant to the Agreement, the Board of Directors has approved, subject to shareholder approval, the grant to Jacobson Partners (or its affiliates) of the following options:
|
(a) |
Up to 294,117 shares available for purchase, during the first 21 days after shareholder approval of the options, at an exercise price of $8.50 per share (approximately 120% of the 30-day average of the daily closing prices of the Companys stock, on the NASDAQ National Market System, as of June 23, 2000); and |
|
(b) |
Up to 263,158 shares available for purchase, at any time after shareholder approval and prior to the second anniversary of the Agreement, at an exercise price of $9.50 per share (approximately 133% of the 30-day average of the daily closing prices of the Companys stock, on the NASDAQ National Market System, as of June 23, 2000). |
All Shares acquired by Jacobson Partners (or its affiliates) during the first two years of the Agreement, including Shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions, would be subject to registration rights, pursuant to which, until July 6, 2007 (the seventh anniversary of the Agreement), Jacobson Partners would have the right to cause the Company to register, at the Companys expense, its Shares, (a) whenever the Company is otherwise registering Shares (except in certain circumstances) and (b) once, upon demand, at any other time so long as Jacobson Partners has exercised, in full, the two options granted to it under the Agreement and the demand covers at least 25% of the Shares then owned by it.
