ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On December 29, 2000, the Registrant, RealNetworks, Inc., a Washington
corporation ("RealNetworks"), consummated its acquisition of Aegisoft Corp., a
Delaware corporation ("Aegisoft"). The transaction was closed pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") dated
December 29, 2000 by and among RealNetworks, Aegisoft, McKinley Acquisition
Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub"), certain stockholders of Aegisoft,
Ji Shen, as Stockholder Representative, and with respect to Article VI and
Article VIII only, Mellon Investor Services LLC, as Escrow Agent (as defined in
the Merger Agreement). The transaction will be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to
this current report. The description of the Merger Agreement set forth herein
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the
provisions of the Merger Agreement. As a result of the transaction, Aegisoft
became a wholly owned subsidiary of RealNetworks.
The consideration paid to the former equityholders of Aegisoft for all
of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Aegisoft and all rights to
acquire common or preferred stock of Aegisoft as of the date of consummation
consisted of approximately 1,221,305 shares of RealNetworks common stock (the
"Merger Consideration"). In addition, the former equityholders of Aegisoft have
the right to receive up to an additional 300,000 shares of RealNetworks common
stock on the six-month anniversary of the consummation of the merger based on
the value of RealNetworks common stock on such six-month anniversary and the
satisfaction of certain other conditions. The amount of the consideration issued
to the former equityholders of Aegisoft was determined by arms-length
negotiation between the parties. Approximately 15% (183,196 shares of
RealNetworks Common Stock) of the Merger Consideration was placed in escrow on
behalf of the stockholders to secure certain indemnification obligations for a
period of 18 months.
Aegisoft's assets consist of intellectual property, property and
equipment, and other tangible and intangible assets which are used in the
business of developing secure media delivery software.
