Item 5. Other events.
On October 26, 1998 the SofTech, Inc. (the "Company") Board of Directors
unanimously approved the issuance of 1,099,948 shares of SofTech common stock,
par value $.10 per share in a private placement to Greenleaf Asset Management
("Greenleaf") in exchange for a $1.5 million bridge loan (the "Loan") and $1.5
million in cash. The Loan was part of a $2.5 million short term financing
agreement extended to the Company by Greenleaf in May 1998 as detailed in Note F
to the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company repaid $1.0
million of the $2.5 million in July 1998. Mr. William Johnston, the President of
Greenleaf and a member of the Company's Board of Directors, abstained from such
vote.
The Loan was converted to equity on October 7, 1998 and the $1.5 million in
additional funds were made available to the Company in two separate increments:
$300,000 on September 29, 1998 and $1,200,000 on October 7, 1998. The conversion
rate was at a discount of 7.7% from the closing bid on each of those dates. The
closing bid on September 29, 1998 was $4.00 and on October 7, 1998 was $2.875.
The Loan conversion and the $1.5 million additional equity financing were made
on a tentative basis pending Board approval at the October 26, 1998 meeting. The
proceeds of this private placement will be utilized by the Company for working
capital purposes.
The Company obtained several proposals from unrelated parties prior to
obtaining the Greenleaf proposal. Management recommended to the Board, and the
Board unanimously approved the Greenleaf proposal (Mr. Johnston abstained from
such vote) as the most attractive equity proposal based on a comparison of the
cost and the dilution of current shareholders that would result from the
alternative transactions.
