On November 16, 2015, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) by and among the Issuer, Fluent Acquisition I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (Merger Sub), Fluent Acquisition II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (Merger Co), Fluent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Fluent) the sellers of the Issuer (Sellers), and the Reporting Person, as the representative of each Seller. The Issuer, Merger Sub, Merger Co, Fluent, the Sellers, and the Reporting Person are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the Parties and each individually as a Party.

The Parties completed the Acquisition (as defined below) (the Closing) on December 9, 2015 to be effective as of December 8, 2015 (the Effective Time). At the Closing, Merger Sub merged with and into Fluent, with Fluent as the surviving entity (the Initial Merger).

Immediately following the Subsequent Merger, Merger Co. changed its name to Fluent, LLC (Fluent LLC).

As consideration for the Acquisition, at Closing, Sellers received from the Issuer:

 

  1. $100.0 million in cash, inclusive of working capital adjustments, held back escrow and reserve amounts and certain payments as set forth in the Merger Agreement of which $1.0 million was held back in connection with any applicable working capital adjustments and $2.0 million was held back in connection with Sellers indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement, and

 

  2. 300,037 shares of the Issuers Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Series B Preferred). Each share of Series B Preferred has automatically converted into 50 shares of the Issuers common stock, par value $0.0005 (the Common Stock, and such shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Shares), on February 22, 2016.

As consideration for the Acquisition, at Closing, the Reporting Person received from the Issuer 156,544 shares of the Issuers Series B Preferred, which converted into 7,827,200 shares of Common Stock on February 22, 2016.

As of the Effective Time, the Issuer increased the board of directors to nine members, and Sellers, by majority vote, designated the Reporting Person and another director to the Issuers board of directors.

As of the Effective Time, in connection with the Merger, the Issuer entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the Stockholders Agreement), with Sellers (including the Reporting Person) and Frost Gamma, James Reilly, Derek Dubner, Marlin Capital Investments, LLC, and Michael Brauser, solely in their respective capacities as principal stockholders of the Issuer, pursuant to which the parties thereto agree to vote in a certain manner on specified matters, including the agreement to vote in favor of each partys duly approved nominees for the Issuers board of directors.

On January 20, 2016, the Reporting Person and Matthew Conlin formed RSMC Partners, LLC (RSMC) and entered into the RSMC Limited Liability Company Agreement (the RSMC Agreement) as members. Pursuant to the RSMC Agreement, the Reporting Person contributed 40,000 shares of his Series B Preferred Stock (the Contributed Shares) in exchange for 2,000,000 Class A Units of RSMC, which represents all of the outstanding Class A Units of RSMC, and 500 Class B Units of RSMC, which represents half of the outstanding Class B Units of RSMC. Matthew Conlin received the other half of the Class B Units of RSMC upon RSMCs formation.

Pursuant to the RSMC Agreement, distributions are made first to the Reporting Person until the Reporting Person has received aggregate distributions equal to the value of the Contributed Shares on the contribution date. The balance of any distributions are made to the Class B Unit holders pro rata. Under the RSMC Agreement, the Reporting Person may not sell or otherwise transfer any Contributed Shares (and underlying Common Stock) without prior unanimous consent of RSMCs members.

Each of the Contributed Shares has automatically converted into 50 shares of the Issuers Common Stock on February 22, 2016. The Contributed Shares may be deemed held by the Reporting Person indirectly as a result of the Reporting Persons membership in RSMC. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by RSMC except to the extent of any pecuniary interest in such shares. The RSMC Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.4 hereto.
