Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On March 20, 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger, dated as of March 20, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, OA Acquisition Corp., a Virginia corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Apex Systems, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Apex Systems”) and Jeffrey E. Veatch, as the representative of the shareholders of Apex Systems (the “Shareholder Representative). Additional information on the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is set forth in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 26, 2012.

On May 15, 2012, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into Apex Systems, with Apex Systems surviving the merger and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 14,304,528 shares of Common Stock to the holders of shares of Apex Systems common stock and options to purchase shares of common stock of Apex Systems immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (“former Apex Systems shareholders”).

Additional information about the Merger, including a description of Apex Systems, the former Apex Systems shareholders from whom Apex Systems was acquired by the Company in the Merger and relationships between such shareholders and the Company and any of its officers, directors and/or affiliates, and other information, was filed previously in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A by the Company on April 13,

CUSIP No. 682159108    Page 6 of 11

 

2012, which was mailed to shareholders of the Company on or about April 16, 2012. Additional information on the closing of the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby is set forth in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 15, 2012.

On May 15, 2012, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 12,134,687 shares of Common Stock to the Reporting Persons, who were former Apex Systems shareholders, as part of the merger consideration as follows:

      3,730,230   

Theodore S. Hanson

      683,082   

Randolph C. Blazer

      260,915   

The shares of Common Stock were issued to the Reporting Persons in exchange for their shares of Apex Systems common stock in the Merger. None of the Reporting Persons used any funds for the purchase of such shares of Common Stock received in the Merger.

Of the shares of Common Stock set forth in the table above, in connection with the closing of the Merger and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, each of the Reporting Persons deposited the following number of shares of Common Stock into an escrow account to be used, if necessary, for certain indemnification obligations and working capital adjustments:

Theodore S. Hanson

      53,448   

Randolph C. Blazer

      20,134   

To the extent that these shares of Company Common Stock are used to satisfy the obligations referred to above, such shares of Company Common Stock will be returned to the Company and will reduce the number of shares owned by the Reporting Persons.

The foregoing references to and description of the Merger Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 1 hereto and is incorporated by reference to this Item 3.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 are incorporated herein by reference.

Investor Rights Agreement

On May 15, 2012, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into an Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of May 15, 2012 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), with the Shareholder Representative and the former Apex Systems shareholders and option holders. The Investor Rights Agreement imposes certain restrictions on, and provides certain rights to, the former Apex Systems shareholders and option holders, in particular with respect to the shares of Common Stock they received in connection with the Merger.

The Investor Rights Agreement provides that the Shareholder Representative will have the right to designate two nominees for election to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) for so long as Brian J. Callaghan, Edwin A. Sheridan, IV and Jeffrey E. Veatch ( the “Founders”) own in the aggregate at least 17% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and one nominee if the Founders own in the aggregate less than 17% but more than 10% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock; provided that if the former Apex Systems shareholders collectively sell more than 5,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the initial registration described below, then the 17% referred to in this paragraph will be reduced to a percentage equal to the percentage of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock held in the aggregate by the Founders upon the closing of the sale of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the initial registration minus 0.5%. The

CUSIP No. 682159108    Page 7 of 11

 

remaining members of the Board will be nominated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. At each meeting of Company shareholders following the completion of the Merger at which directors of the Company are to be elected, the Company has agreed to nominate for election to the Board and recommend that the shareholders elect to the Board each of the Shareholder Representative’s designees, subject to certain limitations to comply with law or if a nominee is deemed to be unfit to serve as a director of a publicly traded company or otherwise does not meet applicable eligibility criteria in any material respect.

In connection with the closing of the Merger and as contemplated by the Investor Rights Agreement the Shareholder Representative designated Brian J. Callaghan and Edwin A. Sheridan, IV as nominees to the Board and Jeffrey E. Veatch as the Non Executive Observer to the Board. Effective upon the closing of the Merger on May 15, 2012, Mr. Callaghan and Mr. Sheridan were appointed as new Class III members of the Board, with terms expiring at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company to be held in 2013.

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Apex Systems shareholders who became Company shareholders pursuant to the Merger have certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Merger. Subject to certain exceptions, within 45 days of the closing of the Merger, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect, as soon as reasonably possible, the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to an underwritten offering under a shelf registration statement, of the shares of Company Common Stock issued to certain former Apex Systems shareholders in connection with the Merger. Following the six-month anniversary of the closing or withdrawal of the initial registration, any of the Founders may require the Company to register shares of Company Common Stock issued to the Apex Systems shareholders in connection with the Merger for resale under the Securities Act in an underwritten offering or pursuant to block trades. The Founders may exercise this demand registration right on up to three occasions. These demand registration rights will be subject to customary conditions and limitations. In addition, if the Company proposes to register any securities under the Securities Act, each Apex Systems shareholder who became a Company shareholder pursuant to the Merger must receive notice of the registration and may include its shares of Company Common Stock in the registration. These “piggyback registration” rights are subject to customary conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares included in such registration and the Company’s right not to effect a requested registration.

On May 22, 2012, the Company filed a resale shelf registration statement that covers the resale of the shares of Company Common Stock received by the Reporting Persons and certain former Apex Systems shareholders in the Merger.

From the date of the closing of the Merger to the third anniversary of the closing of the Merger, the Founders may not transfer their shares of Company Common Stock without the written consent of the Company; provided that if the Founders are in breach of their non-competition agreements with the Company during such period, then the end of the lockup period for such Founder will be extended to the third anniversary of the last such breach under the non-competition agreement. So long as a Founder has not breached his non-competition agreement with the Company, the Founder may transfer (a) shares of Company Common Stock in a registration effected in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement, (b) shares of Company Common Stock to certain permitted transferees, provided that certain conditions are satisfied, or (c) up to $7.0 million of shares of Company Common Stock per year pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan to be established by such Founder.

In addition, without the Company’s prior written consent, Randolph C. Blazer and Theodore S. Hanson (“Senior Executive Holders”) are not permitted to Transfer any shares of Company Common Stock during the period commencing on the closing of the Merger and ending on the third anniversary of the closing of the Merger. In the event that a Senior Executive Holder’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries terminates for any reason at any time during the three-year period, then the end of lockup period will be extended to the date that is the third anniversary of the date of the termination. Also, if a Senior Executive Holder is in breach of his non-competition agreement with the Company at any time during the three-year period, then the end of lockup period for such Senior Executive Holder will be extended to the date that is the third anniversary of the last breach. So long as a Senior Executive Holder has not breached his non-competition agreement with the Company,

 

  •  

pursuant to the initial registration effected in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement, a Senior Executive Founder may transfer up to a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to 30% of the shares of Company Common Stock issued to such Senior Executive Holder pursuant to the Merger Agreement;

CUSIP No. 682159108    Page 8 of 11

 

 

  •  

after the closing or withdrawal of the initial registration effected in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement, a Senior Executive Holder may transfer up to a number of shares of Company Common Stock issued to the Senior Executive Holder pursuant to the Merger Agreement equal to (A) one-third of such shares of Company Common Stock after the first anniversary of the closing of the Merger, (B) two-thirds of such shares of Company Common Stock after the second anniversary of the closing of the Merger and (C) all of such shares of Company Common Stock after the third anniversary of the closing of the Merger; and

 

  •  

a Senior Executive Holder may transfer shares of Company Common Stock to certain permitted transferees provided that certain conditions are satisfied.

The Founders will vote all of their shares of Company Common Stock in support of the Board Directors. In addition, on all other matters to be voted on by shareholders of the Company for the first 12 months after the closing of the Merger, the Founders will vote their shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the recommendations of the Board or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in the same proportions as all other shares of Company Common Stock that are voted on such matter. The Founders will also be present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of the shareholders of the Company so that all such shares owned by the Founders may be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings. These restrictions on voting will remain in effect until the date on which the Founders own less than 10.0% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock.

So long as the Founders hold greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the Shareholder Representative will have the right to appoint to the Board three observers, who must be reasonably acceptable to the Company. At any time the Shareholder Representative is entitled to designate only one person for nomination for election to the Board, then the observers must include two of the Founders designated by the Shareholder Representative (any such Founder, a “non-executive observer”). Following the Merger, the initial observers are Randolph C. Blazer and Theodore S. Hanson, and Jeffrey E. Veatch is the non-executive observer. Each observer will be able to attend all meetings of the Board, subject to certain restrictions as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement.

The foregoing references to and description of the Investor Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Investor Rights Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2 hereto and is incorporated by reference to this Item 4.

The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Company Common Stock in the Merger for investment purposes. Subject to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, depending upon market conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Persons, acquire other shares of Company Common Stock. Subject to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to, and may in the future choose to, change their purpose with respect to the investment and take such actions as they deem appropriate in light of the circumstances including, without limitation, to dispose of, in the open market, in a privately negotiated transaction, by transfer, by exchange or by gift, all or a portion of the shares of Company Common Stock which they now own or may hereafter acquire from the Company.

  (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;
