On February 7, 2014, Digital Generation, Inc. (the Company or DG) announced that the spin-off and merger transaction has been completed pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 12, 2013 (the Merger Agreement), by and among Extreme Reach Inc. (Extreme Reach), Dawn Blackhawk Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Extreme Reach (Acquisition Sub), and the Company.
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 7, 2014, in connection with the spin-off and merger transaction, the Company terminated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among DG FastChannel, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, guarantors and lenders dated July 26, 2011 (as amended on March 8, 2013 to the Omnibus Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among Digital Generation, Inc., JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, guarantors and lenders dated March 8, 2013).
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On February 7, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Extreme Reach completed the acquisition of DGs television advertising business through the merger of Acquisition Sub with and into DG, with DG continuing after the merger as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Extreme Reach (the Merger). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, (i) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was partially redeemed by conversion into the right to receive one share of common stock of Sizmek Inc. (Sizmek), formerly The New Online Company, a new publicly-traded company and newly-formed subsidiary of the Company containing all of the assets and liabilities of the Companys online advertising business, for each share of the Companys common stock (the per share redemption consideration); and (ii) at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Companys common stock were canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive cash, without interest, in an amount equal to the pro rata portion of the aggregate merger consideration of $485 million, less the payoff and satisfaction of the Companys outstanding debt, equal to $3.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax, for each share of the Companys common stock (the per share merger consideration).
All outstanding stock options and restricted stock units to purchase shares of the Companys common stock were cancelled and converted into the right to receive the per share redemption consideration and the per share merger consideration, less, in the case of stock options, the exercise price thereof, without interest.
Extreme Reach then acquired the remainder of the Companys business, the television advertising business, in a cash merger pursuant to which, at the effective time of the Merger, Acquisition Sub merged with and into the Company. The Company survives the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Extreme Reach.
The foregoing description of the spin-off and merger transaction and the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on August 13, 2013, and incorporated herein by reference.
