Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Unregistered Sale of Equit
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On February 9, 2009, OmniReliant Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and Abazias Inc., a Delaware corporation (Abazias-Delaware), Abazias, Inc. a Nevada corporation (Abazias-Nevada) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Abazias-Delaware, and Abazias.com, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Abazias-Nevada, entered into an Amended Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Amended Agreement") which amended the Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 3,2008 by and between the Company and Abazias-Delaware and Abazias.com, Inc. A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement was filed with the SEC on Form 8-K on December 9, 2008.
Subsequent to entering into the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company and Abazias-Delaware decided that for federal income tax reasons the transaction as it had been constituted needed to be revised and that instead of purchasing substantially all of the assets of Abazias.com, Inc. in exchange for the 13,001,000 shares of the Preferred Stock, as that term is defined below, to be distributed to the shareholders of Abazias-Delaware, which would have resulted in a taxable transaction for shareholders of Abazias, the Boards of Directors of Abazias and the Company resolved that the Company would acquire Abazias-Delaware, Abazias-Nevada and Abazias.com, Inc., for the Series E Preferred Stock, thus allowing the transaction to qualify as a tax free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In order to effectuate the acquisition the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, OmniReliant Acquisition Sub, Inc. ("OmniReliant Acquisition") into which Abazias-Delaware would merge.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended Agreement Abazias-Delaware and OmniReliant Acquisition shall consummate a merger (the "Merger") pursuant to which (i) the Abazias-Delaware shall be merged with and into OmniReliant Acquisition and the separate corporate existence of Abazias-Delaware shall thereupon cease, (ii) OmniReliant Acquisition shall be the successor or surviving corporation in the Merger and shall continue to be governed by the Laws of the State of Nevada, and (iii) the separate corporate existence of OmniReliant Acquisition with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger. The corporation surviving the Merger is sometimes hereinafter referred to below as the "Surviving Corporation." The Merger shall have the effects set forth under the Laws of the State of Nevada.
The Certificate of Incorporation of OmniReliant Acquisition, as in effect immediately prior to the Merger shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended as provided by Law and such Certificate of Incorporation.
The Bylaws of OmniReliant Acquisition, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, as defined below, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended as provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.
Subject to the provisions of the Amended Agreement, the parties shall (i) file the appropriate Certificate of Merger in such form as is required by and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") and the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") and (ii) make all other filings or recordings required under the NRS and DGCL. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and Delaware, or at such subsequent date or time as the Company and OmniReliant Acquisition agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (such time hereinafter referred to as the "Effective Time").
The directors of the Abazias-Delaware immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of the Abazias-Delaware immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. If at any time after the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation shall determine, in its reasonable discretion, that any actions are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Abazias-Delaware or OmniReliant Acquisition acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out the Amended Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to vest all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement."
As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any shares of common stock of the Abazias-Delaware ("Abazias-Delaware Common Stock"), or of "OmniReliant Acquisition"
(a) Each outstanding share of OmniReliant Acquisition common stock shall remain outstanding and shall constitute the only issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
b) All shares of Abazias-Delaware Common Stock (the "Abazias-Delaware Shares") that are owned by the Abazias-Delaware as treasury stock shall be cancelled and retired, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
(c) Each outstanding Abazias-Delaware Share, other than those set forth in the Amended Agreement shall be converted into the right to receive, and shall be exchangeable for the merger consideration (the "Merger Consideration"). At the Effective Time, all Abazias-Delaware Shares converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Amended Agreement and shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (or, in the case of uncertificated Abazias-Delaware Shares, evidence of such Abazias-Delaware Shares in book-entry form) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Abazias-Delaware Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the shares of outstanding Abazias-Delaware Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of the occurrence or record date of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, . . .
