|
|||
Assets
Proposed to be Sold to FUSA
|
We
are proposing to sell to FUSA substantially all of our assets, properties
and intellectual property rights used in connection with the operation of
our business, excluding (i) our cash, restricted cash and cash
equivalents, (ii) our accounts receivable, (iii) our marketable
securities, (iv) our website and (v) our insurance policies.
As
consideration for the sale of substantially all of our assets to FUSA, on
the closing date of the Asset Sale (the “Closing Date”) we will receive
(a) $2,100,000, which is our portion of the Cash Purchase Price, in
addition to $200,000 which was previously paid to us as the exclusivity
fee, of which $1,650,000 will be paid to us on the Closing Date, $375,000
will be paid to us on April 1, 2010 and $75,000 will be paid to us on
April 1, 2011, and (b) our share of the Royalty Payments (as defined
below). In addition, of the portion of the Cash Purchase Price being paid
to NQCI, per the agreement of the Sellers, $1,871,430 is being paid to
satisfy our liability to NQCI for NQCI’s attorneys’ fees and costs awarded
by the arbitrator pursuant to the terms of the Partial Final Award issued
on April 13, 2009.
FUSA
will purchase our only business segment, which consists of the business
related to our extra-corporeal platform
and development of any products to be derived
therefrom.
|
|||
Liabilities
Assumed by FUSA
|
FUSA
will not assume any of the Sellers’ liabilities incurred prior to the
closing date of the transactions contemplated under the Asset Purchase
Agreement.
|
|||
Restrictions
on Our Ability to Solicit Third Party Proposals; Ability to enter into a
Superior Proposal
|
Subject
to certain fiduciary out exceptions, the Asset Purchase Agreement contains
restrictions on our ability to solicit third party proposals and on our
ability to provide information and engage in discussions and negotiations
with unsolicited third parties.
|
|||
Conditions
to the Closing of the Asset Sale
|
The
obligations of the parties to complete the Asset Sale are subject to
certain conditions,
including:
|
·
|
that
the representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in the Asset
Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all respects as of the date of
the Asset Purchase Agreement and as of the Closing
Date,
|
|
·
|
the
approval of the Asset Sale by each of the Seller’s stockholders holding
the majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Seller (the
“Stockholder Approvals”);
|
|
·
|
that
certain third party consents are obtained by the
Sellers;
|
|
·
|
that
no Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) shall have occurred with
respect to the Assets or, recognizing the constraints of the Sellers’
financial situation, the Business since the date of the Asset Purchase
Agreement and no fact or circumstance shall have occurred or arisen since
the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement that would reasonably be expected
to have such a Material Adverse Effect;
|
|
·
|
that
the Research Agreement shall have been validly assigned to FUSA and the
exclusive license for use of the Supersorbent Technology in any and all
medical applications, as contemplated by the Research Agreement, shall
have been executed and delivered to FUSA; and
|
|
·
|
certain
other customary conditions.
|
|
Termination
of the Asset Purchase Agreement
|
The
Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated under certain
circumstances, including:
|
|
·
|
by
the mutual agreement of FUSA and the Sellers;
|
|
·
|
by
the Sellers or FUSA if any governmental authority shall have issued a
final order, decree or ruling or taken any other action, which has the
effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
transactions contemplated under the Asset Purchase
Agreement;
|
|
·
|
by
the Sellers if the board of directors of any Seller determines in good
faith that it has received a Superior Proposal (as defined below) and that
it is required to terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement in order to
comply with its fiduciary duties, and otherwise complies with certain
terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement;
|
|
·
|
by
FUSA if the Stockholder Approvals have not been obtained on or before
February 28, 2010; and
|
|
·
|
subject
to certain limitations, by FUSA or any Seller, if the closing has not
occurred on or before February 28, 2010 and the Asset Purchase Agreement
has not previously been terminated.
|
|
In
connection with the termination as a result of any Seller proceeding with
a Superior Proposal, contemporaneously with the closing of a transaction
contemplated by a Superior Proposal, such terminating Seller shall be
obligated to pay a termination fee of $2,500,000 to FUSA. In the event
such terminating Seller is the Company, the Company also agreed to
reimburse FUSA for, among other things, all of its reasonably incurred
development expenses in connection with the provision of the Services (as
defined below) by certain personnel of the Company to
FUSA.
|
||
Payment
of Expenses
|
All
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Asset Sale shall be
paid by the party incurring such expenses.
|
|
Material
Income Tax Consequences of the Asset Sale
|
We
believe that we will not incur any material federal or state income taxes
as a result of the Asset Sale because of our net operating loss carry
forwards and our basis in the assets being sold exceeds the sale proceeds
that will be received from
FUSA.
|
Payment
of a Portion of the Transaction Proceeds to NQCI
|
Pursuant
to the terms of the Binding Memorandum of Understanding, dated as of
August 7, 2009 (the “Memorandum”), the Sellers agreed to mutually
cooperate in order for us to consummate a transaction involving an
exclusive license and/or sale to a third party (the “Proposed
Transaction”) of a part, substantially all or all of our technology and
other intellectual property rights licensed to us by NQCI under the
License Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2006, and which transaction
also contemplated an arrangement with respect to the Polymer Technology
(herein referred to as “supersorbent”) (the “Licensed Technology”), or any
other transaction (a “Transaction”) involving the sale, license or other
disposition by us of a part, substantially all or all of the Licensed
Technology. The Sellers further agreed that upon the consummation of a
Proposed Transaction, they will allocate any license fees and any other
additional consideration received in such transaction between the Sellers
under the terms of the Partial Final Award (as defined
below).
Pursuant
to the terms of the Memorandum and subject to the terms of the Asset
Purchase Agreement, NQCI was entitled to receive (i) 36.96% of the cash
proceeds to be received by us in a Proposed Transaction (which amount is
intended to represent an amount equal to 39% of the net royalty payments
provided for by the terms of the Partial Final Award issued on April 13,
2009 by the arbitrator in the arbitration proceeding between the Sellers
and NQCI (the “Partial Final Award”)), following the deduction therefrom
of our expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed Transaction, plus
$1,871,430 in attorneys’ fees and costs payable by us to NQCI pursuant to
the terms of the Partial Final Award, and (ii) 39% of any other
consideration to be received by us in connection with a Proposed
Transaction.
Therefore,
pursuant to the terms of the Memorandum, pursuant to the terms of the
Asset Purchase Agreement, NQCI will receive $5,700,000 of the Cash
Purchase Price, $1,871,430 is being paid to satisfy our liability to NQCI
for NQCI’s attorneys’ fees and costs awarded by the arbitrator pursuant to
the terms of the Partial Final Award, and shall be entitled to receive 40%
of any HD WAK Royalty and 60% of any Supersorbent Royalty payments. For a
more detailed discussion of the payment arrangements between the Sellers
in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, see “Proposal No. 1:
Approval of the Asset Sale — Description of the Arbitration Proceeding and
Other Transactions Entered Into With NQCI; Payment of a Portion of the
Aggregate Consideration Under the Asset Purchase Agreement to
NQCI.”
|
Plan
of Liquidation
|
The
consummation of the Plan of Liquidation is contingent upon our
stockholders approving the Plan of Liquidation. For detailed information
regarding the Plan of Liquidation, see “Proposal No. 2: Approval of the
Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution.” A copy of the Plan of Liquidation is
attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex C.
|
|
If our stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation, but the Asset Sale is not approved or is not consummated, we will not present the Liquidating Trust Agreement Proposal for a vote of our stockholders at the Special Meeting and will move forward with our dissolution. If this occurs, our Board of Directors will be authorized to sell and liquidate our Assets, on such terms and to such parties as the Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion without requiring further stockholder approval. We do not have any agreement or understanding with any party with respect to the sale of any or all of our assets if the Asset Sale is not approved or if the Asset Sale is not consummated. | ||
Modification
or Abandonment of the Plan of Liquidation
|
Our
Board of Directors may modify, amend or abandon the Plan of Liquidation,
notwithstanding stockholder approval, to the extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). We will not
amend the Plan of Liquidation under circumstances that would require
additional stockholder solicitations without complying with applicable
law.
|
Liquidating
Trust
|
Subject
to stockholder approval of the Asset Sale, the Plan of Liquidation and the
Liquidating Trust Agreement, the consummation of the Asset Sale and
our Board of Directors not amending or abandoning our Plan of Liquidation,
we anticipate transferring to the Liquidating Trust all of our Remaining
Assets, including our share of any Royalty Payments and our rights to the
Option, and Remaining Liabilities. Prior to the mailing of this Proxy
Statement, our Board of Directors approved the terms of the Liquidating
Trust Agreement, in the form attached to this Proxy Statement as
Annex C.
|
We
anticipate establishing the Liquidating Trust contemporaneously with the
closing of the Asset Sale. The term of the Liquidating Trust will be 3
years (subject to extension under certain circumstances) and the interests
in the trust will be non-transferable, subject to certain exceptions as
required by law. Kelly J. McCrann, our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, or his affiliate will be the trustee of the Liquidating Trust
(the “Trustee”) and will receive certain compensation for such services,
as more fully discussed under Proposal No. 3. We anticipate that such
transfer to the Liquidating Trust will be made as soon as practicable
after the closing of the Asset Sale. For detailed information regarding
the terms of the Liquidating Trust, see “Proposal No. 3: Approval of
the Liquidating Trust Agreement.”
|
||
Anticipated
Timing and Projected Amount of Transfer to the Liquidating
Trust
|
Subject
to stockholder approval of the Asset Sale, the Plan of Liquidation and the
Liquidating Trust Agreement, the consummation of the Asset Sale, our
Board of Directors not amending or abandoning our Plan of Liquidation and
satisfaction of our and the Liquidating Trust’s liabilities and expenses,
we anticipate that the Trustee will make distribution(s) of the
liquidation proceeds from the Liquidating Trust, if any, upon the receipt
of any Royalty Payments to be paid to us by FUSA.
As
of the date hereof, we are unable to estimate what the value of the
liquidation proceeds from the Royalty Payments per share of our
common stock outstanding as of the Record Date would be. The actual
distribution amount(s), if any, will be determined and the final
distribution, if any, will be made by the Trustee in his sole discretion
after the realization over-time of the cash value of our share of any
Royalty Payments and any value we may realize from our rights to the
Option, and settlement and satisfaction of all of our and the Liquidating
Trust’s liabilities and expenses. NONE OF THE CASH PROCEEDS FROM
THE ASSET SALE WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS IN LIGHT OF THE
FACT THAT CURRENTLY OUR TOTAL LIABILITES AND OBLIGATIONS SIGNIFICANTLY
EXCEED OUR TOTAL ASSETS. However, our Board of Directors
believes that the approval of all three proposals, increases the
possibility that we will be able to distribute some liquidation proceeds
from the Liquidating Trust to our stockholders, including our share of any
Royalty Payments and our rights to the
Option.
|
Q:
|
What
is the purpose of the Special
Meeting?
|
A:
|
At
the Special Meeting, our stockholders will consider and vote on the
following proposals:
|
1.
|
to
approve the sale (the “Asset Sale”) of substantially all of our assets
(the “Assets”) pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of
December 14, 2009, entered into by and among FUSA, Xcorporeal, Operations
and NQCI, in the form attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A (the
“Asset Sale Proposal”);
|
2.
|
to
approve our voluntary dissolution and liquidation pursuant to a Plan of
Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation”), attached to this
Proxy Statement as Annex B (the “Plan of Liquidation Proposal”). For a
detailed discussion of the Plan of Liquidation, see “Proposal No. 2:
Approval of the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution — Principal Provisions
of the Plan of
Liquidation”;
|
3.
|
to
approve the Liquidating Trust Agreement (the “Liquidating Trust
Agreement”), attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex C, providing for,
among other things, in the event that the Asset Sale and the Plan of
Liquidation are approved by our stockholders and the Asset Sale is
subsequently consummated, the transfer of all of our assets remaining
after the Asset Sale, including rights to certain payments and the Option
under the Asset Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Remaining Assets”),
together with all of our liabilities and obligations remaining prior to
such transfer (the “Remaining Liabilities”), to the Liquidating Trust
and our resulting complete liquidation and dissolution contemplated
by the Plan of Liquidation (the “Liquidating Trust Agreement Proposal”).
The transfer of all of our Remaining Assets and Remaining Liabilities to
the Liquidating Trust pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation will be
contingent upon approval by our stockholders of the Asset Sale, the Plan
of Liquidation, the Liquidating Trust Agreement and the subsequent
consummation of the Asset Sale. For a more detailed discussion of the Plan
of Liquidation, see “Proposal No. 2: Approval of the Plan of Liquidation
and Dissolution — Principal Provisions of the Plan of Liquidation” and
Proposal No. 3: Approval of the Liquidating Trust
Agreement”;
|
4.
|
to
approve any proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date to
solicit additional proxies in favor of the approval of the Asset Sale
Proposal, the Plan of Liquidation Proposal or the Liquidating Trust
Agreement Proposal, if there are insufficient votes for approval of any
such proposals at the time of the Special Meeting (the “Adjournment
Proposal”); and
|
5.
|
to
transact such other business as may properly come before the Special
Meeting and any adjournment or postponement
thereof.
|
Q:
|
What
is our Board of Directors’ recommendation with respect to the Asset Sale
Proposal, the Plan of Liquidation Proposal, the Liquidating Trust
Agreement Proposal and the Adjournment
Proposal?
|
A:
|
Our
Board of Directors (the “Board of
Directors”):
|
·
|

Q:
|
What
is Xcorporeal’s current business?
|
A:
|
We
are a medical device company that has been engaged in developing an
innovative
extra-corporeal platform technology to be used in devices to

Disease, or “ESRD”; and
|
|
·
|
A
Wearable Artificial Kidney, or “WAK”, for continuous ambulatory
hemodialysis for treatment of ESRD
|
Q:
|
What
assets are we proposing to sell?
|
A:
|
We
are proposing to sell to FUSA substantially all of our assets consisting
of our assets, properties, intellectual property and intellectual property
rights used in connection with the operation of our business, excluding
the Remaining Assets, which consist of our (i) cash, restricted cash and
cash equivalents, (ii) accounts receivable, (iii) marketable securities
and (iv) website.
|
Q:
|
Why
has the Board of Directors recommended the Asset Sale, the Plan of
Liquidation and the Liquidating Trust
Agreement?
|
A:
|
The
deterioration of the economy over the last 18 months and the economic
conditions particularly affecting development-stage health care related
companies, coupled with the prolonged delay in reaching a resolution with
respect to the arbitration proceeding with NQCI commenced in December 2006
(the “Arbitration”) and the consummation of the Technology Transaction (as
defined below) has significantly adversely affected us. Many of the
expectations on which we had based our 2008 and 2009 business development
plans slowly eroded as a result of the lengthy Arbitration which continued
into the second quarter of 2009. The possibility of an adverse decision in
the Arbitration with respect to our ownership right to the Technology (as
defined below) was a major factor in our inability to secure debt or
equity financing. Accordingly, we have had to modify or curtail our
activities and business operations. In addition, in response to the
general economic downturn affecting the development of our products and
liquidity condition, we instituted a variety of measures in an attempt to
conserve cash and reduce our operating expenses. As a result and after
making several attempts to identify and implement a business plan that
could be successful over the long term and an exhaustive search for a
strategic and product development partner, our Board of Directors
determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and our
stockholders to (i) enter into the Asset Purchase Agreement with FUSA and
consummate the Asset Sale, (ii) dissolve and liquidate the Company
pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, including subject to the approval by
our stockholders of the Asset Sale, the Plan of Liquidation and the
Liquidating Trust Agreement and the consummation of the Asset Sale,
transfer all of our Remaining Assets and Remaining Liabilities to the
Liquidating Trust. After an extensive review of a range of strategic
alternatives for the Company, including our continuing the Company as an
independent entity, exploring potential mergers and acquisitions and any
possible financing arrangements and expending considerable efforts to
maximize the value of our assets, the Board of Directors believes that the
Asset Purchase Agreement presents the best offer for the sale of the
Assets and maximizes stockholder value and our Board of Directors
recommends the Asset Sale to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors also
determined that the Plan of Liquidation was the most advantageous plan for
the dissolution and liquidation of the Company and that the
establishment of the Liquidating Trust provides the best vehicle to carry
out our liquidation after the consummation of the Asset Sale, and
therefore, approved and recommends the Plan of Liquidation and Liquidating
Trust Agreement to our stockholders. See “Proposal No. 1: Approval of the
Sale of Substantially All of the Assets of the Company – History of the
Asset Sale”, “Proposal No. 2: Approval of the Plan of Liquidation and
Dissolution ─ Background and Reasons for the
Proposed Liquidation and Dissolution” and “Proposal No. 3: Approval
of the Liquidating Trust
Agreement.”
|
Q:
|
Who is the buyer in the Asset
Sale?
|
A:
|
The
buyer is Fresenius USA, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. Fresenius
Medical Care is the world's largest integrated provider of products and
services for individuals undergoing dialysis because of chronic kidney
failure, a condition that affects more than 1,770,000 individuals
worldwide. Fresenius Medical Care is a part of Fresenius SE, a global
health care group with products and services for dialysis, the hospital
and the medical care of patients at home. The principal offices of
Fresenius Medical Care North America are located at 920 Winter Street,
Waltham, MA 02451-1457. The telephone number of Fresenius North America is
(781) 699-9000.
|
Q:
|
What are the expected proceeds
and other consideration to be received from the Asset
Sale?
|
A:
|
Pursuant
to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the aggregate cash consideration (the
“Cash Purchase Price”) that will be paid by FUSA to the Sellers on the
Closing Date is $8,000,000, $200,000 which was previously paid to us as an
exclusivity fee, $3,800,000 of which will be paid on the closing date of
the Asset Sale (the “Closing Date”), $2,000,000 will be paid on April 1,
2010 and $2,000,000 will be paid on April 1, 2011. $2,300,000 is our
portion of the Cash Purchase Price, of which $200,000 was previously paid
to us as the exclusivity fee, $1,650,000 will be paid to us on the
Closing Date, $375,000 will be payable to us on April 1, 2010 and $75,000
will be payable to us on April 1, 2011. Of the Cash Purchase Price being
paid to NQCI, per the agreement of the Sellers, $1,871,430 will be
paid to satisfy our liability to NQCI for NQCI’s attorneys’ fees and costs
awarded by the arbitrator pursuant to the terms of the Partial Final Award
issued on April 13, 2009.
|
Q:
|
How
was the amount of the aggregate consideration to be received in the Asset
Sale determined?
|
A:
|
The
Board of Directors organized a process in connection with the sale of the
Company or the Assets in order to maximize the net proceeds of any sale
transaction. The Board of Directors hired William Blair & Company, a
nationally-recognized investment bank and financial advisor (“William
Blair”), to broadly canvass the market with a view towards identifying all
possible acquirers of the Company or the Assets. William Blair and Synergy
Partners (a Pacific Rim investment banker and agent) approached
approximately 65 potential investors, partners and/or acquirers,
worldwide, to determine their level of interest in the Company’s
operations and technology. Once we and William Blair had identified those
parties with an interest in discussing a possible transaction, we engaged
in concurrent discussions with all such parties as a way of validating and
maximizing the purchase price, or potential economics of partnering to
further develop the Company’s technology and bringing related products to
market. In order to create an informal “auction” environment, we let each
prospective acquirer know that discussions with other parties were
taking place. In connection with these discussions, we made available to
the prospective acquirers information related to us necessary for the
conduct of their due diligence including, without limitation, publicly
available information, analyst reports, market data and relevant
publications highlighting the Company’s activities and accomplishments. In
addition, we evaluated partnering with certain strategic parties while
potentially selling certain of our assets to other parties worldwide. In
the case of FUSA, the negotiations involved considerable focus on the sale
of substantially all of the Assets. FUSA did not express any
interest in acquiring the equity of the Company. As the Company’s product
development has been focused on ultimately commercializing a hemodialyis
device for chronically ill patients to treat themselves at home, based
upon FUSA’s expertise in hemodialysis and its desire to develop a device
that can be marketed for home use for chronically ill dialysis patients,
FUSA recognized the potential value in the Company’s
technology.
|
Q:
|
When
will the Asset Sale be completed?
|
A:
|
The
Asset Purchase Agreement provides that we must satisfy certain conditions
before the Asset Sale will close including, without limitation, (i) that
the representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in the Asset
Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all respects as of the date of
the Asset Purchase Agreement and as of the Closing Date, (ii) the
requirement to obtain the approval of the Asset Sale by each of the
Seller’s stockholders holding the majority of the outstanding voting
securities of such Seller (the “Stockholder Approvals”), (iii) that
certain third party consents are obtained by the Sellers, (iv) that no
Material Adverse Effect (as defined below) shall have occurred with
respect to the Assets or, recognizing the constraints of the Sellers’
financial situation, the Business since the date of the Asset Purchase
Agreement and no fact or circumstance shall have occurred or arisen since
the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement that would reasonably be expected
to have such a Material Adverse Effect, (v) that the Research Agreement
shall have been validly assigned to FUSA and the exclusive license for use
of the Supersorbent Technology in any and all medical applications, as
contemplated by the Research Agreement, shall have been executed and
delivered to FUSA, and (vi) certain other customary conditions. Subject to
the satisfaction of the closing conditions, we expect to consummate the
Asset Sale on or before February 28, 2010. We anticipate that the Asset
Sale will close soon after our stockholders approve the Asset Sale, if
they do.
|
Q:
|
What
will happen if the Asset Sale, the Plan of Liquidation and the Liquidating
Trust Agreements are approved?
|
Q:
|
What
will happen if the Asset Sale is not approved but the Plan of Liquidation
is approved?
|
A:
|
If
our stockholders approve the Plan of Liquidation, but the Asset Sale is
not approved or is not consummated, we will not present the Liquidating
Trust Agreement Proposal for a vote of our stockholders at the Special
Meeting and will move forward with the complete liquidation and
dissolution of the Company without establishment of the Liquidating Trust.
The Plan of Liquidation gives our Board of Directors the authority to sell
all of our assets. Stockholder approval of the Plan of Liquidation also
will constitute approval of any and all such future asset sales. If this
happens, our Board of Directors will be authorized to sell and liquidate
our assets, including the Assets, on such terms and to such parties as the
Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion without requiring
further stockholder approval. We do not have any agreement or
understanding with any party with respect to the sale of any or all of our
assets if the Asset Sale is not approved or if the Asset Sale is not
consummated. Because the Board of Directors believes that the Asset
Purchase Agreement presents the best offer for the sale of the Assets and
because of our already extremely limited resources, if the Asset Sale is
not consummated for whatever reason, we will be forced to discontinue our
operations and proceed with a liquidation in bankruptcy. Under such
circumstances, it is highly doubtful that there would be any assets to
distribute to our stockholders.
|
Q:
|
What
will happen if both the Asset Sale and the Plan of Liquidation are not
approved?
|
A:
|
If
the Asset Sale is not consummated and the Plan of Liquidation is not
approved, whether due to lack of stockholder approval or other reasons, we
will not present the Liquidating Trust Agreement Proposal for a vote of
our stockholders at the Special Meeting. All of our remaining assets most
likely would then be used to maintain our curtailed operations until such
time that we would have little or no assets and we will be forced to
discontinue operations and proceed with a liquidation in bankruptcy. Our
Board of Directors believes that if all three proposals are not approved,
we will be forced to discontinue our operations and proceed with a
liquidation in bankruptcy. Under such circumstances, it is highly doubtful
that there would be any assets to distribute to our
stockholders.
|
Q:
|
What
will happen if the Asset Sale is approved, but the Plan of Liquidation is
not approved?
|
A:
|
If
the Asset Sale is approved, but the Plan of Liquidation is not approved by
our stockholders, we will not present the Liquidating Trust Agreement
Proposal for a vote of our stockholders at the Special Meeting and we
would then move forward to complete the Asset Sale under the Asset
Purchase Agreement. We would not make any liquidating distributions to our
stockholders and will attempt to maximize cash remaining after satisfying
our liabilities by negotiating possible reduced payments for our remaining
obligations. We would continue to manage the Company as a publicly-owned
entity, would expect to continue to incur the substantial costs
of being a public company and will explore what, if any, alternatives are
then available for the future of our business, including “going dark.”
However, our already substantially depleted resources and proceeds of the
Asset Sale would then be further diminished, which would most likely
result in the curtailment of our operations and require us to file for
bankruptcy. In such event, our Board of Directors believes that if all
three proposals are not approved, we will be forced to discontinue our
operations and proceed with a liquidation in bankruptcy. Under such
circumstances, it is highly doubtful that there would be any assets to
distribute to our stockholders.
|
Q:
|
How
will the Company use the Transaction Proceeds of the Asset
Sale?
|
A:
|
We
intend to use all of our share of the Cash Purchase Price to pay our
outstanding liabilities and obligations. None of the Cash Purchase
Price will be available for distribution to our stockholders in light of
the fact that currently our total liabilities and obligations
significantly exceed our total assets. We will attempt to maximize
cash remaining after the Asset Sale by negotiating possible reduced
payments for our remaining obligations. A portion of our share of the Cash
Purchase Price may also be used by to fund our day-to-day operations prior
to our dissolution. We intend to retain as much of the non-cash Remaining
Assets as possible for conversion into cash and eventual distribution, if
any, to our stockholders pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation and the
Liquidating Trust Agreement. Cash distributions, if any, to our former
stockholders will be made from the Liquidating Trust to the extent that
our share of any Royalty Payments and any value realized from our rights
to the Option exceed the Remaining Liabilities transferred to and the
expenses of the Liquidating Trust. If the Plan of Liquidation or the
Liquidating Trust Agreement are not approved by our stockholders, our
share of the Cash Purchase Price and our Remaining Assets will be used by
us to satisfy our liabilities and obligations. Our Board of Directors
believes that if all three proposals are not approved, we will be forced
to discontinue our operations and proceed with a liquidation in
bankruptcy. Under such circumstances, it is highly doubtful that there
would be any assets to distribute to our
stockholders.
|
Q:
|
What
will our business be after the Asset
Sale?
|
A:
|
After
the closing of the Asset Sale, if the Plan of Liquidation and the
Liquidating Trust Agreement are approved by our stockholders, we and
Operations will file a certificate of dissolution with the State of
Delaware. Thereafter, our sole activities will relate to the liquidation
and winding up of the Company and Operations pursuant to the Plan of
Liquidation and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. If the Plan of
Liquidation is not approved by our stockholders, we will not present the
Liquidating Trust Agreement Proposal for a vote of our stockholders at the
Special Meeting and we will attempt to obtain financing and/or
identify and establish a successful business model. Considering our recent
financial performance, it is unlikely that we would be able to obtain
additional equity or debt financing. If we were unable to obtain
sufficient capital, we would deplete our available limited resources
and may be required to discontinue operations and/or proceed with a
liquidation in bankruptcy. Our Board of Directors believes that if all
three proposals are not approved, we will be forced to discontinue our
operations and proceed with a liquidation in bankruptcy. Under such
circumstances, it is highly doubtful that there would be any assets to
distribute to our stockholders.
|
Q:
|
What actions will our Board of
Directors take if the Asset Sale, the Plan of Liquidation
and the
Liquidating Trust Agreement are
approved?
|
A:
|
(i)
If the Asset Sale, the Plan of Liquidation and the Liquidating Trust
Agreement are approved by our stockholders, we will take the following
actions:
|
|
·
|
complete
the Asset Sale and the consummation of the transactions contemplated under
the Asset Purchase Agreement;
|
|
·
|
file
a certificate of dissolution for each of Xcorporeal and Operations with
the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware;
|
|
·
|
establish
the Liquidating Trust and transfer to the Liquidating Trust all of our
Remaining Assets and the Remaining
Liabilities;
|
|
·
|
pursuant
to the terms of the Liquidating Trust, the Trustee will pay or adequately
provide for the payment of all of our known obligations and liabilities
prior to any distributions to our
stockholders;
|
|
·
|
attempt
to maximize cash remaining after satisfying our liabilities by negotiating
possible reduced payments for our remaining obligations;
and
|
|
·
|
the
trustee of the Liquidating Trust will distribute in accordance with the
Liquidating Trust’s governance documents pro rata in one or more
liquidating distributions over time to or for the benefit of our former
stockholders and beneficiaries of the Liquidating Trust any available cash
or cash equivalents obtained from the conversion into cash of all of the
rights and assets transferred to the Liquidating
Trust.
|
|
·
|
attempt
to sell all of our Assets on available terms most favorable to
us;
|
|
·
|
discontinue
our operations and liquidate our assets and conduct our business
operations only to the extent necessary to wind up our business
affairs;
|
|
·
|
file
a certificate of dissolution for each of Xcorporeal and Operations with
the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware;
|
|
·
|
attempt
to maximize cash remaining after satisfying our liabilities by negotiating
possible reduced payments for our remaining
obligations;
|
|
·
|
attempt
to pay or adequately provide for the payment of all of our known
obligations and liabilities, to the extent of our then available
resources;
|
|
·
|
to
the extent of our then available resources, establish a contingency
reserve designed to satisfy any additional unknown or contingent
liabilities or acquire insurance to protect us against such liabilities;
and/or
|
|
·
|
seek
protection under bankruptcy laws. Due to the fact that our liabilities and
obligations significantly exceed our assets, it is highly doubtful that
there would be any cash or cash equivalents to distribute to our
stockholders.
|
|
·
|
complete
the Asset Sale and the consummation of the transactions contemplated under
the Asset Purchase Agreement;
|
|
·
|
file
a certificate of dissolution for each of Xcorporeal and Operations with
the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware;
|
|
·
|
attempt
to maximize cash remaining after satisfying our liabilities by negotiating
possible reduced payments for our remaining
obligations;
|
|
·
|
attempt
to pay or adequately provide for the payment of all of our known
obligations and liabilities, to the extent of our then available
resources;
|
|
·
|
to
the extent of our then available resources, establish a contingency
reserve designed to satisfy any additional unknown or contingent
liabilities or acquire insurance to protect us against such liabilities;
and/or
|
·
|
discontinue
our operations and liquidate our Remaining Assets, conduct our business
operations only to the extent necessary to wind up our business affairs
and seek protection under bankruptcy laws. Due to the fact that our
liabilities and obligations significantly exceed our assets, it is highly
doubtful that there would be any cash or cash equivalents to distribute to
our stockholders.
|
Q:
|
What
is the Liquidating Trust?
|
A:
|
No
third party is entitled to rely on no-action positions taken by the staff
of the SEC. However, in order to have facts similar to those presented in
several no-action letters in which the staff took such no-action positions
allowing registrants whose securities are registered under Section
12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), and who are otherwise not eligible to deregister under
applicable rules of the Exchange Act, to deregister from their Section
13(a) and Section 15 reporting obligations, we plan to establish a
Liquidating Trust which will exist only for the limited purpose
of effecting liquidation of all of our assets and liabilities within
the 3-year period from the establishment date of the Liquidating Trust. In
connection therewith and pursuant to our Plan of Liquidation, if the Asset
Sale, the Plan of Liquidation and the Liquidating Trust Agreement are
approved by our stockholders and we subsequently consummate the Asset
Sale, we intend to transfer to the Liquidating Trust all of our Remaining
Assets and all of our Remaining
Liabilities.
|
Q:
|
What
are the terms of the Liquidating
Trust?
|
A;
|
If
the Asset Sale, the Plan of Liquidation and the Liquidating Trust
Agreement are approved by our stockholders and we subsequently consummate
the Asset Sale, our Board of Directors intends to transfer our share of
any Royalty Payments and our rights to the Option and the other Remaining
Assets, if any, together with all of the Remaining Liabilities, to the
Liquidating Trust established for the benefit of our stockholders, which
rights and assets would thereafter be sold or distributed on terms
approved by the Trustee of such trust. The purpose of the Liquidating
Trust would be to serve as a temporary repository for the trust property
prior to its disposition or distribution to our stockholders, to
distribute or sell such property on terms satisfactory to the Trustee, and
to distribute to our stockholders any net proceeds of such sale after
paying any liabilities assumed by the Liquidating Trust. The Liquidating
Trust will also assume all of our Remaining Liabilities and will be
obligated to pay any expenses and Remaining Liabilities that remain
unsatisfied.
|
Q:
|
What
will stockholders receive in the
liquidation?
|
A:
|
As
of the date hereof, we cannot determine what amount(s), if any, will be
available to distribute to our stockholders. If we receive our share of
any Royalty Payments and are able to realize any value from our
rights to the Option, if the products underlying the technology being sold
to FUSA as part of the Assets are successfully developed and if we incur
no additional liabilities, amounts may become available for distribution
to our stockholders in the future, and if so, will be distrusted from the
Liquidating Trust. However, our Board of Directors has determined that
approving the Asset Sale, the Plan of Liquidating and the Liquidating
Trust Agreement would increase the possibility that the Trustee will be
able to distribute liquidation proceeds from the Liquidating Trust to our
stockholders. See “Proposal No. 2: Approval of the Plan of Liquidation and
Dissolution” and “Proposal No. 3: Approval of the Liquidating Trust
Agreement — Nature,
Amount and Timing of Liquidating
Distributions.”
|
Q:
|
When
will stockholders receive payment of any available liquidation
proceeds?
|
A:
|
We
presently expect to transfer the Remaining Assets and the Remaining
Liabilities to the Liquidating Trust, as soon as practicable after the
Special Meeting and in connection with the filing of a certificate of
dissolution for each of Xcorporeal and Operations with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware. Upon our receipt of our share of the
Royalty Payments, if any, and/or conversion into cash of the value of the
stream of Royalty Payments due to us under the Asset Purchase Agreement,
if any, and after satisfaction of all of our liabilities and obligations
and the costs and liabilities associated with the establishment and
maintenance of the Liquidating Trust, the remaining cash amounts, if any,
will be distributed by the Trustee to our stockholders as the Trustee
determines in his sole discretion in accordance with the terms of the
Liquidating Trust. As of the date hereof, however, we are not able to
predict the precise nature, amount or timing of any distributions, due
primarily to our inability to predict the amount of our remaining
liabilities or the amount that we will expend during the course of the
liquidation and the amount, if any, of the Royalty Payments due to us or
the value that the Trustee would be able to realize upon conversion of the
stream of Royalty Payments due to us under the Asset Purchase Agreement
into cash. If the Asset Sale, the Plan of Liquidation and the Liquidating
Trust Agreement are approved by our stockholders, once the Remaining
Assets and Remaining Liabilities have been transferred to the Liquidating
Trust, the Trustee, in his sole discretion, will determine the actual
amount and timing of all distributions to our stockholders. See, “Proposal
No. 3: Approval of the Liquidating Trust Agreement — Liquidation
Distributions” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Plan of
Liquidation.”
|
Q:
|
Do
our executive officers and/or directors have any interest in the Asset
Sale, the Plan of Liquidation or Liquidating Trust
Agreement?
|
A:
|
Certain
of our executive officers have employment, change in control and other
agreements that provide for severance payments full vesting of all
unvested equity awards if any such executive officer's employment is
terminated for any reason in connection with a change in control or if we
terminate their employment at any time without cause or if they are
constructively terminated and/or certain other payments in the event we
successfully consummate the Asset
Sale.
|
Q:
|
What
happens to my shares of common stock after the dissolution of the
Company?
|
A:
|
If
the Asset Sale, the Plan of Liquidation and the Liquidating Trust
Agreement are approved by our stockholders and the Asset Sale is
consummated, the transfer of the Remaining Assets and Remaining
Liabilities to the Liquidating Trust under the Plan of Liquidation and the
Liquidating Trust Agreement or the wind up of our affairs under the Plan
of Liquidation will be in complete cancellation of all of the outstanding
shares of our common stock. From and after the effective date of the
certificate of dissolution to be filed by the Company with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware (the “Final Record Date”), and subject
to applicable law, our common stock will be treated as no longer being
outstanding and each holder of our common stock shall cease to have any
rights in respect thereof, except the right to receive distributions, if
any, pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation or the
trust agreement governing the Liquidating Trust, as applicable. To
the extent any amounts become available for distribution in the future as
a result of the Liquidating Trust receiving any Royalty Payments and
realizing any value from our rights to the Option, to the extent such
exceed the Remaining Liabilities and expenses of the Liquidating Trust,
they will also be distributed pro-rata from the Liquidating Trust. The
actual distribution amount will be determined and the final distribution
will be made by the Trustee in his sole discretion after the realization
over-time of the cash value, if any, of the Royalty Payments and our
rights to the Option, and settlement and satisfaction of all our
liabilities and expenses.
|
Q:
|
Should
I send in my stock certificates
now?
|
A:
|
No.
You should not forward your stock certificates before receiving
instructions to do so. As a condition to being a beneficiary of the
Liquidating Trust and receipt of any distribution to the stockholders as
beneficiaries thereof or receipt of any distribution pursuant to our Plan
of Liquidation, if the Asset Sale is not consummated for whatever reason,
our Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, may require the
stockholders to (i) surrender their certificates evidencing their shares
of common stock to us or (ii) furnish us with evidence satisfactory to the
Board of Directors of the loss, theft or destruction of such certificates,
together with such surety bond or other security or indemnity as may be
required by and satisfactory to the Board of Directors. If surrender of
stock certificates should be required following the dissolution, we will
send you written instructions regarding such surrender. Any distributions
otherwise payable by us to our stockholders who have not surrendered their
stock certificates, if requested to do so, will be held in trust for such
stockholders, without interest, pending the surrender of such certificates
(subject to escheat pursuant to the laws relating to unclaimed
property).
|
Q:
|
Can
I still sell my shares?
|
A:
|
You
may sell your shares at this time in accordance with the federal and state
securities rules and regulations. If the Plan of Liquidation is approved
by our stockholders, the Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion,
may direct that our stock cease being traded on the Pink Sheets and that
our stock transfer books be closed and recording of transfers of common
stock discontinued. From and after the Final Record Date, and subject
to applicable law, our common stock will be treated as no longer being
outstanding and each holder of our common stock shall cease to have any
rights in respect thereof, except the right to receive distributions
pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation and/or the
trust agreement governing the Liquidating Trust, as applicable.
Thereafter, certificates representing shares of our common stock will not
be assignable or transferable on the books of the Company except by will,
intestate succession or operation of law. See “Proposal No. 3: Approval of
the Liquidating Trust Agreement — Trading of Interests in any
Liquidating Trust” and “Proposal No. 3: Approval of the Liquidating Trust
Agreement — Trading of Our Common
Stock.”
|
Q:
|
Does
the Asset Sale or the dissolution and liquidation of the Company require
any regulatory approvals?
|
A:
|
We
are not aware of any United States federal or state regulatory
requirements or governmental approvals or actions that may be required to
consummate the Asset Sale or the dissolution and liquidation of the
Company, except for compliance with the applicable regulations of the SEC
in connection with this Proxy Statement and compliance with the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). Additionally, the
dissolution of the Company requires that we obtain a certificate from the
department of revenue for the State of Delaware certifying that every
license fee, tax, increase, or penalty of the Company has been paid or
provided for.
|
Q:
|
Does
the Plan of Liquidation involve any risk of liability to
stockholders?
|
A:
|
As
of the date of this Proxy Statement, no distributions have been made to
our stockholders. However, as part of our Plan of Liquidation, we are
obligated to pay, or make provision for the payment of, our expenses and
our fixed and contingent liabilities. Under the DGCL, a stockholder
could be held personally liable to our creditors for any deficiency, to
the extent of such stockholder’s previous distributions from us in
liquidation, if we fail to make adequate provision for the payment of our
expenses and liabilities. Moreover, if a stockholder has paid
taxes on distributions previously received by the stockholder, a repayment
of all or a portion of the prior distribution could result in a
stockholder incurring a net tax cost if the stockholder’s repayment of an
amount previously distributed does not cause a commensurate reduction in
taxes payable by that stockholder. If we fail to create an adequate
contingency reserve for payment of our expenses and liabilities, each of
our stockholders could be held liable for payment to our creditors for
amounts owed to creditors in excess of the contingency reserve, up to the
amount actually distributed to such stockholder. Because no distributions
have been made to our stockholders as of the date hereof, we do not
believe there is any material risk of liability to our stockholders
resulting from our fixed and contingent
liabilities.
|
Q:
|
Who
is entitled to vote?
|
A:
|
The
Record Date for the Special Meeting is January 4, 2010. Only stockholders
of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to
notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. At the close of business on
the Record Date there were 15,354,687 shares of our common stock and
no shares of our preferred stock outstanding. Except as otherwise required
by law, the holders of shares of our common stock vote together as a
single class on all matters presented to the
stockholders.
|
Q:
|
How
many votes are required to authorize and approve the Asset Sale Proposal,
the Plan of Liquidation Proposal and the Adjournment
Proposal?
|
A:
|
At
the Special Meeting, our stockholders will consider and vote on the Asset
Sale Proposal, the Plan of Liquidation Proposal, the Liquidating Trust
Agreement Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal as separate proposals,
however, we will not present the Liquidating Trust Agreement Proposal at
the Special Meeting unless both the Asset Sale Proposal and the Plan of
Liquidating Proposal are approved by our stockholders. The approval of
each of the Asset Sale Proposal, the Plan of Liquidation Proposal and the
Liquidating Trust Agreement Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the
Record Date and entitled to vote thereon. The approval of the Adjournment
Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled
to vote thereon. Members of our Board of Directors and our executive
officers who hold (or are deemed to hold) as of the Record Date an
aggregate of 6,352,596 shares of our common stock (approximately 41.4% of
the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the Record Date) have
agreed to vote for the approval of each of the proposals at the
Special Meeting.
|
Q:
|
Do
I have dissenters’ rights?
|
A:
|
No.
Under the DGCL, stockholders will not have dissenters’ rights in
connection with the Asset Sale or the Plan of Liquidation. Section 262 of
the DGCL provides that appraisal rights shall be available for the shares
of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger
or consolidation to be effected pursuant to Section 251 of the DGCL.
Because the transactions contemplated under the Asset Purchase Agreement
or by the Plan of Liquidation will not involve a merger or consolidation
of the Company, our stockholders will not have appraisal rights in
connection with the Asset Sale or the Plan of
Liquidation.
|
Q:
|
What
if my shares are held in “street name” by a
broker?
|
A:
|
If
you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a broker
(or banker or other nominee), your broker, as the record holder of the
shares, is required to vote those shares in accordance with your
instructions. Stockholders should follow the directions provided by
brokers regarding how to instruct brokers to vote the
shares.
|
Q:
|
How
many shares must be present to hold the Special Meeting and how are votes
counted?
|
A:
|
A
quorum must be present at the Special Meeting for any business to be
conducted. The presence at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, of
the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding on
the Record Date will constitute a quorum. Your shares will be considered
part of the quorum if you return a signed and dated proxy card, if you
vote by telephone or by the Internet, or if you vote at the Special
Meeting. Proxies received but marked as abstentions or broker non-votes
will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to
be present at the Special Meeting.
|
Q:
|
What
if a quorum is not present at the Special
Meeting?
|
A:
|
If
we do not have a quorum at the Special Meeting or if we do not have
sufficient affirmative votes in favor of the foregoing proposals, we may,
subject to stockholder approval of the Adjournment Proposal, adjourn the
Special Meeting to a later time to permit further solicitation of proxies,
if necessary, to obtain additional votes in favor of the foregoing
proposals. In addition, we may adjourn the Special Meeting without notice,
other than by the announcement made at the Special Meeting. Under our
Bylaws, we can adjourn the Special Meeting by approval of the holders of a
majority of our common stock having voting power present in person or
represented by proxy thereat. We are soliciting proxies to vote in favor
of adjournment of the Special Meeting, regardless of whether a quorum is
present, if necessary to provide additional time to solicit votes in favor
of approval of the Asset Sale Proposal, the Plan of Liquidation Proposal
or the Liquidating Trust Agreement
Proposal.
|
Q:
|
Who
is bearing the costs of the solicitation of proxies in connection with the
Special Meeting?
|
A:
|
We
will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies from its stockholders.
In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers and employees
may solicit proxies from our stockholders by telephone, facsimile or other
electronic means or in person. Following the original mailing of the Proxy
Statement and other soliciting materials, we will request brokers,
custodians, nominees and other record holders to forward copies of the
Proxy Statement and other soliciting materials to persons for whom they
hold shares of our common stock and to request authority for the exercise
of proxies. We will reimburse any of these custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in doing so. We
may engage an agent to assist us in the solicitation of proxies. If we do
so, such agent’s fee and services will be consistent with our past
arrangements and within the range of what is common for companies with
similar operations and a number of stockholders similar to
us.
|
Q:
|
How
do I vote?
|
Q:
|
Can
I change my vote after I submit my
proxy?
|
A:
|
Yes,
you may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the
polls close at the meeting by:
|
•
|
voting
again by Internet or by
telephone;
|
•
|
signing
another proxy with a later
date;
|
•
|
giving
written notice of the revocation of your proxy to our Secretary prior to
the Special Meeting; or
|
•
|
voting
in person at the Special
Meeting.
|
Q:
|
What
happens if I do not give specific voting
instructions?
|
A:
|
Stockholders of Record.
If you are a stockholder of record and
you:
|
|
•
|
Indicate
when voting on the Internet or telephone that you wish to vote as
recommended by our Board of Directors
or
|
|
•
|
if
you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting
instructions,
|
Q:
|
How
do I access proxy materials on the
Internet?
|
A:
|
Stockholders
can access our Notice of Special Meeting and Proxy Statement and a form of
a proxy card on the Internet on the “Investors”, sub-category “Proxy
Statement Materials”, section of our website at www.xcorporeal.com. Our
public filings can also be accessed at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

Information.”
|
Q:
|
What if other matters come up
at the Special Meeting?
|
A:
|
The
matters described in this Proxy Statement are the only matters we know of
that will be voted on at the Special Meeting. If any other matter or
matters are properly brought before the Special Meeting or any adjournment
or postponement of the Special Meeting, it is the intention of the persons
named in the accompanying form of proxy to vote the proxy on such matters
in accordance with their best
judgment.
|
Q:
|
What
do stockholders need to do now?
|
A:
|
After
carefully reading and considering the information contained in this Proxy
Statement, each stockholder should vote by Internet or by telephone or
complete and sign his or her proxy card and return it in the enclosed
return envelope as soon as possible so that his or her shares may be
represented at the meeting. A majority of shares entitled to vote must be
represented at the meeting to enable us to conduct business at the
meeting.

seeking
to make available for distribution to our stockholders rights with the
potential to yield the maximum amount of cash in the quickest period of
time and taking such actions would increase the possibility that we will
be able to distribute liquidation proceeds from the Liquidating Trust to
our stockholders as soon as practicable, including our share of any
Royalty Payments made by FUSA and any value realized from our rights to
the Option under the Asset Purchase
Agreement;
|

the
significant costs associated with our ongoing operations, which we had
already reduced to the extent management believed reasonable to permit
continuation of our operations;

the
significant uncertainties as to our ability to obtain the future financing
required to permit us to execute our business strategy given the capital
raising difficulties in the debt and equity capital
markets;

the
substantial accounting, legal and other expenses associated with being a
small publicly-traded company in light of our existing and expected
history of losses;
|

the

liabilities cannot be settled to the satisfaction of our Board,

terms and conditions of the Plan of Liquidation, including the provisions
that permit our Board to revoke the plan if our Board determines that, in
light of new proposals presented or changes in circumstances, dissolution
and liquidation are no longer advisable and in the best interests of the
Company and our stockholders;
|
|
·
|
the
fact that Delaware corporate law requires that the Plan of Liquidation be
approved by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of
our common stock entitled to vote, which ensures that our Board will not
be taking actions of which a significant portion of our stockholders
disapprove; and
|
|
·
|
the
reduced cost of setting up the Liquidating Trust and implementing the Plan
of Liquidation, coupled with the termination of our registration and
reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, compared to the cost of
operating a scaled-down public
company.

the
risks associated with the sale of the Assets to FUSA and any remaining
non-cash assets as part of the Plan of Liquidation;

stockholders would generally not be permitted to transfer shares of our
common stock after the effective date of the Plan of
Liquidation.

Wind
down liabilities primarily consist of the estimated severance costs of
$611,500 and up to approximately $1.924 million that may be due to
our executive officers less amounts paid through the expected Closing Date
(as more fully discussed herein), and a range of estimates on additional
expenses including up to approximately $740,000 as the remaining payments
due under the lease of our principal executive offices and legal fees
associated with the wind down of approximately
$88,000.

|
If
any of the estimates regarding our Plan of Liquidation, including the
recovery of our estimated asset amounts (including, without limitation,
our marketable securities), and the settlement of our outstanding
obligations during the liquidation process, are inaccurate, the amount we
transfer to the Liquidating Trust and that the Trustee may ultimate
distribute to our stockholders may be reduced. For instance, if claims are
asserted against us and are successful, the Trustee will have to pay these
claims before making distributions, if any, to our stockholders from
the Liquidating Trust;
|
|
·
|
We
have made certain estimates regarding the cost of personnel required and
other operating costs (including legal and consulting fees) necessary to
liquidate and dissolve the Company, many of which could vary significantly
and are dependent on the timing of closing of the Asset Sale and the sale
of our other remaining assets. If the timing differs from our plans, then
we may incur additional costs above our current estimates and may transfer
fewer assets to the Liquidating Trust and reduce the cash that may be
distributed by the Trustee to our stockholders, if any;
and
|
|
·
|
We
are required to obtain certain third party consents and approvals as a
condition to closing the Asset Sale. Currently, we do not expect that the
cost of these consents and approvals will be significant. However, if our
expectation is incorrect, the amount we distribute to our common
stockholders may be reduced.

Limitations
on Assignability.
|
|
(a)
|
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any of the
Purchased Assets are not assignable without the consent of a third party,
neither this Agreement, nor any of the instruments or documents executed
and delivered in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, shall
constitute an assignment or assumption thereof, or attempted assignment or
attempted assumption thereof, if such assignment or attempted assignment,
or assumption or attempted assumption, would constitute a breach
thereof.
|
|
(b)
|
If,
prior to the Closing, Sellers have not or cannot obtain such consent or
approval necessary for the assignment and assumption of any of the
Purchased Contracts (each a “Nonassigned Asset”),
Sellers and Purchaser agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to
secure such assignment as soon as practicable. Unless and until such
Nonassigned Assets are assigned by Sellers and assumed by Purchaser, such
Nonassigned Assets shall not constitute
Purchased Assets, nor shall any liabilities related thereto constitute
Assumed Liabilities.
|
|
1.3.
|
Excluded
Assets. All the assets of Sellers which are not specifically
included as Purchased Assets hereunder shall remain the assets of Sellers
and shall not be sold or conveyed hereunder (the “Excluded Assets”).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchased Assets
shall not include (a) cash, restricted cash, cash equivalents or accounts
receivable of any Seller, (b) marketable securities held by any Seller,
(c) the capital stock, membership interest or other equity interest of any
Seller, (d) any Seller’s websites, including each such site’s content,
look and feel, verbiage and images, (e) the domain names listed on Schedule

|
|
1.4.
|
Assumed
Liabilities. The “Assumed Liabilities”
shall consist solely of the liabilities and obligations arising on or
after Closing under each properly assigned and assumed Purchased Contract.
The Assumed Liabilities shall not include any outstanding liabilities of
Sellers related to Sellers’ performance (or lack thereof) under any such
Purchased Contract prior to Closing. At the Closing and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, Purchaser and Sellers shall execute
an “Assumption Agreement”, in the form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to all of the parties, whereby Purchaser will solely and
exclusively undertake, assume and agree to perform, pay, become liable for
and discharge when due the Assumed
Liabilities.
|
|
1.5.
|
Excluded
Liabilities. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Purchaser shall
not assume and shall have no responsibility for any liabilities of Sellers
of any nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, those arising in
connection with, or related to, the Purchased Assets. Sellers shall have
no responsibility for any liabilities arising in connection with, or
related to, the Purchased Assets after the
Closing.
|
|
1.6.
|
No
Expansion of Third Party Rights. The assumption by Purchaser of the
Assumed Liabilities shall in no way expand the rights or remedies of any
third party against Purchaser, Sellers or any affiliate of any of them as
compared to the rights and remedies which such third party would have had
against the Sellers had Purchaser not assumed such obligations (other than
the right to enforce any Assumed Liabilities directly against Purchaser as
a result of the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by
Purchaser).

|
Conduct
of Business of the Companies Prior to the Closing
Date. During the period from the date of this Agreement
and continuing through the Closing Date, each of the Sellers agrees that
except as expressly contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or to the
extent that Purchaser shall otherwise consent in writing, each of the
Sellers shall use its best efforts to carry on the Business and its
affairs in such a manner so that the representations, warranties and
covenants contained herein shall continue to be accurate and correct
throughout such period, and on and as of the Closing Date as if made by
each Seller on the Closing Date, and throughout such period, each Seller
shall (a) carry on the Business in the ordinary course in substantially
the same manner as previously conducted immediately prior to the execution
of this Agreement, (b) promptly notify Purchaser, in writing, of any
material development with respect to the Business or any assets or
properties of such Seller, (c) confer with Purchaser concerning
operational matters of a material nature, and (d) use best efforts,
recognizing the constraints of its financial condition, (i) to
preserve intact its present business organization, (ii) keep

(iii) preserve its relationships with customers, suppliers and others
having business dealings with it, and (iv) not do or permit to be done any

Effect.
|
|
8.3.
|
Public
Announcements. None of the parties to this Agreement shall issue or
make any press release or other public statements or otherwise announce
the transactions described herein to employees, customers or suppliers
except and unless such release, statement or announcement has been jointly
approved by Purchaser and Sellers (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required
by applicable law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with
any securities market or any securities market regulations. If
either party is so required to issue or make a press release, public
statement or other announcement, it shall inform the other party prior to
the issuance or making thereof and shall reasonably consult with the other
party regarding the content
thereof.
|
|
8.4.
|
Protection
of Trade Secrets. Each Seller shall take efforts that
are reasonable under the circumstances to prevent the unauthorized
disclosure to any other person or entity of any of the Trade Secrets used
in or related to the Business. Each Seller shall take all steps
reasonably necessary to protect and preserve the confidentiality of the
Trade Secrets and other confidential information of the Business. “Trade Secrets” means
business or technical information including, but not limited to, formulas
or methods of manufacturing and production and Know-How, that is not
generally known to other persons or entities who are not subject to an
obligation of nondisclosure and that derives actual or potential
commercial value from not being generally known to other persons or
entities. “Know-How” means ideas,
designs, concepts, compilations of information, methods, techniques,
procedures and processes, inventions and discoveries, whether or not
patentable.
|
|
8.5.
|
Bulk
Sales Compliance. Except with respect to each of the
Sellers’ obligations which comprise the Assumed Liabilities, each Seller
shall pay in full from the Purchase Price all sums due and owing its
creditors. Purchaser and each of the Sellers hereby waive
compliance with any “bulk sales” law under any applicable uniform
commercial code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers
shall indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless as provided for any
claim, liability or expense arising from or in connection with
non-compliance with any applicable bulk sales law as it pertains to the
transactions contemplated hereby.
|
|
8.6.
|
Access
to Information. Between the date of this Agreement and
the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times without
undue disruption to the Business, each Seller will give Purchaser and its
authorized representatives full access to all personnel, offices and other
facilities and to all Books and Records of each Seller (including tax
returns and accounting work papers) and will permit Purchaser to make
copies thereof and will fully cooperate with regard to such inspections as
it may reasonably request for any purpose, including verification that the
representations and warranties were true when made and continue to be true
through and including the Closing Date and will cause its officers to
furnish Purchaser such financial and operating data and other information
with respect to the business and properties of each Company which
Purchaser may from time to time reasonably
request.
|
|
8.7.
|
All
Reasonable Efforts. Subject
to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the parties hereto
agrees to use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all
actions, and to do, or cause to be done as promptly as practicable, all
things necessary, proper and advisable under applicable laws and
regulations to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Additional
Documents and to cause the conditions to the Closing set forth herein to
be satisfied.
|
|
8.8.
|
Consents
and Approvals. Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to
obtain all of the Required
Consents.
|
|
8.9.
|
Other
Negotiations by Sellers. During the period from the date
hereof to the Closing Date or the date this Agreement is terminated in
accordance with provisions hereof, no Seller shall directly, or indirectly
through representatives, enter into any agreement, discussion, negotiation
with or provide any information to, any other corporation, firm, entity or
other persons or solicit, encourage, entertain or consider any inquiries
or proposals, with respect to (i) the possible disposition of any of
the Business (including any of the Purchased Assets), (ii) any
business combination involving any Seller, whether by way of merger,
consolidation, share exchange or other transactions, or (iii) the
sale of any shares of the capital stock of any Seller (an “Acquisition Proposal”);
provided,
however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit
the board of directors of any Seller from complying with the requirements
of Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act, if applicable, with respect to an
Acquisition Proposal or any other applicable law or furnishing any
information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, any
person that makes an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal if, (A)
the board of directors of applicable Seller, after consultation with its
outside legal counsel, determines in good faith that the failure to take
such action would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law
and (B) the board of directors of applicable Seller determines in good
faith that such Acquisition Proposal may lead to a transaction that would,
if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to such Seller’s
stockholders from a financial point of view than the transactions
contemplated under this Agreement and the agreements contemplated hereby
(any such more favorable Acquisition Proposal, a “Superior Proposal”).
Such Seller shall promptly communicate to Purchaser the terms of any
proposal which it may receive in respect of an Acquisition Proposal and
any request by or indication of interest on the part of any third party
with respect to initiation of any Acquisition Proposal or discussions with
respect thereto (the “Notice”). Such Seller
shall keep Purchaser informed of any material changes (including material
amendments) to any such Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither Seller shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 8.9 unless and until (i) three business days have elapsed
following the delivery to Purchaser of a written notice of such
determination by the board of directors of such Seller and (x) such Seller
has delivered the Notice and (y) during such three business day
period, such Seller otherwise cooperates with Purchaser with respect to
the Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal with the
intent of enabling Purchaser to engage in good faith negotiations to make
such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would
enable such Seller to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby on
such adjusted terms and conditions and (ii) at the end of such three
business day period the board of directors of the applicable Seller
continues reasonably to believe that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes
a Superior Proposal.
|
|
8.10.
|
Supersorbent
Option. Purchaser hereby grants to Sellers an option to
license/sublicense from Purchaser the perpetual worldwide exclusive rights
to utilize and develop the Supersorbent Technology, with the right to
sublicense (without any additional consideration (other than the royalties
provided for below) due to Purchaser), in the healthcare fields other than
renal, including the right to manufacture any products resulting therefrom
(the “Option”). Such
Option shall be exercisable only during the twelve (12) month period
immediately following Sellers’ receipt of written notice from Purchaser of
Purchaser’s receipt of applicable regulatory approval for the sale of a
product in the United States or European Union utilizing the Supersorbent
Technology. Contemporaneously with such notice, Purchaser shall
provide reasonable written evidence to Sellers of its receipt of such
approval. In order to exercise the Option, a Seller shall
provide written notice of such election to Purchaser (the “Election
Notice”). Purchaser and Sellers (or Seller, as
applicable) shall negotiate in good faith and shall, within thirty (30)
days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Election Notice, execute a license
agreement the terms and conditions of which shall include the
following:
|
|
(a)
|
An
initial royalty payment equal to $7,500,000 in immediately available
funds;
|
|
(b)
|
An
ongoing royalty, payable quarterly along with the delivery of reasonable
sales reports and data, in an amount equal to the lesser of $0.75 per
supersorbent cartridge or $1.50 per patient per week in each country where
such sales infringe valid and issued claims of the Supersorbent Patents
issued in such country;
|
|
(c)
|
That
Sellers (or Seller, as applicable) shall be entitled to transfer or
sublicense its rights under such license without any additional
consideration due to Purchaser, provided that such transfer or sublicense
is limited to the healthcare fields other than
renal;
|
|
(d)
|
That
such license shall consist of the perpetual worldwide exclusive rights to
utilize and develop the Supersorbent Technology, with the right to
sublicense (without any additional consideration (other than the royalties
provided for above) due to Purchaser), in the healthcare fields other than
renal, including the right to manufacture any products resulting
therefrom; and
|
|
(e)
|
Other
usual and customary terms found in similar license
agreements.
|
9.
|
Restrictive
Covenants.
|
|
9.1.
|
Non-Compete. As
a material inducement for Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, each of
the Sellers hereby agrees that none of them nor any of their affiliates or

anniversary of the date of Closing (the “Restricted Period”),
directly or indirectly, run, own an equity interest in, manage, consult
with, be employed by, furnish services to, operate or control any
business, venture or activity that is directly or indirectly competitive
with Business, provided, however, that any joint venture among Purchaser
and any or all of the Sellers shall not be violation
hereof.
|
|
9.2.
|
Nonsolicitation. As
a material inducement for Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, each of
the Sellers hereby agree that none of them nor any of their affiliates or
subsidiaries shall, during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly,
take any action that is intended to, or could reasonably be expected to,
result in any customer, employee or vendor of the Purchaser or of the
Business from discontinuing or limiting its affiliation with Purchaser or
the Business.
|
10.
|
Termination.
|
|
10.1.
|
Methods
of Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the
transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the
Closing:
|
|
(a)
|
by
the mutual written consent of Purchaser and the
Sellers;
|
|
(b)
|
by
Purchaser or by Sellers if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an
order, decree or ruling or taken any other action, which such order,
decree, ruling or action has become final and nonappealable and which has
the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting
the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement;
|
|
(c)
|
by
Sellers, subject to complying with the terms of this Agreement, upon the
decision by the board of directors of any Seller to enter into an
agreement concerning a transaction that constitutes a Superior Proposal,
if such Seller notifies Purchaser in writing that it intends to enter into
such an agreement;
|
|
(d)
|
by
Purchaser if the Stockholder Approvals have not been obtained on or before

written notice to the other party by Purchaser or any Seller, if the
Closing has not occurred on or before February 28, 2010 and this Agreement
has not previously been terminated, provided, however that the right to
terminate the Agreement under this Section 10.1(e) shall not be available
to any party if the failure of such party to fulfill any of its
obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in,
the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such
date.
|
|
10.2.
|
Procedure
Upon Termination. In the event of termination of this
Agreement by the Sellers or Purchaser, written notice thereof shall

and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned, without
further action by any party to this Agreement. If this
Agreement is so terminated, no party to this Agreement shall have any
right or claim against another party on account of such termination unless
this Agreement is terminated by a party on account of the breach of any
representation, warranty, term or covenant herein by the other party or
parties in which event the non-breaching party shall have all rights and
remedies available to it at law or in
equity.
|
|

Reductions
in our labor force – On March 13, 2009, we gave notice of employment
termination to 19 employees. This represents a total work-force reduction
of approximately 73%. We paid accrued vacation benefits of approximately
$70,000 to the terminated employees. The layoffs and our other efforts
focused on streamlining our operations designed to reduce our annual
expenses by approximately $3.5 million to a current operating burn rate of
approximately $200,000 per month. These actions had to be carefully and
thoughtfully executed and we will take additional actions, if necessary.
Most important to us in making these difficult decisions is to give as
much consideration as possible to all of our employees, whom we greatly
value. We hope to be in the financial position in the near future to offer
re-employment to certain of our terminated
employees.

Subject
to the satisfaction of the terms of the Interim Award, as modified by the
Order, NQCI will grant, transfer and assign to Operations all of the
Technology covered by the License Agreement currently in effect between
NQCI and Operations;
|
·
|
The
Technology includes all patents and patent applications related to a WAK
and other portable or continuous dialysis methods or
devices;
|
·
|
Under
the terms of the Interim Award, as modified by the Order, we filed a proxy
statement with the SEC to obtain stockholder approval for the issuance of
shares of our common stock to acquire the Technology and issue to NQCI
9,230,000 shares of our common
stock;
|
·
|
If
and when we are able to do so, we will issue and deliver to
NQCI 9,230,000 shares of our common stock in consideration for the
Technology. As a result, NQCI will own approximately 39% of our
outstanding common stock and become our largest
stockholder;
|
·
|
Except
for its definition, indemnification, representation and warranty
provisions, the License Agreement shall thereafter be terminated and be of
no further force or effect; and
|
·
|
After
the transfer of the Technology by NQCI to us, under the Interim Award, as
modified by the Order, we will be required to file a registration
statement with the SEC to register for resale under the Securities Act the
shares issued to NQCI, referred to herein as the “Registration
Statement”.

·
|
In
accordance with the second paragraph of page 7 of the Award, under the
Merger Agreement, the number of shares of our common stock which NQCI was
to receive at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Merger
Agreement was based on the number of shares or our common stock
outstanding as of the date of the Merger Agreement, or 10,000,000
shares.
|
·
|
If
the Merger Agreement was terminated, resulting in the closing of the
Technology Transaction, (i) pursuant to Section 6(B)(2)(i) of the Merger
Agreement, NQCI was to receive a 48% share of the aggregate amount of our
shares of common stock if we terminated the Merger Agreement for NQCI’s
breach or either party terminated under the December 1 or December 29
deadlines, and (ii) pursuant to Section 6(B)(2)(ii) of the Merger
Agreement, NQCI was to get a 54% share if we terminated for
dissatisfaction with our due diligence, or NQCI terminated for our breach
(as more fully described in the Merger
Agreement).
|
·
|
The
arbitrator determined that NQCI was not entitled to terminate the Merger
Agreement outright and that its notice of termination was improper.
Therefore, the arbitrator determined that, since NQCI was at fault, NQCI
is entitled to receive the lesser of the two alternatives (48% instead of
54%).
|
·
|
Therefore,
according to the arbitrator, in order to award a 48% share to NQCI,
assuming that there were 10,000,000 shares of our common stock outstanding
on the date of the Merger Agreement, we must issue to NQCI 9,230,000
shares of our common stock, which would represent 48% of the aggregate
total of 19,230,000 shares of our common stock which would have been
outstanding after giving effect to such
issuance.

Reductions
in our labor force – On March 13, 2009, we gave notice of employment
termination to 19 employees. This represents a total work-force reduction
of approximately 73%. We paid accrued vacation benefits of approximately
$70,000 to terminated employees. The layoffs and our other efforts focused
on streamlining our operations designed to reduce our annual expenses by
approximately $3.5 million to a current operating burn rate of
approximately $200,000 per month.
|
·
|
Refocusing
our available assets and employee resources on the development of the
PAK.
|
·
|
Continuing
vigorous efforts to minimize or defer our operating
expenses.
|
·
|
Exploring
various strategic alternatives, which may include the license of certain
of our intellectual property rights, as a means to further develop our
technologies, among other possible transactions and
alternatives.
|
·
|
Intensifying
our search to obtain additional financing to support our operations and to
satisfy our ongoing capital requirements in order to improve our liquidity
position.
|
·
|
Continuing
to prosecute our patents and take other steps to perfect our intellectual
property rights.

if
a JV Manager provides additional services to the Joint Venture as an
employee or a consultant, he or she may be compensated by the Joint
Venture as is mutually reasonably approved in writing by the Parties;
provided that with the exception of reimbursement of reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with their services performed for the Joint Venture

closing of the Proposed Transaction (the “First Installment”),
approximately 25% of such proceeds such number of months after the
consummation of the Proposed Transaction as provided in the documents
governing the Proposed Transaction (the “Second Installment”) and 25% of such
proceeds after the payment of the Second Installment (the “Third
Installment”, and collectively with the First Installment and the Second

follows: (i) $250,000 to the Xcorp Parties, payable to the Xcorp
Parties on the earlier of the signing of a letter of intent and an
acquisition agreement providing for the Proposed Transaction, (ii) to
NQCI, an amount equal to the NQCI Amount less the sum of the Second
Installment and the Third Installment, payable to NQCI within seven
business days of receipt of the First Installment, (iii) to the Xcorp
Parties, the remainder of the First Installment, (iv) to NQCI, the amount

Third Installment (the “Third NQCI Payment”) and (vi) the remainder
of the Transaction Proceeds shall be retained by the Xcorp Parties;
provided that under no circumstances shall NQCI be entitled to or receive
from the Transaction Proceeds an amount greater than the NQCI
Amount;
|

In
the event any of the Installments are paid by the third party in other
than cash, NQCI shall receive its proportionate share of such
consideration in accordance with the terms of the Memorandum;
