Merger Agreement with Qumu Corporation Merger Agreement with Qumu Corporation
As previously disclosed, on February 11, 2020, the Company, Qumu Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“Qumu”), and Quantum Merger Sub I, Inc., a Minnesota corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) for a proposed “merger of equals” transaction. The Merger Agreement provided that, subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub would merge with and into Qumu (the “Merger”), with Qumu surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
On June 29, 2020, Synacor, Qumu and Merger Sub entered into a mutual termination agreement pursuant to which the parties mutually agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement (the “Mutual Termination Agreement”). Under the terms of the Mutual Termination Agreement, Qumu agreed to immediately pay Synacor a fee in the amount of $250,000, and has also agreed to pay Synacor an additional fee in the amount of $1,450,000 if Qumu enters into a binding definitive agreement for an acquisition transaction within 15 months of the date of the Mutual Termination Agreement, and which is ultimately consummated. The Mutual Termination Agreement also includes mutual releases of known and unknown claims among Synacor, Merger Sub and Qumu arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Merger.
