THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of the 28th day of June, 2011, by and among ALANCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC., an Arizona corporation ("Alanco”), and YUUZOO CORPORATION BVI, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“YuuZoo”).

 

RECITALS :

1.2            Surviving Corporation .  Following the merger, the existence of Alanco shall continue unaffected and unimpaired by the merger as the surviving corporation, with all the rights, privileges, immunities, and powers, and subject to all the duties and liabilities, of a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Arizona. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Alanco, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, shall continue in full force and effect, and, except as provided in Section 1.3, shall not be changed in any manner by the merger. The directors of Alanco immediately following the Effective Date shall be as set forth in Section 1.4 below, and the officers of Alanco immediately following the Effective Date shall be as set forth in Section 1.5 below.

 

1.3            Name of Surviving Corporation .  The Articles of Incorporation of the surviving corporation shall be amended to change its name to YuuZoo Corporation.

 

1.4            Directors of the Surviving Corporation .  The Board of Directors of Alanco as the surviving corporation shall consist of one member selected by Alanco, namely, Robert R. Kauffman, and eight members chosen by YuuZoo, five of which must be “independent” as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq.

 

1.5            Officer of the Surviving Corporation .  The principal officers of Alanco as the surviving corporation shall be as follows:

 

Office                                                                                        Name

Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer            Thomas Zilliacus

Executive Director and CVO                                               Ronald Creevey

Chief Financial Officer                                                         Ken Ng

 

1.6            Management Advisors to Surviving Corporation .  Robert R. Kauffman, current Alanco CEO, and John A. Carlson, current Alanco CFO, shall continue as employees of the surviving corporation in management advisory rolls for a minimum period through the filing of the surviving corporation’s 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

 

2.0            Status and Conversion of Shares .

 

2.1            Continued Status of Alanco Common Stock .  Each issued and outstanding share of Alanco Class A Common Stock (”Alanco Common Stock”) shall continue to be an issued and outstanding share of Alanco Common Stock.

 

2.2            Conversion of YuuZoo Common Stock .  All of the shares of YuuZoo Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be converted by the merger into shares of Alanco Common Stock.  Therefore, upon the Effective Date, each share of issued and outstanding YuuZoo Common Stock outstanding on the Effective Date shall be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of authorized but previously unissued Alanco Common Stock, so that the YuuZoo shareholders own eighty-eight (88%) percent (based upon a negotiated value for YuuZoo of $88 million (“YuuZoo’s Value”)) of the total number of shares of Alanco Common Stock then outstanding, and the Alanco shareholders own twelve (12%) percent (based upon a negotiated value for Alanco of $12 million (“Alanco’s Value”)) of the total number of shares of Alanco Common Stock outstanding as of the date hereof.  The calculation of the number of shares of Alanco Common Stock to be issued to YuuZoo shareholders upon the Effective Date shall be based upon the number of shares of Alanco Common Stock currently outstanding, namely, 4,663,411 shares.  Any additional shares of Alanco Common Stock issued by Alanco with respect to the exercise of outstanding stock options before Closing shall not be counted in the calculation, however, in the event the Alanco Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is converted into or redeemed with Alanco Common Stock prior to the Closing Date, such additionally issued shares of Alanco Common Stock shall be included in the base number of shares comprising the Alanco shareholders’ 12% interest in the surviving corporation.  The foregoing relative percentages to be held by the YuuZoo shareholders and the Alanco shareholders is subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.5 below.  The aggregate number of shares to be issued pursuant to this Section, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.5, shall be known as the “Closing Shares.”  (For clarification, all issued and outstanding shares of YuuZoo Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock shall be converted into YuuZoo Common Stock before the Closing Date so that YuuZoo only has common stock outstanding as of the Closing Date.)

2.3            Mechanics of Conversion .  After the Effective Date, each holder of shares of YuuZoo Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates for the same to Alanco’s stock transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, 350 Indiana Street, Suite 800, Golden, CO 80401 (the “Exchange Agent”), and shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Alanco Common Stock into which the shares so surrendered shall have been converted as described above. Until so surrendered, each outstanding certificate which prior to the Effective Date represented shares of YuuZoo Common Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the number of shares of Alanco Common Stock into which the YuuZoo shares shall have been converted.

 

2.4.            No Fractional Shares .  No certificate for a fractional share of Alanco Common Stock shall be issued upon the exchange described herein, but in lieu thereof, there shall be issued to each holder who would have otherwise received a certificate for a fractional share cash equal to the value of such fractional share with the value of a full share of Alanco Common Stock determined to be equal to the average closing price of the Alanco Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market for the twenty trading days immediately proceeding the Effective Date.

 

2.5            Alanco Net Asset Adjustment .  The aggregate number of shares to be issued to YuuZoo shareholders pursuant to Section 2.2 above shall be adjusted in the event the Net Assets of Alanco are below $6,000,000 or in excess of $10,000,000.  The “Net Assets of Alanco” means the sum of Alanco’s cash (excluding cash realized from the exercise of outstanding Alanco stock option from the date hereof through the Closing Date), any amount owed to Alanco by YuuZoo (excluding cash loaned by Alanco to YuuZoo from cash realized from the exercise of outstanding Alanco stock option from the date hereof through the Closing Date), and the value of Orbcomm Inc. stock owned by Alanco as of the Closing Date.  Each share of Orbcomm Inc. common stock owned by Alanco shall be valued at the average closing price for such shares for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date.  The adjustment shall be as follows:

 

Net Assets                                             Adjustment

 

 

Below $6,000,000

Alanco’s Value of $12,000,000 shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar for each dollar that the Net Assets of Alanco are less than $6,000,000.

 

 

In excess of $10,000,000

Alanco’s Value of $12,000,000 shall be increased dollar-for-dollar for each dollar that the Net Assets of Alanco are greater than $10,000,000.

Alanco’s Value (as adjusted above) shall be added to YuuZoo’s Value of $88,000,000, which sum shall be used to determine each party’s relative percentage to be inserted in Section 2.2 above. For example, if the value of the Net Assets of Alanco as of the Closing Date equals $5,000,000, then Alanco’s Value will equal $11,000,000 instead of $12,000,000.  The resulting relative ownership percentages would then equal 11.1% for Alanco’s shareholders and 88.9% for YuuZoo’s shareholders.  If, on the other hand, the value of the Net Assets of Alanco as of the Closing Date equals $11,000,000, then Alanco’s Value will equal $13,000,000.  The resulting relative ownership percentages would then equal 12.9% for Alanco’s shareholders and 87.1% for YuuZoo shareholders.

 

3.0            Status and Conversion of Outstanding Stock Options and Warrants .  All Alanco outstanding stock options to its employees and directors, and outstanding warrants to investors shall continue to be an issued and outstanding options or warrants, as the case may be without modification in their terms.  All YuuZoo options outstanding under its Employee Stock Option Plan, and all warrants outstanding to investors and consultants, shall be exercised on or before the Closing Date so that YuuZoo shall not have any outstanding stock options or warrants as of the Closing .

 

4.0            Additional Shares of Alanco Common Stock Based Upon YuuZoo Financial Performance .  Alanco may issue additional shares of Alanco Common Stock (the “Earn Out Shares”) to the YuuZoo shareholders in connection with the merger based upon the financial performance of YuuZoo for the twelve months ending June 30, 2012 (the Measuring Period”).  In particular, if the audited net income of YuuZoo determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP (the “Net Income”) equals $5,000,000, Alanco shall issue an additional 1,000,000 shares of Alanco Common Stock to YuuZoo shareholders.  For each additional US Dollar of Net Income earned during the Measuring Period, Alanco shall issue one additional share of Alanco Common Stock to YuuZoo shareholders.  In addition to the foregoing, if YuuZoo has $10,000,000 or more of Net Income during the Measuring Period, Alanco shall issue an additional 1,500,000 shares to YuuZoo shareholders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total number of Earn Out shares issuable pursuant to this Section shall be limited so that the Earn Out Shares plus the Closing Shares aggregate to not more than 92% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Alanco common Stock at the Closing assuming that all of the Earn Out Shares to be issued were also issued at the Closing.

 

 

4


 

The Earn Out Shares shall be issued to the YuuZoo shareholders as of the Closing Date in proportion to their YuuZoo common stock ownership as of the Closing Date.  The Earn Out Shares shall be issued as soon as practicable following the end of the Measurement Period, but not later than thirty (30) days after the filing of the 10-K report that includes the audited Net Income.
