Introduction

On May 11, 2016, VirtualScopics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VirtualScopics”), became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioTelemetry, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“BioTelemetry”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 25, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among BioTelemetry, BioTelemetry Research Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of BioTelemetry (“Merger Sub”), and VirtualScopics. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into VirtualScopics, with VirtualScopics (the “Surviving Corporation”) surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BioTelemetry (the “Merger”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on April 8, 2016, Merger Sub commenced an offer to purchase for cash (i) all outstanding shares of common stock of VirtualScopics, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Shares”), at a purchase price of $4.05 per Common Share, (ii) all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of VirtualScopics, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), at a purchase price of $336.30 per Series A Preferred Share, (iii) all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of VirtualScopics, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Shares”), at a purchase price of $336.30 per Series B Preferred Share and (iv) all outstanding shares of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of VirtualScopics, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C-1 Preferred Shares,” and collectively with the Common Shares, the Series A Preferred Shares and the Series B Preferred Shares, the “Shares”), at a purchase price of $920.00 per Series C-1 Preferred Share in each case, net to the seller thereof in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes (the “Offer”). The Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, May 9, 2016, and was not extended. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, in its capacity as depositary and paying agent for the Offer, advised BioTelemetry and Merger Sub that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 1,968,869 Common Shares (excluding Shares delivered by Notice of Guaranteed Delivery for which certificates were not yet delivered), 1,600 Series A Preferred Shares, 600 Series B Preferred Shares and 3,000 Series C-1 Preferred Shares were validly tendered in, and not properly withdrawn from, the Offer, representing approximately 68.6% of the outstanding voting power of the Shares and 100% of the outstanding Series C-1 Preferred Shares. Additionally, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery had been received with respect to approximately 35,594 Common Shares.

The number of Shares tendered in the Offer satisfied the Minimum Tender Conditions and all of the other conditions to the Offer were satisfied. Accordingly, the Merger Sub accepted for payment, in accordance with the terms of the Offer, all Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer (including all Shares delivered through Notices of Guaranteed Delivery), and payment for such Shares was made promptly to the depository in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, following the completion of the Offer, BioTelemetry effected the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) (i) each holder of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time became entitled to receive per share consideration of $4.05 in cash (the “Common Merger Consideration”), (ii) each holder of Series A Preferred Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time became entitled to receive per share consideration of $336.30 in cash (the “Series A Merger Consideration”), (iii) each holder of Series B Preferred Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time became entitled to receive per share consideration of $336.30 in cash (the “Series B Merger Consideration”) and (iv) each holder of Series C-1 Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time became entitled to receive per share consideration of $920.00 in cash (the “Series C-1 Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, Shares held by VirtualScopics, BioTelemetry or Merger Sub, or any other subsidiary of BioTelemetry, were cancelled and ceased to exist, and Shares held by any subsidiary of VirtualScopics were converted into shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. In addition, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase Common Shares (each a “Stock Option”) that was outstanding became fully exercisable (whether vested or unvested). To the extent any Stock Option was not exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, such Stock Option was cancelled and the holder of such Stock Option became entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the positive excess, if any, of (1) the Common Merger Consideration over (2) the exercise price per Common Share then in effect in respect of such Stock Option, and (B) the aggregate number of Common Shares subject to such Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement contained in this Introduction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 of VirtualScopics’ Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2016.

VirtualScopics intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting the deregistration of the Common Shares and suspending VirtualScopics’ reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

At the Effective Time, Eric Converse, Robert G. Klimasewski, Bruce L. Lev, Charles E. Phelps, Terence A. Walts, Michael Woehler, and Andrew Levitch ceased serving as directors of VirtualScopics. Concurrently, Joseph H. Capper, Heather C. Getz and Peter Ferola became the directors of VirtualScopics. Additionally, on May 11, 2016, VirtualScopics entered into a separation and release agreement with Eric Converse (the “Converse Release Agreement”).

On May 11, 2016, Mr. Converse’s employment with VirtualScopics terminated and such termination was treated as a termination without cause in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement with VirtualScopics, which was previously filed with the SEC. As a condition to receiving the separation payments and benefits to which he was entitled under his employment agreement, which included a change of control bonus equal to $243,750 and a continuation of base salary for six months, Mr. Converse was required to execute a release and waiver of claims in favor of VirtualScopics, BioTelelmetry and their subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, Mr. Converse continued to remain subject to certain confidentiality and non-competition covenants.

The foregoing summary description of the Converse Release Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Converse Release Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

From and after the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of VirtualScopics in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time were amended and restated in their entirety to read as the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub (except for (i) the name of the corporation, which was revised to “VirtualScopics, Inc.,” and (ii) the name of the incorporator, which was deleted).
