Introductory Note.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the completion of the transactions contemplated by the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among eMagin Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“eMagin” or the “Company”), Samsung Display Co., Ltd., a Korean corporation (“Parent” or “Samsung Display”), Emerald Intermediate, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Silk USA”), and Emerald Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Silk USA (“Merger Sub”).

 

On October 18, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Silk USA.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

 

At 8:00 a.m., New York City time on the Closing Date (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock held by stockholders who have properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares (“Dissenting Shares”)) was converted into the right to receive $2.08 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Price”) and (ii) holders of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company designated as “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Company Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares), was converted into the right to receive cash, without interest, in an amount equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Company Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that are owned immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Price, in each case other than such shares held by Parent or the Company, which were canceled without payment thereon (such cash consideration, as applicable, the “Merger Consideration”). In addition, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, awards outstanding under the Company’s 2008 Incentive Stock Plan, 2011 Incentive Stock Plan, 2013 Incentive Stock Plan, 2017 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, 2019 Employee and Consultant Stock Option and Incentive Plan and 2019 Non-Employee Director Stock Option and Incentive Plan, each as amended (collectively, “Company Stock Plans”), as of the Effective Time were treated as follows:

 

(i)each unexercised stock option granted by the Company pursuant to the Company Stock Plans or otherwise (the “Company Stock Option”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then exercisable or vested, was, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cancelled and converted into the right to receive solely the following:

 

a)with respect to each Company Stock Option that has a per share exercise price that was less than the Per Share Merger Price (each, an “In-the-Money Option”), an amount in cash equal to the product of (I) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Price over the applicable exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such cancelled In-the-Money Option multiplied by (II) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time;

 

b)with respect to each Company Stock Option that has a per share exercise price that was equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Price (the “Out-of-the-Money Option”), such Out-of-the-Money Option was cancelled without any consideration payable therefor; and

 

(ii)with respect to each then-outstanding restricted stock unit award (including any that vest in whole or in part based on performance conditions) (the “Company RSUs”) granted under any Company Stock Plan became fully earned and vested with respect to the maximum number of shares underlying each such Company RSU as set forth in the terms of the agreement granting such Company RSU and each grantee of each Company RSU that vested in accordance with the Merger Agreement was entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable in settlement of such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Price.

 

 

 

 

All amounts payable pursuant to the above were subject to appropriate withholding for taxes. As of the Effective Time, the Company Stock Plans were terminated and all rights under any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest with respect to the shares of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company were cancelled.

 

As of the Effective Time, the warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Warrants”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were cancelled in their entirety pursuant to that certain Warrant Termination Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2023, by and between the Company and the holders of the Warrants.

 

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement, and the other transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on May 17, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Upon effectiveness of the Form 25, the Company intends to file with the SEC a Certification and Notice of Termination on Form 15 to deregister Company Common Shares and suspend the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Trading of the Company’s Common Stock on NYSE American was halted prior to the opening of trading on the Closing Date.

As a result of the Merger, each share of the Company’s Common Stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K) was converted, at the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Price. Accordingly, at the Effective Time, the holders of such shares of the Company’s Common Stock ceased to have any rights as shareholders of the Company, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

Notice shall be given (i) if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, (ii) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at the stockholder’s address, or (iii) if given by electronic mail (as defined in Section 232(d) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware), when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address (as defined in Section 232(d)(3) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) (unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail or such notice is prohibited by Section 232(e) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware). A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication is an important notice regarding the Corporation.

Any notice to stockholders under any provision of the law or these Bylaws provided by electronic transmission (other than any such notice given by electronic mail) may only be given in a form consented to by such stockholder, and any such notice by electronic transmission shall be deemed to be given as provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

Section 2. Waiver. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of the law or of these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. The written or electronic waiver need not specify the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Attendance at the meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware to be included in the notice of the meeting but not so included, if such objection is expressly made at the meeting.

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 1. Directors and Executive Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and executive officers (for the purposes of this Article IX, “executive officers” shall have the meaning defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the 1934 Act) to the extent not prohibited by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable law; provided, however, that the Corporation may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and executive officers; and, provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized by the Board of the Corporation, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable law or (iv) such indemnification is required to be made under subsection (d).

 

Section 2. Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents. The Corporation shall have power to indemnify its other officers, employees and other agents as set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable law. The Board shall have the power to delegate the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any such person except executive officers to such officers or other persons as the Board shall determine.

 

Section 3. Expenses. The Corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or executive officer, of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or executive officer of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with such proceeding provided, however, that if the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or executive officer in his or her capacity as a director or executive officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this section or otherwise.

 

13

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to Section 5 of this Article IX, no advance shall be made by the Corporation to an executive officer of the Corporation (except by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the Corporation in which event this Section 3 shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by a majority vote of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, even if not a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.

 

Section 4. Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and executive officers under this Article IX shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the Corporation and the director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this section to a director or executive officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. To the extent permitted by law, the claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an executive officer of the Corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the Corporation) for advances, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or executive officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this section or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

Re: Transaction Bonus Agreement

 

Dear [●]:

 

As you know, eMagin Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated May 17, 2023, with Samsung Display Co., Ltd., a Korean corporation (“Parent”), and the other parties enumerated therein, pursuant to which the Company will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Transaction”). In consideration for your efforts in connection with the Transaction, the Company is pleased to offer you the opportunity to receive an employee transaction bonus if you agree to the terms and conditions contained in this letter agreement (this “Agreement”), which shall be effective as of the date you execute and return a copy of this Agreement. In the event the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall be null and void.

 

1.            Transaction Bonus.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, you will be eligible to receive a cash bonus in the aggregate amount of $[●] (the “Transaction Bonus”), less applicable tax withholdings and other authorized or required deductions. You will receive the Transaction Bonus on or as soon as practicable following the date of the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”), subject to your continued employment through the Closing Date.

 

2.            No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in this Agreement will (i) confer upon you any right to continued employment with the Company (or its subsidiaries or their respective successors) through the Closing Date or any other period whatsoever or to (ii) interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or its subsidiaries or their respective successors) to terminate your employment at any time.

 

3.            Other Benefits. The Transaction Bonus is a special payment to you and will not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation for purposes of determining any severance, bonus, incentive, pension, retirement, death or other benefit under any other severance, bonus, incentive, pension, retirement, insurance or other employee benefit plan of the Company, unless the Company decides in its sole discretion otherwise.

 

4.            Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed under and in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to rules relating to conflicts of laws.

 

5.            Counterparts; Originals. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any facsimile or pdf copy, or electronic signature, of any party’s executed counterpart of this Agreement will be deemed to be an executed original thereof.

 

6.            Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the Transaction Bonus and supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between you and the Company with respect to the Transaction Bonus, whether written or oral. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by you and the Company. By signing this Agreement below, you acknowledge and agree that no promises or representations, oral or written, have been made by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates regarding the subject matter hereof other than those set forth herein, and that you have not relied on any other promises or representations in signing this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

7.            Section 409A Compliance. The intent of the parties is that the Transaction Bonus be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

 

8.            280G Cutback.

 

(a)            Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the amount of any compensation, payment or distribution by the Company to or for your benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, calculated in a manner consistent with Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the applicable regulations thereunder (the “Aggregate Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the sum of all of the Aggregate Payments shall be $1.00 less than the amount at which you become subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided that such reduction shall only occur if it would result in you receiving a higher After Tax Amount (as defined below) than you would receive if the Aggregate Payments were not subject to such reduction. In such event, the Aggregate Payments shall be reduced in the following order, in each case, in reverse chronological order beginning with the Aggregate Payments that are to be paid the furthest in time from consummation of the transaction that is subject to Section 280G of the Code: (i) cash payments not subject to Section 409A of the Code; (ii) cash payments subject to Section 409A of the Code; (iii) equity-based payments and acceleration; and (iv) non-cash forms of benefits; provided that in the case of all the foregoing Aggregate Payments all amounts or payments that are not subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c) shall be reduced before any amounts that are subject to calculation under Treas. Reg. §1.280G-1, Q&A-24(b) or (c).

 

(b)            For purposes of this Section 8, the “After Tax Amount” means the amount of the Aggregate Payments less all federal, state, and local income, excise and employment taxes imposed on you as a result of your receipt of the Aggregate Payments. For purposes of determining the After Tax Amount, you shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income taxation applicable to individuals for the calendar year in which the determination is to be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of individual taxation in each applicable state and locality, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes.

 

(c)            The determination as to whether a reduction in the Aggregate Payments shall be made pursuant to Section 8(a) shall be made by Golden Parachute Tax Solutions, LLC (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and you at such time as is reasonably requested by the Company or you. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and you.

 

9.            Voluntary Nature of this Agreement. The Transaction Bonus and this Agreement are a voluntary decision being offered to you. You understand that accepting this Transaction Bonus is optional.

 

Please confirm your acceptance of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement by signing and dating this letter agreement below and returning it to me on or before [].

Samsung Display Completes Acquisition of eMagin

 

HOPEWELL JUNCTION, N.Y. and SEOUL, REPUBLIC OF KOREA – eMagin Corporation (NYSE American: EMAN) (“eMagin” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based leader in the development, design, and manufacture of Active-Matrix OLED microdisplays for high-resolution, AR/VR and other near-eye imaging products, today announced the completion of its acquisition by Samsung Display Co., Ltd. (“Samsung Display”), a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and manufacturer and distributor of display products, for $2.08 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $218 million.

 

“I know I speak for everyone at eMagin when I say that we are very excited to be teaming with Samsung Display, a global leader in display technology,” said Andrew G. Sculley, eMagin’s Chief Executive Officer. “Together, we will be able to achieve the full potential of eMagin's next-generation AR/VR solutions. In the near term, our customers will benefit from significant improvements to our production capabilities in terms of yield, efficiency, and quality control. Over the longer term, we will look to develop new applications and new markets for our microdisplay technology.”

 

“We will continue to operate under the eMagin name in our Hopewell Junction, New York facilities and serve our valued military, medical and commercial customers. We are confident that, with the assistance of Samsung Display, we can reach even greater levels of quality, resolution and luminance for our displays and accelerate the development of our Direct Patterning Technology, dPd.”

 

“The eMagin team shares Samsung Display’s commitment to connecting people and technology in meaningful and valuable ways by creating displays that go beyond the user’s imagination,” said Joo Sun Choi, President and CEO of Samsung Display. “We will provide the scale, platform and complementary technologies that eMagin needs to accelerate its growth while we leverage our combined teams and resources to produce greater value for our customers. We look forward to helping eMagin achieve its goal of transforming the way the world consumes information.”

 

With the completion of the transaction, shares of eMagin common stock have ceased trading and, once the delisting application becomes effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), will no longer be listed on the NYSE American exchange.

 

The parties have selected Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as the paying agent for the merger consideration.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the potential benefits thereof, its business and industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by the Company and Samsung Display, all of which are subject to change. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “might,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “target,” similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and are not guarantees of future results, such as statements about the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements, are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on eMagin’s business and general economic conditions; (ii) eMagin’s ability to implement its business strategy; (iii) potential litigation relating to the transaction; (iv) the risk that disruptions from the transaction will harm eMagin’s business, including current plans and operations; (v) the ability of eMagin to retain and hire key personnel; (vi) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the transaction; (vii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting eMagin’s business; (viii) general economic and market developments and conditions; (ix) the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which eMagin operates; and (x) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as eMagin’s response to any of the aforementioned factors. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the transaction, are more fully discussed in the Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the SEC in connection with the transaction. Additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements are included under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC and any subsequent reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K filed from time to time and available at www.sec.gov. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the Definitive Proxy Statement are, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. The forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof. The Company does not assume any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.
