Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 14, 2007, Gene Logic Inc. (the "Company") entered into an asset
purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Ocimum Biosolutions
Limited, a company incorporated under the Company Act, 1956, in the Republic of
India ("Ocimum India") and its subsidiary, Ocimum Biosolutions Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Ocimum"). The Asset Purchase Agreement provides for the sale by
the Company to, and the purchase by Ocimum of, substantially all of the assets
of the Company's genomics business (the "Genomics Assets"), except for the
assets of the Company's molecular diagnostics business. The Board of Directors
of the Company has approved the sale pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement
and the other transactions contemplated thereby, subject to the approval by the
Company's stockholders. Pursuant to the Agreement, Ocimum will, subject to
certain terms and conditions, including approval by the Company's stockholders,
purchase the Genomics Assets for an aggregate purchase amount of (a) $10 million
(the "Purchase Price"), subject to increase or decrease in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Agreement and (b) the assumption by Ocimum of
certain liabilities of the Company. Seven million dollars of the Purchase Price
will be payable in cash at the closing of the transaction and three million
dollars will be paid pursuant to a promissory note from Ocimum and Ocimum India
to the Company to be delivered at closing and to be due eighteen (18) months
after the date of closing.
The Company will file a proxy statement and other documents regarding the
proposed asset sale with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
The definitive proxy statement will be sent to stockholders, seeking their
approval of the sale pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement at a special
meeting of stockholders. Stockholders are urged to read the proxy statement and
any other relevant documents filed with the SEC when they become available
because they will contain important information. A proxy statement will be
available free of charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. In addition,
investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the proxy statement and
other documents filed with the SEC when they become available by contacting the
Company.
The Company and its respective directors and executive officers may be
deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders
of the Company in connection with the transaction. Information about the Company
and its respective directors and executive officers is set forth in its proxy
statement and Annual Reports on Form 10-K, which can be found at www.sec.gov.
Additional information regarding the interests of those persons may be obtained
by reading the proxy statement when it becomes available.
The description of the Asset Purchase Agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.99 and incorporated herein by
reference.
