ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. On May 7, 1998, the Registrant acquired Essential Communication Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Essential"), by the merger (the "Essential Merger") of ECC Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant ("ECC"), with and into Essential. The Essential Merger was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 30, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Registrant, ECC and Essential. As a result of the Essential Merger, the Registrant became the owner of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Essential and (a) each outstanding share of the Series A Preferred Stock of Essential was converted into the right to receive $3.75 in cash, (b) each outstanding share of the Series B Preferred Stock of Essential was converted into the right to receive $5.00 in cash, and (c) each outstanding share of Essential Common Stock was converted into the right to receive approximately $0.75537 in cash and approximately 0.28577 of a share of the Registrant's Common Stock. The shares of the Registrant's Common Stock exchanged for shares of Essential Common Stock in the Merger are subject to the placement of an aggregate of approximately 101,790 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock, or approximately .0952 of a share of the Registrant's Common Stock for each share of Common Stock of Essential, into escrow for a period of twelve months to secure indemnification obligations pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The terms of the Essential Merger were the result of arm's-length negotiations among the Registrant and Essential. A total of approximately $5,807,550 in cash is payable, and approximately 409,000 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock are issuable, to former Essential stockholders and optionholders in exchange for the acquisition by the Registrant of all outstanding Essential capital stock and all unexpired and unexercised options to acquire Essential capital stock. Essential stock options to purchase Essential Common Stock were assumed by the Registrant and remain outstanding as options to purchase shares of the Registrant's Common Stock. All cash consideration from Registrant in this transaction was paid out of Registrant's existing working capital. All shares of Common Stock issued in this transaction were issued (and will be issued) out of Registrant's authorized but unissued Common Stock. Essential provides end-to-end gigabit networking solutions used in workgroups, backbones, cluster computing, storage management and visual computing, including High Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) switches and network interface cards. The Registrant intends to continue such business. The shares issued to the stockholders of Essential were issued pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Section 4(2) thereof. Immediately prior to the Essential Merger, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Essential were owned by the stockholders of Essential. The Registrant is not aware of any pre-existing material relationships between such stockholders and the Registrant, its affiliates, its directors or officers, or any associate of any such director or officer.
