Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 17, 2011, Unidym, Inc. (“Unidym”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Arrowhead Research Corporation (“Arrowhead” or the “Company”) entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Unidym, Wisepower Co., Ltd. (“Wisepower”), a corporation of Republic of Korea, Unicycle Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Wisepower (“Merger Sub”), and, solely with respect to representations and warranties made in the Merger Agreement, Arrowhead. Wisepower is a publicly traded company in Korea (KOSDAQ: 040670). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Unidym will merge with Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Unidym remaining as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Wisepower (the “Surviving Company”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Unidym stockholders (the “Stockholders”) will receive: (1) an upfront payment of $5,000,000 of cash (the “Upfront Payment”), which will be used to purchase Wisepower common stock and convertible debt at the closing; (2) 50% of ongoing sales of certain products, resulting in potential payments to the Stockholders of up to $500,000 in the aggregate; (3) 40% of ongoing licensing revenue related to certain patents held by Unidym; (4) cash payment for any amount of “Cash On Hand” (as defined in the Merger Agreement) greater than $1,000,000 as of the Closing, which is expected to be nominal; and (5) up to $140,000,000 of contingent payments based on cumulative revenue milestones for ten years after the closing date (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration will be distributed to the Stockholders based on the liquidation preferences of the different classes and series of Unidym capital stock pursuant to the Unidym’s Certificate of Incorporation; based on these liquidation preferences, the Upfront Payment will only be paid to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Holders”), of which Arrowhead holds approximately 96%. The Merger was consummated on January 18, 2010.

Wisepower made a funding commitment to provide a total of $1,500,000 in cash in the next 30 days to support Unidym’s operations post-closing and is obligated to make commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to provide adequate resources so as to make it possible for the Stockholders to earn the full benefit of the payments based on cumulative revenue milestones.

Prior to the consummation of the Merger, Unidym made full payment to Arrowhead of approximately $1.3 million in payment of intercompany receivables and working capital loans.

As a condition to the closing of the Merger, Arrowhead, Wisepower and W&P and Company, a corporation of the Republic of Korea and an affiliate of Wisepower, Ltd., entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Agreement”) whereby the Series D Holders will use a portion of the Upfront Payment to acquire approximately 2.1 million shares of Wisepower common stock, valued at $2,500,000, at a price $1.2065 per share (the “Stock”). The Wisepower stock acquired under the Stock Agreement is subject to certain restrictions on sale, which restrictions expire in increments beginning 30 days after issuance. As a further condition to the merger, Arrowhead and Wisepower entered into a Bond Purchase Agreement (the “Bond Agreement”) whereby the Series D Holders will use the remainder of the Upfront Payment to purchase from Wisepower Convertible Bonds (the “Bonds”) in the principal amount of $2.5 million. Under the terms and conditions of the Bonds, the holders can convert the principal to Wisepower common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share commencing one year from issuance, or demand payment of the principal commencing after two years from issuance. The Bonds do not bear interest and are due three years from issuance. Based on Arrowhead’s relative ownership of the Series D Preferred Stock, it is entitled to approximately 96% of the Stock and the Bonds.

Based on Arrowhead’s ownership of Unidym Series C and Unidym Series B Preferred Stock, Arrowhead will receive approximately $21.6 million of the first $27.7 million in future potential payments to Unidym Stockholders, if any. Based on Arrowhead’s ownership of Unidym common stock, Arrowhead will receive 39% of future potential payments, if any, after the liquidation preferences of Unidym’s preferred stockholders are satisfied.

The foregoing is intended only as a summary of the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Stock Agreement and the Bond Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. If the Merger is consummated, the representations and warranties of Company, Arrowhead, Acquirer and Sub contained in this Agreement shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of and following the Effective Time, and only such covenants and agreements of Acquirer and Company in this Agreement that by their terms survive the Effective Time shall survive the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the expiration of the representations and warranties of Arrowhead have the effect of precluding Acquirer or the Surviving Corporation from asserting a claim for fraud, including fraud in the inducement.

10.2 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. The internal laws of the State of California, irrespective of its choice of law principles, will govern the validity of this Agreement, the construction of its terms, and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto. Each of the parties hereto (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Santa Clara County, California in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, including but not limited to a motion for forum of non conveniens or other actions or other motions asserting the aforementioned forum is inconvenient (and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto), (c) agrees that all claims in respect of the action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, and (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Any party may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at


the address and in the manner provided for giving of notices in Section 10.7. Nothing in this Section 10.2, however, will affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

10.3 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief as a remedy to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state or country having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The provisions of this Section 10.3 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Company Stockholders.

10.4 Assignment; Binding Upon Successors and Assigns. No party hereto may assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that any party, without the consent of any other party hereto, assign this Agreement and the Acquirer Ancillary Agreements (a) to any of its majority-owned Subsidiaries, (b) by operation of law, or (c) in connection with any merger, consolidation or sale of all or a significant portion of its assets or in connection with any similar transaction. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment in violation of this Section 10.4 will be void.

10.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is for any reason held to any extent to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement and the application thereof will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such provision with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the maximum extent legally permissible, the economic, business and other purposes of such provision.

10.6 Amendment and Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by Acquirer, Sub, and Company. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto as provided in this Section 10.6 at any time before or after approval of this Agreement by the Company Stockholders; provided, however, that, after such approval, no amendment will be made that by Applicable Laws requires the further approval of the Company Stockholders without obtaining such further approval. At any time prior to the Effective Time, each of Company and Acquirer, by action taken by its Board of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other contained herein or in any agreement, certificate or document delivered pursuant hereto; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to it contained herein or in any agreement, certificate or document delivered pursuant hereto; and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for its benefit contained herein or in any agreement, certificate or document delivered pursuant hereto. No such extension or waiver will be effective unless signed in writing by the party against whom such extension or waiver is asserted. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof or default in the performance hereof will not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other breach or default or any succeeding breach or default. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions hereof will not be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party thereafter to enforce such provisions.


10.7 Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement will be in writing and will be either hand delivered in person, sent by facsimile, sent by certified or registered first-class mail, postage pre-paid, or sent by nationally recognized express courier service.

COVENANTS OF THE SELLERS AND THE PURCHASER

During the ten-year period contemplated in Section 2.2 of the Merger Agreement, Wisepower will, and will cause Surviving Corporation to, provide Arrowhead and its authorized representatives and agents with access to material information relating to Unidym’s operations, prospects and financial results.

To the extent that any such information is confidential, Arrowhead shall agree to maintain such information in confidence.

5.02 Restrictions on Open-Market Sales.

(a) The Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will not sell any portion of the Shares in an open-market transaction prior to the following schedule:

 

Date

   Cumulative Portion of Shares Eligible for Sale by
Each Purchaser

30 days after Closing

   20%

90 days after Closing

   40%

180 days after Closing

   60%

270 days after Closing

   100%

The Purchaser covenants that any person or entity acquiring any portion of the Shares in a non-open-market transaction within 270 days from the Closing will, as a condition to any such transfer, agree to the foregoing restrictions on open-market sales. For so long as the foregoing restrictions are in place on proposed sales by the Purchaser, Park agrees, for himself and his Affiliates, that he and his Affiliates will not sell any shares of Wisepower common stock in excess of the portion of the Shares that are available for sale by the Purchaser. By way of example only, if the Purchaser is able to sell no more than 100,000 Shares in the aggregate after the first 30 days following Closing, then Park and his affiliates would similarly be able to sell no more than 100,000 shares of Wisepower common stock during that same time. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, none of the restrictions contained in this Section 5.02 shall apply to those

shares of Company common stock that may result from the exercise of stock options by certain directors of the Company, all as set forth in additional detail in Exhibit B.

(b) The foregoing restriction under this Section 5.02 shall expire upon the earlier of a Change of Control or Wisepower’s first public announcement of its intention to consummate a transaction that, if successfully completed, would reasonably be expected to constitute a Change of Control. Wisepower shall provide the Purchaser with prompt written notice (in any event within 24 hours) of the occurrence of either of the foregoing events relating to a Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean: (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, (ii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation pursuant to which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power of the resulting or successor entity (or its ultimate parent, if applicable) immediately upon completion of such transaction, (iii) the sale of a majority of the voting stock of the Company to a single person or entity or a group of affiliated persons or entities, or (iv) any other transaction in which the owners of the Company’s outstanding voting power prior to such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company or any successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction.

4. CONVERSION

4.1. Period and Price for Conversion

The right of a Bondholder to convert any Bond into shares of common stock, par value Won 100 (“Common Shares”), of the Company is hereinafter called the “Conversion Right”. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Condition, the Conversion Right attaching to any Bond may be exercised at the option of the holder thereof, at any time commencing on January 17, 2012 and ending on the earlier of: (a) repayment in full of the Bond, or (b) January 17, 2014 (the “Conversion Period”). The number of Common Shares to be issued will be determined by dividing the principal amount of the Bonds deposited for conversion by the Conversion Price of U.S. Dollars $2.00, subject to adjustment as set forth in Condition 4.3. By way of example only, if the Holder wished to convert $100 of indebtedness hereunder, that would result in the issuance of 50 Common Shares (subject to any appropriate adjustment of the conversion ratio).

If more than one Bond shall be deposited for conversion at any one time by the same holder and Common Shares to be issued on such conversion are to be issued to the same person, the number of Common Shares to be issued upon conversion thereof will be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds to be converted. Fractions of Common Shares will not be issued on conversion but upon conversion of the Bonds, the Company will pay in cash in U.S. dollar a sum equal to such portion of the principal amount of the Bond or Bonds deposited for conversion as corresponds to any amount of Common Shares not issued as aforesaid.

The price at which Common Shares will be issued upon conversion (the “Conversion Price”) will initially be U.S. Dollars $2.00 per Common Share, but will be subject to adjustment in the manner provided in Condition 4.3.

4.2. Procedure for Conversion

To exercise the Conversion Right attaching to any Bond, the holder thereof must complete, execute and deliver at his own expense at the specified office of the Company at which the Bond is deposited for conversion a notice of conversion (a “Conversion Notice”) in duplicate in the form (for the time being current) set out in Schedule 3 obtainable from the specified office of the Company, together with the relevant Certificate(s).

The name of the specified office of the Company is set out at the end of the Form of Certificate of Bonds.

As conditions precedent to the conversion, the Bondholder must pay to the Company all stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes and duties (if any) arising on conversion in any jurisdiction in which the Bond is deposited for conversion or payable in any jurisdiction consequent upon the issue or delivery of Common Shares or any other securities, property or cash to or to the order of a person other than the converting Bondholder, other than any taxes or duties payable in Korea by the Company in respect of the issue of Common Shares on conversion. Except as aforesaid, the Company will pay the expenses arising on the issue of Common Shares on conversion of the Bonds and all charges in connection therewith. The date on which any Bond and the Conversion Notice (in duplicate) relating thereto are deposited with the Company or, if later, the date on which all conditions precedent to the conversion thereof are fulfilled is hereinafter referred to as the “Conversion Date” applicable to such Bonds. A Conversion Notice once deposited may not be withdrawn without the consent in writing of the Company.

With effect from the Conversion Date, the Company will deem the converting Bondholder to have become the holder of record of the number of Common Shares to be issued to such Holder upon such conversion (disregarding any retroactive adjustment of the Conversion Price referred to below prior to the time such retroactive adjustment shall have become effective). Thereafter the Company will, subject to any applicable limitations then imposed by Korean laws and regulations, according to the request made in the relevant Conversion Notice, cause the share transfer agent of the Company as soon as practicable, and in any event within 15 business days after the Conversion Date, either (i) to deliver or cause to be delivered to the order of the person named for that purpose in the relevant Conversion Notice

 

13


at the specified office in Seoul for the time being of the share transfer agent of the Company a certificate or certificates for the relevant Common Shares registered in the name of the converting Bondholder or, in cases permitted under Korean law, any other person named for that purpose in the relevant Conversion Notice, together with any other securities, property or cash (including, without limitation, cash payable pursuant to paragraph 4.1 of this Condition) required to be delivered upon conversion and such assignments and other documents (if any) as may be required by law to effect the transfer thereof, or (ii) to register Korea Securities Depository (or its successor organization) as holder of the relevant number of Common Shares in the Company’s shareholders’ register and cause Korea Securities Depository (or its successor organization) to credit such Common Shares to the deposit account of the custodian designated by the converting Bondholder in the relevant Conversion Notice, together with any other securities, property or cash (including, without limitation, cash payable pursuant to this Condition) required to be delivered upon conversion and such assignments and other documents (if any) as may be required by law to effect the transfer thereof.

Any dividend on the Common Shares issued upon conversion of a Bond or Bonds in respect of the Dividend Accrual Period during which the relevant Conversion Date falls will be paid with respect to the full Dividend Accrual Period on the basis that the conversion took effect immediately before the beginning of such Dividend Accrual Period. No payment or adjustment will be made on conversion for any interest accrued on converted Bonds since the Interest Payment Date last preceding the relevant Conversion Date. The Common Shares issued upon conversion of the Bonds will in all other respects rank pari passu with the Common Shares in issue on the relevant Conversion Date (except for any right the record date for which precedes such Conversion Date and any other right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law). A “Dividend Accrual Period” means an annual period ending on December 31 in any year.

4.3. Adjustment of Conversion Price

The Conversion Price with respect to the Common Shares shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

4.3.1. Free Distribution, Sub-division, Consolidation or Reclassification of Shares.

(2) Effective Date of Adjustment

an adjustment made pursuant to this Condition 4.3.1 shall become effective immediately on the relevant event referred to above becoming effective or, if a Record Date is fixed therefor, immediately after such Record Date; provided that in case where the relevant event referred to above, under applicable Korean Law, requires to be approved by a general meeting of shareholders of the Company or a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company before being legally made, and which is so approved after the Record Date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution, such adjustment shall, immediately upon such approval being given by such meeting, become effective retroactively to immediately after such Record Date.

(2) Effective Date of Adjustment

(B) in the case of the issue of Shares for consideration other than cash, such non-cash consideration shall be valued at the fair value thereof, as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith (and in making such determination the Company shall consult a leading independent securities company or bank in Seoul selected by the Company and shall take fully into account the advice received from such company or bank) or, if pursuant to applicable Korean law such determination is to be made by application to a court of competent jurisdiction, as determined by such court or an appraiser appointed by such court, irrespective of the accounting treatment thereof;

A. in the case of the issue (whether initially or upon the exercise of rights or warrants) of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Company for such securities and (if applicable) rights or warrants plus the additional consideration (if any) to be received by the Company upon (and assuming) the conversion or exchange of such securities at the initial conversion or exchange price or rate and (if applicable) the exercise of such rights or warrants at the subscription or purchase price (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in Condition 4.3.12 (A) and 4.3.12 (B) above) and the Consideration per Share receivable by the Company shall be such aggregate consideration divided by the number of Shares issuable upon (and assuming) such conversion or exchange at the applicable conversion or exchange price or rate and (if applicable) the exercise of such rights or warrants at the applicable subscription or purchase;

B. in the case of the issue of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Shares, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Company for any such rights or warrants, plus the additional consideration to be received by the Company upon (and assuming) the exercise of such rights or warrants at the applicable subscription or purchase price (the consideration in each case to be determined in the same manner as provided in Condition 4.3.12 (A) and 4.3.12 (B) above) and the Consideration per Share receivable by the Company shall be such aggregate consideration, divided by the number of Shares issuable upon (and assuming) the exercise of such rights or warrants at the initial subscription or purchase price; and

4.3.14. Minor Adjustments

No adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease in such price of at least $0.01 ; provided that any adjustment which by reason of this Condition 4.3.14 is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account (as if such adjustment had been made at the time when it would have been made but for the provisions of this Condition 4.3.14) in any subsequent adjustment and upon the conversion of the Bond. All calculations under this Condition 4.3 shall, as applicable, be made to the nearest Won with half or more of a Won to be considered one Won, or to the nearest cent ($0.01), with half or more of one cent to be considered one cent.

In the event of simultaneous issues of two or more classes or series of share capital comprising Shares or rights or warrants in respect of, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, two or more classes or series of share capital comprising Shares, then, for the purposes of this Condition 4.3, the formula:

 

  NCP = OCP x    N + v   
       N + n   

shall be restated as

 

  NCP = OCP x    N + v1+  v2+ v3
