ITEM 2. |
ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS |
On
April 30, 2004, we closed upon the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of
Chesapeake Government Technologies, Inc., a Maryland corporation (Chesapeake),
pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 24, 2004 (the
Merger Agreement), by and among WidePoint Corporation (WidePoint),
Chesapeake Acquisition Corporation, Chesapeake and Mark C. Fuller, John D. Crowley and Jay
O. Wright, the sole shareholders of Chesapeake (the Shareholders). Chesapeake
is based in Potomac, Maryland and engaged in the business of serving government clients by
providing leading technologies and services. We issued 4,082,980 shares of Widepoint
Common Stock to the Shareholders in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Chesapeake owned by the Shareholders. In conjunction with this closing, the
Shareholders also entered into an Escrow Agreement with Widepoint and deposited 3,266,384
shares (the Escrowed Shares) of such 4,082,980 newly issued shares of
Widepoint Common Stock into escrow with the law firm of Foley & Lardner LLP (the
Escrow Agent).
The
Escrowed Shares will be released to the Shareholders in the event of the satisfaction of
the escrow release formula set forth in the Merger Agreement, which provides that during
the period commencing after the closing of this acquisition and ending on December 31,
2005 (the Escrow Release Period), the Escrowed Shares will be released to the
Shareholders in a ratio based on the amount of revenues actually received by WidePoint
from the business acquired from Chesapeake. The Escrow Release Period may be extended for
one additional year by WidePoint in the event WidePoint determines that the Shareholders
have achieved certain performance levels in the latter part of 2005. In the event
WidePoint does not receive certain levels of revenues from the business acquired from
Chesapeake, then any Escrowed Shares to which the Shareholders have not become entitled to
receive will be returned to WidePoint.
The
Merger Agreement also provides that in the event the revenues actually received by
Widepoint from the business acquired from Chesapeake equals or exceeds certain levels
during the Escrow Release Period, then Widepoint will prepare a proxy statement for its
then next ensuing Annual Meeting of Stockholders to ask its stockholders to vote upon a
proposal to increase the size of the Widepoint Board of Directors from a total of seven
persons to a total of nine persons, with one of the candidates for such two newly created
director positions to be nominated by the Shareholders and with the other candidate to be
mutually agreed upon between WidePoint and the Shareholders; provided, however that at any
time after the Shareholders are no longer employed by Widepoint, then the persons who are
serving on the Widepoint Board of Directors as designees of the Shareholders shall resign
from their positions as directors of Widepoint.

Pursuant
to the terms of the Merger Agreement, WidePoint caused Chesapeake, as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of WidePoint after the closing of this acquisition transaction, to enter into
employment/non-competition agreements with each of Mark C. Fuller and John D. Crowley and
a consulting agreement with Jay O. Wright. As part of the potential compensation that may
be earned by each of Messrs. Fuller, Crowley and Wright, WidePoint issued to each such
person a warrant to purchase 1,814,658 additional shares of WidePoint Common Stock at an
exercise price of $0.235 per share, with each such warrant only being exercisable in the
event that the revenues actually received by WidePoint from the business acquired from
Chesapeake exceed the maximum levels required for the Shareholders to receive all of the
Escrowed Shares.
