Agreement and Plan of Merger

On July 3, 2019, ATRM Holdings, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “ Company ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”) with Digirad Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ Parent ”), and Digirad Acquisition Corporation, a Minnesota corporation and newly-formed subsidiary of Parent (“ Merger Sub ”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “ Merger ”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.  The Merger Agreement was approved unanimously by the Company’s Board of Directors, following recommendation by a special committee of independent and disinterested directors.

At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Company common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares (i) owned by the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) owned by Parent or Merger Sub, or (iii) held by shareholders who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights under Minnesota law (collectively (i), (ii) and (iii), “ Excluded Shares ”)) will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive 0.03 shares of a newly created Series A non-convertible perpetual preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Parent (“ Series A Preferred Stock ”).  Each share of Company Common Series B preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than Excluded Shares) will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive 2.5 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including (i) approval by the Company’s shareholders, (ii)  the absence of any order, injunction, statute, rule, regulation or decree prohibiting, precluding, restraining, enjoining or making illegal the consummation of the Merger, (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party (including there not having occurred a material adverse effect), (iv) performance, in all material respects, of all obligations and compliance with, in all material respects, agreements and covenants to be performed or complied with by each party, (v) declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Parent, (vi) the completion of a $3,000,000 private placement of Series A Preferred Stock by the Parent and (vii) the execution of an agreement by and between the Parent and Jeffrey Eberwein, Parent’s Chairman of the Board, pursuant to which Parent shall have the right to require Mr. Eberwein to acquire 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $10 per share for aggregate proceeds of $1,000,000 at any time, in Parent’s discretion, during the 12 calendar months following the effective time of the Merger.  If the Merger is not consummated by November 30, 2019, either party has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement, subject to certain conditions.

The Company makes various representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including covenants regarding: (i) the conduct of the business of the Company prior to the consummation of the Merger, (ii) the calling and holding of a meeting of the Company’s shareholders to seek approval and (iii) the use of reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated.

Under the Merger Agreement, the Company is subject to a “no-shop” restriction on its ability to solicit offers or proposals relating to an alternative acquisition proposal or to provide information to or engage in discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding an alternative acquisition proposal. Until adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s shareholders, the Company may only furnish information to, and engage in discussions and negotiations with, third parties making unsolicited acquisition proposals that the Company’s Board of Directors determines are reasonably likely to lead to a superior proposal and to terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal.  The Merger Agreement provides Parent certain rights to negotiate adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement upon a superior proposal.  The “no-shop” provision also includes a “fiduciary-out,” which permits the Company Board of Directors to change its recommendation that shareholders vote in favor of the Merger if the Board of Directors conclude that a change is advisable to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.  The Merger Agreement also provides Parent with certain rights to negotiate adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement in order to avoid such change in Board recommendation.

The Merger Agreement allows the Company and Parent to terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances.  Parent may terminate if: (i) the Company Board of Directors changes its recommendation to shareholders to vote in favor of the transaction in accordance with the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Company breaches the Merger Agreement, or (iii) if the Company enters into an acquisition agreement with a third party following the receipt of a superior proposal. The Company may terminate if it enters into an acquisition agreement with a third party following the receipt of a superior proposal or if Parent breaches the Merger Agreement.  Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances (including upon acceptance of a superior proposal or a change in recommendation under the “fiduciary out”), the Company must pay Parent a termination fee of $725,000 and reimburse Parent for documented out-of-pocket expenses up to $225,000.

The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement (i) have been made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement; (ii) have been qualified by (a) matters specifically disclosed in any reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) and (b) confidential disclosures made to Parent and Merger Sub in connection with the Merger Agreement; (iii) are subject to materiality qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement that may differ from what may be viewed as “material” by investors; (iv) are made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the date the Merger closes, or such other date as is specified in the Merger Agreement; and (v) have been included in the Merger Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the contracting parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement is included with this filing to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties or covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be reflected fully or at all in the Company’s public disclosures. The Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but must be read in conjunction with the other information regarding the Company that is or will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other documents that the Company files or has filed with the SEC.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Voting and Support Agreement

On July 3, 2019, in connection with the Merger Agreement, Parent entered into a voting and support agreement (the “ Voting Agreement ”) with all of the holders of the Company’s preferred stock and approximately 17.4% of the Company’s common stock. The Company has been advised that under the terms of the Voting Agreement, each of the referenced shareholders agreed, among other things, to vote, and irrevocably appointed Parent as its proxy to vote, all of their shares in favor of the approval of the Merger and adoption of the Merger Agreement.   The Voting Agreement terminates on the earlier of (a) the effective date of the Merger and (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is attached  as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed today by Parent.
