ITEM 1.02

TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On November 7, 2018, the Company terminated its $1.5 million revolving line of credit and repaid its $3.7 million mortgage with Tradition Capital Bank, resulting in the termination of the related promissory notes, loan agreements and security agreements. There were no amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit at the time of termination.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note above and in Item 2.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.

ITEM 2.01

COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On November 7, 2018 (the “closing date”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, the merger was completed. At the effective time of the merger on the closing date (the “effective time”), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and the Company survived the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

At the effective time, each outstanding share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share, was automatically converted as a result of the merger into the right to receive $7.00 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes (the “merger consideration”), other than “excluded shares” which are shares owned by Parent, the Company or any subsidiary of Parent or the Company, which excluded shares were cancelled without any consideration.

At the effective time, each unexercised stock option (including tandem stock appreciation rights) was cancelled as a result of the merger in exchange for an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the merger consideration over the exercise price per share of common stock subject to such option multiplied by the number of shares of common stock subject to such option. Any outstanding options whose exercise price was equal to or greater than $7.00 per share was terminated and cancelled without any consideration being payable in respect thereof.

The aggregate consideration paid by Parent for the Company’s common stock and stock options in connection with the merger was approximately $21,588,000, which amount was funded through Parent’s cash on hand.

The foregoing description of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on September 6, 2018 and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 3.01

NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

On the closing date, the Company notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the merger had been completed. The Company also requested that Nasdaq (i) withdraw the Company’s common stock from listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market as of the close of business on November 7, 2018 and (ii) file with the SEC a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25 to effect the delisting the Company’s common stock and deregistration of the Company’s common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). On the closing date, in accordance with the Company’s request, Nasdaq filed the Form 25 with the SEC.

The Company intends to file with the SEC a certification and notice on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting that the registration of the Company’s common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act be terminated and that the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act be suspended.
