Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On December 20, 2018, Glowpoint, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Glowpoint ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”) with Glowpoint Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Glowpoint (the “ Merger Sub ”), and SharedLabs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ SharedLabs ”). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) Glowpoint will effect a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“ Common Stock ”), at a ratio to be approved by Glowpoint’s stockholders and board of directors, and which ratio, as set forth in the Merger Agreement, will not be greater than 1-for-30 without SharedLabs’ approval; (ii) the Merger Sub will merge with and into SharedLabs (the “ Merger ”), with SharedLabs surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glowpoint; and (iii) in connection therewith, each share of capital stock of SharedLabs issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger (other than Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive shares of Glowpoint’s Common Stock (the “ Merger Consideration ”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Consideration will consist of an aggregate of 112,802,326 shares of Common Stock (on a pre-reverse stock split basis), subject to certain adjustments based upon the completion by SharedLabs of a private placement of equity securities for at least $5 million of net cash proceeds (the “ SharedLabs Equity Financing ”), the execution of one or more term sheets by SharedLabs with lending institutions for one or more credit facilities aggregating not less than $16 million in borrowing capacity subject to a maximum interest rate (the “ SharedLabs Term Sheet ”), and the working capital of each of Glowpoint and SharedLabs at closing compared to a target working capital for each of Glowpoint and SharedLabs. Warrants to purchase shares of SharedLabs common stock that remain outstanding as of the Effective Time will be converted into warrants to purchase shares of Glowpoint Common Stock, and a portion of the Merger Consideration will be reserved for the future exercise of such warrants. Subject to the adjustments described above, upon consummation of the proposed merger, the stockholders of Glowpoint existing prior to the transaction would collectively own an approximately 34% interest in the combined company and the stockholders of SharedLabs existing prior to the transaction would collectively own an approximately 66% interest in the combined company.

The completion of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including (i) the receipt of all required approvals of the stockholders of Glowpoint and SharedLabs and any required third-party consents and regulatory clearances, including receipt of required approvals from the NYSE American, (ii) the absence of any governmental order or law that makes consummation of the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibited, (iii) the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Glowpoint pursuant to which the shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), (iv) the shares of Glowpoint Common Stock to be issued in the merger being approved for listing on the NYSE American stock exchange, (v) the completion of the SharedLabs Equity Financing and the execution by SharedLabs of the SharedLabs Term Sheet, (vi) the satisfaction and termination prior to closing of all contracts or other agreements to which SharedLabs is a party that provide a counterparty with redeemable or contingent common stock or a guaranteed return, (vii) the redemption of each share of issued and outstanding redeemable SharedLabs common stock, (viii) Glowpoint’s redemption, conversion or amendment of the terms of its Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock, and (ix) the receipt by each party of a customary opinion that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is also conditioned upon the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality exceptions) and the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Merger Agreement. If SharedLabs fails to meet its obligations under either of its debt or equity financing closing conditions, Glowpoint may elect to proceed to close the merger with a reduction in the shares of its Common Stock to be issued to SharedLabs’ stockholders in the transaction, on terms set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (i) each outstanding option to purchase Glowpoint Common Stock granted pursuant to an equity incentive plan of Glowpoint (a “ Glowpoint Option ”) will, to the extent outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto, become fully vested and, without any action on the part of any




holder thereof, be automatically canceled in exchange for the right to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, the number of shares of Glowpoint Common Stock subject to such Glowpoint Stock Option; (ii) each outstanding share of restricted stock granted pursuant to an equity incentive plan of Glowpoint will, to the extent outstanding and subject to vesting or forfeiture conditions immediately prior thereto, become fully vested or released from such forfeiture conditions and be treated as shares of Glowpoint Common Stock for all purposes; and (iii) each outstanding restricted stock unit granted pursuant to an equity incentive plan of Glowpoint (other than certain restricted stock units excluded in the Merger Agreement) (a “ Glowpoint RSU ”) will, to the extent outstanding and subject to vesting or forfeiture conditions immediately prior thereto, become fully vested or released from such forfeiture conditions and, without any action on the part of any holder thereof, be automatically converted into the right to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, the number of shares of Glowpoint Common Stock subject to such Glowpoint RSU.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of Glowpoint and SharedLabs relating to their respective businesses and financial statements and, in the case of Glowpoint, its public filings, in each case generally subject to customary materiality qualifiers. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides for customary pre-closing covenants of Glowpoint and SharedLabs, including covenants relating to conducting their respective businesses in the ordinary course and to refrain from taking certain actions without the other party’s consent. The Merger Agreement also contains termination rights for each of Glowpoint and SharedLabs, including, among other customary termination provisions, (i) if the consummation of the Merger does not occur on or before May 15, 2019, subject to extensions to not later than December 20, 2019 for the sole purpose of obtaining regulatory clearances, (ii) if the stockholders of Glowpoint or SharedLabs fail to approve the Merger, (iii) subject to certain conditions, if Glowpoint’s board of directors changes its recommendation in favor of the Merger or if Glowpoint wishes to terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), and (iv) if SharedLabs fails to complete the SharedLabs Equity Financing, as applicable. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including the termination by (x) SharedLabs in the event of a change of recommendation by Glowpoint’s board of directors, (y) Glowpoint in order to enter into an agreement providing for a Superior Proposal or (z) SharedLabs in the event of a material breach of certain representations, warranties or covenants of Glowpoint in the Merger Agreement, Glowpoint would be required to reimburse SharedLabs for its transaction expenses up to a cap of $1.0 million and pay to SharedLabs a termination fee equal to $250,000. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including the termination by Glowpoint in the event of a material breach of certain representations, warranties or covenants of SharedLabs in the Merger Agreement, SharedLabs would be required to reimburse Glowpoint for its transaction expenses up to a cap of $1.0 million and pay to Glowpoint a termination fee equal to $250,000. In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated because of a failure of SharedLabs to complete the SharedLabs Equity Financing, SharedLabs would be required to reimburse Glowpoint for its transaction expenses up to a cap of $1.0 million. In the event that a terminating party has the right to terminate pursuant to multiple provisions, such terminating party may elect which provision pursuant to which it is terminating the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Glowpoint’s board of directors will consist of seven members after the completion of the Merger, of which one member may be appointed by the members of Glowpoint’s board existing prior to closing and the remaining members will be appointed by the members of SharedLabs’ board existing prior to closing.
The Merger Agreement includes a 45-day “go-shop” provision that allows Glowpoint and its advisors to actively solicit and negotiate with other potential acquirers to determine whether they are interested in making a proposal to acquire Glowpoint. Accordingly, Glowpoint will be free to solicit and engage in discussions and negotiations with respect to competing acquisition proposals through February 3, 2019. The Merger Agreement provides that, Glowpoint, during the period from the end of the go-shop period until the Effective Time, and SharedLabs, during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the Effective Time, will be subject to certain restrictions on its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties, to provide non-public information to third parties and to engage in discussions with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals, subject to customary exceptions. Each of Glowpoint and SharedLabs is required to call a meeting of its stockholders to approve the Merger Agreement, and, subject to certain exceptions, to recommend that its stockholders approve the Merger Agreement.




The board of directors of Glowpoint has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Glowpoint and its stockholders, (ii) adopted and approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (iii) directed that the Merger Agreement be submitted to Glowpoint’s stockholders for approval and (iv) resolved to recommend the approval of the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, by Glowpoint’s stockholders, who will be asked to vote on such approval at a special meeting of the Glowpoint stockholders.
The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Glowpoint or SharedLabs. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement as of the specific dates therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement.
The above description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is only a summary and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

On December 20, 2018, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Glowpoint entered into a voting agreement with each of Jason M. Cory, Mark T. Dinkle and Kishor Khandavalli, each of which is an officer and/or director of SharedLabs, and SharedLabs entered into a voting agreement with each of Patrick J. Lombardi, Kenneth Archer, David Giangano, Peter Holst, James S. Lusk and David Clark, each of which is an officer and/or director of Glowpoint (collectively, the “ Voting Agreements ”). Each Voting Agreement requires, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, that the stockholder subject thereto vote or cause to be voted all Glowpoint or SharedLabs, as applicable, voting capital stock owned by such stockholder in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The forms of the Voting Agreements executed by the Glowpoint and SharedLabs stockholders listed above are included as Exhibits B and C, respectively, to the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward Looking and Cautionary Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements as defined under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities that Glowpoint or SharedLabs assumes, plans, expects, believes, intends, projects, estimates or anticipates (and other similar expressions) will, could, should or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Glowpoint’s and SharedLabs’ actual results may differ materially from their expectations, estimates and projections, and consequently you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this report include statements regarding Glowpoint’s and SharedLabs’ future performance and the anticipated financial impacts of the business combination, the success of any business development initiatives to be pursued by Glowpoint or SharedLabs, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the business combination, including the debt and equity financings to be pursued by SharedLabs,




and the timing or success of the completion of the business combination. The forward-looking statements in this report are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events, and involve significant factors, risks, and uncertainties that may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from such statements. Most of these factors are outside of the control of Glowpoint or SharedLabs and are difficult to predict, and include, among other things, (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could cause the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Glowpoint or SharedLabs following this announcement and the pursuit of the business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (3) the inability to complete the business combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Glowpoint or SharedLabs or failure to satisfy any other conditions to closing included in the Merger Agreement; (4) risks related to SharedLabs’ equity and debt financing conditions to closing; (5) the risk that the pursuit or execution of the business combination will disrupt current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the negotiation and consummation of the business combination; (8) risks related to the disruption of the transaction to the parties and their management; (9) the effect of the announcement of the Merger Agreement on the parties’ ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and other third parties; and (10) other risks and uncertainties identified in Glowpoint’s and SharedLabs’ filings with the SEC, including in Glowpoint’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2017 and in other filings made by Glowpoint with the SEC from time to time, including Glowpoint’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and including in SharedLabs’ Form S-1 Registration Statement filed May 15, 2018 (File No. 333-224954) (including all amendments thereto) and in other filings made by SharedLabs with the SEC from time to time. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Glowpoint and SharedLabs caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any of these factors could cause Glowpoint’s and SharedLabs’ actual results and plans to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, Glowpoint and SharedLabs can give no assurance that their future results will be as estimated. Glowpoint and SharedLabs do not intend to, and disclaim any obligation to, correct, update or revise any information contained herein to reflect any change in expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, other than as required by applicable law.

-5-


(d)      No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in respect of shares of Company Common Stock that are to be converted in the Merger into the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock. If any fractional share of Parent Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable to a holder of a Certificate (other than holders of Certificates representing Excluded Shares) or a Company Warrant or other convertible security of the Company pursuant to the Merger Consideration, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to such holder of a Certificate or a Company Warrant or other convertible security of the Company in the Merger will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock;
(e)      If, on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, Parent splits, combines into a smaller number of shares, or issues by reclassification any shares of Parent Common Stock (other than in the Reverse Stock Split), then the Merger Consideration and any dependent items shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action, and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Merger Consideration or other dependent item, as applicable, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this sentence; and

(g)      If the Company fails to convert debt or preferred stock securities issued in the Company Private Placements that are convertible into shares of Company Common Stock, into shares of Company Common Stock no later than the Effective Time pursuant to Section 8.2(c) (a “ Convertible Commitment ”), and the Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to waive the condition set forth in Section 8.2(c) and proceed to Closing, then the Parent and the Company agree to negotiate in good faith to calculate an adjustment to the Merger Consideration and/or provide for the Parent’s reservation of shares out of the Merger Consideration in light of the Convertible Commitment or, failing the parties’ agreement on such terms, the Parent and the Company agree to retain a nationally recognized third-party advisory firm reasonable acceptable to both parties, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to calculate an adjustment to the Merger Consideration and/or provide for the Parent’s reservation of shares out of the Merger Consideration in light of the Convertible Commitment.
2.2      Exchange Ratio Closing Adjustment .
(a)      At least five (5) Business Days before the Closing, the Company shall provide the Parent with (1) a written certification of the Target Net Proceeds, any Target Net Proceeds Shortfall, if applicable, the Target Blended Interest Rate, the Committed Blended Rate, if applicable, and the Calculated Annual Interest Cost Increase, if applicable, signed by the chief executive or chief financial officer of the Company, and (2) a calculation of (i) the reduction in the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as the Merger Consideration and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, in accordance with Sections 2.2(b) and/or 2.2(c) . If Parent objects to such calculations in writing, Parent and Company shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within five (5) Business Days, and, if the same are so resolved within such time period, the Exchange

-6-


Ratio, as agreed upon by the Parent and Company, shall be final and binding. If Parent and Company are unable to resolve any differences within the period specified in the foregoing sentence, such disputed items shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant, whose determination shall be final and binding on the Parent and Company. The parties shall adjust the Closing Date as necessary for the Independent Accountant to make its determination, but shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to promptly make its determination so they can close the Merger within the originally scheduled timeframe.
(b)      In the event that there is a Target Net Proceeds Shortfall, and the Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to waive the condition set forth in Section 8.2(c) and proceed to Closing, the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Target Net Proceeds Shortfall divided by $0.30, and as a consequence of such reduction, the Exchange Ratio per share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) shall be adjusted accordingly.
(c)      If:
(i)      the Company fails to obtain and deliver to the Parent a signed Term Sheet pursuant to Section 7.1 on or before 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on the date that is the tenth day following the date hereof, and the Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to waive the condition set forth in Section 8.2(e) and proceed to Closing, then Parent may reduce the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued at the Effective Time as part of the Merger Consideration by an amount equal to 7.5% of the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be included in the Merger Consideration under Section 2.1 and, as a consequence of such reduction, the Exchange Ratio per share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) shall be adjusted accordingly (such reduced shares of Parent Common Stock being the “ Reduced Shares ”). Parent shall place the Reduced Shares in escrow with the Escrow Agent and shall cause such Reduced Shares to be issued to the Company Stockholders, on a per share of Company Common Stock basis in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, upon Surviving Company’s obtaining, no later than 90 days after Closing, a credit facility for at least the Target Loan Amount and with a weighted average interest rate of not more than the Target Blended Interest Rate. If Surviving Company does not obtain a credit facility for at least the Target Loan Amount and with a weighted average interest rate of not more than the Target Blended Interest Rate by 90 days after Closing, then the Parent shall be permitted to cancel the Reduced Shares placed into escrow pursuant to the foregoing sentence; or
(ii)      the Company obtains and delivers to the Parent a signed Term Sheet pursuant to Section 7.1 on or before 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on the date that is the tenth day following the date hereof, with the exception that the weighted average interest rate per annum for all loans set forth in the Term Sheet (the “ Committed Blended Rate ) exceeds the Target Blended Interest Rate, and the Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to waive the condition set forth in Section 8.2(e) and proceed to Closing, then the Parent may elect, at its option, to reduce the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration by an amount equal to (1) the Calculated Annual Interest Cost Increase, divided by (2) $0.30, and as a consequence of such reduction, adjust the Exchange Ratio per share of Company

-7-


Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) accordingly. As used herein, the “ Calculated Annual Interest Cost Increase shall be calculated as (i) the excess of the Committed Blended Rate (which for purposes of this calculation only shall include the cost of any stock derivatives to be issued to lenders in connection with such financing, which stock derivatives will be valued using Black Scholes) over the Target Blended Interest Rate, multiplied by (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest under the Company’s outstanding debt as of Closing, multiplied by (iii) two (2) (representing a period of two years); provided that each of Section 2.2(c)(i) and Section 2.2(c)(ii) shall be mutually exclusive and no amount of Parent Common Stock shall be placed in escrow if the Exchange Ratio is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii) and no adjustment to the Exchange Ratio shall be made pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii) if shares of Parent Common Stock are placed in escrow pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) ; provided further that , in the event that both Sections 2.2(c)(i) and (ii) apply, the Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect which section to apply to reduce the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration.
(d)      If both Section 2.2(b) and (c) apply, and the Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to waive the conditions set forth in Sections 8.2(c) and 8.2(e) and proceed to Closing, each such section shall apply independently of the other to reduce the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration and to adjust the Exchange Ratio.
(e)      At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of the Company Closing Working Capital (the “ Estimated Company Closing Working Capital ”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (giving effect to the application of the net cash proceeds of the Company Private Placements), its calculation of such Estimated Company Closing Working Capital (the “ Estimated Company Closing Working Capital Statement ”), and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company that the Estimated Company Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”), applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such Estimated Company Closing Working Capital Statement was being prepared and audited as of a fiscal year end. As used herein, the “ Post-Closing Company Adjustment ” shall be an amount equal to the Company Closing Working Capital set forth in the Company Closing Working Capital Statement minus the Estimated Company Closing Working Capital.
(f)      At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing, the Parent shall prepare and deliver to Company a statement setting forth its good faith estimate of the Parent Closing Working Capital (the “ Estimated Parent Closing Working Capital ”), which statement shall contain an estimated balance sheet of the Parent as of the Closing Date, its calculation of such Estimated Parent Closing Working Capital (the “ Estimated Parent Closing Working Capital Statement ”), and a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Parent that the Estimated Parent Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied using the same

-8-


accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such Estimated Parent Closing Working Capital Statement was being prepared and audited as of a fiscal year end. As used herein, the “ Post-Closing Parent Adjustment ” shall be an amount equal to the Parent Closing Working Capital set forth in the Parent Closing Working Capital Statement minus the Estimated Parent Closing Working Capital.
(g)      In the event: (i) the Estimated Company Closing Working Capital is a deficit greater than $(12,849,307), (ii) the balance on the Company’s seller notes issued by the Company in connection with the Company’s acquisition of iTech US, Inc. as of Closing exceeds $1,000,000, (iii) the balance on the Company’s financing lines and/or advances as of Closing exceeds $10,000,000, and/or (iv) the balance of the Company’s long-term debt as of Closing is greater than $914,981, being the balance of the Company’s long-term debt as of June 30, 2018, the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration shall be reduced, for each such case, by an amount equal to (i) the amount of any such excess, divided by (ii) $0.30, and as a consequence of such reduction, the Exchange Ratio per share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) shall be adjusted accordingly.
(h)      In the event the Estimated Parent Closing Working Capital is less than $0, the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to (i) the amount of any such shortfall, divided by (ii) $0.30, and as a consequence of such increase, the Exchange Ratio per share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) shall be adjusted accordingly.
2.3      Exchange Ratio Post-Closing Adjustment
(a)      Within 15 days following the Closing, an accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board reasonable acceptable to both parties, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the “ Independent Accountant ”), shall prepare and deliver to Parent a statement setting forth its calculation of the Company Closing Working Capital (giving effect to the application of the net cash proceeds from the Company Private Placements) (the “ Company Closing Working Capital Statement ”).

In the event any Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party, Parent and the Surviving Company shall each use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of such matter, provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim (in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder) without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party if and to the extent the claimant seeks any non-monetary relief (including any admission of liability or guilt) from such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to control the defense of any action, suit, investigation or proceeding with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to Parent and Parent and the Surviving Company shall cooperate in the defense thereof; provided, that Parent shall not be liable for the fees of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties, other than local counsel, unless a conflict of interest shall be caused thereby. The indemnification and advancement obligations of Parent and the Surviving Company pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall extend to acts or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time and any Claim relating thereto (including, but not limited to, any acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement by the Company Board and the Company’s stockholders and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and any Claim relating

-63-


thereto) and all rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to an individual who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Effective Time and shall inure to the benefit of such individual’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. In connection with any determination as to whether the Indemnified Parties are entitled to the benefits of this Section 7.9 , the burden of proof shall be on Parent and the Surviving Company to establish that an Indemnified Party is not so entitled. As used in this Section 7.9(a) , (A) the term “ Claim ” means any threatened, asserted, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, or any inquiry or investigation, whether instituted by the Company, any Governmental Entity or any other party, that any Indemnified Party in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, including any arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution mechanism, arising out of or pertaining to matters that relate to such Indemnified Party’s duties or service as a director or officer of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, any employee benefit plan maintained by any of the foregoing at or prior to the Effective Time and any other Person at the request of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries; and (B) the term “ Expenses ” means reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations (including experts’ fees, travel expenses, court costs, retainers, transcript fees, duplicating, printing and binding costs, as well as telecommunications, data, postage and courier charges) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in, any Claim for which indemnification is authorized pursuant to this Section 7.9(a) , including any action relating to a claim for indemnification or advancement brought by an Indemnified Party.
(b)      From the Effective Time and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, Parent and the Surviving Company shall keep in full force and effect, and comply with the terms and conditions of, any agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement between or among the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and, in each case, any Indemnified Party providing for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to such Indemnified Party.
(c)      Without limiting any of the obligations under Section 7.9(a) , Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses and all limitations of liability existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub or in the corresponding constituent documents of any of their Subsidiaries as in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter, without any amendment thereto.
(d)      If Parent or the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Company, as the case may be (including Parent’s ultimate

-64-


parent entity, if applicable), assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Company set forth in this Section 7.9 .
(e)      Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Parent’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Parent’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “ D&O Insurance ”), in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Parent’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Parent’s existing policies with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby). If the Parent for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Parent shall continue to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time, the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with the Parent’s current insurance carrier or with an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Parent’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Parent’s existing policies as of the date hereof, or the Parent shall purchase from the Parent’s current insurance carrier or from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Parent’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than as provided in the Parent’s existing policies as of the date hereof; provided, however, that Parent and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall not be required to spend as a premium therefor an amount in excess of $252,000 and (iii) if, during such six (6) year period, such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at all or can be obtained only for an amount in excess of $252,000, Parent and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be obtained as much directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage as can be obtained for $252,000, on terms and conditions substantially similar to the Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
(f)      The provisions of this Section 7.9 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent or the Surviving Company under this Section 7.9 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party under this Section 7.9 without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party. Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Company under this Section 7.9 . Parent and the Surviving Company, jointly and severally, shall pay all expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, that an Indemnified Party may incur in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 7.9 .

The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.6      Specific Performance . The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions and that, accordingly, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief sought in accordance with this Section 10.6 on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

10.8      Severability . Any term or provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, and if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, in all cases so long as neither the economic nor legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or its stockholders.

Glowpoint and SharedLabs Execute Definitive Merger Agreement
DENVER, CO and JACKSONVILLE, FL - December 21, 2018 - Glowpoint, Inc. (NYSE American: GLOW ) (“Glowpoint”), a managed service provider of video collaboration and network applications, and SharedLabs, Inc. (“SharedLabs”), a privately held software and technology services company located in Jacksonville, Florida, today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) for the merger of Glowpoint and SharedLabs in an all-stock transaction. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SharedLabs will merge with and into a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Glowpoint, with SharedLabs surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glowpoint. In consideration therefor, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Glowpoint will issue an aggregate of 112,802,326 shares of Glowpoint common stock, subject to certain adjustment factors included in the Merger Agreement and described below. The shares of Glowpoint common stock to be issued in the transaction will be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 expected to be filed with the SEC by Glowpoint in the first quarter of 2019. The transaction was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of each of Glowpoint and SharedLabs. Upon completion of the proposed merger, the name of the merged company is anticipated to be “Glowpoint, Inc.” and the company is expected to continue to trade on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “GLOW.” The combined company will maintain its headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida. Jason Cory, the current CEO of SharedLabs, will be the CEO of the combined company.
The business combination of Glowpoint and SharedLabs, which on a combined basis generated total unaudited revenue of approximately $86 million for the twelve month period ending September 30, 2018, will combine two highly capable businesses with strong growth opportunities, and is expected to create a business model with increasing recurring revenue, a diversified customer base, and significant global reach; and is expected to result in the creation of a powerful software and technology services provider with comprehensive products and capabilities spanning managed, outsourced, and cloud services offerings.
“We are extremely excited about the proposed transaction with SharedLabs and the transformative opportunities the combination creates for us. SharedLabs has a strong brand, management and board along with an attractive market. We believe the combination will enhance the business and efficiency opportunities for both companies, and provides a structure for future expansion, organically or by opportunistic acquisitions of complementary assets in attractive markets, and the opportunity for enhanced shareholder value for the combined institution,” said Pete Holst, president and chief executive officer of Glowpoint.
“When we first announced the possibility of this transaction, we were bullish on the combined companies’ capabilities, and after deep due diligence and seeing what is really under the hood, we are even more excited to complete this transaction. This really is a case of two world class technology companies, which when combined, will become a global leader in digital transformation and enablement, with substantial opportunities to capitalize on the rapid evolution of digital technologies,” said Jason Cory, chief executive officer of SharedLabs. “Our differentiated solutions in software and applications, web and digital, cloud, IoT, security, data and analytics combined, coupled with the highly scalable services platform Glowpoint offers, will provide an incredible opportunity for the combined company to extend capabilities into new and high-growth emerging markets. Along with the combined teams’ talented people, and our relentless focus on execution, the new Glowpoint will have unparalleled opportunities for scale, a comprehensive suite of solutions, and the worldwide reach to make us the technology industry’s global partner of choice. I am excited about leading the new Glowpoint as its president and chief executive officer upon the closing of this transaction.”
About the Proposed Merger
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Glowpoint will issue an aggregate of 112,802,326 shares of Glowpoint common stock in exchange for 100% of the equity securities of SharedLabs. The shares of Glowpoint common stock to be issued in the merger are subject to certain adjustment factors based upon the completion by SharedLabs of a private placement of equity securities for at least $5 million of net cash proceeds and on other terms set forth in the



Merger Agreement (the “SharedLabs Equity Financing”), the execution of one or more term sheets by SharedLabs with lending institutions for one or more credit facilities aggregating not less than $16 million in borrowing capacity subject to a maximum interest rate (the “SharedLabs Term Sheet”), the working capital of each of Glowpoint and SharedLabs at closing compared to certain agreed upon metrics and certain other aspects of SharedLabs’ balance sheet at closing compared to certain agreed upon metrics. Subject to these adjustment factors, upon consummation of the proposed merger, the stockholders of Glowpoint existing prior to the transaction would collectively own an approximately 34% interest in the combined company and the stockholders of SharedLabs existing prior to the transaction would collectively own an approximately 66% interest in the combined company.
Glowpoint and SharedLabs, subject to stockholder and required regulatory approvals, expect to finalize the merger in the spring of 2019. The closing will be subject to, among other closing conditions, the receipt of all required approvals of the stockholders of Glowpoint and SharedLabs and any required third-party consents and regulatory clearances, including receipt of required approvals from the NYSE American, the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 registering the shares of Glowpoint common stock to be issued in the merger, the completion of the SharedLabs Equity Financing, the execution by SharedLabs of the SharedLabs Term Sheet, the satisfaction and termination prior to closing of all contracts or other agreements to which SharedLabs is a party that provide a counterparty with redeemable or contingent common stock or a guaranteed return, the redemption of each share of issued and outstanding redeemable SharedLabs common stock, and other customary closing conditions. If SharedLabs fails to meet its obligations under either the debt or equity financing closing conditions, Glowpoint may elect to proceed to close the merger with a reduction in the shares of its common stock to be issued to SharedLabs’ stockholders in the transaction, on terms set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the merger agreement, Glowpoint’s board of directors will consist of seven members after the completion of the merger, of which one member may be appointed by the members of Glowpoint’s board existing prior to closing and the remaining members will be appointed by the members of SharedLabs’ board existing prior to closing.
The Merger Agreement includes a 45-day “go-shop” provision that allows Glowpoint and its advisors to actively solicit and negotiate with other potential acquirers to determine whether they are interested in making a proposal to acquire Glowpoint. Accordingly, Glowpoint will solicit competing acquisition proposals through February 3, 2019.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities that Glowpoint or SharedLabs assumes, plans, expects, believes, intends, projects, estimates or anticipates (and other similar expressions) will, could, should or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Glowpoint’s and SharedLabs’ actual results may differ materially from their expectations, estimates and projections, and consequently you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this press release include statements regarding Glowpoint’s and SharedLabs’ future performance and the anticipated financial impacts of the business combination, the success of any business development initiatives to be pursued by Glowpoint or SharedLabs, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the business combination, including the debt and equity financings to be pursued by SharedLabs, and the timing or success of the completion of the business combination. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events, and involve significant factors, risks, and uncertainties that may cause actual results in future periods to differ materially from such



statements. Most of these factors are outside of the control of Glowpoint or SharedLabs and are difficult to predict, and include, among other things, (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could cause the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Glowpoint or SharedLabs following this announcement and the pursuit of the business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (3) the inability to complete the business combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Glowpoint or SharedLabs or failure to satisfy any other conditions to closing included in the Merger Agreement; (4) risks related to SharedLabs’ equity and debt financing conditions to closing; (5) the risk that the pursuit or execution of the business combination will disrupt current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the negotiation and consummation of the business combination; (8) risks related to the disruption of the transaction to the parties and their management; (9) the effect of the announcement of the Merger Agreement on the parties’ ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and other third parties; and (10) other risks and uncertainties identified in Glowpoint’s and SharedLabs’ filings with the SEC, including in Glowpoint’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2017 and in other filings made by Glowpoint with the SEC from time to time, including Glowpoint’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and including in SharedLabs’ Form S-1 Registration Statement filed May 15, 2018 (File No. 333-224954) (including all amendments thereto) and in other filings made by SharedLabs with the SEC from time to time. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Glowpoint and SharedLabs caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any of these factors could cause Glowpoint’s and SharedLabs’ actual results and plans to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, Glowpoint and SharedLabs can give no assurance that their future results will be as estimated. Glowpoint and SharedLabs do not intend to, and disclaim any obligation to, correct, update or revise any information contained herein to reflect any change in expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, other than as required by applicable law.
