Other Events.

 

Postponement of 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders

 

The 2020 annual meeting of shareholders of Majesco, originally scheduled for September 21, 2020, will be postponed in light of the pending merger of Magic Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) with and into Majesco with Majesco surviving as the surviving corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Magic Intermediate, LLC (the “Merger”) under the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 8, 2020, by and among Majesco, Magic Intermediate, LLC and Merger Sub, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”). Majesco does not currently expect to hold the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders because Majesco, Magic Intermediate, LLC and Merger Sub expect to consummate the Merger on or about September 21, 2020.  If the Merger is not consummated, a postponed 2020 annual meeting of shareholders would likely be held (and the meeting date, record date and related dates for shareholder proposals announced) later in 2020. 

 

Important Note Regarding Dissenters’ Rights and the Timing of Payment of Merger Consideration

 

Shares of Majesco common stock whose holders have not “CONSENTED TO” the Merger could become Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) if their holders properly exercise dissenters’ rights under Chapter 13 of the California General Corporation Law (“CGCL”). Therefore, following the effective time of the Merger, (A) a holder of record of shares (including a holder of record through book entry) of Majesco common stock will not receive the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) pursuant to the Merger Agreement until promptly following the earlier of (i) Majesco’s receipt of a written “CONSENT TO” the Merger proposal from the holder of such shares at the record date or (ii) the expiration of the 30-day period for written demand of dissenters’ rights assuming such holder did not properly exercise dissenters’ rights during such period and (B) a person holding a beneficial interest in shares held of record in the name of another person, such as a broker or nominee (commonly referred to as “street name” for shares held through a brokerage account) will not receive the Merger Consideration until promptly following the expiration of the 30-day period for written demand of dissenters’ rights assuming such holder did not follow the procedures of the holder of record in a timely manner in order to perfect such person’s dissenters’ rights during such period.

 

If a shareholder properly exercises dissenters' rights under Chapter 13 of the CGCL during such 30-day period, then such shareholder will not receive the Merger Consideration for such shareholder’s Excluded Shares so long as their status as such is maintained; such shareholder would instead receive the “fair market value” of the Excluded Shares in accordance with Chapter 13 of the CGC.

 

On or about September 14, 2020, Majesco will be distributing to each shareholder that did not “CONSENT TO” the Merger proposal a Notice of Approval of Merger and Dissenters’ Rights (the “Notice”), which will explain the dissenters’ rights process under Chapter 13 of the CGCL in greater detail. Each Majesco shareholder that did not “CONSENT TO” the Merger proposal is encouraged to read the Notice which contains important information about the steps to be taken by shareholders intending to exercise dissenters’ rights.
