Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On August 13, 2013, BGS, BGS Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc. (“Purchaser”) and BGS Merger Subsidiary, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) entered into the Amended and Restated Merger and Share Exchange Agreement, referred to as the “Merger Agreement,” with TransnetYX, Black Diamond and Black Diamond Financial Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the manager of Black Diamond (the “BDH Manager”).  The Merger Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Merger and Share Exchange Agreement entered into by BGS, Purchaser, Black Diamond, certain Class A and Preferred Members of Black Diamond and BDH Manager on June 26, 2013 previously disclosed on a Form 6-K filed with the SEC on June 28, 2013.
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, BGS will merge with and into Purchaser and TransnetYX will merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser, Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving entity, or “Survivor” (the “Transaction Merger”).  As consideration in this transaction, Purchaser will issue to the shareholders of record of TransnetYX 8,000,000 shares of the common stock of Purchaser on a pro rata basis and will pay a maximum of $15.0 million in cash (the “Cash Payment”), provided that up to $11.0 million of the cash payment may be paid in additional shares of common stock of Purchaser if there is not adequate cash to accommodate a $15.0 million payment to the shareholders of TransnetYX and have $6.0 million in cash available in the Survivor for payment of transaction expenses and for working capital purposes.  2,000,000 of the shares of common stock of Purchaser held by Black Diamond immediately following the consummation of the transaction will be subject to a lock-up agreement that will limit Black Diamond’s ability to dispose of those shares until the earlier of (1) the Survivor achieving gross revenues in fiscal year 2015 in excess of $60 million or (2) December 31, 2020.  In addition, the shareholders of TransnetYX may receive an earn out of up to an additional 8,000,000 shares of the common stock of Purchaser based on the gross revenues of the post-transaction operating company in fiscal year 2015.
 
Redomestication Merger and TransnetYX Shares Conversion
 
Immediately prior to the Transaction Merger, BGS will be merged with and into Purchaser, where upon the separate corporate existence of BGS will cease and Purchaser will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Redomestication Merger”). In connection with the Redomestication Merger, BGS’s issued and outstanding capital stock will be converted as follows :
 
Each BGS Ordinary Share will be converted automatically into one share of Purchaser Common Stock;
Each BGS Warrant will be converted into one equivalent warrant (“Purchaser Warrant”) to purchase one share of Purchaser Common Stock for a purchase price of $10.00 per share;
The 1,333,333 BGS Ordinary Shares owned by the sponsors that are subject to vesting based on certain BGS Ordinary Share closing price hurdles will be cancelled and converted automatically into 666,667 shares of Purchaser Common Stock, 166,667 of which will have a vesting hurdle of $12.00 per share, 166,667 of which will have a vesting hurdle of $13.50 per share, 166,667 of which will have a vesting hurdle of $15.00 per share, and 166,666 of which will have a vesting hurdle of $17.00 per share, based on any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period following the consummation of the transaction;
Each of the BGS Warrants owned by the sponsor or the underwriters of BGS’s initial public offering (the “BGS Sponsor/Underwriter Warrants”) will be converted into one-twentieth (1/20) of a share of Purchaser Common Stock, one-half (1/2) of which will have a vesting hurdle of $12.00 per share and one-half (1/2) of which will have a vesting hurdle of $13.50 per share, based on any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period following the consummation of the transaction; and
Each unit purchase option of BGS will be converted into one substantially equivalent unit purchase option of Purchaser.

Also immediately prior to the Transaction Merger, the holders of TransnetYX securities will convert their shares of preferred stock, options, warrants and any accrued but unpaid dividends in TransnetYX into shares of TransnetYX common stock.  The shares of common stock issued as a result of these conversions, along with the outstanding shares of common stock of TransnetYX, will constitute all of the issued equity in TransnetYX, will be exchanged, as a result of the Transaction Merger, for the merger consideration described above.

Minimum Cash Requirement
 
To consummate the transaction, there must be at least $10 million in cash in the Purchaser that will be used to (1) provide $6 million in working capital to the Survivor, including the payment of certain transaction-related expenses, and (2) pay at least $4 million in cash to the shareholders of TransnetYX on a pro rata basis.  To the extent that there is more than $10 million in cash remaining in Purchaser at the time of the transactions, then the additional cash, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, will either be (A) used for additional working capital by the Survivor, (B) distributed to the shareholders on a pro rata basis (until the shareholders have received a total of $95 million in value, including all cash and all Purchaser Common Stock distributed as consideration in the transaction), and (C) used to pay the finance fees discussed below.
 
Finance Fees
 
There are two fees owed to C&Co/PrinceRidge LLC, or PrinceRidge, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement: a deferred corporate finance fee equal to 2% of the value of the IPO, or $800,000, that is related to their underwriting agreement with BGS, and a transaction fee related to the business combination equal to 2% of the merger consideration.  To the extent that there is cash in Purchaser in excess of the minimum cash requirement discussed above following the Transaction Merger, Purchaser will use a portion of that additional cash to pay these fees to PrinceRidge in cash in accordance with the following schedule: to the extent the available cash is less than $15,800,000, Purchaser will pay both fees to PrinceRidge in common stock of Purchaser.  To the extent the available cash exceeds $15,800,000 but is less than $18,000,000, Purchaser will pay the deferred corporate finance fee payable to PrinceRidge in cash and the transaction fee payable to PrinceRidge in common stock of Purchaser.  To the extent the available cash exceeds $18,000,000 but is less than $20,000,000, Purchaser will pay the deferred corporate finance fee payable to PrinceRidge and one half of the transaction fee payable to PrinceRidge in cash, rather than common stock of Purchaser, with the remaining one half of the transaction fee payable to PrinceRidge paid in common stock of Purchaser.  To the extent the available cash exceeds $20,000,000, both the deferred corporate finance fee and the transaction fee payable to PrinceRidge will be paid in cash .
 
Closing and Effective Time of the Transaction
 
The transaction is expected to be consummated no later than three business days following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described below under the subsection entitled “Conditions to Closing of the transaction,” unless the parties agree in writing to hold the Closing at another time but no later than November 26, 2013, assuming that the proposed extension to the deadline for completion of a business combination is approved by the shareholders at the shareholders meeting on September 13, 2013 (See Item 8.01 Other Events below).
