Please see Schedule I for information pertaining to Pharma Services, Intermediate Holdings, QTRNs and Quintiles executive officers and directors.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations
The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired on October 25, 2001 (the Closing Date) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the Agreement), dated as of the Closing Date, between the Issuer and Quintiles. Pursuant to the Agreement, Quintiles sold certain of its assets in consideration for the Issuers promissory note (the Note) in the principal amount of $1,000,000 with interest per annum equal to the three month LIBOR rate in effect on the last day of each quarter, plus three percent (3.0%), as reported in the Wall Street Journal.
The Note, which was payable in quarterly installments with respect to 50% of the aggregate principal amount together with all outstanding interest, matured thirty-six (36) months from the Closing Date and was convertible by Quintiles any time prior to maturity into shares of Common Stock.
Over time, the Issuer made principal payments that reduced the outstanding principal balance of the Note. The Note was fully repaid by the Issuer during the 4th
CUSIP No. 09056N103000 | Page 7 of 13 |
quarter of 2004 and no principal or interest amounts were convertible into shares of Common Stock at December 31, 2004.
Under the Agreement, the Reporting Persons were entitled to acquire up to an additional 646,247 shares of Common Stock after January 1, 2003, to the extent that revenues between the Closing Date and December 31, 2002 arising from certain contracts transferred to the Issuer exceed a threshold amount. Pursuant to such provision, QFinance, Inc. acquired 188,549 shares of Common Stock (the QFinance Shares).
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Issuer was required to use its Reasonable Efforts, as defined in the Agreement, to effect the election of one individual designated by Quintiles to the Issuers Board of Directors. Such individual designated by Quintiles was elected to the Issuers Board of Directors.
The Agreement is filed as an exhibit to the previously filed Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the transaction is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of the shares for the purpose of investment only and may elect to dispose or otherwise transfer such shares from time to time, as permitted under contract or applicable law. Except to the extent that it is customary for the director designated by Quintiles to do so, the Reporting Persons have no intention to influence or direct the Issuers affairs, modify its corporate structure or interfere with the business decisions of its management. Except as may be set forth above, neither the Reporting Persons, nor to the best of their knowledge, any executive officer or director of the Reporting Persons, has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuers business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuers charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) a class of securities of the Issuer being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
As of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock of the Issuer.
