ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

To the extent required by Item 4 of Schedule 13D, the information contained in (or incorporated by reference into) Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

(a)-(b)

Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth therein, NeoGenomics (through NeoGenomics Laboratories) has agreed to acquire from GE Medical all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Clarient, Inc. (“Clarient”), a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Medical, for (i) cash consideration of $80.0 million, (ii) 15,000,000 Common Shares (“NEO Common Shares”), and (ii) 14,666,667 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“NEO Preferred Shares”, and, together with the NEO Common Shares, the “NEO Shares”) of NeoGenomics (the “Transaction”). NeoGenomics has the right to increase the cash portion of the purchase price by up to $110.0 million, which would result in a corresponding reduction in the number of NEO Preferred Shares issued as part of the purchase price.

Each of the parties has made representations and warranties and agreed to certain covenants in the Purchase Agreement. The closing of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various closing conditions, including, among others: (1) the approval by NeoGenomics’ stockholders of (a) the issuance of the NEO Shares to GE Medical in connection with the Transaction (the “Stock Issuance”), (b) amendments to NeoGenomics’ Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock and preferred stock (the “Stock Charter Amendments”) and (c) the Transaction (the “Transaction Proposal”); (2) the absence of any order of any governmental authority that prohibits or materially restrains the Transaction and the absence of any proceeding brought by any government authority pending before any court of competent jurisdiction seeking such an order; (3) all required approvals must have been obtained and required notices must have been made and required waiting periods imposed by any government authorities necessary for the consummation of the transactions must have expired or been terminated; (4) the absence of the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the business of Clarient since the date of the Purchase Agreement; (5) the size of the NeoGenomics Board of Directors must be 10 directors as of the closing, and there must be at least one vacancy on the Board as of the closing such that GE Medical’s nominee to the Board may be considered and appointed as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement (as described below); (6) the NEO Common Shares to be issued to GE Medical and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the NEO Preferred Shares must have been approved for listing subject to notice of issuance on the NASDAQ Capital Market; and (7) the certificate of designations authorizing the NEO Preferred Shares must have been duly and validly filed with the applicable government authority.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, NeoGenomics is to hold a special meeting of its stockholders (the “NeoGenomics Special Meeting”) to obtain stockholder approval of the Stock Issuance, the Stock Charter Amendments, the Transaction Proposal, a proposal for the solicitation of additional proxies if there are insufficient votes in favor of adoption of the Stock Issuance and a proposal to amend and restate the NeoGeonomics Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock available and reserved for issuance and to clarify provisions regarding restrictions on the repricing of options and stock appreciation rights (collectively, the “Proposals”).

Voting Agreements

As described in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D, concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, GE Medical entered into individual Voting Agreements with each of the Supporting Stockholders covering (i) the NeoGenomics securities owned by such Supporting Stockholder and set forth next to such Supporting Stockholder’s name on Schedule A to the applicable Voting Agreement and (ii) all additional NeoGenomics securities that such Supporting Stockholder acquires from October 20, 2015 to the termination date of the applicable Voting Agreement (collectively, the “Subject Securities”).

Under the terms of the Voting Agreements, each Supporting Stockholder has agreed to, among other things, vote his or her Subject Securities as follows: (i) in favor of the Proposals and any other matter required to be approved by the NeoGenomics’ stockholders in order to effect the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the consummation thereof; and (ii) against the approval or adoption of (a) any proposal which is in opposition to the Proposals or any of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or which would reasonably be expected to interfere with or delay the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (b) any liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization, extraordinary dividend or other significant corporate reorganization of NeoGenomics or any of its subsidiaries other than a reverse stock split, (c) any acquisition proposal or any agreement or arrangement constituting or related to any acquisition proposal, and (d) any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of NeoGenomics or NeoGenomics Laboratories under the Purchase Agreement or which could result in any of the conditions to the consummation of Transaction not being fulfilled.

As part of the Voting Agreements, each Supporting Stockholder has granted an irrevocable proxy to GE Medical, and any GE Medical designees, with respect to voting the Subject Securities for the matters contemplated by the Voting Agreement. Further, subject to certain exceptions, each Supporting Stockholder has agreed not to transfer his or her Subject Securities, or any voting rights applicable to such Subject Securities, until the termination of the Voting Agreements.

The Voting Agreements will automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the approval by NeoGenomics stockholders of the Stock Issuance, the Stock Charter Amendments and the Transaction Proposal and (ii) the termination of the Purchase Agreement.

As of October 20, 2015, 4,912,374 Common Shares (including 2,865,000 Common Shares underlying unexercised options, warrants and other rights) owned by the Supporting Stockholders are subject to the Voting Agreements. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, therefore, General Electric, GE InfoTech and GE Medical may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of the Subject Securities covered by the Voting Agreements.

Investor Board Rights, Lockup and Standstill Agreement

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and concurrent with the closing of the Transaction, NeoGenomics will enter into an Investor Board Rights, Lockup and Standstill Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”).

GE Medical Representation on the NeoGenomics Board

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, NeoGenomics is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint, within 10 business days of the closing of the Transaction, one director designated by GE Medical to the Board, provided that such designee meets the director qualification requirements set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement. Thereafter, for so long as GE Medical, or General Electric and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “GE Parties”) continue to beneficially own in the aggregate at least 10% of NeoGenomics’ then-outstanding voting stock, GE Medical will be entitled to designate for nomination one director for election at each annual or special meeting of NeoGenomics’ stockholders at which directors of the Board are to be elected and at which the seat held by GE Medical’s designee is subject to election. Subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, NeoGenomics is required to support the election of GE Medical’s nominee and GE Medical is required to vote all shares of NeoGenomics voting stock beneficially owned by it in favor of the director slate nominated by management.

 

- 7 -


Board Observer Rights

For so long as the GE Parties continue to beneficially own at least 20% of NeoGenomics’ then-outstanding voting stock, General Electric will be entitled to have one representative of the GE Parties acceptable to NeoGenomics attend all meetings of the Board (and any committees upon which GE Medical’s designee sits that are held incident with such Board meeting), in a non-voting observer capacity, and such representative will receive copies of all materials NeoGenomics provides to its directors in connection with such meeting. NeoGenomics may exclude such representative from access to any of such materials or meetings or portions thereof if it believes that any such material or portion thereof is a trade secret or similar confidential information or such exclusion is necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege.

General Standstill Provisions

For a period of 48 months following the closing of the Transaction, unless specifically approved by NeoGenomics or earlier terminated in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement, none of the GE Parties will, directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire ownership of any Common Shares, except the NEO Shares, any shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the NEO Preferred Shares or as a result of the terms of the NEO Preferred Shares, any shares issued or issuable as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, right, warrant, or other distribution, recapitalization or offering made available by NeoGenomics to holders of its voting stock or shares acquired pursuant to the participation rights provided in the Investor Rights Agreement. The standstill provisions are also subject to various additional exceptions as provided for in the Investor Rights Agreement.

Transfer Restrictions

Subject to certain exceptions, none of the GE Parties may, without NeoGenomics’ prior written consent, sell or transfer any of the NEO Shares, or engage in any hedging or other transaction designed to, or that reasonably could be expected to, result in the disposition of the NEO Shares, until the earlier of (i) two years from the closing of the Transaction and (ii) the date which is 6 months after NeoGenomics has redeemed all of the NEO Preferred Shares.

Lock-up Agreements

Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Douglas VanOort, NeoGenomics’ Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and Steven Jones, NeoGenomics’ Executive Vice President—Finance and a member of the Board, entered into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”) pursuant to which they agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell or transfer any Common Shares or securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or that represent the right to receive Common Shares, owned by such individual and set forth on Schedule A to the applicable Lock-up Agreement, for six months after the closing of the Transaction.

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and concurrent with the closing of the Transaction, GE Medical and NeoGenomics will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, NeoGenomics will be required to file on or before the earlier of (i) 21 months following the closing of the Transaction and (ii) 6 months after NeoGenomics redeems all of the NEO Preferred Shares held by GE Medical, a shelf registration statement for the offer and sale of the NEO Common Shares and any shares of NeoGenomics common stock issuable upon conversion of the NEO Preferred Shares. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides GE Medical with customary demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to such shares.
