This means nothing...an insignificant # of shares filed by the previous owners of a company bought by APCC for stock...they just want to get their profits....here is the important part of the filing: Systems Enhancement Corporation Acquisition. On February 14, 1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Systems Enhancement Corporation ("Systems Enhancement"), a Missouri corporation, (the "Merger") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of February 14, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), among the Company, Blue Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company, Systems Enhancement and the six stockholders of Systems Enhancement. The Merger was accomplished through an exchange of 480,144 shares of the Company's Common Stock for all outstanding shares of capital stock of Systems Enhancement. The Merger has been accounted for as a pooling-of- interests. The purchase price and terms of the transaction were determined in arms-length negotiations. Systems Enhancement is a developer of network power management products.
The Selling Stockholders represented to the Company, in connection with the completion of the Merger, that such Selling Stockholder was acquiring the Shares from the Company without any present intention of effecting a distribution of those Shares. In recognition of the fact, however, that investors may want to be able to sell their shares when they consider appropriate, the Company agreed to file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (of which this Prospectus is a part) to permit the public sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders from time to time and to use reasonable commercial efforts to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of the sale of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or February 14, 1999 (being the second anniversary of the effective date of the Merger). The Company will prepare and file such amendments and supplements to the registration statement as may be necessary to keep it effective until the earlier of the sale of all Shares pursuant to the registration statement or until February 14, 1999. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Selling Stockholders have entered into an Affiliate Agreement pursuant to which such Selling Stockholder has agreed not to sell any of the Shares until such time as results covering at least 30 days of combined operations of the Company and Systems Enhancement have been published by the Company, in the form of a quarterly or annual earnings report, an effective registration statement filed with the Commission, a report to the Commission on Form 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K, or any other public filing or announcement (including a press release) which includes the combined results of operations. |
