ONE-YEAR RESALE RESTRICTION
The merger agreement provides that a total of 2,525,000 shares of Identix common stock issuable in the merger or pursuant to the exercise of options and warrants assumed in the merger will either be (1) subject to the escrow agreement (See "--Indemnification and Escrow") or (2) subject to a "lock-up period" for one year from the Effective Time. The shares subject to the lock-up period may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred during such period, except by will or pursuant to the laws of descent or distribution. IDT will ask each holder of IDT Options or IDT Warrants assumed by Identix to agree in writing to be bound by the lock-up period with respect to 40% of such holder's shares issuable upon exercise of their IDT Options and IDT Warrants. In addition, a portion of the shares of Identix common stock issued in the merger to each IDT stockholder who holds more than 1,000 shares of IDT common stock (a "Principal Stockholder") will automatically be subject to the lock-up period.
The aggregate number of shares held by the Principal Stockholders automatically subject to the lock-up period will be determined by subtracting from 2,525,000 the sum of (a) the number of Identix shares issued in the merger, or issuable upon exercise of IDT Options and IDT Warrants, subject to the escrow agreement and (b) the number of shares issuable by Identix upon exercise of assumed IDT Options and IDT Warrants subject to the lock-up period. The resulting number of shares will be automatically restricted and will be allocated among the Principal Stockholders on a pro rata basis. The shares so restricted will bear a legend describing their restrictions. If you are a Principal Stockholder, the approval of the merger agreement and the merger by the IDT stockholders will bind you to the one-year lock-up period for your pro rata portion of the restricted shares. The exact portion of your shares that will be subject to the one-year lock-up period cannot be determined until the closing of the merger, but will be at least 40%.
