Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Voting Agreement
 
In connection with the closing of the mergers (the “Mergers”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated March 5, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Crexendo, Inc. (the “Company”), Crexendo Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), Crexendo Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II” and, together with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”), NetSapiens, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NetSapiens”), and David Wang as the Stockholder Representative (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and as a condition for the closing, on June 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, the pre-Mergers majority stockholder of the Company (the “Principal Stockholder”) and David Wang as the Stockholder Representative entered into that certain Voting Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Voting Agreement”).
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company had agreed to (i) include the NetSapiens Board Designee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as a nominee to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) on each slate of nominees for election to the Board proposed by the management of the Company, (ii) recommend the election of the NetSapiens Board Designee to the stockholders of the Company, and (iii) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to cause the NetSapiens Board Designee to be elected to the Board. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Principal Stockholder agreed to, among other things, vote the shares of common stock of the Company beneficially owned by him in favor of the election of the NetSapiens Board Designee at any annual or special meeting of the Company or on any action or approval by written consent of the Company stockholders with respect to the election and removal of directors of the Company. The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) that date on which the NetSapiens equityholders that received shares of the Company’s common stock at the closing of the Mergers fail to collectively beneficially own at least 5% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares of common stock; and (b) the termination of the Voting Agreement by mutual written consent.
 
The description of the Voting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the agreement, which has been filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
On the Closing Date, the Company consummated the previously announced Mergers. NetSapiens provides an award-winning, patented cloud-native communications platform delivered via a high availability, multi-tenant solution that can be consumed however the service providers prefer, in their cloud or the NetSapiens cloud, on a subscription or a purchase model.
 
As contemplated by the Merger Agreement and as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 26, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement”), on the Closing Date, Merger Sub I merged with and into NetSapiens, with NetSapiens continuing as the surviving entity (the “First Merger”), and, as a part of the same overall transaction, the surviving entity of the First Merger merged with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Second Merger”). Immediately following the consummation of the Second Merger, the name of Merger Sub II changed to “NetSapiens, LLC”.
 
As contemplated by the Merger Agreement and as described in the Proxy Statement, the total base consideration for the Mergers, including repayment of debt and expenses, is approximately $50 million, consisting of (1) $10 million in cash, and (2) approximately $40 million in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock or Company options valued at $6.19 per share for the purpose of determining the aggregate number of shares payable to NetSapiens’ equityholders. The merger consideration is subject to customary upward or downward adjustments for NetSapiens’ net working capital and closing cash. In connection with the closing of the Mergers, the Company issued (i) 3,097,309 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $6.19 per share for common stock consideration of approximately $19.2 million (the “Shares”) and (ii) 4,482,328 options under the Crexendo, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan with an aggregate value of $22.1 million, net of the aggregate exercise price of $5.6 million. Holders of outstanding common stock, in-the-money stock options and in-the-money warrants of NetSapiens will receive a portion of the merger consideration as described above on a pro rata basis and/or in accordance with the Merger Agreement and any option or warrant cancellation agreements entered into by such equityholders.
 
Immediately following the Mergers, NetSapiens’ equityholders acquired approximately 14.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.
 
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
The disclosure set forth above in Item 2.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Shares issued in connection with the closing of the Mergers were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
 
 
 
 
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
