SOLICITATION OF AGENT DESIGNATIONS

IN CONNECTION WITH THE

CALL OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

OF

INFUSYSTEM HOLDINGS, INC.

 

 

SOLICITATION STATEMENT

OF

THE CONCERNED INFUSYSTEM STOCKHOLDERS

 

 

To the Stockholders of InfuSystem Holdings, Inc.:

This Solicitation Statement (this “Solicitation Statement”) and the enclosed WHITE Agent Designation card (the “Agent Designation”) are being furnished to you as a stockholder of InfuSystem Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and/or “InfuSystem”), in connection with the solicitation from the Company’s stockholders of appointments of persons to be designated as the stockholder’s agent for the purpose described herein. The Agent Designations are being solicited by and on behalf of (i) Meson Capital Partners, LLC (“Meson LLC”), Meson Capital Partners, LP (“Meson LP”), and Ryan J. Morris (“Mr. Morris”) (collectively, hereinafter called “Meson”); (ii) Kleinheinz Capital Partners, Inc. (“Kleinheinz Capital”), Kleinheinz Capital Partners LDC (“LDC”), Global Undervalued Securities Fund, L.P. (“Global LP”), Global Undervalued Securities Fund (QP), L.P. (“Global QP”), Global Undervalued Securities Fund, Ltd. (“Global Ltd.”), Global Undervalued Securities Master Fund, L.P. (“Global Master”), and John B. Kleinheinz (“Mr. Kleinheinz”) (collectively with Kleinheinz Capital, LDC, Global LP, Global QP, Global Ltd., and Global Master, hereinafter called “Kleinheinz”); and (iii) Boston Avenue Capital LLC (“Boston Capital”) and Charles M. Gillman (“Mr. Gillman”) (collectively, hereinafter called “Boston”) (Meson, Kleinheinz and Boston, collectively, hereinafter called the “Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders,” the “Group”, “we” or “us”), to call a special meeting of stockholders of the Company for the purposes described below (the “Special Meeting”).

The Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders seek to request that the Company call a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders for the following purposes:

 

  (1) to amend Article II, Section 2.4 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) in order to allow the Company’s stockholders to fill any vacancies, however caused, on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”);

 

  (2) to remove, without cause, each of the seven (7) members of the current Board, Sean McDevitt, David Dreyer, Timothy Kopra, Pat LaVecchia, Jean-Pierre Millon, John Voris and Wayne Yetter, as well as any person or persons appointed by the Board without stockholder approval between January 18, 2012 and up through and including the date of the Special Meeting;

 

  (3) to elect directors to fill up to seven (7) vacancies created by the removal of directors: Alan Bazaar, John Climaco, Charles Gillman, Ryan Morris, Robert Pons, Dilip Singh and Joseph Whitters (each, a “Group Nominee” and, collectively, the “Group Nominees”);

 

  (4) to repeal any provision of the Bylaws that may be adopted by the Board subsequent to the last public filing on January 22, 2009 of the Bylaws prior to the Special Meeting; and

 

  (5) to transact such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting (Proposals 1 through 5, collectively, the “Proposals”).

At this time, the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders are only soliciting your request to call the Special Meeting. The Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders are not currently seeking your proxy, consent, authorization or agent designation for approval of the Proposals or any other actions. In the event the Special Meeting is called, the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders will send you proxy materials relating to the Proposals to be voted upon at the Special Meeting.


The Bylaws do not currently permit the Company’s stockholders to fill vacancies on the Board unless the number of directors remaining in office constitutes less than a majority of the total number of authorized directors and stockholders petition the Delaware Court of Chancery to fill such vacancies. We desire to remove the current Board members only if stockholders are able to fill the vacancies caused by their removal. Therefore, at the Special Meeting, Proposal 2 and Proposal 3 will be subject to and conditioned upon the approval of Proposal 1.

For the Special Meeting to be called, pursuant to Article I, Section 1.3 of the Bylaws, Agent Designations in favor of calling the Special Meeting must be executed by stockholders of record holding not less than a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote at a special meeting of the Company, i.e., more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Requisite Holders”). As of the close of business on January [    ], 2012, the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders collectively beneficially owned, and had the right to vote, 2,423,683 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 11.4% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

The Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders believe that the Proposals, if adopted, will provide the Company with a new Board comprised of highly qualified individuals who are experienced in serving on the boards of directors of public companies or in healthcare-related fields and who are motivated to lead the Company forward for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders. Therefore, the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders are soliciting Agent Designations to call the Special Meeting, to be held as soon as possible following the date on which we deliver to the Company Agent Designations from the Requisite Holders.

We request that Agent Designations to call a Special Meeting be delivered as promptly as possible, by mail in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

The date of this Solicitation Statement is January [    ], 2012. This Solicitation Statement and the enclosed WHITE Agent Designation card are first being sent or given to stockholders on or about January [    ], 2012.

BACKGROUND

We are greatly dissatisfied and concerned with the Company’s current leadership, and we believe that an immediate change in the Board is necessary to correct the Company’s direction and remedy the loss of stockholder value. Collectively, the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders own over 11% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, and the vast majority of the shares held by our Group have been held for several years. Like the Company’s other stockholders, with whom we believe our interests are aligned, we have a strong financial interest in maximizing the value of the Company’s common stock.

As we have monitored the performance of the Company, its management and its stock, we have been consistently disappointed. In 2011, the stock price dropped precipitously, losing almost 40% of its value since the beginning of 2011. In our view, the Company’s business performance has not been acceptable.

Meanwhile, despite the Company’s poor performance and absence of growth, the Company continues to pay its executive officers and directors far in excess of companies of a similar size and market capitalization. As reported in the Company’s proxy soliciting material on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 20, 2011 (the “2011 Proxy Statement”), Board Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sean McDevitt received $360,000 in annual salary. However, in an unusual departure from customary practice, Mr. McDevitt received an additional $90,000 in the aggregate for his service on the Board and as Chairman. In 2010, the non-employee Board members similarly received high cash compensation for their Board service – in the form of a $50,000 annual retainer, a monthly retainer ranging from $4,000 to $17,000 and an annual “stipend” for Audit Committee service ranging from $1,333 to $8,000, which provided aggregate cash compensation ranging from $86,000 to $254,000 in 2010.

Across all Board members, including Mr. McDevitt, sizable grants of restricted stock were made in April 2010, ranging from 75,000 to 250,000 shares for the non-executive Board members (with grant date fair values ranging from $190,500 to $635,000) to 450,000 shares (with a grant date fair value of $1,143,000) for Mr. McDevitt. Then, in December 2010, the Board amended the restricted stock grants, previously scheduled to vest over three years, to provide immediate vesting. Because the terms of the restricted stock awards granted by the Board provide for the Company to pay the income taxes owed by the Board members from the vesting of the restricted stock, each Board member, including Mr. McDevitt, received a sizable cash tax gross-up payment ranging from $124,000 to $435,000, and $36,000 for Mr. Kopra who joined the Company’s Board in April 2010. In all, the restricted stock granted to the Board members, including Mr. McDevitt, had a grant date fair value in excess of $2.7 million in April 2010, and the Company paid out over $1.8 million in cash in December 2010 to reimburse them for their income taxes due from the generous restricted stock grants. These restricted stock awards were not contingent on the Company’s performance, but provided significant compensation rewards to Board members despite the Company’s poor financial and stock price performance. Mr. McDevitt also entered into a share award agreement, providing him up to 2,000,000 additional shares of common stock if the Company achieves certain stock price thresholds. While we support tying compensation to Company stock price performance and appreciate the ambitiousness of the stock price thresholds under that agreement ($5 to $15 per share), the Company’s 2011 Proxy

Statement reports that Mr. McDevitt is guaranteed all 2,000,000 shares if the Company undergoes a change in control. Therefore, in a year where the Company saw a loss from operations, due largely to an extraordinary increase in general and administrative expense related to stock-based compensation, the Board rewarded itself and Mr. McDevitt very generously.

In summary, we believe that the Company’s current course of action and the Board’s attitude about its role and its value are not in the best interests of stockholders. A new direction, lead by a new Board, is necessary.

We have attempted to approach the Company’s Board and management on numerous occasions to offer assistance and discuss our concerns. Unfortunately, the Company’s management and Board have indicated that their current plans will be sufficient to generate value and they believe that the Company has experienced real growth and value creation recently. We disagree that the Company has seen true growth or value creation, and we have deep concerns that this “business as usual” approach will lead to improved results. In fact, we believe that business as usual will only continue to destroy the Company’s value.

We firmly believe that the Board needs stockholder representation in order to change the Company’s direction and generate value, but the Company has rejected our requests for stockholder-appointed directors. Instead of agreeing to give us the Board representation the stockholders deserve, the Company has offered to buy out our shares if we will go away. We are uninterested in any offers of management or the Board to buy out our shares in an effort to placate us – this does not address the problem or offer any equitable or value-based solution for the Company’s other stockholders.

We do not believe that we are alone in our dissatisfaction with the Company’s direction, management, compensation practices and performance. At the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of stockholders, approximately 40% of the roughly 13.7 million voted shares, exclusive of approximately 2.4 million shares that could not be voted on the matter by brokers, were voted as withheld for the election of directors. The proposals related to the Company’s compensation plans – a 3 million share increase for the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and re-approving criteria for performance-based awards under such plan (to avoid adverse tax consequences from such significant awards) – fared similarly poorly, with approximately 40% and 36%, respectively of the voted shares voting against or abstaining from the vote on these proposals.

Because efforts to work collaboratively with the Board and management to change the direction of the Company have been ignored, we believe that swift and decisive action must be taken to avoid continued loss of stockholder value. Worse, failure to make a change will result in a loss of value while management and the Board, who are actively impeding improvements, continue to generously compensate themselves.

Therefore, we feel it is time for stockholders to take immediate action to make substantial changes to the composition of the Board. We are seeking your support to request the Company call the Special Meeting of stockholders in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Company’s Bylaws and Delaware law. If we are successful in our solicitation of Agent Designations, and the Special Meeting of stockholders is called and held, we expect to present at the Special Meeting a proposal to remove all of the current Board, Sean McDevitt, David Dreyer, Timothy Kopra, Pat LaVecchia, Jean-Pierre Millon, John Voris and Wayne Yetter, and to replace them with director candidates that have the appropriate experience, expertise and motivation to correct the Company’s path and implement significant changes for the benefit of all Company stockholders.

PAST CONTACT

On December 6, 2011, Meson, Kleinheinz and Boston collectively filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Schedule 13D reporting 2,423,683 shares, or 11.4%, of the Company’s common stock that could be deemed to be beneficially owned by Meson, Kleinheinz and Boston in the aggregate. On that same day, Pat LaVecchia, Vice Chairman of the Board, contacted certain members of the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders to schedule a meeting in person on December 13, 2011 to discuss the Company.

On December 13, 2011, certain members of the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders met in person in Fort Worth, Texas with members of the Company’s management, including Mr. McDevitt, the Company’s Chief

Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and Mr. LaVecchia. The purpose of the meeting was for us to express our dissatisfaction with the Company’s performance and to request the appointment of three directors selected by us to provide the stockholders representation on the Board to facilitate the generation of stockholder value. The Company indicated that it would discuss our suggestions at a scheduled Board meeting.

On December 19, 2011, certain members of the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders participated in a conference call with Mr. LaVecchia. During this call, Mr. LaVecchia relayed the Board’s support for the Company’s current management and current strategy and declined the Group’s requests for stockholder board representation.

On January [    ], 2012, Meson, Kleinheinz and Boston collectively filed an amended Schedule 13D reporting the same 2,423,683 shares, or 11.4%, of the Company’s common stock deemed to be beneficially owned by the Group as reported in the Schedule 13D filed on December 6, 2011, and updating the disclosure to reflect the filing of the Preliminary Proxy Statement for this Solicitation Statement.

PLANS FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING

If we, the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders, are successful in our solicitation of Agent Designations and the Special Meeting is called, we expect to present the following matters for a stockholder vote at the Special Meeting:

 

   

Amendment of Bylaws at Article II, Section 2.4 and Repeal of and Company Amendments Prior to the Effectiveness of the Proposals. The Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders expect to propose an amendment to Article II, Section 2.4 of the Bylaws to permit the Company’s stockholders to fill any vacancies, however caused, on the Board. Presently, only the Board members can fill a Board vacancy or newly created directorship created by the increase in the size of the Board, except in a special circumstance. Because the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders seek to remove all of the Company’s Board members and replace the removed directors with our Nominees, it is important for the stockholders to have the ability under the Bylaws to fill these vacancies.

Further, this Proposal seeks to repeal any amendment to the Bylaws adopted without stockholder approval subsequent to the last public filing on January 22, 2009 of the Bylaws and prior to the effectiveness of the Proposals. This Proposal is designed to prevent the Board from taking actions to amend the Bylaws to attempt to nullify or delay the actions taken by, or proposed to be taken by, the stockholders pursuant to the Proposals or to create new obstacles to the implementation of changes in the Company’s Board. The Bylaws filed with the SEC on January 22, 2009 as Exhibit 3.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K are the most recent publicly-available version of the Bylaws (the “Existing Bylaws”). Accordingly, this Proposal would only amend Article II, Section 2.4 and would not repeal any other provision of the Existing Bylaws. If, however, the Board has adopted since January 22, 2009, or adopts prior to the effectiveness of the Proposals, any amendment to the Bylaws, this Proposal would repeal such amendment so as to prevent the Board from creating new obstacles to and removing any existing undisclosed obstacles to the adoption of the Proposals. The repeal of bylaws requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, voting together as a single class.

 

   

Removal of Directors. The Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders expect to propose the removal, without cause, of each of the Company’s current directors, as well as any other person who may be appointed a director without stockholder approval subsequent to January 18, 2012 and prior to the effectiveness of the Proposals. The Company’s current directors are Sean McDevitt, David Dreyer, Timothy Kopra, Pat LaVecchia, Jean-Pierre Millon, John Voris and Wayne Yetter. Pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws, the removal of directors requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, voting together as a single class.

 

   

Election of Directors. The Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders expect to propose the election as directors of the Company of seven nominees to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. It is our current intention to

 

5


 

nominate for election Alan Bazaar, John Climaco, Charles Gillman, Ryan Morris, Robert Pons, Dilip Singh and Joseph Whitters. Assuming there is a quorum at the Special Meeting, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

We will solicit votes for the election of our candidates only by means of a second proxy statement and proxy card once the record and meeting dates for the Special Meeting have been established. If the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders are successful in calling the Special Meeting as a result of the solicitation of Agent Designations from the Requisite Holders, then we will include in our definitive proxy statement for such Special Meeting information regarding voting at that Special Meeting. The sole purpose of this solicitation, and the only effect of your designation on the enclosed Agent Designation, is to demand the calling of the Special Meeting.

Accordingly, we urge you to join with us in demanding the calling of the Special Meeting for the purpose of submitting the Proposals to stockholders for a vote thereon. To help us call the Special Meeting, please follow the instructions for delivering Agent Designations described below.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

The Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders are soliciting written Agent Designations to appoint agents to act on behalf of the Company’s stockholders to have the Company call the Special Meeting of stockholders pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws. We are furnishing this Solicitation Statement and the WHITE Agent Designation card to enable you and the Company’s other stockholders to support us in requesting the Special Meeting be called and held. For the Special Meeting to be properly requested in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, written requests in favor of the call of the Special Meeting must be executed by the holders of not less than a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at such meeting and delivered to the Secretary of the Company.

On the date of filing this Solicitation Statement, we were the record and beneficial owners of 2,423,683 shares of the Company’s common stock. According to the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011, as of November 8, 2011, there were 21,244,916 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding. Based on the number of shares outstanding, Agent Designations representing an aggregate of at least 8,198,776 shares of common stock, in addition to the shares held by the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders, will be required to demand the call of the Special Meeting.

If we obtain sufficient Agent Designations to demand the Special Meeting, we expect to cause the designated agents promptly to demand the calling of the Special Meeting. After the Special Meeting is called, then we intend to solicit proxies from you in support of the Proposals by sending you a notice of the Special Meeting, a proxy statement and a proxy card for use therewith. At the Special Meeting, the stockholders will be asked to vote “For” the Proposals.

Under the Bylaws, the Company’s Secretary is to fix the date and time of the Special Meeting no later than 75 days following the receipt of the request for the Special Meeting. If the Secretary neglects or refuses to fix the date for the Special Meeting, the requesting stockholders may fix the date. The Bylaws also require the Company, in complying with a request to convene a Special Meeting, to provide stockholders written notice of the venue and agenda items at least ten (10) and no more than sixty (60) days before the date of the Special Meeting. The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice of the Special Meeting is given to stockholders, unless the Board sets a different record date in accordance with Article I, Section 1.5 of the Company’s Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

While we are currently only soliciting Agent Designations in support of the calling of the Special Meeting, if the Special Meeting is called, our current intention is to put forth the proposals described above under “Plans for the Special Meeting.”

 

6


We expect to request, in any future proxy solicitation relating to the Special Meeting, authority (i) to initiate and vote for proposals to recess or adjourn the Special Meeting for any reason and (ii) to oppose and vote against any proposal to recess or adjourn the Special Meeting. We do not currently anticipate additional proposals on any substantive matters. Nevertheless, we reserve the right to either modify the Proposals or cause additional proposals to be identified in the notice of, and in, the proxy materials for the Special Meeting. We are not aware of any other proposals to be brought before the Special Meeting. However, should other proposals be brought before the Special Meeting, we will vote our proxies on such matters in our discretion.

AGENT DESIGNATION PROCEDURES

Pursuant to this Solicitation Statement, the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders are soliciting from the holders of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock the designation of specified persons to serve as the stockholder’s agents and the authorization of these designated agents (i) to request that the Company call the Special Meeting and hold such Special Meeting as soon as possible and (ii) to exercise all other rights of the holders of shares of common stock incidental to calling the Special Meeting and causing the purposes of the authority expressly granted pursuant to the written requests to the designated agents to be carried into effect, including to apply, if need be, to an appropriate court to order that the Special Meeting be held.

Executed Agent Designations should be delivered by mail using the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If we receive executed Agent Designations from the Requisite Holders, we may cause the Designated Agents to demand the call of the Special Meeting at such time.

Please note that written Agent Designations to call the Special Meeting will not grant the designated agent(s) the power to vote your shares of Company common stock at the Special Meeting and will not commit you to cast any vote in favor or against any proposal to be brought before the Special Meeting. To vote on the matters to be brought before the Special Meeting, you must vote by proxy or in person at the Special Meeting.

You may revoke your Agent Designation at any time prior to the date on which the designated agents deliver the demand of the Requisite Holders for the Special Meeting to the Company by delivering a written revocation to us, care of Innisfree, at the address set forth on the back cover of this Solicitation Statement. Such a revocation must clearly state that your Agent Designation is no longer effective. Any revocation of an Agent Designation will not affect any action taken by the designated agents pursuant to the Agent Designation prior to such revocation. Although such revocation is also effective if delivered to the Secretary of the Company or to such other recipient as the Company may designate as its agent, we request that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations be mailed or faxed to the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders, care of Innisfree, so that we will be aware of all revocations and can more accurately determine if and when enough Agent Designations have been received from stockholders.

If your shares of Company common stock are registered in your own name, please sign, date and mail the enclosed WHITE Agent Designation to Innisfree in the postage-paid envelope provided. If any of your shares of common stock are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, bank nominee or other institution, only the brokerage firm, bank, bank nominee or other institution can execute an Agent Designation for such shares of common stock and will do so only upon receipt of specific instructions from you. Accordingly, each stockholder who holds shares of common stock through a nominee such as a brokerage firm, bank, bank nominee or other institution must contact the person responsible for the stockholder’s account and advise that person to execute and return the accompanying WHITE Agent Designation. We urge you to confirm in writing your instructions to the person responsible for your account and to provide a copy of such instructions to us, care of Innisfree at the address below, so that we will be aware of all instructions given and can attempt to ensure that such instructions are followed.

Your Agent Designation is important, no matter how many or how few shares you own. Please complete, sign and return the enclosed WHITE Agent Designation card as promptly as possible. The failure to sign and return the WHITE Agent Designation card will have the same effect as opposing the call of a Special Meeting.

SOLICITATION OF REQUESTS; EXPENSES

The Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders will bear the entire expense of preparing and mailing this Solicitation Statement and any other soliciting material and the total expenditures relating to the solicitation of requests to call the Special Meeting, including, without limitation, costs, if any, related to advertising, printing, fees of attorneys, financial advisors, solicitors and accountants, public relations, transportation and litigation. We may solicit Agent Designations by telephone, email, telegram, and personal solicitation, in addition to the mail. We will reimburse the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of banks, brokerage houses, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries in connection with the forwarding of solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Company common stock that such institutions hold.

Innisfree, a proxy solicitation firm, has been retained to assist in the solicitation of Agent Designation requests and the proxy solicitation in connection with the Special Meeting, if called, at a fee not to exceed $60,000, plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

CERTAIN EFFECTS OF THIS CONSENT SOLICITATION

Based upon a review of the Company’s public filings with the SEC, the Company stockholders’ approval at the Special Meeting of our proposals to remove the Company’s current Board members and to elect the Group Nominees to fill the Board or a majority of the Board (together, the “Group Proposals”) would result in a “Change in Control” under a number of agreements with various Company executives (the “Executive Agreements”), including the Share Award Agreement with Mr. McDevitt (the “Share Award Agreement”). The definition of “Change in Control” in these agreements includes a change in the majority of the membership of the Board from the date of the respective agreements, unless such new Board members are approved by majority vote of the then-current Board. Upon a Change in Control, according to the provisions of the Executive Agreements, the following 300,000 restricted shares held by the following employees would immediately vest: Scott Chesky (50,000 shares), David Haar (50,000 shares), Bryan Russo (50,000 shares), and Janet Skonieczny (150,000 shares). Further, as detailed in the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement, upon a Change in Control, all shares outstanding under the Share Award Agreement (2,000,000 shares in total) would vest immediately, and the Company would pay Mr. McDevitt the compensation necessary to cover income taxes incurred in connection with the issuance of such shares (i.e., a tax gross-up payment).

In addition, while the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan does not include provisions relating to a change in control of the Company, under such plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board retains broad discretion to provide for the immediate acceleration of vesting of awards under the plan. As reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2011 (the “Form 10-Q”), approximately 2.6 million shares issued under the plan were unvested at September 30, 2011.

We have not independently verified if the copies of the Executive Agreements, Share Award Agreement and the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Filed Agreements”) publicly filed by the Company with the SEC are the same as the executed copies of the Filed Agreements, and the analyses above are based on our review of the Company’s public SEC filings. Other compensation or vesting provisions with other Company employees or directors may be triggered by a change in control. Further, the discussion of the impact under Mr. McDevitt’s Share Award Agreement of the Company stockholders’ approval of our proposals regarding the removal of the Company’s Board and the election of the Group Nominees at a Special Meeting is based entirely upon the Company’s 2011 Proxy Statement. If the Company stockholders approve the election of the Group Nominees, prior to the acceleration of vesting of any Company equity awards or the payment of any compensation or tax gross-up, we expect to review with counsel the original copies of all relevant agreements, award documentation and Company records associated with the creation of the potential obligations upon a change in control.

Pursuant to the Company’s bank Credit Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2010 (the “Credit Agreement”), the Group Proposals would trigger a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement, which includes a change in the majority of the Company’s Board, during any period of 24 consecutive months, unless approved by the original Board members in place at the beginning of such period and/or their elected successors). Under the Credit Agreement, a Change of Control constitutes an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which entitles

 

16


the lenders to cease making loan advances and to declare the outstanding principal and accrued interest due and payable. As reported in the Form 10-Q, as of September 30, 2011, the outstanding principal plus accrued interest under the Credit Agreement was $25.1 million. As above, we have not independently verified if the form of the Credit Agreement is the same as the executed copy of the Credit Agreement, and our analysis is based on the copy of the Credit Agreement, as amended, filed by the Company with the SEC.

Although the Concerned InfuSystem Stockholders have not had discussions with the Company’s Lenders, we believe that it is unlikely that if the Group Proposals were adopted that the Lenders would exercise their rights to accelerate loans made to the Company. While there can be no assurances that the loans under the Credit Agreement would not be accelerated, this belief is based on our view that the Group Nominees are qualified to oversee the business of the Company, and that the Company’s business is not dependent on any of the Company’s other officers or directors.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS TO BE PRESENTED AT NEXT ANNUAL MEETING
