Calculation of Filing Fee

 

Transaction Valuation*     Amount of Filing Fee**

$1,050,000                                $210

 

* Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The transaction valuation assumes an aggregate cash payment of $1.05 million by the subject company in lieu of fractional shares immediately following a 20,000-for-1 reverse stock split to holders of fewer than 20,000 shares of the subject company’s common stock prior to the reverse stock split. The aggregate cash payment is equal to the product of the price of $1.05 per pre-reverse split share and 1.0 million pre-reverse split shares, the estimated aggregate number of shares held by such holders.  The estimated aggregate cash payment uses the mean of a range of possible transaction values that the Company calculated using certain assumptions about shares held in street name.

** The amount of the filing fee is calculated, in accordance with Rule 0-11(b), as amended, by multiplying the transaction value of $1,050,000 by one-fiftieth of one percent.

 

☒ Check the box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by §240.1-11(1)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement number, or the Form or Schedule and the date of its filing.

INTRODUCTION

 

 This Amendment No. 3 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “Schedule 13E-3”) is being filed by Emtec, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Emtec,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), Dinesh R. Desai, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (“Mr. Desai”), DARR Westwood LLC, a Delaware limited liability company of which Mr. Desai is the sole member (“DARR Westwood”), Sunil Misra, our Chief Strategy & Delivery Officer and a member of the Board (“Mr. Misra”), and Gregory P. Chandler, our Chief Financial Officer and a member of the Board (“Mr. Chandler,” and together with DARR Westwood and Messrs. Desai and Misra, the “Consenting Stockholders”) in connection with a proposed “going private” transaction within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The fairness of the cash consideration offered in this transaction has been approved by a Special Committee (the “Special Committee”) established by our Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Special Committee consists of Gregory L. Cowan, Robert Mannarino and Christopher M. Formant. This transaction has been approved by our Board. The Board has approved a 20,000-for-1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) such that stockholders owning less than one whole share of our common stock following the Reverse Split will have their fractional shares cancelled and converted into the right to receive the cash consideration described below, followed immediately thereafter by a 1-for-20,000 forward stock split (the “Forward Split”). The entire transaction, including the Reverse Split, the purchase of fractional shares after the Reverse Split and the Forward Split, is referred to below as the “Transaction.”

 

As a result of the Transaction, those stockholders who own of record or beneficially fewer than 20,000 shares of our common stock will have their fractional shares cashed out at a price of $1.05 for each share held by them prior to the effective date of the Reverse Split. Stockholders who own 20,000 or more shares of our common stock prior to the effective date of the Reverse Split will not receive cash as a result of the Reverse Split, and the total number of shares held by such stockholder will not change as a result of the Transaction.

 

The purpose of the Transaction is to reduce the number of record holders of our common stock to fewer than three hundred (300) so that we will be eligible to terminate the registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act.  In such case, we will no longer be required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or be subject to the reporting or other obligations under the Exchange Act. The deregistration of our common stock will also have the effect of terminating the quotation of our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, although our common stock may continue to trade on the “pink sheets” after the consummation of the Transaction.

 

We have made certain calculations regarding the Reverse Split relating to its effect upon our stockholder base. Based upon a review of a list of our stockholders of record furnished to us by Zions Bank, our transfer agent, we believe that the Reverse Split will result in the cancelation of approximately 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock.  This estimate uses the mean of a range of possible outcomes that the Company calculated using certain assumptions about shares held in street name.

 

The Transaction has been approved by the written consent of the Consenting Stockholders, who collectively beneficially own approximately 11.5 million shares, or approximately 63%, of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock as of April 30, 2013. No further stockholder approval is required under the Delaware General Corporation Law, and, accordingly, no proxies or consents are being solicited in connection with the Transaction.

 

 This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed with the SEC at the same time as the filing of the Company’s Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”). The Transaction will be conducted upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Information Statement.
