Tyhee was satisfactorily proceeding with the previously announced financing, through a special purpose vehicle (SPV), in an orderly manner and was of the opinion that this SPV financing would likely be achieved on the date specified. On March 4, 2014, Santa Fe advised Tyhee that Santa Fe had received notice that Tony Cavanaugh, an alleged stockholder of Santa Fe, had filed in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of New Mexico, County of Bernalillo, a purported class action complaint on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, against Santa Fe, the five current members of its Board of Directors, Tyhee and Tyhee's wholly-owned subsidiary, Tyhee Merger Sub, Inc. Tyhee has not been served in the action.
After Santa Fe provided notice of this legal action, Tyhee both formally and informally requested full transparency from Santa Fe on the impacts of the action, including but not limited to impacts on timing of merger closure, potential fees that Tyhee would be required to pay on behalf of Santa Fe, and potential injunctions that may result. Santa Fe has not responded to any of these requests by Tyhee to date. Tyhee immediately notified the potential investors in the SPV financing of this and other potential legal action against Santa Fe and formally requested Santa Fe for an extension of the time to complete the SPV financing so that proper evaluation and transparency of the action could be understood and plainly delivered to potential SPV investors. Santa Fe did not accede to this request.
Santa Fe has demanded payment of a break fee in the amount of $300,000 in connecton with their termination of the merger agreement.
Tyhee is continuing to evaluate and have discussions with additional acquisition targets as outlined in the Company's press release of November 14, 2014 and remains strongly committed to a policy of growth by acquisition.
