On December 16, 2009, Sunair filed the Articles of Merger which also reported a change in the
directors and officers of Sunair (the Articles of Merger). On that same date, Sunair also filed
the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with respect to Sunairs articles of
incorporation, authorized shares, registered agent, principal office and mailing address (Restated
Articles) with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations (the Division). Both
documents were approved by the Division on that same date. Additionally, the Bylaws for Sunair were
amended and restated on December 16, 2009 (the Restated Bylaws). In a press release issued on
December 17, 2009, Massey announced the closing of the Merger, which press release is filed as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference to this Item 1.01. The Articles of
Merger are filed as Exhibit 99.4 to this Form 8-K, which information is incorporated herein by
reference.
Subsequent to the Merger, the following events occurred:
|
(i) |
|
Effective December 17, 2009, the surviving company, Sunair, merged with and into
Sunair Sub, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Massey
(Sunair Sub). |
|
|
(ii) |
