OTHER EVENTS. On September 13, 2001, Global Sports, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") entered into the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") with Ashford.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Ashford"), and Ruby Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger-Sub"). Merger Sub will be merged with and into Ashford at the effective time of the merger (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger-Sub will cease and Ashford will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement at the effective time, each outstanding share of common stock par value $0.001 of Ashford (the "Ashford Common Stock") will be converted into a combination of cash in the amount of $0.125 and 0.0076 of a share of Company's common stock (the "Exchange Ratio"). Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding options to purchase shares of Ashford Common Stock will terminate. Further, any outstanding warrants to purchase Ashford Common Stock that do not by their terms terminate as a result of the Merger will be assumed by the Company and exchanged for warrants entitling the holder, upon the exercise of the warrants, to the merger consideration described above. The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of Ashford stockholders. In connection with the execution of the Reorganization Agreement, certain significant stockholders of Ashford (including members of Ashford's board of directors, members of management and other insiders of Ashford) have entered into Voting Agreements by which they have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 33% of Ashford's currently outstanding Common Stock in favor of the adoption of the Reorganization Agreement and related matters.
