~~TABLE~~Introductory ~~OF CONTENTS~~Note

~~Item~~As 5previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 13, 2022 by Sharps Compliance Corp.~~02. Departure~~, ofa ~~Directors~~Delaware orcorporation ~~Certain~~(the ~~Officers;~~“Company”), ~~Election~~the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of ~~Directors;~~Merger ~~Appointment~~(as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with Raven Buyer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Raven Houston Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ~~Certain~~Parent ~~Officers;~~(“Merger ~~Compensatory~~Sub”). Parent ~~Arrangements~~and Merger Sub are affiliates of ~~Certain~~Aurora ~~Officers~~Capital Partners.

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, on July 25, 2022, Merger Sub commenced a cash tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), at a purchase price per Share of $8.75 in cash (the “Offer Price”), without interest, and subject to any required withholding of taxes, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 25, 2022 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related letter of transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, which, together with the Offer to Purchase collectively constitute the “Offer”), filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) and Exhibit (a)(1)(B), respectively, to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed on July 25, 2022 (as amended and supplemented from time to time).

The Offer and all withdrawal rights thereunder expired at one minute following 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 19, 2022. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as the depositary and paying agent (the “Depositary and Paying Agent”), advised that, as of the Expiration Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), a total of 16,830,657 Shares had been validly tendered into and not withdrawn from the Offer (not including 182,350 Shares tendered by Notice of Guaranteed Delivery), representing approximately 82% of the then issued and outstanding Shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. The number of Shares tendered satisfied the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement and the Offer). All Offer Conditions (as defined in the Merger Agreement) having been satisfied or waived, Merger Sub accepted for payment, on August 22, 2022, all Shares validly tendered into and not withdrawn from the Offer and payment for such Shares was made to the Depositary and Paying Agent on August 23, 2022.

As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered into the Offer, Merger Sub acquired sufficient Shares to consummate the Merger pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) without a vote or any further action by the stockholders of the Company. Accordingly, on August 23, 2022, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with the Company being the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

In the Merger, each Share that was not tendered and irrevocably accepted pursuant to the Offer was cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”) and subject to any required withholding of taxes, other than Shares (i) held in the treasury of the Company, (ii) owned directly or indirectly by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), or (iii) held by stockholders who properly exercised their appraisal rights under Delaware law.

At the Effective Time, each Company stock option granted under any Company stock plan, whether vested or unvested or exercisable, that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and, in exchange therefor, the Surviving Corporation will pay to each former holder of any such cancelled Company stock option as soon as practicable following the Effective Time an amount in cash (without interest, and subject to deduction for any required withholding tax) equal to the product of (i) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price per Share under such Company stock option and (ii) the number of Shares subject to such Company stock option; provided, that if the exercise price per Share of any such Company stock option was equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company stock option was cancelled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof.

At the Effective Time, each restricted stock award granted under any Company stock plan, whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and, in exchange therefor, was converted automatically into and represents the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to each Share subject to the cancelled restricted stock award.

The foregoing summary description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, on August 23, 2022, Parent entered into an amendment (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to its existing credit agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement”; as amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) providing for a senior secured incremental term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $95.0 million and an increase to the commitments under its senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million (the “Incremental Facilities”).

The loans under the Incremental Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the election of Parent, (1) an adjusted base rate (calculated in a customary manner) plus an applicable margin or (2) an adjusted SOFR rate (calculated in a customary manner) plus an applicable margin.

In connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company and its subsidiaries joined the Credit Agreement as guarantors and granted liens on substantially all of their assets (subject to certain customary exceptions) to secure the obligations of Parent under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to incur, issue, assume, or guarantee certain indebtedness, issue shares of disqualified or preferred stock, pay dividends on equity, make investments, grant liens, consummate certain mergers and acquisitions or consummate certain asset sales or affiliate transactions. Additionally, certain customary events of default may result in an acceleration of the credit facilities under the Credit Agreement.

Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 23, 2022, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company terminated and repaid in full all outstanding obligations (other than certain surviving obligations) due under (i) the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2022, by and among, inter alios, Sharps Compliance, Inc. of Texas and the lender thereto, and (ii) the Master Equipment Finance Agreement, dated as of August 21, 2019, by and among, inter alios, Sharps Compliance, Inc. of Texas and the lender thereto.

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As described in the Introductory Note above, on August 22, 2022, Merger Sub irrevocably accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer on or prior to the expiration of the Offer. On August 23, 2022, the Merger was completed pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with no vote of the Company’s stockholders required to consummate the Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

The consideration paid to the Company’s stockholders and equityholders in the Offer and the Merger was approximately $176,975,068 million. The consideration and related fees and expenses were funded by proceeds from debt financing described above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, as well as by an equity contribution from certain funds affiliated with Aurora Capital Partners (the “Aurora Funds”) and certain co-investors in the Aurora Funds.

Nasdaq filed the Form 25 with the SEC on August 23, 2022.
