Introduction

On November 14, 2018, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 9, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of May 8, 2018 (together, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among magicJack VocalTec Ltd., an Israeli corporation (“magicJack” or the “Company”), B. Riley Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“B. Riley”), and B. R. Acquisition Ltd., an Israeli corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of B. Riley (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of B. Riley (the “Merger”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each ordinary share of the Company (“Company Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares owned by B. Riley or Merger Sub, or by any wholly-owned subsidiary of B. Riley, Merger Sub, or the Company, if any, except to the extent such shares were held for the benefit of any third party), automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount, equal to $8.71, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

Subject to certain exceptions each option (or portion thereof) to purchase shares of Company Stock (“Company Stock Option”) granted under any Company equity plan, that was outstanding, but unexercised, immediately prior to the Effective Time became, at the Effective Time, fully vested, to the extent not previously vested, and, subject to certain exceptions, all outstanding options, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, were cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Company Stock subject to such cancelled Company Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the excess, if any, of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per share subject to such cancelled Company Stock Option, without interest, and less any required tax withholdings; provided, however, that any such Company Stock Option with respect to which the exercise price per share was equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration was cancelled in exchange for no consideration.

Each award of shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that was then subject to forfeiture or other restrictions (“Restricted Shares”) granted pursuant to any Company equity plan became vested as a result of the Merger, if and to the extent provided by the terms of the award or applicable Company equity plan, and any portion of the award that did not become so vested was forfeited.  Each vested Restricted Share was, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cancelled and converted into the right to receive, following the Effective Time, a cash payment equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest, and less any required tax withholdings.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and transactions completed thereunder does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 9, 2017 and is incorporated herein by reference.
