Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie
Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers
Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of
Directors of Overland Storage Inc. (“Overland”) (NasdaqCM: OVRL) related
to the definitive merger agreement with Sphere 3D Corporation (“Sphere”)
for shareholders. Under the terms of the transaction, at the effective
time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each issued and outstanding
share of common stock of Overland ("Common Stock") will be canceled and
extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive a
fraction of a fully paid and nonassessable Parent Common Share equal to
the Exchange Ratio. The "Exchange Ratio" shall be equal to 0.510594 plus
the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the number of shares of common
stock of Sphere held by Overland immediately prior to the closing of the
Merger by (y) 18,495,865.20 plus the quotient obtained by dividing (A)
(i)105% of the principal amount of any indebtedness of Overland to Cyrus
Capital Partners and its affiliates repaid by Overland on or after the
date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the closing of the Merger
divided by (ii) 8.675 by (B) 18,495,865.20. The Merger Agreement
contains reciprocal operating covenants requiring operation of Overland
and Sphere in the ordinary course of business, as well as customary
negative covenants.
