Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On August 31, 2006, Intelligent Systems Corporation (the “Company”) completed the sale of its minority ownership position in Horizon Software, LLC (“Horizon”), a privately held software company based in Loganville, Georgia. The Company sold 4,137,579 Series A Preferred Shares of Horizon, representing its entire holdings in Horizon, to Horizon Software Holdings, Inc., an entity comprised of the founder and officers of Horizon (the “Buyer”) for a purchase price of $5,600,000. Simultaneously, the Company also sold its interest in an affiliate company of Horizon for $100,000. At the closing of the transactions, the Company received an aggregate of $2,875,000 in cash and a promissory note of Buyer in the principal amount of $2,875,000.
The promissory note of Buyer bears interest at the prime rate plus 1.5% and principal and interest are due on January 31, 2007, subject to certain conditions for accelerating or extending the maturity date. The promissory note is secured by the individual guarantees of the shareholders of Buyer and the assignment to the Company of 5,818,232 Common Shares of Horizon owned by Buyer.
The Company has held its ownership interest in Horizon since June 2002 and during that time, J. Leland Strange, the CEO and Chairman of the Company, has been a member of the Board of Managers of Horizon as representative of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Company’s original investment. The terms of the sale of the Horizon stock were negotiated on an arm’s length basis.
