Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

As described below, the Reporting Persons did not purchase the Covered Shares (as defined below), and thus no funds were used for such purpose. Answers.com entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 2, 2011, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the “Merger Agreement”), with AFCV and A-Team Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of AFCV (“Merger Sub”) that provides for the acquisition of Answers.com by AFCV by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into Answers.com (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Answers.com would become a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of AFCV. As an inducement for AFCV to enter into the Merger Agreement and in consideration thereof, Robert Rosenschein and Redpoint Omega, L.P., Redpoint Omega Associates, LLC (with the amount of their respective ownership of equity securities or warrants and options to purchase equity securities identified on Schedule A) (collectively, the “Securityholders”, and the Answers.com equity securities owned by them collectively referred to as the “Covered Shares”), entered into Voting Agreements with AFCV, dated February 2, 2011, the forms of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4 and more fully described in Item 4, whereby, subject to the terms of such Voting Agreements, each Securityholder agreed, among other things, that, at every meeting of Answers.com’s stockholders called, such Securityholder shall vote the Covered Shares then held by him or it in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and against the approval of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each of the Securityholders also granted AFCV an irrevocable proxy granting AFCV the right to vote such shares in favor of such matters (the Voting Agreements and proxies together are referred to herein as the “Voting Agreements”). AFCV did not pay additional consideration to the Securityholders in exchange for the Voting Agreements.

References to, and descriptions of, the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements throughout this Schedule 13D are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement included as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D and the Voting Agreements included as Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4 to this Schedule 13D, respectively. These agreements are incorporated into this Schedule 13D where such references and descriptions appear.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

(a) – (b) As described in Item 3 above, this Schedule 13D relates to the proposed acquisition of Answers.com by AFCV pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. To induce AFCV to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Securityholders entered into the Voting Agreements. The purpose of the Voting Agreements is to facilitate the consummation of the merger.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time and as a result of the Merger:

 

   

Each share of Answers.com’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, other than shares as to which dissenters’ rights are properly asserted under Delaware law, will be converted into the right to receive a cash amount of $10.50, without interest (the “Common Stock Merger Consideration”);

 

   

Each share of Answers.com’s Series A convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) a quotient, the numerator of which is the sum of (A) $101.76, plus (B) accrued interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum accrued daily on the principal amount of $101.76 calculated for the period beginning the day after the Last Series A Dividend Payment Date until the Effective Time (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement), and the denominator of which is $4.50, multiplied by (ii) $10.50, without interest;

 

   

Each share of Answers.com’s Series B convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) a quotient, the numerator of which is the sum of (A) $100.00, plus (B) accrued interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum accrued daily on the principal amount of $100.00 calculated for the period beginning the day after the Last Series B Dividend Payment Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) until the Effective Time, and the denominator of which is $5.50, multiplied by (ii) $10.50, without interest;

 

   

Each outstanding Vested Company Option (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of common stock subject to such Vested Company Option, multiplied by (B) the Common Stock Merger Consideration over (ii) the aggregate exercise price of such Vested Company Option, without any interest and less any required withholdings; and


Table of Contents
   

(iv) Each Unvested Company Option (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) outstanding at the effective time of the Merger shall be converted into the right to receive, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Unvested Company Option, on each date in which shares of common stock subject to such Unvested Company Option would have become vested and exercisable (provided that the holder of such Unvested Company Option is still employed by Answers.com on such date), an amount in cash equal to the excess (if any) of (i) the product of (A) the number of shares of common stock subject to such Unvested Company Option that would have otherwise vested on a Vesting Event (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), multiplied by (B) the Common Stock Merger Consideration, over (ii) the aggregate exercise price of such Unvested Company Option, without interest and less any required withholdings.

By executing the Voting Agreements, the Securityholders have (i) agreed to vote all of the Covered Shares beneficially owned by them or acquired prior to the expiration of the Voting Agreement in favor of the Merger, adoption of the Merger Agreement and any other matter that would reasonably be expected to facilitate the merger, and against any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or any Alternative Transaction Proposal (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) or any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (ii) granted irrevocable proxies to AFCV granting AFCV the right to vote the Covered Shares as specified in clause (i). The Voting Agreements terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) termination of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the consummation of the Merger.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements.

(c) Not applicable.

(d) It is anticipated that upon consummation of the Merger, the officers and directors of Merger Sub shall become the officers and directors of Answers.com (the surviving corporation in the Merger), until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

(e) Other than as a result of the Merger described in Item 3 and above in this Item 4, not applicable.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) Upon consummation of the Merger, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Answers.com shall be amended and restated in their entirety in accordance with the terms of Section 2.4 of the Merger Agreement.

(h) – (i) If the Merger is consummated as planned, Answers.com common stock will cease to be quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.’s Capital Market and will become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(j) Not applicable.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) As a result of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a group, within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act, with the Securityholders. In addition, as a result of the Voting Agreements, AFCV may be deemed to beneficially own 4,617,051 shares of Answers.com’s common stock, which includes (i) 300,960 shares of Answers.com’s common stock, (ii) warrants to purchase 1,303,031 shares of Answer’s common stock, (iii) options to purchase 383,547 shares of Answer’s common stock which are exercisable within 60 days of February 2, 2011, (iv) 60,000 shares of Answers.com’s Series A convertible Preferred Stock (which are convertible into 1,356,786 shares of Answers.com’s common stock as of February 2, 2011), and (v) 70,000 shares of Answers.com’s Series B Preferred Stock (which are convertible into 1,272,727 shares of Answers.com’s common stock as of February 2, 2011). Based on the number of shares of Answers.com’s common stock outstanding as of February 2, 2011 (as represented by Answers.com in the Merger Agreement), the shares which AFCV may be deemed to beneficially own represent (A) approximately 3.7 % of the issued and outstanding shares of Answers.com’s common stock1, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Answers.com’s Series A convertible Preferred Stock, and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Answers.com’s Series B convertible Preferred Stock, or (B) 27.23% of Answers.com’s common stock on an as-converted basis2. By virtue of the affiliate relationships among AFCV and each of the other Reporting Persons, such other Reporting Persons may be deemed to own beneficially all of such number of shares. Hence each such other Reporting Person may be deemed to be members of a group that beneficially owns 4,617,051

Beneficial ownership of Answers.com’s common stock, Answers.com’s Series A convertible Preferred Stock and Answers.com’s Series B convertible Preferred Stock is being reported hereunder solely because each Reporting Person, respectively, may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of such common stock, Series A convertible Preferred Stock and Series B convertible Preferred Stock as a result of the relationships described under Item 2 and Item 3 and the matters described in Item 3, Item 4 and Item 5 of this Schedule 13D. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that it is the beneficial owner of any shares of common stock, Series A convertible Preferred Stock or Series B convertible Preferred Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

(b) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting power of the 300,960 shares of Answers.com’s common stock3, 60,000 shares of Answers.com’s Series A convertible Preferred, and 70,000 shares of Answers.com’s Series B convertible Preferred Stock4 held by the Securityholders due to AFCV’s rights under the Voting Agreements to direct the voting of such shares with respect to the matters specified in the Voting Agreements (and to vote such shares in accordance with the proxies). However, neither AFCV nor any of the other Reporting Persons control the voting of such shares with respect to other matters, nor do they possess any other rights as an Answers.com’s stockholder with respect to such shares. In addition, Reporting Persons, other than AFCV, do not have any rights under the Voting Agreements. Information required by Item 2 (a)-(c) with respect to each Securityholder is set forth on Schedule A. To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Securityholders (i) have been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) during the last five years, or (ii) have been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws during the last five years.

(c) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no transactions in Answers.com’s common stock, Answers.com’s Series A convertible Preferred Stock or Answers.com’s Series B convertible Preferred Stock have been effected during the past sixty days by any person named pursuant to Item 2.

(d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person other than the Securityholders identified on Schedule A has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such shares.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Other than as described in this Item 6 and in Items 3, 4 and 5, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between any of the Reporting Persons and any person with respect to any securities of Answers.com, including, without limitation, the transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies or any pledge or contingency, the occurrence of which would give another person voting or investment power over the securities of Answers.com.
