ITEM 1.01 –  ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT


On October 22, 2009, Enterprise Acquisition Corp. (the "Company" or "Enterprise") entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with Azimuth Opportunity, Ltd. ("Azimuth Opportunity") and Commerce Court Value, Ltd. ("Commerce Court"), pursuant to which Azimuth Opportunity will sell to Enterprise a total of 146,700 shares, and Commerce Court will sell to Enterprise a total of 632,126 shares of the Company’s common stock issued in its initial public offering (“Public Shares”) at a price per share of $9.98, subject to adjustment.


The purchases for each Stock Purchase Agreement will take place concurrently with or following the closing of the merger with ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. ("ARMOUR") and the purchases will be paid for with funds that will be released from the Company’s trust account upon consummation of the merger. Pursuant to each Stock Purchase Agreement, Azimuth Opportunity and Commerce Court have each agreed to have their Public Shares voted in favor of each of the stockholder proposals set forth in the Company's definitive proxy statement/prospectus, dated October 13, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2009.


Such purchases, if made, would increase the likelihood that holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock will vote in favor of the merger and that holders of less than 30% of Public Shares (or 50% of the Public Shares, if the proposal to increase the conversion threshold is approved at the special meeting) vote against the merger and seek conversion of their Public Shares into cash in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.


The foregoing description of each Stock Purchase Agreement with Azimuth Opportunity and Commerce Court are qualified in their entirety by the copy of such agreements filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this report, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

ITEM 8.01 – OTHER EVENTS

In addition, on October 28, 2009, Enterprise announced that it has rescheduled the special meetings of its stockholders and warrantholders, which had been scheduled for Thursday, October 29 2009, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time, to Thursday, November 5, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time. Enterprise believes that rescheduling the special meetings will allow Enterprise's stockholders and warrantholders, as well as additional potential investors, additional time to consider and evaluate the proposals set forth in the press release, and would result in a higher equity base for the combined company. Rescheduling the special meetings would also allow for the negotiation and execution of additional forward contracts between Enterprise and institutional investors.


The special meetings will be held on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time at the offices of Akerman Senterfitt, One Southeast 3rd Avenue, Suite 2500, Miami, Florida 33131. The record date for the special meetings remains October 5, 2009.


The press release announcing the rescheduling of the special meetings is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.


Additional Information and Where to Find It


This communication is being made in respect of the proposed business combination involving Enterprise and ARMOUR. In connection with the proposed transaction, ARMOUR filed Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the SEC on October 13, 2009, and the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus for Enterprise was mailed to stockholders and warrantholders of Enterprise on October 14, 2009. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF ENTERPRISE ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus and other documents filed with the SEC by Enterprise and ARMOUR through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Exhibit 10.1

Exhibit 10.1

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of this 22nd day of October, 2009 between Enterprise Acquisition Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer” or “Enterprise”) and the signatory on the execution page hereof (“Seller”).

WHEREAS, Buyer was organized for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, an operating business (“Business Combination”); and

WHEREAS, Buyer consummated an initial public offering in November, 2007 (“IPO”) in connection with which it raised net proceeds of approximately $247.5 million, a significant portion of which was placed in a trust account pending the consummation of a Business Combination, or the dissolution and liquidation of Buyer in the event it is unable to consummate a Business Combination on or prior to November 7, 2009; and

WHEREAS, Buyer has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 29, 2009, among Enterprise, ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("ARMOUR") and ARMOUR Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub Corp.") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARMOUR, pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub Corp. will merge with and into Enterprise (the "Merger") with Enterprise surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARMOUR and (ii) holders of Enterprise securities (not exercising conversion rights as described below) at the time of merger will be security holders of ARMOUR.  Upon consummation of the Merger, Enterprise's outstanding common stock will be converted into like securities of ARMOUR (the "ARMOUR Common Stock"), on a one-to-one basis.

 

WHEREAS, the approval of the Merger is contingent upon, among other things, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares of Enterprise at the special meeting called to approve the Merger; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to certain provisions in Buyer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a holder of shares of Buyer’s common stock issued in the IPO may, if it votes against the Merger, demand that Buyer convert such common shares into cash (“Conversion Rights”); and

WHEREAS the Merger cannot be consummated if holders of 30% (or more or 50% or more, if Enterprise stockholders approve an amendment to its amended and restated articles of incorporation) of Enterprise common stock issued in the IPO exercise their Conversion Rights; and

WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to sell to Buyer and Buyer has agreed to purchase from Seller the common shares set forth on the execution page of this Agreement (“Shares”) for the purchase price per share set forth therein (“Purchase Price Per Share”) and for the aggregate purchase price set forth therein (“Aggregate Purchase Price”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.

Purchase.  Subject to Section 7, Seller hereby sells to Buyer and Buyer hereby purchases from Seller at the Closing (as defined in Section 4(c)) the Shares at the Purchase Price Per Share, for the Aggregate Purchase Price.

2.

Agreement not to Convert; Appointment of Proxy and Attorney-in-Fact.  In further consideration of the Aggregate Purchase Price, Seller hereby agrees it has not and will not exercise its Conversion Rights or, if it has already exercised its Conversion Rights, it hereby withdraws and revokes such exercise and will execute all necessary documents and take all actions required in furtherance of such revocation.  Seller acknowledges that the record date to vote on the proposals set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement”) filed by Buyer with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has passed.  Accordingly, solely with respect to the vote for the Merger and the other proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement, Seller hereby agrees to upon request of Buyer vote in favor of the Merger and such other proposals and appoints Daniel C. Staton and Ezr a Shashoua and each of them each with full power of substitution, as his proxy and attorney-in-fact, to the full extent of Seller’s



1



rights with respect to the Shares (and any and all other shares or securities or rights issued or issuable in respect thereof) to vote in such manner as each such person or his substitute shall in his sole discretion deem proper, and to otherwise act (including without limitation acting by written consent) with respect to all the Shares at any meeting of stockholders (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned meeting) of Buyer held on or prior to November 7, 2009.  This proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.  Execution by Seller of this Agreement shall revoke, without further action, all prior proxies granted by Seller at any time with respect to the Shares (and such other shares or other securities) and no subsequent proxies will be given by Seller (and if given will be deemed not to be effective).

3.

No Right to Additional Shares.  Enterprise's stockholders of record are entitled to receive one share of ARMOUR Common Stock for each share of Enterprise common stock owned immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (the “Exchange”).  Although Seller will be a stockholder of record immediately prior to the Merger, Seller hereby acknowledges that Seller irrevocably waives any right, title or interest it may have in receiving any such ARMOUR Common Stock distributed pursuant to the Exchange.  Seller hereby acknowledges that by virtue of the sale hereunder, Seller will not become a stockholder of ARMOUR, and the Shares shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist and shall represent only the right to receive the Aggregate Purchase Price there for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Additionally, each of Buyer and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that this p rovision is material to this Agreement and a significant consideration in Buyer’s willingness to enter into this Agreement.

4.

Closing Matters.

(a)

Within two business days of the date of this Agreement, (i) Seller shall provide Buyer with a true and correct copy of the voting instruction form with respect to the Shares held by Seller indicating the financial institution through which such shares are held and the control number provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions (or other similar service provider) regarding the voting of the Shares or written confirmation of such information as would appear on the voting instruction form; and (ii) Buyer shall send the notice attached as Annex 1 hereto to Enterprise's transfer agent.

(b)

Prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer appropriate instructions for book entry transfers of ownership of the Shares from Seller to Buyer; provided, that the instructions shall not be effective until Closing.

(c)

The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares (“Closing”) will occur on the date on which Buyer’s trust account is liquidated after the Merger is consummated (the “Closing Date”).  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the trust account to be liquidated on the Closing Date but in no event shall such liquidation occur more than one business day after the Closing Date.  At the Closing, Buyer shall pay Seller the Aggregate Purchase Price by wire transfer from Enterprise's trust account of immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller and Seller against the delivery of the Shares shall deliver the Shares to Buyer electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian) System to an account specified by Buyer.  In the event the trust account does not contain sufficient funds to satisfy the Purch ase Price on the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay Seller, by wire transfer, such additional amounts from sources other than the trust account to satisfy the Purchase Price.  It shall be a condition to the obligation of Buyer on the one hand and Seller on the other hand, to consummate the transfer of the Shares contemplated hereunder that the other party’s representations and warranties are true and correct on the Closing Date with the same effect as though made on such date, unless waived in writing by the party to whom such representations and warranties are made.

Exhibit 99.1

Exhibit 99.1


Enterprise Acquisition Corp. Announces November 5, 2009 Special Meeting of

Stockholders and Warrantholders to Approve Merger

with ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc.


BOCA RATON, Florida, October 28, 2009 – Enterprise Acquisition Corp. (NYSE Amex, Units: “EST.U”, Common Stock: “EST,” Warrants: “EST.WS”) (“Enterprise”) announced today that it has rescheduled the special meetings of its stockholders and warrantholders, which had been scheduled for Thursday, October 29, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time, to Thursday, November 5, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time. Enterprise believes that rescheduling the special meetings will allow Enterprise's stockholders and warrantholders, as well as certain potential investors, additional time to consider and evaluate the proposals set forth below, and would result in a higher equity base for the combined company. Rescheduling the special meetings would also allow for the negotiation and execution of additional forward contracts between Enterprise and institutional investors.

 

The special meetings will be held on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time at the offices of Akerman Senterfitt, One Southeast 3rd Avenue, Suite 2500, Miami, Florida 33131. The record date for the postponed special meetings remains October 5, 2009.


At the special meeting of stockholders, Enterprise stockholders will be asked to approve (i) amendments to the terms of its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to allow for the consummation of the proposed transaction with ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. ("ARMOUR"); (ii) the merger agreement with ARMOUR and the business combination contemplated by such merger agreement; and (iii) an increase from 30% to 50% the threshold contained in Enterprise's amended and restated certificate of incorporation regarding the amount of shares of common stock issued in Enterprise's initial public offering that may seek conversion without preventing a business combination from being consummated. In addition, at the special meeting of warrantholders, Enterprise warrantholders will be asked to approve an amendment to the warrant agreement to (i) increase the exercise price of Enterprise’s warrants from $7.50 per share to $11.00 per share and (ii) extend the expiration date of the warrants from November 7, 2011 to November 7, 2013.

Upon consummation of the business combination, ARMOUR’s investment team will be led by Co-Chief Executive Officers Scott J. Ulm and Jeffrey J. Zimmer.
