(1) | On December 7, 2023, Troika Media Group, Inc. (the “Company”) received a determination letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company of its determination that, in accordance with its authority under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b), and IM-5101-1, the Company’s securities would be suspended from trading. Trading of the Company’s common stock and warrants was suspended at the opening of business on December 18, 2023 and delisted from Nasdaq. On December 18, 2023, the Company’s common stock and warrants began trading on the OTC under the symbols “TRKAQ” and “TRKAWQ”, respectively. |
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
As previously disclosed, on December 7, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (such court, the “Court” and such cases, the “Cases”).
On March 29, 2024, the Debtors filed monthly operating reports with the Court for the reporting month ended February 29, 2024, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01 is being furnished for informational purposes only and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing. The filing of this current report (including the Monthly Operating Reports attached hereto) will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
Item 8.01 Other Events
In lieu of filing Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company has filed, and will continue to file, with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “Commission”), under cover of Current Reports on Form 8-K, copies of the monthly operating reports required to be submitted to the Court in accordance with the procedures outlined in Exchange Act Release No. 9660 (June 30, 1972) (“Release No. 9660”), the Commission’s Staff Legal Bulletin No. 2 (April 15, 1997) and the Commission’s related no-action correspondence. The Company will satisfy all other provisions of the Exchange Act, including filing all Current Reports on Form 8-K (with the exception of the financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K that would be triggered by a purchase or sale of assets by the Company) and satisfying the proxy, issuer tender offer and going-private provisions. The Current Reports on Form 8-K will include material events relating to the Company’s expected winding up and dissolution (including as to whether any liquidation payments will be made to security holders, the amount of any liquidation payments and the amount of any expenses incurred). The Company believes that this modified reporting program is consistent with the protection of its investors as set forth in Release No. 9660.
Cautionary Note Regarding the Monthly Operating Reports
The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Reports, which were not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to the Company’s securities. The Monthly Operating Reports are limited in scope and have been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with requirements of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure applicable to the Cases. The Monthly Operating Reports were not reviewed by independent accountants, are in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and are subject to future adjustment. The financial information in the Monthly Operating Reports are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and, therefore, may exclude items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, valuations and disclosures. The Monthly Operating Reports also relate to periods that are different from the historical periods required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
Cautionary Statements Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities.
THE COMPANY'S SECURITYHOLERS ARE CAUTIONED THAT TRADING IN THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES DURING THE PENDENCY OF THE CASES IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND POSES SUBSTANTIAL RISKS. HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK OR OTHER EQUITY SECURITIES WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY PAYMENT OR OTHER DISTRIBUTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE ANTICIPATED LIQUIDATION OF THE DEBTORS. ACCORDINGLY, THE COMPANY URGES EXTREME CAUTION WITH RESPECT TO EXISTING AND FUTURE INVESTMENTS IN ITS SECURITIES.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K includes statements that are, or may be deemed, “forward-looking statements.” In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “may,” “could,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “approximately” or, in each case, their negative or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These forward-looking statements reflect the current beliefs and expectations of management made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein. Any forward-looking statements that we make in this Form 8-K speak only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 8-K or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The Company’s forward-looking statements in this Form 8-K include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company’s anticipated liquidation and that no distributions are expected to be made to the Company’s securityholders in connection with the liquidation, the Cases or otherwise. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
