ITEM 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On September 3, 2013, MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Contribution and Sale Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) by and among the Company, Gioia Systems, LLC. (“Gioia”) and MGT Interactive, LLC (“MGT Interactive”) whereby MGT Interactive acquired certain assets from Gioia which was the inventor and owner of a proprietary method of card shuffling for the online poker market. Trademarked under the name Real Deal Poker, the technology uses patented shuffling machines, along with permutation re-sequencing, allowing for the creation of up to 16,000 decks per minute in real time. The acquisition includes seven (7) U.S. Patents and several Internet URL addresses, including www.RealDealPoker.com. The information contained in such website is not part of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Gioia contributed the assets to MGT Interactive in exchange for a 49% interest in MGT Interactive and MGT contributed $200,000 to MGT Interactive in exchange for a 51% interest in MGT Interactive. The $200,000 contributed by the Company shall be utilized as working capital, which shall be used to cover the direct and associated costs relating to the achievement of a certification from Gaming Laboratories International (“GLI”). The Company has the right to acquire an additional 14% ownership interest in MGT Interactive from Gioia in exchange for a purchase price of $300,000 after GLI certification is obtained. Gioia, in turn, will have the right to re-acquire the 14% interest for a period of three years at a purchase price of $500,000. Gioia shall have the right to certain royalty payments from the Gross Rake payments, and any licensing or royalty income received by MGT Interactive.

 

Simultaneously with the entry into the Contribution Agreement, the Company and Gioa entered into a Limited Liability Company Agreement which serves as the operating agreement for MGT Interactive.

 

On September 3, 2013, the Company also entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Gioia whereby Gioia will act as a consultant for the Company to provide services to the Company primary related to obtaining GLI Certification. The Consulting Agreement terminates on the earlier of January 31, 2014 or the date on which GLI Certification is obtained. In the event that GLI Certification is obtained prior to January 31, 2013, the Consulting Agreement shall be extended for an additional year. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Gioia shall receive a monthly consulting fee of $10,000 of which $5,000 will be paid in cash per month and $5,000 will be deferred until GLI certification is obtained.

 

The Contribution Agreement, Consulting Agreement and Operating Agreement are attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Contribution Agreement, the Consulting Agreement and Operating Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.

After giving effect to the acquisition by MGT of 14% of the ownership interest of the Company, Gioia shall hold 35% of the ownership interest of the Company and MGT shall hold 65% of the ownership interest of the Company.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, within 3 days of receipt of the Purchase Notice, Gioia may notify the Company in writing that it is opting out of the sale of the above referenced 14% of the ownership interest of the Company and is not accepting the Contingent Consideration. Further, if Gioia sells 14% of the ownership interest of the Company and accepts the Contingent Consideration, at any time during the period that is three years from the date of the Purchase Notice, Gioia shall have the right to notify the Company in writing that it is repurchasing all but not less than all 14% of the ownership interest of the Company for $500,000.

In the event that the Company shall fail to pay or make available the Commercialization Amount as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, then Gioia shall have the right to repurchase all but not less than all of the then current ownership of MGT in the Company within 90 days of the end of the two year period described above for the aggregate amount of MGT’s total investment in the Company.

 

3.8       Claw Back. In the event that the Company is denied or otherwise does not receive GLI Certification for the Game as specified in Section 3.5 before the expiration of the Purchase Period and upon written demand from MGT, Gioia shall, within 10 calendar days of such written demand from MGT, (i) repurchase the Assets in exchange for the return of the $200,000 contribution made by MGT; provided, however, if on such expiration date GLI shall be processing and/or reviewing the Game for certification, such repurchase period shall be extended 30 calendar days, or (ii) forfeit all the ownership interest of the Company held by Gioia as of the expiration of the Purchase Period to MGT. In such event, MGT shall own 100% of the ownership of the Company.

The Patent Rights are free and clear of any Liens, licenses or other encumbrances and no rights, licenses, covenants not to sue or similar rights have been granted under the Patents.

Gioia has complied with its duty of candor and disclosure to the United States Patent and Trademark Office and any other applicable Governmental Authority with respect to all applications for registration included in the Patents and neither Gioia nor the inventors have made any material misrepresentations in any such applications. In the event that either the Company or MGT pays any annuities, application fees, maintenance fees and all and any other applicable fees for the Patents and takes any Actions in a manner so as to prevent abandonment or lapse, the amount of such any annuities, application fees, maintenance fees and all and any other applicable fees and the cost associated with such Actions shall be deducted from the $300,000 purchase price payable to Gioia pursuant to Section 3.6.

 

(c)       The Patents have not been the subject of any Action and there is no Action pending, asserted or threatened (i) by or against Gioia concerning the ownership, validity, registerability, enforceability or use of, misappropriation, infringement or licensed right to use, any of the Patents, or (ii) contesting or challenging the ownership, validity, registerability, enforceability or use of, misappropriation, infringement or Gioia’s or any of its customers’ right to use, any of the Patents, and Gioia has received no notice asserting that the Patents are invalid or unenforceable.

(g)       Gioia, its Affiliates, employees, assignors, licensors, or legal counsel did not fail to disclose or mischaracterize any known prior art or commit any other conduct, that constitutes inequitable conduct or renders the Patents unenforceable.

8.4       Investigation. The right to indemnification, payment of Losses or any other remedy based on the representations, warranties and the covenants hereunder will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired, or capable of being acquired at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation, warranty or covenant.

10
 

 

(a)       Promptly after delivery of an Indemnification Notice in respect of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may elect, by written notice to the Indemnitee within ten (10) days of an Indemnification Notice, to undertake the investigation and defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.

(b)       In the event that the Indemnifying Party, within ten (10) days after receipt of an Indemnification Notice, does not so elect to defend such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee will have the right to undertake the investigation and defense of such Third-Party Claim for the account of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnitee shall not settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim, or consent to the entry of a judgment, whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall elect to defend such Third-Party Claim, without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld)

8.2.     Advance of Expenses. Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding subject to this Article 8 shall, from time to time, upon request by the Indemnitee, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined in a judicial proceeding or a binding arbitration that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article 8. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse an Indemnitee for any costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), to the extent not reasonable unless approved in writing in advance.

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Officers and such other Persons as the MGT Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by such Persons in connection with the business, activities or operations of the Company, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Persons against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

 

8.5.     Interested Transactions. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Article 8 or otherwise by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies, if the transaction was otherwise permitted or not expressly prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

 

8.6.     Severability of Indemnification Obligations. If this Article 8 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Person indemnified pursuant to this Article 8 as to costs, charges and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article 8 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

8.7.     Exculpation. No Indemnitee shall have personal liability to the Company or the Members for monetary damages for breach of such Indemnitee’s fiduciary duties (if any) or for any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnitee in good faith on behalf of the Company. Each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and exculpated from liability for damages in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters that such Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such Person’s professional or expert competence.

MGT Capital Acquires Online Poker Technology

 

Patented Card Shuffling Technology Creates Fair and Auditable Gameplay

 

  

Harrison, NY (September 4, 2013) – MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MGT) announced today that its majority owned subsidiary MGT Interactive, LLC has acquired certain assets from Gioia Systems LLC, the inventor and owner of a proprietary method of card shuffling for the online poker market. Trademarked under the name Real Deal Poker, the technology uses patented shuffling machines, along with permutation re-sequencing, allowing for the creation of up to 16,000 decks per minute in real time.  Each newly created deck is then "dealt" for a hand of online poker, complete with burn cards and the option for a player to “cut” the deck. In addition to providing a higher level of realism, each deck provides an authentic randomized deal and full audit trail; both missing from currently used random number generating algorithms.  

 

The Real Deal system overcomes the inaccuracies inherent in current virtual dealing practices by creating unique decks formed by real cards that have been randomly shuffled first in a process that can be verified by players and regulatory authorities. In addition to poker, Real Deal can be adapted to other card games such as blackjack and baccarat. The Company intends to exhibit the system at the G2E convention in Las Vegas from September 23 - 26.

 

The acquisition includes 7 U.S. patents and several Internet URL addresses, including www.RealDealPoker.com.

 

Robert Ladd, CEO of MGT stated, "As U.S. states begin to allow betting on online poker, we expect Real Deal to offer regulators the only way to ensure fairness and allow for full transparency for any card dealt online.  We expect to partner with casinos as they offer online poker to adults in Nevada and New Jersey.  We also plan to license the Real Deal technology to other legal online poker sites that wish to offer their customers a more true-life poker experience.” The Company not yet entered into any such business arrangements and there can be no assurance that it will do so.
