Item 1.01.            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Item 2.01.            Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 5, 2009, KIT digital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“KIT digital”), and International Management Group GmbH, a company organized under the laws of Germany, entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”).  Under the Share Purchase Agreement, at the closing on October 9, 2009, KIT digital acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Nunet AG, a stock corporation organized under the laws of Germany (“Nunet”), for an aggregate purchase price of EUR 7,646,750, consisting of:

   ·
a cash payment of EUR 5,400,000 payable by KIT digital at closing (which includes EUR 400,000 in a payment by KIT digital to achieve a neutral working capital level at closing);

 
·
a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of EUR 1,662,500, due March 31, 2011; and
 
 
·
another convertible promissory note in the principal amount of EUR 584,250, due June 30, 2010, which will be used by KIT digital to satisfy any indemnity claims in accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement.
 
An additional EUR 300,000 was paid by KIT digital at closing to cover brokers, introducing parties, management incentives and other transaction-related costs.
 
Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, KIT digital’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, personally guaranteed the payment obligations under the convertible promissory notes.
 
Nunet, located in Cologne, Germany, is considered a premier global provider in the management and delivery of video on mobile devices.
 
The purchase price was determined as a result of arm’s-length negotiations between the parties.  The foregoing description of the acquisition does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of both the Share Purchase Agreement and the convertible promissory notes, a copy of each of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.  The securities offered in the acquisition have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
 
The cash portion of the acquisition was funded from the net proceeds of KIT digital’s August 2009 public offering and cash reserves.

KIT digital had no previous relationship or association with Nunet.  There are presently no significant changes anticipated in the business or product lines of either KIT digital or Nunet.

KIT digital announced the Nunet acquisition in a press release issued on October 5, 2009, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated in its entirety by reference.

PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT

(a)
As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days  after the Closing Date, in the case of the Closing Date being after 16 November 2009), the Purchaser shall cause the independent auditors of the Company to prepare, and deliver to the Seller, fully audited financial statements of the Company, and the corresponding calculation of the working capital of the Company in accordance with Schedule 3, as of 30 September 2009 close of business ("Working Capital").
 
 
(b)
Upon receipt of the calculation of the Working Capital, the Seller and the Sellers’ representatives shall be permitted during the succeeding thirty (30) days period ("Review Period") reasonable access at all reasonable times, during normal business hours, to personnel and the books and records of the Company, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the work papers prepared by the Purchaser, the Purchaser’s parent and/or their representatives and the independent auditors of the Company, in each case to the extent that they directly relate to the Company and to such historical financial information relating to the Company as the Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the calculation of the Working Capital.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall be required to disclose any information to the Seller if such disclosure would contravene any applicable mandatory laws.
 
 
(c)
On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Seller may object to the calculation of the Working Capital by delivering to the Purchaser a written statement setting forth, in reasonable detail that puts the Purchaser in a position to conduct its own review, all of the Seller’s objections to the calculation of the Working Capital ("Statement of Objections"). If the Seller fails to deliver the Statement of Objections within the Review Period, the calculation of the Working Capital shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Seller and the calculation of the Working Capital shall be used in computing the Purchase Price Adjustment Amount (as defined below). If the Seller delivers the Statement of Objections within the Review Period, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections, and, if the same are so resolved, the calculation of the Working Capital with such changes as agreed in writing by the Seller and the Purchaser shall be final and binding and shall be used in computing the Price Adjustment Amount. The parties agree that if they are in dispute over whether sufficient detail is contained in an alleged Statement of Objections, then the foregoing deemed acceptance shall not apply.
 
 
(d)
If the Seller and the Purchaser fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections within 10 (ten) Business Days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections, then such matters shall, not later than 5 (five) Business Days after one of the Parties terminates discussions in writing with respect to the Statement of Objections, be submitted for resolution to Deloitte (unless such firm is then serving as the primary external accounting firm of one of the Parties, in which case the Parties shall mutually agree on another acceptable firm) ("Accounting Expert") who shall, acting as expert ("Schiedsgutachter") and not as arbitrator, resolve the disputes set forth in the Statement of Objections and make any adjustments to the calculation of the Working Capital. If the Parties do not agree to appoint an independent auditor within 3 weeks the Institute of German Auditors ("IDW e. V.") shall appoint an auditor to determine the Working Capital with binding effect.
 
 
9

 

 
(e)
Subject to, and to the extent permitted by, any applicable laws, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each make, and cause the Company to make, readily available to the Accounting Expert all relevant work papers and books and records relating to the Company, and those relating to the matters under discussion. Copies of all such materials and information provided by a party to the Accounting Expert shall be concurrently delivered to the other party to the proceeding.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Parties shall be required to disclose any information to the Seller if such disclosure would contravene any applicable mandatory laws.
 
 
(f)
The Parties shall jointly instruct the Accounting Expert to make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the Parties hereto shall agree in writing) after its engagement and its resolution of the dispute and its adjustments to the calculation of the Working Capital shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties hereto.
 
 
(g)
Within five (5) Business Days of the
 
 
(i)
acceptance of the calculation of the Working Capital by the Seller or
 
 
(ii)
the resolution of the Seller's objections in connection therewith or
 
 
(iii)
the issuance and receipt by both Parties of the Accounting Expert's determination of the Working Capital,
 
to the extent that the Working Capital is less than or more than the neutral level as described in Schedule 3 ("Neutral Level"),  the Purchase Price shall, on a Euro-for-Euro basis, be adjusted as follows:
 
 
a.
downward (if the Working Capital is lower than the Neutral Level) or
 
 
b.
upward (if the Working Capital is greater than the Neutral Level).
 
To the extent a downward Purchase Price Adjustment is warranted under this clause 4(g), the Purchaser shall be permitted to deduct an amount equal to the amount of such downward Purchase Price Adjustment from the principal amount of the Indemnity Promissory Note and, with respect to any amount exceeding the principal amount of the Indemnity Promissory Note, by demanding payment of such excess directly from the Seller, and the Seller hereby agrees to make any such payment within five (5) Business Days of any such demand. To the extent an upward Purchase Price Adjustment is warranted under this clause 4(g), the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to the amount of such upward Purchase Price Adjustment within five (5) Business Days of the calculation thereof.
 
 
(h)
The fees of the Accounting Expert shall be divided equally between the Seller and the Purchaser.

This shall include the opportunity to discuss with the Purchaser any measures which the Seller proposes to take in connection with the Third Party Claim.  Without the prior written approval of the Seller, the Purchaser shall not compromise, dispose of or settle any Third Party Claim or assume any liability in connection with any Third Party Claim.  Costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller in defending and investigating such Third Party Claim shall be borne by the Seller, provided however that to the extent a Breach does not exist, any such costs and expenses, also including those reasonably incurred by the Seller, shall be borne by the Purchaser.
 
With respect to any tax related Third Party Claim in relation to which the Seller itself may be entitled to any indemnification or other claim under the SPA by which the Seller had acquired the Company in 2006 (the "2006 SPA"), the Purchaser shall cooperate with the Seller and the Seller's vendor to the extent reasonably possible, including by way of access to information and the granting of procedural rights, to ensure that the Seller can fully benefit from the existing protection of the Seller under the 2006 SPA.

Except for any Purchaser Claim or any claims for specific performance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all rights and remedies of any legal nature which the Purchaser may otherwise have against the Seller in connection with this Agreement shall be excluded. This shall in particular apply to:
 
 
(a)
any right to withdraw from (zurücktreten), or otherwise terminate, this Agreement; and
 
 
(b)
any right to reduce the Purchase Price (Minderung);

7.
LIMITATIONS
 
7.1
The Purchaser shall only be entitled to any claim under this Agreement, including, among others any claim the Purchaser may have against the Seller as a consequence of the Additional Agreements provided for in clause 10, if and only to the extent that, after application of the terms and conditions (including limitations and exclusions) set forth in this clause 7:
 
 
(a)
it is an individual claim which exceeds an amount of EUR 35,000 (in words: Euro thirty five thousand) excluding interests, costs and expenses in each individual case ("Threshold"), and
 
 
(b)
the cumulative and aggregated amount of all Losses exceeds the sum of EUR 150,000 (in words: Euro one hundred fifty thousand) in the aggregate (such amount, the “Basket”), it being understood that in calculating the Basket the amounts exempted under clause (a) above shall not be included. As soon as the amount of damages exceeds the Basket, the obligation of the Seller to pay any indemnification shall not only be with respect to the amount of damages which is in excess of the Basket, but from the first EURO on a EURO-to-EURO basis.
 
The Threshold and Basket shall not apply with respect to any Purchaser Claim in relation to clauses 4(h) [Fees of Accounting Expert], 5.20(a) [Absence of Residual Payment Obligations], 5.28 [No Broker], 10.5 [Restructuring/Transitional Cost], 14.1 [Costs] and any other Breach by the Seller of a payment covenant (as opposed to a Breach of a representation or warranty) that is expressly set forth in this Agreement.
 
7.2
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all claims of the Purchaser vis-à-vis the Seller based on a Breach of the Seller shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount of EUR 5,000,000 (“Cap”).
 
7.3
This clause 7.3 is deliberately left blank.
 
7.4
The Purchaser shall not be entitled to make any Purchaser Claim under this Agreement:
 
 
(a)
to the extent that any such Purchaser Claim arises as a result only of any change in (or in the judicial interpretation of) law or an enactment or repeal of legislation or regulation, or the introduction, change in or cessation of the published practice of any taxation authority taking effect after the Signing Date, whether or not the change proposes to be effective retrospectively in whole or in part;
 
 
(b)
to the extent that the amount of the Purchaser Claim is actually recovered from a third party or under an insurance policy;
 
 
(c)
to the extent that any such Purchaser Claim arises as a result of a circumstance which (i) circumstance arose with the consent of the Purchaser and (ii) which result could reasonably have been anticipated by the Purchaser when giving his consent.
 
 
(d)
to the extent the Purchaser was actually aware either of the claim or the facts, matters and circumstances constituting such claim. Facts, matters and circumstances disclosed in this Agreement and/or its schedules or exhibits or contained in the data room documents listed in the data room or contained in the data room DVD both attached (in case of the DVD as soon as possible after the Signing Date, if necessary) hereto as Schedule 8, or matters in the public domain are deemed to be actually known by the Purchaser. The knowledge of the Purchaser's managing directors', advisors and those of their respective employees who were engaged in reviewing and carrying out the due diligence and the knowledge they should have had, applying the diligence of a prudent business man on the Signing Date, shall be imputed to the Purchaser.

 
22

 
 
 
(e)
to the extent that the claim is in connection with the fact that so called “open source” software has been used in the creation of parts of the IP Rights or in conjunction with software written on behalf of the Company;
 
 
(f)
to the extent it relates to any right of any current or past employee of the Company to claim an entitlement to reasonable remuneration in respect of any future application by the Company for a patent.
 
7.5
All Purchaser Claims shall be time-barred 18 months after the Closing Date with the exception of (i) any claims under clause 5.15 which shall be time-barred six months after the relevant tax assessment has become final and binding; and (ii) any claims under clause 5.4 which shall be time-barred 5 years after the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser Claim shall be time-barred if written notice of such Purchaser Claim has been given in accordance with clause 6.2 prior to the expiration of the applicable period set forth in the foregoing sentence, provided, however, that – subject to any other agreement between the Parties - proper legal action will be filed with the competent court or Arbitration Tribunal by the Purchaser against the Seller in relation to such Purchaser Claim within a period of three (3) months after such notice.
 
7.6
The limitations on liability set forth herein shall not apply to any claims of the Purchaser against the Seller arising as a result of intentional breaches of contract by and/or fraudulent behaviour of the Seller.
 
7.7
Deduction from Indemnity Promissory Note
 
 
(a)
If the Purchaser believes that it is entitled to a Purchaser Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement the Purchaser may deliver to the Seller a certificate of the Purchaser (a “Purchaser’s Certificate”), which Purchaser’s Certificate shall:
 
(i)
state that the Purchaser has paid or incurred a Loss and is entitled to payment under clause 6 (an “Indemnification Item”);
 
(ii)
state the aggregate amount of each such Indemnification Item; and
 
(iii)
specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of each individual Indemnification Item.
 
 
(b)
If the Seller shall object to any amount claimed in connection with any Indemnification Item specified in any Purchaser’s Certificate, the Seller shall, within 10 Business Days after delivery by the Purchaser to the Seller of such Purchaser’s Certificate, deliver to the Purchaser a certificate of the Seller, (a “Seller’s Certificate”) (i) specifying each such amount to which the Seller objects and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the nature and basis for each such objection.  If the Purchaser shall not have received a Seller’s Certificate objecting to the amount claimed with respect to an Indemnification Item within 10 Business Days after delivery to the Seller of a Purchaser’s Certificate specifying such Indemnification Item, the Seller shall be deemed to have acknowledged the correctness of the amount claimed on such Purchaser’s Certificate with respect to such Indemnification Item, (the “Amount Claimed”) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in the Indemnity Promissory Note, the Purchaser shall be permitted to deduct the Amount Claimed   from the then outstanding value of the Indemnity Promissory Note  (the “Outstanding IPN Value”).

 
23

 

 
(c)
If the Purchaser shall receive, within 10 Business Days after delivery to the Seller of a Purchaser’s Certificate, a Seller’s Certificate objecting to the amount claimed with respect to any Indemnification Item specified in such Purchaser’s Certificate, the Seller and the Purchaser shall attempt to reconcile their differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto.  If the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within 10 Business Days after the receipt by the Purchaser of the Seller’s written notice of dispute, the Seller and the Purchaser shall submit the Indemnification Items remaining in dispute for resolution to an independent person or entity with experience resolving disputes of such nature that is mutually satisfactory to the Seller and the Purchaser (“Independent Person”), which shall, within 20 Business Days after such submission, determine and report to the Seller and the Purchaser upon such remaining disputed Indemnification Items, and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Seller and the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or in the Indemnity Promissory Note, the Purchaser shall be permitted to deduct an amount equal to the appropriate portion of the Amount Claimed (whether it be in whole or in part) as resolved in its favor by mutual agreement of the parties or by the Independent Person from the then Outstanding IPN Value of  the Indemnity Promissory Note.
 
 
(d)
The fees and disbursements of the Independent Person shall be allocated between the Seller and the Purchaser in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Independent Person that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Independent Person) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted.
 
 
(e)
The procedure set out in this clause 7.7 may continue to be used by the Purchaser until the entire Outstanding IPN Value of the Indemnification Promissory Note has been reduced to zero.
 
 
(f)
For the avoidance of doubt, the size of any Amount Claimed under any Purchaser Certificate shall not exceed the then Outstanding IPN Value, and instead,  if the Purchaser wishes to claim for any alleged Loss which exceeds the then Outstanding IPN Value of the Indemnification Promissory Note, the Purchaser may only pursue such a claim as a Purchaser Claim as provided for in the remainder of this Agreement, and not as provided for in this clause 7.7, including without limitation, by submitting such Purchaser Claim to binding arbitration under clause 17.1.

The Purchaser shall not be entitled to assign any rights or claims hereunder without the prior written approval of the Seller. Except as explicitly provided for herein, neither Party shall be entitled to a right of set-off or retention with respect to any rights or claims hereunder unless the right or claim of the Party claiming a right of set-off or retention has been acknowledged in writing by the other Party or has been confirmed by final decision of a competent court.

The Company is permitted to deduct from the Principal under this Note certain amounts that may be owed by the Holder to the Company pursuant to the Waiver and Agreement dated on the date hereof between the Company and the Holder.  In the event the Company elects to make any such deduction in accordance with said Waiver and Agreement, the Company shall issue and deliver a new promissory note to the Holder reflecting, as appropriate (i) a reduced Principal amount, (ii) reduced Principal payment amounts under Section 1(b) and (iii) a reduced Prepayment Amount under Section 2.  Simultaneously with the delivery by the Company to the Holder of a new convertible promissory note substantially in the form of this Note and reflecting the foregoing, this Note shall automatically, without any action by the Company or the Holder, be cancelled and replaced by such new convertible promissory note, and all obligations hereunder shall be extinguished.
 
Payments of principal of, interest on and any other amounts with respect to this Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) are to be made in Euros.
 
Notwithstanding any provision of this Note, the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to pay, and the Holder shall not be permitted to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive, any compensation that constitutes interest under applicable law in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law.
 
The original Holder of this Note will be deemed, by its acceptance hereof, to have agreed to the provisions and to have made the representations and warranties set forth in clause 5 of the Purchase Agreement.

(a)         Optional Conversion.  The Company may, at its option, at any time prior to the payment or prepayment of this Note, convert the Principal balance of this Note in whole (and, at the Company’s option, all unpaid accrued Interest hereunder) into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”), at a price per share of Common Stock equal to the 20-day trailing volume weighted average price of the Common Stock (the “Conversion Price”), calculated as of the trading day immediately preceding the Conversion Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible exceed 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (when added to the number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder and any of its affiliates immediately prior to the conversion of this Note), without giving effect to any shares of Common Stock subject to or issued pursuant to the conversion of this Note.  For the avoidance of doubt, if this Note is converted before the expiration of the prepayment period set forth in Section 2, the Company is still required to convert the full Principal balance as opposed to the reduced Prepayment Amount.  In the event the Conversion Shares would exceed 10.0%, the Company shall not have the option to convert the shares hereunder.  The effective date of any voluntary conversion hereunder is herein referred to as the “Conversion Date.”

 
 
4

 

(b)         Mechanics of Conversion.  Upon notice to the Holder of the Company’s conversion election as provided in Section 6(a), the Company shall, in accordance with Section 6(c), issue or cause to be transferred to the Holder (or to the Holder’s designee(s)) the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder or such designee(s) the certificates representing such shares of Common Stock.  All shares of Common Stock issued or delivered upon any conversion hereunder shall, when issued or delivered, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the applicable per share Conversion Price. Further, any accrued but unpaid Interest outstanding on the Conversion Date, unless converted into Common Stock at the Company’s option, shall be paid to the Holder in cash simultaneously with the delivery of certificates for Common Stock.
 
(c)         Issuance of Common Stock Upon Conversion.  Within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten (10) days after the Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered, to or upon the written order of the Holder of this Note so converted, certificates representing the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock into which this Note has been converted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.  If this Note has been converted in full, then, within a reasonable time, not exceeding ten (10) days after receipt by the Holder of such stock certificates, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company for cancellation.  Subject to the following provisions of this Section 6, such conversion shall be deemed to have occurred on the Conversion Date, so that the Holder of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of such shares of Common Stock at such time.
 
(d)         Taxes on Conversion.  The issuance of certificates for shares for Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge by the Company to the converting Holder for any tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates and such certificates shall be issued in the name of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holder of this Note; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
 
(e)         Common Stock Reserved.  The Company shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect conversion of this Note into Common Stock.

 
 
5

 

(f)          Restricted Securities.  The shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder hereunder (the “Shares”) may not, at the time of issuance, have been registered under any federal or state securities laws, and will thus constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of federal and state securities laws.  By its receipt of Shares, the Holder will be deemed to acknowledge and confirm that it is receiving such Shares for its own account for investment, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof in violation of any federal or state securities laws.
 
7.           Payment; Delivery.  Any check, draft, money order or other instrument given in payment of all or any portion hereof may be accepted by the Holder and handled in collection in the customary manner, but the same shall not constitute payment hereunder or diminish any rights of the Holder except to the extent that actual cash proceeds of such instrument are unconditionally received by the Holder.
 
8.           Compliance with Applicable Law
 
It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Company and Holder at all times to comply with the applicable law in connection with this Note.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the applicable usury ceiling.
 
9.           Severability
 
Whenever possible, each provision of this Note will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, such provision shall thereupon be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render same valid, or excised from this Note, as the situation may require, and this Note shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had been included herein as so modified in scope or application, or had not been included herein, as the case may be.
 
10.         Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial
 
 The provisions of this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions. The Company hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of all courts (state and federal) sitting in the State of New York in connection with any claim, action or proceeding relating to or for collection or enforcement of this Note, and hereby waives any defense of inconvenient forum or other such claim or defense in respect of the lodging of any such claim, action or proceeding in any such court. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR FOR THE COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE.

11.         Miscellaneous
 
No delay or failure by the Holder in exercising any right, power, privilege, or remedy shall be deemed to be a waiver of the same or any part thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any failure to exercise the same in any instance preclude any future exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy, and the rights and remedies provided for hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy available at law or in equity. Except in accordance with Paragraph 2 above or as otherwise permitted in writing by the Holder, the Company shall make all payments hereunder, whether in cash or stock pursuant to Paragraph 6 above, without deduction, whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount or otherwise.  Neither any provision of this Note nor any performance hereunder may be amended or waived except pursuant to an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is sought. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Note, the Company hereby waives diligence, demand, presentment for payment, protest, dishonor, nonpayment, default, and notice of any and all of the foregoing. All amounts payable hereunder shall be payable without relief under any applicable valuation and appraisement laws. The Company hereby expressly agrees that this Note, and/or any payment hereunder, may be extended, modified or subordinated (by forbearance or otherwise) from time to time, without in any way affecting the liability of the Company hereunder.
 
12.         Collection Costs
 
 In the event that the Holder shall, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, turn this Note over to an attorney for collection, the Company shall further be liable for and shall pay to the Holder all collection costs and expenses incurred by the Holder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses; and the Holder may take judgment for all such amounts in addition to all other sums payable hereunder.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
KIT digital Expands Leadership in Enterprise IP Video Management with Acquisitions of Nunet and The FeedRoom
 
Management to Host Press Conference Today at 15:30 CET at the MIPCOM Conference in Cannes, France, and Host Investor Conference Call on Tuesday, October 6 at 10:00 a.m. ET
 
PRAGUE, Czech Republic – October 5, 2009 KIT digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: KITD), a leading global provider of on-demand software solutions for managing and monetizing Internet Protocol (IP)-based video assets, has executed separate definitive agreements to acquire two of its leading competitors, Nunet AG of Cologne, Germany and The FeedRoom, Inc., based in New York City.
 
Nunet was acquired from IMG Worldwide, Inc. and is considered a premier global provider in the management and delivery of video on mobile devices, while The FeedRoom is a venture capital-backed, privately-held market leader in live video and digital asset management for corporations.
 
“Nunet and The FeedRoom complement and substantially expand our client base, core capabilities and our commitment to serving video to the ‘three screens’ of the mobile device, browser and television through an IP set-top-box,” said KIT digital’s chairman and CEO, Kaleil Isaza Tuzman. “We expect these acquisitions to be immediately accretive to our financial results and provide substantial synergies in terms of business development, platform technology, geographical footprint and overall growth potential.”
 
The acquisition of Nunet adds a number of major international clients to the KIT digital roster. A wide range of global mobile network operators use its MobileTV digital asset management system, including Mobilkom, Proximus, SFR, Vodacom and Vodafone Group. Nunet also works with major broadcasters and content producers like Discovery Channel, Eurosport International, Fashion TV, IMG Worldwide and MTV Networks.
 
The FeedRoom dramatically expands KIT digital’s presence in North America through the addition of more than 80 enterprise customers, including Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Bristol-Myers Squibb, BusinessWeek, General Motors, Herbalife, Hewlett Packard, Honeywell, Intel, Metlife and the U.S. Department of Defense.
 
The FeedRoom acquisition enhances KIT digital’s VX IP video management platform through the integration of key features of The FeedRoom’s ‘Studio’ software, including an advanced management, reporting, and analytics console. In turn, The FeedRoom clients will gain access to the advanced software features of VX, including delivery of IP video to mobile devices and IP-enabled TV set-top-boxes, as well as enhanced geographical targeting and search engine optimization tools.
 
“We see a great opportunity for cross-marketing Nunet’s MobileTV asset management capabilities as part of an expanded ‘VX2’ IP video management offering to our newly combined customer base,” notes Gavin Campion, president of KIT digital. “This customer base includes many brands which use IP video as part of their external marketing and merchandising programs, human resources function, corporate communications, and business operations — all ‘back-end’ corporate verticals we view as significant growth opportunities in the quarters and years ahead.”

 
 

 

Initially, the two acquisitions are expected to add $17.5 million of current, annualized revenues from core IP video-based services, and more than $4.5 million in annualized EBITDA to KIT digital. Over 75% of the newly acquired revenues are recurring and subject to long-term contracts. In January 2009, KIT digital’s management said they expected to generate at least $40 million in revenue with approximately 10% operating margin for the year. This guidance was reflective of KIT digital’s core business at the time and does not take into account the effect of the acquisitions of Nunet and The FeedRoom.
 
The acquisitions also involved the appointment of several Nunet and FeedRoom executives to KIT digital’s senior management team. Nunet has 56 employees, who will remain based in Cologne under the new ownership. Many of The FeedRoom’s 53 employees will join KIT digital’s operations in New York City, while The FeedRoom’s offices in Seattle and Boston will be added to the KIT digital network.
 
Isaza Tuzman added: “During our recent registered public stock offering and NASDAQ listing process we made it clear that the net proceeds of the offering would be used for accretive acquisitions that would expand our geographical and customer reach, and further establish our leadership position in IP video management for the enterprise. We fulfilled our promise by completing these acquisitions quickly and efficiently, and have already identified operational synergies, a combined leadership team, and immediate plans for platform technology integration. All of this forms the basis for strong growth, while delivering an enhanced IP video experience to our customers and their end-users.”
 
Aggregate Acquisition Terms
(All figures indicated in this release are in U.S. dollars. An exchange rate of 1.457 EUR/USD was used when converting from Euros.)
 
The aggregate consideration paid for Nunet and The FeedRoom was approximately $20.9 million (based on the closing market price of KIT digital common stock on Friday, October 2, 2009), of which $9.8 million was paid in stock, $7.9 million was paid in cash and $3.3 million of debt was assumed in the form of a convertible promissory note.
 
In total, KIT digital will issue 1,312,000 shares as a result of the two transactions, comprised of 948,636 shares issued for 100% of the outstanding shares of The FeedRoom, and 363,364 shares issued in exchange for $4.0 million of cash invested in KIT digital common stock by The FeedRoom’s controlling shareholders, at an implied price of $11 per share. All of the shares issued in connection with The FeedRoom transaction will be subject to an agreement restricting the sale of those shares for 18 months.
 
KIT digital chairman and CEO Kaleil Isaza Tuzman also agreed to an 18-month lock-up for 1,312,000 of his current beneficially owned shares in connection with The FeedRoom transaction, and acted as a personal financial guarantor to the convertible promissory note in the Nunet transaction.
 
Simultaneous with the acquisitions of Nunet and The FeedRoom, KIT digital reached separate agreements to extinguish all past and future contingent earn-out obligations related to the May 2008 acquisition of Kamera Content AB and the October 2008 acquisition of Visual Connection, a.s., comprising a total cash payment of $1.7 million and the issuance of 163,437 restricted shares to the former shareholders of Kamera and Visual Connection. Neither the Nunet nor The FeedRoom acquisitions involve any earn-out or contingent liabilities.
 
Following these acquisitions and the settlement of earn-out payments, management estimates that KIT digital will have approximately 10.3 million common shares outstanding and approximately $7.0 million of cash. This includes payment of all deal-related expenses and the incurrence of restructuring and severance charges related to the two acquisitions.

 
 

 

In light of these acquisitions expanding KIT digital’s global footprint, the company identified the need for an international auditing firm with local practice capabilities in all its core markets, and on October 2, 2009 it appointed Grant Thornton LLP as its new independent public auditor, replacing MSPC. The company also filed a Form S-3 shelf registration today to provide flexibility in future strategic development activity.
 
Robin Smyth, chief financial officer of KIT digital, commented, “In addition to completing the Nunet and FeedRoom acquisitions, we have used this post-funding and NASDAQ listing period to fulfill our promise to eliminate contingent earn-out liabilities and select an international auditing firm which can grow along with our global business. We have a strong balance sheet and highly capable administrative supports, providing us the foundation to take the company to the next level of growth.”
 
Nunet Acquisition Terms
KIT digital acquired Nunet from IMG Worldwide for approximately $11.1 million, comprised of $7.9 million in cash and $3.3 million in the assumption of a convertible promissory note issued by KIT digital. At the sole election of KIT digital, the promissory note may be converted into stock or paid in cash installments over 18 months starting in January 2010 at a 6.5% interest rate. Isaza Tuzman acted as a personal guarantor of the promissory note.
 
The acquisition of Nunet is expected to be immediately accretive based on an annualized recurring revenue stream of approximately $11.5 million and over $2.3 million of annualized EBITDA (prior to merger-related synergies).
 
As part of the acquisition, IMG Worldwide and KIT digital will enter into a long-term commercial contract, under which KIT digital will continue to provide IMG digital media services.
 
"Although IMG is focused on its core competencies and shedding assets that don't fit with our overall strategy, selling Nunet was a difficult decision,” said Carmi Zlotnik, head of IMG media operations. “We believe in the Nunet team and its future prospects, and are happy to have found a great home for Nunet with market leader KIT digital—and look forward to working with the merged entity in the future.”
 
“KIT digital’s global presence and commitment to enterprise IP video management made this acquisition superior in our view to other purchase offers and the previously considered management buy-out of Nunet,” said Arnd Froehlich, Nunet co-founder and CEO. “We are excited to be teaming up with the clear leader in the industry, and feel very confident about working together to serve our valued customers.”
 
Nunet has invested an estimated $22 million in its technology platform since its inception in 1997.
 
The FeedRoom Acquisition Terms
KIT digital acquired The FeedRoom for approximately 948,636 shares of KIT digital common stock, valued at approximately $9.8 million using the closing market price on Friday, October 2, 2009.
 
The FeedRoom’s annualized revenue is estimated at more than $6 million. The acquisition is cash-flow positive to KIT digital due to synergies in G&A expenses realized immediately prior to and upon closing, with projected annual EBITDA of more than $2.2 million.
 
As part of the transaction, The FeedRoom’s controlling shareholders — NewSpring Ventures, BEV Capital and Velocity Equity Partners — invested $4.0 million in KIT digital common shares, at a price of $11 per share, through the conversion of The FeedRoom Series F Preferred Shares purchased at closing.

 
 

 

“KIT digital and The FeedRoom share a common vision to be the provider of choice for the large corporate or government client employing IP video,” said Marc R. Lederman, general partner of NewSpring Capital and director of The FeedRoom. “From a strategic perspective, KIT digital’s coordinated acquisition of The FeedRoom and Nunet assets is a coup. This combination underscores the first truly global, ‘3-screen’ IP video platform company. We see significant upside for our investors as the KIT management team continues to execute on the strategy embarked upon when they took over the enterprise in January 2008, which led us to re-invest in the business at closing.”
 
The FeedRoom has invested an estimated $35 million in its technology platform since its inception in 1999.
 
Merriman Curhan Ford & Co. acted as strategic advisor to KIT digital on its acquisition of The FeedRoom.
