Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 4, 2023, Cinedigm Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Christopher J. McGurk, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Chair of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell one share of the Company’s newly designated Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred”), to the Purchaser for a purchase price of $10,000. The closing of the sale and purchase of the share of Series B Preferred was consummated on April 4, 2023.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed to cast the votes represented by the share of Series B Preferred Stock as set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designations (as defined in Item 5.03 below).
Additional information regarding the voting requirements, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to the Series B Preferred is set forth under Item 5.03 of this report.
The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
Item 3.02 |
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
The disclosure included in Item 1.01 of this report is incorporated under this Item by reference. The sale of the share of Series B Preferred was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 3.03 |
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. |
The disclosure included in Item 5.03 of this report is incorporated under this Item by reference. Prior to the issuance of the Series B Preferred, stockholder approval of any Reverse Stock Split Proposal (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation) required the affirmative approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Following the issuance of the Series B Preferred, stockholder approval of a Reverse Stock Split proposal requires affirmative approval from a majority of the voting power of the shares of Common Stock and the share of Series B Preferred, voting together as a single class. In the event of any Reverse Stock Split Proposal, the Purchaser will cast the votes represented by the share of Series B Preferred in a manner that mirrors the votes cast by holders of Common Stock on such proposal. Prior to the issuance of the share of Series B Preferred, abstentions and any other non-votes would have had the same effect as a vote against a Reverse Stock Split Proposal. Following the issuance of the share of Series B Preferred, abstentions and any other non-votes on a Reverse Stock Split Proposal will still technically have the same effect as a vote against such proposal, but because the share of Series B Preferred has a high number of votes and will vote in a manner that mirrors votes actually cast by the holders of Common Stock (which does not include abstentions or any other non-votes), abstentions and any other non-votes will have virtually no effect on the outcome of a Reverse Stock Split Proposal.
Item 5.03 |
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On April 3, 2023, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Series B Certificate of Designation designates one share of the Company’s Preferred Stock as Series B Preferred, and establishes and designates the preferences, rights and limitations thereof. Pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation:
Convertibility. The share of Series B Preferred is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company.
Dividends. The share of Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive dividends on a pari passu basis with the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Voting. The share of Series B Preferred will have 1,800,000,000 votes, but has the right to vote only on any Reverse Stock Split Proposal, and, only if the votes represented by the Series B Preferred are cast for and
against the Reverse Stock Split Proposal in the same proportion as the votes cast for and against such Reverse Stock Split Proposal by shares of Common Stock who actually vote on such proposal (with any shares of Common Stock that are not voted, whether due to failure to vote, abstentions, broker non-votes are otherwise, not counted as votes cast by holders of Common Stock on such proposal). The share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights with respect to a Reverse Stock Split Proposal unless the holders of one-third of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are present, in person or represented by proxy, at the meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is submitted for stockholder approval (or any adjournment thereof). The share of Series B Preferred will vote together with the Common Stock as a single class on any Reverse Stock Split Proposal. The Series B Preferred has no right to vote on any other matter, except as may be required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
Rank; Liquidation. Upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up of the Company pursuant to which assets of the Company or consideration received by the Company are to be distributed to the stockholders, the holder of Series B Preferred will be entitled to receive, before any payment is made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to $10,000.
Transfer Restrictions. The Series B Preferred may not be transferred at any time prior to stockholder approval of a Reverse Stock Split Proposal without the prior written consent of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Redemption. The outstanding share of Series B Preferred will be redeemed for a redemption price of $10,000, payable out of funds lawfully available therefor, (i) if such redemption is ordered by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or (ii) automatically immediately following the approval by the stockholders of a Reverse Stock Split Proposal. Upon such redemption, the share of Series B Preferred shall be automatically retired and restored to the status of an authorized but unissued share of the Company’s Preferred Stock.
The foregoing is only a summary of the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Series B Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report.

Cinedigm Corp.
Certificate of DESIGNATION
of
preferences, rights and limitations of
series b preferred stock
Pursuant to Section 151 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
The Undersigned Does Hereby Certify, on behalf of Cinedigm Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), that the following resolution was duly adopted by the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”), in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), on April 1, 2023, which resolution provides for the creation of a series of the Corporation’s Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, which is designated as “Series B Preferred Stock,” with the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth therein.
Whereas, the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) provides for a class of capital stock of the Corporation known as Preferred Stock, consisting of 15,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), issuable from time to time in one or more series, and further provides that the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to fix all of the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Preferred Stock permitted by the DGCL and to divide the Preferred Stock into one or more class and/or classes and designate all of the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of each class permitted by the DGCL.
Resolved, that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation, (i) a series of Preferred Stock designated Series B Preferred Stock be, and hereby is, designated and created, and (ii) the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof of the Series B Preferred Stock are as follows:
TERMS OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK
1. Designation and Number. The series of Preferred Stock created hereby shall be designated as the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), and the number of shares so designated shall be one. The share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be uncertificated and represented in book-entry form.
2. Dividends. The share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on a pari passu basis with the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation.
3. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or as required by law, the holder of the share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:
3.1. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, the outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have 1,800,000,000 votes on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal (as defined below) but shall have no voting rights with respect to any other matter. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, the outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together with the outstanding shares of Common Stock as a single class exclusively with respect to a Reverse Stock Split Proposal until such time as, following the filing of this Certificate of Designation, a Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by the stockholders of the Corporation, and shall not be entitled to vote on any other matter except to the extent required under the DGCL. As used herein, the term “Reverse Stock Split Proposal” means any proposal approved by the Board of Directors and submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation to adopt an amendment, or a series of alternate amendments, to the Certificate of Incorporation to combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock at a ratio specified in or determined in accordance with the terms of such amendment or series of alternate amendments.
3.2. The share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights except with respect to a Reverse Stock Split Proposal in which its votes are cast for and against the Reverse Stock Split Proposal in the same proportions as the shares of Common Stock voting on such Reverse Stock Split Proposal vote for and against such Reverse Stock Split Proposal (not treating any shares of Common Stock that are not voted on such Reverse Stock Split Proposal, whether due to abstentions, broker non-votes are otherwise, as votes against such Revere Stock Split Proposal).
3.3. The share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights with respect to a Reverse Stock Split Proposal unless the holders of one third (1/3) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are present, in person (including by remote communication, if applicable) or represented by proxy, at the meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation at which the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is submitted for stockholder approval (or any adjournment thereof).
4. Rank; Liquidation and Other. Upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, pursuant to which assets of the Corporation or consideration received by the Corporation are to be distributed to the stockholders, the holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, before any payment is made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount of $10,000.
5. Transfer. The Series B Preferred Stock may not be Transferred at any time prior to stockholder approval of a Reverse Stock Split Proposal without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors. “Transferred” means, directly or indirectly, whether by merger, consolidation, share exchange, division, or otherwise, the sale, transfer, gift, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of the share of Series B Preferred Stock (or any right, title or interest thereto or therein) or any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) to take any of the foregoing actions.
6. Redemption.
6.1. The outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed in whole, but not in part, out of funds lawfully available therefor, (i) at any time if such redemption is ordered by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, automatically and effective on such time and date specified by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or (ii) automatically immediately following the approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of a Reverse Stock Split Proposal (any such redemption pursuant to this Section 6.1, the “Redemption”). As used herein, the “Redemption Time” shall mean the effective time of the Redemption.
6.2. The share of Series B Preferred Stock redeemed in the Redemption pursuant to this Section 6 shall be redeemed in consideration for the right to receive an amount equal to $10,000 in cash (the “Redemption Price”) for the share of Series B Preferred Stock that is owned of record as of immediately prior to the applicable Redemption Time and redeemed pursuant to the Redemption, payable upon the applicable Redemption Time.
6.3. From and after the time at which the share of Series B Preferred Stock is called for Redemption (whether automatically or otherwise) in accordance with Section 6.1, such share of Series B Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, and the only right of the former holder of such share of Series B Preferred Stock, as such, will be to receive the applicable Redemption Price. The share of Series B Preferred Stock Redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to this Certificate of Designation shall be automatically retired and restored to the status of an authorized but unissued share of Preferred Stock, upon such Redemption. Notice of a meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders for the submission to such stockholders of any proposal to approve a Reverse Stock Split Proposal shall constitute notice of the Redemption of the share of Series B Preferred Stock at the Redemption Time pursuant to Section 6.1(ii) hereof. In connection with the filing of this Certificate of Designation, the Corporation has set apart funds for payment for the Redemption of the share of Series B Preferred Stock and shall continue to keep such funds apart for such payment through the payment of the purchase price for the Redemption of such share.
7. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision hereof shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or otherwise adversely affecting the remaining provisions hereof.
