Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 8, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Rhombus Cinema Holdings, LP (formerly Rhombus Cinema Holdings, LLC), a Delaware limited partnership (“Purchaser”), Rhombus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser (“Merger Sub”), and RealD Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on March 22, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser.

 

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than certain excluded shares, was converted into the right to receive $11.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the Effective Time, unless otherwise agreed with the holder thereof, each stock option, restricted stock unit and performance-based stock unit (in each case, whether vested or unvested) that related to shares of Company common stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time vested, and was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, less any applicable tax withholdings, and, in the case of options, less the applicable exercise price.

 

The total amount of funds used to complete the Merger and related transactions and pay related fees and expenses was approximately $600 million, which was funded through a combination of equity and debt financing obtained by Purchaser, as contemplated in the Merger Agreement.

 

The description of the Merger Agreement set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 9, 2015.

 

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

 

On the Closing Date, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Merger had been completed and requested that trading of the Common Stock be delisted from the NYSE. The Company also requested that the NYSE file with the SEC a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with respect to the delisting of the Common Stock from the NYSE. The Company intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 to terminate or suspend its reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as promptly as practicable.

 

The information set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.01.

 

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

 

As set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, as of the Effective Time, each share of the Company’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than certain excluded shares, was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.  At the Effective Time, all holders of Common Stock (other than such excluded shares) ceased to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

 

The information set forth under Items 2.01, 3.01, and 5.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

 

Item 5.01. Change in Control of Registrant

 

As a result of the Merger, a change in control of the Company occurred, and the Company is now an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser.

 

The disclosure regarding the Merger and the Merger Agreement set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers.

 

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, all of the directors of the Company resigned from their positions as directors of the Company, as of the Effective Time. Also, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub were appointed the directors of the Company and the incumbent officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time were appointed as officers of the Company.

 

On the Closing Date, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Michael V. Lewis, pursuant to which Mr. Lewis will continue as the Company’s chief executive officer.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time and as a result of the Merger, (i) the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, was amended and restated in its entirety, and such amended and restated certificate of incorporation became the certificate of incorporation of the Company and (ii) the bylaws of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, were amended and restated in their entirety, and such amended and restated bylaws became the bylaws of the Company. A copy of such amended and restated certificate of incorporation and such amended and restated bylaws of the Company are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS

 

Section 1.        Right to Indemnification.

 

(a)        Each person who was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any actual, threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative or any predecessor of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that (i) he or she is or was a director or executive officer (as such term is defined in Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Act”)) of the Corporation or (ii) he or she is or was serving at the request of the Board of Directors or an executive officer (as such term is defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act) of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (each person referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii), hereinafter an “indemnitee”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, or by other applicable law as then in effect, against all expense, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith. The right to indemnification provided by this Article VIII shall apply whether or not the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as such director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as such director, officer, employee or agent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1 of Article VIII to the contrary, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article VIII with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Corporation.

 

15



 

(b)        Each person who was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any actual, threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative or any predecessor of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that (i) he or she is or was a non-executive officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or (ii) he or she is or was serving at the request of the Board of Directors or an executive officer (as such term is defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act) of the Corporation as an officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, may be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, or by other applicable law as then in effect, against all expense, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith.

 

Section 2.     Advancement of Expenses.

 

The right to indemnification conferred in Section 1 under this Article VIII, shall include the right to have the expenses incurred in defending or preparing for any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”) paid by the Corporation; provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is to be rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking containing such terms and conditions, including the requirement of security, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article VIII or otherwise. The

 

16



 

Corporation shall not be obligated to advance fees and expenses to an employee or agent in connection with a proceeding instituted by the Corporation against such person.

 

Section 3.        Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit.

 

If a claim under Section 1 or Section 2 under this Article VIII is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses under Section 2 of this Article VIII, in which case the applicable period shall be 30 calendar days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If the indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification

 

17



 

or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this ARTICLE VIII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

 

Section 4.        Nonexclusivity Rights.

 

(i)      The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provisions of the certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

(ii)     The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any past or present director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL. The Corporation may enter into contracts with any indemnitee in furtherance of the provisions of this Article VIII and may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided in this Article VIII.

(iii)    The Corporation may without reference to Sections 1 through 4(i) of this Article VIII and (ii) hereof, pay the expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation who is subpoenaed, interviewed or deposed as a witness or otherwise incurs expenses in connection with any civil, arbitration, criminal or administrative proceeding or governmental or internal investigation to which the Corporation is a party, target, or potentially a party or target, or of any such individual who appears as a witness at any trial, proceeding or hearing to which the Corporation is a party, if the Corporation determines that such payments will benefit the Corporation and if, at the time such

 

18



 

expenses are incurred by such individual and paid by the Corporation, such individual is not a party, and is not threatened to be made a party, to such proceeding or investigation.

 

Section 5.        Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation.

 

The Corporation may grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, authorize one or more officers to grant rights for indemnification or the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation on such terms and conditions as such officers deem appropriate.

 

Section 6.        Nature of Rights.

 

The rights conferred upon indernnitees in this Article VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer or trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VIII that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

 

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS

 

Section 1.        Amendments. These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new Bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors, provided, however, that notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new Bylaws be contained in the notice of such meeting of stockholders or Board of Directors as the case may be. All such amendments must be approved by either the holders of a majority of
