EXPLANATORY NOTE
DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-194988) (the “Registration Statement”) of Kitara Media Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 2, 2014. The Registration Statement registered the following: 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan and 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan.
On January 28, 2015, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by (i) the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 10, 2014, by and among the Company, Kitara Holdco Corp. (now known as Propel Media, Inc.) (“Holdco”), which was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Kitara Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), which was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco, and (ii) the Unit Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated as of October 10, 2014 and amended as of December 23, 2014, by and among the Company, Holdco, Future Ads LLC (“Future Ads”) and the former members of Future Ads (the “Members”).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco. In the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock was converted into one share of Holdco common stock. Immediately following the Merger and as part of a single integrated transaction, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Members exchanged all of the outstanding Future Ads limited liability company interests for cash, shares of Holdco common stock and the right to receive certain additional payments (the “Exchange”). Upon the closing of the Merger and Exchange, Holdco became the new public company and the Company and Future Ads became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Holdco.
As a result of the Merger and Exchange, the offering pursuant to the Registration Statement has been terminated. The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and remove from registration any and all securities of the Company previously registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the effective time of the Merger (the “Plan Shares”), in accordance with the undertakings made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The Plan Shares are hereby deregistered.
