Item 1.01                 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 30, 2010, NextWave Wireless Inc. (the “Company”), NextWave Broadband Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“NWBB”) and PacketVideo Corporation, a majority-owned subsidiary of NWBB (“PacketVideo”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with NTT DOCOMO, INC. (“DOCOMO”) pursuant to which NWBB agreed to sell to DOCOMO all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of PacketVideo held by NWBB, representing 65% of the issued and outstanding common stock of PacketVideo, for an aggregate purchase price of $111.6 million (the “Transaction”). The Company expects to apply the proceeds of the Transaction, net of transaction expenses, to retire approximately $95 million of First Lien Notes pursuant to its secured note agreements, and expects to retain approximately $12.5 million to fund its working capital needs.

DOCOMO acquired 35% of the issued and outstanding common stock of PacketVideo in July 2009. In connection with the July 2009 transaction, the Company, NWBB, PacketVideo and DOCOMO entered into a Stockholders’ Agreement dated July 2, 2009, pursuant to which, among other things, DOCOMO was granted the right to purchase (the “Option”) all of the remaining shares of common stock of PacketVideo held by NWBB (the “Shares”), subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions and in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement.  As previously disclosed by the Company, DOCOMO expressed its intent to exercise the Option and in connection therewith, the Company and DOCOMO followed the valuation procedures set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement to agree upon the price for the Shares in connection with DOCOMO’s exercise of the Option.
 
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company, NWBB and PacketVideo are making customary representations to DOCOMO relating to PacketVideo and the ownership of the Shares. Such representations and warranties will survive for 8 months following the closing date and be subject to indemnification pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, subject to a cap of $8 million with certain exceptions.

The Stock Purchase Agreement also includes covenants by the Company, NWBB and PacketVideo, including, among others, covenants (1) to carry on PacketVideo’s business in the ordinary course during the pre-closing period, (2) for PacketVideo not to engage in certain specified transactions or activities during the pre-closing period, and (3) for the Company to file a proxy statement and cause a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held regarding the adoption and approval of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Transaction.

The closing of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of closing conditions, including, among others, (1) adoption and approval of the Stock Purchase Agreement by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, (2) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (3) the absence of any legal prohibitions on the closing of the Transaction, (4) subject to certain exceptions, the continued accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Transaction, (5) the termination of the July 2009 Stockholders’ Agreement and modification of the Registration Rights Agreement dated July 2, 2009 among PacketVideo, NWBB and DOCOMO to remove NWBB as a party, and (6) the resignation of James C. Brailean, Ph.D., the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and President, from the Company’s Board of Directors and from his positions as an officer and employee of the Company.

The Stock Purchase Agreement also includes provisions enabling the Company and/or DOCOMO to terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement in certain specified circumstances, including, among others, (1) by mutual written consent of the Company and DOCOMO, (2) by either the Company or DOCOMO if there has been a material breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the other party that has not been cured within 20 days of receipt of notice regarding such material breach, inaccuracy or failure, (3) by either the Company or DOCOMO if any of the conditions to the other party’s obligations to close the Transaction have not been met or it becomes apparent will not be met by a specified end date, (4) by either the Company or DOCOMO, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement, if any law makes consummation of the Transaction illegal or otherwise prohibited or if any governmental authority issues an order restraining or enjoining the Transaction, and (5) by either the Company or DOCOMO if the adoption and approval of the Stock Purchase Agreement by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock is not obtained.  Following a termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company and

 
2

 

NWBB may be required to reimburse up to $700,000 of the aggregate expenses of DOCOMO under specified circumstances.

The Company and NWBB have also agreed not to compete with PacketVideo’s business, solicit its employees, or induce its customers to terminate or modify their relationship with PacketVideo, subject to limited exceptions, for a period of two years following the closing date.
 
On August 1, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the Transaction and its entry into the Stock Purchase Agreement.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. On August 1, 2010, PacketVideo issued a press release announcing the Transaction.  A copy of the PacketVideo press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.

The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

DOCOMO to Acquire Shares in PacketVideo from NextWave Wireless
 
SAN DIEGO – August 1, 2010 – PacketVideo Corporation, a pioneer in multimedia services, today announced that NTT DOCOMO, INC. (TSE:9437; LSE: NDCM; NYSE:DCM), one of the world’s largest and most advanced mobile operators, will acquire the remaining shares of PacketVideo held by NextWave Wireless Inc. (OTCQB: WAVE).
 
The transaction follows DOCOMO’s acquisition of 35 percent of PacketVideo in July 2009. Under the terms of the agreement, DOCOMO will acquire NextWave’s remaining interest in PacketVideo for $111.6 million (USD). PacketVideo will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTT DOCOMO and will operate as an autonomous operation with its own board of directors under the leadership of founder and longtime President and CEO, Dr. James Brailean. PacketVideo will continue to support all of its worldwide customers, with the majority of its business coming from outside of Japan.
 
“DOCOMO has been a strong partner and customer of PacketVideo since the very beginning of the company,” said Brailean. “We are pleased that DOCOMO, which is known throughout the world for innovation, has provided such a strong endorsement of our products, our strategy and our technology. PacketVideo sits at the center of the media convergence revolution, and we plan to use this transaction to further accelerate our business.”
 
“We are delighted to have the opportunity to extend our longstanding partnership with PacketVideo,” said Kiyohito Nagata, Senior Vice President, NTT DOCOMO. “We have enjoyed a productive partnership since 1998, with the company’s industry-leading multimedia software solutions shipping in more than 100 DOCOMO handset models. Our strategic relationship with PacketVideo further strengthens DOCOMO’s position in music and video services in Japan, including the creation of an all-new domain of services that allow users to easily link their mobile handsets with home electronic devices to enjoy and share content.”
