Item 1.01               Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

 

On June 4, 2010, Platinum Studios, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Investment Agreement (“Investment Agreement”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund, II, LP (the “Investor”).  Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Investor committed to purchase up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock over thirty-six months (the “Equity Line”).

 

The aggregate number of shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by Dutchess under the Investment Agreement is 100,000,000.

 

The Company may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when the Company determines appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. The maximum amount that the Company is entitled to put in any one notice is the greater of (i) 200% of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the common stock for the three (3) trading days prior to the date of delivery of the applicable put notice, multiplied by the average of the closing prices for such trading days or (ii) $100,000. The purchase price shall be set at ninety-five percent (95%) of the VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the Pricing Period. However, if, on any trading day during a Pricing Period, the daily VWAP of the common stock is lower than the floor price specified by the Company in the put notice, then the Company reserves the right, but not the obligation, to withdraw that portion of the put amount for each such trading day during the Pricing Period, with only the balance of such put amount above the minimum acceptable price being put to Dutchess. There are put restrictions applied on days between the put notice date and the closing date with respect to that particular put. During such time, the Company not entitled to deliver another put notice.

 

There are circumstances under which the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess, including the following:

 

• the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of the shares by Dutchess;

 

• the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess unless its common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or becomes listed on a national securities exchange;

 

• the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess to the extent that such shares would cause Dutchess's beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99% of our outstanding shares; and

 

• the Company will not be entitled to put shares to Dutchess prior to the closing date of the preceding put.

 

The Investment Agreement further provides that the Company and Dutchess are each entitled to customary indemnification from the other for any losses or liabilities we or it suffers as a result of any breach by the other of any provisions of the Investment Agreement or our registration rights agreement with Dutchess, or as a result of any lawsuit brought by a third-party arising out of or resulting from the other party's execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Investment Agreement or the registration rights agreement.

 

The Investment Agreement also contains representations and warranties of each of the parties. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Investment Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Investment Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a stockholder or investor might view as material, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts.

 


 

 

In connection with the preparation of the Investment Agreement and the registration rights agreement, the Company paid Dutchess a document preparation fee in the amount of $10,000, and issued Dutchess no shares of common stock.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated June 4, 2010, between Dutchess and us, the Company is obligated to file one or more registration statements with the SEC to register the resale by Dutchess of shares of common stock issued or issuable under the Investment Agreement. The Company must file with the SEC an initial registration statement on Form S-1 in order to access the credit line, covering the resale of  the 41,000,000 shares of common stock which is equal to one-third (1/3) of the Company’s current public float (where "public float" shall be derived by subtracting the number of shares of common stock held by our officers, directors and "affiliates" (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(1) of the 1933 Act) from the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding). After the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the time that Dutchess shall have resold substantially all of the shares registered for resale under the initial registration statement, or (ii) six (6) months after the effective date of the initial registration statement, the Company is obligated to register for resale another portion of the credit line amount, utilizing available equity equal to one-third (1/3) of our then outstanding public float. This registration process will continue until such time as all of the dollar amounts available under the credit line, using  shares of common stock issuable under the Investment Agreement, have been registered for resale on effective registration statements. In no event will we be obligated to register for resale more than $5,000,000 in value of shares of common stock, or 100,000,000 shares.
