Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement


Roche Enterprises Convertible Note Financing


rVue Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) has completed the sale of shares of common stock to Acorn Composite Corp., now known as Roche Enterprises, Ltd. (“Roche Enterprises”), an affiliate of director Robert Roche, under the Subscription Agreement described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 27, 2016 (the “Subscription Agreement”).  The sales resulted in the issuance to Roche Enterprises of 97,069,017 shares of common stock, in return for aggregate consideration of $1,233,913.04.  Since its entry into the Subscription Agreement, the Company has continued an intensive search for additional financing, but to date the Company has been unable to secure such financing on acceptable terms.


On October 11, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), the Company executed documentation with Roche Enterprises pursuant to which Roche Enterprises has agreed to provide the Company with short-term bridge financing in the form of a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Roche Note”) in the principal amount of $201,000 as the Company seeks additional financing.  The Roche Note matures on December 1, 2016 and carries an interest rate of 10% per annum. Roche Enterprises may elect, in its sole discretion, to extend the maturity date up to an additional three (3) months to March 1, 2017, in which case the Company must pay a loan extension fee of 2.5% of the then-total outstanding balance (including principal and all accrued fees and interest).


The net proceeds to the Company from the Roche Note were $194,970, consisting of gross proceeds of $201,000, less $6,030 representing a loan processing fee of 3% of the principal amount.  The entire outstanding balance of the Roche Note is due and payable at maturity.  The Company does not have the right to prepay the Roche Note.


At any time after the Closing Date, Roche Enterprises may convert the outstanding balance of the Roche Note, or any installment or portion thereof, into equity securities of the Company.  Generally, the conversion price will be equal to eighty percent (80%) of $0.018, which is the conversion price actually paid by Carebourn Capital, L.P. upon conversion of its former convertible promissory note into shares of the Company’s common stock.  However, the securities to be issued by the Company upon a conversion shall include an initial liquidation preference, prior and in preference to any distributions to any holder of any other equity securities of the Company, of two and one half (2.5) times the aggregate principal amount of the Roche Note and shall participate with all other holders of Company equity securities thereafter.  As of the date of this report, the Company does not have any such equity securities authorized for issuance.


In the event of a default, the Roche Note may be accelerated by Roche Enterprises. The outstanding balance (including any accrued interest and fees) would be immediately due and payable and Roche Enterprises may exercise any or all of its rights, powers or remedies under the Pledge Agreement.  In addition, the Company shall pay a one-time penalty charge of 10% on the defaulted amount, plus additional interest on the defaulted amount and the penalty charge at the rate of 15% per annum, compounded monthly, from the date of default until the default and penalty amounts are paid in full, plus reimbursement to Roche Enterprises for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs of collections (including reasonable fees of its counsel).


The Company’s obligations under the Roche Note are secured by a pledge by the Company to Roche Enterprises of all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of a Pledge Agreement by and between the Company and Roche Enterprises dated as of October 11, 2016 (the “Roche Pledge Agreement”).


Mr. Roche recused himself from the Board’s consideration and approval of the Roche Note and the Roche Pledge Agreement.


The foregoing descriptions of the Roche Note and the Roche Pledge Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the text of such documents, which are annexed to this Current Report as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2.

The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference herein.


Item 3.02

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities


The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference herein.  The Roche Note was issued by the Company under the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as the securities were issued to an accredited investor, without a view to distribution, and were not issued through any general solicitation or advertisement.

Other Events

Upon such filing, the Company’s obligation to file certain reports with the SEC, including annual, quarterly and Current Reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, respectively, will be immediately suspended.


A press release making this announcement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

The payment of interest hereunder shall be made in United States dollars on the Maturity Date, unless otherwise provided herein.


6.

Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Noteholder on the date hereof as follows:


6.1

Existence; Compliance with Laws. The Borrower is (a) a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has the requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted, and (b) in compliance with all Laws and Orders except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Power and Authority. The Borrower has the power and authority, and the legal right, to execute and deliver this Note and the Pledge Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.


6.3

Enforceability.

6.4

Ranking. As of the date hereof, the Borrower has not permitted to exist or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to, any Indebtedness that ranks senior to the Loan. As of the date hereof, the Borrower has not permitted to exist any security interest which is senior to the security interest granted to Noteholder with respect to the Collateral.


6.5

Compliance with Other Instruments. Neither the authorization, execution, issuance and delivery of this Note will constitute or result in a material default or violation of any law or regulation applicable to the Company or any material term or provision of the Company’s current Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws or any material agreement or instrument by which it is bound or to which its properties or assets are subject.


6.6

Valid Issuance of Equity Securities. The equity securities to be issued, sold and delivered upon conversion of the Notes will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.


7.

Affirmative Covenants. Until all amounts outstanding in this Note have been repaid or converted in full, the Borrower shall:


7.1

Financial Reporting. Deliver to the Noteholder as soon as available, but in any event within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower (commencing with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016), a consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal quarter, and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for such fiscal quarter;


7.2

Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of the Loan received by Borrower from the Noteholder for general working capital and operating capital purposes.


7.3

Filing. Cooperate with the Noteholder to prepare and file any financing statement and notices of interest necessary or desirable to perfect the Noteholder’s security interest in the Collateral, and any continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office.

7.5

No Other Senior Indebtedness. Not incur any Indebtedness, directly or indirectly, that ranks pari passu with or senior to the Loan, without prior written consent from the Noteholder.

In addition to any other amounts due hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay a one-time charge of ten percent (10%) on the default amount, plus additional interest on the default amount and the penalty above at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, compounded monthly, from the date of default until said default and penalty amounts are paid in full, plus the reimbursement to the Noteholder for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs of collections (including reasonable fees of its counsel).

11.

Extension Fee. If the Loan has not been repaid in full or otherwise converted in accordance with Section 3 of this Note on the initial Maturity Date, the Noteholder may, in its sole and arbitrary discretion, extend such Maturity Date up to three (3) months, in which case the Borrower shall pay to the Noteholder a loan extension fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the then total outstanding amount (including the principal and all accrued fees and interest).

Further Assurances.


(a)

(b)

The Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Pledgor, the Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, obtain such agreements from third parties, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder, under the Note, or under any other agreement related to any Collateral.

Exhibit 99.1


rVue, Inc. Announces Intention to Voluntarily Deregister as a Reporting Company with the SEC


Chicago, IL – (Marketwired October 18, 2016) -- rVue Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: RVUE), a premier advertising technology platform for digital location video, announced that the Company intends to voluntarily deregister as a reporting company with the SEC.  


Over the past several years, rVue has consistently reviewed various ways to both reduce and retain costs as it builds revenue.  Over the past several months, the Company has been engaged in a study of the benefits and costs associated with being publicly traded.  The decision of the Company’s Board of Directors to deregister the Company’s common stock was based on the consideration of several factors including the significant cost to the Company of filing periodic reports with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the cost of complying with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in relationship with revenue.


“Given the size of rVue, low market capitalization, and the fact that its stock is thinly-traded, the Board has unanimously determined that the financial burden of continuing as a reporting company is disproportionate to any benefits of maintaining the registered status of the Company’s shares,” said Mark Pacchini, President and CEO.  “In addition, this will allow management to focus more on sales activities that will enhance the Company’s revenue stream.”


Therefore, the Company today announced that it plans to voluntarily withdraw its common stock from registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), on or about November 9, 2016, thus terminating the Company’s status as a public reporting company and suspending its obligation to file periodic reports, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K with the SEC.


The Company’s periodic reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended prior to November 14, 2016 (the date the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 would have otherwise been due.)


Additional information can be found on the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC today.
