EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

FaceBank Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “FaceBank”) is filing this quarterly report on Form 10-Q after the May 15, 2020 deadline (the “Original Due Date”) applicable for the filing of a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”) in reliance on the 45-day extension provided by an order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”) under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions From Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act of 1934 and Certain Rules Thereunder dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318), as modified and superseded by a new Commission order issued on March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (collectively, the “Order”).

 

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 15, 2020, the Company was unable to file this Quarterly Report within the prescribed time period due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the pandemic, management’s full efforts have been focused on operating its business and evaluating available funding. The Company has been following the recommendations of local health authorities in the U.S. and Europe, where one of its operating subsidiaries is located, to minimize exposure risk for its employees, including temporarily closing its offices and requiring its employees to work remotely to the extent possible. As a result, the Company’s books and records were not easily accessible, resulting in delays in preparation and completion of its financial statements. Further, the various governmental mandatory closures of businesses have precluded the Company’s personnel, particularly its senior accounting staff, from obtaining access to its European subsidiaries’ books and records necessary to prepare the Company’s financial statements that, once audited, comprise the essence of the Quarterly Report.

 

These unforeseen circumstances resulted in the Company being unable to file its Quarterly Report during the prescribed period without undue hardship and expense to the Company. As such, the Company is filing this Quarterly Report within 45 days of the Original Due Date in reliance on the Order.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

As used in this Quarterly Report, unless expressly indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “FaceBank,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” and similar references refer to FaceBank Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including fuboTV Inc., or fuboTV.

 

This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “design,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “would,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” or the negative version of these words and other comparable terminology that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, intentions, or projections. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

  ● market conditions and global economic factors beyond our control, including the potential adverse effects of the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, on live sports and entertainment, and on the global economic environment;
     
  ● our ability to access debt and equity financing;
     
  ● our efforts to maintain proper and effective internal controls;
     
  ● factors relating to our business, operations and financial performance, including:
     
    ○ our ability to effectively compete in the live TV streaming and entertainment industries;
       
    ○ our ability to successfully integrate new operations;
       
    ○ our ability to maintain and expand our content offerings;
       
    ○ our ability to recognize deferred tax assets and tax loss carryforwards;
       
  ● the impact of management changes and organizational restructuring;
     
  ● our ability to uplist the combined company to a national stock exchange;
     
  ● the anticipated effects of the Merger (as hereinafter defined);
     
  ● changes in applicable laws or regulations;
     
  ● litigation and our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights;
     
  ● our success in retaining or recruiting officers, key employees or directors; and
     
  ● the possibility that we may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors.

 

We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act. These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Quarterly Report include additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

 

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

 

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report do not reflect the potential impact of any divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations that had not been completed as of July 6, 2020. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. You should read this Quarterly Report in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

 

Incorporation

 

FaceBank Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “FaceBank”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in February 2009 under the name York Entertainment, Inc. On September 30, 2019, the Company’s name was changed to FaceBank Group, Inc.

 

Merger with fuboTV Inc.

 

On April 1, 2020, fuboTV Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) merged with and into fuboTV Inc., a Delaware corporation (“fuboTV”), whereby fuboTV continued as the surviving corporation and became our wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of March 19, 2020, by and among us, Merger Sub and fuboTV (the “Merger Agreement” and such transaction, the “Merger”) (See Note 15).

 

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all of the capital stock of fuboTV was converted into the right to receive shares of our newly-created class of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series AA Preferred Stock”) (See Note 12). Each share of Series AA Preferred Stock is entitled to 0.8 votes per share and is convertible into two (2) shares of our common stock, only in connection with a bona fide transfer to a third party pursuant to Rule 144. Until the time we are able to uplist to a national securities exchange, the Series AA Preferred Stock benefits from certain protective provisions that, for example, require us to obtain the approval of a majority of the shares of outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, before undertaking certain matters.

 

As a result of the Merger, fuboTV, a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news, and entertainment, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Before the Merger, Facebank Group was and continues to be a character-based virtual entertainment company, and a leading developer of digital human likeness for celebrities and consumers, focused on applications in traditional entertainment, sports entertainment, live events, social networking, mixed reality (AR/VR) and artificial intelligence. Following the Merger, we operate our business under the name “fuboTV” and we are in the process of changing the name of FaceBank Group, Inc. to fuboTV, Inc. On May 1, 2020, the Company’s trading symbol was changed to “FUBO”. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refers to FaceBank and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, and fuboTV Pre-Merger refers to fuboTV Inc. prior to the Merger.

 

In connection with the Merger, on March 11, 2020, FaceBank and HLEE Finance S.a r.l. (“HLEE”) entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2020, pursuant to which HLEE provided FaceBank with a $100,000,000 revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all the assets of FaceBank. As of July 6, 2020, there are no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, and the Company does not intend to draw down on this Credit Facility. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the Credit Facility.

 

On March 19, 2020, FaceBank, Merger Sub, Evolution AI Corporation (“EAI”) and Pulse Evolution Corporation (“PEC” and collectively with EAI, Merger Sub and FaceBank, the “Initial Borrower”) and FB Loan Series I, LLC (“FB Loan”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Initial Borrower sold to FB Loan senior secured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $10,050,000 (the “Senior Notes”). The Company received proceeds of $7.4 million, net of an original issue discount of $2.65 million. In connection with the FB Loan, FaceBank, fuboTV and certain of their respective subsidiaries granted a lien on substantially of their assets to secure the obligations under the Senior Notes. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

Prior to the Merger, fuboTV Pre-Merger and its subsidiaries were party to a Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2018 (the “AMC Agreement”), with AMC Networks Ventures LLC as lender, administrative agent and collateral agent (“AMC Networks Ventures”). fuboTV Pre-Merger previously granted AMC Networks Ventures a lien on substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations thereunder. The AMC Agreement survived the Merger and, as of the Effective Time, there was $24.9 million outstanding under the AMC Agreement, net of debt issuance costs. In connection with the Merger, FaceBank guaranteed the obligations of fuboTV under the AMC Agreement on an unsecured basis. The liens of AMC Networks Ventures on the assets of fuboTV are senior to the liens in favor of FB Loan and FaceBank securing the Senior Notes.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company is a leading digital entertainment company, combining fuboTV Pre-Merger’s direct-to-consumer live TV streaming, or vMVPD, platform with FaceBank Pre-Merger’s technology-driven IP in sports, movies and live performances. We expect that this business combination will create a content delivery platform for traditional and future-form IP. We plan to leverage FaceBank’ IP sharing relationships with leading celebrities and other digital technologies to enhance its already robust sports and entertainment offerings.

 

Since the Merger, while we continue our previous business operations, we are principally focused on offering consumers a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news and entertainment through fuboTV. fuboTV revenues are almost entirely derived from the sale of subscription services and advertising in the United States, though fuboTV has started to assess expansion opportunities into international markets, with operations in Canada and the launch in late 2018 of its first ex-North America offering of streaming entertainment, to consumers in Spain.

 

Our subscription-based services are offered to consumers who can sign-up for accounts at https://fubo.tv, through which we provide basic plans with the flexibility for consumers to purchase the add-ons and features best suited for them. Besides the website, consumers can also sign-up via some TV-connected devices. The fuboTV platform provides, what we believe to be, a superior viewer experience, with a broad suite of unique features and personalization tools such as multi-channel viewing capabilities, favorites lists and a dynamic recommendation engine as well as 4K streaming and Cloud DVR offerings.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 2 – Liquidity, Going Concern and Management Plans

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company had cash of $0.1 million, a working capital deficiency of $31.4 million and an accumulated deficit of $140.1 million at March 31, 2020 and fuboTV had net loss of $173.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company expects to continue incurring losses in the foreseeable future and will need to raise additional capital to fund its operations, meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business and execute its longer-term business plan. These obligations include liabilities assumed in acquisition that are in arrears and payable on demand. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that these financial statements are issued. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including its ability to successfully attract and retain subscribers, develop new technologies that can compete in a rapidly changing market with many competitors and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.

 

Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through potential issuances of debt and equity securities. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to execute its strategy and raise additional funds. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity securities for cash, to operate its business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of an equity financing. In addition to the foregoing, based on the Company’s current assessment, the Company does not expect any material impact on its long-term development timeline and its liquidity due to the worldwide spread of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID 19”). However, the Company is continuing to assess the effect on its operations by monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the actions implemented to combat the virus throughout the world.

 

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts, as of March 31, 2020, of the Company and its 99.7%-owned operating subsidiary EAI, which, until the Merger, was the Company’s principal operating subsidiary; inactive subsidiaries York Production LLC and York Production II LLC; wholly-owned subsidiaries Facebank AG, StockAccess Holdings SAS (“SAH”) and FBNK Finance Sarl (“FBNK Finance”); its 70.0% ownership in Highlight Finance Corp. (“HFC”); and its 76% ownership in Pulse Evolution Corporation (“PEC”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments (except for the Nexway deconsolidation), considered necessary for a fair presentation of such interim results.

 

The results for the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any future interim period. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 29, 2020.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions include allocating the fair value of purchase consideration issued in business acquisitions, useful lives of intangible assets, analysis of impairments of recorded intangible assets, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing derivative liabilities and assumptions made when estimating the fair value of equity instruments issued in share-based payment arrangements and fair value of equity method investees.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

For a detailed discussion about the Company’s significant accounting policies, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 29, 2020.

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share excludes the potential impact of the Company’s convertible notes, convertible preferred stock, common stock options and warrants because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

The following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

 

   March 31,   March 31, 
   2020   2019 
Common stock purchase warrants   200,007    200,007 
Series D Preferred Stock shares   456,000    - 
Stock options   16,667    16,667

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in ASU 2018-13 modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2018-13 and its impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Note 4 – Investments

 

Nexway

On March 31, 2020, the Company relinquished 20% of the total Nexway shareholder votes associated with its investment, which reduced the Company’s voting interest in Nexway to 37.6%.

Note Purchase Agreement

 

On March 19, 2020, the Initial Borrower and FB Loan entered into the Note Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Initial Borrower sold to FB Loan the Senior Notes. On April 2, 2020, fuboTV and Sports Rights Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SRM”), also joined the Note Purchase Agreement as borrowers (fuboTV, SRM and the Initial Borrower, collectively, the “Borrower”). In connection with the Company’s acquisition of fuboTV, the proceeds of $7.4 million, net of an original issue discount of $2.65 million, were sent directly to fuboTV (see Note 15).

 

Each Borrower’s obligations under the Senior Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of each such Borrower pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2020, by and among Borrower and FB Loan (the “Security Agreement”).

 

The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants limiting the ability of the Borrower and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt, grant liens, make certain restricted payments, make certain loans and other investments, undertake certain fundamental changes, enter into restrictive agreements, dispose of assets, and enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case, subject to limitations and exceptions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement. The Note Purchase Agreement also contains customary events of default that include, among other things, certain payment defaults, cross defaults to other material obligations, covenant defaults, change of control defaults, judgment defaults, and bankruptcy and insolvency defaults. If an event of default exists, the lenders may require the immediate payment of all obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement, and may exercise certain other rights and remedies provided for under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement, the other loan documents and applicable law.

 

Interest on the Senior Notes shall accrue until full and final repayment of the principal amount of the Senior Note at a rate of 17.39% per annum. On the first business day of each calendar month in which the Senior Note is outstanding, beginning on April 1, 2020, Borrower shall pay in arrears in cash to FB Loan accrued interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Note. The maturity date of the Senior Notes is the earlier to occur of (i) July 8, 2020 and (ii) the date the Borrower receives the proceeds of any financing. The Borrower may prepay or redeem the Senior Note in whole or in part without penalty or premium.

 

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued FB Loan a warrant to purchase 3,269,231 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share (the “FB Loan Warrant”) and 900,000 shares of its common stock. The fair value of the warrant on the Senior Notes issuance date was approximately $15.6 million and is recorded as a warrant liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period (see Note 9). The fair value of the 900,000 common stock issued was based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of March 19, 2020 (or $8.15 per share or $7.3 million). Since the fair value of the warrants and common stock exceeded the principal balance of the Senior Notes, the Company recorded a loss on issuance of the Senior Notes totaling $12.9 million and is reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

The 900,000 shares were valued at $8.15 per share at March 19, 2020 and $7.5 million set forth on the balance sheet for shares settled payable for note payable reflects the fair value of 900,000 shares to be issued at $8.35 per share as of March 31, 2020. The Company recorded change in fair value of shares settled payable of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

The carrying value of the Senior Notes as of March 31, 2020 is comprised of the following:

 

   March 31, 2020 
Principal value of Senior Note  $10,050 
Original issue discount   (2,650)
Discount resulting from allocation of proceeds to warrant liability   (7,400)
Amortization of discount   1,005 
Net carrying value of Senior Note  $1,005 

 

Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Borrower agreed, among other things that (i) FaceBank shall file a registration statement with the Commission regarding the purchase and sale of 900,000 shares of FaceBank’s common stock issued to FB Loan in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Shares”) and any shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise of the FB Loan Warrant (the “Warrant Shares)”); and (ii) FaceBank shall have filed an application to list FaceBank’s Common Stock for trading on the NASDAQ exchange, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days following the closing date of the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

As of July 3, 2020, the Company had repaid the Senior Notes in full ($10.05 million) plus accrued interest.

 

Amendments to the Note Purchase Agreement

 

On April 21, 2020, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement to (i) extend the deadline for registration of the resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares to May 25, 2020 and (ii) provide that in lieu of the obligation under the Note Purchase Agreement to apply to list on NASDAQ within thirty (30) days of March 19, 2020, FaceBank shall have initiated the process to list its capital stock on a national exchange on or before the date that is thirty (30) days following March 19, 2020.

 

Subsequently, on May 28, 2020, the Company and FB Loan entered into a Consent and Second Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, FB Loan agreed to extend the deadline for registration for of the Shares and the Warrant Shares for resale to July 1, 2020. In addition:

The Company assumed liability for a warrant issued by PEC that expires on January 28, 2023. The fair value of the warrant liability, totaled $39,000 on March 31, 2020 and $24,000 on December 31, 2019, resulting in a change in fair value of $15,000 that is reported as a component of other income/(expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

Subsidiary Warrant Liability – The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the warrant liability with the following assumptions at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

 

  

March 31,

2020

   December 31, 2019 
Exercise price  $0.75   $0.75 
Stock price – subsidiary  $0.03   $0.02 
Discount applied   0%   0%
Fair value of stock price  $0.00   $0.00 
Risk free rate   0.28%   1.62%
Contractual term (years)   2.83    3.08 
Expected dividend yield   0%   0%
Expected volatility   83.7%   83.7%
Number of subsidiary warrants outstanding   48,904,037    48,904,037 

 

In arriving at the fair value of stock price as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, no discount was applied to the trading price of the PEC stock, as a result of illiquidity in the volumes being traded on the OTC markets. Risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The volatility rate was based on stock prices of comparable companies.

 

Profits Interest – The fair value of the profits interest was determined using an expected cash flow analysis.

 

Warrant Liability – In connection with its Note Purchase Agreement (see Note 8), the Company issued the FB Loan Warrant and utilized the Black-Scholes pricing model. Absent the Company’s sequencing policy as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 29, 2020, the Company would have recorded these warrants as equity classified. The warrant liability was recorded at the date of grant at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The fair value of the warrant liability at grant date totaled $15.6 million, and on March 31, 2020 the fair value of the warrant liability totaled $16.0 million, resulting in a change in fair value of $0.4 million that is reported as a component of other income/(expense) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

 

The significant assumptions used in the valuation are as follows:

 

   March 31, 2020 
Fair value of underlying common shares  $ 4.78 - 4.97 
Exercise price  $5.00 
Dividend yield    -%
Historical volatility    52.6% - 52.8%
Risk free interest rate    0.14% – 0.66 %

Embedded Put Option – The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) contains a contingent put option and, accordingly, the Company considered it to be a liability and accounted for it at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The Company determined the fair value of this liability using the Monte Carlo simulation model with the following inputs:

 

   March 31, 2020   December 31, 2019 
Stock price  $8.35 – $9.20   $8.91 – $9.03

Note 11 – Temporary Equity

 

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On March 6, 2020, the Company (i) entered into a stock purchase agreement to issue 203,000 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock, for proceeds of $203,000 and (ii) redeemed the 203,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock previously issued on September 6, 2019. As a result, the total number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2020 was 456,000 (see Note 16).

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

 

   Series D Preferred Stock 
   Shares   Amount 
Total temporary equity as of December 31, 2019   461,839   $462 
Issuance of Series D convertible preferred stock for cash   203,000    203 
Offering cost related to issuance of Series D convertible preferred stock   -    (3)
Deemed dividends related to immediate accretion of offering cost   -    3 
Accrued Series D preferred stock dividends   8,868    9 
Bifurcated redemption feature of Series D convertible preferred stock   -    (171)
Deemed dividends related to immediate accretion of bifurcated redemption feature of Series D convertible preferred stock   -    171 
Redemption of Series D preferred stock (including accrued dividends)   (210,831)   (211)
Total temporary equity as of March 31, 2020   462,876   $463 

 

The redemption of the 203,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (previously issued on September 6, 2020) on March 6, 2020 occurred as follows (amounts in thousands except share and per share values):

 

Series D preferred stock issued   203,000 
Per share value  $1.00 
   $203 
Accrued dividends  $8 
   $211 
Redemption percentage  $1.29 
Total  $272 

 

Holders of shares of the Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 8% on $1.00 per share of the Series D Preferred Stock per annum (equivalent to $0.08 per annum per share), subject to adjustment. The dividends are payable solely upon redemption, liquidation or conversion. The Company recorded approximately $9,000 accrued dividend as of March 31, 2020.

 

The Series D Preferred Stock is being classified as temporary equity because it has redemption features that are outside of the Company’s control upon certain triggering events, such as a Market Event. A “Market Event” is defined as any trading day during the period which shares of the Series D Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, where the trading price for such date is less than $0.35. In the event of a Market Event, the Series D Preferred Stock shall be subject to mandatory redemption and the stated value shall immediately be increased to $1.29 per share of Series D Preferred Stock. The Market Event is considered to be outside the control of the Company, resulting in classification of the Series D Preferred Stock as temporary equity.

 

The initial discounted carrying value resulted in recognition of a bifurcated redemption feature of $171,000, further reducing the initial carrying value of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The discount to the aggregate stated value of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, resulting from recognition of the bifurcated redemption feature was immediately accreted as a reduction of additional paid-in capital and an increase in the carrying value of the Series D Shares. The accretion is presented in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as a deemed dividend, increasing net loss to arrive at net loss attributable to common stockholders.

On May 21, 2020, we established our Outside Director Compensation Policy to set forth guidelines for the compensation of our non-employee directors for their service on our Board of Directors.

 

Options

 

The fair value of the Company’s common stock was based upon the publicly quoted price on the date that the final approval of the awards was obtained. The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future so therefore the expected dividend yield is 0%. The expected term for stock options granted with service conditions represents the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on 10 years. The Company obtained the risk-free interest rate from publicly available data published by the Federal Reserve. The Company uses a methodology in estimating its volatility percentage from a computation that was based on a comparison of average volatility rates of similar companies to a computation based on the standard deviation of the Company’s own underlying stock price’s daily logarithmic returns. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, 280,000 options were granted outside of the Plan, and there were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

The Company may be involved in certain legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Legal expenses associated with any contingency are expensed as incurred.

 

In connection with closed litigation on two separate matters that resulted in judgments against PEC, a majority interest of which was subsequently purchased by the Company, we have accrued $524,000 which remains on the balance sheet as a liability at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company, on behalf of its subsidiary, is in settlement discussions with the parties.

 

On August 27, 2018 plaintiff, Scott Meide, filed a pro se (unrepresented by counsel) complaint in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division, against PEC, now a subsidiary of the Company, naming its former officers among others as defendants. The Company’s position is that the pro se Complaint is defamatory, without merit in fact or law and represents an extortive attempt to coerce payment under threat of reputational harm. The Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates filed a motion to dismiss on September 25, 2018. On July 24, 2019, all counts of the complaint were dismissed in favor of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates. Mr. Meide was afforded the opportunity to file an amended complaint for a portion of his claims, and such amendment was filed on September 24, 2019. On October 6, 2019, Judge Marcia Morales Howard ordered Mr. Meide’s amended complaint stricken, describing the filing as insufficient and having failed to identify facts necessary to support its allegations, and offering Mr. Meide “one final opportunity to properly state his claims” with an amended complaint. Mr. Meide’s third attempt to submit a sufficient complaint was filed on November 1, 2019. The Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates plan to reaffirm their motions to dismiss and the Company believes Mr. Meide’s final amended complaint will also be dismissed. The Company plans to the ask the court for an award of sanctions and attorney fees in connection with Mr. Meide’s filing of a frivolous lawsuit.

 

Note 15 – Acquisition of fuboTV

 

As described in Note 1, on April 1, 2020, we consummated the acquisition of Pre-Merger fuboTV by the merger of Merger Sub into fuboTV, whereby fuboTV continued as the surviving corporation and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of FaceBank pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, all of the capital stock of fuboTV was converted into the right to receive 34,324,362 shares Series AA Preferred Stock, a newly-created class of stock. Pursuant to the Series AA Certificate of Designation, each share of Series AA Preferred Stock is convertible into two (2) shares of FaceBank’s common stock. In addition, each outstanding option to purchase shares of common stock of fuboTV was assumed by FaceBank and converted into an option to acquire FaceBank’s common stock. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time the Company assumed 8,051,098 stock options issued and outstanding under the fuboTV Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.32 per share. From and after the Effective Time, such options may be exercised for shares of FaceBank’s common stock under the terms of the 2015 Plan.

FaceBank Group, Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The preliminary purchase price amounted to $596.1 million which represents the $529.7 market value ($8.20 per share as of April 1, 2020) of 64.6 million common shares plus the $66.4 million value of 8.1 million stock options on an as-converted basis. This preliminary purchase price excludes transaction costs.

 

The Company will account for the Merger as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the purchase price will be allocated to the net assets acquired, inclusive of intangible assets, with any excess fair value recorded to goodwill. Since the closing date of the acquisition occurred subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the allocation of purchase price to the underlying net assets has not yet been completed. The Company will reflect the preliminary purchase price allocation in its consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis by our management of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

The results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not readily comparable against the results of our operations in the comparable prior year three month period ended March 31, 2019 as a result of our acquisition of Facebank AG and our acquisition of and then deconsolidation of Nexway AG and its subsidiaries.

 

In addition, because of the acquisition of fuboTV on April 1, 2020, the results of our operations going forward will be markedly different. We encourage our investors to review the Pro Forma Unaudited Condensed Combined financial statement presentation as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 that was included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A that was filed with the Commission on June 17, 2020, as well as the Company’s forthcoming Current Report on Form 8-K/A that will include additional Pro Forma Unaudited Condensed Combined financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2020.

 

Incorporation

 

FaceBank Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “FaceBank”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in February 2009 under the name York Entertainment, Inc. On September 30, 2019, the Company’s name was changed to FaceBank Group, Inc.

 

Merger with fuboTV Inc.

 

On April 1, 2020, fuboTV Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) merged with and into fuboTV Inc., a Delaware corporation (“fuboTV”), whereby fuboTV continued as the surviving corporation and became our wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of March 19, 2020, by and among us, Merger Sub and fuboTV (the “Merger Agreement” and such transaction, the “Merger”) (See Note 15).

 

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all of the capital stock of fuboTV was converted into the right to receive shares of our newly-created class of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series AA Preferred Stock”) (See Note 12). Each share of Series AA Preferred Stock is entitled to 0.8 votes per share and is convertible into two (2) shares of our common stock, only in connection with a bona fide transfer to a third party pursuant to Rule 144. Until the time we are able to uplist to a national securities exchange, the Series AA Preferred Stock benefits from certain protective provisions that, for example, require us to obtain the approval of a majority of the shares of outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, before undertaking certain matters.

 

As a result of the Merger, fuboTV, a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news, and entertainment, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Before the Merger, Facebank Group was and continues to be a character-based virtual entertainment company, and a leading developer of digital human likeness for celebrities and consumers, focused on applications in traditional entertainment, sports entertainment, live events, social networking, mixed reality (AR/VR) and artificial intelligence. Following the Merger, we operate our business under the name “fuboTV” and we are in the process of changing the name of FaceBank Group, Inc. to fuboTV, Inc. On May 1, 2020, the Company’s trading symbol was changed to “FUBO”. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refers to FaceBank and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, and fuboTV Pre-Merger refers to fuboTV Inc. prior to the Merger.

 

In connection with the Merger, on March 11, 2020, FaceBank and HLEE Finance S.a r.l. (“HLEE”) entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2020, pursuant to which HLEE provided FaceBank with a $100,000,000 revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all the assets of FaceBank. As of July 6, 2020, there are no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, and the Company does not intend to draw down on this Credit Facility. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the Credit Facility.

 

On March 19, 2020, FaceBank, Merger Sub, Evolution AI Corporation (“EAI”) and Pulse Evolution Corporation (“PEC” and collectively with EAI, Merger Sub and FaceBank, the “Initial Borrower”) and FB Loan Series I, LLC (“FB Loan”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Initial Borrower sold to FB Loan senior secured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $10,050,000 (the “Senior Notes”). The Company received proceeds of $7.4 million, net of an original issue discount of $2.65 million. In connection with the FB Loan, FaceBank, fuboTV and certain of their respective subsidiaries granted a lien on substantially of their assets to secure the obligations under the Senior Notes. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

Prior to the Merger, fuboTV Pre-Merger and its subsidiaries were party to a Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2018 (the “AMC Agreement”), with AMC Networks Ventures LLC as lender, administrative agent and collateral agent (“AMC Networks Ventures”). fuboTV Pre-Merger previously granted AMC Networks Ventures a lien on substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations thereunder. The AMC Agreement survived the Merger and, as of the Effective Time, there was $24.9 million outstanding under the AMC Agreement, net of debt issuance costs. In connection with the Merger, FaceBank guaranteed the obligations of fuboTV under the AMC Agreement on an unsecured basis. The liens of AMC Networks Ventures on the assets of fuboTV are senior to the liens in favor of FB Loan and FaceBank securing the Senior Notes.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company is a leading digital entertainment company, combining fuboTV Pre-Merger’s direct-to-consumer live TV streaming, or vMVPD, platform with FaceBank Pre-Merger’s technology-driven IP in sports, movies and live performances. We expect that this business combination will create a content delivery platform for traditional and future-form IP. We plan to leverage FaceBank’ IP sharing relationships with leading celebrities and other digital technologies to enhance its already robust sports and entertainment offerings.

 

Since the Merger, while we continue our previous business operations, we are principally focused on offering consumers a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news and entertainment through fuboTV. fuboTV revenues are almost entirely derived from the sale of subscription services and advertising in the United States, though fuboTV has started to assess expansion opportunities into international markets, with operations in Canada and the launch in late 2018 of its first ex-North America offering of streaming entertainment, to consumers in Spain.

 

Our subscription-based services are offered to consumers who can sign-up for accounts at https://fubo.tv, through which we provide basic plans with the flexibility for consumers to purchase the add-ons and features best suited for them. Besides the website, consumers can also sign-up via some TV-connected devices. The fuboTV platform provides, what we believe to be, a superior viewer experience, with a broad suite of unique features and personalization tools such as multi-channel viewing capabilities, favorites lists and a dynamic recommendation engine as well as 4K streaming and Cloud DVR offerings.

Revenue

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized revenues of $7.3 million. The revenues recognized are related to the sale of our software licenses. There were no revenues recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

General and Administrative

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, general and administrative expenses totaled $20.2 million, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase of $19.2 million is primarily related to $9.2 million compensation expenses, $3.6 million marketing and advertising and $6.2 million other general and administrative expenses resulting from our 2019 acquisitions of Facebank AG and Nexway.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, amortization expenses totaled $5.2 million compared to $5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized $11.9 million of other income, compared to $2.2 million of other income during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The $9.8 million increase to other income is primarily related to $39.2 million of gain on deconsolidation of Nexway, $0.3 million for the change in fair value of our derivative liability related to our convertible notes and preferred stock, offset by debt discount of $2.6 million related to our convertible notes, $0.4 million for the loss in fair value of warrant liability, $0.2 million for the loss in fair value of shares settled liability and $24.1 million of loss on issuance of convertible notes, bonds and warrants.

 

28
 

 

Income Taxes

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized an income tax benefit of $1.0 million. The Company’s deferred tax liability and income tax benefit relates to our amortizable intangible assets. The amortization of intangible assets of $1.0 million caused the deferred tax liability to decrease by $1.0 million, which resulted in the recognition of an income tax benefit.

 

Net Loss

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a net loss of $5.2 million, compared to a net loss of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in net loss of $2.3 million is primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense of $9.1 million and a gain of $39.2 million on deconsolidation of Nexway, $24.1 million loss on issuance of convertible notes, bonds and warrants, debt discount of $2.6 million related to our convertible notes and net revenue of $7.3 million recognized from the sale of our software licenses.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company had cash of $0.1 million, a working capital deficiency of $31.4 million and an accumulated deficit of $140.1 million at March 31, 2020. The Company incurred a $5.2 million net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company expects to continue incurring losses in the foreseeable future and will need to raise additional capital to fund its operations, meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business and execute its longer-term business plan. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that those financial statements are issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including its ability to successfully attract and retain subscribers, develop new technologies that can compete in a rapidly changing market with many competitors and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.

 

Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through potential issuances of debt and equity securities. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to execute its strategy and raise additional funds. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity securities for cash, to operate its business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of an equity financing. In addition to the foregoing, based on the Company’s current assessment, the Company does not expect any material impact on its long-term development timeline and its liquidity due to the worldwide spread of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID 19”). However, the Company is continuing to assess the effect on its operations by monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the actions implemented to combat the virus throughout the world.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 million. The net cash provided is primarily related to $1.8 million of proceeds received from the sale of our common stock, $65,000 of proceeds received from the issuance of our subsidiary’s common stock, offset by repayments of $0.2 million of our convertible notes.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include allocating the fair value of purchase consideration issued in business acquisitions, investments, depreciable lives of property and equipment, analysis of impairments of recorded goodwill and other long-term assets, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing derivative liabilities, assumptions made when estimating the fair value of equity instruments issued in share-based payment arrangements and deferred income taxes and related valuation allowance.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 3 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting policies.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer , we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2020. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in our December 31, 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic could negatively affect our internal controls over financial reporting, including our ongoing process of remediating the material weakness in our disclosure control and procedures, as a portion of our workforce is required to work from home and standard processes are disrupted. New processes, procedures, and controls which may increase the overall inherent risk in the business, may be required to ensure an effective control environment.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are and may be involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, currently, in our opinion, the likelihood of any material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or our financial position for any such litigation or claims is deemed to be remote. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

 

Except for income tax contingencies (commencing April 1, 2009), the Company records accruals for contingencies to the extent that management concludes that the occurrence is probable and that the related amounts of loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred.

 

On August 27, 2018 plaintiff, Scott Meide, filed a pro se (unrepresented by counsel) complaint in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division, against PEC, now a subsidiary of the Company, naming its former officers among others as defendants. The Company’s position is that the pro se Complaint is defamatory, without merit in fact or law and represents an extortive attempt to coerce payment under threat of reputational harm. The Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates filed a motion to dismiss on September 25, 2018. On July 24, 2019, all counts of the complaint were dismissed in favor of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates. Mr. Meide was afforded the opportunity to file an amended complaint for a portion of his claims, and such amendment was filed on September 24, 2019. On October 6, 2019, Judge Marcia Morales Howard ordered Mr. Meide’s amended complaint stricken, describing the filing as insufficient and having failed to identify facts necessary to support its allegations, and offering Mr. Meide “one final opportunity to properly state his claims” with an amended complaint. Mr. Meide’s third attempt to submit a sufficient complaint was filed on November 1, 2019. The Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates plan to reaffirm their motions to dismiss and the Company believes Mr. Meide’s final amended complaint will also be dismissed. The Company plans to the ask the court for an award of sanctions and attorney fees in connection with Mr. Meide’s filing of a frivolous lawsuit.

Item 5. Other Information
