ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

 

This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “New Sequential Common Stock”), of Sequential Brands Group, Inc. (f/k/a Singer Madeline Holdings, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer is the successor issuer by merger to SQBG, Inc. (f/k/a Sequential Brands Group, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Old Sequential”), as a result of the business combination described in Item 3 below. The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 5 Bryant Park, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10018.

 

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

 

TCP WR Acquisition, LLC (“TCP WR”) is a Delaware limited liability company and its principal business is investments. TCP SQBG Acquisition, LLC (“TCP SQBG”) is a Delaware limited liability company and its principal business is investments. TCP SQBG II, LLC (“SQBG II”) is a Delaware limited liability company and its principal business is investments. Tengram Capital Associates, LLC (“TCA”) is a Delaware limited liability company and its principal business is investments. TCA is the general partner of Tengram Capital Partners Gen2 Fund, L.P. (“Tengram”), which is a Delaware limited partnership, the principal business of which is investments. Mr. William Sweedler and Mr. Matthew Eby are United States citizens and the controlling partners of Tengram and managing members of TCA, which is the managing member and which has the sole voting control of each of (i) TCP WR, (ii) TCP SQBG and (iii) SQBG II. Tengram, TCP WR, TCP SQBG, SQBG II, TCA, Mr. Sweedler and Mr. Eby are collectively the “Reporting Persons”. The address of the principal business and principal office of the Reporting Persons is 15 Riverside Avenue, Westport, CT 06880.

 

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction such that, as a result of such proceeding, such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

 

On June 22, 2015, the Issuer, Old Sequential, Madeline Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Madeline Merger Sub”), Singer Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Singer Merger Sub”), and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MSLO”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”). On December 4, 2015 (the “Effective Time”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Singer Merger Sub was merged with and into Old Sequential, with Old Sequential surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Sequential Merger”), and Madeline Merger Sub was merged with and into MSLO, with MSLO surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “MSLO Merger”, and collectively with the Sequential Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, the Issuer became the ultimate parent of Old Sequential, MSLO and their respective subsidiaries. Additionally, MSLO and Old Sequential ceased to be publicly traded companies, and Old Sequential changed its name from “Sequential Brands Group, Inc.” to “SQBG, Inc.” The Issuer continued as a publicly traded company as the successor issuer to Old Sequential pursuant to Rule 12g-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with its shares of New Sequential Common Stock traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “SQBG”. The Issuer also changed its name from “Singer Madeline Holdings, Inc.” to “Sequential Brands Group, Inc.”

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.001, of Old Sequential (the “Old Sequential Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into one share of New Sequential Common Stock, such that each Old Sequential stockholder received, for each share of Old Sequential Common Stock owned, one share of New Sequential Common Stock. Derivative securities relating to Old Sequential Common Stock were converted into derivative securities relating to an equal number of shares of New Sequential Common Stock, subject to rounding, with substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedule and exercise price, as applicable). Moreover, all existing MSLO stockholders received, at their election and subject to proration, $6.15 in shares of New Sequential Common Stock or cash, or some combination thereof based upon their election and subject to proration, for each share of MSLO common stock they owned immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

 

 -9- 

 

  

Accordingly, at the Effective Time and pursuant to the Mergers, (a) the 6,628,572 shares of Old Sequential Common Stock held by TCP WR immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted to 6,628,572 shares of New Sequential Common Stock, (b) the 733,333 shares of Old Sequential Common Stock held by TCP SQBG immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted to 733,333 shares of New Sequential Common Stock and (c) the 257,273 shares of Old Sequential Common Stock held by SQBG II immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted to 257,273 shares of New Sequential Common Stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Reporting Persons did not hold any options to acquire Old Sequential Common Stock, unvested awards of restricted Old Sequential Common Stock or awards of restricted stock units corresponding to shares of Old Sequential Common Stock.

 

The foregoing summary of the Mergers and the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement and Plan of Merger filed as Exhibit 7.1 herewith and the Letter Agreement filed as Exhibit 7.2 herewith, both of which are incorporated by reference herein.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

 

The information contained in Item 3 above is hereby incorporated by reference.

 

In connection with the Mergers, Mr. Sweedler became chairman of the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”). Mr. Sweedler will serve as director until his term expires at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2018 and as chairman at the pleasure of the Board, and, in both cases, until his respective successor has been duly elected and qualified or until Mr. Sweedler’s earlier death, resignation, incapacity or removal. The Issuer’s Board is classified, divided into three classes with each director holding office for three years.

 

Unrelated to the Merger Agreement, Mr. Sweedler directly beneficially owns 393,019 shares of New Sequential Common Stock. Additionally, Mr. Sweedler may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own 59,165 shares of New Sequential Common Stock held by Madcat II, LLC (“Madcat”), of which Mr. Sweedler is the managing member. Mr. Sweedler disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of New Sequential Common Stock held by Madcat, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. Lastly, Mr. Sweedler may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own 40,000 shares of New Sequential Common Stock held by the Amber & William Sweedler Family Foundation Inc. (the “Foundation”). Mr. Sweedler has investment discretion over the shares of New Sequential Common Stock held by the Foundation and disclaims beneficial ownership for all other purposes. As the Foundation is an entity exempt from taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, none of the Foundation’s board members has a pecuniary interest in the shares of New Sequential Common Stock held by the Foundation.

 

Unrelated to the Merger Agreement, Mr. Eby directly beneficially owns 4,738 shares of New Sequential Common Stock.

 

Except as otherwise stated herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any current plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
