This figure is based on 4,682,620 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of RLJ Entertainment, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”), held indirectly through Digital Entertainment Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DEH”), plus (i) 2,893,693 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the conversion of all of the shares of Series D-1 preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Issuer held indirectly through DEH, (ii) 18,333,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the exercise in full of Class A, Class B and Class C warrants to purchase Common Stock with an initial exercise date of October 14, 2016 (the “Warrants”) held indirectly through DEH and (iii) 747,945 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the exercise in full of the warrants to purchase Common Stock with an initial exercise date of May 20, 2015 (the “2015 Warrants”) held indirectly through DEH.

(2)

Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons may be deemed to be a member of a “group” under Rule 13d-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with Robert L. Johnson, The RLJ Companies, LLC and RLJ SPAC Acquisition, LLC (“RLJ SPAC”, and collectively with Robert L. Johnson and The RLJ Companies, LLC, the “Johnson Entities”) with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer. As disclosed in Amendment No. 12 to the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D with respect to the Issuer filed by the Johnson Entities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 30, 2018 (the “Johnson Schedule 13D”), the Johnson Entities may be deemed to beneficially own 8,294,465 shares of Common Stock, including 6,794,465 outstanding shares of Common Stock and 2015 Warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock at $3.00 per share. Each Reporting Person and Covered Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock and other securities held by the Johnson Entities pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Exchange Act, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such Reporting Person or Covered Person is the beneficial owner of the Common Stock or other securities held by the Johnson Entities.

(3)

This calculation is based on 15,614,607 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of August 2, 2018 as disclosed in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on August 9, 2018 (the “Form 10-Q”), plus (i) the 2,893,693 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion in full of the Preferred Stock as described in note 1, (ii) the 18,333,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of the Warrants as described in note 1 and (iii) the 747,945 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of the 2015 Warrants as described in note 1. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act, this calculation does not include shares of Common Stock not outstanding which are subject to options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges held by parties other than the Reporting Persons. As disclosed in the Form 10-Q and in information provided by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons, and accounting for the recent purchase by the Reporting Persons of 2015 Warrants and shares of Preferred Stock from third parties, third parties (including the Johnson Entities) hold 6,516.45 shares of Preferred Stock convertible into approximately 3.1 million shares of Common Stock and 2015 Warrants to purchase 2.35 million shares of Common Stock. Assuming the conversion of all Preferred Stock and the exercise of all 2015 Warrants held by third parties (including the Johnson Entities), the Common Stock underlying the Warrants held directly by DEH, if fully exercised, would represent in the aggregate no less than 50.1% of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.

As of August 10, 2018, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 4,682,620 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by DEH, plus (i) 2,893,693 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the conversion of all of the shares of Preferred Stock of the Issuer held by DEH, (ii) 18,333,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the exercise in full of the Warrants held by DEH and (iii) 747,945 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the exercise in full of the 2015 Warrants held by DEH, which represents in the aggregate 70.92% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding based on 15,614,607 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of August 2, 2018 as disclosed in the Form 10-Q, plus (i) the 2,893,693 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion in full of the Preferred Stock, (ii) the 18,333,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of the Warrants and (iii) the 747,945 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of the 2015 Warrants.

Each of the Covered Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock reported herein pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such Covered Person is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

Each of Parent Borrower and the Guarantors hereby (i) acknowledges and agrees that all of such party’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party are reaffirmed and remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, (ii) reaffirms (A) each Lien granted by it to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (B) the guaranties made by it pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the grants of security interests by Parent Borrower and each of the Guarantors contained in the Pledge and Security Agreement and any other Collateral Document shall remain, in full force and effect after giving effect to the Amendment, and (iv) agrees that the Obligations include, among other things and without limitation, the prompt and complete payment and performance by Parent Borrower when due and payable (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of principal and interest on, and premium (if any) on, the Term Loan in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

7. Effect on Credit Documents. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, nothing in this Amendment shall constitute a modification or alteration of the terms, conditions or covenants of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or a waiver of any terms or provisions thereof, and the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall remain unchanged (except as amended hereby) and shall continue in full force and effect. Parent Borrower and each of the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that, on and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, this Amendment shall constitute a Credit Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement. On and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Credit Documents to “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and shall be read together and construed as a single instrument. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle Parent Borrower nor the Guarantors to a further consent to, or a further waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement, as amended, or any other Credit Document in similar or different circumstances.

8. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the parties hereto on the same or separate counterparts, and each such counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Amendment. Receipt by telecopy, facsimile or email transmission of any executed signature page to this Amendment shall constitute effective delivery of such signature page.

9. Headings. The headings, captions, and arrangements used in this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Amendment.

10. Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Amendment or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

11. Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

12. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any assignment in contravention of the foregoing shall be absolutely void.

13. Construction. The Administrative Agent and Parent Borrower acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review the Amendment with its legal counsel and that the Amendment shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Administrative Agent and Parent Borrower.
