Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 17, 2015, SFX Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a series of transactions designed to secure capital for new initiatives and operating and working capital needs, including (i) the assignment of its existing $30 million revolving credit facility to affiliates of GoldenTree Asset Management LP, and the entry into certain amendments to the related credit agreement, (ii) the sale of $30 million of new Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), to an affiliate of Robert F.X. Sillerman, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and (iii) the issuance of $30 million of new Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), to an institutional investor, in each as case as summarized in greater detail below.  The shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are subordinate in all respects to the Company’s 9.625% notes due in 2019 and the revolving credit facility.

 

Amendment and Restatement Agreement

 

On September 17, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiary guarantors entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, in respect of the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated February 7, 2014, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”).  Among other things, the Amendment modifies the Credit Agreement by (i) reinstating a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio financial covenant, (ii) increasing the applicable margins for base rate loans and Eurodollar loans to 9.00% per annum and 10.00% per annum, respectively, and instituting a 1.00% LIBOR floor, (iii) eliminating or restricting certain exceptions to the negative covenants and (iv) extending the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from February 7, 2017 to September 17, 2017.  Pursuant to the Amendment, prepayments of loans automatically reduce the commitments under the Credit Agreement.   In addition, as previously disclosed, in connection with a previous amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Sillerman Investment Company III LLC (“SIC”), an entity controlled by Mr. Sillerman, pursuant to which SIC committed to cash collateralize any credit extensions under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount of up to $31.5 million for a period of one year.  In connection with the Amendment, the cash collateral was released and the Commitment Letter was terminated.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2015, which the Company intends to file in November 2015.

 

Series A Subscription Agreement; Series A Preferred Stock

 

On September 17, 2015, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with SIC (the “Series A Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which SIC agreed to purchase from the Company an aggregate of 300 shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) of the Company’s new Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $30.0 million, at a price of $100,000 per share.  Pursuant to the Series A Subscription Agreement, SIC purchased $15.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock on September 17, 2015 and is obligated to purchase an additional $2.5 million of Series A Preferred Stock on six subsequent closings to be held every fifth day following the initial closing.  The Series A Subscription Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants from the Company and SIC relating to the transaction.

 

Dividends. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 29.5% per annum on the sum of the liquidation value, which is $100,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Liquidation Value”), plus accrued and accumulated dividends, until the aggregate Liquidation Value of and accrued and accumulated dividends on the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock is equal to $53.0 million.  Thereafter, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 9.0% per annum and are payable in cash or, with the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to certain limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”).

 

Voting Rights. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have no voting rights other than voting rights prescribed by law.

Liquidation Preference. In connection with a liquidation event (as further described in the Series A Certificate of Designation), any payment due on the Series A Preferred Stock must be made payable prior to, and in preference of, any junior securities of the Company, including the Common Stock.

 

Change of Control. The Company may not enter into, consummate, approve or recommend any proposed transaction (or any agreement with respect thereto) that results or would result in a Change of Control (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation) unless (i) either (x) such transaction is approved by a vote, or by consent, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or (y) the acquiror in such Change of Control agrees to purchase each share of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding for cash at the Liquidation Value of each such share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends on such share (whether or not declared) and (ii) any such Change of Control is conditioned upon the consummation of such purchase by such acquiror and such purchase must occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Change of Control transaction.

 

Ranking.  With respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock rank senior to all junior securities, including Common Stock, and junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below).

 

The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock was approved by the previously established special committee of independent directors of the Company.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Series A Subscription Agreement and the Series A Certificate of Designation in this Current Report do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Series A Subscription Agreement and the Series A Certificate of Designation, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 3.1, respectively, to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Voting and Support Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Series A Subscription Agreement, Mr. Sillerman, SIC, and ESFX LLC (“ESFX”), an affiliate of Mr. Sillerman, entered into a Voting and Support Agreement with the Company on September 17, 2015, and subsequently entered into an amendment to the agreement on September 22, 2015 (as amended, the “Voting Agreement”). As of September 17, 2015, Mr. Sillerman, SIC and ESFX (collectively, the “Stockholders”) have beneficial ownership of approximately 37.8% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Stockholders have agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of (i) the adoption of a definitive agreement (a “Definitive Agreement”) for a transaction involving the sale of the Company that is recommended by the special committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) charged with managing the sales process (a “Recommended Transaction”) and (ii) the approval of the transactions contemplated by such Definitive Agreement and against any other action or agreement that (1) would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Stockholders under the Voting Agreement, (2) could reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the consummation of the Recommended Transaction under the Definitive Agreement not being fulfilled or (3) is intended or would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, frustrate, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Recommended Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Definitive Agreement.

 

The Voting Agreement will terminate on December 31, 2015 unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, except that if the Company enters into a Definitive Agreement for a Recommended Transaction prior to such date, the obligation of the Stockholders to vote in favor of such Recommended Transaction will remain in effect until the earlier of (1) the consummation of the Recommended Transaction and (2) the six month anniversary of the execution of the Definitive Agreement relating to the Recommended Transaction.

 

The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement in this Current Report does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting and Support Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to Voting and Support Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.

Series B Purchase Agreement; Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On September 17, 2015 (the “Series B Issuance Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Series B Purchase Agreement”) with funds managed by Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (the “Series B Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Series B Purchasers purchased from the Company an aggregate of 30,000 shares (the “Series B Preferred Shares” and, together with the Series A Preferred Shares, the “Preferred Shares”) of new Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $30.0 million, at a price of $1,000 per share (the “Series B Original Issue Price”). Pursuant to the Series B Purchase Agreement, among other things, the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement covering the resale of the Series B Preferred Shares not later than 90 days after the Series B Issuance Date and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC not later than 150 days after the Series B Issuance Date, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein.  The Series B Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants from the Company and the Series B Purchasers relating to the transaction.

 

Dividends.  Cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, at the rate of 9% per annum on the sum of the Series B Original Issue Price thereof plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends thereon.  All accrued dividends on any share of Series B Preferred Stock will be paid in cash out of funds legally available, or, with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock, in shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the dividends then due therefor or upon a liquidation of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of the certificate of designation for the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”); provided that to the extent not paid on the last day of March, June, September and December of each calendar year (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”), all accrued dividends on any share shall accumulate and compound on the applicable Dividend Payment Date whether or not declared by the Board and shall remain accumulated, compounding dividends until paid or converted in accordance with the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation; provided further that the first Dividend Payment Date will commence on December 31, 2015.  All accrued and accumulated dividends on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be prior and in preference to any dividend on any securities junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Junior Securities”), including the Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall be fully declared and paid before any dividends are declared and paid, or any other distributions, repurchases or redemptions are made, on any Junior Securities, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designation.  Pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Company may not issue any shares of Common Stock as dividends to holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to the extent that, upon giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates, including any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the Series B Certificate of Designation, exceeds 19.99% of the Common Stock or 19.99% of the voting power of the Company (calculated in accordance with the applicable NASDAQ rules and regulations) (the “Issuance Limitation”), unless the Company obtains the requisite shareholder approval under applicable NASDAQ rules.  The Series B Certificate of Designation also provides that in addition to the dividends accruing on the Series B Preferred Stock, if the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, the Company will simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock as set forth therein.

 

Voting Rights. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have no voting rights with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock other than voting rights prescribed by law.

 

Certain Restrictions.  The terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation impose certain restrictions on the Company, including, among others, a restriction that, subject to certain exceptions, the Company may not, when dividends payable on the Series B Preferred Stock are in arrears, declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Junior Securities.

 

Liquidation; Change of Control; Sillerman Transaction.  In the event of a Liquidation (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation), holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment is made to holders of any Junior Securities, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation) of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder.

Upon the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation) transaction, the Series B Preferred Stock holders will, in consideration for cancellation of their shares, be entitled to the same rights such holders are entitled to upon the occurrence of a Liquidation, plus the then present value at such time of all required dividend payments due pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation through the date that is 18 months prior to the Initial Conversion Date (as defined below), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation) plus 50 basis points.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation, if a transaction occurs pursuant to which Mr. Sillerman and his affiliates become beneficial owners of the Company’s securities representing more than 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company (“Sillerman Transaction”), to the extent the lowest price paid for a share of Common Stock in such Sillerman Transaction is less than the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect immediately prior to such Sillerman Transaction, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to such lowest price paid.  Subject to the terms of the indenture governing the Company’s second lien secured notes due 2019 (the “Indenture”), upon any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock by a holder as of or following the closing of a Sillerman Transaction, such holder shall be entitled to be paid in cash, for each share of Series B Preferred Stock then converted, the then present value at such time of all required dividend payments due on such share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation through the date that is 18 months prior to the Initial Conversion Date, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points; provided, however, that the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to such present value with respect to shares of Series B Preferred Stock that have not been converted.  If the cash amount required by the preceding sentence is not made as a result of a limitation in the Indenture, the Company is required to immediately issue to the relevant holder a number of shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the cash amount that has not been paid subject to the Issuance Limitation and certain other limitations set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designation, provided that the Company shall issue any shares not issued as a result of such limitations as soon as practicable when such limitations no longer would prohibit such issuance.

 

Optional and Automatic Conversion into Common Stock.  At any time after the Series B Issuance Date, any holder of Series B Preferred Stock has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder along with the aggregate accrued or accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon into an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by (i) multiplying the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted by the Series B Original Issue Price (ii) adding to the result all accrued and accumulated or declared and unpaid dividends on such shares to be converted, and then (iii) dividing the result by the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such conversion. The initial conversion price per share (the “Conversion Price”) is $1.75, subject to various anti-dilution adjustments as set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designation.

 

In addition, on the date that is 36 months from the Series B Issuance Date (the “Initial Conversion Date”) and on the date that is three, six, nine and twelve months following the Initial Conversion Date (each, an “Automatic Conversion Date”), 20% of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by each holder automatically converts (with all remaining outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock converting on the final Automatic Conversion Date) along with the aggregate accrued or accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares to be converted into an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by (i) multiplying the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted by the Series B Original Issue Price, (ii) adding to the result all accrued and accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares to be converted, and then (ii) dividing the result by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect.

 

Pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation, the Company shall not effect any conversion of Series B Preferred Stock (whether optional or automatic) and a holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall not have the right to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the extent that, upon giving effect to such conversion, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a holder and its affiliates, including any shares issued as a dividend pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation, exceeds the Issuance Limitation, unless the Company obtains the requisite shareholder approval under applicable NASDAQ rules.

 

Ranking.  With respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Junior Securities.

Breaches of Obligations.  The Series B Certificate of Designation provides for certain consequences upon the occurrence of a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Breach (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation and includes, among other things, the failure of the Company (i) to pay dividends when due and (ii) make any liquidation payment when due).  If a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Breach has occurred and is continuing, the dividend rate on the Series B Preferred Stock will increase immediately by an increment of 1.5% per annum, and thereafter will automatically increase further at the end of each succeeding 90-day period following the date of the initial Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Breach by an additional increment of 1% per annum, until no Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Breach exists; provided however that in no event shall the aggregate dividend rate accruing pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation exceed 15% per annum.  In addition, if a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Breach has occurred and is continuing for a period of ten days, the then current Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock will be reduced immediately to 90% of the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such reduction.

(A)                               From and after the Date of Issuance of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the Accretion Target Date (as defined below), cumulative dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis at the rate of 29.5% per annum on the sum of the Liquidation Value thereof plus all accrued and accumulated dividends thereon.  The “Accretion Target Date” shall be the first date upon which the aggregate Liquidation Value and accrued and accumulated dividends on the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock is equal to $53,000,000.  From and after the Accretion Target Date, cumulative dividends on the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis at the rate of 9.0% per annum on the sum of the Liquidation Value thereof plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends thereon.

 



 

Dividends accrued and accumulated prior to the Accretion Target Date shall not be paid until after the Accretion Target Date.  Dividends accrued and accumulated after the Accretion Target Date shall be paid in cash or, with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock (as defined below) with a value equal to the dividends then due (valued at the last reported bid price of the Common Stock on the day immediately preceding the date on which such dividend payment becomes due), on the last day of March, June, September and December of each calendar year (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”).  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2(A) to the contrary, if any issuance of Common Stock pursuant to this Section would, in the good faith judgment of the Corporation, require shareholder approval pursuant to NASDAQ Stock Market, Equity Rule 5635, then the number of shares to be issued shall be reduced to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of applicable calculation.  Unless the prior written consent of holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock is obtained, all accrued and accumulated dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be prior and in preference to any dividend on any Junior Securities and shall be fully declared and paid before any dividends are declared and paid, or any other distributions, repurchases or redemptions are made, on or of any Junior Securities.  “Liquidation Value” means, with respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock on any given date, $100,000.00.  “Date of Issuance” means, for any share of Series A Preferred Stock, the date on which the Corporation initially issues such share (without regard to any subsequent transfer of such share or reissuance of the certificate(s) representing such share of Series A Preferred Stock). “Junior Securities” means, collectively, the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Corporation and any other class of equity securities of the Corporation that is junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up).  “Series B Preferred Stock” means, collectively, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Corporation issued on September 16, 2015.

 

(B)                               Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued and accumulated with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed pro rata among the holders thereof based upon the aggregate accrued and accumulated but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each such holder.

 

Section 3.                                           Voting Rights.  The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights other than those voting rights prescribed by law or set forth in this Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences.

 

Section 4.                                           Certain Restrictions.

 

(A)                               Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not earned or declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not, without the prior written consent of holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock:

 

(i)                                     declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or

purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Junior Securities, other than in accordance with and pursuant to definitive agreements in effect prior to the first Date of Issuance hereunder;

 

(ii)                                  declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; or

 

(iii)                               redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of Junior Securities.

 

(B)                               The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under Paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

 

(C)                               Other than the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not, without the prior written consent of holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, create, authorize or issue any shares of stock ranking on a parity with, or senior to, in each case either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Section 5.                                           Reacquired Shares.  Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof.  All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

 

Section 6.                                           Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

 

(A)                               In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (a “Liquidation”), the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends on all such shares (whether or not declared).

 

(B)                               If upon any Liquidation the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the shares of Series A

Preferred Stock the full preferential amount to which they are entitled under Section 5, (a) the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective full preferential amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock in the aggregate upon such Liquidation if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full, and (b) the Corporation shall not make or agree to make any payments to the holders of shares of Junior Securities.

 

(C)                               In the event of any Liquidation, the Corporation shall, within ten (10) days of the date the Board of Directors approves such action, or no later than ten (10) days of any stockholders’ meeting called to approve such action, or within ten (10) days of the commencement of any involuntary proceeding, whichever is earlier, give each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock written notice of the proposed action. Such written notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of such proposed action, including a description of the stock, cash and property to be received by the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock upon consummation of the proposed action and the date of delivery thereof. If any material change in the facts set forth in the initial notice shall occur, the Corporation shall promptly give written notice to each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of such material change.

 

(D)                               Without the written consent of the holders of all the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not consummate any voluntary Liquidation of the Corporation unless the holders of Series A Preferred Stock receive cash, new securities or other property contemplated in connection therewith by this Section 6.

 

(E)                                The Corporation shall not consummate any voluntary Liquidation of the Corporation before the expiration of thirty (30) days after the mailing of the initial notice or ten (10) days after the mailing of any subsequent written notice, whichever is later; provided, that any such period may be shortened upon the written consent of the holders of all the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Section 7.                                           Certain Transactions.

 

(A)                               The Corporation shall not enter into, consummate, approve or recommend any proposed transaction (or any agreement with respect thereto) that results or would result in a Change of Control unless (i) either (x) such transaction is approved by a vote, or by consent, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or (y) the acquiror in such Change of Control (the “Acquiror”) agrees to purchase each share of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding for cash at the Liquidation Value of each such share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends on such share (whether or not declared) and (ii) any such Change of Control is conditioned upon the consummation of such purchase by the Acquiror and such purchase shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the Change of Control.

 

(B)                               For purposes hereof, “Change of Control” means (i) any “person” (as such term is used in sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) (other than Robert Sillerman and his affiliates) becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined

 

4



 

in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing more than 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Corporation; provided that a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur as a result of a transaction in which the Corporation becomes a subsidiary of another corporation and in which the stockholders of the Corporation, immediately prior to the transaction, will beneficially own, immediately after the transaction, shares entitling such stockholders to more than 50% of all votes to which all stockholders of the parent corporation would be entitled in the election of directors; or (ii) the consummation of (1) a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another corporation or other entity where the stockholders of the Corporation, immediately prior to the merger or consolidation, will not beneficially own, immediately after the merger or consolidation, shares entitling such stockholders to more than 50% of all votes to which all stockholders of the surviving corporation or other surviving entity would be entitled in the election of directors; or (2) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

 

Section 8.                                           Fractional Shares.  Series A Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder’s fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, and participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Section 9.                                           Ranking.  With respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall rank senior to all Junior Securities and junior to the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

Section 10.                                    General.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any obligation of the Corporation to take any action specified herein with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the event of a Liquidation or Change of Control shall be subject to the prior compliance by the Corporation of any obligation it then has to make a Change of Control Offer (as defined in Section 4.11 of the Indenture dated as of February 4, 2014 among the Corporation, the Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee and Collateral Agent), it being understood that nothing in this Section 10 shall relieve the Corporation of its obligations under Section 7 subject to compliance with such Indenture on the earliest date practicable.

 

Section 11.                                    Amendment.  At any time any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be further amended, by merger, consolidation or otherwise, in any manner which would alter or change the powers, preferences or rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority or more of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class.

SFX Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), pursuant to the authority conferred on the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) by its Certificate of Incorporation, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 and Section 103 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, certifies that the Board of Directors, by unanimous written consent dated September 16, 2015, duly adopted the following resolution, providing for the establishment and issuance of a series of the Corporation’s preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), designated as the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” as follows:

 

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority expressly granted and vested in the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation, a series of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation be and hereby is established, consisting of 30,000 shares, to be designated “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Convertible Preferred Stock”); the Board of Directors be and hereby is authorized to issue such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock from time to time and for such consideration and on such terms as the Board of Directors shall determine; and subject to the limitations provided by law and by the Certificate of Incorporation, the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, option or other special rights of, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions upon, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be as follows:

 

Section 1.                                           Designation and Amount.  The shares of such series shall be designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 30,000.

 

Section 2.                                           Dividends and Distributions.

 

(A)                               From and after the Date of Issuance of any share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, cumulative dividends on such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board of Directors and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis in arrears at the rate of 9% per annum on the sum of the Series B Original Issue Price thereof plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends thereon. All accrued dividends on any share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be paid in cash out of funds legally available, or, with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the dividends then due (valued at the last reported bid price of the Common Stock on the day immediately preceding the date on which such dividend payment becomes due) therefor or upon a liquidation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 6; provided, that to the extent not paid on the last day of March, June, September and December of each calendar year (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”), all accrued

 



 

dividends on any share shall accumulate and compound on the applicable Dividend Payment Date whether or not declared by the Board of Directors and shall remain accumulated, compounding dividends until paid pursuant hereto or converted pursuant to Section 8; provided further, that the first Dividend Payment Date will begin on December 31, 2015.  Unless the prior written consent of holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is obtained, all accrued and accumulated dividends on the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be prior and in preference to any dividend on any Junior Securities and shall be fully declared and paid before any dividends are declared and paid, or any other distributions, repurchases or redemptions are made, on any Junior Securities, other than (a) to repurchase Common Stock held by employees or consultants of the Corporation upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase, up to an aggregate purchase price of no more than $1,000,000 within any 12-month period or (b) repurchases of Junior Securities in accordance with and pursuant to definitive agreements in effect as of the Date of Issuance.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Corporation shall not issue any shares of Common Stock as dividends pursuant to this Section 2(A) and a holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not have the right to receive any shares of Common Stock issued as a divided pursuant to this Section 2(A) to the extent that, upon giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its Affiliates, including any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8 hereof, exceeds 19.99% of the Common Stock or 19.99% of the voting power of the Corporation (calculated in accordance with the applicable NASDAQ rules and regulations) (the “Issuance Limitation”), unless the Corporation obtains the requisite shareholder approval under the NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635(d), in which case, the Issuance Limitation shall no longer apply to such holder.

 

(B)                               Participating Dividends. Subject to Section 2(A), in addition to the dividends accruing on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2(A) hereof, if the Corporation declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, whether such dividend or distribution is payable in cash, securities or other property, including the purchase or redemption by the Corporation of shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or property, but excluding (i) any dividend or distribution payable on the Common Stock solely in shares of Common Stock and (ii) any repurchases of Common Stock held by employees or consultants of the Corporation upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase, up to an aggregate purchase price of no more than $1,000,000 within any 12-month period or any repurchases in accordance with and pursuant to definitive agreements in effect as of the Date of Issuance, the Corporation shall simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis with the Common Stock determined on an as-converted basis assuming all shares had been converted pursuant to Section 8 as of immediately prior to the record date of the applicable dividend (or if no record date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined).

 

(C)                               Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays less than the total amount of dividends then accrued and accumulated with respect to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such payment shall be distributed pro rata among the holders

thereof based upon the aggregate accrued and accumulated but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by each such holder.

Section 4.                                           Certain Restrictions.

 

(A)                               Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not earned or declared, on shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not without the prior written consent of holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock:

 

(i)                                     declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Junior Securities, other than repurchases of Junior Securities in accordance with and pursuant to definitive agreements in effect prior to the Date of Issuance;

 

(ii)                                  declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; or

 

(iii)                               redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of Junior Securities.

 

(B)                               The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under Paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

capital stock of the Corporation), that ranks superior to or in parity with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in rights, preferences or privileges (including with respect to dividends and liquidation); or

 

(ii)                                  increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or authorize the issuance of or issue any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, other than issuances pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement between the Corporation and the Purchasers (as defined therein) dated on or about September 17, 2015;

 

Section 5.                                           Reacquired Shares.  Any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof.  All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

 

Section 6.                                           Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.

 

(A)                               In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation (collectively with a Deemed Liquidation, a “Liquidation”), the holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, before any payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Liquidation Value of all shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder.

 

The occurrence of a Change of Control (such event, a “Deemed Liquidation”) shall be deemed a Liquidation for purposes of this Section 6. Upon the consummation of any such Deemed Liquidation, the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall, in consideration for cancellation of their shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, be entitled to the same rights such holders are entitled to under this Section 6 upon the occurrence of a Liquidation, including the right to receive the full preferential payment from the Corporation of the amounts payable with respect to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock under Section 6(A) hereof plus the then present value at such time of all required dividend payments due on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2(A) through the date that is eighteen (18) months prior to the Initial Conversion Date, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points. A “Change of Control” shall mean (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is a constituent party or a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation; or (2) if the surviving or

 

4



 

resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation; (b) any sale, transfer or issuance (or series of sales, transfers or issuances) of capital stock by the Corporation or the holders of Common Stock (or of other voting stock of the Corporation) of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation; or (c) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not include a transaction whereby Robert Sillerman and his affiliates become “beneficial owners” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of securities of the Corporation representing more than 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Corporation (an “Excluded Transaction”).

 

(B)                               In furtherance of the foregoing, the Corporation shall take such actions as are necessary to give effect to the provisions of Section 6 including, without limitation, (i) in the case of a Change of Control structured as a merger, consolidation or similar reorganization, causing the definitive agreement relating to such transaction to provide for a rate at which the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are converted into or exchanged for cash, new securities or other property, or (ii) in the case of a Change of Control structured as an asset sale or a transfer of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, as promptly as practicable following such transaction, either dissolving the Corporation and distributing the assets of the Corporation in accordance with applicable law or redeeming all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and, in the case of both (i) and (ii), giving effect to the preferences and priorities of set forth in this Section 6. The Corporation shall promptly provide to the holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock such information concerning the terms of such Change of Control, and the value of the assets of the Corporation as may reasonably be requested by the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The amount deemed distributed to the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock upon any such Change of Control in consideration for the shares held by such holders shall be the cash or fair market value of the securities or other property distributed to such holders in such Change of Control transaction.

 

(C)                               If upon any Liquidation the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock the full preferential amount to which they are entitled under Section 6, (a) the holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation in proportion to the respective full preferential amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in the aggregate upon such Liquidation if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full, and (b) the Corporation shall not make or agree to make any payments to the holders of shares of Junior Securities.

(D)                               In the event of any Liquidation, the Corporation shall, within ten (10) days of the date the Board of Directors approves such action, or no later than twenty (20) days of any stockholders’ meeting called to approve such action, or within twenty (20) days of the commencement of any involuntary proceeding, whichever is earlier, give each holder of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock written notice of the proposed action. Such written notice shall describe the material terms and conditions of such proposed action, including a description of the stock, cash and property to be received by the holders of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock upon consummation of the proposed action and the date of delivery thereof.  If any material change in the facts set forth in the initial notice shall occur, the Corporation shall promptly give written notice to each holder of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of such material change.

 

(E)                                If an Excluded Transaction occurs, to the extent the lowest price paid for a share of Common Stock in such Excluded Transaction (the “ET Price”) is less than the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect immediately prior to such Excluded Transaction, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to the ET Price. Subject to the Indenture (as defined below), upon any conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock by a holder as of or following the closing of an Excluded Transaction such holder of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be promptly paid in cash, for each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock then converted, the then present value at such time of all required dividend payments due on such share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2(A) through the date that is eighteen (18) months prior to the Initial Conversion Date, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points; provided, however, that the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will not be entitled to such present value with respect to shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock that have not been converted.  If the cash amount required by the previous sentence is not made as required as a result of a limitation in the Indenture, the Corporation shall immediately issue to the relevant holder a number of shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the cash amount that has not been paid subject to the Issuance Limitation and the limitations set forth in Section 8(K) below; provided that the Corporation shall issue any shares not issued as a result of the Issuance Limitation and the limitations set forth in Section 8(K) below as soon as practicable when such limitations no longer would prohibit such issuance.

 

(F)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any obligation of the Corporation with respect to the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock arising due to a Liquidation or an Excluded Transaction shall be subject in all respects to the Corporation’s compliance with its obligations to make a Change of Control Offer (as such term is defined in Section 4.11 of the Indenture dated as of February 4, 2014 among the Corporation, the Guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee and Collateral Agent (the “Indenture”).

Section 8.                                           Conversion.

 

(A)                               Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, at any time and from time to time on or after the Date of Issuance, any holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right

by written election to the Corporation to convert all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder along with the aggregate accrued or accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon into an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by (i) multiplying the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted by the Series B Original Issue Price, (ii) adding to the result all accrued and accumulated or declared and unpaid dividends on such shares to be converted, and then (ii) dividing the result by the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such conversion. The initial conversion price per share (the “Conversion Price”) shall be $1.75, subject to adjustment as applicable in accordance with Section 8(I) and Section 8(J) below.

 

(B)                               Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, on the date that is thirty-six (36) months from the date hereof (the “Initial Conversion Date”) and on the date that is three, six, nine and twelve months following the Initial Conversion Date (each, an “Automatic Conversion Date”), twenty percent of the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by each stockholder (rounded down to the nearest whole share) shall automatically convert (with all remaining outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock converting on the final Automatic Conversion Date) along with the aggregate accrued or accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares to be converted into an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by (i) multiplying the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted by the Series B Original Issue Price, (ii) adding to the result all accrued and accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares to be converted, and then (ii) dividing the result by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect.

 

(C)                               No fractional interest in a share of Common Stock shall be issued on conversion of any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 8(A) and Section 8(B). In lieu of delivering fractional shares, the Corporation shall pay in cash an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional share multiplied by (ii) the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

(D)                               In order to effectuate a conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8(A), a holder shall (a) submit a written election to the Corporation that such holder elects to convert shares, the number of shares elected to be converted and (b) surrender, along with such written election, to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the shares being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto) or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or missing, accompanied by an affidavit of loss executed by the holder. The conversion of such shares hereunder shall be deemed effective as of the date of surrender of such Series B Convertible Preferred Stock certificate or certificates or delivery of such affidavit of loss. Upon the receipt by the Corporation of a written election and the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials, the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within three (3) trading days thereafter) deliver to the relevant holder (a) a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable shares as calculated pursuant to Section 8(A) and, if applicable (b) a certificate in such holder’s (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the

 

7



 

written election) for the number of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates delivered to the Corporation for conversion but otherwise not elected to be converted pursuant to the written election.  All shares of capital stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

(E)                                In accordance with Section 8(B), on each Automatic Conversion Date, all outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted on such date shall be converted to the number of shares of Common Stock calculated pursuant to Section 8(B) without any further action by the relevant holder of such shares or the Corporation. As promptly as practicable following each Automatic Conversion Date (but in any event within three (3) trading days thereafter), the Corporation shall send each holder of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock written notice of such event. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder shall surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the shares being converted, duly assigned or endorsed for transfer to the Corporation (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers relating thereto) or, in the event the certificate or certificates are lost, stolen or missing, accompanied by an affidavit of loss executed by the holder. Upon the surrender of such certificate(s) and accompanying materials, the Corporation shall as promptly as practicable (but in any event within three (3) trading days thereafter) deliver to the relevant holder a certificate in such holder’s name (or the name of such holder’s designee as stated in the written election) for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon conversion of the applicable shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock issued hereunder by the Corporation shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

(F)                                 All shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock converted as provided in this Section 8shall no longer be deemed outstanding as of the effective time of the applicable conversion and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate as of such time, other than the right of the holder to receive shares of Common Stock and payment in lieu of any fraction of a share in exchange therefor.

 

(G)                               The Corporation shall at all times when any shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8, taking into account any adjustment to such number of shares so issuable as provided herein.  The Corporation shall take all such reasonable actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance).

 

8



 

(H)                              The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8(A) or Section 8(B) shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge, cost or tax to, the holder in respect thereof.

 

(I)                                   Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8 hereof and a holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall not have the right to convert shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 8 hereof to the extent that, upon giving effect to such conversion, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its Affiliates, including any shares issued as a dividend pursuant to Section 2(A) above, exceeds the Issuance Limitation, unless the Corporation obtains the requisite shareholder approval under the NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 5635(d), in which case, the Issuance Limitation shall no longer apply to such holder.

 

(J)                                   Adjustment to Conversion Price and Number of Conversion Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section 8 the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable on conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 8(J).

 

(i)                                     Adjustment to Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 8(J)(iii) and except in the case of an event described in either Section 8(J)(v) or Section 8(J)(vi), if the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 8(J)(iv) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), then immediately upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale), the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to a Conversion Price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the sum of (x) the product obtained by multiplying the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) by the Conversion Price then in effect plus (y) the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Corporation upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale); by (b) the sum of (x) the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) plus (y) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold) by the Corporation in such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale).
 
Whenever following the Date of Issuance, the Corporation shall issue or sell, or in accordance with Section 8(J)(iv) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall prepare a certificate signed by an executive officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the number of shares issued or sold, or deemed issued or sold, the amount and the form of the consideration received by the Corporation and the method of computation of such amount and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed to

 

9



 

the holders of record of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such holder).

 

(ii)           Adjustment to Number of Conversion Shares Upon Adjustment to Conversion Price. Upon any and each adjustment of the Conversion Price as provided in Section 8(J), the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Conversion Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the product of (x) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustment multiplied by (y) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such adjustment; by (b) the Conversion Price resulting from such adjustment.

 

(iii)          Exceptions To Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Stock. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no adjustment to the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to any Excluded Issuance.

 

(iv)          Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Conversion Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under Section 8(J)(i) hereof, the following shall be applicable:

 

(a)           Issuance of Options. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 8(J)(iv)(e)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price under Section 8(J)(i)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 8(J)(i)) of (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (2) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration

 

10



 

payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (3), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(J)(iv)(c), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

 

(b)           Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, in any manner grant or sell (whether directly or by assumption in a merger or otherwise) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this paragraph and in Section 8 (J)(iv)(e)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 8(J)(i)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 8(J)(i)), of (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (2) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(J)(iv)(c), (x) no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (y) no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the

 

11



 

Conversion Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 8(J)(iv).

 

(c)           Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon any change in any of (1) the total amount received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 8(J)(iv)(a) or Section 8(J)(iv)(b) hereof, (2) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 8(J)(iv)(a) or Section 8(J)(iv)(b) hereof, (2) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 8(J)(iv)(a) or Section 8(J)(iv)(b) hereof are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 8(J)(iv)(a) hereof or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 8(J)(iv)(b) hereof (in each case, other than in connection with an Excluded Issuance), then (whether or not the original issuance or sale of such Options or Convertible Securities resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 8(J)) the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted or readjusted, as applicable, to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8(J) had such Options or Convertible Securities still outstanding provided for such changed consideration, conversion rate or maximum number of shares, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold, but only if as a result of such adjustment or readjustment the Conversion Price then in effect is reduced, and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to any such adjustment or readjustment shall be correspondingly adjusted or readjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(J)(ii).

 

(d)           Treatment of Expired or Terminated Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or any unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) for which any adjustment (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) was made pursuant to this Section 8(J) (including without limitation upon the redemption or purchase for consideration of all or any portion of such Option or Convertible Security by the Corporation), the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder shall forthwith be changed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8(J) to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such expiration or termination had such unexercised Option (or portion thereof) or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security

 

12



 

(or portion thereof), to the extent outstanding immediately prior to such expiration or termination, never been issued.

 

(e)           Calculation of Consideration Received. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, issue or sell, or is deemed to have issued or sold in accordance with Section 8(J)(iv), any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities: (1) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Corporation therefor; (2) for consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Corporation shall be the market price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (3) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Corporation, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of the consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (4) to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Corporation is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners. The net amount of any cash consideration and the fair value of any consideration other than cash or marketable securities shall be determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

 

(f)            Record Date. For purposes of any adjustment to the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion Shares in accordance with this Section 8(J), in case the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be; provided, that if before the distribution to its holders of Common Stock the Corporation legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution,

 

13



 

subscription or purchase rights, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.

 

(g)           Treasury Shares. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 8(J).

 

(v)           Adjustment to Conversion Price and Conversion Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Corporation shall, at any time or from time to time after the Date of Issuance, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Corporation payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased. If the Corporation at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 8(J)(v) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(vi)          Adjustment to Conversion Price and Conversion Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger. In the event of any (1) capital reorganization of the Corporation, (2) reclassification of the stock of the Corporation (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), (3) consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, (4) sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person or (5) other similar transaction (other than any such transaction covered by Section 8(J)(v) and other than a Liquidation, in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall, immediately after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Conversion Shares then convertible for such share, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the

 

14



 

Corporation or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which such share would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction if the share had been converted in full immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction and acquired the applicable number of Conversion Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such conversion (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of such share, if any); and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the holder of such share) shall be made with respect to such holder’s rights under this Certificate of Designation to insure that the provisions of this Section 8 hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Corporation, an immediate adjustment in the Conversion Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Conversion Shares acquirable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock without regard to any limitations or restrictions on conversion, if the value so reflected is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction). The provisions of this Section 8(J)(vi) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or similar transactions. The Corporation shall not effect any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction unless, prior to the consummation thereof, the successor Person (if other than the Corporation) resulting from such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or similar transaction, shall assume, by written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designation (in form and substance satisfactory to the holder of such share), the obligation to deliver to the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock such shares of stock, securities or assets which, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders shall be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8(J)(vi), each holder of shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to give effect to the provisions of Section 6(A) (if applicable to such event or transaction) or Section 8 hereunder, instead of giving effect to the provisions contained in this Section 8(J)(vi) with respect to such holder’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

(vii)         Certificate as to Adjustment.

 

(a)           As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Conversion Price, but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to each holder of record of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the address specified for such

 

15



 

holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such holder) a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.

 

(b)           As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Corporation of a written request by any holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, the Corporation shall furnish to such holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Conversion Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable to such holder upon conversion of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder.

 

(viii)        Notices. In the event:

 

(a)           that the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, to vote at a meeting (or by written consent), to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or

 

(b)           of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, or sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets to another Person; or

 

(c)           of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation;

 

then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall send or cause to be sent to each holder of record of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the Corporation (or at such other address as may be provided to the Corporation in writing by such holder) at least ten (10) days prior to the applicable record date or the applicable expected effective date, as the case may be, for the event, a written notice specifying, as the case may be, (x) the record date for such dividend, distribution, meeting or consent or other right or action, and a description of such dividend, distribution or other right or action to be taken at such meeting or by written consent, or (y) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is

 

16



 

proposed to take place, and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the books of the Corporation shall close or a record shall be taken with respect to which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the Conversion Shares.

 

(K)          Beneficial Ownership Limitation.  The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and a holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion, such holder (together with such holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series B Convertible Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 8(K), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”).  In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 8(K), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a holder, the Corporation shall within one (1) day confirm orally and in writing to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, by such holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by the applicable holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner

 

17



 

otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 8(K) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and shall cease to apply only upon sixty-one (61) days’ written notice from the holder to the Corporation of an election to increase or decrease or remove the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

 

Section 9.              Ranking.  With respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, all shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall rank senior to all Junior Securities.

 

Section 10.            Breach of Obligations.

ARTICLE I

VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY

 

Section 1.1                        Agreement to Vote.

 

(a)                                 Agreement to Vote the Subject Shares in a Recommended Transaction.  Subject to Sections 1.1(b), 1.1(c), 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4, each Stockholder hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, during the Voting Period, at any duly called meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, each Stockholder shall, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause its Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and shall vote or consent (or cause to be voted or consented), in person or by proxy, its Subject Shares (a) in favor of any Recommended Transaction (and any actions required in furtherance thereof), (b) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Stockholders contained in this Agreement, (c) in favor of the adoption of a Definitive Agreement for a Recommended Transaction, and (d) against the following actions or proposals (other than the transactions contemplated by the Definitive Agreement):  (i) any proposal in opposition to approval of a Definitive Agreement for a Recommended Transaction or in competition with or materially inconsistent with a Definitive Agreement for a Recommended Transaction; and (ii) any other action or proposal involving the Company or any subsidiary of the Company that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the transactions contemplated by a Definitive Agreement for a Recommended Transaction or could reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the Company’s obligations under a Definitive Agreement for a Recommended Transaction not being fulfilled; unless any such action or proposal is recommended by the Special Committee.

 

(b)                                 Stockholder Proposal.  In the event that one or more of the Stockholders, acting alone or with any of their respective Affiliates, together with one or more other persons, provides the Company with a Proposal to acquire the Company that is fully financed (i.e., a Proposal that has no financing condition and that includes evidence reasonably acceptable to the Special Committee of their ability to fund the Proposal in its entirety) (a “Stockholder Proposal”) prior to the Special Committee’s recommendation of a Recommended Transaction with any prospective buyer other than a Stockholder, the provisions of Section 1.1(a), 1.2 and 1.3 shall be applicable only to a Recommended Transaction from a prospective buyer that, by its terms provides that the holders of Company Common Stock would receive at closing cash consideration in an amount, or securities listed on a national securities exchange with a trading value at the time of execution of a Definitive Agreement with respect to such transaction, exceeding the consideration per share payable pursuant to the Stockholder Proposal.  Nothing in this Section 1(b) shall be construed to prohibit or otherwise limit the ability of the Stockholders to submit a Proposal at any time that contains a price per share that, by its terms provides that the holders of Company Common Stock would receive at closing cash consideration in an amount, or securities listed on a national securities exchange with a trading value at the time of execution of a Definitive Agreement with respect to such transaction, exceeding the consideration per share payable pursuant to the Definitive Agreement for a Recommended Transaction (a “Superior Stockholder Proposal”).  In the event that one or more of the Stockholders submits a Superior Stockholder Proposal that

 

2



 

is fully financed (as defined in the parenthetical in the first sentence of this Section 1(b)), the provisions of Section 1.1(a), 1.2 and 1.3 shall be applicable only to a Recommended Transaction from a prospective buyer that, by its terms provides that the holders of Company Common Stock would receive at closing cash consideration in an amount, or securities listed on a national securities exchange with a trading value at the time of execution of a Definitive Agreement with respect to such transaction, exceeding the consideration per share payable pursuant to the Superior Stockholder Proposal.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sections 1.1(a), 1.2 and 1.3 shall be applicable only to a Recommended Transaction if prior to or concurrently with the execution of the Definitive Agreement with respect thereto, the Company and or the buyer shall have entered into arrangements to provide for (x) the termination or replacement of all then outstanding Sillerman Credit Supports, and the release of all collateral posted pursuant thereto, (y) the release of the Stockholders and their respective Affiliates from any and all support obligations under the Sillerman Credit Supports and (z) the reimbursement of the Stockholders and their respective Affiliates for all unreimbursed payments made by them in respect of the Sillerman Credit Supports.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the amounts set forth on Exhibit A under the caption “Outstanding Unreimbursed Payments” constitute all such unreimbursed payments as of the date of this Agreement, and (ii) any such amounts that are reimbursed prior to the execution of the Definitive Agreement with respect to a Recommended Transaction shall be deemed removed from Exhibit A immediately upon such reimbursement.  As of the date of this Agreement, “Sillerman Credit Supports” means the guaranties of obligations of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries provided by the Stockholders and listed on Exhibit A hereto.

 

(d)                                 No Contrary Agreements.  Subject to Section 1.4, each Stockholder agrees not to, and shall cause its Representatives not to, enter into any agreement, commitment or arrangement with any Person the effect of which would be inconsistent with or violative of the provisions and agreements contained in this Article I.

 

Section 1.2                                    Grant of Irrevocable Proxy.  Each Stockholder hereby appoints the Company and any designee of the Company, and as each Stockholder’s agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution in the premises, to vote or act by written consent during the Voting Period with respect to any and all of the Subject Shares in accordance with Section 1.1, in each case subject to the receipt of any requisite regulatory approvals, if required.  Each Stockholder shall promptly cause a copy of this Agreement to be deposited with the Company at its principal place of business.  Each Stockholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy.  Each Stockholder affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Article II is given in connection with, and in consideration of, the Company’s agreement to conduct the sale process, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to the Company by each Stockholder to secure the performance of the duties of each Stockholder under this Agreement.

Section 1.3                                    Nature of Irrevocable Proxy.  The proxy and power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 1.2 to the Company by each Stockholder shall (a) be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, (b) be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, (c) revoke any and all prior proxies and powers of attorney granted by each Stockholder with respect to the Subject Shares and (d) not give any subsequent proxy or power of attorney with respect to the Subject Shares, other than a proxy necessary to permit each Stockholder to comply with Section 1.1.  The power of attorney granted by each Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of each Stockholder and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns of each Stockholder.  The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.  It is agreed that the Company and any designee of the Company shall use the irrevocable proxy granted hereby only in accordance with applicable law.  For the avoidance of doubt, the vote of the Company or any designee of the Company shall control in any conflict between the vote by the Company or any designee of the Company of the Subject Shares and any other vote by Stockholder of the Subject Shares.

 

Section 1.4                                    Action in Stockholder Capacity Only.  The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is entered into by each Stockholder in his or its capacity as an owner of Subject Shares and that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit any Stockholder from taking or authorizing any action or inaction in his or its capacity as a director, officer or other fiduciary of the Company.  Further, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any obligation or limitation on votes or actions taken by any director, officer, general partner, member, employee, agent or other representative (collectively, “Representatives”) of Stockholder in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company.

 

COVENANTS

 

Section 1.5                                    Generally.

(b)                                 In the event of a stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of shares or the like, the term “Subject Shares” shall be

(b)                                 Such Stockholder shall not, nor shall such Stockholder permit any Representative of such Stockholder to, nor shall such Stockholder act in concert with or permit any Representative of such Stockholder to act in concert with any person to, deposit any of the Subject Shares in a voting trust or subject any of the Subject Shares to any arrangement or agreement with any person with respect to the voting of the Subject Shares, in each case that would be inconsistent with such Stockholder’s obligations under Section 1.1 of this Agreement.

 

Section 1.7                                    Appraisal Rights.  Each Stockholder agrees not to seek appraisal or assert any rights of dissent from any Recommended Transaction that it may have under Section 262 of the DGCL (or otherwise) and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Stockholder hereby waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from any Recommended Transaction that it may have under Section 262 of the DGCL.

(a)                                 Purchaser, taking into account the personnel and resources it can practically bring to bear on the purchase of the Shares contemplated hereby, is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make, decisions with respect to investments in securities presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Shares, including investments in securities issued by the Company, and has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information Purchaser deems relevant (including the SEC Documents) in making an informed decision to purchase the Shares.

(f)                                   Purchaser has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.  Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser, this Agreement shall each constitute a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) as limited by equitable principles generally, including any specific performance.

 

(g)                                  Purchaser is not a broker or dealer registered pursuant to Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a “registered broker-dealer”) and is not affiliated with a registered broker dealer.  Purchaser is not party to any agreement for distribution of any of the Shares.

 

5.2                          Each Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.  Each Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares.

 

5.3                          Legends.

 

(a)                                 Each Purchaser understands that, until such time as the Shares or Conversion Shares have been sold pursuant to a registration statement or the Shares or Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Shares or Conversion Shares may bear one or more legends in substantially the following form and substance:

 

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED, HYPOTHECATED OR

 

10



 

OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, SUCH REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.”

 

In addition stock certificates representing the Shares or Conversion Shares may contain:

 

(i)                                     Any legend required by the blue sky laws of any other state to the extent such laws are applicable to the sale of such Shares or Conversion Shares hereunder.

 

(ii)                                  A legend regarding affiliate status, if applicable.

 

(b)                                 Removal of Legends.  Upon receipt of written notice from a Purchaser, the receipt by the Company of a representation letter from such Purchaser and an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the legend set forth in Section 5.3(a) above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend or any other legend to the holder of the applicable Shares or Conversion Shares upon which it is stamped or issue to such holder by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), if (i) such Shares or Conversion Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company), or (ii) such Shares or Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions.  Following Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of Shares or Conversion Shares, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, upon written request of a Purchaser and receipt by the Company of a representation letter reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall cause Company counsel to issue to the transfer agent for the shares of Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”) a legal opinion acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent relating to the removal of such legend.  Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, Company counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company.  Subject to the receipt of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, following such time as a legend is no longer required for certain Shares or Conversion Shares, the Company will no later than three (3) trading days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing Shares or Conversion Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer), and an opinion of counsel to the extent required by Section 5.3(a) (such third (3rd) trading day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate

 

11



 

representing such Shares or Conversion Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  Certificates for Shares or Conversion Shares subject to legend removal hereunder may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to a Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC as directed by the Purchaser.

 

5.4                          Restricted Securities.  Each Purchaser understands that the Shares and any Conversion Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Shares or Conversion Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.  In this connection, each Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

5.5                          Furnishing of Information.  In order to enable a Purchaser to sell the Shares or Conversion Shares under Rule 144, for so long as the Purchaser holds any Shares or Conversion Shares, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act. During such period, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchaser to sell the Shares or Conversion Shares under Rule 144.

(n)                                 Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Company shall have the privilege to postpone, for one time only, the filing of a Registration Statement and/or any prospectus, for a reasonable period of time (not exceeding 90 days) if the Company furnishes each Holder with a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that, in its good faith judgment, the Company’s board of directors has determined that effecting the registration or filing such prospectus at such time would adversely affect a material financing, acquisition, disposition of assets or shares, merger or other comparable transaction or would require the Company to make public disclosure of information the public disclosure of which would have a material adverse effect upon the Company.

 

19



 

12.5                   The Holders shall have no right to take any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay any registration pursuant to Section 12.2 hereof as a result of any controversy that may arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.

(a)                                 To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Holder and each Person controlling, or alleged to control, such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each Holder’s officers, directors, employees and agents, successors and assigns, with respect to which any registration that has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or action in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 12.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereof, or other document incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each Holder and each Person controlling, or alleged to control, such Holder and each Holder’s officers, directors, employees and agents, successors and assigns, for reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of and relating to such Holder for use in preparation of any Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement.

 

(b)                                 Each Holder will severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 12.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse the Company, such directors officers, employees and agents and each Person controlling the Company for reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of and relating to the Holder for use in preparation of any Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or

supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder’s aggregate liability pursuant to this subsection (b) and subsection (d) shall be limited to the net amount received by the Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities.

 

(c)                                  Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 12.6 (the “Indemnitee”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnitor”) promptly after such Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnitor (at its expense) to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnitor, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnitee (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnitee may participate in such defense at such Indemnitee’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnitee to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnitor in defending such claim or litigation. An Indemnitor shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnitor, in its defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

(d)                                 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 12.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnitee with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnitor, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitor on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnitor and of the Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnitor or by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder together with any indemnification obligation under this Section 12.6 be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

 

12.7                   Cooperation.

 

(a)                                 Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to a prospectus relating to Registrable Securities so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, each Holder will forthwith use its reasonable efforts to discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 12.2

 

21



 

until its receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

 

(b)                                 As a condition to the inclusion of its Registrable Securities, each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing as shall be necessary to complete the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any registration referred to in this Section 12.

 

(c)                                  At the end of the Registration Period the Holders shall discontinue sales of shares pursuant to any Registration Statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention to remove from registration the shares covered by any such Registration Statement which remain unsold, and such Holders shall notify the Company of the number of shares registered which remain unsold immediately upon receipt of such notice from the Company.

 

12.8                   With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, so long as the Holders still own Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to:

 

(a)                                 make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times;

 

(b)                                 file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

 

(c)                                  so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

 

12.9                   The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to each Purchaser by the Company under Section 12.2 may be assigned by any Purchaser in connection with a transfer by such Purchaser of all or a portion of its Registrable Securities, provided, however, that such transferee agrees in writing to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Holder.

 

12.10            The rights of any Holder under any provision of this Section 12 may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended by an instrument in writing signed by such Holder.

NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT

For Immediate Release

 

SFX SECURES $90 MILLION IN NEW FINANCING

 

Includes $60 million in incremental funding and $30 million
to refinance its revolving credit facility

 

Growth capital comes from both new and existing investors,
reflecting confidence in SFX’s initiatives

 

New York, September 17, 2015 — SFX Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFXE) (the “Company”) announced today that it has secured $60 million in new financing and refinanced its existing $30 million revolving credit facility, securing capital for new initiatives and operating and working capital needs.

 

The $90 million comes from both new and existing investors, with $60 million in private placement financing and $30 million in a revolving credit facility.

 

“This round of financing from these sophisticated investors reflects a level of confidence and provides growth capital to support many of the exciting new initiatives SFX is undertaking,” said Robert F.X. Sillerman, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “While the Company continues to explore strategic alternatives, this solidifies SFX for the short and long term, so we can focus on producing great festivals and events and operating globally recognized digital properties.”

 

Additionally, the Company’s special committee and its advisors continue to accept proposals for the entire company, as well as assets not central to its core business, with a deadline of October 2, 2015.

 

The $60 million private placement financing consists of:

 

·                  The sale of $30 million in Senior Convertible Preferred Stock to an institutional investor.  The Senior Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.75 per share and pays a 9 percent cash dividend; and,

 

·                  The sale of $30 million in Junior Preferred Stock to Sillerman Investment Partners III LLC, an entity controlled by Sillerman.  This is comprised of a completed purchase of $15 million of the Junior Preferred Stock and a fully-committed obligation by Sillerman Investment Partners to purchase an additional $15 million over the next 30 days.  The Junior Preferred Stock pays dividends in kind at 29.5 percent for two years and will pay a 9 percent cash dividend afterwards.

 



 

Concurrently with the private placement, the Company entered into an agreement with GoldenTree Asset Management LP, an asset management company specializing in corporate and structured credit markets, whereby the Company’s existing lenders have assigned to GoldenTree their interest in the Company’s existing $30 million revolving credit facility.

 

Richard Rosenstein, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of the Company, commented, “Together, these transactions immediately improve our financial position by providing us with additional operating and working capital.  We value these investors’ confidence in our business and equally appreciate the commitment made by GoldenTree through the assumption of our revolving credit facility.  With the success of many of our festivals in the current quarter and this added financial flexibility, SFX is better positioned to continue growing our powerful brands and support our extraordinary team members who are focused on executing on our strategic plans. This also eliminates all operating distractions as we explore proposals from interested strategic partners.”

 

Additional details of the above noted transactions will be available in a Form 8-K that the Company will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
