In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, on April 4, 2013, the Company, Azteca and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), a New York corporation, entered into the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment of Warrant Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment of Warrant Agreement, (i) each warrant to purchase Azteca common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction became exercisable for one-half of the number of shares of common stock of Azteca at an exercise price of $6.00 per half-share (the “Amended Azteca Warrants”), (ii) each holder of Azteca warrants received, for each such warrant held (in exchange for the reduction of shares for which such warrants were exercisable), $0.50 in cash, (iii) the obligation to reduce the warrant price upon the occurrence of certain transactions in which the consideration to be received includes securities of a private company was removed to permit the Amended Azteca Warrants to be treated as equity for reporting purposes and (iv) the warrants issued in Azteca’s initial public offering became exercisable on a “cashless basis” at the election of Azteca under certain circumstances. Upon consummation of the Transaction, each Amended Azteca Warrant was converted into an equal number of Hemisphere warrants and became exercisable for shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock on the same terms as were in effect with respect to such Amended Azteca Warrants immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction.
