Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons purchased the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes, and such purchases have been made in the ordinary course of business of the Reporting Persons.

In pursuing such investment purposes, the Reporting Persons may further purchase, hold, vote, trade, dispose or otherwise deal in the Common Stock at times, and in such manner, as they deem advisable to benefit from, among other things, (1) changes in the market prices of the shares of Common Stock; (2) changes in the Issuer’s operations, business strategy or prospects; or (3) from the sale or merger of the Issuer. To evaluate such alternatives, the Reporting Persons will closely monitor the Issuer’s operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure, and prevailing market conditions, as well as other economic, securities markets and investment considerations. Consistent with their investment research methods and evaluation criteria, the Reporting Persons may discuss such matters with the Issuer’s management or the Board, other stockholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit, and other investors. Such evaluations and discussions may materially affect, and result in, among other things, the Reporting Persons (1) modifying their ownership of the Common Stock; (2) exchanging information with the Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; (3) proposing changes in the Issuer’s operations, governance (including the composition of the Board and the Issuer’s management) or capitalization; (4) pursuing a transaction that would result in the Reporting Persons’ acquisition of all or a controlling interest in the Issuer; or (5) pursuing one or more of the other actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Page 10 of 13


In addition to the information disclosed in this Statement, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to (1) formulate other plans and proposals; (2) take any actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; and (3) acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, in each case in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.

The Reporting Persons believe that substantial and immediate change is needed at the Issuer. In support of this belief, on April 26, 2019, the Reporting Persons commenced a process to call a special meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (a “Special Meeting”). If a Special Meeting is called, the Reporting Persons intended to present a number of matters to a vote of stockholders, including (1) the removal of all of the Issuer’s current directors; (2) the election of five highly qualified, independent directors; and (3) substantial improvements to the Issuer’s corporate governance. In order to call a Special Meeting, the Reporting Persons must deliver written special meeting requests from the holders of at least 25 percent of the Common Stock. The press release issued by the Reporting Persons concerning the foregoing is attached as Exhibit 3 and is incorporated by reference.

On April 26, 2019, the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement (the “Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement”) in which, among other things, the Reporting Persons agreed to (1) the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D, and any amendments thereto, with respect to the securities of the Company; and (2) form a “group” for the purpose of, among other things, soliciting proxies or consents at one or more annual or special meetings of the stockholders of the Issuer. The foregoing description of the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated by reference.

Camac intends to engage in discussions with the Board and the Issuer’s management regarding representation on the Board for Camac and the composition of the Board generally. The Reporting Persons will, if necessary, pursue the election of candidates to the Board at the Issuer’s next annual meeting of stockholders.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover pages of this Statement are incorporated by reference. As of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on April 26, 2019, (1) Camac beneficially owned 1,766,499 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 6.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; (2) Mr. McMillan beneficially owned 63,385 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 0.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (3) no other Reporting Person beneficially owned shares of Common Stock.

Camac Capital, as the general partner of Camac Fund, may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Camac Fund, and may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of such shares. Camac Capital disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares for all other purposes.

Camac Partners, as the investment manager of Camac Fund, may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Camac Fund, and may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of such shares.

To the knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, other than as set forth above, none of the persons named in Item 2 is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock.

Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by the other Reporting Persons. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.

(c) Except as set forth in Schedule A, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock in the 60 days prior to the date of this Statement.

Exhibit 1

JOINT FILING AND SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

This joint filing and solicitation agreement (this “Agreement”), dated April 26, 2019, is between (a) Camac Fund, LP, Camac Partners, LLC, Camac Capital, LLC and Eric Shahinian (collectively, the “Camac Entities”); and (b) Michael Cricenti, Simeon McMillan, Adam Pincus and Bradley M. Tirpak. The parties to this Agreement are each referred to as a “Party.”

RECITALS

A. Certain of the Parties are stockholders, direct or beneficial, of Liberated Syndication, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).

B. The Parties wish to form a “group” for the purpose of: (a) soliciting proxies or consents at one or more annual or special meetings of the stockholders of the Company or actions by written consent; (b) taking such other actions as the Parties deem advisable; and (c) taking all other action necessary or advisable in connection with the foregoing (collectively, the “Group Activities”).

AGREEMENT

The Parties therefore agree as follows:

1. Joint Filing. In accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), each Party agrees to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D, and any amendments thereto, with respect to the securities of the Company (including, options to purchase or sell securities of the Company, and swaps, synthetics and other derivative securities or instruments the value of which is solely and directly related to equity securities of the Company) (collectively, “Securities”). Each Party will be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of such Party’s disclosure in any such filing, and is not responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information concerning the other Parties, unless such Party knows or has reason to know that such information is inaccurate.

2. Notification; Pre-clearance.

(a) Notification of Transactions. So long as this Agreement is in effect, each of the Parties will provide prompt written notice to Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation (“WSGR”) of any (a) purchases or sales of Securities; or (b) Securities over which they acquire or dispose of beneficial ownership. Such notice will be given no later than 12 hours after each such transaction. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “beneficial ownership” will have the meaning given to such term set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.


(b) Pre-clearance of Transactions. So long as this agreement is in effect, each of Messrs. Cricenti, McMillan, Pincus and Tirpak agrees to provide the Camac Entities with advance written notice prior to effecting any purchase, sale, acquisition or disposal of any securities of the Company so that the Camac Entities have an opportunity to review the potential implications of any such transaction in the securities of the Company and pre-clear any such potential transaction. Each of Messrs. Cricenti, McMillan, Pincus and Tirpak agrees that he will not undertake or effect any purchase, sale, acquisition or disposal of any securities of the Company without the prior written consent of the Camac Entities.

3. Purpose. The Parties agree to form a “group” for the purpose of undertaking the Group Activities.

4. Costs. The Parties agree that certain expenses and costs (including all legal fees) are likely to be incurred in connection with the Group Activities (the “Expenses”). The Camac Entities will (a) have the right to pre-approve all Expenses; and (b) pay directly (using any pro rata allocations among the Camac Entities, if appropriate) all such pre-approved Expenses. Camac will be responsible for paying the Expenses.

5. Coordination. Each of Party agrees that any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, press release, public or private communication, or any proposed agreement or negotiating position of the Parties proposed to be made or issued by the Parties (or any of them) in connection with the Group Activities must be first approved by the Camac Entities or their representatives. The Parties will work in good faith to resolve any disagreement that may arise between them concerning decisions to be made, actions to be taken or statements to be made in connection with the Group Activities.

6. Limited Relationship. The relationship of the Parties will be limited to carrying on the Group Activities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such relationship will be construed and deemed to be for the sole and limited purpose of carrying on the Group Activities. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to authorize any Party to act as an agent for any other Party, or to create a joint venture or partnership, or to constitute an indemnification. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement will not restrict any Party’s right to purchase or sell Securities as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, so long as all such purchases and sales are made in compliance with all applicable securities laws and this Agreement.

7. Termination. Any Party may terminate such Party’s obligations under this Agreement by providing 24 hours prior written notice to all other Parties, with a copy by email to Douglas K. Schnell of WSGR (email: dschnell@wsgr.com).

8. Counsel. Each of the Parties agrees that WSGR will act as counsel for the Parties and the Camac Entities as it relates to the Group Activities and their respective investment in the Company.

9. Filing Requirement. Each of the Parties agrees that this Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to any Schedule 13D that may in the future be required to be filed under applicable law pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) under the Exchange Act.

10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

11. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect, and the application of such provision to the other Parties or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

12. Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

13. Jurisdiction; Governing Law. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”) for any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and agrees not to commence any action, suit, or proceeding relating thereto except in the Chancery Court). To the extent that the Chancery Court would not have subject matter jurisdiction over any such action, suit or proceeding, each Party irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the State of Delaware (such courts, together with the Chancery Court, the “Chosen Courts”). Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in the Chosen Courts, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any Chosen Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Parties agree that a final judgment no longer subject to appeal in any such dispute will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suits on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

-3-


14. Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that (a) the Parties would be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement; and (b) monetary remedies would be inadequate to protect the non-breaching Parties against any actual or threatened breach or continuation of any breach of this Agreement. Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to the non-breaching Parties, each Party agrees to (i) the granting of equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, in the other Parties’ favor without proof of actual damages in the event of the actual or threatened breach of this Agreement; and (ii) waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedy will not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for a breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the non-breaching Parties.

15. Interpretations.

(a) Hereof, Including, etc. When used in this Agreement, (i) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; and (ii) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(b) Neither, etc. Unless the context otherwise requires, “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either” and “or” are not exclusive.

(c) Gender and Number. The meaning assigned to each capitalized term defined and used in this Agreement is equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of such term, and words denoting any gender include all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined in this Agreement, each of its other grammatical forms has a corresponding meaning. All terms defined in this Agreement will have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant to this Agreement unless otherwise defined in such certificate or document.

(d) References to Parties. When reference is made to any Party, such reference includes that Party’s successors and permitted assigns.

(e) Legislation. A reference to any specific legislation or to any provision of any legislation includes any amendment to, and any modification, re-enactment or successor thereof, any legislative provision substituted therefor and all rules, regulations and statutory instruments issued thereunder or pursuant thereto.

(f) Headings. The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience of reference purposes only and will not affect or be deemed to affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any term or provision of this Agreement.

(g) Joint Drafting. The Parties waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

Camac Initiates Process to Call for

Special Meeting of Stockholders of Liberated Syndication

– Filed Request for Special Meeting –

– To Propose the Removal of All Four Existing Directors and the Election of Five Highly

Qualified, Independent Nominees –

New York, April 26, 2019 – Camac Partners, LLC (“Camac”), the investment manager of Camac Fund, LP, announced today the filing of a special meeting request statement to call a special meeting of stockholders of Liberated Syndication, Inc. (OTCQB: LSYN) (“Libsyn”). This filing is the first step toward bringing much-needed change to Libsyn. Camac owns approximately 6.3 percent of Libsyn, and has been a stockholder since 2017.

“It is long-past time for meaningful improvements at Libsyn,” said Eric Shahinian, the founder and managing member of Camac. “The current board of directors and management team have consistently lined their own pockets at the expense of stockholders. From outsized executive pay, to massive stockholder dilution to poor capital allocation, there is simply no excuse for the current state of Libsyn. Recent actions by the board and management to further increase their own compensation and continue to dilute stockholders will not be tolerated. We are committed to improving Libsyn for the benefit of all stockholders.”

As the first stage of improving Libsyn, Camac filed a special meeting request statement to solicit the written request of at least 25 percent of Libsyn’s common stock (including the shares beneficially owned by Camac) to call a special meeting of stockholders. Once the 25 percent threshold has been reached, Camac will formally request the special meeting and send proxy materials urging stockholders to vote in favor of the proposals that Camac intends to be considered at the special meeting. Camac currently intends to present proposals to remove Libsyn’s four existing directors, elect five highly qualified, independent nominees, and enact other needed governance improvements.

“We think that all existing directors should be removed,” said Mr. Shahinian. “In addition, we are proposing the election of five highly qualified, independent nominees. We believe that our nominees—Michael Cricenti, Simeon McMillan, Adam Pincus, Eric Shahinian and Bradley M. Tirpak—will bring needed discipline to Libsyn and an unwavering commitment to stockholder value.”

Continued Mr. Shahinian, “We strongly caution Libsyn and its board of directors against taking any actions that might interfere with the will of stockholders or otherwise prevent stockholders from having a say in the future of their company. We will do everything necessary to ensure that stockholders—the true owners of Libsyn—have the opportunity to fully and fairly consider our proposals.”
