Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 22, 2013, Chyron Corporation ("Chyron" or the "Company") completed its acquisition of Hego Aktiebolag ("Hego"), a global graphics services company based in Stockholm, Sweden that develops real-time graphics products and tools for the broadcast and sports industries.  We previously disclosed our entry into a definitive agreement for this acquisition in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 12, 2013.  The acquisition was structured as a share purchase transaction, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") by and among Chyron, Chyron Holdings, Inc., Chyron AB, Hego, Westhill Group AB as the stockholder representative of the Hego stockholders, and the stockholders of Hego, pursuant to which Chyron AB, the Company's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, has acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hego. The acquisition of Hego is referred to herein as the Transaction.

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Chyron issued 12,199,431 shares of Chyron's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to the former Hego stockholders. The number of shares issued is equal to 40% of the total of (i) the issued and outstanding shares of Chyron's common stock as of May 10, 2013 , (ii) the shares of Chyron's common stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options and restricted stock units that have an exercise price that is less than or equal to $1.25 per shares as of May 10, 2013, and (iii) the shares issued at the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing"), which are collectively referred to as the "Outstanding Closing Shares." In addition, upon Hego achieving certain revenue milestones during the next three fiscal years, Chyron may issue additional shares, which are referred to as the "Earn-Out Shares," to the former Hego stockholders, such that the aggregate amount of shares of Chyron common stock issued in the Transaction would equal up to 18,299,147 shares, or 50% of the total Outstanding Closing Shares and Earn-Out Shares.  A summary of the Stock Purchase Agreement was contained in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 12, 2013, and a copy of the agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Closing, on May 22, 2013, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the New York Secretary of State to change its corporate name from Chyron Corporation to ChyronHego Corporation.  The certificate of amendment became effective upon filing.  A copy of the certificate of amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the Transaction is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, Chyron issued 12,199,431 shares of its common stock to the stockholders of Hego in a private transaction.  The issuance of the shares of common stock in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  The shares of Chyron common stock issued in connection with the Transaction contain a legend to the effect that such shares are not registered under the Securities Act and may not be sold or transferred except pursuant to a registration statement which has become effective under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such registration.  The disclosure provided under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 as if fully set forth herein.
 
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers

(c)  On May 22, 2013, in connection with the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing"), Chyron's board of directors appointed Johan Apel, age 40, as the President and Chief Operating Officer of Chyron.  Mr. Apel served as Chief Executive Officer of Hego AB since April 2002.  Mr. Apel received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in accounting and economics at Malardan University.  As part of the Transaction, Westhill Group AB, an entity controlled by Mr. Apel, received 3,605,088 shares of Chyron common stock in exchange for its equity interest in Hego.


 
 

 

(d)  Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Hego was given the right to appoint two (2) directors to Chyron's board of directors upon the Closing.  On May 22, 2013, in connection with the Closing and in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Chyron's board of directors increased the size of the board of directors from seven (7) to nine (9) directors and appointed Johan Apel and Henrik Sundberg as directors of Chyron effective as of the close of business on May 22, 2013.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Messrs. Apel and Sundberg and any other person pursuant to which they were elected as directors other than those contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement.  Please see subsection (c) above for transactions in which Mr. Apel has an interest under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.  There are no transactions in which Mr. Sundberg has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.  Messrs. Apel and Sundberg have not been appointed to any committees of the Board of Directors.  Chyron's board of directors has determined that Mr. Sundberg is independent under the NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards.

(e)  At the Chyron Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 22, 2013 (the "Annual Meeting"), Chyron's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2008 LTIP").  A description of the terms and conditions of the 2008 LTIP are set forth in the Company's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the "Proxy Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on April 17, 2013 and are incorporated herein by reference.  Such description is qualified entirely by reference to the actual terms of the 2008 LTIP, as amended, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

Item 5.07   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

(a)  The Company's Annual Meeting was held on May 22, 2013 at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., 666 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017.

Approval of a proposed amendment to the Company's 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan to increase the maximum number of authorized shares by 3,000,000.  The voting results were 7,992,251 votes for, 1,079,868 votes against, and 167,124 votes abstaining, with 4,547,813 broker non-votes.

 (d)  Consistent with the recommendation of the board of directors in the Proxy Statement and the stockholder votes at the Annual Meeting, the board of directors has determined to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers every three years until the earlier of (i) the next required vote on the frequency of such advisory vote, which is currently expected to be held at our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders; or (ii) such date that the board of directors decides to hold the next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of such advisory votes.

Item 9.01.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(a)             Financial statements of businesses acquired.   In accordance with Item 9.01(a) of Form 8-K, the audited consolidated financial statements of Hego for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and the notes related thereto, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

(b)           Pro Forma Financial Information.  Pro forma financial statements required by Article 11 of Regulation S-X were previously included in the Proxy Statement.  The Company used an estimated purchase price of $16.5 million in the pro forma financial statements included in the Proxy Statement, however, based on the actual closing of the Transaction, the estimated purchase price was approximately $21.3 million.  Such difference in the estimated purchase price is not expected to have a significant impact on the net income reported in the unaudited pro forma financial statements because the additional purchase price is expected to result in additional goodwill.  Pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K, no additional pro forma financial statements are required to be included herein.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Hego AB
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hego AB and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Hego AB’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Hego AB and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Sweden.
 
Accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden vary in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in note 14 to the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting principles and notes to the accounts

Amounts in SEK 000s unless stated otherwise

General accounting principles
 

 
The same accounting principles as for the previous year have been applied. The annual report has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the general recommendations of Swedish Accounting Standards Board (“BFNAR”), except for BFNAR 2008:1 Financial statements in small limited liabilities companies (“Swedish GAAP”). If no guideline has been issued by the Swedish Accounting Standards Board, guidance has been taken from the standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Council.

Valuation principles, etc.
 

 
Assets, allocations and liabilities have been valued at historical cost unless stated otherwise below.
 

Revenue recognition
 

 
Revenue recognition is made in accordance with BFNAR 2003:3 Revenue. The company reports its revenue as the value of consideration received or to be received.
 

 
Compensation for services rendered is recognized as they are performed. Revenue not yet invoiced is reported under accrued income. Compensation for product sales are recorded at delivery. License revenue is distributed linearly over the contract period.
 

 
Interest, royalties and dividends are recognized when it is probable that the company will have the economic benefits associated with the transaction and that the income can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognized using the interest rate that provides a consistent return for the assets in question. Royalty revenue is accrued in accordance with the relevant agreement. Dividend is recognized when the shareholder's right to receive dividend is deemed secure.

Tax
 

 
The Company and Group apply the BFNAR 2001:1 Income tax. Total tax comprises current and deferred tax.
 

Taxes are reported in the income statement. Current tax is tax which will be paid or received in regard to the current year. This also includes the adjustment of current tax attributable to previous periods.

Deferred tax is calculated in accordance with the balance sheet method based on temporary differences between reported and fiscal values on assets and liabilities with the exception of tax losses which are not valued. The amount is calculated based on how the temporary differences are expected to be settled and with application of those tax rates and tax regulations that have been determined or instructed as of the balance sheet date. Temporary differences are not taken into consideration in consolidated goodwill and neither are differences attributable to investments in subsidiaries and associated companies that are not expected to be reverse in the foreseeable future.

Intangible assets

Capitalized software development costs
In the balance sheet the development costs for software in some subsidiaries are recorded as actual cost less amortization and impairment. All other costs are recorded in the income statement.


 
6

 

Tangible assets
 

 
Tangible fixed assets are reported as assets in the balance sheet when, based on available information, it is likely that the future financial benefits that are associated with the holdings will be realised by the group/company and when the acquisition value for the asset can be calculated in a reliable way.

Depreciation of tangible and amortization of intangible fixed assets
 

 
Depreciation is based on the historical cost less any calculated residual value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets useful life.
 

The following useful lives are used:

Tangible fixed assets:
 
- Leasehold improvements 20%
 
- Equipment 20%
 
- Goodwill 20%
 


Impairment

 
At each reporting period it is analysed whether there is any indication of impairment of the assets. If so is the case the estimated recoverable amount is calculated which is the higher of net realizable value and value in use. Value in use is calculated based on the estimated future cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the book value of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount of the asset it is reduced down to the last value.


Leasing - lessee
 

 
The Swedish Accounting Standards Board's general recommendation, BFNAR 2000:4, is applied and all leasing agreements are reported as operating leases.
 


Receivables
 

 
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an individual assessment of the receivable considering factors such as the age of the amounts due, historical experience of collection and other factors which may affect the customers’ ability to pay.

Accounts payable
 

 
Accounts payable are short-term and are valued at nominal value.
 


Receivables and liabilities in foreign currency
 

 
Receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies have been translated to exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet day in accordance with the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council's recommendation no. 8. Exchange rate differences on operating receivables and liabilities are included in the operating profit/loss, while differences in financial receivables and liabilities are reported as financial items.
 

 
For those cases when receivables or payables in foreign currency have been hedged, the receivables or payables have been translated using the rate in the hedging instrument. The group has no outstanding derivatives as of the balance sheet dates.

 
7

 

 

Foreign currency

 
The Swedish krona is the functional currency of Hego AB and also the presentation currency of the consolidated accounts. The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to Swedish kronor at the exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. The income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates which approximate the exchange rate for the respective transaction. The differences arising on the translation of the financial statements of a foreign subsidiary are recognized directly in equity.

Cash and cash equivalents
 

 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, immediately available bank balances and other money market instruments with maturities of three months or less. These items are generally valued at amortized cost.

Provisions
 

 
A provision is recognized in the balance sheet when the company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made.
 


Consolidated accounting
 

 
The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Accounting Standards Board’s recommendation RR1:00.
 

Basis of consolidation
 

 
Subsidiaries are companies in which the parent company directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the voting rights, or in another way has a deciding influence over the operation and finances of the company.
 

 
Subsidiaries are normally reported in accordance with the acquisition method. The acquisition method means that an acquisition of a subsidiary is considered to be a transaction whereby the parent company indirectly acquires the subsidiary’s assets and takes over its liabilities. From the date of the acquisition, the acquired company’s income and costs, identifiable assets and liabilities as well as possible goodwill or negative goodwill are included in the consolidated accounts.
 

Goodwill
 

 
Group goodwill arises when the acquisition value, for the acquisition of shares in subsidiaries exceeds the fair value of the acquired company's identifiable net assets. Goodwill is reported at the acquisition value with deductions for accumulated amortization and possible impairment.

Note 14 US GAAP Information

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Swedish GAAP which differs in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP).

Those differences which have a significant effect on net income and shareholders’ equity are as follows:

a)  
Business combinations and goodwill
In accounting for business combinations under Swedish GAAP, all of the value of consideration transferred in excess of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired have been classified as goodwill and is amortized over 5 years.

In accordance with US GAAP, the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date including intangible assets other than goodwill such as software and customer relations. Goodwill is measured as a residual value and recognized as an asset. Goodwill and other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are subject to impairment testing at least annually.

Software and customer relations have been amortized under US GAAP based on a useful life of five years.

The increase in ownership of a subsidiary in 2011 was accounted for by increasing goodwill under Swedish GAAP. Under US GAAP, it would be accounted for as an equity transaction with an adjustment to the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest to reflect the change in ownership of the subsidiary. The difference in the fair value of the consideration paid and the change in the carrying amount of the non-controlling interests is recognized in equity attributable to the parent rather than as an increase in goodwill.

b)  
Changes in ownership interest in subsidiaries
Changes in the ownership of two subsidiaries in 2012 through a rights issue and sale of shares to unrelated parties creating non-controlling interests have been accounted for in current earnings as other income under Swedish GAAP. Under US GAAP, it would be accounted for as an equity transaction with an adjustment to the carrying amount of the no controlling interest to reflect the change in ownership of the subsidiary. The difference in the fair value of the consideration received and the change in the carrying amount of the non-controlling interests is recognized in equity. No adjustment to equity is required for US GAAP.

c)  
Capitalized software development costs
Under Swedish GAAP, certain costs incurred for software development in a subsidiary have been capitalized and are amortized over a useful life of five years. These costs are for software in the post implementation/operation stage. Under US GAAP, costs incurred for internal use-software that is acquired, internally developed or modified solely to meet the entity’s internal needs are capitalized depending on the stage of development.

Costs incurred during the post-implementation/operation stage are expensed as incurred.

d)  
Income taxes
Under Swedish GAAP, deferred taxes are calculated based on certain temporary differences but not on unused tax loss carry forward. Under US GAAP, deferred tax is recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences and unused tax losses carried forward.

Additionally all deferred tax assets are recognized and a valuation allowance is recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be usable.


 
15

 

Note 14 Continued

e)  
Leases
Under Swedish GAAP, all leases have been accounted for as operating leases with lease payments being recognized in current earnings as they fall due.

Under US GAAP, a lease is classified as a capital (finance) lease or an operating lease. The classification depends on whether substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee. At the commencement of a capital lease, the leased asset and leased liability are recognized. The asset under a capital lease is depreciated in accordance with the depreciation policy used for comparable owned assets. The lease liability is amortized over the period of the lease by allocating lease payments to principle and interest.

f)  
Accounting for associated companies

Under Swedish GAAP, the equity method of accounting is used for the investment in an associated company and the proportionate share of losses are recorded as a reduction in the investment in the associated company but not loans or other receivables.

Under US GAAP, the investors proportionate share of losses would also be recorded as a reduction in loans and other advances after the capital stock investment has been reduced to zero.


The following is a summary of the significant adjustments to net income (loss) and shareholders’ equity that would be required if US GAAP were to be applied instead of Swedish GAAP:

Financial statement presentation in accordance with US GAAP
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with Swedish GAAP which differs in certain respects as to the presentation which would be commonly applied by entities reporting in accordance with US GAAP.
The consolidated financial statements of Hego AB are presented in Swedish kronor (“SEK”). In preparing the translation of the Swedish kronor to the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency, the assets and liabilities have been translated from Swedish kronor to U.S. dollar (USD) at the exchange rate prevailing on December 31, 2012. The income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates which approximates the exchange rate for the respective transaction. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized directly in equity. The translation to USD in the tables below has been performed using the Swedish Central Bank’s exchange rates. The exchange rates used were 6.5156 SEK/USD for December 31, 2012, and the average rate for 2012 was 6.7754 SEK/USD.

The following table present the assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity as reclassified and presented under a typical US GAAP format. In addition to the revised presentation, the significant US GAAP adjustments noted above have been included to illustrate the balance sheet as it would be presented under US GAAP.
