Any information contained herein or in a document incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or replaced for purposes of this Prospectus to the extent that information contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is incorporated by reference herein modifies or replaces such information. Any such information so modified or replaced shall not be deemed, except as so modified or replaced, to constitute a part of this Prospectus. The Company will provide, without charge, to each person, including any beneficial owner, to whom this Prospectus is delivered, on the written or oral request of such person, a copy of any or all of the information incorporated herein by reference (other than exhibits to the information that is incorporated by reference unless such exhibits are specifically incorporated by reference into the information that this Prospectus incorporates). Written or telephone requests for such copies should be directed to the Company's principal executive offices: 305 South Main Street, P.O. Box 1688, Greenville, South Carolina 29602 ((803) 298-4373), Attention: Corporate Communications. 4 THE COMPANY Multimedia, Inc. (the "Company") is a diversified media communications company. The Company is a South Carolina corporation which began using its current name in 1968; however, its predecessor newspaper and broadcasting companies date back as early as 1888. The Company currently publishes daily and non-daily newspaper publications; owns and operates television and radio stations; serves cable television subscribers; and produces and syndicates television programming. RISK FACTORS Prior to investing in any Shares, a prospective investor should review this Prospectus and the information incorporated herein by reference and, in addition, consider the following factors, among others: 1. Each of the Company's broadcast and cablevision divisions is subject to significant governmental regulation. The nature of this regulation may be changed at any time in a manner that adversely affects the Company's operations or the value of its properties. 2. The manner in which the Company conducts its various businesses and the type of competition faced by each of these businesses may be adversely affected in the future by technological changes. 3. The Company's entertainment division derives nearly all of its operating profits from the production and syndication of two day- time television talk shows, the "Donahue" show and the "Sally Jessy Raphael" show. A significant portion of the operating profits for the entertainment division is contributed by the "Donahue" show. 4. The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends since 1985. The Company's Credit Agreement and Note Agreements limit the payment of dividends on any capital stock of the Company. At the date of this Prospectus, the most restrictive of these limitations restricted the annual payment of dividends to 25% of the Company's annualized net income for the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding such payment. 5. On October 1, 1985, the Company completed a recapitalization merger which was accounted for as a redemption of shares of the Company's common stock not subject to purchase accounting. Consequently, the Company's assets were not, for accounting purposes, adjusted at the time of the recapitalization merger to reflect their then fair market value. As a result of this accounting treatment, since 1985 the Company has carried a significant negative balance in its shareholders' equity. 5 6. The Shares offered hereby will be owned by the Selling Shareholder. Therefore, the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the Selling Shareholder of any of the Shares. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Shares may be sold from time to time directly by the Selling Shareholder. Alternatively, the Selling Shareholder may from time to time offer and sell the Shares through underwriters, dealers or agents. Sales of the Shares by the Selling Shareholder may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions on the NASDAQ National Market System, including ordinary broker's transactions, or in privately-negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more broker/dealers for resale of such Shares as principals or a combination of any such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage or underwriting fees, commissions or discounts may be paid by the Selling Shareholder in connection with such sales. The Company will pay certain expenses incident to the offering and sale of the Shares to the public. The Company will not pay for, among other expenses, fees, commissions and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents or the fees and expenses of counsel or accountants for the Selling Shareholder. SELLING SHAREHOLDER As of the date of this Prospectus, Raphael beneficially owned 3,900 outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, constituting less than 0.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In addition, at the date of this Prospectus, Raphael held the following Raphael Option: Option granted as of December 4, 1990 for an aggregate of 180,000 shares (after taking into account the April 19, 1991 stock dividend of two shares of Common Stock on each outstanding share of Common Stock) of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $13.33 1/3 per share. 98.630136 shares covered by this Raphael Option become exercisable on each calendar day between January 1, 1991 and December 31, 1991 (inclusive) and between January 1, 1993 and December 31, 1995 (inclusive) and 98.360655 shares covered by this Raphael Option become exercisable on each calendar day between January 1, 1992 and December 31, 1992 (inclusive). To the extent exercisable, this Raphael Option may, subject to certain limitations, be exercised in whole or in part until December 31, 2000. The Raphael Option was granted as part of an amendment to Raphael's contract with a subsidiary of the Company that, among other 6 things, extended the term of the contract from August 31, 1995 to December 31, 1995. In the event that Raphael ceases to be affiliated with the Sally Jessy Raphael Show while produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or a comparable consistent major production produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any reason (including without limitation retirement, termination or non-renewal of the contract in effect immediately prior to such event between Raphael and the Company or any of its subsidiaries, death or permanent and total disability), any portion of such option which, on the date of such cessation, was not exercisable shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect. In the event that during Raphael's lifetime she ceases to be affiliated with the Sally Jessy Raphael Show while produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or a comparable consistent major production produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any reason, including retirement or termination or non-renewal of the contract in effect immediately prior to such event between Raphael and the Company or any of its subsidiaries (but not including death or permanent and total disability), the Raphael Option may be exercised within a period of three months from the date on which she ceases to be so affiliated, but in no event after the expiration of the fixed term of such option and only for up to the number of whole shares for which such option could have been exercised at the time she ceased to be so affiliated. If Raphael shall die while affiliated with the Sally Jessy Raphael Show while produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or a comparable consistent major production produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or within a period of three months after the termination of such affiliation with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or if she shall have terminated her affiliation by reason of having become permanently and totally disabled, the Raphael Option may be exercised by her or her personal representative during a period not exceeding one year after the date of termination of her affiliation (but no later than the end of the fixed term of such option) for up to the number of whole shares for which such option could have been exercised at the time she terminated her affiliation. Upon the occurrence of a "Change in Control" (as defined in the Raphael Option), the Raphael Option, to the extent not then terminated, shall become immediately exercisable in full. If Raphael were to exercise all of the Raphael Option and not dispose of any of the shares of Common Stock currently beneficially owned by her or acquired upon exercise of the Raphael Option, Raphael would beneficially own an aggregate of 183,900 shares of the Common Stock, constituting approximately 0.5% of the outstanding Common Stock (assuming no additional issuances after the date of this Prospectus of shares of Common Stock other than pursuant to the exercise of the Raphael Option). 7 Although at the date of this Prospectus Raphael expected to offer and sell Shares pursuant to this Prospectus, at such time Raphael had no specific intent to sell any Shares at any particular time. Depending upon the prevailing market prices of the Common Stock and other factors which she deems relevant, Raphael may from time to time sell Shares pursuant to this Prospectus and/or other shares of Common Stock owned by her. Accordingly, at the termination of any and all offerings of the Shares to be made pursuant to this Prospectus, Raphael may own some or none of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. Raphael is currently under contract with a subsidiary of the Company to appear on the Sally Jessy Raphael Show through December 31, 1995. The Company owns life insurance and disability policies on Raphael. The Company's entertainment division has in recent years derived and continues to derive nearly all of its operating profits from the production and syndication of two day-time television talk shows, the Phil Donahue Show and the Sally Jessy Raphael Show. In 1991, the Company's entertainment division accounted for approximately 20.8% of the Company's operating revenues and approximately 32.7% of the Company's operating profit. LEGAL OPINION The law firm of Wyche, Burgess, Freeman & Parham, P.A., general counsel to the Company, has passed on certain aspects of the validity of the Common Stock to be offered hereby. At the date of this Prospectus, David L. Freeman, Esq., a member of Wyche, Burgess, Freeman & Parham, P.A., was a Director, a member of the Executive Committee and the Secretary of the Company and owned 75,000 shares of the Common Stock. At the date of this Prospectus, the other members of Wyche, Burgess, Freeman & Parham, P.A. beneficially owned an aggregate of 5,093 shares of the Common Stock. EXPERTS The consolidated financial statements and schedules of Multimedia, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1991 and 1990, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1991 incorporated by reference herein have been incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG Peat Marwick, independent certified public accountants, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. 8 With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods ended March 31, 1992 and 1991 and June 30, 1992 and 1991, incorporated by reference herein, the independent certified public accountants have reported that they applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate reports included in the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 1992 and June 30, 1992, and incorporated by reference herein, state that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. The accountants are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on the unaudited interim financial information because those reports are not a "report" or a "part" of the Registration Statement prepared or certified by the accountants within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act. MISCELLANEOUS No person is authorized in connection with this offering to give any information or to make any representation not contained in or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the shares of the Common Stock offered hereby, nor does it constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy such securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction. Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor any sale made hereunder shall under any circumstance create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Company since the date hereof or that the information contained or incorporated by reference herein is correct as of any time subsequent to its date. 9 Rule 424(b) (3) File No. 33-46557 of Registration Statment MULTIMEDIA, INC. SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 TO PROSPECTUS DATED OCTOBER 9, 1992 This Supplement No. 1 supplements the Prospectus, dated October 9, 1992 (the "Original Prospectus"), of Multimedia, Inc. (the "Company") respecting an aggregate of up to 180,000 shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock") of the Company which may be offered and sold by Sally Jessy Raphael ("Raphael" or the "Selling Shareholder"). The following information supplements the information set forth under the heading, "SELLING SHAREHOLDER", in the Original Prospectus: ADDITIONAL OPTION GRANTED TO RAPHAEL By letter dated August 17, 1993, the Company granted an additional option (the "Additional Option") to Raphael for an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $32.125 per share. 202.4291498 shares covered by the Additional Option become exercisable on each calendar day between January 1, 1996 and September 14, 1998 (inclusive). To the extent exercisable, the Additional Option may, subject to certain limitations, be exercised in whole or in part (but only for whole shares) until August 17, 2003. The Additional Option was granted in connection with an agreement, dated August 17, 1993 (the "New Agreement") entered into by a subsidiary of the Company and Wonderland Entertainment, Inc. f/s/o Sally Jessy Raphael. The New Agreement superseded Raphael's prior contract with the Company's subsidiary. Generally, under the New Agreement, Raphael is obligated to appear on The Sally Jessy Raphael Show through September 14, 1998. In the event that Raphael permanently ceases to be affiliated with the Sally Jessy Raphael Show produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or a comparable consistent major production produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any reason (including without limitation retirement, termination or non-renewal of the contract in effect immediately prior to such event between Raphael and the Company or any of its subsidiaries, death or permanent and total disability), any portion of the Additional Option which, on the date of such cessation, was not exercisable shall immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect. In the event that during Raphael's lifetime she permanently ceases to be affiliated with the Sally Jessy Raphael show produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or a comparable consistent major production produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any reason, including retirement or termination or non-renewal of the contract in effect immediately prior to such event between Raphael and the Company or any of its subsidiaries (but not including death or disability), the portion of the Additional Option that is exercisable immediately prior to such cessation may be exercised within a period of 3 months from the date on which Raphael ceases to be so affiliated, but in no event after the expiration of the fixed term of the Additional Option. If Raphael shall die while affiliated with the Sally Jessy Raphael show produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or a comparable consistent major production produced by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or within a period of 3 months after the termination of such affiliation with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or if Raphael shall have permanently ceased such affiliation by reason of having become disabled as defined in the New Agreement, the Additional Option may be exercised by Raphael or her personal representative during a period not exceeding 1 year after the date of termination of her affiliation (but no later than the end of the fixed term of such option) for up to the number of whole shares for which the Additional Option could have been exercised at the time she permanently ceased to be so affiliated. Upon the occurrence of a "Change in Control" (as defined in the Additional Option), the Additional Option, to the extent it has not terminated, shall become immediately exercisable in full. The shares which Raphael could acquire upon exercise of the Additional Option are not covered by the Original Prospectus, as supplemented by this Supplement No. 1. This Supplement No. 1 is dated December 23, 1993. 2 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
