On February 11, 2005, the Company issued a press release regarding its entry into an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of OneTravel, Inc., and its initial closing of a private placement of convertible debentures. In addition to financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), the press release contains non-GAAP financial measures regarding the "gross bookings" of OneTravel, Inc. The "gross bookings" figure set forth in the press release represents the retail value of fares charged to customers as compared to net amounts retained from such sales. The Company has adopted the net method for revenue recognition as suggested by the Emerging Issues Task Force 99-19. The Company believes that such non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide an alternative method for assessing OneTravel, Inc.'s operations. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for the same purpose. A copy of the press release is furnished as an Exhibit herewith. ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS Exhibits Exhibit Description - ------- ----------- 99.1 Press Release dated February 11, 2005. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized. Dated: February 11, 2005 RCG COMPANIES INCORPORATED By: /s/ Michael Pruitt ---------------------------------- Michael Pruitt President EX-99.1 2 ex99.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 RCG Companies To Acquire OneTravel, Inc. Charlotte, NC - February 11, 2005 - RCG Companies Incorporated (AMEX: RCG), a diversified travel and leisure company, announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of OneTravel, Inc. (www.onetravel.com). RCG operates SunTrips(R) (www.suntrips.com), one of the largest leisure-travel tour operations in the United States, and 1-800-CHEAPSEATS (www.1800cheapseats.com), a full service online and offline travel company. OneTravel is a privately held provider of online and offline discount travel products and services, offering its customers the ability to search for and book a full range of travel products. OneTravel also has proprietary dynamic packaging search engine technology that allows its customers to customize their own vacations by combining air, hotel and land options. OneTravel operates a direct-to-consumer business through a variety of Web sites. In addition to OneTravel.com, it operates 11thHour.com, CheapSeats.com and DiscountHotels.com. OneTravel also provides technology solutions and support services that enable other businesses to operate in the online travel arena. Through OneTravel's long-standing partner program, OneTravel has developed turnkey solutions for organizations such as The Travel Channel, Sam's Club and SideStep. OneTravel generated gross bookings of approximately $94 million in 2004 from all operations, which accounts for approximately $8.2 million of revenue under generally accepted accounting principles. The terms of the acquisition provide for a total purchase price of $25.5 million, with $2.5 million paid as a deposit at signing, $10.5 million paid in cash at closing and $12.5 million paid in the form of a six-month convertible promissory note. The note is convertible into common stock of RCG, subject to shareholder approval. The conversion price will be determined on the closing of the transaction, but will be no greater than $2.25 per share. RCG has the right to extend the maturity of the convertible note by up to six months upon payment of an extension fee to the note-holders. RCG and OneTravel expect the transaction to close within 30-60 days. Commenting on the announcement, RCG Chairman, William Goldstein, stated, "The OneTravel acquisition adds a variety of assets to the RCG arsenal in addition to the additional bookings and customer base. In total, we will now have in excess of 2 million opt-in registered users across all brands. OneTravel has an excellent management team with great experience in online and offline travel. OneTravel's technology will enhance RCG's ability to provide a faster and more robust offering across all of the RCG business lines and brands. In addition, OneTravel's dynamic packaging technology will allow RCG to more quickly address one of the hottest topics in the online travel space today. Although we are still integrating the RCG/1-800-CHEAPSEATS merger, we feel the long-term benefits from the combination of RCG/1-800-CHEAPSEATS and OneTravel greatly outweigh the additional planning associated with integrating a third company within RCG. This acquisition puts RCG in a position to achieve in excess of $300 million in gross bookings for the twelve months post closing, and we believe that following the implementation of the growth opportunities we see through cross-selling and dynamic packaging, our bookings will increase substantially from the combination of SunTrips, 1-800-CHEAPSEATS and OneTravel. Although gross bookings do not at all equate to revenue under generally accepted accounting principles, gross bookings are an important measuring stick in our industry." President and Chief Financial Officer of OneTravel, Inc., Philip Ferri, stated, "We are very excited about the acquisition and becoming an integral part of RCG. Our management team is looking forward to working with Will and the RCG team. We believe that the combination of RCG and OneTravel will create a strong platform for growth in the online travel market and provide significant value to the company's shareholders, customers and partners." RCG Companies Incorporated February 11, 2005 Page 2 of 2 Libra Securities, LLC acted as financial advisor for OneTravel in connection with the sale. RCG also announced that it has completed a convertible debenture offering, which provided the necessary financing to fund the OneTravel deposit plus additional working capital for the Company. The net proceeds of the financing were approximately $5.6 million, the details of which are reflected in the Company's 8-K filing. HPC Capital Management of Atlanta, Georgia, was the placement agent for the financing.
