Item 1.01 Entry Into a Definitive Material Agreement

 

On December 9, 2015, the “Company” entered into a Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee (the “Note”) with Mr. Yanzi Gao as agent for the lenders listed therein (the “Lenders”), with an aggregate principal sum not to exceed US$5,000,000. The Note provides that the Company will make draws of: (i) $1,000,000 on or before December 10, 2015; (ii) $1,000,000 within five business days after delivering written notice to the Lenders requesting the second draw, on or before December 18, 2015; and (iii) $1,000,000 within five business days after delivering written notice to the Lenders requesting the third draw, on or before December 31, 2015, provided in each case there is no event of default under the Note. The Note provided the Company could request an additional advance in the amount of $2,000,000 at any time during the term of the Note, provided the Lenders would have the option to grant or deny the request in their sole and absolute discretion. The proceeds of the Note shall be used in the normal course of the Company’s business operations.

 

On January 4, 2016, the Company agreed to delay the second draw until January 15, 2016, and the third draw until January 28, 2016. Interest on these amounts would not accrue until the amounts were received by the Company. The Note otherwise remained unchanged and in full effect.

 

While the first $1,000,000 draw was timely made in accordance with the terms of the Note, a second draw of $500,000 was received on January 29, 2016. At the time of and as a condition to receiving the last $1.5 million in funding, the Company entered into replacement notes with the members of the lending group individually, as a replacement for the original note (the “Replacement Notes”). The remaining $1.5 million was received in two drafts received April 1, 2016 and April 4, 2016. These Replacement Notes do not provide the Company the ability to request the remaining $2 million in funding, and the Company does not anticipate receiving this funding from the lending group in the future. With the exception of these changes, the material terms of the replacement Notes are the same as in the original Note.

 

The lenders in the Replacement Notes are individuals who are also the owners of entities who were parties to the March 31, 2015 financing transaction with the Company totaling $13.5 million. This debt has since been converted to common stock in the Company, and the lenders in the Replacement Notes are part of a group that filed a Form 13D on April 1, 2016, reporting its ownership of approximately 47.5% of the common stock of the Company.

 

This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Replacement Notes, copies of which are filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On April 12, 2016, Premier Exhibitions, Inc. (the “Company”) released preliminary financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. On that date the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

On April 11, 2016, the Audit Committee of the Company, with the Board of Directors and management of the Company, concluded that certain previously issued financial statements of Dinoking Tech Inc. included in the Company’s Proxy Statement dated September 16, 2015, should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements as addressed in ASC Topic 840 (Leases) and Subtopic 605-25 (Accounting for Multiple Element Arrangements).

 

The restatement is a result of the interpretation and application of lease accounting standards in Dinoking Tech, Inc. financials pre-merger, and the general result of the preliminary estimated restatement is to decrease income during fiscal years 2013 and 2014, and increase income for the first nine months of 2015 and for future periods. All numbers reported are in Canadian dollars. These amounts are preliminary, unaudited, and will not be finalized until the related audit is complete.

 

For fiscal year 2013, the restatement will reduce reported revenues of Dinoking Tech, Inc. for that period from Cdn$6.4 million to Cdn$5.4 million; will reduce cost of sales from Cdn$2.5 million to Cdn$1.6 million; and will reduce operating income from Cdn$1.0 million to Cdn$0.7 million. For fiscal year 2014, the restatement will reduce reported revenues of Dinoking Tech, Inc. for that period from Cdn$11.1 million to Cdn$6.0 million; will reduce cost of sales from Cdn$1.6 million to Cdn$1.0 million; and will reduce operating income from Cdn$6.5 million to Cdn$2.1 million.

 

The Company will report the corrected financial statements in its Form 8-K/A to be filed in connection with the merger.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

The Company and John Norman have agreed that effective as of March 21, 2016, Mr. Norman resigned from his positions as President of Premier Exhibition Management LLC and as President of Arts and Exhibitions International, LLC, both subsidiaries of the Company. The Company expects that Mr. Norman may provide consulting services to the Company in the future.

 

On April 5, 2016, the Company and Mr. Norman entered into a Separation Agreement containing customary releases. The Separation Agreement does not provide for severance payments.

 

This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

The Company previously disclosed that it is not able to file a Form 8-K/A containing the financial statements and pro forma financial statements required under Item 9.01 of the Original report within the prescribed time period. The Company now anticipates filing the financial statements and pro forma financial statements required under Item 9.01 of the Original Report by April 30, 2016. Because of this delay, the Company also has not filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company expects to file the Form 10-K approximately 45 days after the filing of the Form 8-K/A.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Report contains both historical and forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of statements that include phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “foresee,” “likely,” “may,” “will,” “would” or other words or phrases with similar meanings. Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals are, or may be, forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations of future events. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from the Company’s expectations and projections. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, public tastes and demand, competition, the availability of venues, the results of certain legal matters described herein, governmental regulation and the efforts of co-sponsors and joint venture participants. Because they are forward-looking, such statements should be evaluated in light of important risk factors and uncertainties. For a more detailed discussion of these and other factors, see the information under the caption “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2015. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release or as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments unless required by law.

REVISED AND RESTATED SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE AND GUARANTEE

 

March 24, 2016

 

This Revised and Restated Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee (the “Note”), together with the Revised and Restated Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee between the Maker (defined below) and Jihe Zhang (the “Zhang Note”), and Revised and Restated Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee between the Maker and Lange Feng (the “Feng Note”), supersedes and replaces the Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee dated December 9, 2015 (the “Original Note”, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule I). Upon execution of this Note, the Zhang Note and the Feng Note, the Original Note shall be canceled and voided ab initio, and shall cease to be legally valid or effective.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Premier Exhibitions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Maker”) hereby promises to pay to the order of Haiping Zou (the “Payee”), the principal sum of One MILLION US DOLLARS (US$1,000,000) together with interest, in the manner described herein. Certain terms used herein are defined in Annex A.

 

1. Draw Downs. The Maker hereby acknowledges that it received from the Lender, and the Lender represents and warrants that he transferred to the Maker the amount of US$1,000,000 (the “Loan”) on or about March 24, 2016.

 

The Lender acknowledges that the Original Note contemplated a total of up to US$5,000,000 in loans to the Maker. The Lender acknowledges and agrees that, since only US$1,000,000 will be loaned to the Maker under this Note and under each of Zhang Note and Feng Note, for a total of US$3,000,000, the Maker shall have the right to raise the amount of US$2,000,000 (the “Additional Loan”) to make up for the shortfall. In connection with the foregoing, the Lender agrees that the Additional Loan and any of the guaranteed interests, security rights or Collateral created under this Note will rank pari passu with the Loan.

 

2. Payments of Principal. Subject to the acceleration provisions of Section 10, all unpaid principal, fees and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on August 1, 2017. (the “Maturity Date”).

 

3. Interest. The unpaid principal amount of this Note shall accrue interest on the basis of a 360 day year at 12% per annum, provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of the Payee (other than with respect to an Event of Default under Section 9(e) hereof, in which case it shall be automatic), the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any accrued and unpaid interest and all other overdue amounts shall each bear interest until paid at the stated rate plus 3% per annum. Accrued interest shall be payable (a) upon the payment or prepayment of any principal owing under this Note (but only on the principal amount so paid or prepaid), (b) on the last business day of each month and (c) on the Maturity Date.

 

4. Prepayments. Immediately upon a Change of Control, the Maker shall repay all unpaid principal at 105% of the principal amount outstanding plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts hereunder. In addition, subject to the below, the Maker may at any time and from time to time prepay any principal amount of this Note in whole or in part subject to the below. Any repayment or prepayment, whether voluntary, mandatory, upon acceleration, or otherwise shall be made at 105% of the principal amount hereof. If the Maker elects to prepay all or any part of this Note, it shall provide written notice of such election (a "Prepayment Notice") to the Payee fixing a date for prepayment of such amounts (the "Prepayment Date"), which date shall not be earlier than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of the Prepayment Notice (provided that the Maker shall have confirmed the Payee’s receipt of the Prepayment Notice on or prior to such date).

 

 

 

5. Payment Terms. All payments of principal of, and interest upon, this Note shall be made by the Maker to the Lender and shall be paid in cash in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States by wire transfer to the bank account designated by the Payee in writing from time to time. All payments under this Note shall be made without withholding, defense, set-off, counterclaim or deduction. Payments and prepayments made to the Payee by the Maker hereunder shall be applied first to expenses recoverable under Section 16, then accrued interest and then to principal. If the due date of any payment under this Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a business day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding business day, and interest shall be payable on any principal so extended for the period of such extension

 

6. Use of Proceeds. Proceeds from the advances hereunder from the Lender shall be used for the normal course of the Maker’s business operations only pursuant to the terms and conditions hereunder.

 

7. Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee to the Payee and its successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under the Debtor Relief Laws) of the Obligations. The Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if the Maker shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under the Debtor Relief Laws) any of the Obligations strictly in accordance with the terms of any document or agreement evidencing any such Obligations, including in the amounts, in the currency and at the place expressly agreed to thereunder, irrespective of and without giving effect to any law, order, decree or regulation in effect from time to time of the jurisdiction where the Maker, any Guarantor or any other person obligated on any such Obligations is located, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 7 are primary, absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Maker under this Note, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 8 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances and shall apply to any and all Obligations now existing or in the future arising. The guarantee in this Section 7 is a continuing guarantee and is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

 

8. Security Grant. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations, each of the Obligors hereby pledges and grants to the Payee a security interest in all of such Obligor’s right, title and interest in all of its present and after acquired personal property (excluding Titanic Assets and Titanic Proceeds and Agreements, as defined below) including the following property, assets and revenues, whether now owned by such Obligor or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (all of the property, assets and revenues described in this Section 8 being collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral”):

(c) all proceeds of and to any of the Collateral,

 

provided that Collateral shall not include the Titanic Assets but in any event the Collateral shall include any and all proceeds of the Titanic Assets and all revenues, contracts and agreements arising out of the Titanic Assets, except with respect to any such proceeds, revenues, contracts and agreements received or entered into in violation of the Titanic Documents (such proceeds, revenues, contracts and agreements being referred to as the “Titanic Proceeds and Agreements”).

 

9. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” shall exist hereunder if any one or more of the following events shall occur:

 

(a) the Maker shall fail (i) to pay any principal or any portion thereof when due, or (ii) to pay any interest or any portion thereof or any other amount hereunder within three business days the same becomes due; or

 

(b) any Premier Party shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by it contained in Sections 1, 2, 3, or ; or

 

(c) any Obligor shall fail to perform or observe any other covenant or agreement contained herein for ten days after notice thereof; or

 

(d) any material representation or warranty of any Obligor made herein or in connection herewith proves to have been materially incorrect when made or reaffirmed; or

 

(e) any Premier Party institutes or consents to any proceeding under any bankruptcy laws relating to it or to all or any part of its property; or applies for or consents to the appointment of any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer for it or for all or any part of its property; or any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer is appointed without the application or consent of any Premier Party, as applicable; or any proceeding under a Debtor Relief Law relating to any Premier Party or to all or any part of its property is instituted without its consent and remains undismissed for thirty (30) days from the commencement of any such proceeding; or any judgment, writ, warrant of attachment or execution or similar process is issued or levied against all or any material part of its property and is not released, vacated or fully bonded within ten calendar days after its issue or levy; or

 

(f) (i) a judgment against any Premier Party is entered for the payment of money exceeding $1,000,000 or (ii) a judgment against any Premier Party is entered that could result in a Lien on any of its property; and, absent procurement of a stay of execution, any such judgment (under clause (i) or (ii)) remains unbonded or unsatisfied for ten calendar days after the date of entry of judgment, or in any event later than 60 days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

 

3 

 

(g) (i) there shall occur any material damage to or loss of any material portion of the Titanic Assets or (ii) there shall be any material prohibition or material restriction on the ability of the Obligors to display or exhibit the Titanic Assets other than as set forth in the Titanic Documents on the date hereof, in each case that prevents PEM or any affiliate of Maker from operating exhibitions of the Titanic Assets; or

 

(h) there shall have occurred any condition or event that has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

 

(i) any Obligor shall contest the validity or enforceability of any part of this Note.

 

10. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 9(e) above, the principal amount of this Note together with any interest thereon, all fees and all other Obligations (including the Prepayment Premium) shall become immediately and automatically due and payable, without presentment, demand, notice, protest or other requirements of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Maker). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Payee may, by written notice to the Maker, declare the principal amount of this Note together with any interest thereon to be due and payable, and the principal amount of this Note together with any such interest shall thereupon immediately become due and payable without presentment, further notice, protest or other requirements of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Maker). Following any such demand, the Maker shall immediately pay to such holder all amounts due and payable with respect to this Note. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing the Payee shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Payee were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Obligor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right), in each case subject to the Payee’s compliance with the Titanic Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Payee’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Titanic Proceeds and Agreement, and the rights and obligations of any subsequent transferee (but not a pledgee) of the RMST Shares, are governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Titanic Documents.

 

If the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, including because of default, sale, transfer or encumbrance (including that by operation of law or otherwise), the Prepayment Premium will also be automatically due and payable regardless of whether the Obligations were voluntarily or involuntarily prepaid, repaid, paid, satisfied, distributed or discharged and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the Payee’s lost profits as a result thereof.  Any Prepayment Premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by the Payee as the result of the early termination and the Maker agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing.  THE MAKER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW WHICH PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM OR DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION OF THIS NOTE, ANY RECISSION OF SUCH ACCELERATION, THE EARLIER MATURITY OF THIS NOTE OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING OR OTHER PROCEEDING PURSUANT TO ANY DEBTOR RELIEF LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION.  The Maker expressly agrees that: (A) the Prepayment Premium and any discount on the loan provided for herein is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Payee and the Maker giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium and (D) the Maker shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.  The Maker expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to the Payee as herein described is a material inducement to the Payee to accept this Note.

11. Obligors’ Representations. Each Obligor represents and warrants to the Payee, that as at the date of the Original Date and the date of this Note:(a) General Representations. It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Note.  It has duly authorized and taken all other appropriate action for the execution, delivery and performance of this Note and any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith and the consummation of the transactions provided for in this Note.  It has duly executed and delivered this Note and this Note constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws and by equitable principles, whether considered at law or in equity.  Its execution and delivery of this Note, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Note and the fulfillment of the terms of this Note will not (i) conflict with or violate any of its constitutive documents or its contractual obligations, (ii) conflict with or violate any order, judgment or decree of governmental authority binding on it, (iii) require any approval of its equity holders or any approval or consent of any Person under any contractual obligation of such Obligor, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the date hereof, or (iv) conflict with or violate any applicable laws, or (v) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties or assets (other than any Liens created hereunder).  It has duly obtained, effected or given all authorizations, consents, licenses, orders or approvals of or registrations or declarations with any governmental authority or any other Person required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Note, and such authorizations, consents, licenses, orders or approvals of or registrations or declarations are in full force and effect. There has been no increase in salary or other compensation (cash or otherwise) payable or to become payable to any director, officer, contractor or advisor of an Obligor. There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or governmental authority pending against or, to the knowledge of such Obligor, threatened against or affecting any Premier Party (A) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (B) that involve this Note or the transactions contemplated hereby. It is not an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of such Obligor in connection with this Note contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(b) Collateral Representations. It owns the Collateral purported to be owned by it or otherwise has rights or the power to transfer rights in the Collateral in which it purports to grant a security interest hereunder and no Lien exists upon the Collateral other than (i) the security interest created or provided for herein and (ii) Permitted Liens. The full and correct legal name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization and mailing address of each Obligor are correctly set forth in Schedule 1.

Exhibit 10.2

 

REVISED AND RESTATED SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE AND GUARANTEE

 

March 24, 2016

 

This Revised and Restated Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee (the “Note”), together with the Revised and Restated Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee between the Maker (defined below) and Lange Feng (the “Feng Note”), and Revised and Restated Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee between the Maker and Haiping Zou (the “Zou Note”), supersedes and replaces the Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee dated December 9, 2015 (the “Original Note”, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule I). Upon execution of this Note, the Feng Note and the Zou Note, the Original Note shall canceled and voided ab initio, and shall cease to be legally valid or effective.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Premier Exhibitions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Maker”) hereby promises to pay to the order of Jihe Zhang (the “Payee”), the principal sum of up to One MILLION US DOLLARS (US$1,000,000) together with interest, in the manner described herein. Certain terms used herein are defined in Annex A.

 

1. Draw Downs. The Maker hereby acknowledges that it received from the Lender and the Lender represents and warrants that it transferred to Maker, the amount of US$500,000 on or about January 29, 2016. The Lender agrees to make a further advance in the amount of US500,000 on or before ____________, 2016 so that the Lender will loan the Maker a total of US$1,000,000 (the “Loan”).

 

The Lender acknowledges that the Original Note contemplated a total of up to US$5,000,000 in loans to the Maker. The Lender acknowledges and agrees that, since only US$1,000,000 will be loaned to the Maker under this Note and under each of Feng Note and Zou Note, for a total of US$3,000,000, the Maker shall have the right to raise the amount of US$2,000,000 (the “Additional Loan”) to make up for the shortfall. In connection with the foregoing, the Lender agrees that the Additional Loan and any of the guaranteed interests, security rights or Collateral created under this Note will rank pari passu with the Loan.

 

2. Payments of Principal. Subject to the acceleration provisions of Section 10, all unpaid principal, fees and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on August 1, 2017. (the “Maturity Date”).

 

3. Interest. The unpaid principal amount of this Note shall accrue interest on the basis of a 360 day year at 12% per annum, provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of the Payee (other than with respect to an Event of Default under Section 9(e) hereof, in which case it shall be automatic), the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any accrued and unpaid interest and all other overdue amounts shall each bear interest until paid at the stated rate plus 3% per annum. Accrued interest shall be payable (a) upon the payment or prepayment of any principal owing under this Note (but only on the principal amount so paid or prepaid), (b) on the last business day of each month and (c) on the Maturity Date.

 

4. Prepayments. Immediately upon a Change of Control, the Maker shall repay all unpaid principal at 105% of the principal amount outstanding plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts hereunder. In addition, subject to the below, the Maker may at any time and from time to time prepay any principal amount of this Note in whole or in part subject to the below. Any repayment or prepayment, whether voluntary, mandatory, upon acceleration, or otherwise shall be made at 105% of the principal amount hereof. If the Maker elects to prepay all or any part of this Note, it shall provide written notice of such election (a "Prepayment Notice") to the Payee fixing a date for prepayment of such amounts (the "Prepayment Date"), which date shall not be earlier than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of the Prepayment Notice (provided that the Maker shall have confirmed the Payee’s receipt of the Prepayment Notice on or prior to such date).

 

 

5. Payment Terms. All payments of principal of, and interest upon, this Note shall be made by the Maker to the Lender and shall be paid in cash in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States by wire transfer to the bank account designated by the Payee in writing from time to time. All payments under this Note shall be made without withholding, defense, set-off, counterclaim or deduction. Payments and prepayments made to the Payee by the Maker hereunder shall be applied first to expenses recoverable under Section 16, then accrued interest and then to principal. If the due date of any payment under this Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a business day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding business day, and interest shall be payable on any principal so extended for the period of such extension

 

6. Use of Proceeds. Proceeds from the advances hereunder from the Lender shall be used for the normal course of the Maker’s business operations only pursuant to the terms and conditions hereunder.

 

7. Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee to the Payee and its successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under the Debtor Relief Laws) of the Obligations. The Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if the Maker shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under the Debtor Relief Laws) any of the Obligations strictly in accordance with the terms of any document or agreement evidencing any such Obligations, including in the amounts, in the currency and at the place expressly agreed to thereunder, irrespective of and without giving effect to any law, order, decree or regulation in effect from time to time of the jurisdiction where the Maker, any Guarantor or any other person obligated on any such Obligations is located, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 7 are primary, absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Maker under this Note, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 8 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances and shall apply to any and all Obligations now existing or in the future arising. The guarantee in this Section 7 is a continuing guarantee and is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

 

8. Security Grant. As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations, each of the Obligors hereby pledges and grants to the Payee a security interest in all of such Obligor’s right, title and interest in all of its present and after acquired personal property (excluding Titanic Assets and Titanic Proceeds and Agreements, as defined below) including the following property, assets and revenues, whether now owned by such Obligor or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (all of the property, assets and revenues described in this Section 8 being collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral”):

(c) all proceeds of and to any of the Collateral,

 

provided that Collateral shall not include the Titanic Assets but in any event the Collateral shall include any and all proceeds of the Titanic Assets and all revenues, contracts and agreements arising out of the Titanic Assets, except with respect to any such proceeds, revenues, contracts and agreements received or entered into in violation of the Titanic Documents (such proceeds, revenues, contracts and agreements being referred to as the “Titanic Proceeds and Agreements”).

 

9. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” shall exist hereunder if any one or more of the following events shall occur:

 

(a) the Maker shall fail (i) to pay any principal or any portion thereof when due, or (ii) to pay any interest or any portion thereof or any other amount hereunder within three business days the same becomes due; or

 

(b) any Premier Party shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement to be performed or observed by it contained in Sections 1, 2, 3, or ; or

 

(c) any Obligor shall fail to perform or observe any other covenant or agreement contained herein for ten days after notice thereof; or

 

(d) any material representation or warranty of any Obligor made herein or in connection herewith proves to have been materially incorrect when made or reaffirmed; or

 

(e) any Premier Party institutes or consents to any proceeding under any bankruptcy laws relating to it or to all or any part of its property; or applies for or consents to the appointment of any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer for it or for all or any part of its property; or any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer is appointed without the application or consent of any Premier Party, as applicable; or any proceeding under a Debtor Relief Law relating to any Premier Party or to all or any part of its property is instituted without its consent and remains undismissed for thirty (30) days from the commencement of any such proceeding; or any judgment, writ, warrant of attachment or execution or similar process is issued or levied against all or any material part of its property and is not released, vacated or fully bonded within ten calendar days after its issue or levy; or

 

(f) (i) a judgment against any Premier Party is entered for the payment of money exceeding $1,000,000 or (ii) a judgment against any Premier Party is entered that could result in a Lien on any of its property; and, absent procurement of a stay of execution, any such judgment (under clause (i) or (ii)) remains unbonded or unsatisfied for ten calendar days after the date of entry of judgment, or in any event later than 60 days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

 

3 

 

(g) (i) there shall occur any material damage to or loss of any material portion of the Titanic Assets or (ii) there shall be any material prohibition or material restriction on the ability of the Obligors to display or exhibit the Titanic Assets other than as set forth in the Titanic Documents on the date hereof, in each case that prevents PEM or any affiliate of Maker from operating exhibitions of the Titanic Assets; or

 

(h) there shall have occurred any condition or event that has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

 

(i) any Obligor shall contest the validity or enforceability of any part of this Note.

 

10. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 9(e) above, the principal amount of this Note together with any interest thereon, all fees and all other Obligations (including the Prepayment Premium) shall become immediately and automatically due and payable, without presentment, demand, notice, protest or other requirements of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Maker). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Payee may, by written notice to the Maker, declare the principal amount of this Note together with any interest thereon to be due and payable, and the principal amount of this Note together with any such interest shall thereupon immediately become due and payable without presentment, further notice, protest or other requirements of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Maker). Following any such demand, the Maker shall immediately pay to such holder all amounts due and payable with respect to this Note. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing the Payee shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Payee were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Obligor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right), in each case subject to the Payee’s compliance with the Titanic Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Payee’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Titanic Proceeds and Agreement, and the rights and obligations of any subsequent transferee (but not a pledgee) of the RMST Shares, are governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Titanic Documents.

 

If the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, including because of default, sale, transfer or encumbrance (including that by operation of law or otherwise), the Prepayment Premium will also be automatically due and payable regardless of whether the Obligations were voluntarily or involuntarily prepaid, repaid, paid, satisfied, distributed or discharged and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the Payee’s lost profits as a result thereof.  Any Prepayment Premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by the Payee as the result of the early termination and the Maker agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing.  THE MAKER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW WHICH PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM OR DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION OF THIS NOTE, ANY RECISSION OF SUCH ACCELERATION, THE EARLIER MATURITY OF THIS NOTE OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING OR OTHER PROCEEDING PURSUANT TO ANY DEBTOR RELIEF LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION.  The Maker expressly agrees that: (A) the Prepayment Premium and any discount on the loan provided for herein is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Payee and the Maker giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium and (D) the Maker shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.  The Maker expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to the Payee as herein described is a material inducement to the Payee to accept this Note.

11. Obligors’ Representations. Each Obligor represents and warrants to the Payee, that as at the date of the Original Date and the date of this Note:(a) General Representations. It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Note.  It has duly authorized and taken all other appropriate action for the execution, delivery and performance of this Note and any other document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith and the consummation of the transactions provided for in this Note.  It has duly executed and delivered this Note and this Note constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws and by equitable principles, whether considered at law or in equity.  Its execution and delivery of this Note, the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Note and the fulfillment of the terms of this Note will not (i) conflict with or violate any of its constitutive documents or its contractual obligations, (ii) conflict with or violate any order, judgment or decree of governmental authority binding on it, (iii) require any approval of its equity holders or any approval or consent of any Person under any contractual obligation of such Obligor, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the date hereof, or (iv) conflict with or violate any applicable laws, or (v) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties or assets (other than any Liens created hereunder).  It has duly obtained, effected or given all authorizations, consents, licenses, orders or approvals of or registrations or declarations with any governmental authority or any other Person required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this Note, and such authorizations, consents, licenses, orders or approvals of or registrations or declarations are in full force and effect. There has been no increase in salary or other compensation (cash or otherwise) payable or to become payable to any director, officer, contractor or advisor of an Obligor. There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or governmental authority pending against or, to the knowledge of such Obligor, threatened against or affecting any Premier Party (A) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (B) that involve this Note or the transactions contemplated hereby. It is not an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of such Obligor in connection with this Note contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(b) Collateral Representations. It owns the Collateral purported to be owned by it or otherwise has rights or the power to transfer rights in the Collateral in which it purports to grant a security interest hereunder and no Lien exists upon the Collateral other than (i) the security interest created or provided for herein and (ii) Permitted Liens. The full and correct legal name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization and mailing address of each Obligor are correctly set forth in Schedule 1. Except as set forth in the disclosures in the first six paragraphs of Item 1 of Part 1 of the Maker’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014, no Obligor has been known by or used any other legal or fictitious name or been a party to any merger or consolidation, or acquired all of the assets of any Person, or acquired any of its property or assets out of such Obligor’s ordinary course of business. Except as expressly disclosed to the Lender or otherwise publicly disclosed whether pursuant to regulatory requirements or otherwise, each obligor has not changed its location (as defined in Section 9-307 of the UCC), (B) changed its name, (C) heretofore become a “new debtor” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(56) of the UCC) with respect to a currently effective security agreement previously entered into by any other Person, who is not an Obligor, or (D) changed its identity or corporate structure. The RMST Shares constitute and will constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of RMST and the Maker is and will at all times while the Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent indemnity obligations) be the sole holder of record and the legal and beneficial owner, free and clear of all Liens, of the RMST Shares, and there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, the RMST Shares. Schedule 2 correctly identifies the RMST Shares and the par value of the RMST Shares as of the date hereof. All certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing the RMST Shares have been delivered to the Payee in a suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank. The RMST Shares are duly authorized, validly existing, fully paid and non-assessable, and none of the RMST Shares are or will be while the Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent indemnity obligations) subject to any contractual restriction, or any restriction under the organizational documents of RMST, upon the pledge or, except as set forth in the Titanic Documents, transfer, assignment, disposal or sale thereof.

Upon execution of this Note, the Zhang Note and the Feng Note, the Original Note shall be canceled and voided ab initio, and shall cease to be legally valid or effective.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Premier Exhibitions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Maker”) hereby promises to pay to the order of Lange Feng (the “Payee”), the principal sum of One MILLION US DOLLARS (US$1,000,000) together with interest, in the manner described herein. Certain terms used herein are defined in Annex A.

 

1. Draw Downs. The Maker hereby acknowledges that it received from the Lender, and the Lender represents and warrants that she transferred to Maker the amount of US$1,000,000 (the “Loan”) on or about December 10, 2015.

 

The Lender acknowledges that the Original Note contemplated a total of US$5,000,000 in loans to the Maker. The Lender acknowledges and agrees that, since only US$1,000,000 will be loaned to the Maker under this Note and under each of Zhang Note and Zou Note, for a total of US$3,000,000, the Maker shall have the right to raise the amount of US$2,000,000 (the “Additional Loan”) to make up for the shortfall. In connection with the foregoing, the Lender agrees that the Additional Loan and any of the guaranteed interests, security rights or Collateral created under this Note will rank pari passu with the Loan.

 

2. Payments of Principal. Subject to the acceleration provisions of Section 10, all unpaid principal, fees and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on August 1, 2017. (the “Maturity Date”).

 

3. Interest. The unpaid principal amount of this Note shall accrue interest on the basis of a 360 day year at 12% per annum, provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of the Payee (other than with respect to an Event of Default under Section 9(e) hereof, in which case it shall be automatic), the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any accrued and unpaid interest and all other overdue amounts shall each bear interest until paid at the stated rate plus 3% per annum. Accrued interest shall be payable (a) upon the payment or prepayment of any principal owing under this Note (but only on the principal amount so paid or prepaid), (b) on the last business day of each month and (c) on the Maturity Date.

 

4. Prepayments. Immediately upon a Change of Control, the Maker shall repay all unpaid principal at 105% of the principal amount outstanding plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts hereunder. In addition, subject to the below, the Maker may at any time and from time to time prepay any principal amount of this Note in whole or in part subject to the below. Any repayment or prepayment, whether voluntary, mandatory, upon acceleration, or otherwise shall be made at 105% of the principal amount hereof. If the Maker elects to prepay all or any part of this Note, it shall provide written notice of such election (a "Prepayment Notice") to the Payee fixing a date for prepayment of such amounts (the "Prepayment Date"), which date shall not be earlier than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of the Prepayment Notice (provided that the Maker shall have confirmed the Payee’s receipt of the Prepayment Notice on or prior to such date).

 

 

 

5. Payment Terms. All payments of principal of, and interest upon, this Note shall be made by the Maker to the Lender and shall be paid in cash in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States by wire transfer to the bank account designated by the Payee in writing from time to time. All payments under this Note shall be made without withholding, defense, set-off, counterclaim or deduction. Payments and prepayments made to the Payee by the Maker hereunder shall be applied first to expenses recoverable under Section 16, then accrued interest and then to principal. If the due date of any payment under this Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a business day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding business day, and interest shall be payable on any principal so extended for the period of such extension

 

6. Use of Proceeds. Proceeds from the advances hereunder from the Lender shall be used for the normal course of the Maker’s business operations only pursuant to the terms and conditions hereunder.

 

7. Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee to the Payee and its successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under the Debtor Relief Laws) of the Obligations. The Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if the Maker shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under the Debtor Relief Laws) any of the Obligations strictly in accordance with the terms of any document or agreement evidencing any such Obligations, including in the amounts, in the currency and at the place expressly agreed to thereunder, irrespective of and without giving effect to any law, order, decree or regulation in effect from time to time of the jurisdiction where the Maker, any Guarantor or any other person obligated on any such Obligations is located, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

The guarantee in this Section 7 is a continuing guarantee and is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

(h) there shall have occurred any condition or event that has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

 

(i) any Obligor shall contest the validity or enforceability of any part of this Note.

 

10. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 9(e) above, the principal amount of this Note together with any interest thereon, all fees and all other Obligations (including the Prepayment Premium) shall become immediately and automatically due and payable, without presentment, demand, notice, protest or other requirements of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Maker). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Payee may, by written notice to the Maker, declare the principal amount of this Note together with any interest thereon to be due and payable, and the principal amount of this Note together with any such interest shall thereupon immediately become due and payable without presentment, further notice, protest or other requirements of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Maker). Following any such demand, the Maker shall immediately pay to such holder all amounts due and payable with respect to this Note. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing the Payee shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Payee were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Obligor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right), in each case subject to the Payee’s compliance with the Titanic Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Payee’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Titanic Proceeds and Agreement, and the rights and obligations of any subsequent transferee (but not a pledgee) of the RMST Shares, are governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Titanic Documents.

 

If the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, including because of default, sale, transfer or encumbrance (including that by operation of law or otherwise), the Prepayment Premium will also be automatically due and payable regardless of whether the Obligations were voluntarily or involuntarily prepaid, repaid, paid, satisfied, distributed or discharged and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of the Payee’s lost profits as a result thereof.  Any Prepayment Premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by the Payee as the result of the early termination and the Maker agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing.  THE MAKER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW WHICH PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM OR DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION OF THIS NOTE, ANY RECISSION OF SUCH ACCELERATION, THE EARLIER MATURITY OF THIS NOTE OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING OR OTHER PROCEEDING PURSUANT TO ANY DEBTOR RELIEF LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION.  The Maker expressly agrees that: (A) the Prepayment Premium and any discount on the loan provided for herein is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Payee and the Maker giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium and (D) the Maker shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.  The Maker expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to the Payee as herein described is a material inducement to the Payee to accept this Note.

The RMST Shares constitute and will constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of RMST and the Maker is and will at all times while the Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent indemnity obligations) be the sole holder of record and the legal and beneficial owner, free and clear of all Liens, of the RMST Shares, and there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to purchase, or shareholder, voting trust or similar agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, the RMST Shares.

All certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing the RMST Shares have been delivered to the Payee in a suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank.

This release is intended by the Employee to be all encompassing and to act as a full and total release of any claims the Employee may have or have had against the Employer and/or the Premier Released Parties from the beginning of the Employee’s relationship with the Employer to the date of this Agreement, including but not limited to all claims in contract (whether written or oral, express or implied), tort, equity and common law; any claims for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, or breach of the obligation of good faith and fair dealing; and any claims under any local, state or federal constitution, statute, law, ordinance, bylaw, or regulation dealing with OSHA and/or otherwise pertaining to workplace safety or either employment, employment discrimination and/or employment benefits and/or those laws, statutes or regulations concerning discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, sexual harassment, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, handicap or disability, veteran status, or any military service or application for military service or any other category protected by law (including, without limitation, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”); Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code; The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") [except for any vested benefits under any tax qualified benefit plan]; The Immigration Reform and Control Act; The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; The Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; and The Fair Credit Reporting Act), and including any basis for recovering costs, fees, or other expenses including attorneys' fees incurred in these matters.

 

4.The Employee not only releases, discharges and indemnifies the Premier Released Parties from any and all claims as stated above that he or she could make on his or her own behalf or on the behalf of others, but also those claims that might be made by any other person or organization on the Employee's behalf. The Employee also specifically waives any right to recover any damage awards as a member of any class in a case in which any claims against the Premier Released Parties are made involving any matters arising out of the Employee's employment with and/or termination of employment with the Employer.

Subject to the Employee’s other personal and professional obligations and on reasonable notice and at reasonable times, the Employee will cooperate with the Employer and its counsel in connection with any investigation, administrative or regulatory proceeding or litigation relating to any matter in which the Employee was involved or of which the Employee has knowledge as a result of the Employee’s employment with the Employer and/or any of the Released Parties.

7.The Employee's execution of this Agreement operates as a complete bar and defense against any and all of the released claims against the Employer and/or any of the Premier Released Parties. If the Employee or his/her heirs, successors, representatives, or assigns, should make any claims against the Employer and/or any of the Released Parties in a charge, complaint, action, claim, or proceeding (with the exception of claims to enforce this Agreement and claims not released herein), this Agreement may be raised as and shall constitute a complete bar to any such charge, complaint, action, claim, or proceeding, and the Employer and/or any of the Premier Released Parties shall be entitled to and shall recover from the Employee all costs incurred, including attorneys’ fees, in defending against any such charge, complaint, action, claim, or proceeding to the fullest extent.

 

8.Employer voluntarily agrees to release and discharge the Employee and his heirs, executors, administrators and trustees generally from all claims, demands, actions, suits, damages, debts, judgments and liabilities of every name and nature, whether existing or contingent, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted, in law or in equity in connection with the Employee’s employment by and/or termination from the Employer. This release is intended by the Employer to be all encompassing and to act as a full and total release of any claims the Employer may have or have had against the Employee from the beginning of the Employee’s relationship with the Employer to the date of this Agreement, including but not limited to all claims in contract (whether written or oral, express or implied), tort, equity and common law; breach of contract, or breach of the obligation of good faith and fair dealing.

 

9.This Agreement is for the purpose of settling all differences between the Employee and the Employer and is not an admission of any party of any liability or fault whatsoever.

 

10.The Employee agrees that if he/she ever challenges the enforceability of this Agreement, the Employer shall be entitled to seek and receive repayment of all monies received in consideration for this Agreement. The Employee understands that if a court of competent jurisdiction should ultimately determine that this Agreement is unenforceable as against him/her, he/she will then be able to sue the Employer for such damages and other relief, but will have forfeited any and all rights to any monies previously provided to him/her hereunder.

Premier Exhibitions Inc. Issues Shareholder Update Letter

 

Atlanta, April 12, 2016 -- Premier Exhibitions, Inc. (the “Company” or “Premier”) (OTCQB:PRXI), a leading presenter of quality touring exhibitions around the world, today announced the issuance of a letter by the Executive Chairman, President and CEO, Daoping Bao, to update shareholders on Company progress.

 

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

 

Thank you for your commitment to Premier Exhibitions, Inc. In January, we provided a corporate update that outlined the immediate priorities for the Company. Management, the employees, and our partners have worked tirelessly toward these strategic objectives.

 

Strategic Objective #1: Stabilize expenses with improved oversight and controls

 

Update:

Since the merger, Premier has made organizational changes to reduce general and administrative expenses across the Company. In addition to rewriting travel and expense policies, lowering the threshold for expenses that require approval, establishing a more disciplined approach to contract negotiation, and approving any binding agreements company-wide, the Company has also:

 

-Made significant management changes. These changes include the departure of John Norman as President of Premier’s subsidiaries Premier Exhibition Management, LLC and Arts & Exhibitions International, LLC, as of March 21, 2016.

 

-Reduced legacy Premier compensation by approximately US$1.5 million per year since the date of the merger. Along with the departure of Mr. Norman, the Company completed a reduction in headcount to further consolidate operations and streamline production. We also experienced voluntary staff departures in positions we do not intend to fill, which contributed to the reduction in compensation related costs.

 

-Reduced Corporate Leasehold Expenses. The Company reached an agreement to terminate its office lease at Tower Place in Atlanta, which has allowed us to consolidate corporate office and warehouse needs. This office space restructuring will result in approximately US$240,000 in annual cost savings.

 

-Improved Inventory Controls. Since the merger, our internal teams have worked to consolidate warehouse space and implement a comprehensive inventory database for equipment, lighting, tools, and exhibitry elements. This work has been partially completed and the teams have identified surplus assets which could potentially be monetized.

 

 

 

Strategic Objective #2: Explore opportunities in Asia

 

Update:

The Company continues its negotiations on a strategic relationship with Macau Legend Development Ltd. and its large-scale redevelopment of Macau’s Fisherman Wharf.  The Company provided design services for the project, which includes fossil exhibits as well as media content and interactive elements to provide an engaging visitor experience. While the conceptual design work for the project has substantially been completed, there is no assurance the current negotiations will result in a definitive agreement.

 

The Titanic artifacts are of particular interest in Asia, and we are exploring opportunities to exhibit our unique collections.  Venue discussions are in various stages and the Company will provide further detail once agreements have been executed.

 

Strategic Objective #3: Improve ticket sales and gross margin at the Company’s permanent venues.

 

Update:

The Company has critically reviewed its permanent venue structure and identified opportunities to reduce its cost structure and redistribute assets to focus on profitability. While increases in ticket sales will require longer term marketing efforts, the Company has taken steps to significantly reduce costs at all of its existing venues.

 

As of April 17, 2016, our Buena Park facility will be closing because the landlord is reclaiming the building for redevelopment. At this time, the Company has no plan to re-open a permanent venue in this market.

 

The Company is also working with its landlord to explore its options under the “Premier Exhibitions on 5th Avenue” lease in New York City. While the Company had high expectations for the New York City Venue, our ticket sales at that location have not covered the high costs of rent in that market and have resulted in losses to date. We will make further announcements when these plans are finalized.

 

We have also elected to end our use of the remaining two sets licensed from Dr. Hongjin Sui and his affiliates, under which Premier licensed the use of anatomical specimens for use in our BODIES series of exhibitions. Premier will continue to present its “BODIES” exhibitions at its permanent venues in Las Vegas and Atlanta, and will likewise continue to present traveling Bodies exhibitions when presented with good opportunities, in all cases utilizing other sets of human anatomy specimens owned by the Company. The termination of this license agreement will reduce our operating costs by over US$1 million annually.

 

Bridge Financing

 

In our January update to shareholders, we outlined the negotiated terms and timeline for up to US$5 million in Bridge Financing from a lending group. The Note provided that the Company would make draws of: (i) US$1 million on or before December 10, 2015; (ii) US$1 million, on or before December 18, 2015; (iii) US$1 million on or before December 31, 2015, and (iv) at the election of the lending group, up to an additional $2 million. The Company received a US$1 million draw in December, a US$500,000 draw in January, and a US$1.5 million draw in April. The delays in receiving the funding required careful management of the Company’s cash balances. We relied heavily on the patience and commitment of our vendors and partners through this time.

 

 

 

At the time of, and as a condition to, receiving the last US$1.5 million in funding, the Company entered into replacement notes with each individual member of the lending group as replacements for the original note. These replacement notes do not provide the Company the ability to request the remaining US$2 million in funding, and the Company does not anticipate receiving this additional funding from these lenders in the future.

 

Financial disclosures

 

The Company has not yet filed our required Form 8-K/A that will provide proforma combined financials for the period ending September 30, 2015, and this process has similarly delayed our filing of our Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2015. We now expect to file the Form 8-K/A during the last week in April, and expect to file the Form 10-K approximately 45 days following that filing.

 

Restatement of Financials

 

We have identified discrepancies in the accounting treatment of capital leases for Dinoking Tech, Inc., and have been working to restate financial information for pre-merger periods. We have prepared preliminary financial information (unaudited) demonstrating the impact to the historical financial information of DinoKing Tech. However, these amounts are preliminary, unaudited, and will not be finalized until the related audit is complete.

 

The restatement results from the interpretation of complex accounting standards regarding lease accounting, in particular with respect to accounting for the modification of lease contracts, which dictate the reporting of revenue in periods where the company has ongoing service obligations. The general result of the restatement is to defer revenue previously recognized in fiscal years 2013 and 2014, resulting in a decrease in reported income during fiscal years 2013 and 2014, and an increase in reported income for the first nine months of 2015 and for future periods.

 

For fiscal year 2013, the restatement will reduce reported revenues of Dinoking Tech for that period from Cdn$6.4 million to Cdn$5.4 million; will reduce cost of sales from Cdn$2.5 million to Cdn$1.6 million; and will reduce operating income from Cdn$1.0 million to Cdn$0.7 million. For fiscal year 2014, the restatement will reduce reported revenues of Dinoking Tech for that period from Cdn$11.1 million to Cdn$6.0 million; will reduce cost of sales from Cdn$1.6 million to Cdn$1.0 million; and will reduce operating income from Cdn$6.5 million to Cdn$2.1 million.

 

Consolidated year to date revenues for Dinoking through September 30, 2015, were approximately Cdn$5.35 million with associated cost of goods sold of Cdn$0.49 million, generating gross margin of approximately Cdn$4.8 million or gross margin percent of 91%. Operating income before taxes for the first nine months of 2015 is expected to be Cdn$1.68 million.

 

 

 

 

Estimated Earnings

 

Because the review for the period ending September 30, 2015, has not yet concluded, we cannot with certainty provide our results for that period. However, based on work to date, we expect the revenues of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. for the period ending September 30, 2015, to be approximately US$20.2 million with associated cost of goods sold of US$16.2 million, generating gross margin of approximately US$4 million or gross margin percent of 19.8%. Net loss before taxes for the first nine months of 2015 is expected to be US$11.6 million. Because this period is pre-merger, these figures do not include the results of Dinoking Tech, Inc. for that period.

 

Working Capital

 

As of April 12th, Premier has approximately US$5.5 million of current accounts payable and accrued liabilities outstanding and approximately US$1.9 million in available cash.

 

Titanic

 

Finally, I would like to reiterate the Company’s commitment to explore strategic opportunities with the TITANIC artifacts to enhance value for all shareholders. We are actively seeking options and creative solutions which will allow us to unlock additional value including developing additional revenue streams with our intellectual property, expanding our Titanic exhibitions into China, and exploring all other long-term options for the artifacts that enhance shareholder value. We are also pursuing a sale of the entire artifact collection, in accordance with the covenants and conditions imposed by the court in the Titanic case.

 

Closing

 

When I stepped into the role of Executive Chairman, I understood that leading this Company was going to be a challenge. Before we can get to the optimistic future of Premier, we have to deal with the immediate legacy issues and financial hurdles. Our current cash balance is extremely low; we are taking all reasonable steps to stabilize the Company. It is a daily challenge, one in which we are completely vested.

 

I assure you, I have never backed down from a challenge. I have heard your concerns, and I ask that you look at what we have accomplished in a short time and give me time to honor your investment. It is my sincere goal to stabilize the Company’s finances and return it to profitability.

 

  Sincerely
 
  Daoping Bao
  Executive Chairman
  President & CEO
