Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement by and among LFP Broadcasting,  Flynt Broadcast and New Frontier, dated October 15, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, on October 29, 2012, LFP Broadcasting and Flynt Broadcast commenced the offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding Shares, at the Offer Price (as defined below).  

The Offer expired, as originally scheduled, at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on November 27, 2012 (the end of the day). Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., the depositary for the Offer, has advised LFP Broadcasting that as of such time approximately 14,363,687 Shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer (including 1,570,298 Shares delivered through Notices of Guaranteed Delivery), representing in the aggregate approximately 83.1% of the outstanding Shares (on a fully-diluted basis, including Shares issuable under any outstanding warrants or options that were exercisable as of such date). LFP Broadcasting accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn and is paying all tendering shareholders $2.02 per Share, net to the seller in cash without interest, plus a contingent cash payment right in the amount of $0.04  per share for each Share (together, the “Offer Price”). Flynt Broadcast and LFP Broadcasting paid an aggregate of $33,504,279.00 to holders of Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer and the Merger, which was funded through Flynt Broadcast’s available cash and cash equivalents.   After the purchase of Shares in the Offer, Flynt Broadcast exercised its options to purchase the Top-Up Shares (as described below) and on November 29, 2012 effected a “short-form” merger in which Flynt Broadcast was merged with and into New Frontier without a meeting of shareholders (the “Merger”).  

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) New Frontier was the surviving corporation in the Merger and now is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LFP Broadcasting, and (ii) other than shares owned by New Frontier, LFP Broadcasting, or Flynt Broadcast as treasury stock or by stockholders of New Frontier who validly exercise their dissenters’ rights in accordance with Article 113 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act, each outstanding Share not validly tendered, accepted for payment and paid for pursuant to the Offer was converted into the right to receive the same consideration, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, received by holders who tendered their Shares in the Offer.  

In order to accomplish the Merger as a “short-form” merger, Flynt Broadcast exercised its top-up option pursuant to the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Flynt Broadcast purchased 27,701,896 additional Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”) on November 28, 2012 directly from New Frontier for the same amount of consideration paid per share to the shareholders in the Offer.  The aggregate amount paid by Flynt Broadcast for the Top-Up Shares was $57,063,135.57.  Flynt Broadcast paid for the Top-Up Shares by delivery of cash equal to the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares and a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price pursuant to the Top-Up Option less the amount paid in cash.

On November 28, 2012, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of Flynt Broadcast (all of which were held by LFP Broadcasting) was converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Surviving Corporation, resulting in the Surviving Corporation becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of LFP Broadcasting.  

The information set forth under Item 3 is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

The purpose of the transactions described in this Statement was for LFP Broadcasting, through Flynt Broadcast, to acquire control of, and the entire equity interest in, New Frontier.  The Offer, as the first step in the acquisition of New Frontier, was intended to facilitate the acquisition of all outstanding Shares.  The purpose of the Merger was to acquire all of the outstanding Shares not tendered and purchased pursuant to the Offer.

From and after the Effective Time and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) the directors of Flynt Broadcast became and will serve as directors of the Surviving Corporation, (ii) the officers of the New Frontier immediately prior to the Effective Time became and will be the officers of the Surviving Corporation and (iii) Flynt Broadcast’s charter and bylaws, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, became and will be the charter and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

Following the Merger, the Shares are no longer traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market Global Select Market, there is no public market for the Shares and registration of the Shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will be terminated.

All information contained in the Offer to Purchase filed as Exhibit (A)(a)(1) to the Schedule TO-T filed by LFP Broadcasting and Flynt Broadcast on October 29, 2012 (as subsequently amended), is incorporated herein.

The information set forth under Items 3 and 6 is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.  

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a) and (b). As of the date hereof LFP Broadcasting was the direct record owner of and may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 1,000 shares of common stock par value $0.0001, of the Surviving Corporation, representing 1,000 of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Surviving Corporation.


(c) On November 28, 2012, Flynt Broadcast accepted for purchase all Shares that were validly tendered in connection with the Offer and the guaranteed delivery procedures thereunder, being 14,363,687 Shares.


In addition, in order to accomplish the Merger as a “short-form” merger, Flynt Broadcast exercised its top-up option pursuant to the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Flynt Broadcast purchased 27,701,896 Top-Up Shares on November 28, 2012 directly from New Frontier for the same amount of consideration paid per share to the shareholders in the Offer.  The aggregate amount paid by Flynt Broadcast for the Top-Up Shares was $57,063,135.57.  Flynt Broadcast paid for the Top-Up Shares by delivery of cash equal to the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares and a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price pursuant to the Top-Up Option less the amount paid in cash.


In connection with the Merger on November 28, 2012, (i) all Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Merger that were not held by LFP Broadcasting or its affiliates, were cancelled and purchased for $2.06 in cash per Share, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes and (ii) each share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of Flynt Broadcast (all of which were held by LFP Broadcast) was converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Surviving Corporation, resulting in the Surviving Corporation becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of LFP Broadcasting.


(d) and (e) Not applicable.
