Item
1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
November 7, 2007, Mediavest, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Mediavest”),
merged with and into Mandalay Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of Mediavest (“Mandalay”), in order to effect the
reincorporation of Mediavest from the State of New Jersey to the State of
Delaware (the “Reincorporation”) pursuant to a Plan and Agreement of Merger
dated September 27, 2007 (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Mediavest
and Mandalay became a single corporation named Mandalay Media, Inc. (hereinafter
referred to as the “Surviving Corporation” or the “Company”) which exists under,
and is governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware.
As
a
result of the Merger: (1) each outstanding share of Mediavest common stock,
par
value $0.0001 per share (the “Mediavest Common Stock”), converted into one share
of Mandalay common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Mandalay Common
Stock”); (2) each outstanding share of Mediavest preferred stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (the “Mediavest Preferred Stock”), converted into one share of
Mandalay preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Mandalay Preferred
Stock”), with each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$0.0001 per share, of Mediavest (the “Mediavest Series A Preferred Stock”)
converting into one share of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value
$0.0001 per share, of Mandalay (the “Mandalay Series A Preferred Stock”); (3)
each outstanding share of Mandalay Common Stock or Mandalay Preferred Stock
held
by Mediavest was retired and cancelled and resumed the status of authorized
and
unissued Mandalay Common Stock or Mandalay Preferred Stock; (4) each share
of
Mediavest Common Stock and Mediavest Preferred Stock was cancelled and retired;
(5) Mediavest ceased to exist; and (6) Mandalay (i) acceded to all of the
rights, privileges, immunities and powers of Mediavest, (ii) acquired all of
the
property of Mediavest whether real, personal, or mixed, and (iii) assumed all
of
the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of Mediavest. The Surviving
Corporation’s authorized capital stock consists of 101,000,000 shares of
authorized capital stock, including 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.0001 per share, 100,000 shares of which are designated as Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock.
Upon
the
effectiveness and as a result of the Reincorporation and Merger, the Surviving
Corporation assumed the certificate of incorporation of Mandalay (the
“Certificate of Incorporation”) and the bylaws of Mandalay (the “Bylaws”). A
copy of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are attached hereto as
Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
The
Company entered into an employment letter (the “Employment Letter”) with Bruce
Stein, effective as of November 7, 2007, pursuant to which Mr. Stein will be
the
Chief Operating Officer of the Company commencing on January 1, 2008 (or earlier
at the option of Mr. Stein) at an initial base salary of $250,000 per year.
Mr.
Stein’s employment will be for a term of two years. Mr. Stein was also appointed
as a director of the Company, effective immediately. The Company granted Mr.
Stein an option to purchase 550,000 shares pursuant to the Company’s 2007
Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, as set forth in more detail Item
3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by
reference, 500,000 of which were granted on November 7, 2007, at an exercise
price of $2.65 per share, and 50,000 of which will be granted on January 2,
2008, at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the closing trading
price of the common stock on January 2, 2008. The foregoing description of
the
Employment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Employment Letter, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Item
3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On
November 7, 2007, the Company entered into non-qualified stock option agreements
with certain of its directors and officers (the “Option Holders”) pursuant to
its 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, as described in more
detail in Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, whereby the Company
issued options (the “Options”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of
its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The Option Holders include James
Lefkowitz, President of the Company, Robert Zangrillo, a director of the
Company, and Bruce Stein, a director of the Company and beginning on January
1,
2008 (or earlier at the option of Mr. Stein) Chief Operating Officer of the
Company, each of whom was granted an Option to purchase 500,000 shares in
connection with services provided to the Company. The Options have a ten year
term and are exercisable at a price of $2.65 per share. The Options for Messrs.
Zangrillo and Stein become exercisable over a two year period, with one-third
of
the Options granted vesting immediately upon grant, an additional one-third
vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and the remaining
one-third on the second anniversary of the date of grant. The Options for Mr.
Lefkowitz also become exercisable over a two year period, with one-third of
the
Options granted vesting immediately upon grant, an additional one-third vesting
on June 28, 2008, and the remainder vesting on June 28, 2009. The Options were
granted pursuant to the exemption from registration permitted under Rule 506
of
Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item
3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
As
set
forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated
herein by reference, as a result of the Reincorporation and Merger, each
outstanding share of Mediavest Common Stock was converted into one share of
Mandalay Common Stock, so that the holders of all the issued and outstanding
shares of Mediavest Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger became the
holders of Mandalay Common Stock. In addition, each outstanding share of
Mediavest Preferred Stock was converted into one share of Mandalay Preferred
Stock, with each share of Mediavest Series A Preferred Stock converting into
one
share of Mandalay Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Mandalay Common Stock
and Mandalay Preferred Stock held by Mediavest immediately prior to the Merger
were retired and cancelled upon the consummation of the Merger.
Prior
to
the Merger, the authorized capital of Mediavest consisted of 100,000,000 shares
of common stock, of which 21,730,000 shares were outstanding and 1,000,000
shares of preferred stock, of which 100,000 shares were outstanding, all of
which were Mediavest Series A Preferred Stock. As a result of the Merger, the
Company has approximately 21,730,000 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding and 100,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, all
of
which are shares of Mandalay Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, 3,000,000
shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2007
Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, as described in more detail in
Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

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

to
the Company, the Mediavest Board granted each of them Options, as set forth
in
Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein
by
reference.
Except
as
provided in Items 1.01 and 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there are
no
arrangements or understandings between Messrs. Zangrillo or Stein and any other
person pursuant to which each was appointed as a director of the Company or

are
no transactions to which the Company is a party and in which Messrs. Zangrillo

previously held any positions in the Company, and do not have family relations
with any directors or executive officers of the Company.
(e)
As
of
November 7, 2007, the Company implemented its previously approved 2007 Employee,
Director and Consultant Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The material terms of the Plan
are described below.
The
Plan
authorizes (1) the issuance of stock grants and other stock-based awards to
the
Company’s employees, directors and consultants, (2) the grant of incentive stock
options to the Company’s employees and (3) the grant of non-qualified options to
the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. The purpose of these awards
is to attract and retain key personnel by providing long term, equity-based
incentives through ownership in the Company.
Stock
options granted under the Plan may either be incentive stock options or
non-qualified stock options. The exercise price per share of a stock option,
which is determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of
Directors”), may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common
stock on the date of grant. If an incentive stock option is granted to an
optionee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the
Company, the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value
of the common stock on the date of grant.
An
optionee’s ability to exercise his or her shares is subject to the vesting of
the option. At the time of the grant, a vesting period is established, which
generally extends over a period of a few years. After the option vests, an
optionee will be able to exercise the option with respect to the vested portion
of the shares and ultimately with respect to all of the vested shares, until
the
expiration or termination of the option. For non-qualified options the term
of
the option is determined by the Board of Directors. For incentive stock options
the term of the option is not more than ten years. However, if the optionee
owns
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company, the term of
the
incentive stock option will be no longer than five years. In the event of an
option participant’s termination of service with the Company, he or she may
exercise his or her option within the term designated in the participant’s
option agreement. In general, if the termination is due to death or disability,
the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. Upon termination for cause,
as
defined and described in the Plan, a participant’s options shall immediately
terminate.
The
Plan
also provides for the issuance of an outright grant of common stock or a stock
grant that is deemed restricted. Restricted stock is common stock that is
subject to a prohibition against transfer and a substantial risk of forfeiture,
until the end of a “restricted period” during which the grantee must satisfy
certain vesting conditions. If the grantee does not satisfy the vesting
conditions by the end of the restricted period, the restricted stock is
forfeited to the Company. During the restricted period, the holder of restricted
stock has the rights and privileges of a regular shareholder, except that the
restrictions set forth in the applicable award agreement apply. For example,
the
holder of restricted stock may vote and receive dividends on the restricted
shares; but he or she may not sell the shares until the restrictions are lifted.
The Plan also authorizes the grant of other types of stock-based compensation
including, but not limited to stock appreciation rights, phantom stock awards,
and stock unit awards.
In
the
event of the Company’s merger with or into another corporation, or a sale of all
or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a transaction to merely
change the state of incorporation, each outstanding option must either be (1)
assumed by the successor corporation or substituted with an equivalent option
or
(2) if not assumed or substituted, the Board of Directors shall provide either
(i) that all options shall become exercisable for a defined period after which
they will terminate or (ii) that all options shall terminate in exchange for
cash payment equal to the value of the option shares less the exercise price.
The Plan also provides for similar provisions with respect to outstanding stock
grants and other stock-based awards.
The
Plan
automatically terminates on September 27, 2017, unless it is terminated earlier
by a vote of the Company’s shareholders or the Board of Directors; provided,
however, that any such action does not affect the rights of any participants
of
the Plan. In addition, the Plan may be amended by the shareholders of the
Company or the Board of Directors, subject to shareholder approval if the Board
of Directors determines it is of a scope that requires shareholder approval.
