ITEM
1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
The
Acquisition
As
previously disclosed in that Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2008, Mandalay Media, Inc.,
a
Delaware corporation (“Mandalay”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement on
October 8, 2008 (the “Original Agreement”), with Jonathan Cresswell
(“Cresswell”), Nathaniel MacLeitch (“MacLeitch,” and together with Cresswell,
the “Founding Sellers”) and certain shareholders of AMV Holding Limited, a
United Kingdom private limited company (“AMV”) signatories thereto (the
“Non-Founding Sellers”), pursuant to which Mandalay would acquire 100% of the
issued and outstanding share capital of AMV and 80% of the issued and
outstanding share capital of Fierce Media Limited, a United Kingdom private
limited company (“Fierce,” and together with AMV, the “Acquired Companies”) (the
“Acquisition”).
On
October 23, 2008, Mandalay entered into an Amendment to the Stock Purchase
Agreement (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties agreed that any
costs, expenses or liabilities incurred by AMV in connection with that certain
Senior Secured Note, issued by Twistbox Entertainment, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Mandalay (“Twistbox”), to ValueAct SmallCap Master Fund, L.P.
(“ValueAct”), due January 30, 2010, as amended on February 12, 2008 (the
“ValueAct Note”), and as subsequently amended on October 23, 2008 (as set forth
below): (i) shall not be considered to be current liabilities of AMV, for
purposes of the determination of AMV’s working capital and (ii) shall be
excluded from the determination of EBITDA for purposes of the calculation of
any
earn-out payments under the Original Agreement. The foregoing description is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The
Acquisition was consummated on October 23, 2008, as more fully described in
Item
2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
ValueAct
In
connection with the Acquisition, on October 23, 2008 Mandalay, Twistbox and
ValueAct entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the
ValueAct Note. Among other things, the Second Amendment provides for a payment
in kind election, whereby, in lieu of making any cash payments to ValueAct
on
the following two interest payment dates, Twistbox may elect that the amount
of
any interest due on such date be added to the principal amount due under the
ValueAct Note. In addition, ValueAct agreed to amend the ValueAct Note to modify
the covenant requiring that Mandalay and Twistbox maintain certain minimum
combined cash balances. Lastly, the Second Amendment provides that an event
of
default may be triggered in the event Mandalay fails to observe certain
covenants as agreed to in the Second Amendment, including a covenant that,
until
all principal and interest and any other amounts due under the ValueAct Note
are
paid in full in cash, Mandalay: (i) will not create, incur, assume or permit
to
exist certain indebtedness, except for indebtedness in connection with a
receivables facility as described in the Second Amendment, which indebtedness
would rank pari passu in right of payment on the ValueAct Note, provided, that
any receivables used to procure and maintain such receivables facility shall
not
be subject to any lien of ValueAct during the term of such receivables facility;
and (ii) will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to, without the prior
consent of ValueAct, prepay any indebtedness incurred in connection with the
AMV
Note, as described in Item 2.01, other than prepayments with proceeds raised
in
an equity financing as permitted by the AMV Note. The foregoing description
is
qualified in its entirety to the Second Amendment, which is attached hereto
as
Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Additionally,
on October 23, 2008, in connection with the ValueAct Note, as amended, AMV
agreed to grant to ValueAct a security interest in its assets, which ranks
senior to the security interest granted to the Sellers as described in Item
2.01
of this Current Report on Form 8-K. AMV also agreed to guarantee Twistbox’s
repayment of the ValueAct Note.
As
previously disclosed in that Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2008, Mandalay issued to
ValueAct two warrants to purchase shares of Mandalay common stock, $0.0001
par
value per share (the “Common Stock”). One warrant entitles ValueAct to purchase
up to a total of 1,092,622 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$7.55 per share (“$7.55 Warrant”). The other warrant entitles ValueAct to
purchase up to a total of 1,092,621 shares of Common Stock at an initial
exercise price of $5.00 per share (“$5.00 Warrant,” and together with the $7.55
Warrant, the “ValueAct Warrants”). On October 23, 2008, Mandalay and ValueAct
entered into an allonge to each of the ValueAct Warrants. Among other things,
the exercise price of each of the ValueAct Warrants was amended to be $4.00
per
share. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference
to
each of the allonges, which are attached as Exhibit 4.2 and Exhibit 4.3 and
incorporated by reference herein.
Employment
Agreements
In
connection with the closing of the Acquisition, each of Messrs. MacLeitch and
Cresswell entered into full-time employment agreements with AMV. Under the
terms
of their employment agreements, they each will serve as a joint managing
director of AMV. Both employment agreements contain certain restrictive
covenants including covenants that prohibit them from disclosing information
and
property that is confidential to AMV, an agreement not to compete with AMV,
and
an agreement that ownership of inventions, ideas, copyrights, patents and other
intellectual property, which may be used in the business of AMV, whether in
existence at the time of employment or coming into existence in the future,
are
the sole property of AMV. Each employment agreement provides for an annual
base
salary of £60,000, subject to increase as set forth therein. Messrs. MacLeitch
and Cresswell are also eligible to receive a bonus as determined by AMV’s board
of directors based upon several factors including performance, the profitability
of AMV and the achievement of the goals set by AMV’s board of directors during
each fiscal year. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the employment agreements for Messrs. MacLeitch and Cresswell,
which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, and
are incorporated by reference herein.
Securities
Purchase Agreement
On
October 23, 2008, Mandalay entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors identified therein
(individually, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to
which Mandalay agreed to sell to the Investors in a private offering an
aggregate of 1,685,394 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 842,697
shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”), for gross proceeds to Mandalay of
$4,500,000 (the “Offering”). The Warrants have a five year term and an exercise
price of $2.67 per share. The funds are currently held in escrow pursuant to
an
Escrow Agreement, dated October 23, 2008, and will be released to Mandalay
upon
the earliest of (i) the escrow agent receiving distribution notification from
any of the Investors, (ii) the escrow agent receiving distribution notification
from Mandalay upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and (iii) November
6,
2008. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the form of the Warrants and the Escrow
Agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4, Exhibit 4.4 and Exhibit
10.6, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM
2.01 COMPLETION
OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
As
disclosed in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on 8-K, which is incorporated
by
reference herein, Mandalay entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement on October
8,
2008, as subsequently amended on October 23, 2008 (the “Agreement”), with the
Founding Sellers and the Non-Founding Sellers. Pursuant to the Agreement, on
October 23, 2008, Mandalay consummated the acquisition of 100% of the issued
and
outstanding share capital of AMV (the “AMV Shares”) and 80% of the issued and
outstanding share capital of Fierce (the “Fierce Shares,” and together with the
AMV Shares, the “Shares”). The Founding Sellers and the Non-Founding Sellers,
together with the holders of options to purchase shares of capital stock of
AMV
(the “Option Holder Sellers”) who have exercised such options prior to closing
and delivered their shares of capital stock of AMV to Mandalay at closing,
as
provided in the Agreement, are referred to herein as the “Sellers.”
In
consideration for the Shares, and subject to adjustment as set forth in the
Agreement, the aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) consisted of: (a)
$5,375,000 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”); (b) 4,500,000 fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”); (c) a secured
promissory note in the aggregate original principal amount of $5,375,000 (the
“Note”); and (d) additional earn-out amounts, if any, if the Acquired Companies
achieve certain targeted earnings for each of the periods from October 1, 2008
to March 31, 2009, April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010, and April 1, 2010 to
September 30, 2010, as determined in accordance with the Agreement. The Purchase
Price is subject to certain adjustments based on the working capital of AMV,
to
be determined initially within 75 days of the closing, and subsequently within
60 days following June 30, 2009. Any such adjustment of the Purchase Price
will
be made first by means of an adjustment to the principal sum due under the
Note,
as set forth in the Agreement.
Prior
to
closing, each outstanding option to purchase shares of capital stock of AMV
(an
“AMV Option”) was either exercised in full or terminated. Of the Cash
Consideration payable to the Sellers, an amount equal to the exercise price
of
the AMV Options being exercised was paid to AMV for consideration of such Option
Holder Seller’s exercise of such AMV Options, and was deducted from the amount
of Cash Consideration otherwise payable to such Option Holder Seller.
Additionally, of the Cash Consideration, an amount equal to the maximum taxation
liability that would be incurred with respect to the payment of the Purchase
Price to any Option Holder Sellers under applicable tax laws (the “Tax
Withholding”), was delivered to AMV to be held in a separate account. The amount
of the Tax Withholding was deducted from the amount of the Cash Consideration
otherwise payable to the applicable Option Holder Seller.
The
Note
matures on January 30, 2010, and bears interest at an initial rate of 5% per
annum, subject to adjustment as provided therein. In the event Mandalay
completes an equity financing that results in gross proceeds of over $6,000,000,
Mandalay will prepay a portion of the Note in an amount equal to one-third
of
the excess of the gross proceeds of such financing over $6,000,000. In addition,
if within nine months of the issuance date of the Note, Mandalay completes
a
financing that results in gross proceeds of over $15,000,000, then Mandalay
shall prepay the entire principal amount then outstanding under the Note, plus
accrued interest. If within nine months of the issuance date of the Note, the
aggregate principal sum then outstanding under the Note plus accrued interest
thereon has not been prepaid, then on and after such date, interest shall accrue
on the unpaid principal balance of the Note at a rate of 7% per annum.
Additionally, in connection with the Note, AMV granted to the Sellers a security
interest in its assets. Such security interest is subordinate to the security
interest granted to ValueAct as set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report
on
Form 8-K. AMV also agreed to guarantee Mandalay’s repayment of the Note to the
Sellers. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference
to
the Note, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5 and is incorporated by
reference herein.
At
closing, each of the Sellers agreed to not dispose of or transfer any of the
shares of the Stock Consideration they own for a period of one year following
the closing.

Investors. The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on
