Item 1.01  Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

 

 On July 9, 2013, Global Eagle Entertainment Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), which amends the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of May 8, 2013, by and among the Company, GEE Content Services Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Content Services”), GEE Newco Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Newco”), PMG California, Inc., a Canadian corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“PMG California”), DTI Software FZ-LLC, a UAE limited liability company and affiliate of the Company (“DTI Software,” and, collectively with Content Services, Newco, PMG California and the Company, the “Buyer”), Post Modern Edit, LLC, a California limited liability company dba Post Modern Group, LLC (“PMG”), on its own behalf and on behalf of each of certain affiliates of PMG (sometimes collectively with PMG, the “PMG Companies”), Richard Warren, an individual (“Warren”), and Hamid Samnani, an individual (“Samnani” and, together with Warren, each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”).

 

Parties

 

The Letter Agreement provides for an additional wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to be added to the Purchase Agreement as a “Buyer” thereunder.

 

Consideration Issued to the Sellers

 

The Letter Agreement provides that subject to the terms of an escrow agreement, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer shall pay to PMG, as consideration for the assets purchased thereunder, (i) an aggregate of (A) $10,850,000 plus (B) a portion of the PMG Companies’ outstanding debt obligations to Union Bank, National Association (“Union Bank”), determined by multiplying (x) the positive difference between (A) $3,440,000 and (B) the aggregate amount of the outstanding principal balance of the PMG Companies’ debt obligations to Union Bank plus all accrued but unpaid interest due thereon as of the closing date under the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”), by (y) 0.5 (collectively, the “Cash Consideration”), as adjusted pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) $4,187,816, payable in the form of 431,734 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, valued at $9.70 per share. As a result of the Letter Agreement, the Cash Consideration has been increased by an amount equal to approximately $350,000, the amount of shares issued under the Purchase Agreement has been decreased by an amount equal to 83,730 shares and the escrow amount has decreased from $1,550,000 to $1,470,000, all of which shall consist of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, valued at $9.70 per share.

 

The Letter Agreement also provides that in preparation of the statement of net working capital of the PMG Companies as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Statement”), Buyer will not treat the imposition of non-cash deferred revenue with respect to any of the assets purchased under the Purchase Agreement relating to Criterion Pictures U.S.A., Inc., Visual Education Centre Ltd. and their affiliates (collectively, “Criterion Pictures”) as a current liability for purposes of the calculation of net working capital, provided that (i) the addition of such deferred revenue is solely the result of the application of U.S. GAAP to the books and records of Criterion Pictures as such books and records relate to the proper accounting treatment of the so-called institutional location licenses thereof and (ii) only that portion of such non-cash deferred revenue balance that is not offset by a current asset of Criterion Pictures is excluded from the calculation of current liabilities for purposes of the Closing Date Statement and the calculation of net working capital.

 

 
 

 

Conditions to Completion of the Asset Purchase

 

The Letter Agreement removes a condition to closing that each of the Sellers and each of the PMG Companies shall have been released from all obligations of the PMG Companies to Union Bank, and replaces it with a condition to closing that each of the Sellers and the PMG Companies shall have been indemnified and held harmless from any losses arising from obligations of the PMG Companies to Union Bank.

 

Covenants

 

The Letter Agreement provides for an additional obligation of PMG to manage (subject to the exclusive direction and control of the Buyer) all bank, borrowing and related accounts included in the assets purchased under the Purchase Agreement for the benefit of the Buyer until such time as the transfer of such assets is approved by Union Bank.

 

The Letter Agreement provides for an additional obligation of the Buyer to use reasonable efforts to have the Sellers and the PMG Companies released by Union Bank by August 31, 2013 and to have all funds deposited with Union Bank or pledged by the Sellers in connection with any obligations owed to Union Bank returned or released by August 31, 2013.

 

Indemnification

 

The Letter Agreement provides for an additional indemnification obligation of the Sellers and the PMG Companies to jointly and severally indemnify, protect, defend and hold the Company, the Buyer and each of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Acquiring Parties”) harmless from and against any and all suits, orders, losses, damages, penalties, dues, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, obligations, expenses, interest and fees (including reasonable attorneys’, consultants and experts’ fees and disbursement and court costs) sustained or incurred, directly or indirectly, by any Acquiring Party, as a result of any business relationship by or among the Sellers or any PMG Company and DOT Acquisition Corp. or any of its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, affiliates and agents.

 

Copies of the Purchase Agreement and Letter Agreement are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

 

 
 

 

Lock-Up Agreements and Employment Agreements

 

 On July 9, 2013, the Company also entered into Lock-Up Agreements with certain of the PMG Companies, pursuant to which all of the shares paid by the Company for the assets purchased under the Purchase Agreement are subject to lock-up for periods ranging from thirty (30) days to twelve (12) months from the Closing Date. In that regard, (a) approximately eleven percent (11%) of such shares are held for at least thirty (30) days from the Closing Date, (b) an additional approximately ten percent (10%) of such shares are held for at least sixty (60) days from the Closing Date, (c) an additional approximately ten percent (10%) of such shares are held for at least ninety (90) days from the Closing Date, (d) an additional approximately forty-eight (48%) of such shares are held for at least nine (9) months from the Closing Date and (e) the remaining twenty-one percent (21%) of such shares are held for at least twelve (12) months from the Closing Date.

 

The Buyer also entered into Employment Agreements with each of Samnani and Warren on July 9, 2013.
