Material Changes
The primary material change is the entry into two Securities Purchase Agreements resulting in the issuance of preferred stock and warrants. The purchasers are affiliates or entities that will utilize the Company's content distribution services for digital motion pictures they produce or finance.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The transaction is structured to align investors with the company's distribution services. Dividends are payable in arrears, with the first payment due on the earlier of September 30, 2010, or the end of the quarter when contractual prohibitions on payment cease. Dividends may be paid in cash or, at the Company's option, in shares of Common Stock if certain conditions are met.
Risks and Contingencies: The securities were issued unregistered under Section 4(2) and Regulation D exemptions. The Preferred Stock is non-voting and not convertible or redeemable by the Purchaser. Warrants are exercisable one month after issuance and expire five years after issuance.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific conditions under which dividends and redemption may be paid in Common Stock rather than cash.
- Confirm the contractual prohibitions on dividend payments mentioned in the filing.
- Review the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreements (Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2) for additional covenants.
- Assess the dilution impact of the 1,400,000 warrant shares and potential dividend conversions.
