This Form 8-K was filed by Access Integrated Technologies, Inc. (not Cineverse Corp.) on August 31, 2005, reporting events occurring on August 29, 2005. The filing details a material definitive agreement with accredited investors regarding the conversion of outstanding debt and the exercise of warrants.
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
- Debt Conversion: Approximately $7.6 million in aggregate principal of 7% Convertible Debentures due 2009 will be converted into 1,867,322 shares of Class A Common Stock.
- Warrant Exercise: Investors will exercise "Old Warrants" for 560,196 shares of Common Stock.
- Cash Proceeds: The Company expects to realize net proceeds of approximately $2.48 million from the exercise of the Old Warrants.

- Warrant Terms: New Warrants have an initial exercise price of $11.39 per share and are exercisable immediately.
Material Changes and Conditions
The transaction is contingent upon the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-127673), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 31, 2005. Investors agreed to convert debentures and exercise warrants within three business days of this effectiveness. Additionally, the issuance of 14,008 additional shares required for full conversion, as well as the new shares and warrants, is subject to shareholder approval and American Stock Exchange (AMEX) listing authorization. The Company expects to seek shareholder approval at its annual meeting on September 15, 2005, or via written consent.
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
Management intends to use the net proceeds from the warrant exercise for working capital and general corporate purposes. The new securities are being sold in reliance on exemptions under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506. A registration rights agreement will be entered into to cover future resales by investors. The filing notes that certain share issuances cannot occur until shareholder approval is obtained and AMEX listing is authorized.
