Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The disclosure in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K
(the Current Report) is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.01Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of
Assets
Completion of Merger with XpresSpa Holdings,
LLC
On December 23, 2016 (the Closing Date), FHXMS, LLC
(Merger Sub), a Delaware limited liability company and
wholly-owned subsidiary of FORM Holdings Corp., a Delaware
corporation (FORM), merged with and into XpresSpa Holdings
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (XpresSpa), with
XpresSpa being the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of FORM, to the terms and conditions of the previously announced
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 8, 2016, as
subsequently amended on September 8, 2016 and October 25, 2016
(collectively, the Merger Agreement), by and among FORM,
Merger Sub, XpresSpa, the unitholders of XpresSpa who are parties
thereto or who become parties thereto (the Unitholders)
and Mistral XH Representative, LLC, as representative of the
Unitholders (the Representative) (the Merger).
On the Closing Date, (i) the then-outstanding common units of
XpresSpa (other than those held by FORM and its subsidiaries,
which were cancelled without any consideration) and (ii) the
then-outstanding preferred units of XpresSpa (other than those
held by FORM and its subsidiaries, which were cancelled without
any consideration) were cancelled and automatically converted
into the right to receive an aggregate of:
(a)
2,500,000 shares of FORM common stock, par value $0.01 per
share (FORM Common Stock),
(b)
494,792 shares of newly designated Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of FORM (the
FORM Preferred Stock) with an aggregate initial
liquidation preference of $23,750,000, accruing dividends at
9% per annum and which are initially convertible into
3,958,336 shares of FORM Common Stock, and
(c)
five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,500,000
shares of FORM Common Stock, at an exercise price of $3.00
per share, in each case, subject to adjustment in the event
of a stock split, dividend or similar events.
As a result of the consummation of the Merger, as of the Closing
Date, the former stockholders of XpresSpa own approximately 18%
of the outstanding shares of FORM Common Stock (or 33% of the
outstanding shares of FORM Common Stock calculated on a fully
diluted basis) and the stockholders of FORM prior to the Merger
own approximately 82% of the outstanding shares of FORM Common
Stock (or 67% of the outstanding shares of FORM Common Stock
calculated on a fully diluted basis).
The FORM Common Stock and FORM Preferred Stock issued in
connection with the Merger were registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), to a
registration statement on Form S-4 (File No.333-213566),
originally filed with the SEC on September 9, 2016, as amended,
and declared effective on October 27, 2016 (the Form S-4).
The prospectus included in the Form S-4 contains additional
information about the Merger and the related transactions. The
Form S-4 also included the proxy statement (the Proxy
Statement) for FORMs 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders,
held on November 28, 2016 (the Annual Meeting).
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete
and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full
text of the Merger Agreement, which was attached as Annex A to
the Proxy Statement, the terms of which are incorporated herein
by reference.
Rockmore Senior Secured Note
XpresSpa is obligated under a senior secured note payable to
Rockmore Investment Master Fund Ltd. (Rockmore), a
significant equity holder of XpresSpa, with an outstanding
balance of approximately $6,500,000 (the Senior Secured
Note). The Senior Secured Note accrues interest of 9.24% per
annum, payable monthly, plus an additional 2.0% per annum, and
matures on May 1, 2018, with an additional one-year extension if
both FORM and Rockmore consent to such extension. Upon completion
of the Merger, the Senior Secured Note remained outstanding as an
obligation of XpresSpa, but became guaranteed by FORM. Rockmore
is an investment entity controlled by FORMs board member, Bruce
T. Bernstein. Rockmore owned equity securities of XpresSpa that
received approximately 9.5% of the merger consideration and,
following completion of the Merger, Rockmore remained the holder
of the Senior Secured Note, and holds approximately 4.7% of the
outstanding common stock of FORM on a fully diluted basis.
Rockmore provided its consent to the Merger.
Item 2.03Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an
Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a
Registrant
The disclosure in Item 2.01 of this Current Report is
incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03Material Modification to Rights of Security
Holders
On December 23, 2016, FORM filed with the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation of
Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series D Convertible
Preferred Stock (the Certificate of Designations). to the
Certificate of Designations, the holders of FORM Preferred Stock
are entitled, among other things, to an aggregate initial
liquidation preference of $23,750,000 and the right to
participate in any dividends and distributions paid to common
stockholders on an as-converted basis. The FORM Preferred Stock
will vote on an as-converted basis. The FORM Preferred Stock
shall be initially convertible into an aggregate of 3,958,336
shares of FORM Common Stock, which equals a $6.00 per share
conversion price, and each holder of FORM Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of
whole shares of FORM Common Stock into which such shares of FORM
Preferred Stock are convertible. Upon the occurrence of certain
fundamental events, the holders of the FORM Preferred Stock will
be able to require FORM to redeem the shares of FORM Preferred
Stock at the greater of the liquidation preference and the amount
per share as would have been payable had the shares of FORM
Preferred Stock been converted into FORM Common Stock. The
holders of record of FORM Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
elect one director of FORM, voting exclusively as a separate
class, so long as the holders of FORM Preferred Stock represent
beneficial ownership in the aggregate of equal to or more than 5%
of FORMs issued and outstanding Common Stock on an as-converted
basis.
to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, on the seven
year anniversary of the initial issuance date of the shares of
FORM Preferred Stock, FORM may repay each share of FORM Preferred
Stock, at its option, in cash, by delivery of FORM Common Stock
or through any combination thereof. If FORM elects to make a
payment, or any portion thereof, in shares of FORM Common Stock,
the number of shares deliverable (the Base Shares) will be
based on the volume weighted average price per share of FORM
Common Stock for the thirty trading days prior to the date of
calculation (the Base Price) plus an additional number of
shares of FORM Common Stock (the Premium Shares),
calculated as follows: (i) if the Base Price is greater than
$9.00, no Premium Shares shall be issued, (ii) if the Base Price
is greater than $7.00 and equal to or less than $9.00, an
additional number of shares equal to 5% of the Base Shares shall
be issued, (iii) if the Base Price is greater than $6.00 and
equal to or less than $7.00, an additional number of shares equal
to 10% of the Base Shares shall be issued, (iv) if the Base Price
is greater than $5.00 and equal to or less than $6.00, an
additional number of shares equal to 20% of the Base Shares shall
be issued and (v) if the Base Price is less than or equal to
$5.00, an additional number of shares equal to 25% of the Base
Shares shall be issued. Accordingly, if the volume weighted
average price per share of FORM Common Stock is below $9.00 per
share at the time of repayment and FORM exercises the option to
make such repayment in shares of FORM Common Stock, a large
number of shares of FORM Common Stock may be issued to the
holders of FORM Preferred Stock upon maturity, which may have a
negative effect on the trading price FORM Common Stock. At the
seven year maturity date of FORM Preferred Stock (which is the
date that is seven years from the closing date of the Merger),
FORM, at its election, may decide to issue shares of FORM Common
Stock based on the formula set forth above or to re-pay in cash
all or any portion of the FORM Preferred Stock.
In 2023, upon the maturity date of the FORM Preferred Stock, when
determining whether to repay the FORM Preferred Stock in cash or
shares of FORM Common Stock, FORM expects to consider a number of
factors, including its cash position, the price of FORM Common
Stock and FORMs capital structure at such time. Because FORM does
not have to make a determination as to which option to elect
until 2023, it is impossible to predict whether it is more or
less likely to repay in cash, stock or a portion of each. For
example, assuming the entire amount of FORM Preferred Stock was
outstanding at the seven year maturity date, and FORM opted to
repay such FORM Preferred Stock entirely in shares of FORM Common
Stock, the number of shares of FORM Common Stock to be issued at
such repayment if the Base Price was $9.00 per share, $6.50 per
share and $2.50 (above the closing price on December 22, 2016)
would be approximately 2,770,833 shares, 4,019,231 shares and
11,875,000, respectively.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Designations is
not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by,
the full text of the Certificate of Designations, which is
attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 3.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
