RMG NETWORKS HOLDING CORPORATION (NASDAQ:RMGN) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive AgreementItem 1.01Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 2, 2018, RMG Networks Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SCG Digital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), SCG Digital Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) and SCG Digital Financing, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Parent, solely for the purposes of Sections 6.19, 8.03 and 8.04 of the Merger Agreement. Under the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Shareholders of the Company’s common stock (other than Parent and its affiliates and rollover shareholders that enter into agreements with Parent to contribute shares of Company common stock to an affiliate of Parent prior to the closing of the Merger) will receive $1.27 in cash per share in the Merger. Parent is owned by SCG Digital Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an affiliate of Gregory H. Sachs, the Company’s Executive Chairman (collectively, the “Sponsor”).
Mr. Sachs and certain of his affiliates have entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with the Company and agreed, among other things, to vote his shares of the Company’s common stock in favor of adoption and approval of this Agreement and to take certain other actions in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.All members of the Board of Directors of the Company in attendance at the meeting approved the Merger Agreement on the unanimous recommendation (with Mr. Sachs recusing himself and one member unable to attend the final meeting due to a personal matter) of a Special Committee comprised entirely of independent directors of the Company (the “Special Committee”).
The Merger Agreement contains a “go shop” provision to which the Company has the right to solicit and engage in discussions and negotiations with respect to competing proposals through May 17, 2018 (the “Initial Go Shop End Date”); provided that such end date may be extended at the election of the Company (upon written notice to Parent) at any time prior to the Initial Go Shop End Date until June 1, 2018 (such period commencing with the Execution Date, as may be extended, the “Go-Shop Period”). After the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period, the Company may continue discussions with any “Excluded Person”, defined as a party that submits (and has not withdrawn) a written proposal during the Go-Shop Period that the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a “Superior Proposal,” as defined in the Merger Agreement and with whom the Company remains in continuous active discussions.
Except with respect to Excluded Persons, after the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period, the Company will be subject to a “no-shop” restriction on its ability to solicit third-party proposals, provide information and engage in discussions with third parties. The no-shop provision is subject to a “fiduciary-out” provision that allows the Company to provide information and participate in discussions with respect to third party proposals submitted after the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period and with respect to which the Special Committee has made the determinations previously described.
The Company may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including if its Board of Directors determines in good faith that it has received a Superior Proposal, and otherwise complies with certain terms of the Merger Agreement. In connection with such termination, a termination fee, as well as reimbursement for certain fees and expenses up to an “Expense Make Whole Threshold” may be payable by the Company to Parent in the following circumstances: (i) if such termination occurs before the Initial Go Shop End Date, the Company will not be required to pay a termination fee, (ii) if the Go Shop Period is extended and
