SNAP INTERACTIVE, INC. (OTCMKTS:STVID) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Entry into Merger Agreement

On September 6, 2017, Snap Interactive, Inc. (the “Company”), LiveXLive Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), LXL Video Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”), and Jason Katz, as the agent of the stockholders of the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), to which, among other things, the Company agreed to merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (the “Merger”).

to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), each outstanding share of the common stock of the Company (“Company Common Stock”), other than shares to be cancelled to the Merger Agreement and shares held by a stockholder of the Company who has demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with applicable law, shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the Common Per Share Consideration (as defined below) comprising (i) an amount in cash equal to the Common Per Share Cash Consideration (as defined below) plus (ii) a number of shares of the common stock of Buyer (“Buyer Common Stock”) equal to the Common Per Share Stock Consideration (as defined below). No fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger; rather, any such fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

For purposes of the Merger Agreement: (i) “Common Per Share Consideration” means an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $34,041,301 (subject to pre and post-closing adjustments as described in the Merger Agreement, including adjustments based on the amount of cash, net working capital and indebtedness of the Company on the closing date) by (y) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the closing of the Merger (the “Fully Diluted Share Capital”); (ii) “Common Per Share Cash Consideration” means an amount in cash equal to approximately 60% of the Common Per Share Consideration; and (iii) “Common Per Share Stock Consideration” means such number of shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) approximately 40% of the Common Per Share Consideration by (y) the public offering price per share of Buyer Common Stock to the proposed underwritten public offering by Buyer of shares of Buyer Common Stock yielding aggregate gross proceeds to Buyer of not less than $100 million (the “Buyer Public Offering”); provided, that if the closing of the Merger occurs following, and not contemporaneously with, the closing of the Buyer Public Offering, then item (y) of this clause (iii) shall be replaced by the volume weighted average price of the Buyer Common Stock on each of the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger.

In addition, if, during the ten year period following the date of the Merger Agreement, Buyer or the surviving corporation receives any monetary judgment or award in connection with that certain patent infringement claim, together with related claims, referenced as PalTalk Holdings, Inc. v. Riot Games, Inc. and Valve Corporation, 1:16-cv-01239, originally filed on December 16, 2016 by the Company’s subsidiary, Paltalk Holdings, Inc., in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, relating to U.S. Patent Nos. 5,822,523 and 6,226,686, then Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to each stockholder of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, its pro rata portion of 62.5% of such award or judgment (less costs and expenses), which amount shall be payable in cash and shares of Buyer Common Stock in the same ratio as the Common Per Share Consideration (the “Additional Consideration”); provided, that the portion of the Additional Consideration payable in Buyer Common Stock shall be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of the Buyer Common Stock on each of the ten consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such payment.

It is expected that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes, so that, in general, none of the Company, Buyer, Merger Sub or any of the stockholders of the Company will recognize any gain or loss in the transaction.

Approvals, Closing Conditions, Representations and Warranties and Covenants

The respective Boards of Directors of each of the Company, Buyer and Merger Sub have approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement. In addition, the holders of in excess of 70% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock have approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement by written consent. The completion of the Merger will not require any consent or approval from the holders of Buyer Common Stock. However, the consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among other things:

the consummation by Buyer of the Buyer Public Offering;
the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Buyer with respect to the shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued in the Merger being declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”);
the shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued in the Merger shall have been approved for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange;
the filing by the Company of a definitive Information Statement of the type contemplated by Rule 14c-2 (the “Information Statement”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with the SEC, and the mailing by the Company of the Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders as required under Regulation 14C promulgated under the Exchange Act;
Buyer’s receipt of the fairness opinion of ValueScope, Inc. from the Company solely for informational purposes with respect to the total Merger consideration;
the delivery of a lock-up agreement by those stockholders of the Company holding more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of the date of the Merger Agreement;
the holders of no more than an aggregate of 5% of the outstanding Company Common Stock exercising appraisal rights with respect to the Merger; and
the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to either Buyer or the Company.

The parties have also made customary representations and warranties and agreed to customary covenants in the Merger Agreement, including a covenant that the Company will, and will cause its subsidiaries to, during the period between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, conduct its business only in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and that the Company will not engage in certain types of transactions without the consent of Buyer during such period.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Company is subject to customary restrictions on its ability to solicit acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. However, in certain circumstances, the solicitation restrictions are subject to a customary “fiduciary out” provision that allows the Company to provide information to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, third parties with respect to an acquisition proposal if the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith that such acquisition proposal either constitutes, or is reasonably expected to result in, a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

Termination Rights and Procedures

The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights, including, among others: (i) the right of Buyer to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Company’s Board of Directors changes its recommendation that the Company’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement or fails to reaffirm its recommendation; (ii) the right of the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a Superior Proposal; (iii) the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if (x) the Buyer Public Offering shall not have priced on or before October 9, 2017 or (y) the closing of the Merger shall not have occurred by the earlier of (A) a commercially reasonable period of time following the closing of the Buyer Public Offering or (B) December 8, 2017; and (iv) the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement due to a material breach by the other party of any of its representations, warranties, agreements or covenants, subject to certain conditions and cure periods.

The Merger Agreement provides for the Company to pay Buyer a termination fee of $2,900,000 in certain circumstances, including if (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated by Buyer as a result of the Company’s Board of Directors changing its recommendation or failing to reaffirm its recommendation; (ii) the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company to accept a Superior Proposal; or (iii) the Merger Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances during the pendency of a publicly disclosed third party proposal to acquire the Company if, within six months of such termination, the Company’s Board of Directors recommends an alternative transaction or the Company enters into an agreement for or consummates an alternative transaction.

Other Matters

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference herein.

As such, the representations and warranties are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and may be limited or modified by a variety of factors, including: subsequent events, information included in public filings, disclosures made during negotiations, correspondence between the parties and disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement.

The summary of the By-Laws Amendment above is qualified in its entirety to the By-Laws Amendment filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
