ITEM 1.01.  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On December 9, 2010, MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (the “Company,” “MGT” or the “Registrant”) entered into an amended and restated securities purchase agreement (the “Amended Purchase Agreement”) with Laddcap Value Partners, LP (“Purchaser”).  The Amended Purchase Agreement amends and restates in its entirety a securities purchase agreement dated November 16, 2010 between the Company and Laddcap Value Partners III, LLC, an affiliate of the Purchaser (the “Original Purchase Agreement”). The Original Purchase Agreement was subject to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 22, 2010 with the Commission. Pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement, Purchaser has agreed to purchase from the Company and the Company has agreed to sell to Purchaser 6,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of approximately, $0.15.3 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.  The Common Stock to be purchased by Purchaser , upon issuance, constitutes approximately 16.7% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to such issuance). The Amended Purchase Agreement also provided that Tim Paterson-Brown would resign as a director of the Company; Robert Ladd would be appointed to the board to fill the seat created by Mr. Paterson-Brown’s resignation; and Peter Venton, currently a director, would be appointed Chairman of the Board. The closing of the Amended Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Common Stock were subject to regulatory approval from NYSE AMEX, which was obtained on December 10, 2010. The closing took place on December 13, 2010 (the “Closing Date”).

Pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) with Purchaser on the Closing Date.  The terms of the Rights Agreement provide that on or after the earlier of: (i) the later of (A) the date on which the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to its 2010 fiscal year, (B) the date on which the Company’s planned registration statement for the Medicsight Plc shares of ordinary stock owned by the Company is declared effective by the SEC, and (C) the date on which all of the assets of MGT (UK) have been disposed of, and (ii) June 30, 2011, Purchaser can request that the Company file a registration statement with the SEC (the “Registration Statement”) to register the shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”).  All fees and expenses of the Registration Statement shall be borne by the Company.

Prior to the entry into of the Amended Purchase Agreement, there was no material relationship between the Company and Purchaser and its affiliates, other than the entry into the Original Purchase Agreement described herein and the Current Report filed in connection with the Original Purchase Agreement.

ITEM 3.02. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

As described in Item 1.01, which description is incorporated herein, the Company entered into and closed under an Amended Purchase Agreement with Purchaser for the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 6,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of approximately $0.15.3 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.

The Common Stock will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, based on the fact that there will be only one purchaser and that such purchaser has sophistication in financial matters and access to information concerning the Company.

The foregoing summaries of the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement and the Form of Registration Rights Agreement, and of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the definitive transaction documents, copies of which are attached as exhibits to the Current Report on Form 8-K.  A copy of the Press Release announcing the Private Placement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
