Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Rovion Transaction
On April 4, 2011, Local.com Corporation (the “Registrant”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with DigitalPost Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (“DGLP”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rovion, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Rovion”), pursuant to which the Registrant seeks to acquire substantially all of the assets of Rovion. The description of the Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. The assets to be acquired include:
    A rich media advertising platform, which allows for the sale, creation, delivery and tracking of animated and video-based ads for both national and local advertisers, including “In-Person” the online video spokesperson, as well as virtually all other forms of rich media advertisements;
 
    A rich media advertising toolset, known as the Rovion Ad Management Platform (“RAMP”), targeted to local media publishers and medium to small ad agencies, which allows for self-service rich media ad creation by professional media developers and novices alike, and subsequently enables the delivery, tracking and reporting of all ad activity through the RAMP control panel;
 
    A workflow/tracking toolset that facilitates the schedules and tracking of In-Person ad requests, scheduling of actors and studios and the approval of scripts; and
 
    Two professional quality green-screen studios and the maintenance of a network of relationships for access to additional professional quality green-screen studios throughout the United States.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the transaction contemplated under the Agreement will be completed upon the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the approval of the bankruptcy court currently hearing the bankruptcy proceedings of Rovion. Assuming all closing conditions are met, at the closing of the transaction DGLP shall receive $2,296,000 in cash of which $375,000 will be used to repay certain promissory notes made by DGLP and held by the Registrant. The transaction will be funded from Local.com’s cash on hand. Allocation of the purchase price will be determined based on a fair market valuation of the assets acquired. Except for liabilities arising from certain contracts to be assumed by the Registrant from and after the closing of the transaction and approximately $227,000 of accounts payable related to Rovion, no other liabilities will be assumed by the Registrant in connection with the transaction.
The Agreement contains representations and warranties of the parties that are customary for a transaction of this type, which generally survive after the closing date. The representations and warranties of DGLP and Rovion are qualified by information contained in confidential disclosure schedules that DGLP and Rovion provided to the Registrant in connection with the execution of the Agreement. Although certain of the information contained in the disclosure schedules may be non-public, the Registrant does not believe that this information is required to be publicly disclosed under the Federal securities laws. Moreover, certain of these representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of a specific date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from the standard generally applied under the Federal securities laws or were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the Registrant and DGLP and Rovion, rather than establishing matters as facts. Finally, information concerning the subject matter of these representations and warranties may change by the closing date. Accordingly, you should not rely on these representations and warranties as statements of fact.
The Agreement also contains certain other covenants and agreements. For example, DGLP and Rovion will provide certain non-competition, non-disclosure, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement covenants from and after the closing of the contemplated transactions with respect to the Business in favor of the Registrant.
DGLP and Rovion agreed to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Registrant and its employees, directors, representatives, subsidiaries and shareholders (the “Registrant Indemnitees”), and any third party claiming by or through any of the Registrant Indemnitees, from and against any and all losses arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by DGLP or Rovion in the Agreement, the disclosure letter, or certain of the closing documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of DGLP or Rovion in the Agreement or certain of the closing documents, (iii) any litigation pending against DGLP or Rovion as of the closing date of the transaction, and (iv) any retained liabilities, as such term is defined in the Agreement. Due to the fact that Rovion

 


 

and DGLP are presently in bankruptcy, the Registrant does not believe that the indemnification provisions will provide any protections to the Registrant if a claim arises which would be subject to indemnification by DGLP and Rovion.
The transaction was accomplished through arms-length negotiations between the Registrant’s management and the management of DGLP and Rovion. The Registrant had previously entered into an asset purchase agreement with DGLP and Rovion for the assets, but that agreement was terminated after DGLP and Rovion informed the Registrant that it intended to file for bankruptcy. The Registrant has also previously had contractual relationships with DGLP and Rovion for the provision of certain development services. Additionally, the Registrant loaned DGLP $375,000, which amounts will be repaid by DGLP, per the Agreement, from the purchase price. Our chairman and chief executive officer, Heath Clarke, has served on the Advisory Board of DGLP since August 2006. Norman K. Farra, Jr., a member of our Board of Directors, served on the Advisory Board of DGLP from September 2007 to February 2010 and has previously provided financial advisory services to DGLP, as recently as February 2010. Mr. Clarke owns 175,395 shares of common stock of DGLP, has options to purchase 169,194 shares of DGLP common stock at an exercise price of $0.133 per share and 225,592 shares of DGLP common stock at an exercise price of $0.089 per share. Mr. Farra owns 181,000 shares of common stock of DGLP, has warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock of DGLP at a strike price of $0.05 per share and warrants to purchase 181,000 shares of common stock of DGLP at a strike price of $0.055 per share. Mr. Sawtell previously served as the president and chief operations officer of the Registrant from March 2000 to March 2005.
