On October 22, 2012, MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a subscription agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 (the “Agreement”) with the investors signatory thereto (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Investors agreed to purchase 1,380,362 units, at $3.26 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of 6% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock having such terms and conditions as set forth in the Certificate of Designations attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 (the “Preferred Shares”) convertible into one share of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and a five-year warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be equal to 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock the Preferred Shares are convertible into that such Investor purchased in the offering at a per share exercise price of $3.85. The Company has agreed to register all shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares and the Warrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to the registration right agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). On October 26, 2012, the transaction was approval by the NYSE MKT.

Each Preferred Share is convertible at the option of the holder into one share of Common Stock, subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership ceiling for each Investor’s ownership of Common Stock at any one time. The conversion rate of the Preferred Shares is subject to adjustment in the case of combination or subdivision of stock or in the event of the granting of any stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features. The Preferred Shares have such other preferences, rights and limitations as are set forth in the Certificate of Designations appended hereto. The Certificate of Designation for the Preferred Shares was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 26, 2012.

The shares of Preferred Stock and the Warrants described in this Item 1.01 and Item 3.02 were all offered and sold to “accredited investors”, as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws.

The description of the Agreement, the Preferred Shares, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement contained in this Item 1.01 and Item 3.02 is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copies that are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, which are each incorporated herein by reference.

On October 22, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing the entry into the Agreements described above, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information contained in this Current Report shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
