Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Effective as of November 21, 2012, BOLDFACE Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“BGI”), and BGI’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BOLDFACE Licensing + Branding, a Nevada corporation (“BLB” and together with BGI, the “Company”), each entered into a (i) Factoring Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2012 (the “Factoring Agreements”), with Star Funding, Inc. (“Star Funding”), pursuant to which Star Funding will provide financing, on a discretionary basis, against the Company’s purchase orders, accounts, contract rights and other obligations for payment of money, and (ii) Supply Agreement, dated as of October 17, 2012 (the “Supply Agreements” and collectively with the Factoring Agreements, the “Agreements”), with Star Funding, pursuant to which Star Funding will provide to the Company, on a discretionary basis, factoring and financial accommodations to enable the Company to purchase cosmetics and related products (collectively, the “Goods”). The Supply Agreements will enhance the Company’s ability to manufacture and sell the Goods. The Factoring Agreements will enhance working capital by supplying liquidity so the Company can meet its obligations in a timely fashion. Each of the Agreements is for an initial term of one year, subject to automatic one-year renewals or early termination as provided therein.

 

The financing under the Supply Agreement may be made via direct payment to the Company’s suppliers, issuance of letters of credit and/or advances to the Company. The Company will be required to pay Star Funding an amount equal up to 5.0% per month of all Expenses (as defined in the Supply Agreement) associated with the purchase of any Client-Assembled Goods (as defined in the Supply Agreement) under the Supply Agreement, and (b) 2.0% for the initial 30-day period of all Expenses associated with the purchase of any Pre-Assembled Goods (as defined in the Supply Agreement) under the Supply Agreement, provided that such fee shall be reduced to 1.00% for each subsequent 15-day period until the date on which all of the Expenses have been paid in full in cash under this Agreement. In the event Star Funding obtains a letter of credit on behalf of the Company, the Company will pay a fee to Star Funding equal to (i) 0.25% of the face amount of any letter of credit for each 60-day period (or portion thereof) such letter of credit remains outstanding, (ii) 0.25% of the face amount of such letter of credit in the event of renewal, extension or cancellation of the letter of credit, and (iii) 0.25% of the face amount of each draft presented under the letter of credit.

 

Under the Factoring Agreements, Star Funding has agreed to purchase certain accounts receivable of the Company. The Company agreed to pay Star Funding a factoring commission of between 1.0% and 1.5% of the gross amount of each receivable under the Factoring Agreement, depending on the total gross amounts of account receivables purchased and the actual duration of the selling terms. The Company also agreed that Star Funding will receive a minimum of $31,250 in commissions under the Factoring Agreement during each 12-month period. If a shortfall in commissions should occur during the Contract Year (as defined in the Supply Agreements), the Company has agreed to pay Star Funding the shortfall by which commissions are less than $31,250.

 

As collateral security for all of the Company’s obligations under the Agreements, BGI and BLB granted Star Funding a security interest in all of their assets. To further secure the Company's obligations under the Agreements, BGI and BLB executed a Guarantee, dated as of October 17, 2012 (the “Guarantees”), pursuant to which each of them agreed to guaranty the other’s obligations owed by such entity to Star Funding under the Agreements.

 

Nicole Ostoya, the Chief Executive Officer, President and a director of BGI, Ashumi Kothary, the Chief Financial Officer of BGI, and Robin Coe-Hutshing, a major shareholder of BGI, executed a Validity Guaranty, dated as of October 17, 2012 (a “Validity Guarantee”), pursuant to which each of these persons has guaranteed the obligations of the Company solely in the event (i) any representations or warranties of the Company regarding the their accounts receivable or inventory, or any information provided by the Company from time to time with respect to its inventory, Customers (as defined in the Agreements), purchase orders or accounts receivable, shall prove to be false, inaccurate or incomplete, (ii) of a breach of any covenant or obligation the Company have under the Agreements with respect to the management or collection of any of their accounts receivable, (iii) of fraud or misrepresentation by the Company with respect to the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Validity Guarantee) or the transactions contemplated thereby, (iv) the removal or disposal of any portion of the collateral other than in the ordinary course of business and in a manner consistent with the Transaction Documents, (v) any interference by the Company or such guarantors with Star Funding’s efforts to collect the accounts receivable, or (vi) any misappropriation of proceeds of collateral by the Company or such guarantors, or any other intentional misconduct by the Company or such guarantors that impairs the collateral or the ability of the Company to perform its obligations to Star Funding.

 

In connection with the execution of the Agreements, BGI, Star Funding and the holders (the “Noteholders”) of BGI’s 10% Senior Secured Promissory Notes, dated as of September 9, 2012 and September 24, 2012 (collectively, the “Notes”), also entered into Subordination Agreements, dated as of October 17, 2012, whereby the Noteholders agreed to subordinate to Star Funding their first priority security interest in all of the assets of the Company.

 

As contemplated by the parties, in connection with the execution of the Agreements, on November 21, 2012, Star Funding factored certain of BGI’s purchase orders and the Company used substantially all of the proceeds to pay-off Solops LLC the amount of $1,065,000 required under the Purchase Order Sale Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2012 (the “PO Agreement”), entered into by and between Solops and BGI. As a result, the PO Agreement terminated, Solops released all security interest and liens which the Company granted to it under the PO Agreement and all of Solops’ security interests under the PO Agreement immediately terminated.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Rensing and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Rensing was elected as a director of BGI.

In consideration for his services as a director, BGI granted Mr. Rensing 500,000 stock options under its 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which have a ten-year term and are exercisable for the purchase of one share of BGI’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.24 per share. Such options, which will vest annually at a rate of 33% beginning on the first anniversary date of the date of Mr. Rensing’s appointment, if Mr. Rensing remains a director of BGI or any of its subsidiaries on each annual vesting date. Any vested options will be exercisable at any time while Mr. Rensing is serving as a director of BGI and will expire 90 days after the termination of Mr. Rensing service. In addition, Mr. Rensing will be paid $500 for attendance at each Board meeting and will be reimbursed for all reasonable and bona fide out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director of BGI.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On November 19, 2012, an action entitled Chroma Makeup Studio, LLC. vs. BOLDFACE Group, Inc. and BOLDFACE Licensing + Branding was filed in the United States District Court Central District of California, Western Division (the “Court”).  Chroma Makeup Studio, LLC. (“Chroma”) asserts that (a) BGI’s and BLB’s “Khroma Beauty by Kourtney, Kim and Khloé” mark and related commercial conduct infringes Chroma’s trademark rights under the Latham Act and as a result Chroma has suffered damages and (b) BGI’s and BLB’s commercial conduct with respect to its “Khroma Beauty by Kourtney, Kim and Khloé” mark constitutes unfair business practice and constitutes unfair competition under applicable California law due to Chroma’s alleged ownership of the Chroma and Chroma Makeup Studio trademarks. Accordingly, among other things, Chroma has requested for the Court to (a) enter judgment in favor of Chroma in an amount to be proven at trial, (ii) enjoin BGI and BLB and their officers, agents, directors, employees and affiliates from using the “Khroma Beauty by Kourtney, Kim and Khloé” mark and/or any other brand, symbol, trademark, product design or packaging which is confusingly similar to Chroma’s Chroma marks, and (iii) award Chroma its costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in this action. BGI intends to defend itself against all of the allegations in the complaint.
