Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 11, 2013, Grandparents.com, Inc. (the “Company”) and Starr Indemnity & Liability Company (“Starr”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Starr International Company, Inc., entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated January 8, 2013 by and between the Company and Starr. The Amendment provides for additional compensation payable to Starr under the Agreement in the form of a warrant (the “Warrant”) to acquire up to 25% of the outstanding equity of the Company based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of January 8, 2013. The Amendment provides that the Warrant will vest as follows: (i) one-fourth of the Warrant will vest upon issuance, and (ii) the unvested portion of the Warrant will vest in three equal annual installments commencing on March 1, 2014, provided, that the unvested portion of the Warrant will immediately cease to vest upon the termination or expiration of the Agreement, as amended. The Amendment also provides that any contemplated public disclosures to be made by the Company require five business days advance notice to Starr.

 

The Warrant is in the process of being negotiated with Starr and, accordingly, the Warrant has not been issued at this time. While the Company anticipates that the Warrant, when issued, will reflect the terms discussed above, it is possible that such terms will be modified or that additional terms will be added to the Warrant and that such modifications or additional terms may be material.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than historical information, may be considered “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, assumptions, uncertainties, and other factors. Statements made in the future tense, and statements using words such as “anticipates,” “will,” “may,” “can,” “could,” “should,” “predict,” “aim’” “potential,” “continue,” “opportunity,” “intend,” “goal,” “estimate,” “expect,” “expectations,” “project,” “projections,” “plans,” “believe,” “think,” “confident” “scheduled” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements including statements about the issuance of the Warrant. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are beyond the Company’s control, and which risks and uncertainties have been described in greater detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements, and therefore should be carefully considered. The Company cautions you not to place undo reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Report or an earlier date as may be indicated. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as expressly required by law.
