Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On June 28, 2013, SCG Financial Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) filed an amendment to its Registration Statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-188413 (the “Form S-1”). The Form S-1 includes the following financial guidance for the Company, which assumes that the offering contemplated by the Form S-1 is successfully completed and the net proceeds of the offering are used as contemplated by the Form S-1:

 

 

The Company expects its consolidated revenue to be between $76 million and $78 million and its adjusted EBITDA to be between $5 million and $6 million for the year ending December 31, 2013; and

 

 

The Company expects its consolidated revenue to be between $105 million and $110 million and its adjusted EBITDA to be between $16 million and $18 million for the year ending December 31, 2014.

 

The Company’s guidance for 2013 reflects its expectations regarding the financial performance of Symon Holdings Corporation (“Symon”) and Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (“RMG”), both of which were acquired by the Company in April 2013, on a combined pro-forma basis, as if the Company owned both companies for the full year 2013. The Company expects combined pro-forma adjusted EBITDA to be lower in fiscal year 2013 as a percentage of revenue than it will be in future years as a result of integrating the acquisitions of Symon and RMG and as a result of expenses that the Company has incurred or expects to incur during 2013 for sales and marketing initiatives that it believes will enhance its growth in fiscal year 2014 and beyond. We expect that the waiver we are seeking from our lenders in connection with our proposed use of the proceeds of the offering contemplated by the Form S-1, as discussed under "Use of Proceeds" in the Form S-1, will include, if necessary, revisions to the financial and other covenants contained in our loan documents that will allow us to undertake the growth initiatives we intend to pursue with the proceeds of that offering.

 

The Company has presented its projected adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, because many of its investors use this non-GAAP measure to monitor the Company’s performance. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for acquisition-related and integration items; asset impairment charges; purchase price accounting items recorded as part of its acquisitions; and certain other items that the Company believes do not reflect its core operating performance.

 

With respect to the Company’s expected adjusted EBITDA, reconciliations of GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA are not provided because the Company cannot provide the reconciliation without unreasonable effort. Because the Company’s fiscal year-end closeout of its financial statements for 2013 and 2014 has not yet occurred, it has not yet finalized its determination of the components of GAAP net income and the other measures used in the reconciliation.

 

The information under this Item 7.01 shall be deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

 

Additional Information: A registration statement relating to the Company’s proposed public offering has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. The securities described in that registration statement may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be a sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. No offer to buy the securities can be accepted and no part of the purchase price can be received until the registration statement has become effective, and any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time prior to notice of its acceptance given after the effective date. Copies of the prospectus relating to the offering may be obtained from the Company at 500 North Central Expressway, Suite 175, Plano, Texas 75074, or by calling (972) 543-9300.
