Investment Transaction
On July 5, 2013, YOU On Demand Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Series D Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with C Media Limited (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the Investor 2,285,714 shares of Series D 4% Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) for $1.75 per share, or a total purchase price of $4,000,000.
In connection with the sale of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company and the Investor agreed to act in good faith and with fair dealing to finalize an agreement, on or before October 31, 2013, for an additional investment of between $12 million and $21 million of a new class of preferred stock of the Company. The subsequent investment, which would be designated as Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), would be contingent upon the Investor obtaining the required funds for the investment and the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in a Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Series E Purchase Agreement”), which is attached as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement (the “Series E Financing”). The Company and the Investor further agreed that the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock would be substantially as set forth in the form of Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Certificate of Designation”) attached as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement, and that, if necessary, the Company would agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain shareholder approval for the Series E Financing. The forms of the Series E Purchase Agreement and Series E Certificate of Designations agreed to by the Company and the Investor simultaneously with consummation of the transactions are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, respectively. While the Series E Purchase Agreement has not been executed by the parties and no party currently has any rights or obligations pursuant thereto, the Series E Certificate of Designations has not been filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada and no shares of Series E Preferred Stock are issued or outstanding, the Company and the Investor have agreed that the material terms set forth in the Series E Purchase Agreement and Series E Certificate of Designation are not subject to change, including, without limitation, that the price per share of the Series E Preferred Stock would be $1.75 and that the promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000, dated May 10, 2012 (as thereafter amended), issued by the Company to Shane McMahon would be, at Mr. McMahon’s option, convertible into shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $1.75 per share or repayable at any time upon demand by Mr. McMahon. In addition, Mr. McMahon and the Investor entered into an agreement whereby Mr. McMahon agreed that upon the consummation of the Series E Financing he will exchange all shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock owned by him for 933,333 shares of the Investor’s Series E Preferred Stock received in the Series E Financing, and then to immediately convert all such shares of Series E Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock.
Series D Preferred Stock
In connection with the closing of the sale of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series D 4% Convertible Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Certificate of Designation”). 2,500,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been authorized for issuance in accordance with the Certificate of Designation. The holder of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends of 4% per annum, payable at the Company’s option in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders and is entitled to the number of votes equal to the lesser of (i) the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series D Preferred Stock are then convertible, and (ii) the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable if the conversion price of the Series D Preferred Stock is $1.73. In addition, the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to elect one director to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), provided that at such time as the holder(s) of shares of Series D Preferred Stock hold less than 5% of the total voting securities of the Company, the right to appoint a director shall no longer be effective.
The Certificate of Designation provides that, so long as at least 25% of the Series D Preferred Stock remains outstanding, the Company will not, without the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock, and except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation, (i) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Company, or effect any material merger, acquisition or consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) except as provided in the Purchase Agreement, amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company in a manner adverse to the rights of the Series D Preferred Stock, (iii) alter or change the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series D Preferred Stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designation, (iv) directly and/or indirectly, designate, issue, authorize, create or otherwise permit to exist, any additional shares of senior or parity securities, (v) directly and/or indirectly increase the number of authorized shares of Series D Preferred Stock, (vi) purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) any junior, senior or parity securities, (vii) directly and/or indirectly create, incur or assume any liability or indebtedness for borrowed money that is secured other than equipment leases and other permitted indebtedness, (viii) directly and/or indirectly create, incur or assume any liability or indebtedness for borrowed money that is unsecured, (ix) sell, lease, license, surrender, relinquish, encumber, pledge, transfer, amend, convey or otherwise dispose of substantially all of the business, property or assets (whether tangible or intangible) of the Company, (x) enter into any transaction with any affiliate of the Company which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, unless such transaction is expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, (xi) except with respect to Jinan Guangdian Jia He Broadband Co., Ltd., Beijing China Broadband Network Technology Co., Ltd., and Shandong Lushi Media Co., Ltd. and their respective direct or indirect subsidiaries, create or hold capital stock in any subsidiary that is not wholly owned (either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) by the Company, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any capital stock of any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company or permit any direct or indirect subsidiary to sell, lease, transfer, exclusively license or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of such subsidiary, (xii) increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Board, (xiii) effect any material change to the Company’s business of media content distribution, (xiv) increase the number of shares of common stock authorized under the Company’s stock option plan, or (xv) alter or change the powers, preferences or rights or increase the number of outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock in a manner adverse to the rights of the Series D Preferred Stock or in a manner that makes any designated series of any preferred stock into parity or senior securities.
Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is initially convertible into one share of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided for in the Certificate of Designation. In addition, in the event that the Series E Financing is not consummated on or prior to October 31, 2013, the Series D Preferred Stock will become immediately redeemable in whole or in part at the holder’s option for a price per share equal to the per share stated value set forth in the Certificate of Designation plus all unpaid and accrued dividends (whether or not declared), and such redemption payment is payable upon written demand on any date that is 18 months or later after the initial issuance date of the Series D Preferred Stock.
Until such time as the Company obtains the approval of shareholders, then Company may not issue, upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, a number of shares of the Company’s common stock which would exceed 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of immediately prior to the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Certificate of Designation or a complete explanation of the material terms thereof. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on or before November 1, 2013, to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series D Preferred Stock; similar registration obligations will apply to the shares of common stock underlying the Series E Preferred Stock, if the Series E Financing is consummated. In addition, the Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 120 days of the filing.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement or a complete explanation of the material terms thereof. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Other Transaction Documents
In connection with the sale of the Series D Preferred Stock and to induce the Investor to consummate the Series E Financing, each of Messrs. Shane McMahon and Weicheng Liu entered into separate voting agreements with the Investor pursuant to which, among other things, Messrs. McMahon and Liu agreed, during the terms of their respective voting agreements, to vote all voting securities of the Company held by them (i) in favor of the issuance and sale of the Series D Preferred Stock, and (ii) in favor of the issuance and sale of the Series E Preferred Stock as contemplated in the Series E Purchase Agreement, including in each case any votes required under NASDAQ rules, Nevada Revised Statutes, or the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended. In addition, Messrs. McMahon and Liu agreed, during the term of their respective voting agreements, to vote all voting securities of the Company held by them (y) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under either the Purchase Agreement or the Series E Purchase Agreement, or of Mr. McMahon or Mr. Liu under their respective voting agreements, and (z) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could, in any material respect, reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the issuance and sale of the Series D Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock or the fulfillment of the Investors or the Company’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement or Series E Purchase Agreement, or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of the Company.
The term of the voting agreements survive until such time as the Company obtains shareholder approval for the issuance and sale of the Series E Preferred Stock and the NASDAQ rules regarding such approval have been satisfied; provided that if the Series E Purchase Agreement is not executed on or before October 31, 2013, the voting agreements shall terminate upon the Company obtaining shareholder approval for the issuance and sale of the Series D Preferred Stock required under NASDAQ rules such that the Series D Preferred stock will not be subject to a cap on conversion limitations. In addition, Mr. McMahon has agreed to vote 2,285,714 of the shares of Company common stock owned by Mr. McMahon as directed by the Investor until the earlier of October 31, 2013 and closing of the Series E Financing. Mr. McMahon has also agreed to reimburse the Company for certain contingent liabilities in the event realized and has entered into an Escrow Agreement with Citibank and the Company established in connection with the closing of the sale of the Series D Preferred Stock in connection therewith.
The Investor and Messrs. Shane McMahon and Weicheng Liu entered into a Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). Under the Investor Rights Agreement, if any of Mr. McMahon, Mr. Liu or the Investor proposes to sell or otherwise transfer any equity securities of the Company to a third party, such transferring party must give the other parties to the Investor Rights Agreement prior notice of such proposed sale or transfer. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company has ten days in which to purchase all of the securities to be sold or transferred at the same price and on the same material terms and conditions as the proposed transaction. If the Company declines to purchase such securities, the other parties to the Investor Rights Agreement have twenty days in which to purchase all of the securities to be sold or transferred at the same price and on the same material terms and conditions as the proposed transaction. To the extent that the Investor, Mr. McMahon or Mr. Liu, as the case may be, does not exercise their right to purchase the securities offered by the transferring party, they shall have the right to participate in such sale of the securities on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transaction, and may sell up to such number of equity securities of the Company equal to their respective percentage ownership of all of the number of shares of Company common stock constituting or underlying all of the Company’s equity securities.
Each of the Investor, Mr. McMahon and Mr. Liu may sell up to the greater or (i) 2% of the Company’s outstanding equity securities and (ii) 20% of the equity securities held by them as of the date of the agreement, respectively, without triggering the rights of first refusal and co-sale discussed above.
The Investor Rights Agreement terminates immediately upon (i) the consummation of an underwritten public offering in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $20,000,000, (ii) the redemption of the Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Designation, (iii) such time as the Investor owns less than 25% of the total outstanding equity securities of the Company that the Investor held as of the date of consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the date of consummation of the Series E Financing, if such financing occurs, and (iv) a change of control or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
