Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On September 12, 2014, Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”) completed an exchange offer (the “Offer”) pursuant to which the Company offered to all holders of the Company’s outstanding warrants exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), that were originally issued in the Company’s initial public offering and in a private placement to the Company’s founders in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and which have an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Warrants”), to receive 0.3333 Shares in exchange for every Warrant tendered by the holders thereof (approximately one Share for every three Warrants tendered), up to a maximum of 15,000,000 Warrants, as described in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by the Company on August 13, 2014, as amended.
Pursuant to the Offer, 12,682,755 Warrants were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. The Company accepted for exchange all Warrants tendered and issued 4,227,187 Shares in exchange for such Warrants. The exchange of the Warrants for Shares pursuant to the Offer was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereunder based on the fact that the exchange was effected with the Company’s existing security holders exclusively and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.
