Item 2.01              Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On December 4, 2014, Millennial Media, Inc. (“Millennial” or the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of Nexage, Inc. (“Nexage”), a leading mobile advertising exchange and mobile supply side platform, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 23, 2014 and as amended and restated on October 31, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Nexage, Neptune Merger Sub I, Inc. (“Merger Sub I”), Neptune Merger Sub II, LLC (“Merger Sub II”), and Fortis Advisors LLC.  At the closing, Merger Sub I was merged with and into Nexage, and as part of the same transaction, Nexage was merged with and into Merger Sub II (the “Merger”).  As a result of the Merger, Merger Sub II continues as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Millennial. The name of Merger Sub II was subsequently changed to Nexage, LLC.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Millennial issued 30,733,436 shares of its common stock to the former securityholders of Nexage, and issued options to purchase an additional 7,949,236 shares of its common stock in exchange for options to purchase shares of Nexage’s common stock.  The aggregate potential equity consideration of 38,682,672 shares, including shares issuable upon the exercise of options, represents approximately 26.4% of the total number of shares of Millennial common stock following the closing of the Merger, but assuming the exercise of all new stock options issued in exchange for the prior Nexage options.  Of the total consideration, 4,876,603 of the shares of common stock of the Company issued in connection with the Merger and 1,057,973 of the options exchanged in connection with the Merger are being held in escrow as partial security for the indemnification obligations of the Nexage securityholders as set forth in the Merger Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement executed in connection with the Merger.  The Company paid approximately $8.1 million in cash consideration for shares of Nexage capital stock held by certain holders of Nexage capital stock who are “unaccredited investors,” in partial payment for shares of Nexage capital stock held by holders of Nexage capital stock who are “accredited investors,” and in partial payment for vested options to purchase common stock of Nexage. In connection with the completion of the Merger, the Company also paid Nexage’s remaining debt balance of $13.9 million and paid approximately $3.0 million of transaction-related expenses incurred by Nexage. Vested options to purchase common stock of Nexage were partially cancelled in exchange for cash and partially exchanged for vested options to purchase common stock of Millennial.  Unvested options to purchase common stock of Nexage were converted into unvested options to purchase common stock of Millennial.  All outstanding warrants exercisable for common stock of Nexage were exchanged for a portion of the 30,733,436 new Millennial shares issued.

 

Based on the issuance of an aggregate of 30,733,436 shares of Millennial’s common stock at the closing, each valued at $1.57, the closing price per share of Millennial’s common stock on December 4, 2014, and including newly issued options to purchase 7,949,236 shares, which options have a fair value of approximately $12.1 million based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model, and $8.1 million of cash consideration, the transaction is valued at approximately $68.5 million.

 

In reliance on the exemption provided under Rule 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, the independent directors of Millennial’s board of directors approved the adoption of an inducement plan covering securities intended to be granted as an inducement and reserved for persons to whom the Company may issue securities as an inducement in connection with the Merger.  In reliance on the same exemption, and subject to the approval of the compensation committee of Millennial’s board of directors, the Company expects to grant options to purchase shares of Millennial common stock to certain eligible holders of options to purchase shares of Nexage common stock in exchange for such options in connection with the Merger, as well as equity awards in the form of employment inducement grants for purposes of retention to employees of Nexage who have accepted offers of employment with Millennial.

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Millennial also agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the shares of common stock issued in the Merger and a registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the new Millennial stock options issued in exchange for the previous options to purchase Nexage common stock.

 

Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has any material relationship with any of Nexage’s securityholders other than in respect of the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.4 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 10, 2014 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

 

Item 3.02.             Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth in Item 2.01 related to the issuance of Millennial common stock is hereby incorporated by reference under this Item 3.02.  The shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement were offered and sold in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), afforded by Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The Merger was a privately negotiated transaction that did not involve general solicitation, and all of the recipients of shares of Millennial common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement are “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act.

In connection with his appointment to the board of directors, Mr. Cormier will receive compensation in accordance with the terms of the Company’s compensation policy for non-employee directors, as described in the Company’s annual proxy statement filed on April 25, 2014 and available on a website maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
