Item 1.01.Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 10, 2017, Naked Brand Group Inc. (the “Company”) and Bendon Limited (“Bendon”) entered into Amendment No. 3 (the “Amendment”) to the Letter of Intent, dated December 19, 2016, as amended February 10, 2017 and March 9, 2017 (the “LOI”), previously executed by the Company and Bendon in connection with a proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”).

 

The Amendment, among other things, (i) extends the date by which the parties shall have entered into a definitive agreement regarding the Business Combination before certain penalties may be incurred from April 10, 2017 to May 26, 2017; (ii) revises the the Net Assets (as defined in the Amendment) level to $5.8 million, which amount will be adjusted as a result of any subsequent capital transactions agreed to by the Company and Bendon; and (iii) amends certain other terms and conditions of the LOI. Except as amended by the Amendment, the material terms of the LOI remain in full force and effect.

 

Completion of the Business Combination remains subject to the negotiation of a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), satisfaction of the conditions negotiated therein and approval of the Business Combination by the Company’s stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a Merger Agreement will be entered into or that the proposed Business Combination will be consummated. Those portions of the LOI, as amended, that describe the proposed Business Combination, including the consideration to be issued therein, are non-binding.

 

The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report.

On April 11, 2017, the Company issued a press release relating to the Amendment and the completion of the Company’s $5.5 million at the market offering. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements either contained in or incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections and statements relating to the Company’s or Bendon’s business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in or incorporated by reference into this Current Report regarding strategy, future operations, future transactions, future financial position, future revenue, projected expenses, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. Examples of such statements include, but are not limited to, statements; the structure, timing and completion of the proposed Business Combination; , the transactions contemplated thereby or any other actions to be taken in connection therewith; the Company’s continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market until closing of the proposed Business Combination; the Company’s continued compliance with the minimum shareholders’ equity requirements at the time of the Company’s next periodic report; NewCo’s anticipated listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market in connection with the closing of the proposed Business Combination; expectations regarding the capitalization, resources and ownership structure of the combined company; the adequacy of the combined company’s capital to support its future operations; the Company’s and Bendon’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions; the nature, strategy and focus of the combined company; the executive and board structure of the combined company; and expectations regarding voting by the Company’s stockholders. The Company and/or Bendon may not actually achieve the plans, carry out the intentions or meet the expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and performance could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with stockholder approval of and the ability to consummate the proposed Business Combination through the process being conducted by the Company, NewCo and Bendon, the ability of the Company, NewCo and Bendon to enter into a definitive agreement and consummate such transaction, the risk that one or more of the conditions to closing of the Business Combination may not be satisfied, including, without limitation, the effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed with the SEC or the listing of NewCo’s ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market, the lack of a public market for ordinary shares of NewCo and the possibility that a market for such shares may not develop, the ability to project future cash utilization and reserves needed for contingent future liabilities and business operations, the availability of sufficient resources of the combined company to meet its business objectives and operational requirements, the ability to realize the expected synergies or savings from the proposed Business Combination in the amounts or in the timeframe anticipated, the risk that competing offers or acquisition proposals will be made, the ability to integrate Naked’s and Bendon’s businesses in a timely and cost-efficient manner, the inherent uncertainty associated with financial projections, and the potential impact of the announcement or closing of the proposed Business Combination on customer, supplier, employee and other relationships.
