Item 1.01Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 13, 2018, Propel Media, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Sixth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Unit Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated as of October 10, 2014, as amended, by and among the Company, Kitara Media Corp. (“Kitara”), Propel Media LLC (formerly known as Future Ads LLC) (“Propel”), and the former members of Propel (the “Transferors”).

 

The Exchange Agreement provided that, on or prior to June 30, 2023, $10,000,000 of additional consideration (the “Additional Consideration”) is payable by the Company to the Transferors in cash and/or shares of the Company’s common stock (of which $5,000,000 was paid in June 2018). The Amendment modifies the payment terms of the remaining $5,000,000 of the Additional Consideration as follows:

 

The Exchange Agreement provides that, if the Additional Consideration has not been paid as of any December 31st prior to June 30, 2023, Jared Pobre has the right during the 10 business day period following such date to elect, on behalf of the Transferors, to receive the Additional Consideration in shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the Amendment, if the Company’s common stock is no longer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as December 31, 2018, or the Company is not required to file periodic reports as December 31, 2018, Jared Pobre waives the right to make this election during the ten business day period after such date.

 

Prior to the Amendment, the Exchange Agreement provided that, in the event the Transferors received the Additional Consideration in shares of the Company’s common stock, the shares would be valued at the closing market price on any exchange on which the shares are then listed (or the closing bid price on the over-the-counter bulletin board if the shares are not so listed). Under the Amendment, if the Company’s common stock is no longer registered under the Exchange Act or the Company is not required to file periodic reports, the Company’s common stock instead will be valued by a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or valuation firm selected by the Company with the consent of Jared Pobre (which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01Other Events.

 

On August 13, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing its intention to deregister its common and suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
