Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

  

On May 7, 2020, LiveXLive Media, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a binding Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Courtside Group, Inc. (d/b/a PodcastOne), a Delaware corporation (“PodcastOne”), LiveXLive PodcastOne, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Buyer”), certain persons who constitute controlling stockholders of PodcastOne (the “Controlling Stockholders”), and Norman Pattiz, as the representative of the persons identified as “Sellers” on the signature pages to the Agreement. At the closing of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement (the “Closing”), the Buyer will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of PodcastOne (the “Acquisition”), and following the Acquisition, PodcastOne will continue as a standalone wholly owned subsidiary of the Buyer and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Acquisition is expected to close by June 2020.

 

PodcastOne is a leading subscription and advertiser-supported podcast network home to popular and star-studded podcasts across top genres including sports, comedy, celebrity culture and entertainment. PodcastOne generates over 2.1 billion downloads annually and produces over 350 episodes per week. PodcastOne’s library of over 300 podcasts includes shows from Adam Carolla, A&E’s Cold Case Files, Steve Austin, Shaquille O’Neal, Tip “T.I.” Harris, Dr. Drew, Heather and Terry Dubrow, Chael Sonnen, Kaitlyn Bristowe, LadyGang, Mike Tyson, Rich Eisen, Spencer and Heidi Pratt, Autumn Calabrese, Demi Burnett, Gals on the Go, and many more. PodcastOne is headquartered in Beverly Hills, California.

 

The Closing is subject to various customary closing conditions and other conditions, including, among others, delivery by the Controlling Stockholders of the Sellers’ remaining signed signature pages and execution of a new employment agreement between PodcastOne and Mr. Pattiz.

 

At Closing, upon satisfaction of each of the closing conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Sellers 5,454,545 shares (the “Initial Shares”) of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), plus such additional number of shares of Common Stock as would equal to sum of (i) the Estimated Closing Cash, minus (ii) the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, minus (iii) the Estimated Transaction Expenses, plus or minus (iv) the Working Capital Excess or the Working Capital Shortfall, as applicable (each capitalized term as defined in the Agreement), divided by $2.20 (collectively with the Initial Shares, the “Shares”). In addition, if, during the period commencing after May 7, 2020 and ending on the second anniversary of the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”), for five consecutive trading days the closing market price of Common Stock exceeds $5.00 per share, an additional aggregate payment of $3,000,000 in cash shall be paid to the Sellers in accordance with their respective pro rata percentage, within five business days of the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

Each Seller receiving the Shares will be required to execute a lock-up agreement with the Company (x) prohibiting the transfer or disposition of the Shares for a period of 12 months from the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”), subject to certain customary exceptions, and (y) agreeing to the following trading restrictions. After the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, each Seller shall be permitted to sell such Seller’s Shares subject to a volume sales limitation on each trading day equal to the product of (the “Trading Amount”) (i) the total number of Shares due to such Seller under the Agreement divided by the total number of Shares (the “Ratio”), and (ii) 5% of the average daily trading volume for Common Stock for the preceding 20 consecutive trading days; provided, that in any event, the Trading Amount per trading day shall not be less than the product of (x) 15,000 shares of Common Stock and (y) the Ratio. The Lock-Up Period shall terminate upon the occurrence of either of the following: (i) if Robert S. Ellin, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is no longer serving as either the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; or (ii) in the event that Mr. Ellin no longer beneficially owns 15% or more of Common Stock. The Sellers shall also receive certain piggyback registration rights to be finalized by the parties before Closing.

 

The parties to the Agreement made certain representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for transactions of this nature (including exclusivity), agreed to certain indemnification terms as set forth in the Agreement, and agreed to enter into certain agreements in connection with the Acquisition. Effective as of the Closing, (a) the directors of PodcastOne and each subsidiary of PodcastOne will resign immediately prior to the Closing and Buyer shall appoint its own directors, and (b) the officers of PodcastOne and each of its subsidiaries will continue to be the officers of PodcastOne and such subsidiaries, unless otherwise removed at the direction of the Buyer. The Company and PodcastOne have certain customary termination rights as set forth in the Agreement, and either the Company or PodcastOne may terminate the Agreement if the Closing has not occurred on or before July 15, 2020, or such other date as may have been agreed upon in writing by the Company and PodcastOne.

 

There can be no assurance that the Acquisition will be consummated or as to the date by which the Acquisition may be consummated, if at all.

 

The foregoing description is a summary only, does not purport to set forth the complete terms of the Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and hereby incorporated by reference.

 

The shares of common stock to be issued by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement will be issued in a private placement that will rely upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
