INTRODUCTORY NOTE

 

On October 14, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), CuriosityStream Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly named Software Acquisition Group Inc.) (the “Company”), consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated August 10, 2020, by and among the Company, CS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), CuriosityStream Operating Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly named CuriosityStream Inc.) (“Legacy CuriosityStream”) and Hendricks Factual Media LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“HFM”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Legacy CuriosityStream was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy CuriosityStream, with Legacy CuriosityStream surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger” and, the completion of the Merger, the “Closing”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Legacy CuriosityStream were converted into an aggregate of 31,556,837 shares (the “Merger Shares”) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, 1,501,758 Merger Shares issued by the Company at closing will be held in escrow for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing to satisfy indemnification obligations and an additional 19,924 Merger Shares will be held in escrow pending final working capital calculations (collectively, the “Escrow Shares”).

 

In connection with the Closing, and pursuant to the terms of a PIPE Subscription Agreement entered into by the Company with certain third-party investors (the “PIPE Investors”) in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company completed the issuance of an aggregate of 2,500,000 newly-issued shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000,000 (the “PIPE”). The shares of Common Stock issued by the Company pursuant to the PIPE were issued concurrently with the Closing of the Merger on the Closing Date.

 

Also in connection with the Closing, the registrant changed its name from “Software Acquisition Group Inc.” to “CuriosityStream Inc.”

 

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 11, 2020, and is incorporated herein by reference. A more detailed description of the Merger can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A prepared in connection with the solicitation of the proxies from the Company’s stockholders to approve the Merger filed with the SEC on September 22, 2020 (as amended to date, the “Proxy Statement”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to nominate two (2) individuals designated by the Sponsor (each a “Sponsor Director”) for election as members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) for so long as the Sponsor and its affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsor Entities”) together continue to beneficially own at least fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s Common Stock beneficially owned by the Sponsor Entities as of the Effective Time of the Merger.

 

In addition, the Company agreed to provide Legacy CuriosityStream stockholders, officers and directors with certain customary “mandatory,” “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights, and Legacy CuriosityStream’s directors and officers agreed to be subject to certain transfer restrictions for a period of 180 days following the date of the Investor Rights Agreement.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares for at least six months but who are affiliates of the Company at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, are subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

 

1.0% of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, which is now 3,795,233 shares; and

 

if the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average weekly trading volume of the shares of Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

 

Sales by affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the Company.

 

Under Rule 144, a person who is not deemed to have been one of the Company’s affiliates at the time of or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the restricted shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell their shares without complying with the manner of sale and volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. The Company must be current in its public reporting if the non-affiliate is seeking to sell under Rule 144 after holding his or her shares of Common Stock between six months and one year. After one year, non-affiliates do not have to comply with any other Rule 144 requirements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, blank check companies like the Company, to their promoters or affiliates despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. Rule 144 also is not for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company. The SEC has provided an exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:

 

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

 

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

 

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

 

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

 

As a result, none of our shareholders will be able to sell any shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 until October 14, 2021.

 

Undertaking to File Registration Statements

 

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to register with the SEC the resale of (i) shares of Common Stock, warrants and shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants issued in connection with the Closing of the Merger and the PIPE and (ii) the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants issued by the Company pursuant to that certain Warrant Agreement, dated November 19, 2019, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

 

In connection with Legacy CuriosityStream’s Series A Private Placement (as defined below), Legacy CuriosityStream entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Legacy CuriosityStream RRA”). Pursuant to the terms of the Legacy CuriosityStream RRA, Legacy CuriosityStream agreed to file with the SEC a resale shelf registration statement registering for resale the shares of Legacy CuriosityStream common stock underlying the shares of Legacy CuriosityStream’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Legacy CuriosityStream Preferred Stock”), sold in the Series A Private Placement on or before the first anniversary of the closing of the Series A Preferred Offering.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

 

Change of the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On October 14, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2020. EY served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Legacy CuriosityStream prior to the Merger. Accordingly, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Merger, was informed that it would be replaced by EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm following completion of its review of the Company’s financial statements for the third quarter of 2020, which consist only of the accounts of the pre-Merger special purpose acquisition company.

 

Marcum’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from May 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the period from May 9, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 and the subsequent period through October 14, 2020, there were no: (i) disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or audited scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to Marcum’s satisfaction would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report or (ii) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

During the year period from May 9, 2019 (inception) to December 31, 2019 and the interim period through October 14, 2020, the Company did not consult EY with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by EY that EY concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

 

The Company has provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosures made by the Company in response to this Item 4.01 and has requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the registrant in response to this Item 304(a) and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A letter from Marcum is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
