Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 30, 2017, EVINE Live Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Repurchase Letter Agreement”) between the Company and NBCUniversal Media, LLC (“NBCU”). Pursuant to the Repurchase Letter Agreement, on January 31, 2017, the Company will purchase from NBCU 4,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), representing approximately 6.9% of shares outstanding, for approximately $4.9 million or $1.12 per share. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Repurchase Letter Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 1.02.Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Repurchase Letter Agreement, upon the consummation of the settlement of the repurchase of the Shares, the Company and NBCU agreed to terminate that certain Shareholder Agreement between the parties dated April 29, 2016 (the “Shareholder Agreement”).

 

The Shareholder Agreement provided that for so long as NBCU or its affiliates beneficially owned at least 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, NBCU would be entitled to designate one individual to be nominated to the Company’s board of directors, and entitled to designate such individual to be an observer of the audit, human resources and compensation, and corporate governance and nominating committees of the Company’s board of directors. Among other things, the Shareholder Agreement also required the Company to obtain the consent of NBCU prior to (a) adopting or amending any shareholder’s rights plan or taking certain other actions that would impede or restrict the ability of NBCU to acquire the Company’s voting stock, or (b) the Company’s taking any action that would result in NBCU being deemed to be in violation of the Federal Communications Commission multiple ownership regulations.

 

The Shareholder Agreement also provided that unless NBCU beneficially owned less than 5% or more than 90% of the adjusted outstanding shares of common stock, NBCU may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company subject to limited exceptions for (i) transfers to affiliates, (ii) third party tender offers, (iii) mergers, consolidations and reorganizations and (iv) transfers pursuant to underwritten public offerings or transfers exempt from registration under the Securities Act (provided, in the case of (iv), such transfers do not result in the transferee acquiring beneficial ownership in excess of 20%).

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Shareholder Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on May 2, 2016.

 

Item 7.01.Regulation FD.

 

On January 31, 2017, the Company issued a press release regarding the repurchase of the Shares. The press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

 

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in that filing.
