Item 1.01   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K of I-AM Capital Acquisition Company (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 9, 2018, on May 3, 2018, the Company entered into a share subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), with Smaaash Entertainment Private Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of India (“Smaaash”), Shripal Morakhia (“Morakhia”), and AHA Holdings Private Limited (“AHA Holdings”, and together with Morakhia, the “Smaaash Founders”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to contribute a cash amount of up to $49 million (the “Investment Amount”) to Smaaash in exchange for (i) up to 76,641,157 newly issued equity shares of Smaaash (“Subscription Shares”), (ii) the right to act as the sole distributor of Smaaash’s active entertainment games in North and South America and (iii) the right to act as the master franchisee for Smaaash’s active entertainment centers in North and South America (the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, collectively, the “Transaction”). Assuming a cash contribution amount of $49 million, the Subscription Agreement provided that the equity shares received by the Company would represent approximately 24.53% of the equity capital of Smaaash; provided that such percentage shall be decreased proportionately depending on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that the public holders of the Company’s common stock elect to redeem in connection with the vote on the Transaction and the resulting reduction in funds available for contribution to Smaaash.

 

On June 22, 2018, the Company, Smaaash and the Smaaash Founders entered into that certain Amendment Cum Addendum to the Share Subscription Agreement Dated May 03, 2018 (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which the Subscription Agreement was amended to, among other things, increase the number of Subscription Shares that the Company would receive for the full Investment Amount from 76,641,157 shares to 89,583,215 shares, which shares would represent approximately 27.53% of the equity capital of Smaaash.

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Smaaash Founders agreed that if Smaaash does not meet its projected EBITDA (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) target of $45 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, they would, at the sole discretion of the Company, either (i) transfer such number of equity shares of Smaaash constituting 5% of the share capital of Smaaash, as of June 22, 2018, as held by the Smaaash Founders in Smaaash, to the Company, or (ii) dilute their shareholding in the Company (if any, as on that date) by 5% or more (as may be agreed between the Smaaash Founders and the Company) at no cost or the lowest permissible price under applicable laws.

 

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Smaaash Founders further agreed that within six (6) months following the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”), they shall transfer all of their ownership interest in Smaaash (representing 33.6% of the share capital of Smaaash on a fully diluted basis as of June 22, 2018) to the Company in exchange for newly issued shares of common stock of the Company in an amount which would enable the Smaaash Founders to retain their 33.6% ownership interest in Smaaash indirectly through their interest in the Company.

 

Smaaash further agreed that on the Closing Date it shall make a lump sum payment of $250,000 to the Company to be used as working capital and to set up the entertainment centers in North America. Smaaash further agreed that it shall arrange for a line of credit for the Company under applicable Indian law in an amount of up to $2,000,000, which amount is subject to review from time to time by the board of directors of both Smaaash and the Company, until such time as the revenue that the Company generates is sufficient to meet its ongoing expenses.
