Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

  

On July 1, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), LiveXLive Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), 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”), stockholders of PodcastOne (the “Sellers”), and Norman Pattiz, as the representative of the Sellers (the “Sellers’ Representative”), completed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of PodcastOne (the “Acquisition”), with PodcastOne becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Buyer and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Acquisition was effected pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 7, 2020, by and among the Company, PodcastOne, Buyer, the Sellers, and the Sellers’ Representative (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”).

  

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of PodcastOne and issued to the Sellers 5,363,636 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). In addition, if, during the period commencing after May 7, 2020 and ending on July 1, 2022, 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. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company did not assume any outstanding options to acquire any shares of capital stock of PodcastOne and such options were terminated and cancelled in connection with the Acquisition.

 

Each Seller executed 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; and provided, further, that the Sellers in the aggregate shall be permitted to sell on any trading day at least the Trading Amount. 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 also received certain piggyback registration rights.

 

In connection with the Acquisition, Mr. Pattiz, PodcastOne’s Executive Chairman entered into a new 2-year Employment Agreement with PodcastOne, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Employment Agreement”), at an annual salary of $400,000. Mr. Pattiz is also eligible to earn an annual fiscal year performance bonus, payable in cash and/or equity, for each whole or partial fiscal year of his employment period with PodcastOne in accordance with the annual bonus plan applicable to PodcastOne’s and/or the Company’s senior executives (other than CEO). Mr. Pattiz was also granted 300,000 restricted stock units of the Company(the “RSUs”). The RSUs were granted pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2016 Plan”). 50% of the RSUs shall vest on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, and the remaining 50% of the RSUs shall vest on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to Mr. Pattiz’s continued employment with the Company through each applicable vesting date. Each vested RSU shall be settled by delivery to Mr. Pattiz of one share of Common Stock within ten business days after the applicable vesting date. In the event of a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) any unvested portion of the RSUs shall vest immediately prior to such event. If Mr. Pattiz’s employment is terminated by PodcastOne “Without Cause” or by Mr. Pattiz for “Good Reason” (each as defined in the Employment Agreement, subject to PodcastOne’s right to cure), he will be entitled to certain termination benefits.

 

The foregoing description is a summary only, does not purport to set forth the complete terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 8, 2020, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
