As previously announced, NTN Buzztime, Inc. (“NTN”), and eGames.com Holdings LLC (“eGames.com”) entered into an asset purchase agreement on September 18, 2020 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, NTN agreed to sell and assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the assets relating to its current business to eGames.com (the “Asset Sale”). At the closing of the Asset Sale, in addition to assuming the liabilities of NTN specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement, eGames.com will pay $2.0 million to NTN. Also as previously announced, in connection with entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, Fertilemind Management, LLC (“Fertilemind”), an affiliate of eGames.com, made a $1,000,000 loan (the “Initial Bridge Loan”) on behalf of eGames.com to NTN, which will be applied against the $2.0 million payable by eGames.com at the closing of the Asset Sale, and NTN issued an unsecured promissory note (the “First Note”) evidencing such loan to Fertilemind.

On November 19, 2020, NTN, eGames.com and Fertilemind entered into an omnibus amendment and agreement pursuant to which, among other things: (1) eGames.com agreed to loan, or cause Fertilemind to loan on behalf of eGames.com, an additional $500,000 to NTN on December, 1, 2020 (the “Second Bridge Loan”), and NTN agreed to issue an unsecured promissory note evidencing such loan (the “Second Note”); and (2) effective as of December 1, 2020, and subject to NTN receiving the Second Bridge Loan, the parties agreed to amend the Asset Purchase Agreement and the First Note to provide for the application of the Second Bridge Loan against the $2.0 million payable at the closing of the Asset Sale, to increase the interest rate on the principal amount of the Initial Bridge Loan from 8.0% to 10.0% per annum beginning on December 1, 2020, and to extend the maturity date of the First Note to March 1, 2021.

The material terms of the Second Note are substantially similar to the terms of the First Note, as amended as described above. The principal amount of the Second Bridge Loan will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum (increasing to 15% per annum upon the occurrence of an event of default), compounded annually. The principal amount of the Second Bridge Loan and accrued interest thereon is due and payable upon the earlier of (i) the termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement, (ii) the closing of a Business Combination (as defined in the Second Note), and (iii) March 1, 2021. Upon the closing of the Asset Sale, the outstanding principal amount of the Second Bridge Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be applied against the purchase price under the Asset Purchase Agreement, and the Second Note will be extinguished. NTN may use the proceeds under the Second Note for, among other things, the payment of obligations related to the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement and other general working capital purposes. All of NTN’s obligations under the Second Note will be subordinate to the indebtedness and all other obligations owed by NTN to Avidbank including under the loan and security agreement, dated as of September 28, 2018 and as amended from time to time, between NTN and Avidbank. The Second Note will include customary events of default, including if any portion of the Second Note is not paid when due; if NTN defaults in the performance of any other material term, agreement, covenant or condition of either of the Second Note, subject to a cure period; if any final judgment for the payment of money is rendered against NTN and NTN does not discharge the same or cause it to be discharged or vacated within 90 days; if NTN makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if NTN generally does not pay its debts as they become due; if a receiver, liquidator or trustee of NTN is appointed, or if NTN is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent. In the event of an event of default, the Second Note will accelerate and become immediately due and payable at the option of the holder.

The foregoing descriptions of the omnibus amendment and agreement and the Second Note do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the omnibus amendment and agreement and the Second Note, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this report and are incorporated by reference herein.
