SUBSEQUENT EVENTS DISCLOSURE |
NASDAQ Compliance Issues
On
October 19, 2011, LiveDeal, Inc. (the “Company”)
received notice that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the
“Panel”) determined to grant the Company’s
request for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market subject
to the Company’s demonstration of compliance with the
applicable minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2.5
million by November 30, 2011.
On
December 12, 2011, the Company completed an equity financing with
five unaffiliated investors for an aggregate cash purchase price of
$2.0 million, which is described in more detail
below. The Company issued a total of 1,612,899 new
shares of its common stock in connection with the transaction at a
price of $1.24 per share, which was equal to the closing bid price
of the common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the
date of the transaction. As of December 12, 2011, the
Company had 725,479 shares of common stock outstanding, which had a
book value per share equal to approximately $1.04 based on the
Company’s unaudited stockholders’ equity as of
September 30, 2011. After giving pro forma effect to
the transaction, the Company had 2,338,378 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding on September 30, 2011, with a book value per
share equal to approximately $1.18 based on the Company’s
pro forma
unaudited stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2011
giving effect to the equity financing. As a result of
the foregoing, the Company believes that, as of September 30, 2011,
after giving pro forma effect to the equity financing, its
stockholders’ equity exceeds the NASDAQ requirement of $2.5
million for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital
Market.
On
December 21, 2011, the Company received written notification from
NASDAQ indicating that the Company’s securities will continue
to be listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market based upon the
Company’s compliance with the terms of a Panel decision,
which required the Company to evidence compliance with the
applicable minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2.5
million by December 12, 2011. Accordingly, the NASDAQ
hearing process is now closed.
On
December 28, 2011, the Company received written notification from
NASDAQ that, for the preceding 10 business days (from December 13,
2011 to December 27, 2011), the Company's market value of publicly
held shares had been $1.0 million or greater. As a
result, NASDAQ confirmed that the Company had regained compliance
with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(5). The Company was
previously notified that it had fallen out of compliance with such
rule on September 16, 2011.
Termination of Stock Purchase Agreements and Related
Transactions
As
previously disclosed, on August 29, 2011 and September 29, 2011,
respectively, the Company entered into a series of Stock Purchase
Agreements (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”) with four
investors (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the
Stock Purchase Agreements, the Investors agreed to purchase an
aggregate of 816,327 shares of Common Stock in a private placement
transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0
million. Additional information regarding the Stock
Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby was
set forth in a definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 25,
2011.
On
November 30, 2011, the Investors failed to perform their
obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreements by, among other
things, failing to pay the purchase price described
above. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated by the
Stock Purchase Agreements were never consummated, and the Company
sent the Investors a notice of termination of the Stock Purchase
Agreements on December 12, 2011. The Company did not
incur any penalties in connection with its termination of the Stock
Purchase Agreements.
Completion of $2.0 Million Investment Transaction with Isaac
Capital Group LLC and Other Investors
On
December 12, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”)
of the Company approved, and the Company entered into, a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with each
of Isaac Capital Group LLC (“ICG”), John Kocmur
(“Kocmur”), Kingston Diversified Holdings LLC
(“Kingston”), Augustus Gardini, L.P.
(“Augustus”) and Lausanne LLC (“Lausanne”
and, collectively with ICG, Kocmur, Kingston and Augustus, the
“Purchasers” and each a “Purchaser”)
providing for the Company’s issuance and sale of an aggregate
of 1,612,889 shares (the “Shares”) of the
Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(“Common Stock”), for an aggregate cash purchase price
equal to $2.0 million. Each of ICG, Kocmur and Kingston
(the “Lead Purchasers”) invested $500,000 in the
Company and were issued 403,225 shares of Common Stock, and each of
Augustus and Lausanne invested $250,000 in the Company and were
issued 201,612 shares of Common Stock. The transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement were consummated on December
12, 2011.
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, among other things:
As
previously disclosed, the Company consummated the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement to regain compliance with
the requirement that the Company have stockholders’ equity of
at least $2.5 million for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital
Market. As of the date of this filing, the Company
believes that its stockholders’ equity exceeds $2.5
million.
In
connection with their execution and delivery of the Purchase
Agreement, the parties also entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) on
December 12, 2011, pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide
the Purchasers with customary resale and piggy-back registration
rights pertaining to the Shares.
The
Company offered and sold the Shares without registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), to a limited number of accredited investors in
reliance upon the exemption provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act. The Shares may not be offered or sold in
the United States in the absence of an effective registration
statement or exemption from the registration requirements under the
Securities Act. An appropriate legend will be placed on
the Shares unless registered under the Securities Act prior to
issuance.
Appointment of Kevin A. Hall to Board of
Directors
On
December 8, 2011, the Board increased the number of authorized
directors of the Company to five directors and appointed Kevin A.
Hall, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, to
fill the vacancy created by such increase in the size of the full
Board. Mr. Hall’s appointment took effect
immediately, and he was appointed for a term lasting until the next
annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, or until his
earlier resignation or removal in accordance with the
Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Board
does not anticipate that Mr. Hall will be appointed to any standing
committees in light of his role as a member of the Company’s
executive management team.
Appointment of Jon Isaac, Tony Isaac and John Kocmur to Board of
Directors
On
December 12, 2011, the Board increased the number of authorized
directors of the Company to eight directors and appointed Jon
Isaac, Tony Isaac and John Kocmur to fill the vacancies created by
such increase in the size of the full Board. Such New
Directors were designated for appointment to the Board by the Lead
Purchasers in accordance with their rights under the Purchase
Agreement, as described above. Such appointments took
effect immediately upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and each New Director was
appointed for a term lasting until the next annual meeting of the
Company’s stockholders, or until his earlier resignation or
removal in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated
Bylaws. The Board has not yet appointed any of the New
Directors to serve on its standing committees, although it
anticipates making certain appointments in the near
future.
Formation of Restructuring Committee
In
connection with the transactions described above, the Board also
established an ad hoc special committee (the “Restructuring
Committee”) to evaluate a potential restructuring of the
Company. The Board appointed each of the New Directors,
as well as existing directors Sheryle Bolton and Thomas Clarke, to
serve on the Restructuring Committee.
