Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On February 13, 2018,
Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting
Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity Inc., on behalf of itself and as representative of the underwriters named therein (the
“Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriters in a best-efforts underwritten
public offering (the “Offering”) of up to approximately $105 million in gross proceeds of securities of the Company
including (A) 7,425,000 Series A-1 units (the “Series A-1 Units”), with each Series A-1 Unit consisting of (i) one
share (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”),
and (ii) one Series A-1 warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Series A-1 Warrants”); and for those purchasers
whose purchase of Series A-1 Units would result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially
owning more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock following the consummation of the Offering, (B) 11,675,000
Series B-1 units (the “Series B-1 Units”, and together with the “Series A-1 Units”, the “Units”),
consisting of (i) one pre-funded Series B-1 warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Series B-1 Warrants”,
and together with the Series A-1 Warrants, the “Warrants”) and (ii) one Series A-1 Warrant. The Shares, Series A-1
Warrants and Series B-1 Warrants are immediately separable. The Units were sold at a price to the public equal to $5.50 per Unit.
The Underwriters will purchase the Units from us at a price of $5.192 per unit, representing a 5.6% discount from the public
offering price.
Each Warrant will be
exercisable at any time on or after the issuance date until the five-year anniversary of the issuance date. Each Series A-1 Warrant
will be exercisable at a price of $6.50 per share of Common Stock. Each Series B-1 Warrant will have an aggregate exercise price
of $5.50 per share of Common Stock, all of which will be pre-funded except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per share of
Common Stock. The Warrants will not be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchange.
The Company
expects to issue and deliver the securities sold in the Offering to the Underwriters against payment therefore on or about
February 15, 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company expects to receive approximately
$96,817,200 in net proceeds from the sale of the Units, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions equal to
$5,882,800 and estimated offering expenses of approximately $450,000 assuming no exercise of the Warrants. In addition,
Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC acted as financial advisor in connection with the Offering and will receive a financial
advisory fee equal to $1.9 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to increase the Company’s
ownership stake in MoviePass Inc., its majority-owned subsidiary (“MoviePass”), or to support the operations of
MoviePass or MoviePass Ventures, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; to satisfy a portion or all of the amounts
payable in connection with the convertible notes issued on August 16, 2017, November 7, 2017, and January 23, 2018, to the
extent that they remain outstanding; and for general corporate purposes and transaction expenses.
The exercise price
of and number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants are subject to adjustment upon the issuance by the Company of
stock dividends, stock splits, and similar proportionately applied changes affecting the Company’s outstanding common stock.
In addition, the Series A-1 Warrants are subject to adjustment of the applicable exercise price then in effect, if, as of December 17, 2018 (the “Adjustment Date”), the quotient determined by dividing the (x) sum of the VWAP (as defined
in the Series A-1 Warrant) of the Common Stock for each trading day during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending
and including the trading day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date, divided by (y) ten (10) (all such determinations to be
appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period)
(the “Adjustment Price”), is less than the applicable exercise price. If the Adjustment Price is less than the applicable
exercise price as of the Adjustment Date, then the exercise price shall be automatically adjusted to be equal to the Adjustment
Price.
Holders of the Warrants shall be entitled to any purchase rights granted to Common Stock holders and the Company shall not
enter into any fundamental transaction unless the successor entity assumes the obligations of the Company under the Warrants.
Notwithstanding, in the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any merger with
or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification
of Common Stock, the Company or any successor entity will pay, at the holder’s option, an amount of cash equal to the value
of the Warrant as determined in accordance with the Black Scholes option pricing model and the terms of the Warrants. The terms
of the Warrants prohibit a holder from exercising its Warrants if doing so would result in such holder (together with its affiliates
and other persons acting as a group) beneficially owning more than 4.99%, or if elected by the holder, 9.99%, of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock after giving effect to such exercise.
If a registration statement
relating to the issuance of the shares underlying the Warrants is not effective or available, the Warrants may be exercised on
a cashless basis. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of
a fractional share, the Company will round up to the next whole share.
The Offering is being
made pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-222685), which was declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 9, 2018. A preliminary prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus relating to the Offering was filed with the SEC on February 12, 2018, and a final prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus relating the Offering will be filed with the SEC no later than February 14, 2018.
