Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Amendment to Merger Agreement

 

As previously disclosed, on November 8, 2018, FC Global Realty Incorporated (“FC Global”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with FC Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of FC Global (“FC Merger Sub”), Gadsden Growth Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Gadsden”) and Gadsden Growth Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, FC Merger Sub will merge with and into Gadsden, with Gadsden surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FC Global (the “Merger”).

 

On December 27, 2018, FC Global, FC Merger Sub, Gadsden and the Operating Partnership entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amendment”) to amend certain provisions of the Merger Agreement described below.

 

The parties agreed that notwithstanding disclosure in the respective disclosure letters of each party, the liabilities of Gadsden, on the one hand, and FC Global on the other, for the litigation and tax matters described in their respective disclosure letters would each be capped at $1 million and that there would be an adjustment to the merger consideration following the procedures described in Article VIII of the Merger Agreement if the liabilities of Gadsden or FC Global, as applicable, exceed the $1 million threshold. Any claim for an adjustment to the merger consideration as a result of the specified tax or litigation liabilities must be made on or before March 31, 2020 otherwise such claim will expire.

 

In addition, the Amendment extends the closing date of the Merger in Section 1.2 of the Merger Agreement to February 28, 2019 and amends Section 7.1(c) of the Merger Agreement to extend the effectiveness deadline for the joint proxy statement/prospectus to February 28, 2019.

 

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

OFI Investments

 

As previously disclosed, on September 24, 2018, FC Global entered into a remediation agreement with Opportunity Fund I-SS LLC (“OFI”) and certain other parties signatory thereto (the “Remediation Agreement”), pursuant to which OFI agreed, among other things, to purchase $100,000 of shares of FC Global’s Series D Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $0.65 per share on the last day of each month, commencing on September 30, 2018, until it has purchased an aggregate of $500,000 of shares of Series D Preferred Stock; provided that, upon closing of any material business combination involving FC Global that is approved by OFI, OFI agreed to purchase an additional $1,500,000 of shares of Series D Preferred Stock at a price of $0.65 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date that stockholder approval of the Remediation Agreement has been obtained, instead of purchasing shares of Series D Preferred Stock, OFI agreed to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.65 per share.

 

As previously disclosed, on September 28, 2018, the parties completed the first closing under the Remediation Agreement, pursuant to which OFI provided $100,000 to FC Global in exchange for 155,846 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, and on October 31, 2018, the parties completed the second closing under the Remediation Agreement, pursuant to which OFI provided $100,000 to FC Global in exchange for 155,846 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

 

As previously disclosed, on November 29, 2018, FC Global’s stockholders approved the Remediation Agreement and all shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued to OFI were converted into shares of Common Stock. On the same date, the parties completed the third closing under the Remediation Agreement, pursuant to which OFI provided $100,000 to FC Global in exchange for 155,846 shares of Common Stock.

 

On December 31, 2018, OFI agreed, notwithstanding the investment schedule set forth in the Remediation Agreement, to provide the remaining funds to FC Global, and the parties completed a final closing under the Remediation Agreement, pursuant to which OFI provided $1.6 million to FC Global in exchange for 2,461,538 shares of Common Stock.

 

On December 31, 2018, OFI also provided an additional $200,000 to FC Global in exchange for 1,333,333 shares of Common Stock, or a purchase price of $0.15 per share, pursuant to a letter agreement, dated December 29, 2018, between FC Global and OFI (the “Letter Agreement).

 

 

 

 

The foregoing description of the Remediation Agreement and the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of those documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth under Item 1.01 regarding the issuance of shares to OFI under the Remediation Agreement and the Letter Agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
