Introduction

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement, together with the exhibits hereto (this “Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”), jointly by (i) RealD Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), (ii) Rhombus Cinema Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), (iii) RT Rhombus Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser (“RT Rhombus”), (iv) Rhombus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of RT Rhombus (“Merger Sub”), (v) Rizvi Opportunistic Equity Fund III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (vi) Rizvi Traverse GP III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (vii) Michael V. Lewis, an individual and the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company, and (viii) the MVL Trust, dated as of August 3, 2010 (each a “Filing Person” and collectively, the “Filing Persons”).

 

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 8, 2015 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Purchaser and Merger Sub.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, if the conditions to the closing of the merger are either satisfied or waived, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will continue its corporate existence under Delaware law as the surviving corporation in the merger, as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser.  Upon completion of the merger, each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), other than shares owned by the Company, Purchaser, Merger Sub, Michael V. Lewis, the MVL Trust, dated August 3, 2010, and holders who have properly demanded and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights, will be converted into the right to receive $11.00 per share in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes.  Following the completion of the merger, the Common Stock will no longer be publicly traded, and holders of the Common Stock that has been converted will cease to have any ownership interest in the Company.

 

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing with the SEC a revised preliminary proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which the Company’s board of directors is soliciting proxies from stockholders of the Company in connection with the merger.  The Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1).  A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the Proxy Statement as Annex A and is incorporated herein by reference.  As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form, and is subject to completion or amendment.

 

Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information in the Proxy Statement, including all annexes, exhibits and appendices thereto, is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, and responses to each item herein are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement.  The cross-references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3.

Project Rhombus
Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

You have advised us that RT Rhombus Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings” or “you”), intends to directly or indirectly acquire (the “Acquisition”), all of the capital stock of the entity previously identified by you to us as “Rhombus” (the “Acquired Business”) pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement (as defined in Exhibit A hereto).  You have further advised Highbridge Principal Strategies, LLC (acting through such of its affiliates, controlled affiliated or managed funds and separately managed and controlled accounts as it deems appropriate, “Highbridge”, the “Commitment Party”, “we,” or “us”) that, in connection with the foregoing, you intend to consummate the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used with the meanings assigned to them on the Exhibits attached hereto (such Exhibits, together with this letter, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”).

 

1.         Commitments

 

In connection with the Transactions, Highbridge is pleased to inform you of its commitment to provide 100% of the commitments in respect of the Term Loan Facility (the “Commitments”), upon the terms expressly set forth in this Commitment Letter (including, without limitation, each of the Exhibits attached hereto, including the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Term Sheet”), and the closing and funding of the Term Loan Facility is subject solely to the specified closing conditions set forth in Section 5 below and Exhibit C hereto.

 

2.         Titles and Roles

 

It is agreed that Highbridge will act as sole administrative agent and collateral agent for the Term Loan Facility (the “Administrative Agent”).

 



 

It is further agreed that no other agents or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Closing Payments Letter (as defined herein)) will be paid in connection with the Term Loan Facility unless you and we shall so agree.

 

If the Commitment Party seeks to assign or sell participations in a portion of its Commitments to an Eligible Commitment Party Assignee (as defined below), you agree to assist (and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Sponsor and the Company to assist) the Commitment Party in connection therewith as the Commitment Party may reasonably request.  As used herein, “Eligible Commitment Party Assignee” means any person that is a commercial bank, insurance company, investment or mutual fund or other entity that is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933) and which extends credit or buys loans in the ordinary course of business (other than any Disqualified Institution), provided that, after the giving effect to such assignment, the Commitment Party shall hold more than 50% of the Commitments.  As used herein, “Disqualified Institutions” means (a) those persons that are direct competitors of the Company and its subsidiaries, and any private equity owners of any such direct competitor, in each case to the extent identified by you or Rizvi Traverse and associated funds and affiliates (other than a portfolio company) (the “Sponsor”) to us by name in writing prior to the date hereof, which written list of Disqualified Institutions may be updated from time to time with the consent of Highbridge (such consent (x) not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (y) to be deemed given unless Highbridge shall have objected thereto within ten business days of receipt of the request to supplement such list) or (b) any of their affiliates, other than Bona Fide Debt Funds (as defined below), that are reasonably identifiable as affiliates solely on the basis of their name (provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to carry out due diligence in order to identify such affiliates) (it being understood that the Documentation (as defined in Exhibit C) shall (i) provide that assignments and participations to any Disqualified Institution and natural persons shall be restricted as set forth in Exhibit B and (ii) contain a representation by any buyer under an assignment and assumption agreement that it qualifies as an Eligible Assignee) (such persons or entities in clause (a) or (b), collectively, the “Disqualified Institutions”); provided, that the foregoing shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any parties that have previously acquired an assignment or participation interest in the Loans to the extent such party was not a Disqualified Institution at the time of the applicable assignment or participation, as the case may be.  For purposes of the foregoing, a “Bona Fide Debt Fund” means any debt fund affiliate of such entities mentioned in clauses (a) and (b) of the immediately preceding sentence that is primarily engaged in, or advises funds or other investment vehicles that are engaged in, making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, notes, bonds and similar extensions of credit or securities in the ordinary course of its business and whose managers are not involved with the investment of such competitor or affiliate.

 

3.         Closing Payments.

 

As consideration for the commitments and agreements of the Commitment Party hereunder, you agree to pay or cause to be paid on the date when due and payable the nonrefundable compensation described in the separate closing payments letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith (the “Closing Payments Letter”) by and among you and Highbridge, on the terms and subject to the conditions expressly set forth therein.

4.         Information

 

You hereby represent and warrant that, and with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, to your knowledge that, (a) all written information, other than the projection model delivered to the Commitment Party prior to the date hereof (the “Projections”), other projections, budgets, estimates, forward looking statements and information of a general economic or industry-specific nature, concerning you or the Company or your or its subsidiaries (the “Information”), that has been or will be made available to us by you or your representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein taken as a whole, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to us by or on behalf of you in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time prepared and at the time being furnished (it being recognized by the Commitment Party that (i) such Projections are not to be viewed as facts or a guarantee of performance and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies many of which are beyond your control and (ii) no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized, and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ from the projected results, and such differences may be material). You agree that if, at any time prior to the Closing Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence are incorrect, when taken as a whole, in any material respect if the Information or Projections were being furnished and such representations and warranties in the first sentence of this paragraph were being made at such time, then you will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that (with respect to Information and Projections relating to the Company or its subsidiaries, to your knowledge) such representations and warranties, as supplemented, are correct, when taken as a whole, in all material respects, under those circumstances. The accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties, whether or not supplemented, shall not be a condition to the obligations of the Commitment Party hereunder.  You shall promptly deliver to the Commitment Party all unaudited, internally prepared consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income and cash flows of the Company and “flash reports” prepared for management for each month of the Company ended after the close of its most recent fiscal quarter and at least 30 days prior to the Closing Date, to the extent received by you or the Sponsor or your respective affiliates from the Company.  In furtherance of the foregoing, you shall, and cause you affiliates to, request such financial information described in the immediately preceding sentence from the Company for each such month of the Company ended after the close of its most recent fiscal quarter.

 

5.         Conditions

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Closing Payments Letter, the Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the transactions contemplated hereby to the contrary, (a) the commitments of the Commitment Party hereunder and the Commitment Party’s agreement to perform the services described herein are subject only to the conditions expressly set forth in the Term Sheet under the heading “CERTAIN CONDITIONS – Conditions to Funding”, and in Exhibit C hereto (collectively, the

Exclusive Funding Conditions”), (b) the only conditions (express or implied) to the availability of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date are the Exclusive Funding Conditions and (c) to the extent the Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries are qualified or subject to “material adverse effect,” the definition thereof shall be “Material Adverse Effect” as defined in the Acquisition Agreement for purposes of the representation and warranties made or to be made on or as of the Closing Date.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Closing Payments Letter, the Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the transactions contemplated hereby to the contrary, (a) the only representations and warranties, the accuracy of which shall be a condition to availability of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date, shall be (i) the representations and warranties made by or with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you or your applicable affiliates have the right (determined without regard to any notice requirement) to terminate your (or their) obligations under the Acquisition Agreement or decline to consummate the Acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement (the “Specified Acquisition Agreement Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as defined below) (the representations and warranties described in clauses (i) and (ii) being the “Closing Date Representations”), and (b) the terms of the Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date if the Exclusive Funding Conditions are satisfied (or waived), it being understood that, to the extent any lien search or security interest in the Collateral cannot be provided on the Closing Date (other than (w) the execution and delivery of security agreements reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agents, (x) the pledge and perfection of Collateral with respect to which a lien may be perfected by the filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”), (y) the delivery of stock certificates and stock powers for such equity interests that are “certificated securities” (as defined in Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code) of the Company and domestic subsidiaries of the Company that are part of the Collateral and (z) the delivery of completed intellectual property security agreements for intellectual property of the Borrower and each Guarantor that is registered or for which an application has been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office (other than “intent to use” trademark applications)) after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so without undue burden or expense, then the provision and/or perfection, as applicable, of any such lien search or security interest in such Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Term Loan Facility, but shall instead be provided within forty five days (or such later time as the Administrative Agent shall approve) after the Closing Date, subject to such extensions as are reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent, pursuant to arrangements to be mutually agreed by the parties hereto acting reasonably.  “Specified Representations” means the representations in the Documentation relating to corporate or other organizational existence, organizational power and authority of the Borrower and the Guarantors (as they relate to due authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Documentation); due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability, in each case relating to the entering into and performance of such Documentation; solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions) of Holdings and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (in form and scope consistent with the Solvency Certificate attached as Annex I to Exhibit C hereto); no conflicts of the Documentation with charter documents of the Borrower or any Guarantor; Federal Reserve margin regulations;

You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding (or expenses related thereto) effected without your consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with your written consent, or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff against an indemnified person in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified person to the extent and in the manner set forth above.  You shall not, without the prior written consent of an indemnified person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against an indemnified person in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person unless (a) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (b) such settlement does not include any statement as to any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified person.
