Explanatory
Note
On
September 25, 2009, The Amacore Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Funding Form 8-K”) with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to report that the Company and
Vicis Capital Master Fund (“Vicis”), the Company’s majority stockholder, entered
into an oral agreement on September 21, 2009 with respect to the sale to Vicis
of 600 shares of convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase an
aggregate of 67,500,000 shares of the Compay’s Class A Common Stock (the
“Investment”). The Company disclosed that it anticipated that it
would subsequently enter into a preferred stock purchase agreement and other
related transaction documents (the “Transaction Documents”) with Vicis in
connection with the Investment. On November 13, 2009, the Company and
Vicis entered into such Transaction Documents. The Company is filing
this Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to set forth the terms of the
Transaction Documents and to report other matters that have occurred in
connection with the Investment.
Forward-Looking
Statements
Information
contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company other than
historical information, may be considered “forward-looking statements” that are
subject to risks and uncertainties. In some cases, you may identify
forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “should,” “plan,” “intend,”
“potential,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “predict,” “anticipate” and
“estimate,” the negative of these words or other comparable
words. These statements are only predictions. One should
not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements are qualified by their terms and/or important
factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control, involve a number of
risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and
events to differ materially from the statements made. The
forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s beliefs, assumptions and
expectations, taking into account information currently available to the
Company. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a
result of many possible events or factors, including those events and factors
described in “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2009, not
all of which are known to the Company. If a change occurs, the
Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may
vary materially from those expressed in the aforementioned forward-looking
statements. The Company will update this forward-looking information
only to the extent required under applicable securities laws. Neither
the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness of these forward-looking statements.
Item
1.01
Entry into a Material
Definitive Agreement.
On
November 13, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”) with Vicis, pursuant to which it sold to Vicis 600 shares
(the “Shares”) of its Series L Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per
share (the “Series L Preferred Stock”) and a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase
67,500,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share
(the “Common Stock”) for an aggregate cash purchase price of $6.0
million. As described in the Funding Form 8-K, the Company received
the $6.0 million purchase price on September 21, 2009. The Shares and
Warrant were issued upon execution of the Purchase Agreement. The
Purchase Agreement includes representations and warranties and other provisions
customary for a transaction of this nature. The shares of Series L
Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Common Stock and have rights and
preferences senior to certain other classes and series of the Company’s capital
stock.
The
Warrant first becomes exercisable on December 31, 2009 and expires on
December 31, 2014. The exercise price is $0.375 per share of Common
Stock. The Warrant also contains a cashless exercise feature and
certain participation rights if the Company grants, issues or sells any options,
convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or
other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of common
stock. The exercise price is subject to adjustment upon certain
events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions,
reclassifications, merger or other corporate change and dilutive
issuances.
In
connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Vicis also entered into
a Registration Rights Agreement, which grants to Vicis certain “piggyback”
registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Shares and upon exercise of the Warrant, and also covers
certain other shares of the Company’s Common Stock that may be issued to Vicis
in connection with a reclassification, recapitalization, merger, consolidation
or other reorganization of the Company. In addition, the Company agreed that:
(i) if a registration statement has not been filed with and declared effective
by the SEC at least 90 days prior to July 15, 2011; or (ii) if after the
registration statement has been declared effective, it ceases to remain
effective at any time prior to the 9 month anniversary of the effectiveness
date, the Company will pay to Vicis an amount equal to 2.0% of the aggregate
stated value of the Shares then held by Vicis for each calendar month or portion
thereof thereafter until the applicable event has been cured.
In
connection with the Investment, Vicis agreed to waive any anti-dilution rights
it held as a result of its ownership of nine warrants to purchase shares of
Common Stock and shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, Series H
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series I Convertible Preferred Stock and Series L
Convertible Preferred Stock it holds.
As a
result of these transactions, Vicis now owns
891,306,950
shares of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, 1,200 shares of
Series G Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into
436,363,636
shares of Common Stock,
400
shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 145,454,545
shares of Common Stock,
1,650
shares
of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 6
00,000,000
shares of Common Stock, 450 shares of Series L Convertible Preferred Stock
convertible into
450,000,000
shares
of Common Stock and warrants to purchase 349,150,000 shares of Common
Stock. Presently, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation
authorize the Company to issue only up to 1,360,000 shares of Common
Stock. As such, the Company cannot issue all of the shares of Common
Stock which Vicis has the right to acquire. Accordingly, the Company
is in violation of the provisions of various agreements between the Company and
Vicis requiring the Company to have a sufficient number of shares of Common
Stock reserved and available to issue to Vicis in the event Vicis exercises any
right to convert into Common Stock shares of Company preferred stock it holds or
exercises any warrant to purchase Company Common Stock it holds.
In
addition to the foregoing, in connection with the Investment, the Warrant to
Purchase Common Stock issued to Vicis by the Company on June 29, 2009 was
amended to delete from the warrant provisions allowing Vicis to require the
Company to redeem the warrant in the event of a change of control, subject to
certain conditions and to provide that the warrant may not be exercised prior to
December 31, 2009.
The
foregoing summary is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, Warrant Registration Rights
Agreement and First Amendment to Warrant, attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1,
10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively.
Item
3.02
Unregistered Sales of
Equity Securities.
The
information contained in Item 1.01 above and Item 5.03 below is incorporated
herein by reference in response to this Item 3.02. The Shares and
Warrant were offered and sold to Vicis in a private placement transaction in
reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company based such reliance
on certain representations made by Vicis to the Company including that Vicis is
an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.
The
information contained in Item 5.03 below is incorporated herein by reference in
response to this Item 3.03.
Item
