The information set forth in Item 4 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3, as applicable.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

On March 31, 2015, the Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of the ADRs in connection with the consummation of the business combination transaction (the “Transaction”) contemplated by the contribution agreement by and between the Issuer and the Silver Eagle dated December 31, 2014, as amended February 3, 2015 (the “Contribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Silver Eagle contributed approximately $273.3 million to the Issuer in exchange for equity shares of the Issuer. The Issuer’s equity shares are represented by the ADSs, with each ADS representing four Videocon d2h equity shares. The Reporting Persons received one ADS for each share of common stock of Silver Eagle held as of the closing fate. The Sponsor received 4,877,000 ADSs

5
 

 

over which all of the Reporting Persons share voting and investment power. Each of Messrs Sloan and Sagansky received 99,500 ADSs over which they each have sole voting and investment power.

 

Earnout Issuances

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, the Sponsor will be entitled to be issued up to 2 million additional ADSs (which is equal to 8 million Videocon d2h equity shares), following March 31, 2015, by way of a bonus issue of shares (or such other form of issuance as determined by the independent members of the Board of Directors of Videocon d2h) in accordance with applicable Indian laws, subject to the achievement of certain ADS price targets for a specified period following March 31, 2015.

 

The share price performance hurdles are as follows: (i) 50% of the total number of equity shares subject to the earnout provision will be issued if the last sales price of Videocon d2h ADSs on NASDAQ (converted into Indian rupees on each such date in accordance with the Contribution Agreement) equals or exceeds 125% of the price per Videocon d2h ADS issued to the Silver Eagle stockholders (converted into Indian rupees in accordance with the Contribution Agreement) (as adjusted for splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period within three years following March 31, 2015, and (ii) the remaining 50% of the total number of equity shares subject to the earnout provision will be issued if the last sales price of Videocon d2h ADSs on NASDAQ (converted into Indian rupees in accordance with the Contribution Agreement) equals or exceeds 150% of the price per Videocon d2h ADS to be issued to the Silver Eagle stockholders (converted into Indian rupees in accordance with the Contribution Agreement) (as adjusted for splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period within three years following March 31, 2015.

However, at any time prior to the satisfaction of these share price hurdles during the three year period following March 31, 2015, if Videocon d2h files a draft red herring prospectus for an initial public offering in India, then all the unissued equity shares and ADSs subject to the above described earnout provision shall be issued prior to filing of such draft red herring prospectus, provided however that necessary actions will be taken in accordance with applicable law to cause the effect of 50% of such issuance to be nullified if the last sales price of the Videocon d2h ADSs on NASDAQ (converted into rupees) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period within three years from March 31, 2015 (as adjusted for splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) does not equal or exceed 125% of the price per ADS issued to the Silver Eagle stockholders in the Transaction (converted into rupees) and to cause the effect of the remaining 50% of such issuance to be nullified if the last sales price of the Videocon d2h ADSs on the NASDAQ (converted into rupees) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period within three years from March 31, 2015 (as adjusted for splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) equals or exceeds 150% of the price per ADS issued to the Silver Eagle stockholders in the Transaction (converted into rupees).

 

Sponsor Lockup

 

The Sponsor has executed an agreement (the “Sponsor Lockup Agreement”), pursuant to which it has agreed that during the Lock-up Period (as defined below), subject to certain customary exceptions, it will not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to contract to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option or purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to any portion of its Videocon d2h ADSs issued pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Videocon d2h ADSs, whether such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Videocon d2h ADSs or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in (i) or (ii) above.

 

The Lock-up Period is the period beginning on March 31, 2015 and ending on the earlier of the date: (a) that is 12 months following March 31, 205 or earlier if (x) the last sales price of Videocon d2h ADSs on the Nasdaq Stock Market (converted into Indian rupees on each such date at the Indian Rupee/U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate on such day) equals or exceeds 125% of the price per Videocon d2h ADSs issued to the Silver Eagle stockholders (converted into

6
 

 

Indian rupees at the Indian Rupee/U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate prevailing on March 31, 2105) (as adjusted for splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period within three years following March 31, 2015, after which transfers of 50% of the Videocon d2h ADSs will be permitted, or (y) the last sales price of Videocon d2h ADSs on the Nasdaq Stock Market (converted into Indian rupees on each such date at the Indian Rupee/U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate on such day) equals or exceeds 150% of the price per Videocon d2h ADS issued to the Silver Eagle stockholders (converted into Indian rupees at the Indian Rupee/U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate prevailing on March 31, 2015) (as adjusted for splits, dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period within three years following March 31, 2015, after which transfers of the remaining 50% of the Videocon d2h ADSs will be permitted), (b) Videocon d2h consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the equityholders of Videocon d2h (including the holders of the Videocon d2h ADSs) having the right to exchange their equity securities for cash, securities or other property and (c) Videocon d2h consummates an initial public offering of its equity shares in India with such shares listed on a recognized stock exchange in India. In addition, the Sponsor shall also be permitted to transfer the Videocon d2h ADSs to Videocon d2h in connection with any redemption, repurchase, acquisition, exchange, tender offer or otherwise of Videocon d2h ADSs in the event that the holders of the Videocon d2h ADSs (other than the Sponsor) fail to sell a sufficient number of Videocon d2h ADSs in connection with any such redemption, repurchase, acquisition, exchange, tender offer or other similar transaction.
