Stockholders Agreement
On March 10, 2021, the Issuer, the Reporting Person, Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC (“Charter”) and Pine Investor, LLC (“Pine,” and, together with the Reporting Person and Charter, referred to herein collectively, as the “Purchasers” and each individually, as a “Purchaser”) entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “SHA”), pursuant to which, among other things, immediately following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the separate Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements between the Issuer and each of Charter and Pine (the “Closing”), the Issuer was obligated to take all necessary action to ensure that the Board consists of 10 total directors: two designees of each Purchaser, the chief executive officer of the Issuer and three individuals who were directors of the Issuer prior to the Closing and that certain committees of the Board consist of individuals agreed by the Issuer and the Purchasers.
5
Under the SHA, the Issuer is obligated to take all necessary action (to the extent not prohibited by law) to cause the Board to nominate for election that number of individuals designated by a Purchaser that, if elected, would result in two designees of such Purchaser serving on the Board until the earlier of such time as such Purchaser (a) beneficially owns a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock representing less than 50% of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such Purchaser as of the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”) after giving effect to the purchase of Series B Preferred Stock the by Purchasers (“Initial Preferred Stock Ownership”) as a result of such Purchaser’s Transfer (as defined in the SHA) of such shares to any of the other Purchasers or (b) beneficially owns Voting Stock (as defined in the SHA) representing less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis), after which time such Purchaser’s designation rights will be reduced to one designee until such time as such Purchaser beneficially owns Voting Stock representing less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis), after which time such Purchaser will no longer have any rights to designate a nominee to serve on the Board thereunder.
Pursuant to the SHA, if one of the Purchasers (the “Buying Stockholder”) acquires from one of the other Purchasers (the “Selling Stockholder”) a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to (a) at least 50% (but less than 100%) or (b) 100% of the Selling Stockholder’s Initial Preferred Stock Ownership in accordance with the terms of the SHA, the Selling Stockholder will be obligated to cause one (in the case of clause (a)) or two (in the case of clause (b)) of its designated directors to resign, and the Issuer will be obligated to take all necessary action (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) to cause the Board to appoint one or two, respectively, additional person (s) designated by the Buying Stockholder to fill such vacancy or vacancies, as applicable. If a Buying Stockholder acquires a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 10% or more of the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock as of such time (determined on an as-converted basis) from a person (other than another Purchaser and its Permitted Transferees (as defined in the SHA)), the Issuer will be obligated to, among other things, take all necessary action (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) to cause the Board to (x) increase the size of the Board as required to enable the Buying Stockholder to designate one additional person to the Board, and (y) appoint such additional person designated by the Buying Stockholder to fill such newly created vacancy, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SHA. In no event will a single Purchaser be entitled to designate a number of directors to the Board that would constitute a majority of the Board.
Subject to compliance with applicable laws, stock exchange regulations and the order of the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, dated February 23, 2018, related to the settlement of shareholder derivative litigation against the Issuer, for so long as a Purchaser beneficially owns Voting Stock representing at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis), the Issuer will take all necessary action (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) to cause the Board to appoint (i) at least one of such Purchaser’s designees to serve on the compensation committee of the Board, (ii) at least one of such Purchaser’s designees to serve on the nominating and governance committee of the Board and (iii) at least one of such Purchaser’s designees to serve on the finance committee of the Board.
For so long as a Purchaser beneficially owns Voting Stock representing at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis), such Purchaser will be entitled to appoint one observer on the Board or any committee thereof in a non-voting capacity.
For so long as a Purchaser beneficially owns Voting Stock representing at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis), such Purchaser agrees to (a) vote, or provide a written consent or proxy with respect to, its Voting Stock in favor of each Purchaser’s director designees and (b) vote, or provide a written consent or proxy with respect to, its Voting Stock, in each case in the same manner and in the same proportion as holders of the outstanding Common Stock (other than the applicable Purchaser or certain of its transferees) voted, in the election of any directors nominated by the Issuer’s Board of directors (other than pursuant to any Purchaser’s right to designate such director pursuant to the terms of the SHA.)
For so long as a Stockholder beneficially owns Voting Stock representing at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis, each Stockholder agrees to vote, or provide a written consent or proxy with respect to, its Voting Stock, and to cause such Stockholder’s Permitted Transferees that become a party to the SHA to vote, or provide a written consent or proxy with respect to, their Voting Stock, in each case in a neutral manner, in the election of any directors nominated by the Board, other than pursuant to any Stockholder’s right to designate such Director pursuant to the terms of the SHA.
6
Pursuant to the SHA and subject to certain exceptions, each Purchaser will agree, for one year after the Closing Date, not to Transfer (as defined in the SHA) or enter into a cash-settled hedge with respect to any shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such Purchaser, including any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Thereafter, until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and subject to customary exceptions, each Purchaser agrees not to Transfer or enter into a cash-settled hedge with respect to more than 50% of such Purchaser’s Initial Preferred Stock Ownership, including any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of such Series B Preferred Stock. Each Purchaser will agree that any permitted Transfers (including Transfers after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) will not be to a competitor of the Issuer, an activist investor or certain other restricted persons.
Pursuant to the SHA, until such time as such Purchaser beneficially owns Voting Stock representing less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis), each Purchaser will be subject to customary standstill restrictions in accordance with which each Purchaser and its respective affiliates will agree not to, among other things, and subject to the exceptions set forth in the SHA, (a) for a period of twelve months following the Closing Date, acquire any equity securities of the Issuer from any other Purchaser or any of its affiliates, (b) acquire any equity securities of the Issuer such that after such acquisition such Purchaser and its affiliates would beneficially own 45% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis), (c) publicly seek or encourage any offer or proposal for a merger or similar transaction involving the Issuer, (d) make, or in any way participate in, directly or indirectly, any “solicitation” of “proxies” (within the meaning of Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange Act) to vote any Voting Stock of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, or call or seek to call a meeting of the Issuer stockholders or initiate any stockholder proposal for action by the Issuer stockholders or seek the removal of any director from the Board or (e) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) in connection with any Voting Stock of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, including with any other Purchaser or its affiliates.
Pursuant to the SHA, in the event a Purchaser contemplates Transferring any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock to another Person, the other Purchasers will each have a right of first refusal to purchase any or all of their respective pro rata portions of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, subject to exceptions set forth in the SHA. Additionally, in the event the Issuer contemplates the sale or other disposition of any patents, Charter will have a right of first offer and a right of first refusal to acquire such patents, on the terms and subject to exceptions as set forth in the SHA.
Pursuant to the SHA, except for the issuance of certain excluded securities or pursuant to the conversion or exercise of any capital stock of the Issuer outstanding on Closing Date, the Purchasers will have customary preemptive rights with respect to any authorized issuance or sale of any of the Issuer’s capital stock following the Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SHA, on a single occasion after January 1, 2022, upon any Purchaser’s request, subject to the conditions set forth in the SHA, the Issuer will (a) take all actions reasonably necessary to pay a one-time dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Special Dividend”) equal to the highest dividend that the Board determines can be paid at that time (or a lesser amount as may be unanimously agreed upon by the Purchasers), subject to the additional conditions and limitations set forth in the SHA, (b) to the extent required based on the Issuer’s financial condition, reasonably promptly seek and obtain debt financing to pay such Special Dividend, and (c) declare and pay such Special Dividend, which, if debt financing is required, will be paid substantially contemporaneous with, or reasonably promptly after, the consummation of such debt financing. If $100,000,000 of the Special Dividend and annual dividends, in aggregate, have been paid on the Series B Preferred Stock, the Issuer will use any remaining amount of the Special Dividend requested by the Purchasers to pay a pro rata dividend on the Common Stock (with the Series B Preferred Stock participating on an as-converted basis in accordance with the Certificate of Designations).
Pursuant to the terms of the SHA, the prior written consent of each Purchaser is required for the Issuer to effect or validate certain enumerated actions in the SHA for so long as such Purchaser beneficially owns Voting Stock representing at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis).
If a Purchaser sells 50% or more of its Initial Preferred Stock Ownership to another party (that is not a Permitted Transferee of such Purchaser or another Purchaser), it may assign its rights and obligations under the SHA to such party in accordance with the SHA. The SHA will terminate with respect to any particular Purchaser upon the mutual agreement in writing among the Issuer and such Purchaser. The SHA will terminate automatically as to any particular Purchaser and certain transferees at such time as such Purchaser no longer beneficially owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) at any time.
7
The foregoing summary of the SHA does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the SHA, which is attached as Exhibit 7(a) and incorporated herein by reference.
Registration Rights Agreement
At the Closing, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “RRA”) with the Purchasers (together with any other party that may become a party to the RRA, “Holders”). Pursuant to the RRA, among other things, and on the terms and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the Issuer is obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file within 120 days after the Closing Date a registration statement registering the sale or distribution of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock held by any Holder, including any shares of Common Stock acquired by any Holder pursuant to the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Designations for the Series B Preferred Stock, and any other securities issued or issuable with respect to any such shares of Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock by way of share split, share dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise (the “Registrable Securities”).
In addition, pursuant to the RRA, Holders have the right to require the Issuer, subject to certain limitations set forth therein, to effect a sale of any or all of their Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering or an underwritten block trade or bought deal. The Issuer is not obligated to effect any underwritten offering or underwritten block trade or bought deal (a) subject to certain exceptions, unless the dollar amount of the Registrable Securities of Holder(s) demanding such underwritten offering or underwritten block trade or bought deal to be included therein is anticipated to result in gross sale proceeds of at least $25 million, (b) if three underwritten offerings or underwritten block trades or bought deals have already been launched at the request of Holder(s) within a 365-day period or (c) during the Quarterly Blackout Period (as defined in the RRA).
The RRA also provides Holders with certain customary piggyback registration rights.
These registration rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares to be included in a registration or offering and the Issuer’s right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances.
The foregoing summary of the RRA does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the RRA, which is attached as Exhibit 7(b) and incorporated herein by reference.
