ITEM 1. Changes in Control of Registrant.
As previously reported on Registrant's Form 8-K for the month of
March 1997, on March 21, 1997, two independent Canadian Investors, Societe
Innovatech du Grand Montreal and Sofinov Societe Financiere D'Innovation Inc.
(the "Canadian Investors"), agreed to invest $4,000,000 Canadian Dollars (CDN)
for the development and promotion of the Registrant's Digital Jukebox, upon
certain terms and conditions. To accomplish this, the Canadian Investors
agreed to invest $4,000,000 CDN in TouchTunes Digital Jukebox Inc.
("TouchTunes"), a Canadian corporation which was organized by the Registrant
specifically for that purpose. The Registrant entered into an agreement by
which TouchTunes agreed to carry out the research and development work needed
for the Digital Jukeboxes and to provide all such additional services
reasonably requested by the Registrant in connection with the implementation of
the Digital Jukebox project.
The Canadian Investors initially purchased 100 Class B shares and 20
Class C shares of TouchTunes, at a price of $5,000 CDN per share, for an
immediate cash consideration of $600,000 CDN. They also subscribed to an
additional 680 Class C shares of TouchTunes, at a price of $5,000 CDN per
share, for a consideration of $3,400,000 CDN. Both the Class C shares and the
$3,400,000 CDN were deposited in escrow. The Class B and the Class C shares of
TouchTunes may be exchanged at the option of the Canadian Investors, into
2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Registrant and then
converted share for share into Common Stock. Subsequently, on May 9, 1997, the
Canadian Investors released an additional $750,000 CDN against delivery of 150
Class C shares, leaving a balance of $2,650,000 CDN and 530 Class C shares in
escrow. On July 17, 1997, the Canadian Investors released the remaining
$2,650,000 CDN to TouchTunes against delivery to them of the remaining 530
Class C shares of TouchTunes. These funds have been used to implement the
start-up business activities of the Registrant.
The Registrant is the owner of 800 Class A shares of TouchTunes. As
a result of the foregoing transactions, the Canadian Investors own 100 Class B
shares and 700 Class C shares of TouchTunes. The Class A shares entitle the
holder to one vote per share. The Class B shares entitle the holder to eight
votes per share and the Class C shares are non-voting. Therefore, the
Registrant and the Canadian Investors have equal voting rights in TouchTunes.
On February 11, 1998, the Canadian Investors subscribed for an
aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 (US) of debentures ("Debentures")
issued by TouchTunes. The Debentures are payable by TouchTunes on demand, only
after the occurrence of an event of default as defined by the subscription
agreement. Upon default, the Debentures would bear interest at the rate of 12%
per annum, payable in one single installment, concurrently with the payment of
the principal amount. At any time prior to February 11, 1999, TouchTunes had
the right to require the Canadian Investors to purchase additional Debentures,
up to an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 (US), bearing the same terms
and conditions, in six increments of $1,000,000 each.
On that same date, February 11, 1998, the Registrant entered into a
"Debenture Put Right Agreement" with the Canadian Investors, providing them
with the right and option to require the Registrant to purchase all or any part
of the principal amount of Debentures they have acquired (up to $10,000,000 in
principal amount), at an exchange rate of $2.00 per share, for the issuance by
the Registrant of up to 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
convertible at the option of the holders, share for share, into an aggregate of
up to 5,000,000 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.
2<PAGE>
On February 11, 1998, the Registrant and the Canadian Investors
amended and restated their Shareholders' Agreement of March 21, 1997. Among
other things, the Amended and Restated Agreement provides that the Canadian
Investors collectively are entitled to two seats on the Registrant's Board of
Directors, which shall consist of at least six directors.
On August 5, 1998, TouchTunes required the Canadian Investors to
purchase an additional $2,000,000 (US) principal amount of Debentures with the
same terms as those previously issued on February 11, 1998.
On November 2, 1998, TouchTunes required the Canadian Investors to
purchase an additional $4,000,000 (US) principal amount of Debentures with the
same terms as those previously issued on February 11, 1998, bringing the total
amount of Debentures purchased to the agreed upon maximum of $10,000,000 (US) .
Based on the present number of shares of the Registrant's Common
Stock issued and outstanding (14,658,644 shares), upon the exchange of their
TouchTunes Class B Shares of Series A Preferred shares of the Registrant and
the conversion of such Series A Preferred shares into 2,000,000 shares of the
Registrant's Common Stock, the Canadian Investors will own approximately 12% of
the Common Stock of the Registrant. Upon the exchange of their $10,000,000
principal amount of Debentures into an additional 5,000,000 shares of the
Registrant's Series A Preferred Stock and their conversion of such Series A
Preferred shares into the Registrant's Common Stock, the Canadian Investors
will own approximately 32.32% of the Registrant's Common Stock.
ITEM 5. Other Events.
(a) On December 4, 1998, the Registrant changed its name to
TouchTunes Music Corporation and increased its authorized shares to 50,000,000
shares of Class A Voting Common Stock, and 10,000,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock.
