Item�1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December�22, 2014, SeaChange International, Inc. (�SeaChange�) agreed to acquire TLL, LLC (�Timeline Labs�), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the �Merger Agreement�). Timeline Labs is a California-based SaaS company that enables local broadcasters, national news organizations and other media companies and brands to analyze social media messages in real-time, find and broadcast social trends, and measure viewing audience engagement across television, mobile and personal computers. The Merger Agreement has been approved by the boards of SeaChange and Timeline Labs, and, subsequent to signing, by the equityholders of Timeline Labs. Approval by the SeaChange stockholders is not required in connection with the transaction.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub will merge with and into Timeline Labs (the �Merger�), with Timeline Labs continuing after the Merger as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of SeaChange. On the signing date pursuant to the Merger Agreement, SeaChange made an escrow deposit of $2,500,000 (the �Deposit Escrow�), which may be drawn upon by Timeline Labs for working capital purposes prior to the closing under the Merger Agreement, subject to an agreed upon cash flow plan. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding Timeline Labs equity unit will convert into the right to receive a portion of the following cash and stock amounts, each as specified in the Merger Agreement:

$12,600,000 in cash paid at closing, reduced by any indebtedness and any amounts withdrawn by Timeline Labs from the Deposit Escrow and subject to a closing working capital adjustment;

$1,910,000 in shares of Common Stock of SeaChange paid at closing;

$1,400,000 in cash and $490,000 in shares of Common Stock of SeaChange deposited in escrow at closing with respect to specified indemnification matters;

Deferred stock consideration aggregating $5,600,000 shares of Common Stock of SeaChange paid six months from closing and 12 months from closing, with an aggregate of $560,000 in value of such shares deposited in escrow with respect to specified indemnification matters;

Earnout payments totaling up to $2,500,000 in shares of Common Stock of SeaChange based on the operating performance of Timeline Labs, measured by qualifying revenue, on a cumulative and one-year performance target basis for the periods ended January�31, 2016 and 2017;

Shares of SeaChange issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement are issuable in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 thereunder. SeaChange has agreed to file a resale registration statement subsequent to consummation of the Merger.

Under the Merger Agreement, the former equityholders of Timeline Labs may on or prior to January�5, 2015 submit a nominee to serve on the SeaChange Board of Directors (the �Board�), which nominee would be appointed to the Board, subject to SeaChange�s customary director evaluation policies and procedures, effective as of the closing. This nomination right continues until the earlier of January�31, 2017 (the end of the earnout period), the date on which the maximum earnout consideration has been paid in full and a change in control of SeaChange.

The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including, among other things: (i)�the accuracy of representations made by Timeline Labs in the Merger Agreement, and (ii)�the material performance by Timeline Labs of its obligations under the Merger Agreement.

Payments under the Merger Agreement subsequent to closing are subject to reduction should there have been a breach of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement. In addition, in limited circumstances, amounts paid at closing are subject to forfeiture should there have been a breach of certain specified representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement.

The terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are the result of arm�s length negotiation among the parties.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and is incorporated in this report by reference. A copy of SeaChange�s press release announcing the transaction is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.


The Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about SeaChange, the Merger Sub or Timeline Labs. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for the purposes of such agreement and as of specified dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Certain of the representations and warranties have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement. In addition, the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement (i)�are qualified by information in a confidential disclosure schedule that the parties have exchanged, (ii)�were made only as of the date of such agreement or a prior, specified date, and (iii)�in some cases are subject to qualifications with respect to materiality, knowledge and/or other matters, including standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in SeaChange�s public disclosures. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of SeaChange or Timeline Labs or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

9.2. Indemnification Limits.

(a) If the Closing occurs, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) shall not be entitled to recover any Losses (as hereinafter defined) for breach of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein (i)�unless and until the Purchaser Indemnified Parties� aggregate claims therefor exceed $245,000, at which time the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover Losses for all claims, including the first $245,000, or (ii)�for an aggregate amount in excess of $2,450,000; provided, that claims for breach of any of the Fundamental Representations shall not be subject to the foregoing limits and shall not be included in the determination of whether the limit in clause (ii)�of this Section�9.2(a) has been reached; provided, further, that claims for breach of any of the Fundamental Representations (other than the Specified Representations) shall not exceed $2,450,000.

(d) For all purposes of this Article 9 only, once it has been established that there has been any breach of any representation or warranty, or any breach of any covenant or agreement, when calculating the amount of Losses resulting from such breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, any Material Adverse Effect or other materiality qualifier contained in any such representation or warranty will be disregarded.

(e) Payments by the Equityholders pursuant to this Article 9 in respect of any Losses shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom (i)�any insurance proceeds, net of any premium increases, and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of any such claim, provided, however, that no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have any obligation to pursue recovery under any insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar contracts, and (ii)�the amount of any actual reduction of Taxes payable by the Purchaser as a result of such Loss in the taxable year of such Loss and in the following year, assuming for purposes of such calculation that any deduction, loss or other Tax attribute generated by such Loss is the last such deduction, loss or other Tax attribute on any Tax return.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any liability for indemnification under this Agreement will be determined without duplication for recovery

50


because of the state of facts giving rise to the Losses constitutes a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder.

In the event that the Equityholder Representative shall fail to object to any item or amount set forth in a Claim Certificate by delivering to the Purchaser an Objection Notice within the foregoing thirty (30)�day period, such failure shall be an irrevocable acknowledgement and be deemed to be an agreement by the Equityholder Representative and the Equityholders that the Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in the Claim Certificate and upon the expiration of such thirty (30)�day period, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release and deliver to Purchaser or its designated Purchaser Indemnified Party an amount equal to any item(s) and amount(s) that the Equityholder Representative is deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to pursuant to this Section�9.5(b).

The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such memorandum and make distributions from the Indemnity Escrow in accordance with the terms thereof.

(d) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to twenty (20)�Business Days after delivery of an Objection Notice, then the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to pursue its available remedies for resolving its claim for indemnification. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and make distributions from the Indemnity Escrow to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in accordance with the terms of any award, judgment, decree or order, as applicable, with respect to any such claim for indemnification and following receipt of such award, judgment, decree or order, the Escrow Agent shall promptly release from the Indemnity Escrow and deliver to the Purchaser such amount of Indemnity Escrow Cash and/or such Indemnity Escrowed Shares that Purchaser is entitled to pursuant to this Agreement and such award, judgment, decree or order.

(f) The relative amount of Indemnity Escrow Cash and Indemnity Escrow Stock to be distributed from the Indemnity Escrow to satisfy an indemnification claim shall, to the extent possible, be determined on a pro rata basis based upon the relative amounts of Indemnity Escrow Cash and Indemnity Escrow Stock held in the Indemnity Escrow at the time of distribution.

(g) If any indemnification claim pursuant to Section�9.3 is required to be paid directly by an Equityholder other than by amounts held in the Indemnity Escrow, then any indemnifiable Losses pursuant to this Article 9 payable to a Purchaser Indemnified Party may be satisfied either (at the election of the Equityholder) (i)�entirely in cash or (ii)�by paying a portion in cash and a portion through the forfeiture of shares of Purchaser Common Stock received as Merger Consideration, with the relative portions determined on a pro rata basis based upon the amount of Cash Consideration previously received by such Equityholder and the amount of Initial Stock Consideration previously received by such Equityholder. Any portion of a claim being satisfied through the forfeiture of shares of Purchaser Common Stock will not be deemed satisfied until the Equityholder has executed the documents required by Purchaser�s transfer agent to effectuate such forfeiture (including stock powers with respect to such forfeited shares).

9.6. Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims.

(a) A party or parties entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to a third party claim (the �Indemnified Party�) will give the party or parties required to provide such indemnification (the �Indemnifier�) prompt written notice of any legal proceeding, claim or

53


demand instituted by any third party (in each case, a �Claim�) in respect of which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section�9.6, if the Indemnifier provides written notice to the Indemnified Party stating that the Indemnifier is responsible for the entire Claim within 10 days after the Indemnifier�s receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of such Claim, the Indemnifier shall have the right, at the Indemnifier�s expense, to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Claim and to have the Indemnified Party represented by counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, selected by the Indemnifier; provided, that (i)�the Indemnified Party may participate in any proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense, (ii)�the Purchaser, at any time when it believes in good faith that any Claim is having or could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Business, the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries or if such Claim involves a customer of the Purchaser, the Company or any Subsidiary, may assume the defense and otherwise deal with such Claim in good faith, with counsel of its choice, and be fully indemnified therefor, (iii)�the Purchaser, at any time when it believes that a claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, indictment or investigation, may assume the defense and otherwise deal with such Claim in good faith with counsel of its choice, and be fully indemnified therefor, (iv)�the Indemnifier may not assume the defense of any Claim if an actual conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifier and the Indemnified Party that precludes effective joint representation or the amount of any Claim exceeds or reasonably could exceed the limits of indemnification acknowledged by the Indemnifier, and (v)�the Indemnified Party may take over the defense and prosecution of a Claim from the Indemnifier if the Indemnifier has failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Claim; and provided further, that the Indemnifier may not enter into a settlement of any Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides the Indemnified Party with a full release from such Claim and requires no more than a monetary payment for which the Indemnified Party is fully indemnified.

SEACHANGE ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE TIMELINE LABS

Acquisition Brings Social Media Analytics

to Leading Multiscreen Television Footprint

ACTON, Mass. (Dec. 22, 2014) � SeaChange International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEAC), a leading global multiscreen video software innovator, today announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire TLL, LLC which does business as Timeline Labs. Timeline Labs is a privately-owned, California-based SaaS company that enables local broadcasters, local and national news organizations, cable news channels and other media companies and brands to analyze social media messages in real-time, find and broadcast newsworthy social trends and insights, and measure viewing audience engagement across television, mobile and PC. Timeline�s customers include FOX Television Stations, Sinclair, Media General and Tribune broadcast television stations, as well as online providers like 120Sports.com.

Under the terms of the definitive agreement, SeaChange will pay $14 million in cash, $8 million in shares of SeaChange stock, and up to an additional $2.5 million in deferred performance-based consideration payable in shares of SeaChange stock. This payment will be based on financial targets for Timeline Labs over a two-year period with payment upon achievement of these metrics occurring annually. For fiscal 2016, the transaction is anticipated to be neutral to SeaChange�s non-GAAP earnings per share. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close on February�2, 2015. All Timeline Labs employees, including the CEO and senior leadership team, will join SeaChange as part of the transaction. In addition, SeaChange has agreed to name one person designated by Timeline Labs� equityholders to the SeaChange board of directors, effective as of closing of the transaction.


Timeline Labs provides a rapidly deployed content management platform that enables its customers to discover, curate and display geographically targeted news stories that are trending across social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) with visualizations that are ready for air on television and over-the-top. Timeline�s major investors include former executives of television networks ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC, Sinclair Broadcast Group, and Guggenheim Digital Media.

SeaChange CEO Jay Samit stated, �Timeline Labs� success demonstrates that social media can be captured for the advantage of the television industry, bringing concrete, new value by truly reflecting and serving the current mindset of their specific audiences. While the broadcast segment represents an accretive growth opportunity for SeaChange, the Timeline Labs platform will allow us to extend the social news paradigm to multiscreen television service providers, so they can easily launch ready-made and differentiated live or on-demand content packages tailored to the interests of their subscribers.�

Timeline Labs CEO Malcolm CasSelle added, �Unlike its competitors, Timeline Labs provides best-of-breed search capabilities across multiple social networks to surface breaking and trending news for top media organizations. It also features visualization tools that let broadcasters and other news teams do what they do best: tell stories and break news. Our teaming with SeaChange is an exciting stage for Timeline Labs. We anticipate cross-selling opportunities that will help us to extend our platform to new customers including multiscreen and OTT service providers in new geographies.�

Through their shared focus on innovating to enhance television service providers� effectiveness, SeaChange and Timeline Labs began collaborating to enable the NewCoin local TV audience measurement venture announced last week with FOX Television Stations, Tribune Media and Univision. NewCoin�s mission is to harness the data-gathering power of currently available and emerging technologies in order to create a broader based measurement tool that will accurately measure audiences across the entire spectrum of linear and digital platforms.

SeaChange will meet with television service providers and content owners during the National Association of Television Programming Executives Conference (NATPE 2015, Miami, January�20-22) and the National Cable Television Cooperative�s Winter Education Conference (San Antonio, January�26-27).

Further information on factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated is detailed in various publicly available documents made by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to, those appearing under the caption �Certain Risk Factors� in the Company�s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April�4, 2014. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of those factors. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak as of the date they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any such statements to reflect any change in Company expectations or events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
