Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 29, 2015, Glu Mobile Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, Tencent Holdings Limited (“Tencent”) and Tencent’s controlled affiliate, Red River Investment Limited (“Red River”).  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Red River in a private placement an aggregate of 21,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $6.00 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $126 million (the “Offering”).  The Company issued 12,500,000 Shares to Red River on April 29, 2015 (the “Initial Closing”) and will issue the remaining 8,500,000 Shares at a second closing (the “Second Closing”) following the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart—Scott—Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 applicable to the Offering.

 

In connection with the Offering, the Company, Tencent and Red River have entered into a Voting and Standstill Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to cause Xiaoyi (“Steven”) Ma, Senior Vice President of Tencent, to be elected and appointed as a new member of its Board of Directors (“Board”) as a Class I director, and to subsequently nominate for future director elections Mr. Ma or his successor as the Tencent Designee (as defined in the Voting Agreement).  On April 28, 2015, the Board so elected Mr. Ma, contingent upon, and effective the day immediately following, the Initial Closing.  Tencent will continue to have a right to appoint one member to the Board so long as (1) Tencent and its controlled Affiliates, including Red River (“Tencent Group”), continue to hold a net long ownership position of at least 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares (the “Rights Minimum”) and (2) Tencent or Tencent’s Designee does not materially breach any material obligation to the Company under the Voting Agreement and a separate confidentiality agreement between the parties related to confidentiality and use limitations for information Mr. Ma (or a subsequent Tencent Designee) obtains by virtue of serving on the Board, which breach is not cured within 30 days following Tencent’s receipt of written notice of such breach.

 

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, Tencent has agreed to vote all shares of the Company’s common stock held by Tencent Group that it is entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders of the Company in favor of:

 

·                  certain corporate matters specified in the Voting Agreement if the matter has been recommended by a majority of the Company’s Board that includes at least 50% of the Board’s non-executive directors (a “Majority Recommendation”) and

 

·                  any matter for which the Tencent Designee votes in favor and for which the Glu Board has also provided a recommendation to vote in favor (collectively, the “Voting Restrictions”).

 

In addition, Tencent Group has agreed that for any matter that has received a Majority Recommendation, to the extent Tencent Group has beneficial ownership in excess of 20% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, it will vote such shares of the Company’s common stock in excess of 20% in accordance with such Majority Recommendation (the “Voting Limit”).  Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, Tencent has agreed to provide the Company with written notice of the maximum amount of common stock of the Company that it and its controlled affiliates collectively intends to acquire in the following six (6) month period prior to commencing such acquisition (but such notice need not state when in such period such securities may be acquired).

 

The Voting Limit terminates upon (1) a third party acquiring more than 20% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, provided that if such holder’s ownership thereafter falls to 20% or lower, the Voting Limit will again be in effect; and (2) the eighth anniversary following the Initial Closing.  Both the Voting Restrictions and the Voting Limit terminate (1) the extent to which, following Negotiated Transaction Discussions (as defined in the Voting Agreement), the Board, approves a transaction whereby Tencent and its controlled Affiliates collectively have economic beneficial ownership equal to at least 50% of the total Common Stock of the Company then outstanding, or (2) if Tencent no longer has a designee on, or the right to appoint a designee to, the Company’s Board.

 

2



 

Tencent also agreed, subject to certain exceptions, including engaging in Negotiated Transactions (as defined in the Voting Agreement) and mutually agreed commercial transactions with the Company, that it and its controlled affiliates will not, unless approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with others:

 

·                  own in excess of 25% of Company’s stock;

 

·                  acquire any material assets, indebtedness or businesses of the Company or any of its controlled affiliates;

 

·                  propose or engage in any tender or exchange offer, merger, consolidation, acquisition, or other business combination, involving the Company or any of its controlled affiliates or significant assets of the Company or any of its controlled affiliates (provided that Tencent will not be restricted from tendering securities into any tender offer or exchange offer);

 

·                  propose or engage in any recapitalization, restructuring, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any of its controlled affiliates or any of their respective securities;

 

·                  make, participate in or intentionally encourage any solicitation of proxies or consents;

 

·                  intentionally seek representation on or to control the management, Board or policies of the Company or to obtain representation on the Board;

 

·                  propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company;

 

·                  form or participate in any Group (as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) with respect to any material or significant securities or assets of the Company for purposes of the foregoing;

 

·                  take any action which would or would reasonably be expected to force the Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth above; or

 

·                  intentionally enter into any formal or informal discussions or arrangements with any third party, other than discussions or arrangements with representatives of Tencent or arrangements with Tencent’s controlled affiliates, for the purpose of any of the foregoing.

 

These standstill provisions will be suspended upon (1) the Company entering into an agreement providing for (a) the Acquisition (as defined in the Voting Agreement) of the Company including by stock purchase, merger or the acquisition and/or license of all or substantially all of the Company assets and/or intellectual property or (b) the acquisition of, including by way of tender offer or otherwise, beneficial ownership representing a majority of the voting power of the Company or (2) a third party acquiring and holding more than 25% of the outstanding common stock of the Company and will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (1) the completion of a Competing Transaction (as defined in the Voting Agreement), (2) Tencent no longer holding the Rights Minimum or (3) the eighth anniversary following the Initial Closing.

 

3



 

In addition, pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Company has agreed not to enter into any agreement with a third party in furtherance of an Acquisition (as defined in the Voting Agreement) that would preclude the ability of the Company to conduct discussions or negotiations or reach an agreement with Tencent Group until after a five business day waiting period following the Company’s delivery of a written notice to Tencent, stating the Company is contemplating a potential Acquisition, provided that such notice need not state the name of any potential party to such Acquisition, any of the terms or any other aspect thereof or whether there are more than one such Acquisitions being considered (“ROFN Notice”).  The Company further agreed that if, after the expiration of the aforementioned five business day waiting period, the Company enters into an Acquisition agreement with a third party, no such Acquisition agreement will preclude the ability of the Board to consider a bona fide, written and unsolicited Proposal from Tencent Group or any other third party that may be superior to the terms in such definitive agreement, and to change its recommendation with respect thereto following such consideration, to the extent required by Delaware law.  During the five-day waiting period, if requested by Tencent, the Company has agreed to negotiate in good faith with Tencent regarding a potential Acquisition involving Tencent Group and the Company.  During this five-day waiting period, the Company may negotiate with any other third party.  Following this five-day waiting period, the Company will have no further obligation to provide a ROFN Notice to Tencent with respect to any third party for a period of 180 days commencing the day following the end of the five-day waiting period.

 

The requirement that the Company provide ROFN Notices terminates upon the earlier of (1) the consummation of an Acquisition of the Company, (2) the date Tencent no longer has a designee on, or the right to appoint a designee to, the Company’s Board and (3) the eighth anniversary following the Initial Closing.

 

Further, the Company, Tencent and Red River entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within 45 days of any request made by Red River at any time following the date that is six months from the Initial Closing and to use all reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days after such request.  The Registration Rights Agreement also granted Red River customary piggyback registration rights.

 

Tencent and its Affiliates, including Red River, also agreed to a lock-up provision whereby they will not sell any of the Shares for a period of 18 months following the Initial Closing.

Upon request by Stockholder made in writing at any time following the date that is six (6) months from the Initial Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Company shall, within forty-five (45) days of its receipt of such request, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement for the public resale by Stockholder of the Registrable Stock on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, in respect of which the Company may use a Form S-3 registration statement (or any successor short form registration statement available for such resale that permits incorporation by reference at least to the same extent as such form) (“Form S-3”) or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on such form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of the Registrable Stock (the “Registration Statement”), and shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable and no later than the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after it files the Registration Statement with the SEC, and to remain continuously effective for the lesser of (i) the period during which all Registrable Stock registered under such Registration Statement are sold or (ii) three (3) years; provided, however, no filing of such Registration Statement shall be required during any Blackout Period.  The plan of distribution indicated in the Registration Statement will include all such transactions as Stockholder may reasonably request in writing prior to the filing of the Registration Statement and that can be included in the Registration Statement under the rules and regulations of the SEC.  In the case that Stockholder determines to have an underwritten offering, subject to the limitations contained in Section 4, the Company will use all reasonable efforts to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement as reasonably required in connection with such underwriting, provided, however, that such requested underwriting is for the sale of an amount of shares of Registrable Stock reasonably expected to result in gross proceeds in excess of $5,000,000, subject to the provisions of Section 2(b).  Stockholder shall be entitled to make no more than two (2) requests pursuant to this Section 2(a).

 

(b)           Delay.  Stockholder shall, for so long as a Tencent Designee (as defined in the Voting and Standstill Agreement) is serving as a member of the Board or otherwise a Representative of Stockholder is attending Board meetings, and ten (10) days thereafter, not make any sales of Registrable Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement in violation of the Policy.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2 or any other provision in this Agreement, the Company may (i) delay the filing of the Registration Statement, (ii) defer preparing and furnishing any supplement or amendment to a prospectus, (iii) suspend the use of the Registration Statement or any prospectus, or (iv) not take any actions required by Sections 2 and 3 hereof, to the extent relating to each of clauses (i) through (iii),

(collectively, the “Deferral Actions”) if the Company shall furnish to the Stockholder a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board or Lead Director if the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is also the Chairman of the Board, stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, including but not limited to, if such registration would (A) occur during any Blackout Period or otherwise violate the Policy, provided, that, in each case, a Tencent Designee is serving, or has within the past ten (10) days served, as a member of the Board or otherwise a Representative of Stockholder is attending, or has within the pastten (10) days attended,  Board meetings at the time of such proposed registration, (B)  unreasonably impede, delay or otherwise interfere with any pending or contemplated material acquisition, consolidation or corporate reorganization, involving the Company (each, a “Material Transaction”), (C) based upon advice from the Company’s investment banker or financial advisor, materially adversely affect any pending or contemplated financing, offering or sale of any class of securities by the Company, (D) require disclosure of material non-public information (other than information relating to an event described in clause (B) or (C) above) which, if disclosed at such time, would be materially harmful to the interests of the Company and its stockholders, or (E) render the Company unable to comply with the disclosure requirements of Applicable Securities Laws (a Deferral Action based on the matters described in this clause (E), a “Securities Law Compliance Deferral Action”); provided however that prior to taking any Deferral Action, the Company shall provide Stockholder with written notice of such delay, deferral or suspension (the “Deferral Notice”), which notice shall specify the general nature of the event giving rise to such Deferral Action, and Stockholder shall cease and otherwise defer usage of the Registration Statement and any Prospectus related thereto until the Company says such Deferral Action is no longer in effect, subject to the period limitations set forth below.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of Registrable Stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of (1) this Agreement or (2) the Policy at a time that a Tencent Designee is serving, or has within the past ten (10) days served, as a member of the Board or otherwise a Representative of Stockholder is attending, or has within the past ten (10) days attended,  Board meetings.  Stockholder shall keep confidential any communications received by it from the Company regarding any such Deferral Action, except as required by Applicable Law, regulation or the rules of any applicable securities exchange.  Following receipt of a Deferral Notice, Stockholder shall not make any further sales of Registrable Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement until Stockholder receives such notice, and any such amendment or supplement, from the Company.  Upon the Company taking a Deferral Action, any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after the request by Stockholder is given; provided, however, that the Company may not effect a Deferral Action more than twice or take Deferral Actions for a total of more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period.  The Company shall not restrict any registration, or the use or sales of securities under any Registration Statement, in connection with any Deferral Action unless such actions by each other stockholder having registration rights, registering securities of the Company or selling securities of the Company pursuant to a Company registration statement are similarly restricted in connection with the event or circumstance giving rise to the Deferral Notice; it being understood that while in connection with such event or

 

4



 

circumstance a Deferral Action will be similarly initiated with respect to such other stockholders, registrations and registrable securities, the duration of the Deferral Action applicable to Stockholder hereunder and such other stockholder(s) shall be subject to the respective agreements governing such registration rights (i.e., the duration of the Deferral Action with respect to Stockholder shall be governed by this Section 2(b) irrespective of any longer or shorter period for which such Deferral Action may be applicable to such other registration rights holder(s)).  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Stockholder will not engage in any trading in any securities of the Company during the ninety (90) day period following the later of (x) the time that a Tencent Designee ceases serving as a member of the Board or (y) the time that a Representative of Stockholder ceases otherwise attending Board meetings, unless such trading is conducted by personnel that have been compartmentalized from, and due care has been exercised to prevent such personnel from having access to or knowledge of, material, non-public information of the Company.

 

3.                                      Piggyback Registration.

 

(a)           If at any time or from time to time the Company shall determine to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for securityholders other than Stockholder) any of its shares or other securities, (other than (1) in a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, (2) a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 (or such other similar successor forms then in effect under the Securities Act), (3) a registration relating solely to an exchange by the Company of its own securities, (4) a registration statement relating solely to dividend reinvestment or similar plans, (5) a resale shelf registration statement relating solely to debt securities of the Company that are convertible into Common Stock and the underlying shares of Common Stock or (6) a registration pursuant to Section 2), the Company will:

 

(i)            promptly (but in no event less than 10 days before the effective date of the relevant Registration Statement) give to Stockholder written notice thereof; and

 

(ii)           include in such registration (and any related qualification under state securities laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Stock specified in a written request or requests, made within 5 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, by Stockholder, except as set forth in Section 4(c) below.

 

(b)           The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not Stockholder has elected to include securities in such registration.

 

4.                                      Underwriting Requirements.

 

(a)           At any time that a Registration Statement covering Registrable Stock pursuant to Section 2 is effective, if Stockholder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to effect an underwritten offering of all or part of its Registrable Stock included by it on the Registration Statement and stating the number of Registrable Stock included by it on a shelf registration statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”), and confirming that such sale of Registrable Stock is reasonably expected to result in gross proceeds in excess of $5,000,000, then the Company shall amend or supplement the

 

5



 

Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Stock to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Underwritten Offering.  In any such case, Stockholder shall have the right to select the underwriters or placement agent, if any, including any managing underwriter engaged in connection with such Registration, provided that any such underwriter or placement agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.

 

(b)           In the event that Stockholder intends to dispose of more than 5,000,000 shares in open-market transactions in any one month period, Stockholder will consult in good faith with the Company in advance thereof for the purpose of preventing undue impact to the market trading of the Company’s common stock and determining whether such disposition should be done in an underwritten offering under the Registration Statement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or in a placed “block sale” or similar transaction.  With respect to any other registration, the Company shall have the sole right to determine whether to engage underwriters or placement agents in any offering pursuant to the Registration Statement and, if so determined, shall have the sole right to select the underwriters or placement agent, if any, including any managing underwriter engaged in connection with the Registration Statement, and shall make all determinations related to any underwriter compensation (including fees, discount, commissions or incentive payments) and role in the underwriting syndicate.

 

(c)           If a registration pursuant to Section 2 is an underwritten offering (including a Shelf Underwritten Offering) and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Stock requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Stock which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering and within a price range acceptable to Stockholder, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of the Registrable Stock that in the opinion of such managing underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Stock shall be allocated as follows:

 

(i)            first, to the Registrable Stock requested to be included by Stockholder; and

 

(ii)           second, any other securities to be included in such underwritten offering.

 

(d)           If a registration pursuant to Section 3 is an underwritten offering, the right of Stockholder to registration pursuant to Section 3 shall be conditioned upon Stockholder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of Stockholder’s Registrable Stock in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  Stockholder shall, together with the Company and all other holders participating in such underwritten offering, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, including, without limitation (but in each case consistent with the treatment of any other securityholder participating in such underwritten offering, except to the extent differing circumstances customarily result in inconsistent treatment), customary representations and warranties (or indemnities with respect thereto and Stockholder provided information included in the Company registration statement) in connection with (i) Stockholder’s ownership of his, her or its Registrable Stock to be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, (ii) Stockholder’s power and authority to effect such transfer, and (iii) such

 

6



 

matters pertaining to compliance with Applicable Laws by Stockholder, with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4(d), if the underwriter determines that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the Company shall so advise Stockholder and all other holders participating in such underwritten offering, and the number of shares of such securities, including Registrable Stock, that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to the Company and second to Stockholder and any other holders with registration rights on a pro rata basis based on the total number of securities subject to registration rights held by such persons.  No such reduction shall (i) reduce the securities being offered by the Company for its own account to be included in the registration and underwriting, or (ii) reduce the amount of securities of Stockholder included in the registration below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration. No securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4(d) is intended to diminish the number of securities to be included by the Company in the underwriting.

 

(e)           In the event the Company files a registration statement pursuant to Section 3 for an underwritten offering, in the form reasonably requested by the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering, Stockholder will enter into a customary lockup agreement, whereby Stockholder will agree that, during the period ending on the date that is ninety (90) days after the date of the final prospectus relating to such Company Registration Statement, plus an extension period (not to exceed 17 days) as may be requested by an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) (or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), Stockholder will not, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, directly or indirectly, (A) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Stock, (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Registrable Stock or (C) engage in any short selling of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The foregoing shall not apply to (1) the sale of any Registrable Stock to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement; (2) any transfers to any Affiliate, stockholder, partner or member of, or owner of a similar equity interest in Stockholder, as the case may be, if, in any such case, such transfer is not for value; or (3) any distribution of Registrable Stock or any other security convertible into Registrable Stock to limited partners, members or stockholders of Stockholder or to Stockholder’s Affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by Stockholder; provided, however, with respect to transfers pursuant to clauses (2) and (3), any such transferees shall agree in writing to be bound by this Section 4(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) Stockholder shall not be required to enter into any such lock-up agreement unless each director and executive officer of the Company and each other Company stockholder with a beneficial ownership of or right to acquire at least one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock that obtains registration rights from the Company following the date of this Agreement, shall be bound by the same lock-up restrictions and (y) any waivers or modifications of such restrictions shall be granted to all such persons on a consistent basis.  The

underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4(e) and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.

 

5.            Obligations of the Company.  Subject to Section 2(b) hereof, the Company shall:

 

(a)           notify Stockholder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such Registration Statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed;

 

(b)           after the Registration Statement becomes effective, notify Stockholder of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such Registration Statement or the prospectus used in connection therewith;

 

(c)           prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be reasonably necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Stock covered by the Registration Statement for the period required to effect the distribution of the Registrable Stock;

 

(d)           make available to Stockholder such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as Stockholder may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Stock;

(f)            use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Stock to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

(g)           provide a transfer agent and registrar for the Registrable Stock and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Stock, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement;

accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters;

 

(i)            cooperate with Stockholder and the managing underwriter (if any) to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (which shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required under applicable law) representing securities sold under the Registration Statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as Stockholder or the managing underwriter (if any) may request and keep available and make available to the Company’s transfer agent prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement a supply of such certificates;

 

(j)            in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in form and substance as is customarily given by Company to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;

 

(k)           upon execution of confidentiality agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, promptly make available for inspection by any underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to the Registration Statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of Company (collectively, “Records”), and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such Registration Statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith; provided, Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and that it notifies any underwriter are confidential shall not be disclosed by the underwriter unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement or (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or is otherwise required by Applicable Law.  Stockholder agrees that information obtained by the underwriters as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by the underwriters or its Affiliates as the basis for any market transactions in the Company’s securities unless and until such information is made generally available to the public, and further agrees that, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall give notice to the Company and allow the Company to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;

 

(l)            use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus, and in the event of the issuance of any such stop order or any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain promptly the withdrawal of such order;

 

(m)          immediately notify Stockholder at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event

as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and at the request of Stockholder promptly prepare and make available to Stockholder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus, or a revised prospectus, as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made (following receipt of any supplement or amendment to any prospectus, Stockholder shall deliver such amended, supplemental or revised prospectus in connection with any offers or sales of Registrable Stock, and shall not deliver or use any prospectus not so supplemented, amended or revised);

 

(n)           provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Stock covered by the applicable Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

(p)           take all such other actions as are reasonably necessary in order to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Stock.

 

6.             Furnish Information.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement that Stockholder shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Stockholder and the intended method of disposition of its Registrable Stock as the Company may reasonably request or as may be required by law or regulations for use in connection with any registration statement under which Stockholder is registering Registrable Stock. The Company may require Stockholder, by written notice given to Stockholder not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the filing date of the registration statement, to promptly, and in any event within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such notice, furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding the distribution of the Registrable Stock as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration.

 

7.             Expenses.  All expenses incurred in connection with the registration pursuant to this Agreement, excluding underwriting fees and brokers’ discounts and commissions, but including without limitation all registration, filing and qualification fees, word processing, duplicating, printers’ and accounting fees, listing fees, messenger and delivery expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.  Stockholder shall bear the fees and expenses of any counsel representing Stockholder in such registration, and the discounts, brokerage fees and underwriting fees, if any, applicable to securities offered for its account in connection with any registrations.

 

10



 

8.             Transfer of Registration Rights.  The registration rights of Stockholder under this Agreement with respect to any Registrable Stock may be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, only to an Affiliate of Tencent provided, however, that (a) Stockholder shall give the Company written notice prior to the time of such transfer stating the name and address of the Affiliate transferee and identifying the securities with respect to which the rights under this Agreement are being transferred; (b) such Affiliate transferee shall agree in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound as Stockholder by the provisions of this Agreement; and (c) immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by such transferee shall be restricted to the extent set forth under Applicable Securities Laws.

 

9.             Indemnification.  In the event any Registrable Stock is included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

(a)           The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Stockholder, its officers, directors, partners, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, employees and each Person who controls Stockholder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under Applicable Securities Laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus related thereto, any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company of Applicable Securities Laws; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage or liability if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to any Stockholder Indemnified Party for any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission made in connection with the Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any Stockholder Indemnified Party; provided, further, the Company shall not be liable to any underwriter for any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission made in a preliminary prospectus if the final prospectus shall correct such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or such omission or alleged omission, and a copy of the final prospectus has not been sent or given to the relevant person at or prior to the confirmation of sale to such person if such underwriter was under an obligation to deliver such final prospectus and failed to do so; provided, further that the Company shall not be liable to any Stockholder Indemnified Party for any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent that it arises out of or is caused by such Stockholder Indemnified Party’s disposition of Registrable Stock during any period during which such Stockholder Indemnified Party is obligated to discontinue any disposition of Registrable Stock as a result of a Deferral Action or any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or prospectus with respect to Registrable Stock of which such Stockholder Indemnified Party has received

 

11



 

written notice.  The Company’s obligations under this Section 9(a) shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any such Stockholder Indemnified Party, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Stockholder Indemnified Party, and any termination of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Stockholder shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company, each of its directors, officers, employees and stockholders, and each Person who controls the Corporation (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under Applicable Securities Laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus related thereto, or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the indemnifying party of Applicable Securities Laws, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or violation was made in the Registration Statement, preliminary or final prospectus, or amendments or supplements thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of Stockholder expressly for use in connection with such registration; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage or liability if such settlement is effected without the consent of Stockholder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and provided, further, that the liability of Stockholder hereunder by way of indemnification under this Section 9(b) and contribution under Section 9(d) shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by Stockholder from the sale of Registrable Stock covered by such Registration Statement to which such claim or indemnity relates (after giving effect to any discounts and brokerage fees).  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any such Company Indemnified Party, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by Stockholder, and any termination of this Agreement.  Tencent hereby agrees that it shall, and it shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, perform and satisfy any of their obligations and observe any limitations hereunder as stated herein to be applicable to such Person (irrespective of whether a party hereto).  Tencent agrees that the liability for any breach of the representations, warranties, obligations or restrictions hereunder of its controlled Affiliate party hereto shall be the direct and primary obligation of Tencent.

 

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and control the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with all reasonable fees and expenses thereof to be paid by such indemnified party, and to be apprised of all progress in any proceeding the defense of which has been assumed by the indemnifying party.  The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such

 

12



 

indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 9, except to the extent such failure shall have actually prejudiced the indemnifying party, and the omission to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9.

 

(d)           To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by Applicable Law, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.  The Parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The liability of Stockholder hereunder by way of contribution under this Section 9(d) and indemnification under Section 9(b) shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Stockholder Indemnified Party from the sale of Registrable Stock covered by the Registration Statement.

 

10.                               General Provisions.

 

(a)           Power and Authority.  Each Party hereby represents that it has the power and authority (corporate power and corporate authority, if applicable) to execute and deliver this Agreement and that this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — April 29, 2015 — Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU), a leading global developer and publisher of free-to-play games for smartphone and tablet devices, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

 

“Glu delivered a strong start to 2015 evidenced by our ability to exceed expectations across all key metrics, particularly non-GAAP revenue which increased 33%,” stated Niccolo de Masi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Glu.  “The outperformance during the first quarter was driven by the ongoing traction of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, Racing Rivals, Deer Hunter 2014, and Contract Killer: Sniper.”

 

“We are excited to have struck an exclusive partnership with Grammy Award winner Britney Spears for up to eight years,” de Masi announced.  “Britney is a unique talent having sold over 100 million albums worldwide, been recognized with numerous industry accolades including, six MTV Video Music Awards, seven MTV Europe Music Awards, an American Music Award, nine Billboard Music Awards, five Teen Choice Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  Our Britney game will launch in H1 2016.”

 

Mr. de Masi continued, “I am delighted to announce today a strategic relationship with Tencent — arguably Asia’s largest internet company and the world’s largest gaming company.  We look forward to working with Tencent to drive operating synergies in China and the West for Glu.  Their investment in Glu at a premium to the current prevailing share price I view as recognition of our operating momentum and unique portfolio approach.”

 

Mr. de Masi concluded, “Our confidence in the increased 2015 guidance is driven by the strong lineup of titles including Terminator, Cooking Dash, Deer Hunter 2016, James Bond: 007 and Katy Perry.  Glu benefits from the combination of our diversified portfolio along with improving annuity characteristics in our franchises.  We are well positioned to maintain and grow momentum in H2 2015 and beyond.”

Disclosure Using Social Media Channels

 

Glu currently announces material information to its investors using SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. Glu uses these channels as well as social media channels to announce information about the company, games, employees and other issues. Given SEC guidance regarding the use of social media channels to announce material information to investors, Glu is notifying investors, the media, its players and others interested in the company that in the future, it might choose to communicate material information via social media channels or, it is possible that information it discloses through social media channels may be deemed to be material. Therefore, Glu encourages investors, the media, players and others interested in Glu to review the information posted on the company forum (http://ggnbb.glu.com/forum.php) and the company Facebook site (https://www.facebook.com/glumobile), the company twitter account (https://twitter.com/glumobile) and Mr. de Masi’s twitter account (https://twitter.com/niccolodemasi). Investors, the media, players or other interested parties can subscribe to the company blog and twitter feed and Mr. de Masi’s twitter feed at the addresses listed above. Any updates to the list of social media channels Glu will use to announce material information will be posted on the Investor Relations page of the company’s website at www.glu.com/investors.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement Glu’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial data presented in accordance with GAAP, Glu uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Glu’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Glu include historical and estimated non-GAAP revenues, non-GAAP smartphone revenues, non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items from Glu’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations:

 

·                  Change in deferred revenues and deferred cost of revenues;

·                  Amortization of intangible assets;

·                  Non-cash warrant expense;

·                  Stock-based compensation expense;

 



 

·                  Restructuring charges;

·                  Change in fair value of Blammo earnout;

·                  Transitional costs;

·                  Release of tax liabilities and valuation allowance; and

·                  Foreign currency exchange gains and losses primarily related to the revaluation of assets and liabilities.

 

In addition, Glu has included in this release “Adjusted EBITDA” figures which are used to evaluate Glu’s operating performance.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as non-GAAP operating income/(loss) excluding depreciation.  Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by non-GAAP revenue.

 

Glu may consider whether significant non-recurring items that arise in the future should also be excluded in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses.

 

Glu believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Glu’s performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of Glu’s core business, operating results or future outlook. Glu’s management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Glu’s operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of Glu’s performance to prior periods.

 

Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This news release contains forward-looking statements, including those regarding our “Business Outlook as of April 29, 2015” (“Second Quarter Expectations — Quarter Ending June 30, 2015” and “2015 Expectations — Full Year Ending December 31, 2015”), and the statements regarding the ongoing traction of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, Racing Rivals, Deer Hunter 2014, and Contract Killer: Sniper; the potential for Glu to drive operating synergies in China and the West through working with Tencent; the benefits we may realize through the combination of our diversified portfolio along with improving annuity characteristics in our franchises; being well positioned to maintain and grow momentum in H2 2015 and beyond; our pro-forma cash balance as of March 31, 2015 will be approximately $190 million once we complete the Tencent investment and our enhanced balance sheet affording us the financial flexibility to execute on our long-term strategy. These forward-looking statements are subject to material risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Investors should consider important risk factors, which include: the risks identified under “Business Outlook as of April 29, 2015”; the risk that Glu and Tencent do not receive antitrust clearance for the second tranche of the investment or that any such clearance is substantially delayed; the risk that Glu does not realize the anticipated strategic benefits from its strategic relationship with Tencent; the risk that consumer demand for smartphones, tablets and next-generation platforms does not grow as significantly as we anticipate or that we will be unable to capitalize on any such growth; the risk that we do not realize a sufficient return on our investment with respect to our efforts to develop free-to-play games for smartphones, tablets and next-generation platforms, the risk that we will not be able to maintain our good relationships with Apple and Google; the risk that our development expenses for games for

 



 

smartphones, tablets and next-generation platforms are greater than we anticipate; the risk that complying with Apple’s requirement that our games support 64-bit development will negatively impact revenues and increase expenses; the risk that our recently and newly launched games are less popular than anticipated or decline in popularity and monetization rate more quickly than we anticipate; the risk that our newly released games will be of a quality less than desired by reviewers and consumers; the risk that the mobile games market, particularly with respect to free-to-play gaming, is smaller than anticipated; the risk that we may lose a key intellectual property license; the risk that we are unable to recruit and retain qualified personnel for developing and maintaining the games in our product pipeline resulting in reduced monetization of a game, product launch delays or games being eliminated from our pipeline altogether and other risks detailed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2015 and our other SEC filings.

In addition to the reasons stated above, which are generally applicable to each of the items Glu excludes from its non-GAAP financial measures, Glu believes it is appropriate to exclude certain items for the following reasons:

 

Change in Deferred Revenues and Deferred Cost of Revenues. At the date we sell certain premium games and micro-transactions, Glu has an obligation to provide additional services and incremental unspecified digital content in the future without an additional fee. In these cases, we recognize the revenues and any associated cost of revenues, including platform commissions and royalties, on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the paying user. Internally, Glu’s management excludes the impact of the changes in deferred revenue and deferred cost of revenues related to its premium and free-to-play games in its non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating the company’s operating performance, when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, and when assessing the performance of its management team. Glu believes that excluding the impact of the changes in deferred revenues and deferred cost of revenues from its operating results is important to facilitate comparisons to prior periods and to understand Glu’s operations.

 

Amortization of Intangible Assets. When analyzing the operating performance of an acquired entity, Glu’s management focuses on the total return provided by the investment (i.e., operating profit generated from the acquired entity as compared to the purchase price paid) without taking into consideration any allocations made for accounting purposes. Because the purchase price for an acquisition necessarily reflects the accounting value assigned to intangible assets (including acquired in-process technology and goodwill), when analyzing the operating performance of an acquisition in subsequent periods, Glu’s management excludes the GAAP impact of acquired intangible assets to its financial results. Glu believes that such an approach is useful in understanding the long-term return provided by an acquisition and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the accounting expense associated with acquired intangible assets.

 



 

Non-cash Warrant Expense. In the third and fourth quarters of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015, Glu recorded a non-cash charge related to the vesting of warrants to purchase shares of common stock issued to brand holders as part of third party licensing, development and publishing arrangements. These charges were computed using the Black-Scholes valuation model and were recorded in cost of revenues. When evaluating the performance of its consolidated results, Glu does not consider non-cash warrant expense as it places a greater emphasis on overall stockholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with the vesting of any warrants. As the non-cash warrant expense impacts comparability from period to period Glu believes that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these charges.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. The Company applies the fair value provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments. Included in the stock compensation expense was the contingent consideration that was subsequently issued to the Blammo employees who were former shareholders of Blammo, which was recorded as research and development expense over the term of the earn-out periods, since these employees were primarily employed in product development. Glu re-measured the fair value of the contingent consideration each reporting period and only recorded a compensation expense for the portion of the earn-out target which was achieved. When evaluating the performance of its consolidated results, Glu does not consider stock-based compensation charges. Likewise, Glu’s management team excludes stock-based compensation expense from its short and long-term operating plans. In contrast, Glu’s management team is held accountable for cash-based compensation and such amounts are included in its operating plans. Further, when considering the impact of equity award grants, Glu places a greater emphasis on overall stockholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such grants. Glu believes it is useful to provide a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes stock-based compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of its business.

 

Restructuring Charges. Glu undertook restructuring activities in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2014 and recorded cash restructuring charges due to the termination of certain employees in its China, Europe and U.S. offices. Glu recorded the severance costs as an operating expense when it communicated the benefit arrangement to the employee and no significant future services, other than a minimum retention period, were required of the employee to earn the termination benefits. Glu believes that these restructuring charges do not reflect its ongoing operations and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these charges.

 

Change in Fair Value of Blammo Earnout. As part of the acquisition of Blammo, Glu committed to issue additional consideration in the form of Glu’s common stock to the former, non-employee Blammo shareholders if certain revenue targets were achieved. Glu recorded the estimated contingent consideration liability at acquisition and adjusted the fair value of the liability each reporting period. When analyzing the operating performance of an acquired entity, Glu’s management focuses on the total return provided by the investment (i.e., operating profit generated from the acquired entity as compared to the purchase price paid including the final

 



 

amounts paid for contingent consideration) without taking into consideration any expenses recognized post-acquisition related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration. Because the final purchase price paid for an acquisition necessarily reflects the accounting value assigned to both the consideration, including the contingent consideration, paid and to the intangible assets (including goodwill) acquired, when analyzing the operating performance of an acquisition in subsequent periods, the Company’s management excludes the GAAP impact of any adjustments to the fair value of these acquisition-related balances to its financial results. Glu believes that the fair value adjustments affect comparability from period to period and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these charges.

 

Transitional Costs. GAAP requires expenses to be recognized for various types of events associated with a business acquisition such as legal, accounting and other deal related expenses. Glu has incurred various costs related to the acquisition and integration of PlayFirst and Cie Games into Glu’s operations. Glu recorded these non-recurring acquisition and transitional costs as operating expenses when they were incurred. Glu believes that these acquisition and transitional costs affect comparability from period to period and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these expenses.

 

Release of tax liabilities and valuation allowance. In the third and fourth quarters of 2014 Glu adjusted a portion of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance as a result of the deferred tax liabilities recorded in connection with the Cie Games acquisition. Glu believes that these non-recurring, one-time tax adjustments do not reflect its ongoing operations and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these adjustments.

 

Foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses represent the net gain or loss that Glu has recorded for the impact of currency exchange rate movements on cash and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies related to the revaluation of assets and liabilities. Accordingly, foreign currency exchange gains and losses are generally unpredictable and can cause Glu’s reported results to vary significantly. Due to the unusual magnitude of these gains and losses, and the fact that Glu has not engaged in hedging or taken other actions to reduce the likelihood of incurring a sizeable net gain or loss in future periods, Glu began, with the quarter ended December 31, 2008, to present non-GAAP net loss and net loss per share excluding foreign exchange gains and losses for comparability purposes. Glu believes that these gains and losses do not reflect its ongoing operations and that investors benefit from a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that excludes these items, enabling investors to compare Glu’s core operating results in different periods without this variability. Foreign exchange losses recognized during 2014 and 2015 were as follows (in thousands):

Safe Harbor Statement This presentation contains "forward-looking" statements including: Glu has an expanding global presence, particularly in APAC; we expect to announce additional celebrity partnerships throughout 2015; we expect to have a total reach of approximately 500 million social followers by the end of 2016; the expected next title releases for each of our core franchises and Hollywood partnerships; that we are minimally exposed to increases in advertising rates; Glu is benefitting from strong mobile secular trends in the installed base for smartphones and tablets and the popularity of games among all apps; Glu has multiple growth opportunities through wearables, the quad screen future, mobile ad spending and international expansion; the expected timing for the completion of the second tranche of our Tencent investment; Tencent’s expected ownership and Glu’s expected cash balance once the transaction is completed; the expected use of proceeds from the Tencent investment; that we expect in due course an operating partnership between Glu and Tencent and the expected benefits of such operating partnership; that we have a growing and engaged installed base; Glu’s expected 2015 title roadmap and the expected half of 2015 in which we expect these titles to launch; and our Q2-2015 and full year 2015 guidance. These forward-looking statements are subject to material risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Investors should consider important risk factors, which include: the risk that Glu and Tencent do not receive antitrust clearance for the second tranche of the investment or that any such clearance is substantially delayed; the risk that Glu does not realize the anticipated strategic benefits from its strategic relationship with Tencent; consumer demand for smartphones, tablets and next-generation platforms does not grow as significantly as we anticipate or that we will be unable to capitalize on any such growth; the risk that we do not realize a sufficient return on our investment with respect to our efforts to develop free-to-play games for smartphones and tablets, the risk that we do not maintain our good relationships with Apple and Google; the risk that our development expenses are greater than we anticipate; the risk that complying with Apple’s requirement that our games support 64-bit development will negatively impact revenues and increase expenses; the risk that our recently and newly launched games are less popular than anticipated; the risk that our newly released games will be of a quality less than desired by reviewers and consumers; the risk that the mobile games market, particularly with respect to social, free-to-play gaming, is smaller than anticipated; risks related to the restatement of certain of our historical financial statements and other risks detailed under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2015 and our other SEC filings. You can locate these reports through our website at http://www.glu.com/investors. These "forward-looking" statements are based on estimates and information available to us on April 29, 2015 and we are under no obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter our forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Page 3 Glu uses in this presentation certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with Glu's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Glu include non-GAAP revenues, non-GAAP smartphone revenues, non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income/(loss), non-GAAP net income/(loss) per share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items from Glu's unaudited consolidated statements of operations: Change in deferred revenues and deferred cost of revenues; Amortization of intangible assets; Non-cash warrant expense; Stock-based compensation expense; Restructuring charges; Change in fair value of Blammo earnout; Transitional costs; Release of tax liabilities and valuation allowance; and Foreign currency exchange gains and losses primarily related to the revaluation of assets and liabilities. In addition, Glu has included in this presentation “Adjusted EBITDA” figures which are used to evaluate Glu’s operating performance and is defined as non-GAAP operating income/(loss) excluding depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by non-GAAP revenue. Glu believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Glu's performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of Glu's core business, operating results or future outlook. Glu's management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Glu's operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of Glu's performance to prior periods. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please refer to the tables at the end of this presentation.

Glu Mobile Announces Strategic Relationship with Tencent

 

SAN FRANCISCO — (BUSINESS WIRE)—April 29, 2015 — Glu Mobile Inc. (Glu, NASDAQ: GLUU), a leading global developer and publisher of free-to-play games for smartphone and tablet devices, announced that Tencent Holdings Limited (Tencent, SEHK: 00700) had agreed to purchase 21 million shares of Glu’s common stock at a price of US$6.00 per share for total consideration of US$126 million.

 

The transaction will be completed in two tranches, with Tencent today purchasing 12.5 million shares, and committing to purchase the remaining 8.5 million shares upon the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.  Subject to the foregoing, the parties expect the second tranche to be completed in Q2-2015. Tencent will own approximately 14.6% of the total shares on a fully-diluted and as converted basis immediately after completion of the investment. Glu will have a pro forma cash balance of approximately $190 million, based on Glu’s cash balance as of March 31, 2015, immediately after the completion of the transaction.

 

“I am proud to announce that we have entered into a strategic relationship with arguably Asia’s largest internet company and the world’s largest games company — Tencent. I consider their expertise in gaming to be unrivalled and we are excited to power ahead with the support of a fantastic partner that believes in our strategy and shares our vision,” said Niccolo de Masi, Chairman & CEO of Glu.

 

De Masi continued, “We are delighted to gain a new value-added Board member as part of this partnership. Steven Ma, SVP and Head of Tencent’s Interactive Entertainment Group joins our Board of Directors today. We look forward to collaborating with Tencent to bring more high quality and enjoyable gaming experience to our users.

 

“Tencent was attracted to Glu due to its five-year growth track record, high-quality entrepreneurial management, and unique approach to methodically building a portfolio of success in the shooter, action-RPG, narrative-RPG, time-management, sports and racing genres,” said Steven Ma.

 

Mr. Ma continued, “Collaboration between our companies will enable Glu to tailor its games more powerfully by tapping Tencent’s strength in online, social and MMO capabilities.  I look forward to working with Niccolo and the rest of the Glu Board to take Glu to the next level.”

4.             Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company hereby represents and warrants to Red River that:

 

4.1.         Organization and Standing. The Company and each of its material subsidiaries are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, to the extent applicable, under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.  The Company and each of its material subsidiaries have the corporate or limited liability company power, as applicable, and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties and to conduct its business.  Each of the Company and its material subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing, individually or in the aggregate with any such other failures, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.  The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or equivalent organizational or governing documents.

 

4.2.         Authority; Noncontravention.

 

(a)           The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereunder.  The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).  The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect, if any, of applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.  The Board, by resolutions duly adopted (and not thereafter modified or rescinded) by the vote of the Board has approved and adopted the Transaction Documents and determined that the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.  The adoption of the Transaction Documents and issuance of the Shares does not require the vote or approval of the holders of the Common Stock or the holders of any securities in the Company’s subsidiaries.  The Board has taken all actions necessary to approve for the purposes of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the acquisition by Tencent or its controlled Affiliates (including Red River) of beneficial ownership of greater than fifteen percent (15%) of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

(b)           The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the issuance of the Shares, will not, (i) result in the creation of any encumbrance on any of the material properties or assets of the Company or the Shares, (ii) conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, in each case as

 

5



 

amended to date, (iii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any Material Contract, or (iv) conflict with, or result in any violation of or breach of any statute, rule, regulation, order or other legal requirement of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or properties.

 

(c)           No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority, is required by or with respect to the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder, except for (i) the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K within four (4) Business Days of the Initial Closing Date reporting the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents with the SEC, (ii) the filing of a resale registration statement covering the Shares pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, and (iii) such other consents, authorizations, filings, approvals, notices and registrations which, if not obtained or made, would not be material to the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and would not prevent, materially alter or delay any of the transactions contemplated thereunder.

 

4.3.         Capitalization.  The Company has the capitalization set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the “10-K”), and all other reports filed by the Company pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) since the filing of the 10-K and prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “SEC Filings”).  All of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of pre-emptive rights and were issued in full compliance with applicable legal requirements and all requirements set forth in applicable Material Contracts.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Material Contract” shall mean any contract, instrument or other agreement to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound which is material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, including those that have been filed or were required to have been filed as an exhibit to the SEC Filings (defined below) pursuant to Item 601(b)(4) or Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.  No individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company, association or other entity (“Person”) is entitled to pre-emptive or similar statutory or contractual rights with respect to any securities of the Company.  Except as described in the SEC Filings, there are no outstanding warrants, options, convertible securities or other rights, agreements or arrangements of any character under which the Company is or may be obligated to issue any equity securities of any kind.  Except as described in the SEC Filings and the voting agreements entered into by and between the Company and certain former stockholders of Cie Games, Inc., a form of which was filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 30, 2014, there are no voting agreements, buy-sell agreements, option or right of first purchase agreements or other agreements of any kind among the Company and any of the securityholders of the Company relating to the securities of the Company held by them.  Except as described in the SEC Filings and in this Agreement, no Person has the right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), whether on a demand basis or in connection with the registration of securities of the Company for its own account or for the

 

6

Further, if the Company applies to have its Common Stock or other securities traded on any other principal stock exchange or market, it shall include in such application the Shares and will take such other action as is necessary to cause such Common Stock to be so listed. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on The NASDAQ Global Market and, in accordance, therewith, will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of such market or exchange, as applicable.  Tencent hereby confirms and represents that, as of the date hereof, it and its controlled Affiliates do not beneficially own any shares of the Company’s capital stock.  Upon request, Tencent shall provide the Company with such information regarding Tencent’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock that the Company requires for such listing application.

6.6.                            Securities Law Matters.

 

(a)                                 Restricted Securities.  Red River understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.

 

(b)                                 Legends.  It is understood that, except as provided below, certificates evidencing the Shares may bear the following or any similar legends:

 

(i)                                     “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS.  THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER STATES AND JURISDICTIONS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.  INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME.  THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT.”

 

(ii)                                  “AS LONG AS THE HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES IS AN AFFILIATE OF THE ISSUER, THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OR OFFERED FOR SALE, IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SALE OF THESE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, OR THE SALE OTHERWISE BEING EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT.  THE ISSUER MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

 

(iii)                               “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY), INCLUDING A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT THAT RESTRICTS THE TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES THROUGH ONE YEAR FROM THE INITIAL ISSUANCE

 

14



 

OF THESE SHARES BY THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON HOW THE SHARES MUST BE VOTED.”

 

(c)                                  Removal of Legends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Red River shall be entitled to receive from the Company new certificates for a like number of Shares not bearing such legend upon the request of Red River (i) at such time as such restrictions are no longer applicable, and (ii) with respect to the restriction on transfer of such shares under the Securities Act, delivery of a customary opinion of counsel to Red River, which opinion is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and its counsel, that the restriction referenced in such legend is no longer required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act.

 

6.7.                            Tencent Obligations.  Tencent hereby agrees that it shall, and it shall cause its controlled Affiliates, to perform and satisfy their respective obligations and observe any limitations hereunder as stated herein to be applicable to such Person (irrespective of whether a party hereto).  Tencent agrees that the liability for any breach of the (a) representations and warranties of Red River set forth herein and (b) obligations or restrictions of Tencent and its controlled Affiliates set forth herein, shall, in each case, be a direct and primary obligation of Tencent.

 

7.                                      Termination.

 

7.1.                            Grounds for Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, with respect to each Party’s obligation to complete the Second Closing only, at any time prior to the Second Closing:

 

(a)                                 by the mutual written consent of each Party hereto;

 

(b)                                 by Red River or the Company if the Second Closing shall not have occurred on or before the ninetieth (90th) day following the Initial Closing; provided that such right to terminate this Agreement shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of such Closing to occur on or prior to such date; or;

 

(c)                                  by any Party in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued a judgment or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such judgment or other action shall have become final and non-appealable.

 

The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or 7.1(c) shall give notice of such termination to the other Party hereto specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made.

 

7.2.                            Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination of this Agreement the obligations in this Agreement with respect to the completion of the Second Closing (including pursuant to Section 6.1) shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party with respect thereto except that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from any liability for damages for any breach of this Agreement.  For the

 

15



 

avoidance of doubt, all other rights and obligations of the Parties not solely in respect of the consummation of the Second Closing will survive such termination and continue in accordance with their terms.

 

8.                                      Survival and Indemnification.

 

8.1.                            Survival.  The representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Second Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months, provided, that should this Agreement be terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the occurrence of the Second Closing, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and made in connection with the Initial Closing shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months from the Initial Closing Date.  The covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall survive indefinitely.

 

8.2.                            Indemnification.  Effective at and after the Initial Closing, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Red River, Tencent, their respective controlled Affiliates and each of its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns against and from any and all damage, loss, liability and expense (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), incurred or suffered by such Persons arising out of any misrepresentation or breach of representation or warranty (with the amount of Losses being determined without regard to any qualification or exception contained therein relating to materiality or Material Adverse Effect or any similar qualification or standard) or breach of covenants by the Company under this Agreement; provided that (except for any breaches in respect of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 and except for the obligation of the Company to issue the Shares to Red River under Section 1), (i) the Company shall not be liable under this Section 8.2 unless the aggregate amount of Losses exceeds one percent (1%) of the aggregate Purchase Price then paid by Red River to the Company, in which case the Company shall be liable for all such Losses, and (ii) the Company’s maximum liability under this Section 8.2 shall not exceed the amount of the Purchase Price actually received by the Company.

 

8.3.                            Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim

 

16



 

or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. The Company shall not be liable to any indemnified party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by such indemnified party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, or (ii) for any Losses incurred by such indemnified party which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final judgment which is not subject to further appeal are solely and directly attributable to (A) a breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such indemnified party in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document or (B) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party.

 

9.                                      Miscellaneous.

(b)                                 As a condition to the Tencent Designee’s election or nomination for election and any subsequent nomination for election as a director of the Company, the Tencent Designee shall have executed an agreement in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto agreeing to abide by the obligations and restrictions related to the Tencent Designee hereunder and under the Confidentiality Agreement.  In Tencent Group’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company and in such person’s capacity as a nominee and as a director of the Company, respectively, Tencent and the Tencent Designee shall be required to deliver such questionnaires and otherwise provide such information as is collected by the Company from its directors, principal stockholders and other parties with the right to designate nominees for election as directors, including information reasonably needed by the Company in connection with assessing eligibility, independence and other criteria applicable to directors or required to be or customarily disclosed for directors, candidates for directors, and their affiliates and representatives in a proxy statement or other filings under applicable law or the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), it being understood that, with respect to the obligations of the Tencent Designee, such information requirements shall be applied to the Tencent Designee on a non-discriminatory basis as between the Tencent Designee and other similarly-situated directors of the Company.  Such information requirements shall be applied in good faith by the Company.

 

(c)                                  Tencent agrees that, at all times that a Tencent Designee is serving as a member of the Board or any time it has designated a person to serve as the Tencent Designee, it will inform the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable upon Tencent Group’s net long ownership position having fallen below the Rights Minimum.

 

(d)                                 The Tencent Designee agrees (and Tencent shall cause each Tencent Designee to agree) that, at all times while serving as a member of the Board, as promptly as reasonably practicable and upon the Tencent Designee or Tencent, as applicable, becoming aware of a reporting obligation pursuant to this Section 2.1(d), he or she will inform the Company of any change in information previously provided to the Company that would cause the Tencent Designee to cease to meet director independence standards of NASDAQ.

 

(e)                                  Tencent agrees to cause the resignation as a member of the Board of any Tencent Designee pursuant to this Section 2.1 upon the determination of a majority of members

of the Board of the occurrence of a Rights Termination Event.  For the avoidance of doubt, the designation right provided in this Section 2.1 is non-transferable and shall apply only to Tencent Group.

 

2.2.                            Conflicts of Interest.  If so determined by the Board, the Tencent Designee shall be recused from any discussion, consideration or voting with respect to any matters related to Tencent Group, including with respect to any matters (a) related to any proposed Acquisition of the Company or any proposed Acquisition or strategic investment by the Company in which Tencent Group may, directly or indirectly, be interested, (b) related to commercial transactions or other commercial relationships with, or any strategic investment in the Company by, any significant competitors of Tencent Group or (c) that otherwise presents a conflict of interest for the Tencent Designee, and the Tencent Designee shall not be entitled to receive any materials related to any such matters; provided, that any decision to recuse the Tencent Designee and exclude him or her from materials and discussions shall be applied on a non-discriminatory basis as compared to other similarly-situated directors; provided, further, that the Tencent Designee will be informed of the general subject matter (e.g., that it relates to an inbound strategic investment or to an Acquisition) for which he or she is being recused; it being understood that the Company shall have no obligation to inform the Tencent Designee of the parties, terms or other aspects relating to such matter(s).

 

2.3.                            Voting.  At any meeting of stockholders of the Company at which the Board has submitted a matter to the vote of holders of Common Stock (and with respect to any request by the Board for an action by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting in respect of any matter), which matter has been recommended by a majority of the Board that includes at least 50% of the Board’s non-executive directors (a “Majority Recommendation”) with respect to any of the following matters, Tencent shall vote, or cause the vote of each share of Common Stock held by Tencent Group that its member(s) are entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders of the Company to be (A) present in person or by proxy (such that such shares are included for quorum purposes) at such meeting of stockholders of the Company and (B) affirmatively voted in accordance with such Majority Recommendation (other than with respect to clause (g), irrespective of whether the Tencent Designee has also voted in favor):

 

(a)                                 in favor of the election of all those persons nominated to serve as directors of the Company by the Board or the Nominating and Governance Committee (or any other authorized committee) thereof;

(d)                                 so long as Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (or any successor thereof) has not recommended a vote against such action, proposal or other matter, in favor of any action, proposal or other matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company concerning:

 

5



 

(i)                                     the Company’s executive compensation; and

 

(ii)                                  equity incentive plans, including, but not limited to, adopting new plans, increasing the number of shares reserved under such plans or amending the terms of such plans, or any other executive compensation matters;

(f)                                   in favor of a shareholder rights plan or similar “poison pill” mechanism that would restrict, or trigger rights or obligations in connection with, the accumulation of a specified level of beneficial ownership by a Person or “group” (as defined by Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than Tencent Group, at such specified level or other customary trigger (a “Poison Pill”); it being understood that nothing in this clause (f) shall limit the obligations of the Company in Section 2.6 herein or require any member of the Tencent Group to vote in favor of any Poison Pill that the Company is prohibited from adopting under Section 2.6; and

 

(g)                                  in favor of any matter for which the Board has provided a recommendation to vote in favor and for which the Tencent Designee has also voted in favor,

 

in each case other than clause (f) above, except with respect to any matters related to a Competing Transaction pending at the time of such vote, in which case the provisions of this Section 2.3 will not apply with respect to such matters primarily related to a Competing Transaction.

 

Tencent Group’s voting obligations in this Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 below shall be conditioned upon the Company providing Tencent with written notice (which may be by email to the Tencent Designee from any of the Company’s executive officers, directors or corporate secretary) of each matter that has been submitted to the vote or written consent of holders of Common Stock and which has received a Majority Recommendation.

 

2.4.                            Voting Percentage Limit.  Notwithstanding Section 2.3 above, if at any time when a matter that has received a Majority Recommendation is presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting) and Tencent Group have beneficial ownership of Common Stock in excess of 20% of the Common Stock then outstanding (the “Voting Percentage Limit”), Tencent shall vote, or cause the vote of, such shares of Common Stock that Tencent Group beneficially owns and has the right to vote on such matter and that exceed such Voting Percentage Limit in accordance with such Majority Recommendation.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Tencent will provide the Company with written notice of the maximum amount of Common Stock that Tencent and any of its controlled Affiliates collectively intends to acquire in the following six (6)-month period (but need not state when in such period such securities may be acquired), provided that such notice is provided to the Company at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the commencement of such period.  Tencent agrees to prevent any member of Tencent Group from directly or indirectly acquiring, or entering into any agreement to acquire, beneficial ownership of capital stock of the Company

2.5.                            Compensation.  Each of Tencent and the Tencent Designee acknowledge and agree that the Tencent Designee shall not receive any compensation by the Company for his or her service as a member of the Board.

 

2.6.                            Poison Pill.  The Company shall not adopt a Poison Pill in connection with, any beneficial ownership by Tencent Group of Common Stock not exceeding 25%, in the aggregate, of the Common Stock outstanding; provided, however, that this provision shall terminate upon the termination of Tencent’s obligations with respect to Section 3 herein as set forth in Section 5 below.

 

2.7.                            Required Filings.  Each of Tencent and the Tencent Designee agrees to timely make, and cause any of its respective controlled Affiliates to make, any required filings with respect to its beneficial ownership of the Company’s equity securities under Sections 13(d), 13(g) and 16 of the Exchange Act.

 

3.                                      Standstill Provisions.

 

3.1.                            Standstill.  Unless approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board (for purposes of this provision, the Tencent Designee shall not be deemed “disinterested”), which consent may be withheld in such members’ sole and absolute discretion, neither Tencent nor any of its controlled Affiliates (including through any of their respective executive officers and directors) will in any manner, directly or indirectly, alone or in concert with others:

Designee’s fiduciary duties as a director of the Company and his or her obligations under this Agreement.

 

3.2.                            Permitted Disclosures Upon Mutual Acquisition Agreement.  To the extent that following Negotiated Transaction Discussions, the Company and Tencent enter into a mutually agreed definitive agreement for an Acquisition that contemplates a tender offer by members of Tencent Group, Tencent Group shall be permitted to disclose such information in its filings with the SEC as is required, as reasonably determined by Tencent following consultation with U.S. securities counsel, to conduct such tender offer under applicable federal securities laws in accordance with such mutually agreed definitive agreement (a “Permitted Tender Offer”), in addition to any disclosure permitted under the Confidentiality Agreement.

 

4.                                      Right of First Notification.

 

4.1.                            Waiting Period.  The Company will not enter into any agreement with a third party (other than a confidentiality agreement regarding the provision of information to such third party in connection with a potential Acquisition), in furtherance of an Acquisition of the Company involving such third party, that would preclude the ability of the Company to conduct discussions or negotiations, or reach an agreement with members of Tencent Group regarding an Acquisition of the Company by members of Tencent Group, until (a) five (5) Business Days following delivery of an ROFN Notice, or (b) such earlier time as Tencent notifies the Company that it has determined that it does not desire or intend to negotiate an Acquisition involving the Company (such period, as may be extended pursuant to Section 4.2, the “Waiting Period”).  During the Waiting Period, if requested by Tencent, the Company will negotiate in good faith with Tencent regarding a potential Acquisition involving members of Tencent Group and the Company; provided however, the Company may also engage in negotiations, discussions or sharing of information with any other third party during the Waiting Period.  In connection with any Acquisition of the Company, the Board will follow a process consistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware law, including not precluding the ability of the Board to consider, after signing a definitive agreement for such Acquisition of the Company, a bona fide, written and unsolicited Proposal from Tencent Group or any other third party that may be superior to the terms in such definitive agreement, and to change its recommendation with respect thereto following such consideration, to the extent required by Delaware law.

 

4.2.                            Information.  During the Waiting Period, to the extent reasonably requested by Tencent for purposes of Tencent Group’s consideration of making a Proposal to the Company, the Company will provide Tencent Group with reasonable access during reasonable business hours to books, records, facilities, officers and other information reasonably requested by Tencent Group, and (A) such access shall be no less extensive and no more restrictive than that provided to any other party that has made or is contemplating making a Proposal, and (B) if and to the extent that the Company does not provide such access to Tencent, the time period in Section 4.1(a) above will be tolled for the period of any such delay.

 

4.3.                            Notice Requirement Suspension Period.  Following the expiration of the Waiting Period in accordance with the terms hereof, and provided that the Company has materially complied with this Section 4 with respect to such third party, the Company will have no further obligation to Tencent Group pursuant to this Section 4 for a period of 180 days

commencing the day following the end of the Waiting Period (after which time period the Company shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 4 if the Company does not enter into a definitive agreement that leads to a consummated Acquisition, including via an alternative Proposal during the pendency of such definitive agreement).  If the Company enters into a definitive agreement during such 180-day period and has materially complied with this Section 4, it may thereafter consummate an Acquisition pursuant to such definitive agreement (or the definitive agreement entered into in connection with an alternative Proposal during the pendency of such definitive agreement) without any obligation to Tencent Group.  For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent that the Company receives additional inquiries or written offers within the Waiting Period or such 180-day period, no additional requirement for an ROFN Notice or Waiting Period prior to entry into an arrangement in connection with such additional inquiries offers will be triggered.

 

4.4.                            Confidentiality.  Any notice, including any ROFN Notice, provided to members of Tencent Group or their respective representatives hereunder (including any information provided in accordance with Section 4.2) shall be deemed “Confidential Information” for purposes of the MNDA (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement), and, solely with respect to the information provided in such ROFN Notice or otherwise provided pursuant to this Section 4), the term of such MNDA shall automatically be extended to three (3) years following the date of such ROFN Notice, without any further action of the parties thereto.  Tencent shall cause the Representatives of the Tencent Group to observe, and shall be liable for any breach by such Representatives of, the confidentiality or use restrictions thereunder.

 

5.                                      Termination.

 

(a)                                 Competing Transaction.  The provisions of Section 3 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect upon the occurrence of a Competing Transaction with respect to the Company; provided that if any Competing Transaction has lapsed, is abandoned, terminated or is otherwise no longer pending, the provisions of Section 3 shall thereafter be in full force and effect.

 

(b)                                 Larger Holder.  In the event that another holder of the Company’s Common Stock, together with its Affiliates, acquires more than the Voting Percentage Limit in one or more transactions, the provisions of Section 2.4 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect; provided that if such other holder subsequently publicly announces (including by regulatory filings) that it holds, or the Company certifies (by an executive officer on its behalf) that such other holder holds,  less than the Voting Percentage Limit, the provisions of Section 2.4 shall thereafter be in full force and effect.  In the event that another holder of the Company’s Common Stock, together with its Affiliates, acquires more than the Standstill Percentage Limit in one or more transactions, the provisions of Section 3 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect; provided that if such other holder subsequently publicly announces (including by regulatory filings) that it holds, or the Company certifies (by an executive officer on its behalf) that such other holder holds, less than the Standstill Percentage Limit, the provisions of Section 3 shall thereafter be in full force and effect.

(c)                                  Loss of Tencent Designee Rights.  In the event that no Tencent Designee serves on the Board and a Rights Termination Event has occurred, the provisions of Section 2.3, Section 2.4 and Section 4 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect.  In addition, in the event that no Tencent Designee serves on the Board and Tencent Group no longer has the right to such a designee due to Tencent Group no longer holding the Rights Minimum, the provisions in Section 3 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect.

 

(d)                                 Negotiated Transaction.  To the extent that following Negotiated Transaction Discussions, the Board, including a majority of the disinterested members of the Board (excluding the Tencent Designee), approves one or more transactions as a result of which Tencent Group has obtained economic beneficial ownership equal to at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the provisions in Section 2.3 and 2.4 shall become inoperative and of no further force and effect.

 

(e)                                  Acquisition of the Company.  Unless earlier terminated, upon the consummation of an Acquisition of the Company, the provisions of Section 4 shall become inoperative and of no further force or effect.

 

(f)                                   Eight (8) Years.  Unless earlier terminated, the provisions of Section 2.1(c), Section 2.4, Section 3 and Section 4 shall otherwise terminate on the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Initial Closing Date.

 

6.                                      Governing Law. This agreement shall be governed in all respects, including without limitation validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the state of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and to be performed wholly within such state without giving effect to the choice of law principles of such state.

 

7.                                      Dispute Resolution.  The parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that such damage may not be adequately compensable in monetary damages.  Accordingly, the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement exclusively in the Court of Chancery or other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity, and each party agrees it will not take any action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to another party seeking relief.  Each of the parties hereto agrees to waive any bonding requirement under any applicable law, in the case any other party seeks to enforce the terms by way of equitable relief.  Furthermore, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery or, to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to exercise jurisdiction over the matter, other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery or, to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to exercise jurisdiction over the matter, other federal or state courts of the State of Delaware, and (d) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process by a reputable overnight mail delivery service,
