Under the Purchase Agreement, the obligation of Issuer to purchase the Shares is subject to certain conditions, including the Issuer’s successful completion of a rights offering to raise a significant portion of the financing for the transaction (the “Rights Offering”). In addition to the sale of the Shares, the Reporting Persons agreed to (i) refrain from directly or indirectly, purchasing, selling, or offering to purchase or sell any Common Stock, warrants or options to acquire Common Stock, securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or any other right to acquire or sell Common Stock until June 1, 2012, (ii) cause Antonio Arenas and George Lumby to resign as liquidators of Central de Compras Coleccionables, S.L., Issuer’s wholly owned subsidiary, effective within one business day after the Reporting Persons are notified that the Commission has declared the registration statement relating to the Rights Offering effective and (iii) cause Antonio Arenas and George Lumby to resign from the Issuer’s board of directors, effective as of the date of the closing of the Purchase (the “Closing”). The Purchase and the related documentation are described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on March 7, 2012.
On July 4, 2012, the Reporting Persons entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Purchase Agreement with the Issuer, extending the “outside date” from July 15, 2012 to September 15, 2012, after which the Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the parties if certain conditions to closing have not been satisfied, and providing that the Purchase Price would accrue simple interest from July 15, 2012 through the Closing at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum if the Closing did not occur on or prior to July 15, 2012. Amendment No. 1 is described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on July 5, 2012.
On September 14, 2012, the Reporting Persons entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Purchase Agreement with the Issuer extending the “outside date” from September 15, 2012 to September 25, 2012, after which the Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the parties if certain conditions to closing have not been satisfied. Amendment No. 2 is described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on September 17, 2012.
On September 18, 2012, the Reporting Persons entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Purchase Agreement with the Issuer reducing the number of shares of Common Stock that the Issuer would purchase from the Reporting Persons at the Closing to a number that would leave the Reporting Persons collectively owning 9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately following consummation of the Purchase. Amendment No. 3 provides that the Purchase Price will be reduced by $2.50 for each share of Common Stock retained by the Reporting Persons. Under the terms of Amendment No. 3, Antonio Arenas will resign from his position as executive chairman of the Issuer’s board of directors effective upon the Closing, but will continue to serve as a director for so long as the Reporting Persons collectively beneficially own 5% or more of the Common Stock. George Lumby will resign from his position on the Issuer’s board of directors upon Closing. The Issuer has also agreed to use its reasonable commercial efforts to assist the Reporting Persons following the Closing to sell the shares of Common Stock retained by them in an orderly manner that will be non-disruptive to the public market for the common stock and that is intended to facilitate the sale of the retained shares at prices acceptable to the Reporting Persons. Amendment No. 3 is described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on September 18, 2012.
