ITEM 1.

Security and Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends and restates the Schedule 13D filed on June 3, 2013. The title and class of securities to which this statement on Schedule 13D, as amended and restated (this “Statement”), relates is the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of ChyronHego Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Issuer”).

(f) Maxflyt is a Swedish corporation.  Mr. Kjellin is a citizen of Sweden.

 

 

ITEM 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The 2,412,203 shares of Common Stock held by Maxflyt that are reported on this Statement were acquired pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Issuer, Chyron Holdings, Inc., Chyron AB, Hego AB (“Hego”), Westhill Group AB as the stockholder representative of the Hego stockholders, and the stockholders of Hego, pursuant to which Chyron AB, the Issuer’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hego (the “Hego Transaction”). In the Hego Transaction, the Reporting Persons sold an aggregate of 212 shares of Hego capital stock to the Issuer in exchange for the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock held by Maxflyt identified in this Statement. Maxflyt acquired 1,657,871 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Hego Transaction on May 22, 2013, acquired an additional 815,372 shares of Common Stock for no additional consideration on March 27, 2013 and November 6, 2014 pursuant to an “earn-out” provision in the Stock Purchase Agreement, and assigned 61,040 shares of Common Stock to Stella Capital Advisors (“Stella”) as compensation for Stella’s services to Hego in connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

As Chief Technology Officer of the Issuer, Mr. Kjellin acquired 9,508 shares of Common Stock as partial payment of a bonus earned under the Issuer’s 2013 Management Incentive Compensation Plan on March 5, 2014.

 

 

ITEM 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

On November 17, 2014, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Vector CH Holdings (Cayman), L.P., a newly formed Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Parent”), and CH Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”), providing for the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Subsidiary with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Subsidiary are controlled affiliates of Vector Capital Management, L.P. (the “Sponsor”).

 

 
 

 

 

CUSIP No.         171607104

 Schedule 13D

Page 5 of 8

 

 

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by Parent, Merger Subsidiary, any other subsidiary of Parent or any subsidiary of the Issuer) will be converted into the right to receive $2.82 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), other than an aggregate of 8,258,706 shares, representing up to 50% of the shares held (excluding stock options and shares issuable upon exercise of stock options) by Johan Apel, Westhill Group AB, Stefan Fjellsten, Mr. Kjellin, Maxflyt, and certain former shareholders of companies previously acquired by the Issuer (the “Rollover Holders”), which will be exchanged for approximately 31% of the equity interests of Parent. The Rollover Holders have each executed and delivered Rollover Agreements dated November 17, 2014 (the “Rollover Agreements”) to Parent. Pursuant to their Rollover Agreement, Mr. Kjellin and Maxflyt have agreed to exchange 1,210,855 shares of Common Stock for approximately 4.5% of the equity interests of Parent.

 

As a condition and inducement to the willingness of the Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary to enter into the Merger Agreement, the directors, executive officers and certain shareholders of the Issuer, including Mr. Kjellin and Maxflyt, have entered into a Voting Agreement dated November 17, 2014 (the “Voting Agreement”). Under the Voting Agreement, the signatories have agreed to vote shares owned by them in favor of the Merger, against any transaction or proposal that would result in a breach of the Merger Agreement or could result in the conditions under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, and in favor of any other matter necessary to consummate the Merger. In addition, each signatory appointed Purchaser as its irrevocable proxy to vote, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer, and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of the Issuer, their shares of Common Stock for the matters expressly provided for in the Voting Agreement. Each signatory also agreed not to dispose of any of his or her shares of the Issuer’s common stock, other than to immediate family members or for estate planning purposes, and not to solicit or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any unsolicited proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (defined below), other than activities in such person’s capacity as a director or executive officer of the Issuer as permitted by Section 6.03 of the Merger Agreement. A “Superior Proposal” means a bona-fide, written Acquisition Proposal (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) on terms that the Special Committee determines in good faith by a majority vote, after considering the advice of a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, are more favorable from a financial point of view to all the Issuer’s shareholders (other than the Rollover Holders) than as provided under the Merger Agreement (taking into account any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 6.03(g) of the Merger Agreement), which the Special Committee determines is reasonably likely to be consummated without undue delay relative to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and for which financing, if a cash transaction (whether in whole or in part), is then fully committed or reasonably determined to be available by the Special Committee.

 

Following the Merger, Mr. Kjellin will continue to serve as the Chief Technology Officer of the Issuer.

 

References to, and descriptions of, the Merger, the Merger Agreement, the Rollover Agreements and Voting Agreement throughout this statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text, respectively, of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 17, 2014 (the “Form 8-K”), the Rollover Agreements, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K, and the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Form 8-K.

 

 

ITEM 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) The following table sets forth the aggregate number and percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person named in Item 2 of this Statement. The percentage is based on an aggregate of 40,263,343 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 17, 2014, based on information provided by the Issuer. The aggregate number and percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

As a result of the matters described in Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group”, within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, with Purchaser and Vector Capital. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim being such a group with Purchaser and Vector Capital, and neither the filing of this statement nor any of its content will be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of any shares of equity securities owned by Purchaser or Vector Capital or any of their affiliates for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

 

(b) Maxflyt has shared voting and shared dispositive power over 2,412,203 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, and Mr. Kjellin, who is the sole equity owner and director of Maxflyt, may be deemed to share the right to direct the voting and dispositive power over such securities. Mr. Kjellin has sole voting and sole dispositive power over 104,507 shares of Common Stock, which includes options to purchase 94,999 shares of Common Stock exercisable within 60 days of November 17, 2014.

 

(c) On November 6, 2014, Maxflyt received 438,583 shares of Common Stock from the Issuer pursuant an “earn-out” provision in the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Stock Purchase Agreement provided that the shareholders of Hego, including Maxflyt, would receive additional shares of the Issuer’s common stock, for no additional consideration, if Hego achieved certain financial milestones, which have been achieved. Except for the acquisition described in this paragraph, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in shares of Common Stock within the last 60 days.

 

(d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any of the Reporting Persons.

 

(e) Not Applicable.

The closing of the Hego Transaction occurred on May 22, 2013, at which time Hego became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer.
