NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

Cinedigm Corp. ("Cinedigm," the "Company," "we," "us," or similar pronouns) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000. We are (i) a leading distributor and aggregator of independent movie, television and other short form content managing a library of distribution rights to thousands of titles and episodes released across digital, physical, theatrical, home and mobile entertainment platforms and (ii) a leading servicer of digital cinema assets for over 12,000 movie screens in both North America and several international countries.

Liquidity

We have incurred net losses historically and have an accumulated deficit of $400.9 million and negative working capital of $56.7 million as of June 30, 2019. We may continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. In addition, we have significant debt-related contractual obligations as of June 30, 2019 and beyond.

The Second Lien Loans (as defined in Note 5 - Notes Payable) were to mature on June 30, 2019. On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into a consent agreement with lenders of the Second Lien Loans to an extension of the Second Lien Loans pursuant to which (i) the Company paid down a portion of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest to date, and (ii) the maturity date of the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Second Lien Loans was extended to September 30, 2019. On July 10, 2019, the Company paid $3.0 million of the outstanding Second Lien Loans and expects to obtain additional capital from or through Bison Capital Holding Limited or an affiliate thereof ("Bison") for final payment of the remaining outstanding balances of the Second Lien Loans. See Note 5 - Notes Payable and Note 10 - Subsequent Events.

The $10.0 million note payable ("2018 Loan") to Bison Global Investment SPC due July 20, 2019 is guaranteed by Bison Entertainment and Media Group ("BEMG"). On July 20, 2018, the Company also entered into a side letter (the “Letter”) with BEMG, where BEMG agreed to guarantee the payment directly to Bison Global of any amount due if (i) the 2018 Loan matures prior to June 28, 2021 or (ii) Bison Global demands payment of the 2018 Loan, in whole or in part, prior to maturity.

On July 12, 2019, the Company and Bison Global Investment SPC for and on behalf of Global Investment SPC-Bison Global No. 1, another affiliate of Bison (“Bison Global”), entered into a termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with respect to the $10.0 million 2018 Loan. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the accrued and unpaid interest on such outstanding principal amount will be paid in cash to Bison Global no later than September 30, 2019. Contemporaneously with the Termination Agreement, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note (“Bison Convertible Note”) with Bison Global for $10.0 million.

The Bison Convertible Note has a term ending on March 4, 2020, and bears interest at 5% per annum. The principal is payable upon maturity, in cash or in shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock” or "Class A common stock"), or a combination of cash and Common Stock, at the Company’s option. The Bison Convertible Note is unsecured and may be prepaid without premium or penalty, and contains customary covenants, representations and warranties. The proceeds of the Bison Convertible Note were used to repay the 2018 Loan.

The Bison Convertible Note, offset by the concurrent payoff and termination of the 2018 Loan, did not result in any increase to the Company’s outstanding debt balance.

On July 9, 2019, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “July Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Bison Entertainment and Media Group (“BEMG”), an affiliate of Bison Capital Holding Company Limited, which, through an affiliate, is the majority holder of our Class A common stock, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to BEMG a total of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “ July SPA Shares”), for an aggregate purchase price in cash of $3.0 million priced at $1.50 per share. The sale of the July SPA Shares was consummated on July 9, 2019. The SPA Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions. The proceeds of the sale of the July SPA Shares sold were used for working capital, including the repayment of Second Lien Loans (as defined in Note 5 - Notes Payable). In addition, the Company has agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement for the resale of the July SPA Shares.

On August 2, 2019, the Company entered into another common stock purchase agreement (the "August Stock Purchase Agreement") with BEMG, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to BEMG a total of 1,900,000 shares of Common Stock (the “August SPA Shares”), for an aggregate purchase price in cash of $2.9 million priced at $1.50 per share. The sale of the August SPA Shares was consummated on August 2, 2019. The August SPA Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions. The proceeds of the sale of the August SPA Shares sold were used for working capital. In addition, the Company has agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement for the resale of the August SPA Shares.

On October 9, 2018, the Company issued a subordinated convertible note (the “Convertible Note”) to MingTai Investment LP (the “Lender”) for $5.0 million. All proceeds from the Convertible Note were used to pay the $5.0 million 2013 Notes described above. See Note 5 - Notes Payable. The Convertible Note bears interest at 8% and matures on October 9, 2019 with two one year extensions at the Company's option.

On July 3, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment (the “EWB Amendment”) to the Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2018, by and between the Company, East West Bank and the Guarantors named therein (the “EWB Credit Agreement”). The EWB Amendment reduced the size of the facility to $18.0 million, required certain prepayments and daily cash sweeps from collections of receivables to be made, changed in certain respects how the borrowing base is calculated, extended the maturity date to June 30, 2020 and excluded Future Today Inc and any of its future subsidiaries (in connection with the previously announced agreement to acquire Future Today Inc) from requirements to become Guarantors. In connection with the EWB Amendment, three of our subsidiaries became Guarantors under the EWB Credit Agreement.

We believe the combination of: (i) our cash and cash equivalent balances at June 30, 2019, (ii) expected cash flows from
operations, and (iii) the support or availability of funding from Bison and its related parties (iv) and the financing transactions that occurred in July and August 2019, will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity and capital requirements for at least one year from August 2019. Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, and we may need to use capital resources and obtain additional capital. Failure to generate additional revenues, obtain additional capital or manage discretionary spending could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
