Item 3.               Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On March 31, 2014, Mr. Xu entered into an agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with Shanda Media Group Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Seller”) under which Seller agreed to sell 1,938,360,784 Shares to Mr. Xu (the “Sale Shares”) subject to the terms of, including the fulfillment of conditions precedent set forth in, the Share Purchase Agreement. The aggregate consideration (the “Purchase Price”) for the Sale Shares shall be determined based on the average closing prices of Ku-6’s ADSs during the seven consecutive business days immediately prior to the closing date under the Share Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”) and the closing price of Ku-6’s ADSs on the Closing Date.

In connection with the purchase of the Sale Shares, Seller shall extend a loan to Mr. Xu for the entire amount of the Purchase Price, which shall be secured by a pledge of the Sale Shares to Seller by Mr. Xu.

On April 3, 2014, Mr. Xu completed the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares from Seller for the Purchase Price of US$47,350,831.05, which was calculated in the manner set forth under the Share Purchase Agreement. Mr. Xu executed and issued the Promissory Note to Seller in the form attached to the Share Purchase Agreement. On the same day, Mr. Xu also executed a share charge in favor of Seller under which Mr. Xu has pledged all of the Sale Shares to Seller as collateral for its obligations under the Promissory Note.

The Share Purchase Agreement, the Promissory Note, and the Share Charge are attached hereto as Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively and are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Item 4.               Purpose of Transaction

Terms of the Share Purchase Agreement

As described in Item 3 above, which is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, Seller agreed to sell, and Mr. Xu agreed to purchase, a total of 1,938,360,784 Shares at the Purchase Price.

 

The Share Purchase Agreement provides that so long as the Promissory Note is outstanding or Seller holds 10% of Ku6’s Shares, Mr. Xu has agreed that upon request of Seller, he will use his best efforts and take necessary actions to change the size of the board of directors to seven members and cause two individuals nominated by Seller (the “Seller Nominees”) to be appointed as directors of Ku6 so far as such Seller Nominees are not prohibited by any applicable law or stock exchange rules to be a public company director, and in furtherance of this agreement, Mr. Xu has agreed to vote all Shares and other securities of the Company beneficially owned by him at any shareholder meeting to elect the Seller Nominees as directors of the Company.

 

The Share Purchase Agreement also provides that so long as the Promissory Note is outstanding or Seller holds 10% of Ku6’s Shares, Mr. Xu will not, amongst others, (i) acquire any Shares or be part of a group that holds more than 50% of the beneficial ownership of Shares of Ku6, (ii) make any acquisition proposal or proposal for an extraordinary transaction involving the Company, or (iii) cause any action to be taken by Ku6 or its subsidiaries with respect to certain fundamental matters, including liquidation, delisting, sale of assets over a certain specified threshold, certain related party transactions or a merger or similar transaction, without the prior written consent of Seller. Mr. Xu has also agreed to cause the Company to file a registration statement to register the Shares and/or ADSs held by Seller upon request of Seller.

 

Mr. Xu has agreed under the Share Purchase Agreement to procure Ku6 to raise at least US$10,000,000 on or prior to October 30, 2014 through equity or debt financing.

 

Following the Closing Date, if any amount is due and payable to Seller under the Promissory Note or the Share Charge and is outstanding, Seller may require (as part of

6
 

their enforcement) Mr. Xu to transfer all of the Sale Shares to Seller at a price equal to the lower of (x) the Purchase Price and (y) the then market value of the Sale Shares calculated in the manner set forth under the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

In addition, Seller has agreed that if Ku6 proposes to acquire Sky Profit Limited, a Cayman Islands company majority-owned by Mr. Xu (“Sky Profit”), and such transaction is recommended to the shareholders for approval by the board of directors of Ku6 and any special committee of disinterested directors, Seller shall vote all its Shares in accordance with such recommendation. Seller also has a right under the Share Purchase Agreement to subscribe to equity or equity-linked securities issued by any affiliate of Mr. Xu for an amount up to US$25,000,000 that is equal to, or convertible into, 20% of the outstanding share capital of Sky Profit on a fully diluted basis.

 

The Share Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

 

Completion of the Transactions

On April 3, 2014, Seller completed the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares to Mr. Xu, who executed and delivered the Promissory Note and the Share Charge to Seller. The consideration paid for the transfer of Sale Shares was US$47,350,831.05 which was discharged by issue of the Promissory Note and execution and delivery of the Share Charge (and its annexures) by Mr. Xu to Seller.

The Promissory Note has a maturity period of three years from the Closing Date, and accrues interest following the second anniversary of the Closing Date at LIBOR + 4.5% per annum. The amounts due and payable under the Promissory Note are accelerated upon an event of default under the Promissory Note, which include failure to make payment of principal or interest when due, insolvency of Mr. Xu, or breach of any covenants under the Promissory Note or the covenants under the Share Purchase Agreement incorporated into the Promissory Note.

The Share Charge was executed and delivered by Mr. Xu to secure his obligations under the Promissory Note. Under the terms of the Share Charge, Mr. Xu is not permitted to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Sale Shares which are subject to the Share Charge without the prior written consent of Seller. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Promissory Note, Seller shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights to the Sale Shares, appoint a receiver for the Sale Shares, take possession of the Sale Shares, or sell or transfer the Sale Shares to itself or to any other person.

The Promissory Note is attached hereto as Exhibit B and the Share Charge is attached hereto as Exhibit C. Both are incorporated here by reference.
