CUSIP No. 47012E106SCHEDULE 13D/APage 5 of 10 Pages

This Amendment No. 8 ("Amendment No. 8") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on June 3, 2015 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 29, 2015 ("Amendment No. 1"), by Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on October 27, 2015 ("Amendment No. 2"), by Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on December 27, 2016 ("Amendment No. 3"), by Amendment No. 4 filed with the SEC on January 27, 2017 ("Amendment No. 4"), by Amendment No. 5 filed with the SEC on November 8, 2017 ("Amendment No. 5") and by Amendment No. 6 filed with the SEC on July 26, 2018 ("Amendment No. 6") and by Amendment No. 7 filed with the SEC on May 16, 2019 ("Amendment No. 7," and the Original Schedule 13D as amended hereby and by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6 and Amendment No. 7, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), of JAKKS Pacific, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 8 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 8 amends Items 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 as set forth below. This is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an "exit filing" for the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
   
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
   
  Funds for the purchase of the Shares by Oasis II Fund reported herein were derived from general working capital and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time.  Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares reported herein.  A total of approximately $5,817,220 was paid to acquire the 1,098,906 Shares reported herein.  

 

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
 
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
 
  On August 7, 2019 (the "Transaction Agreement Date"), the Issuer, certain of the Issuer's affiliates and subsidiaries, certain holders of the Issuer's 4.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes" and, such holders, the "Investor Parties"), and Oasis II Fund in its capacity as holder of $7,250,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes, the Note and the 2018 Exchange Note (collectively, the "Oasis Notes"), entered into a Transaction Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement"), pursuant to which, on August 9, 2018 (the "Closing Date"), the parties thereto consummated certain transactions relating to the restructuring, refinancing and recapitalization of the Issuer (the "Recapitalization").

 

 

CUSIP No. 47012E106SCHEDULE 13D/APage 6 of 10 Pages

 

  The Recapitalization includes, among other things, (i) the amendment and restatement of the existing $21,550,000 aggregate principal amount of the Note and the existing $8,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Exchange Note (together, the "Existing Oasis Notes"), (ii) the cancellation of $7,250,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes held by Oasis II Fund, in each case, for the New Oasis Notes (as defined below) and (iii) the entry by the Oasis II Fund into a Voting Agreement (as defined below) with the Issuer.
   
  In connection with the Recapitalization, on the Closing Date, the Issuer issued to Oasis II Fund (i) amended and restated notes with respect to the $29,550,000 Existing Oasis Notes, and (ii) a new $8,000,000 Convertible Senior Note having the same terms as such amended and restated notes (collectively, the "New Oasis Notes").  Interest on the New Oasis Notes is payable on each May 1 and November 1 until maturity and accrues at an annual rate of (i) 3.25% if paid in cash or 5.00% if paid in stock plus (ii) 2.75% payable in kind. The New Oasis Notes mature 91 days after the amounts outstanding under the First Lien Loan (as defined in the New Oasis Notes) are paid in full, and in no event later than July 3, 2023.
   
  The New Oasis Notes provide, among other things, that the initial conversion price is $1.00.  The Issuer has the discretion to settle the conversion of the New Oasis Notes and to pay accrued interest thereon in stock, in cash and/or in a combination thereof, provided that any payment of interest in stock is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain equity conditions.  Accordingly, the shares underlying the New Oasis Notes are not beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.  The conversion price will be reset on each February 9 and August 9, starting on February 9, 2020, 2020 (each, a "reset date") to a price equal to 105% of the 5-day VWAP preceding the applicable reset date.  Under no circumstances shall the reset result in a conversion price below the greater of (i) the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable reset date and (ii) 30% of the stock price as of the Transaction Agreement Date and will not be greater than the conversion price in effect immediately before such reset.  The Issuer may trigger a mandatory conversion of the New Oasis Notes if the market price exceeds 150% of the conversion price on the Closing Date for 20 consecutive days and certain equity conditions are satisfied.  The Issuer may redeem the New Oasis Notes in cash if a person, entity or group acquires Shares, and as a result owns at least 49% of the Issuer's issued and outstanding Shares.  Oasis II Fund may require repayment of the New Oasis Notes upon the occurrence of certain "Fundamental Changes," as such term is defined in the New Oasis Notes.

 

  In the event approval of the Issuer's stockholders is required to issue shares to Oasis II Fund pursuant to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, the terms of the New Oasis Notes provide that, until such stockholder approval is obtained (which approval the Issuer is obligated to seek on the terms set forth in the Transaction Agreement), limitations in the New Oasis Notes will prevent the Issuer from issuing to Oasis II Fund more than 19.9% of the Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Transaction Agreement Date.  Oasis II Fund may not submit for conversion any part of the New Oasis Notes if the number of Shares issuable upon such conversion of the New Oasis Notes which, when added to all other Shares deemed to be beneficially owned by Oasis II Fund and its affiliates, would result in Oasis II Fund and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Shares.  

 

 

 

CUSIP No. 47012E106SCHEDULE 13D/APage 7 of 10 Pages

 

  In connection with issuing the New Oasis Notes, the Issuer and Oasis II Fund entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the "Amended and Restated Oasis Registration Rights Agreement"), which amends and restates the Registration Rights Agreement and the 2018 Registration Rights Agreement, to reflect the New Oasis Notes and to accommodate the pari passu and pro rata registration rights of the Investor Parties with respect to the 5,853,002 Shares issued to the Investor Parties pursuant to the Transaction Agreement.  Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Oasis Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to provide Oasis II Fund with customary registration rights with respect to any potential Shares the Issuer determines to issue pursuant to the terms of the New Oasis Notes.
   
  Following the consummation of the Recapitalization, Alexander Shoghi will continue to serve as a director and was appointed as a member of the Audit and Compensation  Committee of the Board.

 

  In connection with the Recapitalization, on the Closing Date, the Issuer entered into a voting agreement with Oasis II Fund (the "Voting Agreement").  Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, Oasis II Fund has agreed to, among other things, vote any Shares it owns as of the applicable date of determination, as follows: (i) in favor of a proposal to amend the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") to classify the board of directors of the Issuer (the "Board") into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, with staggered three-year terms, with Class I comprised of two Common Directors (as defined in the Issuer's Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Second Amended and Restated Bylaws") attached as Exhibit 3.2 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 9, 2019 (the "Form 8-K")) (with their terms expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2021), Class II comprised of three Common Directors, two of whom shall be the New Independent Common Directors (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws) (with their terms expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2022), and Class III comprised of two Series A Preferred Directors (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws) (with their terms expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2023), such classification to be effective as of the date of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2020, or if later, the date of the stockholders' meeting at which the Classified Board Proposal is approved (the "Classified Board Proposal"); (ii) to cause the election to the Board of any New Independent Common Director nominee selected by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the "Nominating Committee") in accordance with the Amended and Restated Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter; and (iii) in favor of any proposed Liquidity Event (as defined in the Issuer's Certificate of Designations of the Issuer's Series A Senior Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock") filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Form 8-K (the "Certificate of Designations")) approved by the Board if such Liquidity Event would result in the payment of the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) to the holders of Series A Senior Preferred Stock.  

 

 

 

CUSIP No. 47012E106SCHEDULE 13D/APage 8 of 10 Pages

 

 

In addition, the Voting Agreement contains certain restrictions on Oasis II Fund's ability to enter into voting agreements, trusts and proxies.  The Voting Agreement will terminate on the date upon which no shares of the Issuer's Series A Senior Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

Section 10. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

Section 11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect thereto. No addition to or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be binding upon any party unless made in writing and signed by each of the parties.

Section 12. Assignment; Binding Effect. Except as provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by the Stockholder without the prior written consent of the Company, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation of any of such interests or obligations shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon the Stockholder and the Stockholder’s successors, permitted assigns, heirs, estate, executors, administrators and personal representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on any Person (other than the Company and its successors and assigns) any rights or remedies of any nature.

Section 13. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage may occur and it would be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. The Stockholder agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Stockholder of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages) to seek (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. The Stockholder further agrees that neither the Company nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 13, and the Stockholder irrevocably waives any right the Stockholder may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. Further, the Stockholder waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach.

Section 15. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)       This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof or otherwise. In any action between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, Delaware (or, if the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may have, on the date of this Agreement or at any time hereafter, to the venue of any such proceeding brought in such court.

(b)       EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

(c)       Each party hereby consents to process being served in any such proceeding by the mailing of a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address specified for such party, or in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 17. Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement and shall not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 18. Waiver. No failure on the part of the Company to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of the Company in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. The Company shall not be deemed to have waived any claim available to the Company arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of the Company under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders. The parties agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections” and “Schedules” are intended to refer to Sections and Schedules of this Agreement.

 Section 20. Enforcement. The members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, acting by majority vote, shall have the exclusive right to enforce or waive the provisions of this Agreement on behalf of the Company.
