Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Share Exchange and Purchase Agreement

 

On August 15, 2019, Pulse Evolution Group, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Facebank AG, a privately-owned Swiss corporation (the “Facebank AG”), in exchange for 2,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company pursuant to a Share Exchange and Purchase Agreement, dated April 15, 2019 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), between the Company and the sole shareholder of Facebank AG (the “Selling Stockholder”). Facebank AG is a Swiss holding company which owns a 18.6% minority interest in Nexway AG (“Nexway AG”) and has entered into a binding agreement to acquire an aggregate 62.6% majority interest in Nexway AG, no later than August 31, 2019. Nexway AG is a Karlsruhe-based and Germany-listed digital software and solutions company, which provides a subscription-based platform for the monetization of intellectual property, principally for entertainment, games and security software companies, through its proprietary merchant presence in 180 different countries. Facebank AG also owns 100% of StockAccess Holdings SAS (“SAH”), a French joint stock company and investor in the global luxury, entertainment and celebrity focused industries that directly or indirectly holds control investments in multiple other material subsidiaries, including 8+ Holdings LLC and P8H Inc, in the United States, and Highlight Finance Corp., in the British Virgin Islands (“HFC”). The Company purchased Facebank AG, principally to secure a global distribution network for the Company’s digital human applications and entertainment properties, which includes access to Nexway’s existing customer list of 14 million active subscribers, the considerably greater reach of Nexway’s custodial access to its clients’ customer lists, and the ability to conduct business directly in roughly 180 countries.

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to be bound, in all respects as borrower, by the bond obligations of SAH, Nexway SAS (the 100% owned French subsidiary of Nexway AG) and HFC (summarized below). Notwithstanding the current principal repayment requirements and terms of the Bonds, Company agreed to pre-pay at least EUR 9,500,000 of the outstanding principal of the SAH Bond (as defined below) by March 31, 2020.

 

SAH is the borrower under EUR 20,000,000 bond (USD $22,209,0001) (“SAH Bond”) issued and outstanding with 100% ownership interest of SAH pledged under the SAH Bond, and SAH currently being in compliance with all the terms and obligations under the SAH Bond issuance conditions.

 

Nexway SAS is the borrower under EUR 12,000,000 bond (USD $13,325,400) (“Nexway Bond”), of which EUR 7,500,000 is issued and outstanding, with 100% ownership interest of Nexway SAS pledged under the Nexway Bond, and Nexway SAS currently being in compliance with all the terms and obligations under Nexway Bond.

 

HFC is the borrower under EUR 15,000,000 (USD $16,656,750) term bond facility issued and outstanding (“HFC Bond”), HFC is currently being in compliance with all the terms and obligations under the HFC Bond issuance conditions. HFC holds (i) as the secured creditor a $10,000,000 loan facility owed to HFC by SAH subsidiary, P8H Inc., as the borrower, (ii) 998,114 shares of common stock of the Company, and (iii) other assets.

 

As represented by the Selling Stockholder at closing, the cash and securities asset balances (unaudited) of Facebank AG, and its consolidated subsidiaries, were an aggregate EUR 17,826,878 (USD $19,795,857), consisting of EUR 8,585,121 (USD $9,533,348) in cash and EUR 9,241,757 (USD $10,262,509) in bonds and equities.

 

The Company agreed, independently and also as a condition of the Share Exchange Agreement, to change the name of the Company to Facebank Group Inc. The Company also confirmed its intent to submit a listing application to the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The listing application is subject to the review and approval of the NYSE and the satisfaction of all applicable listing and regulatory requirements. While the Company intends to satisfy all of the NYSE’s requirements for initial listing, no assurance can be given that this application will be approved. The Company’s Common Stock will continue to trade on the OTCQB under its current symbol, DGLF, until the listing application is submitted and during the NYSE review process, if any.
