Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Closing of Lomotif Transaction

 

As previously reported by Vinco Ventures, Inc. (“Vinco”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 21, 2021, Vinco, ZVV Media Partners, LLC (“ZVV”) and Zash Global Media and Entertainment Corporation (“Zash”) entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”). Vinco and Zash established ZVV in order to engage in the development and production of consumer facing content and related activities. Vinco and Zash each own 50% of the outstanding membership interests of ZVV.

 

As previously reported by Vinco in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021, on that date, Vinco issued a joint press release with Zash regarding Zash’s entrance into a definitive acquisition agreement with Lomotif Private Limited (“Lomotif”), pursuant to which Zash intended to acquire a majority controlling interest in Lomotif. The definitive acquisition agreement was a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Lomotif SPA”).

 

Zash, Lomotif, the Lomotif selling shareholders identified on the signature page to the Lomotif SPA and ZVV, entered into that certain Deed of Variation and Supplement (the “Deed of Variation”) whereby, among other things, Zash novated all of its rights and obligations under the Lomotif SPA to ZVV and ZVV assumed all of Zash’s rights and obligations under the Lomotif SPA as if ZVV had been a party to the Lomotif SPA in place of Zash.

 

The unwind period applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Lomotif SPA and the Deed of Variation expired on July 25, 2021, resulting, on that date, in the consummation of ZVV’s acquisition of an 80% interest in Lomotif. Although the Deed of Variation was signed on July 19th, it became a material agreement on July 25th upon the consummation of ZVV’s acquisition of an 80% interest in Lomotif.

 

The foregoing provides only brief descriptions of the material terms of the Lomotif SPA and the Deed of Variation, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of the Lomotif SPA and the Deed of Variation filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

 
 

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On July 23, 2021, Vinco entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the purchaser identified on the signature page thereto (the “Purchaser”) whereby Vinco agreed to (i) issue and sell to the Purchaser up to 1,007,194 shares of Vinco’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Purchased Shares”) at a purchase price of $2.78 per share and (ii) issue warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,007,194 shares of Vinco’s Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) with an exercise price of $2.78 per share, resulting in an aggregate of $2,800,000 of Purchased Shares and Warrants. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and have a term of exercise equal to three (3) years.

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, Vinco and the Purchaser also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 23, 2021, whereby Vinco agree to prepare and file, within 40 days of the closing, with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of all Purchased Shares and Warrant Shares issued and sold to the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. In the event that such registration statement is not filed within 40 days of the closing, or if such registration statement does not become effective within 80 days of its filing, Vinco shall issue an additional 50,360 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an additional 50,360 shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser.

 

The foregoing provides only brief descriptions of the material terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, and such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposal of Assets.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, with regard to ZVV’s acquisition of an 80% interest in Lomotif, is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The applicable information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02. The Purchased Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares were not registered under the Securities Act, but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by Vinco did not involve a “public offering,” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. Vinco did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, the Purchaser had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since the Purchaser agreed to, and received, the securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, Vinco has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
