The net proceeds from the Offering (as defined below) will be used by Intertain to fund the previously announced acquisition of Mandalay Media Limited (the "Acquisition"). For further details on the Acquisition, see Intertain's press release dated June 4, 2014.
Equity Subscription Receipts
Intertain has entered into an agreement to sell, on a bought deal basis, 6,500,000 Equity Subscription Receipts at a price of $7.00 per Equity Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $45.5 million (the "Equity Subscription Receipt Offering"). Each Equity Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon the Acquisition closing, without payment of additional consideration or further action, one equity unit of Intertain (an "Equity Unit") in exchange for each Equity Subscription Receipt. Each Equity Unit will consist of one common share of Intertain ("Common Share") and one quarter of one warrant (each a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share for an exercise price of $7.75 per Common Share for a period of two years following the closing date.
The Equity Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement"). Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the proceeds of the Subscription Receipt Offering, net of 50% of the underwriters' fee payable in connection therewith, will be held in escrow pending delivery of notice of the closing of the Acquisition. If: (i) the Acquisition closing does not occur prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on August 31,
2014; (ii) the Acquisition share purchase agreement ("Share Purchase Agreement") is terminated at an earlier time; or (iii) Intertain advises the subscription receipt agent and Canaccord Genuity Corp., or announces to the public, that it does not intend to proceed with the Acquisition, the subscription receipt agent and Intertain will return to holders of Equity Subscription Receipts an amount per Equity Subscription Receipt equal to the offering price plus a pro rata share of the interest earned on the escrowed funds, net of any applicable withholding taxes.
Equity Linked Debt Subscription Receipts
Intertain has entered into an agreement to sell, on a bought deal basis, 44,500 Equity-Linked Debt Subscription Receipts at a price of $1,000 per Equity-Linked Debt Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $44.5 million (the "Equity-Linked Debt Subscription Receipt Offering", together with the Equity Subscription Receipt Offering, the "Offering"). Each Equity-Linked Debt Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon the Acquisition closing, without payment of additional consideration or further action, one debenture unit of Intertain (an "Equity-Linked Debenture Unit") in exchange for each Equity-Linked Debt Subscription Receipt. Each Equity-Linked Debenture Unit will consist of one $1,000 debenture of Intertain (a "Debenture") and 40 Warrants.
The Debentures will be senior secured obligations of Intertain and will have an interest rate of 8.500% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on the last day of June and December in each year commencing December 31, 2014. The Debentures will have a maturity of June 30, 2019.
The Equity-Linked Debt Subscription Receipts will be issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement. Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the proceeds of the Subscription Receipt Offering, net of 50% of the underwriters' fee payable in connection therewith, will be held in escrow pending delivery of notice of the closing of the Acquisition. If: (i) the Acquisition closing does not occur prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on August 31, 2014; (ii) the Acquisition Share Purchase Agreement is terminated at an earlier time; or (iii) Intertain advises the subscription receipt agent and Canaccord Genuity Corp., or announces to the public, that it does not intend to proceed with the Acquisition, the subscription receipt agent and Intertain will return to holders of Equity-Linked Debt Subscription Receipts an amount per Equity-Linked Debt Subscription Receipt equal to the offering price plus a pro rata share of the interest earned on the escrowed funds, net of any applicable withholding taxes.
