Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:
On January 17, 2024, Mr. Goodman was issued 125,000 shares of common stock upon the vesting of certain Restricted Stock Units to purchase shares of common stock of the Issuer, the terms of which are discussed in Amendment No. 3.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:
On April 9, 2024, as a required term of, and in connection with, the closing of that certain January 12, 2023 Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into between the Issuer and Aleksandar Milovanović, Zoran Milosevic and Snežana Božović (collectively, the “Sellers”), the Issuer entered into a Nominating and Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) between the Issuer, Anthony Brian Goodman, the Issuer’s Chief Executive Officer and director, Luxor Capital LLC, which is owned and controlled by Mr. Goodman, and each of the Sellers.
Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Sellers and Mr. Goodman agreed for two years following the closing of the Purchase Agreement (i.e., until April 9, 2026) to:
| (1) | vote their voting shares of the Issuer “For” appointment of those director nominees, nominated to the Board of Directors from time to time by the independent Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Committee”) which Committee is required to be composed of two members (one appointed by the members of the Board of Directors not appointed by the Sellers and one appointed by the member(s) of the Board of Directors appointed by the Sellers); and |
|
|
|
| (2) | not vote their shares to remove any directors nominated by the Committee, subject to certain rights to withhold votes for certain persons disqualified from serving as a member of the Board of Directors as described in the Voting Agreement. |
If the Committee becomes deadlocked on a nominee, then the independent Director(s)on the Board have the right to vote, and to collectively break the voting tie (voting by majority, provided that the Board of Directors currently consists of only one other independent member, other than those two independent members on the Committee).
The Voting Agreement also includes restrictions on the ability of the Sellers to transfer shares of the Issuer which they hold, unless such transferees enter into a joinder to the Voting Agreement and includes a provision allowing any member of the Board nominated by the Sellers to share confidential information with the Sellers, but otherwise prohibiting them from sharing such confidential information with any other person.
Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Sellers agreed to not request, encourage, or support any independent directors nominated to the Board of Directors by the Sellers pursuant to the appointment right set forth in the designation of the Issuer’s Series C Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series C Appointment Right”), to remove Mr. Goodman as Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer (or reduce his ultimate authority to manage the Issuer) for a period of two years following the closing of the Purchase Agreement, except as to a removal for cause (as defined in the Voting Agreement), or to the extent that failure to vote to remove Mr. Goodman would violate their fiduciary duties to the Issuer or its shareholders.
The description of the Voting Agreement above is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text thereof incorporated by reference herein.
CUSIP No. 381098300 | Schedule 13D/A | Page 7 of 9 |
