Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 31, 2021 (the "Effective Date"), Remark Holdings, Inc. ("we", "us" or "our"), together with our wholly owned subsidiary KanKan Limited, entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with China Branding Group Limited ("CBG") and its joint official liquidators to settle the parties' claims against each other in the legal proceeding we filed arising from our acquisition of assets of CBG in September 2016 (the "CBG Litigation"). The parties' claims in the CBG Litigation have been previously described in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, in consideration for a settlement of the parties' claims and a mutual release, we have agreed to (i) release to CBG, within 5 business days following the Effective Date, the $375,000 held in escrow in connection with our acquisition of assets of CBG and (ii) issue to CBG warrants to purchase up to 5,710,000 shares of our common stock at a per share exercise price of $6.00 (the "Warrants"), which warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the Effective Date. Additionally, if the closing price of our common stock is $8.00 or greater for any five days (which may be non-consecutive) in any consecutive 30-day trading period, we have the right to cause the holder of the Warrants to exercise, at our election, all or any portion of the Warrants on a cashless basis at a deemed exercise price of $8.00 per share. We have also agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants within 10 business days of the Effective Date.
The foregoing description of the Settlement Agreement and the Warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the Settlement Agreement and the Warrants, which are filed as
Exhibit 10.1
and
Exhibit 4.1
hereto, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
We incorporate the information set forth in Item 1.01 with respect to the issuance of the Warrants into this Item 3.02 by reference. The offer and sale of such securities is being made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based upon representations made by CBG in the Warrants and related documents.
