Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As reported in a Schedule 13D/A filed on September 26, 2013, Digital Investments LP ("Digital") purchased from Energy Growth AS
4,049,691 shares of common stock of RigNet, Inc. (the "Company") and warrants to purchase 703,309 shares of common stock. Digital is affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
On November 5, 2013, the Company entered into a non-disclosure and standstill agreement with Digital (the "Standstill
Agreement"). The Standstill Agreement provides in pertinent part that through August 26, 2016, neither Digital nor any of its affiliates engaged in the private equity business of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. shall, without the
prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly,
•
make (or encourage or assist any third party in making) any statement or proposal to the Company's board of directors (the "Board"), representatives or any of its stockholders regarding, or make (or
encourage or assist any third party in making) any public announcement, proposal or offer (including any "solicitation" of "proxies" ) with respect to (i) any business combination, merger, tender offer, exchange offer or
similar transaction involving the Company, (ii) any restructuring, recapitalization, liquidation or similar transaction involving the Company, (iii) any acquisition of any of the Company's loans, debt securities, equity securities or
assets, or (iv) any proposal to seek representation on the Board in excess of one board member or otherwise seek to control or influence the management, Board or policies of the Company;
•
take any action which would reasonably be expected to require the Company or any of its affiliates to make a public announcement regarding any of the actions set forth in the preceding bullet point; or
•
acquire by purchase or otherwise, any loans, debt securities, equity securities or assets of the Company, or rights or options to acquire interests in any of the Company's loans, debt securities, equity securities
or assets; provide that Digital may acquire common stock of the Company or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock of the Company so long as after giving effect to such acquisitions Digital shall own no more than its current
holdings in common stock on a fully diluted basis.
On November 5, 2013, the Company entered into a registration rights
agreement with Digital ("New Registration Rights Agreement") with terms and provisions substantially similar to the Company's existing registration rights agreement dated June 20, 2005 with certain of its stockholders (filed as
Exhibit 4.2 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 [File No. 333-169723]). Pursuant to the New Registration Rights Agreement, Digital is entitled to demand, piggyback and Form S-3 registration rights for the securities it
acquired from Energy Growth AS.
The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Standstill Agreement and
the New Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors: Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
On October 31, 2013, the Board unanimously voted to increase the size of its board to ten members and elected Mattia
Caprioli as a director, effective October 31, 2013. Mr. Caprioli is a director of Digital Investments GP, the general partner of Digital.
Mr. Caprioli will not participate in the Company's non-employee director compensation arrangements described on pages 14 through 15
of the Company's 2013 Proxy Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2013, or otherwise be compensated by the Company for his services as a director of the Company. Mr. Caprioli will, however, be
entitled to reimbursement for his reasonable expenses that may be incurred in attending Board and committee meetings, and related activities in connection with his duties as a director of the Company.
Mr. Caprioli was not appointed to a committee of the Board.
A copy of the press release in which his election was announced is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On October 31, 2013, the Board approved an amendment to the Company's bylaws, effective as of such date, to include a new
Section 8.5 of the bylaws regarding forum selection.
The new forum selection bylaw provides that: "Unless the Corporation
consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any
action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation's stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any
provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine."
