Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (“HMNY”) on August 15, 2017, HMNY and MoviePass Inc. (“MoviePass”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “MoviePass SPA”), pursuant to which HMNY agreed to purchase a majority stake in MoviePass for an aggregate purchase price of up to $27,000,000 (the “MoviePass Transaction”).
As of the date of this Current Report, the MoviePass theater subscription service has surpassed 150,000 subscribers, achieving the subscriber milestone that MoviePass had 15 months to achieve under the MoviePass SPA following the closing of the MoviePass Transaction.
Accordingly, HMNY expects that it will become obligated to issue the Helios Milestone Shares (as defined in the MoviePass SPA) upon the closing of the MoviePass Transaction, equal to 666,667 unregistered shares of HMNY’s common stock. This is in addition to the $25,000,000 base consideration to be paid by HMNY for a majority stake in MoviePass, subject to and in accordance with the conditions set forth in the MoviePass SPA.
Important Additional Information
This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval. This communication relates to the MoviePass Transaction, which will become the subject of a proxy statement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by HMNY, and may be deemed to be solicitation material in respect of the MoviePass Transaction. This document is not a substitute for the proxystatement that HMNY will file with the SEC or any other documents that HMNY may file with the SEC or transmit to stockholders in connection with the MoviePass Transaction. Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders are urged to read the proxy statement and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the MoviePass Transaction as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction and related matters. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by HMNY through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.
In addition, investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement, once it is filed, from HMNY by accessing HMNY’s website at www.hmny.com or upon written request to: Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc., Attn: Secretary, Empire State Building, 350 Fifth Avenue, Suite 7520, New York, New York 10118, (212) 979-8228.
