Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
Catuity Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) is a party to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated November 21, 2006 by and among the Company, its subsidiaries, Gottbetter Capital Master, Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (“Gottbetter”) and Bridgepointe Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands Exempted company (“Bridgepointe” and together with Gottbetter, the “Investors”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued secured promissory notes to Gottbetter and Bridgepointe totaling $1,950,000 (the “Notes”). The Company is in default under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and, as a result, the Investors have required the Company to redeem the Notes.
Under applicable law and the Purchase Agreement and the Notes, the Investors have the right, among other things, to conduct a private sale of the Company’s assets in order to generate sufficient proceeds to redeem the Notes. The Investors have notified the Company that they intend to seek to conduct a private sale of the Company’s assets. In order to achieve the best possible value for the Company’s assets and to conduct an orderly liquidation of the Company, the Company has determined not to object to a private sale by the Investors, and accordingly the parties have entered into a liquidation agreement dated August 23, 2007 (the “Liquidation Agreement”). A copy of the Liquidation Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1.
The Investors have entered into a letter of intent to sell all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Loyalty Magic Pty Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in a private sale (the “Letter of Intent”). The Company has agreed to cooperate in this sale. A copy of the Letter of Intent is attached as Exhibit 10.2. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Letter of Intent is subject to the completion of due diligence and the negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement.
Item 8.01 | Other Events |
On August 28, 2007 Catuity received notice from the Australian Securities Exchange (the “ASX”) that the Company’s shares that traded under the symbols CAT and CATN would be delisted under Listing Rule 17.15 for failure to pay its annual listing fee as required under rule 16.5 on August 29, 2007 if payment was not received. The Company did not pay its fee.
