Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 23, 2007, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 3,083,945 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $20,000,000. The sale was made pursuant to the terms and conditions of a securities purchase agreement, dated August 23, 2007, with TECO Electric & Machinery Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of electrical components used in our Olevia ™ branded LCD TVs. A copy of the securities purchase agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.68. In connection with the issuance of the common stock, we entered into a registration rights agreement. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we are required to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 covering the resale of the common stock purchased by TECO. We will pay all expenses incurred in connection with the registration, except for underwriting discounts and commissions. A copy of the registration rights agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.69. A copy of the press release announcing the transaction is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The foregoing description of the sale of the shares of our common stock and the registration rights granted in connection therewith is qualified in its entirety by reference to the securities purchase agreement and registration rights agreement, each filed herewith as Exhibits 10.68 and 10.69, respectively.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The disclosure provided in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 with respect to the sale of the common stock. The sale of the common stock was made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In this regard, the securities were sold to a purchaser that made representations to us that (1) the securities were being acquired by the purchaser for investment only and not with view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of the securities, (2) the purchaser had such knowledge, sophistication, and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, and (3) the purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the Securities Act. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the common stock for working capital and general corporate purposes.
