ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 5, 2013, MusclePharm Corporation (the “Registrant”) issued a press release announcing that it completed the final closing in connection with the offering of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). The net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $10.8 million after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liability under that section, and it shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing. By filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information pursuant to Item 7.01, the Registrant makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
On February 4, 2013, the Registrant entered into separate subscription agreements with certain investors (the “Investors”) in connection with the final closing of the Offering, pursuant to which the Registrant sold an aggregate of 988,375 shares of Preferred Stock to the Investors for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7.9 million, before deducting fees to GVC Capital LLC (the “Placement Agent”) pursuant to the placement agency agreement dated January 16, 2013 (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), between the Registrant and the Placement Agent; and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Registrant, of approximately $200,000. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on January 11, 2013 (the “Certificate of Designation”), each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of common stock, subject to adjustment.
The Registrant intends to use the proceeds from the Offering in the following order of priority: (i) $1.0 million for repayment of the bridge loan which was used for working capital (ii) $3.5 million for repayment of outstanding debt, (iii) to pay interest of approximately $0.1 million, (iv) $2.1 million for expected accounts payable; and (v) and the remainder for general corporate purposes.
The shares of Preferred Stock offered pursuant to the Offering and the underlying shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock were registered under a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-184625), which the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared effective on January 16, 2013.
The Registrant has also agreed to indemnify the Investors against certain losses resulting from its breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants under agreements with the Investors.
A copy of the opinion of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares and common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. A copy of the specimen of certificate of the Preferred Stock is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto The disclosure contained in this Item 8.01 does not purport to be a complete description of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, and is qualified in its entirety in each case by reference to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 1.1, 3.1 and 10.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
