Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

 

Incorporation

 

fuboTV Inc. (“fuboTV” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in February 2009 under the name York Entertainment, Inc. The Company changed its name to FaceBank Group, Inc. on September 30, 2019. On August 10, 2020, the Company changed its name to fuboTV Inc. and as of May 1, 2020, the Company’s trading symbol was changed to from “FBNK” to “FUBO.”

 

On October 8, 2020, the Company sold 18,300,000 shares of its common stock in a public offering at $10.00 per share generating $170.2 million in proceeds, net of offering costs. On October 22, 2020, the investment bankers exercised their right to purchase an additional 1,406,708 shares of the Company’s common stock at $10.00 per share generating an additional $13.1 million in proceeds, net of offering costs. In connection with this offering, the Company’s common stock was approved for listing on The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “FUBO” and commenced trading on the NYSE on October 8, 2020.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, “fuboTV,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refers to fuboTV and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, and “fuboTV Pre-Merger” refers to fuboTV Inc., a Delaware corporation, prior to the Merger, and “fuboTV Sub” refers to fuboTV Media Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary following the Merger. “FaceBank Pre-Merger” refers to FaceBank Group, Inc. prior to the Merger and its subsidiaries prior to the closing of the Merger.

 

Merger with fuboTV Pre-Merger

 

On April 1, 2020 (the “Effective Time”), fuboTV Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and FaceBank Pre-Merger’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) merged with and into fuboTV Pre-Merger, whereby fuboTV Pre-Merger continued as the surviving corporation and became our wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of March 19, 2020, by and among us, Merger Sub and fuboTV Pre-Merger (the “Merger Agreement” and such transaction, the “Merger”) (See Note 4).

 

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time of the Merger, all of the capital stock of fuboTV Pre-Merger was converted into shares of our newly-created class of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series AA Preferred Stock”) (See Note 16). Each share of Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to 0.8 votes per share and is convertible into two shares of our common stock, only in connection with the sale of such shares on an arms’-length basis either pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. Prior to our uplist to the NYSE, the Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock benefited from certain protective provisions that, for example, required us to obtain the approval of a majority of the shares of outstanding Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, before undertaking certain matters.

 

Prior to the Merger, the Company was, and after the Merger continues to be, in part, a character-based virtual entertainment business and a developer of digital human likeness for celebrities, focused on applications in traditional entertainment, sports entertainment, live events, social networking, mixed reality (AR/VR) and artificial intelligence. As a result of the Merger, fuboTV Pre-Merger, a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news, and entertainment, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

In connection with the Merger, on March 11, 2020, the Company and HLEE Finance S.a.r.l (“HLEE”) entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of March 11, 2020, pursuant to which HLEE provided the Company with a $100.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility was secured by substantially all the assets of the Company. The Credit Facility was terminated on July 8, 2020.

 

On March 19, 2020, the Company, Merger Sub, Evolution AI Corporation (“EAI”) and Pulse Evolution Corporation (“PEC” and collectively with EAI, Merger Sub and the Company, the “Initial Borrower”) and FB Loan Series I, LLC (“FB Loan”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Initial Borrower sold to FB Loan senior secured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $10.1 million (the “Senior Notes”). The Company received proceeds of $7.4 million, net of an original issue discount of $2.7 million. In connection with the FB Loan, the Company, fuboTV Sub and certain of their respective subsidiaries granted a lien on substantially of their assets to secure the obligations under the Senior Notes. See Note 12 for more information about the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

Prior to the Merger, fuboTV Pre-Merger and its subsidiaries were party to a Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2018 (the “AMC Agreement”), with AMC Networks Ventures LLC as lender, administrative agent, and collateral agent (“AMC Networks Ventures”). fuboTV Pre-Merger previously granted AMC Networks Ventures a lien on substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations thereunder. The AMC Agreement survived the Merger and, as of the Effective Time, there was $23.6 million outstanding under the AMC Agreement, net of debt issuance costs. In connection with the Merger, the Company guaranteed the obligations of fuboTV Pre-Merger under the AMC Agreement on an unsecured basis. The liens of AMC Networks Ventures on the assets of fuboTV Pre-Merger are senior to the liens in favor of FB Loan and FaceBank Pre-Merger securing the Senior Notes.

 

Nature of Business after the Merger

 

Prior to the Merger, the Company focused on developing its technology-driven IP in sports, movies, and live performances. Since the acquisition of fuboTV Pre-Merger, we are principally focused on offering consumers a leading live TV streaming platform for sports, news, and entertainment through fuboTV. The Company’s revenues are almost entirely derived from the sale of subscription services and the sale of advertisements in the United States.

 

Our subscription-based streaming services are offered to consumers who can sign-up for accounts through which we provide basic plans with the flexibility for consumers to purchase the best Attachments suited for them. Besides the website, consumers can also sign-up via some TV-connected devices. The fuboTV platform provides a broad suite of unique features and personalization tools such as multi-channel viewing capabilities, favorites lists and a dynamic recommendation engine as well as 4K streaming and Cloud DVR offerings.
