NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cinedigm Corp. (formerly known as Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp.) was incorporated in Delaware on March 31, 2000 (“Cinedigm”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”).

Over the past decade, the Company has played a significant role in the digital distribution revolution that continues to transform the media landscape. In addition to its pioneering role in transitioning almost 12,000 movie screens from traditional film prints to digital distribution, the Company continues to advance worldwide cinema modernization with its suite of software products allowing exhibitors and distributors to manage their newly digital businesses with efficiency, insight and lower costs. And, as a leading distributor of independent content, the Company collaborates with producers and the exhibition community to market, source, curate and distribute quality content to targeted and profitable audiences through (i) theatrical releases, (ii) existing and emerging digital home entertainment platforms, including iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Xbox, Playstation, and cable video-on-demand ("VOD") and (iii) physical goods, including DVD and Blu-ray.

The Company reports its financial results in four primary segments as follows: (1) the first digital cinema deployment (“Phase I Deployment”), (2) the second digital cinema deployment (“Phase II Deployment”), (3) digital cinema services (“Services”) and (4) media content and entertainment (“Content & Entertainment”).  The Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments are the non-recourse, financing vehicles and administrators for the Company's digital cinema equipment (the “Systems”) installed in movie theatres nationwide.  The Services segment provides services, software and support to the Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment segments as well as directly to exhibitors and other third party customers.  Included in these services are Systems management services for a specified fee via service agreements with Phase I Deployment and Phase II Deployment as well as third party exhibitors as buyers of their own digital cinema equipment; and software license, maintenance and consulting services to Phase I and Phase II Deployment, various other exhibitors, studios and other content organizations.  These services primarily facilitate the conversion from analog to digital cinema and have positioned the Company at what it believes to be the forefront of a rapidly developing industry relating to the distribution and management of digital cinema and other content to theatres and other remote venues worldwide.  The Content & Entertainment segment provides content marketing and distribution services in both theatrical and ancillary home entertainment markets to alternative and independent movie content owners and to theatrical exhibitors.

Purchase of New Video Group

On April 19, 2012, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement for the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of New Video Group, Inc. ("New Video"). Upon concluding the purchase price allocation for the purchase of New Video ("New Video Acquisition") in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, a measurement period adjustment was made to establish a deferred tax liability with a corresponding increase in goodwill at the acquisition date. As a result of this adjustment and the assessment of its consolidated tax filing status, the Company determined it was appropriate to release a portion of its deferred tax valuation allowance established prior to the New Video Acquisition. The release of the deferred tax valuation allowance was recorded outside of acquisition accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance. Accordingly, the previously reported condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2012 has been revised as follows:

Subsequent Events
Gaiam Acquisition
On October 17, 2013, the Company and Cinedigm Entertainment Holdings, LLC ("CEH"), a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Gaiam Americas, Inc. and Gaiam, Inc. (together, “Gaiam”) for the purchase by CEH of Gaiam's division that maintains exclusive distribution rights agreements with large independent studios/content providers, and distributes entertainment content through home video, digital and television distribution channels (the “Gaiam Acquisition”). The Company agreed to an aggregate purchase price of $51,500, subject to a working capital adjustment, with (i) $47,500 payable in cash and 666,978 shares of Class A Common Stock valued at $1,000, subject to certain transfer restrictions, in each case upon the closing of the Gaiam Acquisition, and (ii) $3,000 payable in cash on a deferred basis. The Gaiam Acquisition was consummated on October 21, 2013. Gaiam will become part of the Company's Content & Entertainment segment.
Credit Facility
On October 17, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “CEH Credit Agreement”) with Société Générale, New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders party thereto and certain other secured parties (the “Collateral Agent”). Under the CEH Credit Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Company may borrow an aggregate principal amount of $55,000, including term loans of $25,000 (the “CEH Term Loans”) and revolving loans of $30,000 (the “CEH Revolving Loans”). All of the CEH Term Loans and $15,000 of the CEH Revolving Loans were drawn at closing in connection with funding the Gaiam Acquisition upon the Company’s contribution of such funds to CEH. Each of the CEH Term Loans and the CEH Revolving Loans bear interest at the base rate plus 3.0% or the eurodollar rate plus 4.0%. Base rate, per annum, is equal to the highest of (a) the rate quoted by the Wall Street Journal as the “base rate on corporate loans by at least 75% of the nation’s largest banks,” (b) 0.50% plus the federal funds rate, and (c) the eurodollar rate plus 1.0%. All collections and revenues of CEH will be deposited into a special blocked account, from which amounts are paid out on a monthly basis to pay certain operating expenses and principal, interest, fees, costs and expenses relating to the CEH Credit Agreement according to certain designated priorities. On a quarterly basis, if funds remain after the payment of all such amounts, a portion of such funds will be applied to prepay the CEH Term Loans. The CEH Term Loans and CEH Revolving Loans mature and must be paid in full by October 21, 2016. In addition, the Company may prepay the CEH Term Loans and CEH Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, subject to paying certain breakage costs, as applicable.
Shelf Offering
On October 17, 2013, the Company conducted an underwritten public offering resulting in the sale by the Company of an aggregate of 9,089,990 shares of Class A Common Stock on October 21, 2013 and October 23, 2013 with net proceeds to the Company of approximately $12,049.
Securities Purchase Agreements
On October 17, 2013 and October 21, 2013, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors party thereto (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000 (the “2013 Notes”) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “2013 Warrants”). The sales were consummated on October 21, 2013. The proceeds of the sales of the 2013 Notes and 2013 Warrants were used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including to finance, in part, the Gaiam Acquisition.
The principal amount outstanding under the 2013 Notes is due on October 21, 2018. The 2013 Notes bear interest at 9.0% per annum, payable in quarterly installments over the term of the 2013 Notes. The 2013 Notes entitle the Company to redeem the 2013 Notes any time on or after October 21, 2015, subject to certain premiums.
The 2013 Warrants will be exercisable through October 21, 2018 at an exercise price per share of $1.85. The 2013 Warrants and 2013 Notes are subject to certain transfer restrictions. The Company has agreed to register the resale of the shares exercisable under the 2013 Warrants.
