Item 5.(c)
|
|
On November 7, 2005, Mr. Paxson, Second Crystal and Paxson
Enterprises, Inc. (collectively, the “Paxson
Stockholders”) and NBC Palm Beach Investment II, Inc.
(“NBC Palm Beach II”) entered into a Call Agreement (the
“Call Agreement”). Pursuant to the Call Agreement, the
Paxson Stockholders granted NBC Palm Beach II (or its
permitted transferee) the right to purchase (the “Call
Right”) 15,455,062 shares of Class A Common Stock and
8,311,639 shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Call
Shares”). Pursuant to the Master Transaction Agreement
among ION, NBC Universal, Inc. (“NBCU”), NBC Palm Beach
Investment I, Inc., NBC Palm Beach II and CIG Media, LLC.
(“CIG Media”), dated as of May 3, 2007 (the “Master
Transaction Agreement”), NBC Palm Beach II transferred the
Call Agreement to CIG Media on May 4, 2007. CIG Media
exercised the Call Right on May 4, 2007. However, pursuant
to the Call Agreement, the obligation of the Paxson
Stockholders to deliver the Call Shares to CIG Media was
conditioned on certain material conditions, including
Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) approval,
which approval shall have become a final order, of the
purchase of the Call Shares by CIG Media and other
conditions contained in the Call Agreement. On December
31, 2007, the FCC released an order, which became
effective on January 2, 2008, approving the transfer of
control of ION from Lowell W. Paxson and Paxson Management
Corporation to CIG Media. However, the FCC order is not a
final order and is subject to reconsideration or judicial
review. If neither reconsideration nor judicial review is
initiated, the FCC order will become a final order 40 days
from the date it became effective. Under the Call
Agreement, the requirement of a final order from the FCC
may be waived, and CIG Media, by closing on the purchase
of the Call Shares, has waived that condition. This
Schedule 13D is being filed by the Paxson Stockholders to
report the exercise of the Call Right by CIG Media as well
as the disposition of shares of Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock in connection with the closing of the
Call Right on January 8, 2008.
The aggregate sale price for the 15,455,062 shares of
Class A Common Stock and the 8,311,639 shares of Class B
Common Stock acquired by CIG Media upon the closing of the
Call Right on January 8, 2008 is
$6,274,140.81. When CIG Media exercised the Call Right on
May 7, 2007, The Bank of New York released to the Paxson
Stockholders the escrow amount of $3,863,765.50, which had
been placed in escrow by NBCU, representing the exercise
price of the Call Right with respect to the 15,455,062
shares of Class A Common Stock. Upon the call closing on
January 8, 2008, CIG Media paid $2,410,375.31 for the
shares of Class B Common Stock.
