Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On March 21, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), Tiger Media Inc. (“Tiger Media”), and TBO Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiger Media (the “Merger Sub”), completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with The Best One, Inc. (“TBO”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of December 14, 2014, by and among Tiger Media, Merger Sub, TBO and Derek Dubner, solely in his capacity as representative of the TBO shareholders.

Reverse Stock Split and Domestication

Before the Domestication and the Merger on March 19, 2015, Tiger Media effected a one-for-five reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”). The principal effect of the Reverse Split was to decrease the number of outstanding shares of each of Tiger Media’s ordinary shares. Except for de minimus adjustments that may have resulted from the treatment of fractional shares (fractional shares following the Reverse Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share), the Reverse Split did not have any dilutive effect on Tiger Media shareholders since each shareholder holds the same percentage of ordinary shares outstanding immediately after the Reverse Split as such shareholder held immediately before the Reverse Split. The relative voting and other rights that accompany the ordinary shares were not affected by the Reverse Split. In addition, the proportion of ordinary shares owned by shareholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance remains the same because the authorized number Tiger Media ordinary shares were decreased in proportion to the Reverse Split. As a result, the number of ordinary shares authorized decreased from 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares to 200,000,000 ordinary shares. The authorized number of preferred shares were not affected by the Reverse Split and remain at 10,000,000 preferred shares.

Also before the Merger, on March 20, 2015, Tiger Media completed its domestication from the Cayman Islands to Delaware, as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”). On March 20, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the Reverse Stock Split (described below) and the Domestication. A copy of the Certificate of Domestication is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the press release is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the Domestication, Tiger Media no longer qualifies as a “foreign private issuer” as that term is defined under the U.S. Federal securities laws. As such, Tiger Media will now file reports as a U.S. domestic reporting company under the U.S. Federal securities laws.

Completion of Merger

Following the Domestication and the Reverse Stock Split, on March 21, 2015, TBO merged into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tiger Media. On March 23, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing completion of the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On the Effective Date, upon the consummation of the Merger:

(1) 4,016,846 shares of TBO common stock, no par value per share (“TBO Common Stock”) converted into 4,016,846 shares of Tiger Media common stock, par value $0.0005 per share (“Company Common Stock”);

(2) 8,000 shares of TBO Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“TBO Series A Preferred Stock”) converted into 4,200,511 shares of Company’s Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Preferred Stock”) at closing and 1,800,220 shares of Company Preferred Stock subject to an earn out;

(3) 1,019,600 shares of TBO Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“TBO Series B Preferred Stock”) converted into 764,791 shares of Company Preferred Stock;

(4) 640,000 shares of TBO Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“TBO Series C Preferred Stock”) converted into 480,057 shares of Company Common Stock; and

 

2


(5) 4,000 shares of TBO Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“TBO Series D Preferred Stock”) converted into 2,100,252 shares of Company Common Stock at closing and 900,108 shares of Company Common Stock subject to an earn out.

Before the Merger, Marlin Capital Investments, LLC, which is managed by Michael Brauser, a founding shareholder of TBO, held RSUs representing the right to receive 2,000,000 shares of TBO common stock. Tiger Media assumed these RSUs upon closing and the RSUs represent the right to receive 2,000,000 shares of Tiger Media Common Stock. The RSUs vest annually beginning October 13, 2015 only if certain performance goals of Tiger Media are met. The shares underlying such RSUs will not be delivered until October 13, 2018, unless there is a change of control of Tiger Media.

In addition, 960,000 RSUs held by TBO employees were assumed by Tiger Media and represent the right to receive 960,000 shares of Tiger Media Common Stock, subject to vesting and delivery.

In addition, 28,000 outstanding TBO warrants were assumed upon closing and are exercisable for 28,000 shares of Tiger Media Common Stock.

Assuming all Earn-out Shares are earned, all RSUs are vested and the underlying shares of common stock are delivered, and the warrant is exercised, up to an aggregate of 17,250,785 shares of Tiger Media Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) were or will be issued in connection with the Merger.

On the Effective Date, certain founding shareholders of TBO entered into lock-up agreements providing that they may not sell or otherwise transfer any shares of Tiger Media or any other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Tiger Media that are beneficially owned and/or acquired by them (or underlying any security acquired by them) as of the date of the Merger Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Merger, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of 12 months after the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the lock-up agreement does not restrict: (a) transfers of shares as a bona fide gift; (b) transfers of shares to any trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the person signing the lock-up agreement or their immediate family; (c) transfers of shares to any beneficiary of the person signing the lock-up agreement pursuant to a will, trust instrument or other testamentary document or applicable laws of descent; (d) transfers of shares to Tiger Media; (e) transfers of shares to any entity directly or indirectly controlled by or under a common control with the person signing the lock-up agreement; provided that, in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), or (e) above, each donee, distributee or transferee shall sign and deliver to Tiger Media, prior to such transfer, a lock-up agreement. A form of the lock-up agreement is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Merger are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in accordance with Section 4(a)(2) of the Act, as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering, and Rule 506 thereunder.

The information set forth in Item 2.01 above in this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Securities Holders

As described in Item 2.01, on March 20, 2015, Tiger Media completed the Domestication. Tiger Media discontinued its existence as a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Tiger Media – Cayman”) under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands and, pursuant to Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), continued its existence under the DGCL as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware (“Tiger Media – Delaware”).

The rights of the holders of the Tiger Media’s stock are now governed by its Delaware Certificate of Incorporation, its Delaware Bylaws and the DGCL. Copies of Tiger Media’s Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and its Delaware Bylaws are filed with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.2 and 3.3, respectively, and each is incorporated herein by reference.

A summary of material changes in the rights of the holders of the Tiger Media’s stock resulting from the Domestication is described in the Tiger Media Proxy Statement for Special Meeting of Ordinary Shareholders which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to Tiger Media’s current report on Form 6-K filed February 13, 2015. The description is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and effective as of the Effective Date, Tiger Media increased its board of directors from five to seven members.

Derek Dubner has over 15 years of experience in the data fusion industry and has served as the Chief Executive Officer of TBO, and its subsidiary, Interactive Data, since October 2014. Prior to TBO, Mr. Dubner served as General Counsel of TransUnion Risk and Alternative Data Solutions, Inc. from December 2013 to June 2014. Mr. Dubner served as General Counsel and Secretary of TLO, LLC, from inception in 2009 through December 2013.

Daniel Brauser has served as a director of uSell.com, Inc. since July 23, 2008 and as Executive Chairman since November 6, 2014. From October 16, 2013 to November 6, 2014, Dan Brauser served as uSell’s Chief Executive Officer. Additionally, Dan Brauser served as uSell’s Chief Executive Officer from July 10, 2012 until October 10, 2012. Prior to being appointed Chief Executive Officer, Dan Brauser served as uSell’s Chief Financial Officer from July 23, 2008 through July 10, 2012. From July 23, 2008 through May 7, 2009, Dan Brauser also served as uSell’s President and Chief Operating Officer. From November 2005 until September 2007, Dan Brauser served as the Senior Vice President of Health Benefits Direct Corporation. Dan Brauser has been a consultant to TBO since September 2014.

On the Effective Date, certain founding shareholders of TBO entered into lock-up agreements providing that they may not sell or otherwise transfer any shares of Tiger Media or any other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Tiger Media that are beneficially owned and/or acquired by them (or underlying any security acquired by them) as of the date of the Merger Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Merger, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of 12 months after the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the lock-up agreement restricts: (a) transfers of shares as a bona fide gift; (b) transfers of shares to any trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the person signing the lock-up agreement or their immediate family; (c) transfers of shares to any beneficiary of the person signing the lock-up agreement pursuant to a will, trust instrument or other testamentary document or applicable laws of descent; (d) transfers of shares to Tiger Media; (e) transfers of shares to any entity directly or indirectly controlled by or under a common control with the person signing the lock-up agreement; provided that, in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (a), (b), (c), or (e) above, each donee, distributee or transferee shall sign and deliver to Tiger Media, prior to such transfer, a lock-up agreement. A copy of the form of lock-up agreement is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Appointment of Officers

In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, on the Effective Date, Derek Dubner was appointed Co-Chief Executive Officer of Tiger Media along with Peter Tan, the Chief Executive Officer of Tiger Media prior to the Effective Date. Mr. Dubner was also appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Data Fusion Division of Tiger Media.

On October 2, 2014, TBO entered into an employment agreement with Derek Dubner (as amended, the “Dubner Employment Agreement”), which has been assumed by Tiger Media as of the Effective Date. Mr. Dubner earns an annual base salary of $200,000.00. Dubner’s Employment Agreement continues through September 30, 2016, unless terminated sooner. If Mr. Dubner’s employment is terminated by Tiger Media without cause as defined in the Dubner Employment Agreement or by Mr. Dubner for good reason, Mr. Dubner is entitled to a severance in the amount equal to his base salary for the remainder of the term. The definition of “good reason” includes a material diminution in his overall responsibilities, a reduction in his compensation without his prior written consent, a request by Tiger Media encouraging Mr. Dubner to participate in an unlawful act, and Tiger Media’s breach of a material term of the Dubner Employment Agreement.

 

4


Under the Dubner Employment Agreement, Mr. Dubner shall receive a bonus of an amount not less than $100,000.00 as a result of the Merger, and is entitled to receive an additional bonus of $150,000.00 upon Tiger Media and/or any subsidiary thereof raising at least $5 million in any financing or series of related financings following the Merger. Additionally, Mr. Dubner received 400,000 RSUs, vesting quarterly during the term of the agreement, and immediately upon a Company Sale, as that term is defined in the Dubner Employment Agreement, of Tiger Media. Following the Merger, Mr. Dubner’s RSUs will represent Mr. Dubner’s right to receive 400,000 shares of Tiger Media Common Stock. A copy of TBO’s Form of Restricted Stock Unit Agreement is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Tiger Media may terminate the Dubner Employment Agreement if there is an adverse ruling against Mr. Dubner pursuant to an action brought on by TransUnion alleging Mr. Dubner’s employment with Tiger Media is a breach of Mr. Dubner’s confidentiality or fiduciary obligations to TransUnion or TLO, provided that Tiger Media pay Mr. Dubner his base salary for the remainder of his term. Tiger Media also agreed to indemnify Mr. Dubner against expenses incurred in connection with such an action. A copy of the Dubner Employment Agreement, and the amendment to the agreement are attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective on the date of the Domestication, Tiger Media filed with the state of Delaware its Certificate of Incorporation as a Delaware corporation and adopted its Bylaws under Delaware law. The rights of Tiger Media’s stockholders, which prior to the Domestication were governed by the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, are now governed by the DGCL. Certain differences between the rights of stockholders of Tiger Media arise from distinctions between Cayman Islands and Delaware law, as well as differences between the charter documents of Tiger Media-Cayman and Tiger Media Delaware. The differences between Cayman Islands and Delaware law discussed in Item 3.03 in this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.

A copy of Tiger Media’s Certificate of Incorporation and its Bylaws are attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.2 and Exhibit 3.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The following is a description of the material terms of the Company Common Stock and the Company Preferred Stock as of the consummation of the Merger.

General

Tiger Media is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Tiger Media’s Certificate of Incorporation provides the board of directors, without further stockholder action, may designate and issue from time to time one or more series of preferred stock and the board of directors may fix and determine the designations, preferences and relative rights, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such series.

Also, before the Merger, Tiger Media filed a Certificate of Designation to authorize the issuance of up to 6,800,000 shares of the Company Preferred Stock. A copy of the Certificate of Designation is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Rights, Preferences and Restrictions of Tiger Media’s Common Stock

Dividends.  Holders of Company Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors of Tiger Media out of funds legally available therefor, subject to the dividend and liquidation rights of any Company Preferred Stock that may be issued and outstanding. No dividends or other distributions (including redemptions or repurchases of shares of capital stock) may be made if, after giving effect to any such dividends or distributions, Tiger Media would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or its total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed at the time of a liquidation to satisfy the preferential rights of any holders of preferred stock, if applicable.

 

5


Voting Rights.  Holders of Company Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share owned of record on all matters presented to the stockholders, except that such holders will not be entitled to vote on any amendment to Tiger Media’s Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock.

Dissolution, Liquidation or Winding Up. In connection with a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Tiger Media, subject to the rights, if any, of the holder of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the holders of Company Common Stock will be entitled to receive the assets of the company available for distribution to its stockholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them.

No Preemptive or Redemption Rights . The Company Common Stock has no preemptive or redemption rights.

No Cumulative Voting . The Company Common Stock has no cumulative voting rights.

Rights, Preferences and Restrictions of Tiger Media’s Series A Preferred Stock

Conversion. The Company Preferred Stock will automatically convert on a one-for-one basis into Company Common Stock immediately before the closing of a qualified sale. The Certificate of Designation of the Company Preferred Stock defines qualified sale as the bona fide, arms’ length sale of Company Preferred Stock to a non-affiliate of either the holder or Tiger Media.

Dividends. Each holder of Company Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends in the same manner as holders of Company Common Stock, at the same time any dividends or other distributions will be paid or declared and set apart for payment on any shares of Company Common Stock, on the basis of the largest number of whole shares of Company Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Company Preferred Stock could be converted.

Voting Rights. Except as required by law, holders of Company Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote, but each holder will be entitled, on the same basis as a holder of Company Common Stock, to receive notice of an action or meeting. In addition, holders of any series of preferred stock will be entitled to vote on any changes to Tiger Media’s Certificate of Incorporation that would modify the designations of such series of preferred stock.

Dissolution, Liquidation or Winding Up. In connection with a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Tiger Media, distributions to the stockholders of Tiger Media shall be made among the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock and any other class or series of preferred stock entitled to participate with the Common Stock in a liquidating distribution pro rata in proportion to the shares of Company Common Stock then held by them and the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock which they would have the right to acquire upon conversion of shares of Company Preferred Stock held by them.

No Preemptive or Redemption Rights. The Company Preferred Stock has no preemptive or redemption rights.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law and Tiger Media’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Provisions of the DGCL and Tiger Media’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire Tiger Media by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of Tiger Media to first negotiate with us. Tiger Media believes that the benefits of increased protection of its potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute . Tiger Media has elected not to be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15 percent or more of a corporation’s voting stock.

 

6


No Cumulative Voting . The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Tiger Media’s Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors . The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Tiger Media’s Certificate of Incorporation limits such liability except to the extent such limitation is not permitted pursuant to the DGCL. Tiger Media’s Bylaws also include provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of Tiger Media, or for serving at its request as a director or officer or in another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Tiger Media’s Bylaws also provide that it must indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers, subject to its receipt of an undertaking from the indemnitee, to the extent required under the DGCL, to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in Tiger Media’s Certificate of Incorporation and its Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the company and its stockholders. Tiger Media may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, it pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Authorized but Unissued Shares of Common Stock . Tiger Media’s authorized but unissued shares of Company Common Stock will be available for future issuance without approval by the holders of Company Common Stock. Tiger Media may use additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, employee benefit plans and as consideration for or to finance future acquisitions, investments or other purposes. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Company Common Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Undesignated Preferred Stock . Tiger Media’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes undesignated preferred stock. As a result, the board of directors of Tiger Media may, without the approval of holders of Company Common Stock, issue shares of preferred stock with super voting, special approval, dividend or other rights or preferences on a discriminatory basis that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire Tiger Media. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring, delaying or discouraging hostile takeovers, or changes in control or management of Tiger Media.

Effects of Various Provisions of Tiger Media’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws relating to Litigation

Provisions of Tiger Media’s Bylaws could make it more difficult for its stockholders and others to sue Tiger Media and its directors, officers and employees in connection with a derivative claim, a claim for breach of fiduciary duty by directors and/or officers, and other claims related to Tiger Media. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage non-meritorious lawsuits that can place an excessive burden on company resources. Tiger Media believes that the benefits of increased protection against its potential ability for such costly and unfounded litigation outweigh the disadvantages of potentially discouraging lawsuits because, among other things, they protect shareholder interests without unduly burdening the process to bring meritorious claims.

Fee Shifting Bylaw . Tiger Media’s Bylaws provide that in the event that (i) any current or prior stockholder of Tiger Media or anyone on such stockholder’s behalf initiates or asserts any claim or counterclaim or joins, offers substantial assistance to or has a direct financial interest in any such claim or counterclaim against Tiger Media or any one or more of its directors, officers or employees, and (ii) such claiming party (or such third party) does not obtain a judgment on the merits that substantially achieves, in substance and amount, the full remedy sought, then each such claiming party shall be obligated jointly and severally to reimburse Tiger Media and all such directors, officers, or employees for all fees, costs and expenses that the parties may incur in connection with such claim or counterclaim.

 

7


Forum Selection Bylaw . Tiger Media’s Bylaws provide that unless Tiger Media consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought against Tiger Media, any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of Tiger Media, any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to the DGCL, or any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants.

If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots.

2.09. Quorum . A quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of stockholders shall be at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date.

2.11. Right to Vote; Voting . Except as otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation or applicable law, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question.

At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the board of directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date for notice of such adjourned meeting.

(B) Special Meetings of Stockholders . Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion

i. Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. As soon as practicable after each Conversion Date, upon receipt of sale documentation satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the purchaser in the Qualified Sale a certificate or certificates, which will contain appropriate restrictive legends and trading restrictions, representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock by such Purchaser. Upon written request of such purchaser, the Company shall use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 6 electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. If some but not all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered by such converting Holder are converted, a new certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Preferred Stock which were not so converted shall be delivered to such Holder as promptly as practicable. If any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock pursuant to this section are not sold within thirty (30) days after the delivery to the Company of any notice of a proposed Qualified Sale, such shares shall ipso facto be deemed to have been converted back into Preferred Stock.

ii. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as are issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

iii. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the average closing price per share of Common Stock on the NYSE MKT, or any other trading market or exchange on which the Common Stock may then trade, for the ten-day period ending on the day prior to such Conversion Date, or round up to the next whole share.

iv. Transfer Taxes. Any transfer, documentary stamp or similar taxes arising on account of a conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock shall be responsibility of and paid by the Holder. Furthermore, the Company will not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion. The Company will not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof will have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) will become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and will become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

(b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, and (ii) such event does not constitute a Qualified Sale resulting in automatic conversion pursuant to Section 6(a) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of the Preferred Stock, the Holders shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (assuming the full conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock then held by them), the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new certificate of designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7(b) and insuring that this Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

 

5


(c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 will be made to the nearest share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date will be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) actually issued and outstanding.

(d) Notice to the Holders . Whenever the Conversion Ratio is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

Section 8 . Miscellaneous .

(a) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, electronic mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at the address of its principal office or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this section. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, electronic mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such address appears on the books of the Company, at the principal place of business of the Holders. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

(b) Lost or Mutilated Preferred Stock Certificate. If a Holder’s Preferred Stock certificate, if any, becomes mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Company and any of additional documentation the transfer agent of the Company may require.

(c) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Certificate of Designation will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Certificate of Designation (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) may be commenced only in the state and federal courts sitting in City of Wilmington, Delaware. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, or such courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Certificate of Designation and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Certificate of Designation or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Waiver. Any waiver by the Company or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or a waiver by any other Holders. The failure of the Company or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation. Any waiver by the Company or a Holder must be in writing.

(e) Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances.

(g) Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Certificate of Designation, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holders.

(h) Amendment . The terms of this Certificate of Designation shall not be amended except with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Stock voting as one class.

Exhibit 10.3

FORM OF

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

This Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”), entered into as of _________, 2015, sets forth the terms and conditions of an award (this “Award”) of restricted stock units (“Units”) granted by The Best One, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), to ____________ (the “Recipient”).

WHEREAS, the Company has employed the Recipient to perform specialized services for the Company pursuant to that certain Agreement by and between Company and Recipient dated _______________, 2014;

WHEREAS, the Company granted the Recipient the Award of Units on _________________, 2014 (the “Grant Date”) on the terms and conditions agreed to as follows:

1. Award . On the Grant Date, the Recipient was granted _______ Units. Any certificates issued upon vesting of the Units shall contain an appropriate restrictive legend.

2. Vesting . The Units shall vest quarterly in equal increments with the first vesting date being three months from the Grant Date, subject to the Recipient continuing to perform services for the Company on each applicable vesting date. Vested Units shall be paid out in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) with delivery of the Common Stock to take place on the Second Anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Delivery Date”). The Company will issue to the Recipient, in settlement of the Units and subject to the provisions of Section 7 below, the number of whole shares of Common Stock that equals the number of whole Units that become vested (less any shares of Common Stock withheld to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements), and the vested Units will cease to be outstanding upon your receipt of such shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in settlement of Units. The Units shall fully vest upon a Change of Control (which means a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5), as may be amended from time to time). Provided , however , the proposed merger with Tiger Media, Inc. shall not be deemed to be a Change of Control as long as Tiger Media, Inc. assumes the Units and the obligations under this Agreement. Termination of this Agreement and/or the Recipient continuing to no longer perform services for the Company shall not affect the Company’s obligation to deliver vested Units to the Recipient in the form of Common Stock. Common Stock deliverable as part of the vested Units shall be delivered to the Recipient upon the earlier of: (i) the Delivery Date; (ii) termination of this Agreement and/or the Recipient continuing to no longer perform services for the Company; or (iii) a Change of Control of the Company.

3. Rights . Except as provided in Section 18, the Recipient will receive no benefit or adjustment to the Units with respect to any cash or stock dividend, or other distributions. Further,

 

1


the Recipient will have no voting rights with respect to the Units until the shares of Common Stock are issued.

4. Restriction on Transfer . The Recipient shall not sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Units prior to the applicable vesting date.

5. Reservation of Right to Terminate Relationship . Nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the right of the Company to terminate the relationship of the Recipient at any time, with or without cause.

6. Securities . In order to enable the Company to comply with the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and relevant state law, the Company may require the Recipient, the Recipient’s estate, or any permitted transferee as a condition of issuing the Common Stock, to give written assurance satisfactory to the Company that the shares subject to the Units are being acquired for such person’s own account, for investment only, with no view to the distribution of same, and that any subsequent resale of any such shares either shall be made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state law which has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being sold, or shall be pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state law.

The Units and the underlying shares of Common Stock are further subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Board shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration, or qualification of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Units upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with the issuance of the Common Stock, the Common Stock will not be issued unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected.

7. Tax Withholding . The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the Company may require the Recipient to pay, or may withhold from sums owed by the Company to the Recipient, any amount necessary to comply with the minimum applicable withholding requirements that the Company deems necessary to comply with any federal, state or local withholding requirements for income and employment tax purposes.

8.  No Obligation to Minimize Taxes . The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of this Award to the Recipient and will not be liable to the Recipient for any adverse tax consequences arising in connection with this Award. The Recipient has been advised to consult with his own personal tax, financial and/or legal advisors regarding the tax consequences of this Award.

9. 409A Compliance . The provisions of this Agreement and the issuance of the shares of Common Stock in respect of the Units is intended to comply with the short-term deferral exception as specified in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-l(b)(4).

The decision and award made by the arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto for all purposes, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

18. Adjustments . The number of shares of Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in this Section 18. For the purpose of this Section 18, “Common Stock” means shares now or hereafter authorized of any class of common stock of the Company, however designated, that has the right to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of the Company without limit as to per share amount (excluding, and subject to any prior rights of, any class or series of preferred stock).

(a) In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock other securities of the Company, then the number and kind of securities issuable on such date, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Recipient hereafter shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or such other securities other than Common Stock) of the Company, the Recipient would have been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation) of cash, evidences of indebtedness or assets, or subscription rights or warrants, the Recipient shall be entitled to receive such distribution as if he owned shares of Common Stock as of such record date.

(c) Reserved

(d) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to

 

4


Section 18(a) above, the Recipient shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares of Common Stock contained in this Section 18.

(e) If the Company merges or consolidates into or with another corporation or entity, or if another corporation or entity merges into or with the Company (excluding such a merger in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange, or cancellation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or if all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company are sold or transferred to another corporation, entity, or person, then, as a condition to such consolidation, merger, or sale (any a “Transaction”), the Company shall require the surviving entity to assume this Agreement and provide the Recipient with the equivalent number of shares on the same terms and conditions.

(f) In case any event shall occur as to which the other provisions of this Section 18 are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Agreement in accordance with the essential intent and principles hereof, then, in each such case, the Company shall effect such adjustment, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 18, as may be necessary to preserve, without dilution, the rights represented by this Agreement.

(g) Record Date . If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, options or in convertible securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, options or convertible securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

(h) Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 18, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted number or type of capital stock or other securities deliverable under this Agreement, describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Recipient and to the Company’s Transfer Agent, if any.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW REPORT

To Management

The Best One, Inc.

2650 N. Military Trail

Suite 300

Boca Raton, Florida 33431

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of The Best One, Inc. as of September 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the period from September 22, 2014 (inception) through September 30, 2014. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management’s financial data and making inquiries of Company management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements.

Our responsibility is to conduct the review in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our report.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company was formed as a corporation on September 22, 2014 in the State of Florida. On October 2, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Interactive Data, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Interactive Data”).

Business Description

The Company was formed as a holding company to acquire valuable and proprietary technology assets across a broad range of industries. Such assets are utilized to provide services including analytics, marketing and risk mitigation solutions.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market and various deposit accounts.

Concentration of Business and Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and receivables. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company maintains its cash balances primarily at one financial institution, and at times the balances may be in excess of federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s cash balances exceeded the insurance limits by $1,987,500.

Revenue Recognition

The accounting rules related to revenue recognition are complex and are affected by interpretations of the rules and an understanding of industry practices, both of which are subject to change. Consequently, the revenue recognition accounting rules require management to make significant judgments.

The Company generally recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or a service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

From September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014, the Company had no revenue and had no customers.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Intangibles

Generally, intangible assets acquired are stated at their historic cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with determinable finite useful lives, which includes software and website development, on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 3 years for the assets.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged to expense in the period incurred. Betterments and additions are capitalized. At September 30, 2014, the Company had no property and equipment. Amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. At September 30, 2014, the Company had no leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Management assess recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

From inception September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10 for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

From September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014, the Company operated at a loss creating a deferred tax asset in the amount $16,254. The Company had no accrued tax liability as of September 30, 2014. The Company recognizes income tax interest and penalties as a separately identified component of general and

administrative expense. There were no material income tax interest or penalties for the period from September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014. There are no open federal or state income tax years under audit. All of the Company’s income tax filings since inception remain open for tax examinations.

Research and Development

In accordance with GAAP, all research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s research and development activities consist of development of new or enhanced products or services. The Company has determined that there were no research and development activities for the period from September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014.

Advertising

Advertising costs, included in selling expenses, are expensed as incurred. The Company had no Advertising expenses for the period from September 22, 2014, through September 30, 2014.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:

 

    Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

 

    Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

    Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

Cash, and all other current assets and liabilities, are reflected in the financial statements at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not identified any recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Interactive Data, LLC, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, member’s equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Opinion

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Interactive Data, LLC as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

The Company was formed as a limited liability company on October 3, 2001 in the State of Georgia. On October 2, 2014, The Best One, Inc., a Florida corporation (“TBO”) acquired 100% of the membership interests of the Company.

Business Description

Historically, the Company has provided data solutions and services to the Accounts Receivable Management (ARM) industry for location and identity verification, legislative compliance and debt recovery. The Company is now targeting the entirety of the risk management market, including expansion into FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) regulated data, and non-regulated data. Transforming the way organizations use their data, the Company’s next generation supercomputer technology and proprietary linking and assessment algorithms solves complex, large scale data problems for its customers.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market and various deposit accounts.

Concentration of Business and Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and receivables. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company maintains its cash balances primarily at one financial institution, and at times the balances may be in excess of federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s cash balances did not exceed insurance limits.

Management reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. As at and for the year ended December 31, 2013 there were no individual customers with a balance in excess of 10% of the accounts receivable and there were no customers in excess of 10% of net sales.

Concentration of Vendors

The Company uses data acquired through licensing rights from approximately 12 providers. The loss of any one of these providers could have an immediate near-term impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition

The accounting rules related to revenue recognition are complex and are affected by interpretations of the rules and an understanding of industry practices, both of which are subject to change. Consequently, the revenue recognition accounting rules require management to make significant judgments.

The Company generally recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or a service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue is generally recognized on (a) a transactional basis determined by the customers’ usage, (b) a monthly fee or (c) a combination of both.

Revenues pursuant to contracts containing a monthly fee are generally recognized ratably over the contract period, which is generally 1 year. Revenues pursuant to transactions determined by the customers’ usage are recognized when the transaction is complete. Costs associated with separately priced customer service contracts are generally recognized as follows: (a) costs are expensed as incurred; and (b) losses are recognized on contracts where the expected future costs exceed expected future revenue. No such loss contracts exist at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, deferred revenue totaled $178,557 and $149,207, respectively, all of which is expected to be realized in 2014.

The Company sells its products, generally on credit, to a limited number of customers. Each of these customers is considered significant, however, no single customer accounts for more than 3% of revenues. Management determines whether an allowance needs to be provided for an amount due from a customer depending on the aging of the individual balances receivable, recent payment history, contractual terms and other qualitative factors such as status of business relationship with the customer. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, based on management’s assessment, an allowance in the amount of $55,132 and $47,395 respectively for uncollectible accounts receivable was recorded.

An adverse change in the status of one customer could materially affect the Company’s estimate of its bad debts. Accounts receivable are written off in the fiscal year when all legal collection procedures have been exhausted. The Company wrote off no accounts receivable to bad debt expense in 2013 and 2012 respectively.

Intangibles

Generally, intangible assets acquired are stated at their historic cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with determinable finite useful lives, which includes software and website development, on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 3 years for the assets.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged to expense in the period incurred. Betterments and additions are capitalized. Amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Management assess recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10 for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company assesses its income tax positions based on management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. The Company uses a more likely than not threshold when making its assessment as to financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position. For the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012 a provision of $260,031 and a benefit of $138,905, respectively, were recognized for income taxes. Prior to November 2012, the Company was taxed as a subchapter S corporation under existing Internal Revenue Service regulations with its taxable income taxed directly to its members (and losses distributed to its members). Any state minimum or franchise taxes due are generally expensed as incurred. The Company recognizes income tax interest and penalties as a separately identified component of general and administrative expense. There were no material income tax interest or penalties for the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012. There are no open federal or state income tax years under audit. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending on or before December 31, 2010 or Georgia state income tax examination by tax authorities for years ending on or before December 31, 2010. The Company is not currently involved in any income tax examinations.

Research and Development

In accordance with GAAP, all research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s research and development activities consist of development of new or enhanced products or services. The Company has determined that there were no research and development activities in 2013 and 2012.

Advertising

Advertising costs, included in selling expenses, are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, were $142,028 and $150,216, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:

 

Level 1 –

Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 –

Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 –

Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

Cash, and all other current assets and liabilities, are reflected in the financial statements at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not identified any recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 6 – TLO, LLC, PURCHASE AND SUBSEQUENT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (continued)

Settlement Agreement

On September 23, 2013, the former owners of the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with TLO by which TLO conveyed 100% of the membership interest of the Company back to the former owners. This conveyance of ownership interest included all assets of the Company, including, but not limited to, all the intellectual property (including, but no limited to, inventories, patents, and trademarks), systems, marketing materials, E-mail addresses, URLs, customers, customer lists, and markings owned, held, possessed, or created as of September 23, 2013. Notwithstanding, any cash balance greater than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) as reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as of September 23, 2013, would be distributed to TLO.

Accounting treatment

Subsequent to the acquisition and until the settlement with TLO, the Company operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary maintaining its own books and records separate and apart from TLO. There were no material changes to and no recognition of gain or loss on the financial statements as a result of the sale of membership interests to or conveyance of membership interests back from TLO.

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Due to/from Related Parties

From November of 2012 through September 2013, TLO owned 100% of the membership interests of the Company.

These advances did not bear interest, were unsecured, and were due on demand. The net amount due from TLO totaled $0 at December 31, 2013, and the net amount due to TLO totaled $210,088 at December 31, 2012.

From October 2013 through October 2014, WHP Solutions, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“WHP”), owned 60% of the membership interest of the Company. From time to time during the period, the Company and WHP would make and receive advances based on expenses paid on behalf of the other party.

NOTE 8 - LLC AGREEMENT

Effective at its formation, the Company entered into a LLC operating agreement, commonly referred to as the “LLC Agreement.” The Company entered into various amendments to the LLC agreement, primarily to admit new LLC members and to change governance provisions; the last amendment is as of the effective date of October 2, 2014.

The liability of a member for the losses, debts and obligations of the Company shall be limited to its capital contributions which have not been repaid to or withdrawn by such member.

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring after December 31, 2013 through January 9, 2015, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued, for disclosure. The following matters have occurred through January 9, 2015.

Sale of 100% Membership Interest to TBO

On October 2, 2014, TBO acquired 100% of the membership interests of Interactive Data through a Securities Purchase Agreement between TBO, John O. Schaeffer (“Schaeffer”) and WHP Solutions, LLC (“WHP”). The aggregate purchase price for the securities purchased consisted of $5,760,000 in cash and 100 shares of TBO preferred stock, which have since converted into 1,422,222 shares of TBO common stock. The stock consideration was paid entirely to Schaeffer, founder of Interactive Data and 40% interest holder at the time of the acquisition, who also received $1.92 million of the cash consideration, with the remainder being paid to WHP. The purchase price was subject to adjustment to the extent working capital as of the closing was greater than or less than $0. As a result of the post-closing adjustment, an additional $508,767 in cash was paid to Schaeffer and WHP with an additional $51,594 due upon the earlier of TBO’s realization of prepaid tax credit or September 30, 2015. In addition, TBO entered into a two year employment agreement with Schaeffer, effective as of the closing date, with Schaeffer to serve as a Senior Executive of TBO and General Manager of Interactive Data.

IP Litigation

On October 27, 2014, Transunion Risk and Alternative Data Solutions, Inc., filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment against the Company, among other parties, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Florida regarding a dispute over ownership of certain intellectual property. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint as the Company does not claim an ownership or any other interest in the intellectual property in question.

Non-Compete Litigation

On October 23, 2014, TransUnion Risk and Alternative Data Solutions, Inc. (“TRADS”) filed a Complaint and Motion for Temporary Injunction, in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, against James Reilly, President and Chief Operating Officer of TBO and Interactive Data, seeking relief for alleged violation of a noncompetition agreement. On December 19, 2014, James Reilly filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. An adverse ruling could have an immediate near-term impact on TBO’s and/or Interactive Data’s financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

On November 26, 2014, TRADS filed a Complaint and Motion for Preliminary Injunction, in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, against Daniel MacLachlan, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of TBO, seeking relief for alleged violation of a noncompetition agreement. An adverse ruling could have an immediate near-term impact on TBO’s financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

Tiger Media Merger With the Company

On December 14, 2014, Tiger Media (NYSE MKT: IDI), a Shanghai-based multi-platform media company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, entered into a definitive merger agreement with TBO (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the merger agreement, current Tiger Media and TBO shareholders will own approximately 34% and 66% of the combined company, respectively, following the Merger. The owner of approximately 30% of TBO’s common stock on an as converted basis beneficially owns approximately 23% of Tiger Media. Approximately 65% of the shares to be issued to TBO will be non-voting preferred stock, and 30% of these preferred shares will only be issued upon achievement of certain revenue targets. The Merger is subject to customary conditions to closing detailed in the merger agreement, as well as the requirement that Tiger Media obtain an affirmative vote of 2/3 of the votes cast at the Tiger Media meeting to permit it to reincorporate in Delaware and obtain the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast to approve the issuance of Tiger Media securities as merger consideration.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

The Company was formed as a limited liability company on October 3, 2001 in the State of Georgia. On October 2, 2014, The Best One, Inc., a Florida corporation (“TBO”) acquired 100% of the membership interests of the Company.

Business Description

Historically, the Company has provided data solutions and services to the Accounts Receivable Management (ARM) industry for location and identity verification, legislative compliance and debt recovery. The Company is now targeting the entirety of the risk management market, including expansion into FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) regulated data, and non-regulated data. Transforming the way organizations use their data, the Company’s next generation supercomputer technology and proprietary linking and assessment algorithms solves complex, large scale data problems for its customers.

Use of Estimates

The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and all highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of money market and various deposit accounts. .

Concentration of Business and Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and receivables. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company maintains its cash balances primarily at one financial institution, and at times the balances may be in excess of federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2014, the Company’s cash balances exceeded the insurance limits by $391,402.

Management reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. As at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 there were no individual customers with a balance in excess of 10% of the accounts receivable and there were no customers in excess of 10% of net sales.

Concentration of Vendors

The Company uses data acquired through licensing rights from approximately 12 providers. The loss of any one of these providers could have an immediate near-term impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

See accompanying independent accountant’s review report.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition

The accounting rules related to revenue recognition are complex and are affected by interpretations of the rules and an understanding of industry practices, both of which are subject to change. Consequently, the revenue recognition accounting rules require management to make significant judgments.

The Company generally recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or a service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue is generally recognized on (a) a transactional basis determined by the customers’ usage, (b) a monthly fee or (c) a combination of both.

Revenues pursuant to contracts containing a monthly fee are generally recognized ratably over the contract period, which is generally 1 year. Revenues pursuant to transactions determined by the customers’ usage are recognized when the transaction is complete. Costs associated with separately priced customer service contracts are generally recognized as follows: (a) costs are expensed as incurred; and (b) losses are recognized on contracts where the expected future costs exceed expected future revenue. No such loss contracts exist at September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2014, deferred revenue totaled $140,535 all of which is expected to be realized in the remainder of 2014 and 2015.

The Company sells its products, generally on credit, to a limited number of customers. Each of these customers is considered significant, however, no single customer accounts for more than 3% of revenues. Management determines whether an allowance needs to be provided for an amount due from a customer depending on the aging of the individual balances receivable, recent payment history, contractual terms and other qualitative factors such as status of business relationship with the customer. At September 30, 2014, based on management’s assessment, an allowance in the amount of $81,109 for uncollectible accounts receivable was recorded.

An adverse change in the status of one customer could materially affect the Company’s estimate of its bad debts. Accounts receivable are written off in the fiscal year when all legal collection procedures have been exhausted. The Company wrote off no accounts receivable to bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Intangibles

Generally, intangible assets acquired are stated at their historic cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with determinable finite useful lives, which includes software and website development, on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 3 years for the assets.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged to expense in the period incurred. Betterments and additions are capitalized. Amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the assets. At September 30, 2014, the Company had no leasehold improvements. Depreciation and amortization are provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Management assess recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were no impairments of long-lived assets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC subtopic 740-10 for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company assesses its income tax positions based on management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. The Company uses a more likely than not threshold when making its assessment as to financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a provision of $149,539 was recognized for income taxes. Prior to November 2012, the Company was taxed as a subchapter S corporation under existing Internal Revenue Service regulations with its taxable income taxed directly to its members (and losses distributed to its members). Any state minimum or franchise taxes due are generally expensed as incurred. The Company recognizes income tax interest and penalties as a separately identified component of general and administrative expense. There were no material income tax interest or penalties for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. There are no open federal or state income tax years under audit. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending on or before December 31, 2010 or Georgia state income tax examination by tax authorities for years ending on or before December 31, 2010. The Company is not currently involved in any income tax examinations.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Research and Development

In accordance with GAAP, all research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s research and development activities consist of development of new or enhanced products or services. The Company has determined that there were no research and development activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Advertising

Advertising costs, included in selling expenses, are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was $110,718.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:

 

    Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

 

    Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

    Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

Cash, and all other current assets and liabilities, are reflected in the financial statements at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has not identified any recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (continued)

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740: Income Taxes, the Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for tax years prior to 2010.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring after September 30, 2014 through January 9, 2015, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued, for disclosure. The following matters have occurred through January 9, 2015.

Sale of 100% Membership Interest to TBO

On October 2, 2014, TBO acquired 100% of the membership interests of Interactive Data through a Securities Purchase Agreement between TBO, John O. Schaeffer (“Schaeffer”) and WHP Solutions, LLC (“WHP”). The aggregate purchase price for the securities purchased consisted of $5,760,000 in cash and 100 shares of TBO preferred stock, which have since converted into 1,422,222 shares of TBO common stock. The stock consideration was paid entirely to Schaeffer, founder of Interactive Data and 40% interest holder at the time of the acquisition, who also received $1.92 million of the cash consideration, with the remainder being paid to WHP. The purchase price was subject to adjustment to the extent working capital as of the closing was greater than or less than $0. As a result of the post-closing adjustment, an additional $508,767 in cash was paid to Schaeffer and WHP with an additional $51,594 due upon the earlier of TBO’s realization of prepaid tax credit or September 30, 2015. In addition, TBO entered into a two year employment agreement with Schaeffer, effective as of the closing date, with Schaeffer to serve as a Senior Executive of TBO and General Manager of Interactive Data.

IP Litigation

On October 27, 2014, Transunion Risk and Alternative Data Solutions, Inc., filed a complaint against the Company for Declaratory Judgment in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Florida regarding a dispute over ownership of certain intellectual property (software). The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint as it does not claim an ownership or any other interest in the intellectual property in question. TBO has claimed ownership in such intellectual property.

Non-Compete Litigation

On October 23, 2014, TransUnion Risk and Alternative Data Solutions, Inc. (“TRADS”) filed a Complaint and Motion for Temporary Injunction, in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, against James Reilly, President and Chief Operating Officer of TBO and Interactive Data, seeking relief for alleged violation of a noncompetition agreement. On December 19, 2014, James Reilly filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint.

Tiger Media, Inc., Agreement to Acquire the Company

On December 14, 2014, Tiger Media (NYSE MKT: IDI), a Shanghai-based multi-platform media company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, entered into a definitive merger agreement with TBO (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the merger agreement, current Tiger Media and TBO shareholders will own approximately 34% and 66% of the combined company, respectively, following the Merger. The owner of approximately 30% of TBO’s common stock on an as converted basis beneficially owns approximately 23% of Tiger Media. Approximately 65% of the shares to be issued to TBO will be non-voting preferred stock, and 30% of these preferred shares will only be issued upon achievement of certain revenue targets. The Merger is subject to customary conditions to closing detailed in the merger agreement, as well as the requirement that Tiger Media obtain an affirmative vote of 2/3 of the votes cast at the Tiger Media meeting to permit it to reincorporate in Delaware and obtain the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast to approve the issuance of Tiger Media securities as merger consideration.

Exhibit 99.5

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are based on the historical financial statements of Tiger Media and TBO after giving effect to the proposed Merger of the companies, and the assumptions, reclassifications and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2014 gives effect to the Merger of Tiger Media and TBO as if the Merger had occurred on that date. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operates for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 give effect to the Merger of Tiger Media and TBO as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2013. On October 2, 2014, TBO acquired 100% of the membership interests of Interactive Data, substantially in cash. On December 14, 2014, Tiger Media and TBO entered into Merger Agreement. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with (i) Tiger Media’s historical consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the accompanying notes thereto; (ii) Interactive Data’s historical financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the accompanying notes thereto; (iii) TBO’s historical financial statements for the period from September 22, 2014 (inception) through September 30, 2014 and the accompanying notes thereto; and (iv) the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Tiger Media will account for the Merger as a purchase of TBO, using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. Upon completion of the Merger, TBO stockholders will be entitled to receive 86,253,870 shares of Tiger Media (including 13,501,624 shares assuming all Earn-Out Shares are earned, and all shares underlying restricted stock units and warrants are issued, all prior to the TBO reverse stock split) representing in aggregate approximately 68.4% of the outstanding capital shares of the combined company following the Merger on a fully diluted basis. Frost Gamma Investment Trust, which currently owns approximately 29.3% of Tiger Media, will receive 17,802,085 shares to be issued to TBO stockholders, or 20.6% of such shares on a fully diluted basis. As a result, current Tiger Media shareholders will own approximately 45.8% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis (assuming all the Earn-Out Shares are earned), and 50.3% of the combined company on a non-diluted basis. For the purposes of determining the acquirer for accounting purposes, Tiger Media considered the following factors: (i) the relative voting rights of the parties - immediately following the Merger, TBO shareholders will receive 32,985,768 common shares with voting rights, which is fewer than the number of outstanding voting shares held by Tiger Media shareholders prior to the Merger; (ii) the composition of the board of directors of the combined entity - the number of directors constituting the board of directors of the combined company will be increased to seven directors and the current five members, including the Chairman of the Board, will remain the same; and (iii) the composition of senior management of the combined entity after the Merger - except for the addition of a Co-Chief Executive Officer from TBO, the senior management of Tiger Media will remain the same. Based on the weighting of these factors, Tiger Media has concluded that it is the accounting acquirer.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, as of the Effective Time, the assets acquired, including the identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed from TBO will be recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of Tiger Media. Any excess of the purchase price for the Merger over the net fair value of TBO’s identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill and any transaction costs and restructuring expenses associated with the Merger will be expensed as incurred. The results of operations of TBO will be combined with the results of operations of Tiger Media beginning at the Effective Time. The consolidated financial statements of Tiger Media will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of TBO. Following the Merger, and subject to the finalization of the purchase price allocation, the earnings of Tiger Media will reflect the effect of any purchase accounting adjustments, including any increased depreciation and amortization associated with fair value adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

PF-1


The unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement are based on the historical financial statements of Tiger Media, TBO and Interactive Data, and on publicly available information and certain assumptions that Tiger Media believes are reasonable, which are described in the notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this proxy statement. Tiger Media has not performed a detailed valuation analysis necessary to determine the fair market values of TBO and Interactive Data’s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, preliminary allocations of estimated acquisition consideration have been based on the issuance of 71,313,870 shares of Tiger Media’s common stock (on as-converted basis and assuming all the Earn-Out Shares will be earned, prior to the TBO reverse stock split) for 100% of the aggregate shares of TBO. The preliminary acquisition consideration has been allocated to certain assets and liabilities using management assumptions as further described in the accompanying notes. After the closing of the Merger, Tiger Media will complete their valuations of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and determine the useful lives of the assets acquired.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are provided for informational purpose. The pro forma information provided is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position and results of operations would have actually been had the Merger been completed on the dates used to prepare these pro forma financial statements. The adjustments to fair value and the other estimates reflected in the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be materially different from those reflected in the combined company’s consolidated financial statements subsequent to the Merger. In addition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not purport to project the future financial position or results of operations of the merged companies. Reclassifications and adjustments may be required if changes to Tiger Media’s financial presentation are needed to conform Tiger Media’s and TBO’s accounting policies.

These Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be associated with the transaction. These financial statements also do not include any integration costs the companies may incur related to the Merger as part of combining the operations of the companies. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include an estimate for transaction costs, of approximately $0.8 million.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The preceding Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Tiger Media based on the historical financial statements of Tiger Media, TBO and Interactive Data to illustrate the effects of the proposed Merger. On October 2, 2014, TBO acquired 100% of the membership interests of Interactive Data. On December 14, 2014, Tiger Media and TBO entered into Merger Agreement. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with (i) Tiger Media’s historical consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and accompanying notes thereto; (ii) Interactive Data’s historical financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and accompanying notes thereto; and (iii) TBO’s historical financial statements for the period from September 22, 2014 (inception) through September 30, 2014 and accompanying notes thereto. The effective date of the Merger between Tiger Media and TBO is assumed to be September 30, 2014 for purposes of preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and January 1, 2013 for purposes of preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013. The unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement is based on the historical financial statements of Tiger Media, TBO and Interactive Data, and on publicly available information and certain assumptions that Tiger Media believes are reasonable, which are described the notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Proxy Statement.

 

2. Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by Tiger Media. The accounting policies followed for financial reporting on a pro forma basis are the same as those disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Tiger Media’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not assume any differences in accounting policies among Tiger Media, TBO and Interactive Data. Upon consummation of the Merger, Tiger Media will review the accounting policies of TBO and Interactive Data to ensure conformity of such accounting policies to those of Tiger Media and, as a result of that review, Tiger Media may identify differences among the accounting policies of the three companies, that when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined financial statements. At this time, Tiger Media is not aware of any difference that would have a material impact on the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

3. Preliminary Estimated Acquisition Consideration

On December 14, 2014, Tiger Media and TBO entered into a Merger Agreement and pursuant to which Tiger Media will acquire TBO and Interactive Data by issuance of capital shares. Tiger Media is identified as the acquiring company for US GAAP accounting purposes. If the Merger is completed, TBO stockholders will be entitled to receive an aggregate 71,313,870 capital shares (on an as-converted basis, assuming all Earn-Out Shares are earned, prior to the TBO Reverse Stock Split). In addition to these, there are approximately 14,940,000 restricted stock units or warrants to be issued to TBO’s employees or non-employees for their further services. The estimated shares to be issued, prior to the TBO Reverse Stock Split, would be as follows (in ‘000’s)

 

     Shares estimated to be issued  

Common stock

     37,486   

Non-voting preferred stock

     33,828   
  

 

 

 
  71,314   

 

PF-6


Among these, there are estimated 4.5 million common stock and 9.0 million preferred shares, that constitute Earn-Out Shares. Based on management’s preliminary estimation, these Earn-Out Shares are assumed to be earned.

The preliminary estimated acquisition consideration, currently based on the closing price of Tiger Media’s common stock on September 30, 2014 of $0.54, may change significantly if the trading price of Tiger Media’s common stock fluctuates materially from the market value as of September 30, 2014. If the share price were to decrease by 10% or increase to $1.09 (the average stock close price during the most recent 30 trading days prior to February 12, 2015), the impact to total consideration and goodwill generated from the transaction would be as follows (in ‘000’s):

 

     10% decrease
in the value of
Tiger Media
common stock
     Based on $0.54
closing price of
Tiger Media
common stock at
September 30, 2014
     Based on $1.09

Total consideration

   $ 34,659       $ 38,509       $ 77,732   

Goodwill – excess of purchase price over identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed

     31,261         35,111         74,334   

Tiger Media will record the Merger as a purchase of TBO, including its newly acquired subsidiary, Interactive Data, by Tiger Media, using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. Under the acquisition method of accounting, as of effective time of the merger, the assets acquired, including the identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed from TBO will be recorded at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price for the Merger over the net fair value of TBO identified assets and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. The preliminary estimated acquisition consideration would be allocated as indicated in the table below.

Tiger Media has not performed a detailed valuation analysis necessary to determine the fair market values of TBO and Interactive Data’s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. Accordingly, the pro forma financial statements include only a preliminary allocations of the purchase price for certain assets and liabilities based on assumptions and estimates. After the closing of the Merger, Tiger Media will complete its valuations of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and determine the useful lives of the assets acquired. The adjustments to fair value and the other estimates, including amortization expense, reflected in the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be materially different from those reflected in Tiger Media’s consolidated financial statements subsequent to the merger.

 

4. Preliminary Pro Forma and Acquisition Accounting Adjustments

  (b) Reflects the consideration paid at closing to TBO’s shareholders in Tiger Media’s common stock and preferred stock convertible into common stock.
