Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 15, 2020, Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) entered into a Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Amendment”) among the Company, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”), the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), which First Lien Amendment amends the terms of that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2017, by and among the Company, the Guarantors identified on the signature pages thereto, each lender from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer, and Swing Line Lender (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including pursuant to the First Lien Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”).

In addition, on April 15, 2020, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Second Lien Amendment”) among the Company, the Guarantors, and each purchaser party thereto, which Second Lien Amendment amends that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2018, by and among the Company, Searchlight II TBO, L.P., Searchlight II TBO-W, L.P., and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as collateral agent (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including pursuant to the Second Lien Amendment, the “Purchase Agreement”; the notes issued thereunder, the “Second Lien Notes”).

First Lien Amendment

The First Lien Amendment modified the Credit Agreement, including, with respect to the following terms:

 

   

The deadline for delivery of audited consolidated annual financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 has been extended from April 16, 2020 until May 14, 2020 (as such deadline may be extended from time to time by an order of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission), and a “going concern” qualification will be permitted.

 

   

The deadline for delivery of unaudited consolidated quarterly financial statements of the Company for fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 has been extended from the date that is 45 days after the end of such fiscal quarter until June 29, 2020 (as such deadline may be extended from time to time by an order of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission).

 

   

The deadline for delivery of a consolidated budget for fiscal year 2020 in respect of such fiscal year has been extended from 120 days after the end of the 2019 fiscal year until June 1, 2020.

 

   

The Company will not be required to comply with the maximum consolidated first lien net leverage ratio for the test period ended on March 31, 2020.

In addition, pursuant to the First Lien Amendment, the Lenders consented to the Second Lien Amendment and to the transactions contemplated thereby. The First Lien Amendment was conditioned upon the Company being current on all interest on the loans that was due and payable immediately prior to giving effect to the First Lien Amendment.

The First Lien Amendment includes the following additional covenants with respect to the Company:

 

   

The Company has agreed to furnish to advisors of the Lenders (on a “professional eyes only” basis) a rolling thirteen-week budget cash flow forecast on a consolidated basis for the Company and its subsidiaries, and a material variance report for the prior week as compared to the applicable previously furnished forecast, with such forecast to be updated every four weeks and the material variance report to be distributed on a weekly basis.

 

   

The Company has agreed to maintain undrawn revolving commitments plus cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries in an aggregate amount of not less than $17,500,000. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $54.3 million.


Table of Contents
   

Senior management and certain advisors of the Company will be available to participate in such conference calls as the advisors of the Lenders may request to discuss the financial results and financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, and provide such other information regarding the financial results, financial condition and business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries as the advisors of the Lenders may reasonably request.

 

   

Within five business days of the effective date of the First Lien Amendment, the Company will establish an independent committee of its board of directors, consisting of at least three members, each of whom is a Qualified Independent Director (as defined below), for the purpose of exploring financing, recapitalization, strategic transactions and other similar opportunities and transactions for the Company and its subsidiaries. “Qualified Independent Director” means (x) Jeffrey Leddy and (y) an individual who is not an affiliate, or a current or former employee, officer, member, or partner of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, Searchlight Capital Partners, L.P. (or any of its controlled investment affiliates or funds under its control), Nantahala Capital Management, LLC (or any of its controlled investment affiliates or funds under its control) or any holder or any affiliate of any holder of the Company’s funded indebtedness or more than 5% of the Company’s common stock. Authorization by such independent committee will be required in connection with the Company’s or its applicable subsidiaries’ entering into any such financing, recapitalization, strategic transaction or other similar opportunity or transaction.

Second Lien Amendment

The Second Lien Amendment modified the Purchase Agreement, including with respect to the following terms:

 

   

The deadline for delivery of audited consolidated annual financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 has been extended from the date that is 120 days after the end of such fiscal year until the date that is 30 days after May 14, 2020 (as such deadline may be extended from time to time by an order of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission), and such financial statements may be subject to a “going concern” qualification.

The deadline for delivery of a consolidated budget for fiscal year 2020 in respect of such fiscal year has been extended from 120 days after the end of the 2019 fiscal year until June 1, 2020.

Pursuant to the Second Lien Amendment, the noteholders consented to the First Lien Amendment and to the transactions contemplated thereby.

The descriptions contained herein of the First Lien Amendment and Second Lien Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms of the First Lien Amendment and Second Lien Amendment, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.02

Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The Company has announced that its cash and cash equivalents were $54.3 million as of March 31, 2020.

 

Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On April 13, 2020, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as the market value of the Company’s listed securities was less than $35 million for the previous 30 consecutive business days. Under Nasdaq


Table of Contents

Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until October 12, 2020, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. To regain compliance, during this 180-day compliance period, the market value of the Company’s listed securities must be $35 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

The Letter has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and, therefore, the Company’s listing remains fully effective.

There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the MVLS Rule during the 180-day period in which to regain compliance or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements. Regardless of any outcome in connection with the MVLS Rule, as previously disclosed, if the Company fails to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for at least ten consecutive business days prior to May 4, 2020, its Common Stock will be delisted.

 

Item 3.03

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in Item 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03

Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On April 15, 2020, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on March 17, 2020 and by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”).

The Certificate of Amendment effects a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock, in which each twenty-five (25) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of April 15, 2020 will be combined and converted into one share of Common Stock. While the reverse stock split will decrease the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, it will not change the total number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance by the Company, nor will it change the par value of the Common Stock. The reverse stock split is primarily intended to bring the Company into compliance with the MVLS Rule and the minimum bid price requirements for maintaining its listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, the Company will pay cash to any stockholder holding fractional shares as a result of the reverse stock split equal to such fraction multiplied by the closing price per share of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market as of April 14, 2020.

This summary of the Certificate of Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

The Company expects that the reverse stock split-adjusted shares of its Common Stock will begin trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the open of the market on April 16, 2020 under the new CUSIP number 37951D300. No change will be made to the trading symbol for the Common Stock, “ENT”, in connection with the reverse stock split.

 

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

In connection with the discussions regarding the First Lien Amendment, the Company furnished to the lenders party thereto a management presentation and certain other information regarding the Company (the “Disclosure Information”), a copy of which is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. Statements made and information included in the Disclosure Information are made as of the date of such Disclosure Information and not as of the date hereof.

(b)           The Borrower covenants and agrees that, commencing on the Effective Date, and thereafter as provided in the last sentence of this clause (b), the Borrower shall furnish to each of the Lenders’ Advisors and the Administrative Agent, (i) a rolling thirteen-week budget cash flow forecast on a consolidated basis for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, prepared in good faith by the Borrower and based upon assumptions that the Borrower believes to be reasonable at the time of delivery, in the form (including the line-item reporting) attached hereto as Exhibit B, setting forth, among other items, cash flows, budgeted cash receipts, budgeted disbursement amounts, budgeted liquidity and budgeted professional fees, and (ii) a variance report for the prior week as compared to the applicable previously furnished forecast, which variance report shall include a description of material variances in actual results for each line item as compared to the forecasted results for such line item; provided that such items described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall be treated as confidential information delivered on a “professional eyes only” basis in accordance with confidentiality agreements entered into between such Lenders’ Advisors and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the Borrower. The rolling thirteen-week budget cash flow forecast shall be updated every four weeks and the material variance report shall be distributed weekly on each Wednesday for the prior week.

 

(c)           The Borrower covenants and agrees to maintain at all times an aggregate amount of unused Revolving Credit Commitments plus the aggregate amount of unrestricted

 

 

 

cash and Cash Equivalents of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of not less than $17,500,000.

 

(d)         Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.17 of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Borrower covenants and agrees that, after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall cause senior management of the Borrower and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its advisors to (i) be available to participate on such conference calls as the Lenders’ Advisors or the Administrative Agent may separately request, on no less than a bi-weekly basis, at mutually agreed times with each such requesting party during normal business hours, to discuss the financial results and the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and such other matters as the Lenders’ Advisors or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may reasonably request and (ii) participate in other calls or provide such other information regarding the financial results, the financial condition, and the business affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and such other matters, in each case as the Lenders’ Advisors or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

 

(e)           On or before the date that is five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall (i) establish a committee of its board of directors consisting of at least three members, each of whom is a Qualified Independent Director (as defined below) (the “Strategic Transaction Committee”), for the purpose of exploring financing, recapitalization, strategic transactions and other similar opportunities and transactions for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (ii) deliver to each of the Lenders’ Advisors and the Administrative Agent a true and correct copy of the bylaws (or amendment thereto) or of the resolutions, minutes or consent of the board of directors, as applicable, of the Borrower reflecting the formation of, and the responsibilities, policies and procedures governing, the Strategic Transaction Committee, which applicable document shall (A) require the Borrower or, if applicable, any of its Subsidiaries to obtain the authorization of the Strategic Transaction Committee before entering into any such financing, recapitalization, strategic transaction or other similar opportunity or transaction and (B) otherwise be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders (which approval may be evidenced in writing in an email or other form of written communication sent to the Borrower or its counsel by a Lenders’ Advisor), provided that such documents shall be treated as confidential information delivered on a “professional eyes only” basis in accordance with confidentiality agreements entered into between such Lenders’ Advisors and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the Borrower. As used herein, “Qualified Independent Director” shall mean (x) Jeffrey Leddy and (y) an individual who is not an Affiliate, or a current or former employee, officer, member, or partner of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, Searchlight, Nantahala or any holder or any Affiliate of any holder of the Borrower’s funded indebtedness or more than 5% of the Borrower’s common stock.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower and Administrative Agent’s entry into a mutually acceptable confidentiality agreement after the Effective Date shall be a condition precedent to the Borrower’s obligations with respect to deliveries and sharing of information to the Administrative Agent hereunder. Following the execution and delivery of such confidentiality agreement by each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted from time to time to make reasonable inquiries and deliver reasonable diligence requests to Rothschild & Co, Inc., in its capacity as a Lenders’ Advisor (“Rothschild”), and Rothschild shall be permitted to respond to such reasonable inquiries and requests so long as the delivery of such response and any corresponding written work product to the Administrative Agent is approved by the Ad Hoc

 

 

 

Group and otherwise does not vitiate any applicable protections, privileges and immunities of the Ad Hoc Group under applicable law.

 

SECTION 7.      Entire Agreement. This Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

SECTION 8.    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT, AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT, AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AMENDMENT OR THE AMENDED CREDIT AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

SECTION 9.      Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The jurisdiction and waiver of jury trial provisions set forth in Sections 10.15 and 10.16 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis.

 

SECTION 10.    Consent to Service of Process. Each party to this Amendment irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.02 of the Amended Credit Agreement. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Amendment to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

SECTION 11.     Severability. Any term or provision of this Amendment which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Amendment or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Amendment in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Amendment is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.

 

SECTION 12.    Loan Document. This Amendment constitutes a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 13.    Reaffirmation. Each of the undersigned Loan Parties (a) acknowledges all of its obligations, undertakings and liabilities under the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in each case as amended hereby or in connection herewith and such obligations, undertakings and liabilities (as so amended hereby), where applicable, are hereby reaffirmed and remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, (b) agrees that its grant of security interests pursuant to the Security Agreement is reaffirmed and remains in full force and effect after giving effect to this Amendment and secures all Secured Obligations (as in effect after giving effect hereto) and (c) acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Obligations, the Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations include, among other things and without limitation, the New Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loans and other Loans.

 

 

 

SECTION 14.   Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by fax, email or other electronic transmission (including in .pdf or .tif format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

 

SECTION 15.    Headings. The headings of this Amendment are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

 

SECTION 16.   Effect of this Amendment. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment or any exhibits hereto, (a) this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, in each case under the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (b) shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment or any exhibits hereto, each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents is hereby ratified and reaffirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided in this Amendment or any exhibits hereto, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, or constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents. This Amendment shall not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except to any extent amended or modified by this Amendment. Nothing implied in this Amendment shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any of the Loan Parties from the Loan Documents. From and after the Effective Date, all references to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document and all references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, be deemed to refer to the Amended Credit Agreement. Each of the Loan Parties hereby consents to this Amendment and confirms that all obligations of such Loan Party under the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party shall continue to apply to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

 

SECTION 17.    Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties hereto, each Lender and the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties hereto and each Lender.

(a)            Section 7.1(a) of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following proviso at the end thereof:

(a)           Such Note Party has the requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to enter into this Amendment. Such Note Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment. This Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Party, enforceable against such Note Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

 

(b)           The representations and warranties made by such Note Party set forth in the Note Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Date, after giving effect to this Amendment and the First Lien Amendment, as if made on and as of

(c)            Immediately after giving effect to this Amendment and the First Lien Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on and as of the Effective Date or will result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment.

SECTION 7. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT, AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT, AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AMENDMENT OR THE AMENDED PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 9. Consent to Service of Process. Each party to this Amendment irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 13.6(c) of the Amended Purchase Agreement. Nothing in any Note Document will affect the right of any party to this Amendment to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

SECTION 10. Severability. Any term or provision of this Amendment which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Amendment or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Amendment in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Amendment is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.

Shared Pursuant to NDA Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, we present Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as a measure of our performance. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its most comparable measure under GAAP, please see the table entitled “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” on the prior slides. Further, we note that Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein is defined and calculated differently than the “Consolidated EBITDA” definition in our senior secured credit agreement and in our second lien notes, which Consolidated EBITDA definition we use for financial-covenant-compliance purposes and as a measure of our liquidity. We have not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, primarily due to the variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, as not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation is available to us without unreasonable efforts. Adjusted EBITDA is a primary measure used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our financial performance and operating trends, including period to period comparisons, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary measures used by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors to establish the funding targets for (and subsequent funding of) our Annual Incentive Plan bonuses for our employees. We believe our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors both because it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by our management in their financial and operational decision-making and because our management frequently uses it in discussions with investors, commercial bankers, securities analysts and other users of our financial statements. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (net income (loss) before (a) interest expense (income), (b) income tax expense (benefit) and (c) depreciation and amortization), as further adjusted to exclude (when applicable in the period) (1) change in fair value of financial instruments, (2) other (income) expense, including (gains) losses from foreign-currency-transaction (gains) and from other investments, which include impairment charges relating to our joint ventures, (3) goodwill impairment expense, (4) stock-based compensation expense, (5) strategic-transaction, integration and realignment expenses (as described below), (6) auditor and third-party professional fees and expenses related to our internal-control deficiencies (and the remediation thereof) and complications in our audit process relating to our control environment, (7) (gain) loss on disposal and impairment of fixed assets, (8) non-ordinary-course legal expenses (as described below), (9) losses related to significant customer bankruptcies or financial distress (as described below) and (10) expenses incurred in connection with grounded aircraft resulting from orders, airworthiness directives and other regulations issued by U.S. and foreign civil aviation authorities.

Global Eagle Announces One-for-Twenty-Five Reverse Stock Split

Common stock to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at market open on April 16, 2020

LOS ANGELES, CA, April 15, 2020—Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (Nasdaq: ENT) (“Global Eagle,” the “Company” or “we”), a leading provider of media, content, connectivity and data analytics to markets across air, sea and land, today announced that the Company’s board of directors has approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-25, following the approval of the reverse stock split by the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting of Stockholders held on March 17, 2020.

Beginning with the opening of trading on April 16, 2020, the Company’s common stock will trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number, 37951D300. The Company’s trading symbol will continue to be “ENT.”

The objective of the reverse stock split was to enable the Company to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum $1.00 bid price requirement and maintain its listing on Nasdaq. The Company can regain compliance with the Nasdaq requirement by maintaining a closing bid price of $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days on or before May 4, 2020.

The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding from approximately 92,944,935 to approximately 3,717,797. The reverse stock split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s common stock, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below.

No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would have been entitled to a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split will instead receive a cash payment from the transfer agent in an amount equal to the fractional share multiplied by the closing price of our common stock the day before the reverse stock split became effective. The Company has chosen its transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”), to act as exchange agent for the reverse stock split.
