Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.


Dealer-Manager Agreement


On November 30, 2016, RMG Networks Holding Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Dealer-Manager Agreement (the “Dealer-Manager Agreement”) with Monarch Capital Group, LLC (“Monarch”), pursuant to which the Company engaged Monarch as the exclusive dealer-manager in connection with the Company’s planned rights offering (the “Rights Offering”). Pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Company will distribute at no charge, to holders of record of the Company’s common stock as of November 29, 2016, non-transferable subscription rights to purchase up to 7,741,909 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Rights Offering”), at a purchase price of $0.62 per share, all as to be set forth in a prospectus supplement filed on November 30, 2016, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Prospectus Supplement”).


Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Dealer-Manager Agreement, Monarch will provide assistance and advice to the Company in connection with the Rights Offering. The Company has agreed to pay Monarch a fee of 7% of the gross proceeds received by us in this offering from existing stockholders exercising their basic and over-subscription privileges, excluding all proceeds received from Donald R. Wilson Jr. or Gregory H. Sachs or parties related to them (including all of the Standby Purchasers (as defined below)). The Company has also agreed to indemnify Monarch and its affiliates against certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Monarch will not underwrite any of the securities to be issued in the rights offering and does not make any recommendation with respect to such securities.


A copy of the Dealer-Manager Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Dealer-Manager Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.


Standby Purchase Agreement


Also on November 30, 2016, the Company entered into a Standby Purchase Agreement (the “Standby Purchase Agreement”) with 2012 DOOH Investments LLC, DRW Commodities, LLC and Children’s Trust C/U The Donald R. Wilson 2009 GRAT #1 (collectively, the “Standby Purchasers”), which collectively own approximately 33.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (not taking into account an aggregate of 2,533,333 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying warrants owned by one of the standby purchasers). Pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement, subject to certain conditions, each Standby Purchaser has agreed to acquire from the Company, at the same subscription price offered to the Company’s stockholders in the Rights Offering, its pro rata portion of up to a maximum of 5,645,161 shares of common stock that are not subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of basic subscription privileges or over-subscription privileges provided for in the Rights Offering. In particular, each Standby Purchaser has agreed that, (A) if the Rights Offering is not fully subscribed for pursuant to the basic subscription privilege, prior to the allocation of any shares pursuant to the over-subscription privileges, it will purchase its pro rata portion of the lesser of (i) the number of shares offered in the Rights Offering but not subscribed for pursuant to the basic subscription privileges or (ii) (x) 4,645,161 shares (equaling approximately $2.88 million divided by the per share subscription price), less (y ) the number of shares, if any, subscribed for by the Standby Purchasers and any of their affiliates pursuant to the exercise of the basic subscription rights, and (B) if as a result of the exercise of the basic subscription rights, the foregoing purchases by the Standby Purchasers and the exercise of the over-subscription privilege by other stockholders, the gross proceeds to the Company would be less than approximately $4.8 million, the Standby Purchasers have agreed to buy additional shares such that the Company receives approximately $4.8 million in gross proceeds but in no event will the Standby Purchasers acquire more than $3.5 million in aggregate shares of common stock (including any shares acquired by the Standby Purchasers pursuant to the exercise of their basic subscription rights and any unsubscribed shares purchased by the Standby Purchasers prior to the allocation of unsubscribed shares to other stockholders that exercise their oversubscription privilege). If the Rights Offering is fully subscribed directly by stockholders then the Standby Purchasers will not purchase any of the Company’s shares pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement.


Each Standby Purchaser has represented in the Standby Purchase Agreement that it is an accredited investor and that it is acquiring shares of common stock pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement for its own account, as principal, and with no present intention of participating, directly or indirectly, in a distribution of the standby shares so acquired in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  In addition, the Standby Purchasers have agreed to a lock-up arrangement pursuant to which they agreed not to transfer or dispose of the shares purchased pursuant to their standby commitment, including by means of any hedging or short sale transactions, for a period of six months following the closing of the Rights Offering, subject to customary exceptions.


The Company has agreed in the Standby Purchase Agreement to enter into a registration rights agreement with the Standby Purchasers, prior to the closing of the standby purchase arrangements and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Standby Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company will agree to, as soon as practicable following the closing of the standby purchase arrangements, register all of the shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Standby Purchasers and their affiliates. The Company has also agreed in the Standby Purchase Agreement to indemnify the Standby Purchasers and their affiliates from any losses they may incur arising out of or related to the Rights Offering, the standby purchase arrangements or related matters, subject to certain exceptions.


The Standby Purchase Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including the consummation of the Rights Offering, the absence of any material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties, assets or prospects of the Company, and the Company’s execution and delivery to the Standby Purchasers of the registration rights agreement described above. The Standby Purchasers may terminate the Standby Purchase Agreement if the Company materially breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under the Standby Purchase Agreement and fails to cure such breach within five days of receiving written notice, or in the event of an incurable failure of a condition to close the Standby Purchase Agreement that cannot be unilaterally waived by the Company.


A copy of the Standby Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Standby Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.2.


Item 3.02.     Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.


The information set forth in Item 1.01 above under the heading “Standby Purchase Agreement” is incorporated herein by reference. The shares to be sold pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement were offered pursuant to the exemption from registration requirement of the Securities Act, afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction to accredited investors not involving a public offering.


Item 8.01.     Other Items.

 

On November 30, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing the commencement of the Rights Offering. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.8 hereto. In connection with the Rights Offering, the Company is filing items included as Exhibits 5.1, 10.1, 10.2 and 99.1 through 99.8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K for the purpose of incorporating such items as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-214043), to which the prospectus supplement dated November 30, 2016 relating to the Rights Offering is a part. The Company expects to utilize the net proceeds of the Rights Offering for general working capital purposes.

Addison, TX 75001

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:


We have acted as counsel to RMG Networks Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of (i) a Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-214043 (the “Registration Statement”), as amended, on October 11, 2016 and declared effective on November 2, 2016; (ii) the Prospectus Supplement, dated November 30, 2016 (the Prospectus Supplement ), of the Company, filed under Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act ) related to the issuance and sale by the Company of non-transferable subscription rights (the Subscription Rights ) to purchase up to 7,741,909 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Rights Shares ) and (iii) the current report on Form 8-K dated November 30, 2016 (the “Form 8-K”) pertaining to the offering of the Subscription Rights and Rights Shares (the “Rights Offering”) which includes this opinion letter as an exhibit and results in it being filed by the Company with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement by incorporation by reference. This opinion is being rendered in connection with the filing of the Prospectus Supplement. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Prospectus Supplement.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement, the base prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), the Prospectus Supplement, the form of subscription rights certificate, which evidences the Subscription Rights (the “Subscription Rights Certificate”), the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, both as currently in effect, minutes of meeting of the stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Company as provided to us by the Company, stock record books of the Company as provided to us by the Company and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions in the letter.

 

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

  

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

 

1.

The Subscription Rights, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Rights Certificate and in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, including the Base Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, will be validly issued and valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

 

2.

The Rights Shares, when issued and delivered against payment therefor, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Rights Certificate and in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, including the Base Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Our opinion is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America, and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction. No opinion is expressed herein with respect to the qualification of the Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of any state or any foreign jurisdiction.

 

It is understood that this opinion is to be used only in connection with the offer and sale of the Subscription Rights and the Rights Shares while the Registration Statement is in effect.

 

We are opining only as to matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters. This opinion is rendered as of the date hereof and is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions. We disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of these sources of law or subsequent legal or factual developments that affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.

The Rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 22, 2016, (the “ Expiration Date ”). The Company shall have the right to extend the Expiration Date for up to an additional 30 trading days in its sole discretion.


(e)

All funds from the exercise of Basic Subscription Rights and Over-Subscription Rights will be deposited with Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., as the subscription agent (the “ Subscription Agent ”), and held in a segregated account with the Subscription Agent pending a final determination of the number of Rights Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Basic Subscription Rights and Over-Subscription Rights.

Indemnification and Contribution .


(a)

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer-Manager and its affiliates and any officer, director, employee or agent of Monarch or any such affiliates and any Person controlling (within the meaning of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) the Dealer-Manager or any of such affiliates (collectively, the “ Indemnified Parties ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses and actions (including shareholder actions, in respect thereof) whatsoever, under the Securities Act or otherwise (as incurred or suffered and including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any lawsuit, claim or other proceeding, commenced or threatened, whether or not resulting in any liability, which legal or other expenses shall be reimbursed by the Company promptly after receipt of any invoices therefore from the Dealer-Manager), (A) arising out of or based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Offer Documents or any amendment or supplement thereto, in any other solicitation material used by the Company or authorized by it for use in connection with the Rights Offering, or in any blue sky application or other document prepared or executed by the Company (or based on any written information furnished by the Company) specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Rights or the Rights Shares under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction (any such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “ Blue Sky Application ”) or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any such document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Dealer-Manager Information), (ii) any withdrawal or termination by the Company of, or failure by the Company to make or consummate, the Rights Offering, (iii) any actions taken or omitted to be taken by an indemnified party with the consent of the Company or in conformity with actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or (iv) any failure by the Company to comply with any agreement or covenant, contained in this Agreement or (B) arising out of, relating to or in connection with or alleged to arise out of, relate to or be in connection with, the Rights Offering, any of the other transactions contemplated thereby or the performance of Monarch’s services to the Company with respect to the Rights Offering.  The Company will not be liable to any Indemnified Party under the foregoing indemnification and reimbursement provisions, (i) for any settlement by an Indemnified Party effected without its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); or (ii) to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the Dealer-Manager’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its security holders or creditors related to or arising out of the engagement of the Dealer-Manager pursuant to, or the performance by the Dealer-Manager of the services contemplated by, this Agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the Dealer-Manager’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.


(b)

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any intention or threat to commence an action, suit or proceeding or notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company pursuant hereto, promptly notify the Company in writing of the same. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party notifies the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company may elect to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party.  Within 15 days following receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party or the receipt of such claim, the Company will notify the Dealer-Manager that the Company will assume control of the defense.  An Indemnified Party may employ counsel to participate in the defense of any such action provided, that the employment of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense, unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, or that a conflict or potential conflict exists (based upon advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party) between the Indemnified Party and the Company that makes it impossible or inadvisable for counsel to the Indemnifying Party to conduct the defense of both the Company and the Indemnified Party (in which case the Company will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), or (iii) the Company has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the action, suit or proceeding, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of the Company; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay fees and expenses for



13



more than one firm of attorneys representing Indemnified Parties unless the defense of one Indemnified Party is unique or separate from that of another Indemnified Party subject to the same claim or action. Any failure or delay by an Indemnified Party to give the notice referred to in this paragraph shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s right to be indemnified hereunder, except to the extent that such failure or delay causes actual harm to the Company, or prejudices its ability to defend such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party.


(c)

If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing paragraph is judicially determined to be unavailable (other than in accordance with the terms hereof) to any Indemnified Party otherwise entitled to indemnity in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then, in lieu of indemnifying such person hereunder, whether or not the Dealer-Manager is the person entitled to indemnification or reimbursement, the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (and expenses relating thereto) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and the Dealer-Manager, on the other hand, of the Rights Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided for in clause (i) above is not available, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in such clause (i) but also the relative fault of each of the Company and the Dealer-Manager, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided , however , in no event shall the Dealer-Manager’s aggregate contribution to the amount paid or payable exceed the aggregate amount of fees actually received by the Dealer-Manger under this Agreement.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the relative benefits to the Company and to the Dealer-Manager of the engagement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or contemplated to be paid or received or contemplated to be received by the Company in the Rights Offering, whether or not the Rights Offering is consummated, bears to (b) the fees paid or to be paid to the Dealer-Manager under this Agreement.


(d)

The Company also agrees that neither the Dealer-Manager, nor any other Indemnified Party, shall have any liability to the Company for or in connection with the Dealer-Manager’s engagement as Dealer-Manager, except for any such liability for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Company which are finally judicially determined to have resulted primarily from the Dealer-Manager’s bad faith, willful misconduct, or gross negligence.  The foregoing agreement shall be in addition to any rights that the Dealer-Manager, the Company or any Indemnified Party may have at common law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any right to contribution.  For the sole purpose of enforcing and otherwise giving effect to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to personal jurisdiction and service and venue in any court in which any claim which is subject to this agreement is brought against the Dealer-Manager or any other indemnified party.


(e)

The Company agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Dealer-Manager, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Dealer-Manager is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) relates solely to the payment of monetary damages and does not include any admission of liability on the part of MCG, and (ii) includes an unconditional release, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Dealer-Manager, releasing the Dealer-Manager from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.


(f)

In the event that an Indemnified Party is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Company in which such Indemnified Party is not named as a defendant, the Company agrees to promptly reimburse the Dealer-Manager on a monthly basis for all expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with such Indemnified Party’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel.


(g)

If multiple claims are brought, and indemnification is permitted under applicable law and provided for under this Agreement with respect to at least one of such claims, the Company agrees that any judgment or arbitration award shall be conclusively deemed to be based on claims as to which indemnification is permitted and provided for, except to the extent the judgment or arbitrate award expressly states that it, or any portion thereof, is based solely on a claim as to which indemnification is not available.


12.

Effective Date of Agreement; Termination .


(a)

This Agreement shall become effective upon the later of the time on which the Dealer-Manager shall have received notification of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and the time which this Agreement shall have been executed by all of the parties hereto.


(b)

This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the consummation, termination or withdrawal of the Rights Offering, and (b) the withdrawal by the Dealer-Manager pursuant to Section 4.



14




13.

Survival of Certain Provisions .  The agreements contained in Sections 3, 6, 7, 11 and 13 through 21 hereof and the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company contained in Section 5 hereof shall survive the consummation of or failure to commence the Rights Offering and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party; provided, that the Company’s obligations under Section 7 to reimburse the Dealer Manager for accountable expenses are subject to FINRA Rule 5110 (f)(2)(D) in that such expenses are only reimbursable to the extent actually incurred.

The Company’s authorized capital consists of [_____________________].

The issue and sale of the Rights and Rights Shares to be sold by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statement, the execution of the Dealer-Manager Agreement by the Company and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of the Dealer-Manager Agreement and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument, included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or as an exhibit to any other registration statement or report filed by the Company with the Commission, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws (or other organizational documents) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their properties; and no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is required for the issue and sale of the Rights and Rights Shares to be sold by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statement or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Dealer-Manager Agreement, except the registration under the Securities Act of the Rights and Rights Shares and such consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications as may be required under state securities or blue sky laws, as to which we express no opinion.


6.

Other than as set forth in the Registration Statement, the Offer Documents and the Prospectus, to our knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, individually or in the aggregate, would have or may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the general affairs, business, prospects, management, financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, or would prevent or impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Dealer-Manager Agreement , or which are required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Offer Documents and the Prospectus; and, to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated by governmental authorities or others.


7.

The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Rights as contemplated herein and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as described in the Registration Statement, the Offer Documents and the Prospectus, will not be an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.


8.

Wilson and/or one or more members of his immediate family or (y) any affiliate of such Standby Purchaser or any charitable organization formed by such Standby Purchaser or any of its affiliates, provided, in any such case, that the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this paragraph prior to such transfer; (b) transfer Standby Shares to partners, members, stockholders or beneficiaries of the Standby Purchaser, provided that (y) the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Section 7(f) prior to such transfer and (z) such transfer does not involve a disposition for value.  Furthermore, the restrictions contained in this Section 7(f) shall not apply to any transfers, sales, tenders or other dispositions of Standby Shares pursuant to a tender offer for Common Stock of the Company or any merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company or its securities.


(g)

    Rule 144 .

9



to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Standby Purchaser, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act), and will use commercially reasonable efforts to take such further action as such Standby Purchaser may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Standby Purchasers to sell Standby Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 of the Securities Act.


(h)

    Registration Rights Agreement . At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “ Registration Rights Agreement ”) with the Standby Purchasers, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Standby Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company shall agree to, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, register all of the shares held by the Standby Purchasers and/or their respective Affiliates, including all shares of Common Stock held by the Standby Purchasers and/or their respective Affiliates as of the date hereof.  Such Agreement shall provide for demand and “piggyback” registration rights, including with respect to underwritten offerings.


(i)

(j)

    Legend Removal .  Certificates evidencing any of the Standby Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 3(h) hereof), (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Standby Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Standby Shares, or in the event a Standby Purchaser provides customary representations and covenants that such Standby Shares are being sold, pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Standby Shares are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions thereunder, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission).  The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent if required by the transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder.  The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 7(j) , it will, no later than the earlier of (X) three (3) business days and (Y) the number of business days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Standby Purchaser to the Company or the transfer agent of a certificate representing Standby Shares bearing a restrictive legend (the “ Legend Removal Date ”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Standby Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  The Company shall not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3(h) hereof.  Certificates for Standby Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to a Standby Purchaser by crediting the account of such Standby Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System (“ DTC ”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system as directed by such Standby Purchaser.  As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of business days, on the Company’s primary trading market with respect to the Common Stock (which as of the date of this Agreement is the NASDAQ Capital Market) as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing the applicable Standby Shares (or the date of crediting such Standby Shares with DTC, as applicable), as the case may be, issued without a restrictive legend.


8.

Indemnification, Contribution .


(a)

   Whether or not the Rights Offering, the Closing or the other transactions contemplated hereby are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company (in such capacity, the “ Indemnifying Party ”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Standby Purchaser and each Affiliated Purchaser, their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, partners, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons, heirs, trustees, beneficiaries, successors and assigns, as applicable (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,



11



liabilities, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, joint or several (“ Losses ”) incurred by such Indemnified Person or to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (“ Proceedings ”) arising out of or relating to the Rights Offering, the Standby Offering, this Agreement, the Registration Statement, or the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or the transactions contemplated by any of the foregoing and shall reimburse such Indemnified Persons for any reasonable legal fees and expenses or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any of the foregoing; provided that the foregoing indemnification will not apply to Losses to the extent that they resulted from (i) statements or omissions in the  Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon or in conformity with information relating to such Indemnified Person furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person expressly for use in the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the material breach of this Agreement by a Standby Purchaser or an Affiliated Purchaser. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person (except as set forth in the proviso to the immediately preceding section) or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and such Indemnified Person on the other hand as well as any relevant equitable considerations.


(b)

   Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any Proceedings with respect to which the Indemnified Person may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such Proceedings are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person; provided that if the defendants in any such Proceedings include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Person shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Proceedings on behalf of such Indemnified Person. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election so to assume the defense of such Proceedings and approval by such Indemnified Person of counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person thereafter in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one firm of counsel, plus local counsel, in any jurisdiction representing the Indemnified Person), (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Proceedings or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person.


11.

Entire Agreement . This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the Standby Purchasers and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.


12.

Third Party Beneficiary . This Agreement is for the benefit only of the parties hereto, and for purposes of Section 10 the Indemnified Persons, and no other party may assert or enforce any rights derived from this agreement.


13.

Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (other than its rules of conflict of laws to the extent the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby).


14.

Amendments . This Agreement may be modified or amended only with the written consent of the Company and all of the Standby Purchasers.


15.

Severability . If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.


16.

Modification of Rights Offering . The Company may (a) waive irregularities in the manner of the exercise of the Rights, or (b) waive conditions relating to the method of the exercise of the Rights, in each case without the consent of the Standby Purchasers.



12




17.

Assignment .  Except as provided Section 2(f) of this Agreement, neither party hereto shall have the right to assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party.


18.

Counterparts; Electronic Delivery .  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Electronic transmission of a “pdf” of a counterpart signature page hereto shall have the same effect as personal delivery of a manually executed original signature page hereto.


19.

Interpretative Matters.  Unless the context otherwise requires, (i) all references to Sections, Schedules, Annexes or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules, Annexes or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (ii) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP, (iii) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, (iv) the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation and (v) the word “or” shall not be exclusive.


21.

Independent Nature of Standby Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights .  The obligations of each Standby Purchaser under this Agreement and with respect to the Standby Offering  are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Standby Purchaser, and no Standby Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Standby Purchaser under any this Agreement or with respect to the Standby Offering.  The decision of each Standby Purchaser to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement or in the Rights Offering has been made by such Standby Purchaser independently of any other Standby Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Standby Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Standby Purchaser, and no Standby Purchaser or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Standby Purchaser (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Standby Purchaser pursuant thereto or with respect to the Rights Offering, shall be deemed to constitute the Standby Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Standby Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Rights Offering.  Each Standby Purchaser acknowledges that no other Standby Purchaser has acted as agent for such Standby Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Standby Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Standby Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder.  Each Standby Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Standby Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding or action for such purpose.

Exhibit 99.2


RMG NETWORKS HOLDING CORPORATION
15301 North Dallas Parkway, Suite 500

Addison, TX 75001

November 30, 2016

Dear Common Stock holder:


Enclosed are the prospectus supplement, dated November 30, 2016 (as the same may be amended, the “Prospectus Supplement”), and other materials relating to the rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) by RMG NETWORKS HOLDING CORPORATION (the “Company”) to the holders of record of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”, such record holders of the Company’s Common Stock, the “Record Holders”). Record Holders as of November 29, 2016 (the “Record Date”) will receive at no charge non-transferable subscription rights (the “Subscription Rights”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,741,909 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) at a subscription price of $0.62 per Share (the “Subscription Price”) for up to aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $4.8 million. Each Record Holder will receive 0.20991 of a Subscription Right for each share of the Common Stock that such Record Holder owned on the Record Date. Each whole Subscription Right will entitle the Record Holder to purchase one Share at the Subscription Price (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”).


Please carefully review the Prospectus Supplement and other materials and the instructions below, which describe how you can participate in the Rights Offering. You will be able to exercise your Subscription Rights to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock only during a limited period. You will find answers to some frequently asked questions about the Rights Offering in the Prospectus Supplement. The exercise of Subscription Rights is irrevocable. Neither the Company, its board nor the dealer-manager is making any recommendation regarding your exercise of the Subscription Rights. The Subscription Rights will not be listed for trading or quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Market or on any other stock exchange or market.


The Rights Offering is expected to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 22, 2016 (the “Expiration Date”), subject to extension and earlier termination. After the Expiration Date, unexercised Subscription Rights will be null and void. The Company will not be obligated to honor any purported exercise of the Subscription Rights received by Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. (the “Subscription Agent”) after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, regardless of when the documents relating to such exercise were sent.


There is no minimum number of Shares you must purchase. If you exercise your Basic Subscription Privilege in full, you may also subscribe for additional Shares that remain unsubscribed at the Expiration Date at the same Subscription Price (the “Oversubscription Privilege”), subject to certain limitations (including the allocation of certain Shares not subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege to certain standby purchasers) described in the Prospectus Supplement. If an insufficient number of Shares are available to fully satisfy all Oversubscription Privilege exercises, the available Shares will be allocated proportionately among those who exercise their Oversubscription Privilege based on the number of Shares each such person subscribed for under the Basic Subscription Privilege. See “ The Rights Offering — Oversubscription Rights ” in the Prospectus Supplement.


The number of Subscription Rights to which you are entitled is printed on the face of your Subscription Rights Certificate. You should indicate your wishes with regard to the exercise of your Subscription Rights by completing the appropriate portions of your Subscription Rights Certificate and/or Beneficial Owner Election Form and returning it to the Subscription Agent in the envelope provided pursuant to the procedures described herein.


YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATE (OR NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY) AND SUBSCRIPTION PRICE PAYMENT FOR EACH SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT THAT IS EXERCISED PURSUANT TO THE BASIC SUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGE PLUS THE FULL SUBSCRIPTION PRICE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBSCRIBED FOR PURSUANT TO THE OVERSUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGE, BY CASHIER’S OR CERTIFIED CHECK DRAWN ON A U.S. BANK, U.S. POSTAL MONEY ORDER OR BY WIRE TRANSFER OF IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS, MUST BE ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT, PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE. ONCE A RECORD HOLDER HAS EXERCISED THE BASIC SUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGE AND THE OVERSUBSCRIPTION PRIVILEGE, SUCH EXERCISE MAY NOT BE REVOKED. SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE, AS EXTENDED, OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING WILL EXPIRE.





1. Method of Exercise and Payment.


Subscriptions by Record Holders


A record holder is a holder of our Common Stock whose shares are registered in his, her or its name. To exercise your Subscription Rights, complete your Subscription Rights Certificate and send the properly completed and executed Subscription Rights Certificate evidencing such Subscription Rights, with any signatures required to be guaranteed so guaranteed, together with payment in full of the Subscription Price for each Share subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and the Oversubscription Privilege, to the Subscription Agent so that it will be actually received by the Subscription Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. Payment of the Subscription Price for the Basic Subscription Privilege and the Oversubscription Privilege will be held in a segregated account to be maintained by the Subscription Agent until the Shares are issued.  All payments must be made in U.S. dollars for the full number of Shares being subscribed for by a cashier’s check or certified check drawn on a U.S. bank, or U.S. Postal money order, payable to “Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. (acting as subscription agent for RMG Networks Holding Corporation)” or by wire transfer of immediately available funds directly to the account maintained by Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. as agent for RMG Networks Holding Corporation, for purposes of accepting subscriptions in the Rights Offering, at U.S. Bank, 800 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN 55402 United States, Beneficiary Account Name: Broadridge , Account Number: 153910728465, ABA/Routing number: 123000848, with reference to the Subscription Rights holder’s name.  Please reference your Subscription Rights Certificate Number on your check.


The Subscription Rights Certificate (or, if applicable, Notice of Guaranteed Delivery as described below) and payment of the Subscription Price (unless submitted by wire transfer) must be delivered to the Subscription Agent by hand, mail or overnight courier to the following address:

If you wish to exercise your Subscription Rights, but you do not have sufficient time to deliver your Subscription Rights Certificate to the Subscription Agent on or prior to the Expiration Time, you may cause a written guarantee substantially in the form of Annex A to these instructions (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery”), from a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or from a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or from a bank, shareholder, savings and loan association or credit union with membership in an approved signature guarantee medallion program, pursuant to Rule 17Ad-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (each, an “Eligible Institution”), to be received by the Subscription Agent on or prior to the Expiration Time, together with payment in full of the applicable subscription price.

your guarantee that you will deliver to the subscription agent your Rights Certificate(s) evidencing the Rights you are exercising within three (3) business days following the date of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

 

If this procedure is followed, the properly completed Rights Certificate(s) evidencing the Rights being exercised must be received by the subscription agent within three (3) over-the-counter (“OTC”) trading days following the date of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered to the subscription agent in the same manner as Rights Certificates at the address set forth above. Additional copies of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be obtained upon request from the Subscription Agent at the address or phone number set forth above.






Subscriptions by Beneficial Owners


A beneficial owner is a holder of our Common Stock whose shares are registered in the name of a broker, custodian bank or other nominees. In such case, the broker, custodian bank or other nominees is the record holder of the Subscription Rights. To exercise your Subscription Rights, instruct your broker, custodian bank or other nominee to exercise your rights and deliver all documents and payment in full of the Subscription Price on your behalf for each Share subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and the Oversubscription Privilege, to the Subscription Agent so that it will be actually received by the Subscription Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.


By making arrangements with your broker, custodian bank or other nominee for the delivery of funds on your behalf, you may also request such broker, custodian bank or other nominee to exercise the Rights Certificate on your behalf.


2. Issuance of Common Stock.


Following the receipt of a properly completed and executed Subscription Rights Certificate, together with the payment of the Subscription Price for the Shares subscribed for, and promptly after all  pro rata  allocations and adjustments contemplated by the terms of the Rights Offering have been effected, the following deliveries and payments will be made to the address shown on the face of your Subscription Rights Certificate, or, if you hold your shares in book-entry form, such deliveries and payments will be in the form of a credit to your account:


a.

Basic Subscription Privilege :  The Subscription Agent will deliver to each exercising Record Holder who validly exercises the Basic Subscription Privilege each Share subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege. See “ The Rights Offering — Basic Subscription Rights ” in the Prospectus Supplement.

b.

Oversubscription Privilege :  The Subscription Agent will deliver to each Record Holder who validly exercises the Oversubscription Privilege each Share, if any, allocated to such Record Holder pursuant to the Oversubscription Privilege. See “ The Rights Offering — Oversubscription Rights ,” “ The Rights Offering – Standby Commitment ” and “ The Rights Offering — Special Limitations on Subscription Amount ” in the Prospectus Supplement.

c.

Excess Cash Payments :  The Subscription Agent will mail to each Record Holder who exercises a Subscription Right any excess amount, without interest or deduction, received in payment of the Subscription Price for Shares that are subscribed for by such Record Holder.


3. Sale, Transfer or Assignment of Subscription Rights.


Subscription Rights may not be sold, transferred or assigned; provided, however, that Subscription Rights are transferable to an affiliate of the holder or by operation of law (for example, the transfer of Rights to the estate of a recipient upon the recipient’s death).


4. Commissions, Fees and Expenses.


The Company will pay all fees and expenses of the Subscription Agent related to its acting in such role in connection with the Rights Offering. You are responsible for paying any other commissions, fees, taxes or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of Subscription Rights or subscribing for Shares. Neither the Subscription Agent nor the Company will pay such expenses.


5. Execution.


a.

Execution by Registered Holder .  The signature on the Subscription Rights Certificate must correspond with the name of the Record Holder exactly as it appears on the face of the Subscription Rights Certificate without any alteration, enlargement or change whatsoever. Persons who sign the Subscription Rights Certificate in a representative or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a registered holder must indicate their capacity when signing and, unless waived by the Subscription Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, must present to the Subscription Agent satisfactory evidence of their authority so to act.

b.

Signature Guarantees .  If you are neither a Record Holder (or signing in a representative or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a Record Holder) nor an eligible institution, such as a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, your signature must be guaranteed by such an eligible institution.





6. Method of Delivery to Subscription Agent.


The method of delivery of Subscription Rights Certificates and payment of the Subscription Price to the Subscription Agent for each Share subscribed for will be at the risk of the holders of Subscription Rights. If sent by mail, we recommend that you send those certificates and payments by overnight courier or by registered first class mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, and that a sufficient number of days be allowed to ensure delivery to the Subscription Agent and clearance of payment prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date.


7. Special Provisions Relating to the Delivery of Subscription Rights through the Depository Trust Company.


In the case of Subscription Rights that are held of record through the Depository Trust Company (the “Book-Entry Transfer Facility”), exercises of Subscription Rights under the Basic Subscription Privilege and the Oversubscription Privilege may be effected by instructing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer Subscription Rights from the Book-Entry Transfer Facility account of such holder to the Book-Entry Transfer Facility account of the Subscription Agent, together with certification as to the aggregate number of Subscription Rights exercised and the number of Shares thereby subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and the Oversubscription Privilege by each beneficial owner of Subscription Rights on whose behalf such nominee is acting, and payment of the Subscription Price for each Share subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and the Oversubscription Privilege.

  

Payments of the Subscription Price (unless submitted by wire transfer) should be mailed or delivered to the appropriate address (or, for wire transfer payments, to the appropriate account) as described under Section 1, “ Method of Exercise and Payment ” above.


8. Substitute Form W-9.


TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH IRS CIRCULAR 230, YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX ISSUES CONTAINED OR REFERRED TO HEREIN IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND CANNOT BE USED BY ANY TAXPAYER FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING U.S. FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX PENALTIES, (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTION OR MATTERS DISCUSSED HEREIN, AND (C) THE TAXPAYER SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.


Each holder who elects to exercise Rights should provide the Subscription Agent with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on Substitute Form W-9, a copy of which is being furnished to each holder. Additional copies of Substitute Form W-9 may be obtained upon request from the Subscription Agent at the address set forth above or by contacting Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the Information Agent. Failure to provide the information on the form may subject such holder to a $50.00 penalty for each such failure and to U.S. federal income tax backup withholding (currently at a 28 % rate) with respect to dividends that may be paid by the Company on shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of Rights (for those holders exercising Rights).


If you have any questions concerning the rights offering, please contact the information agent, Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the Information Agent, Attn: BCIS IWS, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, by telephone ((855) 793-5068) or by email (shareholder@broadridge.com).

Exhibit 99.3


RMG NETWORKS HOLDING CORPORATION

UP TO 7,741,909 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF NON-TRANSFERABLE RIGHTS
TO SUBSCRIBE FOR SUCH SHARES


THE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS ARE EXERCISABLE UNTIL 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME,
ON DECEMBER 22, 2016, SUBJECT TO EXTENSION OR EARLIER TERMINATION.


November 30, 2016


To Securities Dealers, Commercial Banks,
Trust Companies and Other Nominees:


This letter is being distributed to securities dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees in connection with the rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) by RMG Networks Holding Corporation (the “Company”) of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, pursuant to non-transferable subscription rights (the “Rights”) distributed to all holders of record of shares of Common Stock on November 29, 2016 (the “Record Date”).  The Rights and Common Stock are described in the accompanying offering prospectus covering the Rights and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon their exercise dated November 30, 2016 (the “Prospectus Supplement”).


In the Rights Offering, the Company is offering an aggregate of 7,741,909 shares of Common Stock, as described in the Prospectus Supplement.


The Rights will expire, if not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 22, 2016 (the “Expiration Date”), subject to extension or earlier termination.


As described in the Prospectus Supplement, each beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock registered in the name of such beneficial owner or the name of a nominee is entitled to 0.20991 of a Subscription Right for each share of the Common Stock that such Record Holder owned on the Record Date. Each whole Right allows the holder thereof to subscribe for one share of Common Stock (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”) at the cash price of $0.62 per share (the “Subscription Price”). For example, if a Rights holder owned 100 shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, it would receive 20 Rights and would have the right to purchase 20 shares of Common Stock for the Subscription Price per share.


If a Rights holder purchases all of the shares of Common Stock available to it pursuant to its Basic Subscription Privilege, subject to certain limitations (including the allocation of certain shares not subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege to certain standby purchasers) described in the Prospectus Supplement it may also exercise an oversubscription privilege (the “Oversubscription Privilege”) to purchase shares of Common Stock that are not purchased by holders through the exercise of their Basic Subscription Privileges at the Expiration Date (such shares, the “Unsubscribed Shares”). To the extent the number of the Unsubscribed Shares is not sufficient to satisfy all of the properly exercised Oversubscription Privilege requests, then the available shares will be prorated among those who properly exercised their Oversubscription Privilege based on the number of shares each rights holder subscribed for under the Oversubscription Privilege.


Each Rights holder will be required to submit payment in full for all the shares it wishes to buy with its Basic Subscription Privilege and its Oversubscription Privilege. Because the Company will not know the total number of Unsubscribed Shares prior to the Expiration Date, if a Rights holder wishes to maximize the number of shares it may purchase pursuant to the Rights holder’s Oversubscription Privilege, such holder will need to deliver payment in an amount equal to the aggregate Subscription Price for the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available to the Rights holder, assuming that no holders other than such Rights holder purchases any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and Oversubscription Privilege. Any excess subscription payments received by Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. (the “Subscription Agent”) will be returned, without interest or penalty, promptly after the termination of the Rights Offering.


The Company can provide no assurances that each Rights holder will actually be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of its Oversubscription Privilege in full. The Company will not be able to satisfy a Rights holder’s exercise of the Oversubscription Privilege if the Rights Offering is subscribed in full, and the Company will only honor an Oversubscription Privilege to the extent sufficient shares of Common Stock are available following the exercise of subscription rights under the Basic Subscription Privileges and following the standby purchasers’ purchase of certain shares of Common Stock as described in the Prospectus Supplement, subject to the limitations set forth below:





·

To the extent the aggregate Subscription Price of the maximum number of Unsubscribed Shares available to a Rights holder pursuant to the Oversubscription Privilege is less than the amount the holder of Rights actually paid in connection with the exercise of the Oversubscription Privilege, the Rights holder will be allocated only the number of Unsubscribed Shares available to it promptly after the Expiration Date, and the Rights holder’s excess subscription payment received by the Subscription Agent will be returned, without interest or penalty, promptly after the Expiration Date.

·

To the extent the amount the Rights holder actually paid in connection with the exercise of the Oversubscription Privilege is less than or equal to the aggregate Subscription Price of the maximum number of Unsubscribed Shares available to the Rights holder pursuant to the Oversubscription Privilege, such Rights holder will be allocated the number of Unsubscribed Shares for which it actually paid in connection with the Oversubscription Privilege.


The Rights will be evidenced by a non-transferable Rights certificate (the “Rights Certificate”) registered in the Rights holder’s name or its nominee and will cease to have any value following the Expiration Date.  


The Company is asking persons who hold shares of Common Stock beneficially and who have received the Rights distributable with respect to those shares through a broker, custodian bank, or other nominee, as well as persons who hold certificates of Common Stock directly and prefer to have such institutions effect transactions relating to the Rights on their behalf, to contact the appropriate institution or nominee and request it to effect the transactions for them. In addition, the Company is asking beneficial owners who wish to obtain a separate Rights Certificate to contact the appropriate nominee as soon as possible and request that a separate Rights Certificate be issued.


All commissions, fees and other expenses (including brokerage commissions and transfer taxes), other than fees and expenses of the Subscription Agent, incurred in connection with the exercise of the Rights will be for the account of the holder of the Rights, and none of such commissions, fees or expenses will be paid by the Company or the Subscription Agent.


Enclosed are copies of the following documents:


1. The Prospectus Supplement;


2. A letter to holders of the Rights as to the use of RMG Networks Holding Corporation Rights Certificates;


3. A form of letter which may be sent to your clients for whose accounts you hold shares of Common Stock registered in your name or the name of your nominee (including a Beneficial Owner Election Form), with an attached form of instruction (including a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery for Rights Certificates);


4. Nominee Holder Certification; and


5. A return envelope addressed to Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the Subscription Agent.


Your prompt action is requested. To exercise the Rights, you should deliver the properly completed and signed Nominee Holder Certification (or Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, if applicable), with payment of the Subscription Price in full for each share of Common Stock subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and the Oversubscription Privilege, to the Subscription Agent, as indicated in the Prospectus Supplement. The Subscription Agent must receive the Nominee Holder Certification (or Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, if applicable) with payment of the Subscription Price, including final clearance of any checks, prior to the Expiration Date. A Rights holder cannot revoke, change or cancel the exercise of its Rights. Rights not exercised prior to the Expiration Date will expire.


Additional copies of the enclosed materials may be obtained from Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the Information Agent. The Information Agent may be contacted by telephone ((855) 793-5068) or email (shareholder@broadridge.com). Any questions or requests for assistance concerning the rights offering should be directed to the Information Agent.


Very truly yours,



RMG Networks Holding Corporation

RMG NETWORKS HOLDING CORPORATION

UP TO 7,741,909 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF NON-TRANSFERABLE RIGHTS
TO SUBSCRIBE FOR SUCH SHARES


THE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS ARE EXERCISABLE UNTIL 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME,
ON DECEMBER 22, 2016, SUBJECT TO EXTENSION AND EARLIER TERMINATION.


To Our Clients:


We are sending this letter to you because we hold shares of RMG NETWORKS HOLDING CORPORATION (the “Company”) common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for you. The Company has commenced a rights offering of up to an aggregate of 7,741,909 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”) at a subscription price of $0.62 per Share (the “Subscription Price”) pursuant to the exercise of non-transferable subscription rights (the “Rights”) distributed to all holders of record of shares of the Common Stock as of November 29, 2016 (the “Record Holders”). The Rights are described in the Company’s prospectus, dated November 30, 2016 (as the same may be amended, the “Prospectus Supplement”), and evidenced by a rights certificate (the “Rights Certificate”) registered in your name or in the name of your nominee.


The Company has distributed 0.20991 of a Subscription Right for each share of the Common Stock that such Record Holder owned on November 29, 2016. Each whole Right entitles the Record Holder to purchase one Share at the Subscription Price (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”). Record Holders who exercise their Basic Subscription Privilege in full may also subscribe for additional Shares that remain unsubscribed at the Expiration Date at the same Subscription Price, subject to certain limitations (including the allocation of certain shares not subscribed for pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege to certain standby purchasers) (the “Oversubscription Privilege”). There is no minimum number of Shares any Record Holder must purchase, but Record Holders may not purchase fractional Shares, and we will round the number of shares issued down to the nearest whole number. Any excess subscription payment received by Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. (the “Subscription Agent”) will be returned promptly.


Each Rights holder will be required to submit payment in full for all the shares it wishes to buy with its Basic Subscription Privilege and its Oversubscription Privilege. If you wish to exercise your Oversubscription Privilege, you should indicate the number of additional Shares you would like to subscribe for in the space provided on the enclosed Beneficial Owner Election Form. When you send in that form, you must also send the full purchase price for the number of additional Shares that you have requested (in addition to the payment due for Shares purchased through your Basic Subscription Privilege). If an insufficient number of Shares is available to fully satisfy all Oversubscription Privilege requests, the available Shares will be allocated proportionately among rights holders who exercise their Oversubscription Privileges based on the number of Shares each such holder subscribed for under the Basic Subscription Privilege. To the extent you properly exercise your Oversubscription Privilege for an amount of Shares that exceeds the number of unsubscribed Shares available to you, any excess subscription payment received by the Subscription Agent will be promptly returned to you, without interest or deduction. We are (or our nominee is) the Record Holder of the Common Stock held by us for your account. We can exercise your Subscription Rights only if you instruct us to do so.


We request instructions as to whether you wish to have us exercise the Subscription Rights relating to the Common Stock we hold on your behalf, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus Supplement.


We have enclosed your copy of the following documents:


1. Letter to Subscription Rights holders from the Company;


2. Prospectus Supplement;


3. Base Prospectus; and


4. Beneficial Owner Election Form. 


The Subscription Rights will expire if not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 22, 2016, subject to extension and earlier termination (the “Expiration Date”). Any Subscription Rights not exercised prior to the Expiration Date will expire and will have no value. Any subscription for Shares made in the rights offering is irrevocable.





The materials enclosed are being forwarded to you as the beneficial owner of the Common Stock carried by us in your account but not registered in your name. Exercises of Subscription Rights may be made only by us as the Record Holder and pursuant to your instructions. Accordingly, we request instructions as to whether you wish us to elect to subscribe for any Shares to which you are entitled pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus Supplement. However, we urge you to read the Prospectus Supplement and other enclosed materials carefully before instructing us to exercise your Subscription Rights.


Your instructions to us should be forwarded as promptly as possible in order to permit us to exercise Subscription Rights on your behalf in accordance with the provisions of the rights offering prior to the Expiration Date.

If you wish to have us, on your behalf, exercise the Subscription Rights for any Shares to which you are entitled, please so instruct us by completing, executing and returning to us the “ Beneficial Owner Election Form ” included herewith.


If you have any questions concerning the rights offering, you may contact Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the Information Agent, by telephone ((855) 793-5068) or by email (shareholder@broadridge.com).

RMG Announces Commencement of Rights Offering


DALLAS, TX – 11/30/2016 – RMG Networks Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: RMGN) (“RMG” or the “Company”), a leading provider of technology-driven visual communications solutions, today announced that it has commenced a rights offering (“Rights Offering”) to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately $4.8 million. The Company has granted, at no charge to the holders of record of its common stock on November 29, 2016, the record date for the Rights Offering, 0.20991 of a non-transferable subscription right for each share of our common stock owned, as more fully described in the prospectus supplement relating to the Rights Offering. Each whole subscription right entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a subscription price of $0.62 per share. In addition, holders of subscription rights who fully exercise their basic subscription rights are entitled to oversubscribe for additional shares of common stock, subject to proration and to the extent available following the purchase of certain unsubscribed shares by standby purchasers pursuant to a standby purchase agreement described below.


Gregory H. Sachs, the Executive Chairman of RMG’s Board of Directors; Robert Michelson, RMG’s Chief Executive Officer and a director; and Jana Ahlfinger Bell, RMG’s Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, have advised the Company that they intend to participate in the Rights Offering although they have not entered into any agreement to do so.


The Company has entered into a standby purchase agreement with three existing stockholders (collectively, the “standby purchasers”), which collectively own an aggregate of approximately 33.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (not taking into account an aggregate of 2,533,333 shares of the Company’s common stock underlying warrants owned by one of the standby purchasers). Subject to certain conditions, the standby purchasers have agreed to acquire from RMG, at the same subscription price offered to its stockholders in the rights offering, a number of shares of common stock that are not subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of basic subscription privileges or over-subscription privileges up to a maximum of $3.5 million in gross proceeds.


The subscription offering is expected to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 22, 2016, subject to extension or earlier termination. The Company will not issue subscription rights to acquire fractional shares of its common stock but rather will round down the aggregate number of shares for which holders may subscribe to the nearest whole share.


The Company expects to utilize the net proceeds of the Rights Offering for general working capital purposes.


Shareholders who hold their shares directly will receive a prospectus (including a prospectus supplement), together with a letter from the Company describing the Rights Offering, a subscription rights certificate and an IRS Form W-9. Those wishing to exercise their rights should review all materials, properly complete and execute the subscription rights certificate and deliver it and payment in full to the subscription agent:

Holders of subscription rights whose shares are held in street name through a broker, custodian bank or other nominee must instruct their broker, custodian bank or nominee whether or not to exercise subscription rights on their behalf. Those wishing to obtain a separate subscription rights certificate should promptly contact their broker, custodian bank or other nominee with that request, although it is not necessary to have a physical subscription rights certificate to elect to exercise rights if shares are held in street name.


The Company has engaged Monarch Capital Group, LLC as dealer-manager for the Rights Offering.


A copy of the prospectus or further information with respect to the Rights Offering may be obtained by contacting Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the Information Agent, at (855) 793-5068.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements


This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "goal," "seek," "believe," "project," "estimate," "expect," "strategy," "future," "likely," "may," "should," "will" and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, the Company’s determination to consummate the rights offering, its ability to raise capital through the rights offering and its future financial performance and expected operating results, such as revenue growth, its ability to achieve profitability, its position within the markets that it serves, its ability to introduce new or improved products and services, its ability to better market its products and services, its efforts to grow its business and any implicit continuing improvement in financial performance.


Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: the Company's ability to complete the Rights Offering or otherwise to raise additional capital on satisfactory terms, or at all; success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, its management and other key personnel; the limited liquidity and trading volume of the Company's securities; the ability of the Company to maintain its Nasdaq listing; the competitive environment in the markets in which the Company operates; the risk that the anticipated benefits of acquisitions that the Company may complete, may not be fully realized; the risk that any projections, including earnings, revenues, margins or any other financial items are not realized; changing legislation and regulatory environments; business development activities, including the Company's ability to contract with, and retain, customers on attractive terms; the general volatility of the market price of the Company's common stock; risks and costs associated with regulation of corporate governance and disclosure standards (including pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); and general economic conditions.


Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this press release is based only on information currently available to it and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
