Glu Announces Private Placement for Gross Proceeds of $13.5 Million
July 06 2010 - 4:05PM
Business Wire
Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:GLUU), a publisher of mobile games,
today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement for
the sale of common stock and warrants to ten existing stockholders
and ten new investors in a private placement for aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately $13.5 million. The closing of the private
placement is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing
conditions, including stockholder approval for the issuance of the
common stock and the warrants (including the issuance of common
stock upon full exercise of the warrants). As a condition of this
financing, certain of Glu’s stockholders, beneficially owning
approximately 50.2% of Glu’s outstanding common stock as of June
15, 2010, have entered into voting agreements with the lead
investor requiring them to vote their shares at a special
stockholders meeting in favor of this financing. Investors in this
financing include certain members of Glu’s board of directors
and/or their affiliates, including Greenway Capital (Matthew
Drapkin), GGV Capital (Hany Nada) and New Enterprise Associates (A.
Brooke Seawell).
Under the terms of the agreement, Glu has agreed to sell an
aggregate of 13,495,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00
per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,747,500 shares
of common stock which will become exercisable at an exercise price
of $1.50 per share commencing immediately after the closing of the
financing and at any time or from time to time on or prior to the
fifth anniversary of the closing. The exercise price of the
warrants will be adjusted for issuances of securities by Glu at
prices below the exercise price on a weighted-average basis.
The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws or an applicable exemption from those
registration requirements. Glu will be required, among other
things, to file a resale registration statement within 30 days
following the closing of the financing that covers the resale by
the purchasers of the shares and the shares issuable upon exercise
of the warrants.
“We are very pleased with the support of our stockholders in
this private placement,” stated Niccolo de Masi, Chief Executive
Officer of Glu. “The proceeds will significantly improve our
capital structure as well as enable us to continue to execute on
our new strategic plan of persistent, cross-platform mobile
games.”
Glu will file a Form 8-K with the SEC, which will include the
definitive documentation for the private placement.
