Section 1 - Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 28, 2015, Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), Symantec Corporation (“Symantec”) and holders of the Company’s units consisting of secured convertible promissory notes, supplemental secured promissory notes and warrants entered into a confidential Settlement and Release Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, (i) the Company made a cash payment to Symantec and issued a promissory note to Symantec which is secured by the Company’s personal property, and (ii) the parties entered into a mutual release of claims. Further, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Symantec will file a request for dismissal with the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara (the “Court”) to dismiss with prejudice the litigation between the Company and Symantec that had been pending before the Court relating to the Master Services Agreement entered into by the Company and Symantec in June 2006, the statement of work entered into by the Company and Symantec in June 2008 and the Online Store Agreement for SMB and Midmarket Businesses entered into by the Company and Symantec in June 2010. The Company intends to file a redacted copy of the Settlement Agreement as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2015, and will be requesting confidential treatment from the Commission for certain portions thereof.
As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on July 21, 2014, on July 15, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors pursuant to which we agreed to issue units each consisting of (i) a secured convertible promissory note in the face amount of $1.00, (ii) a supplemental secured promissory note in the face amount of $0.50 and (iii) warrants to purchase up to four shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively, the “Financing Transaction”). On July 15, 2014, we completed an initial closing of the Financing Transaction for the sale of 2,550,000 units, representing gross proceeds to us of $2,550,000 and net proceeds of approximately $2,275,000 after deducting fees and estimated expenses payable by us. On August 12, 2014, we completed a second closing of the Financing Transaction for the sale of 450,000 units, representing gross proceeds to us of $450,000 and net proceeds of approximately $415,000. On August 22, 2014, we completed a third closing of the Financing Transaction for the sale of 90,000 units, representing gross proceeds to us of $90,000 and net proceeds of approximately $84,000.
On January 29, 2015, we completed a fourth closing of the Financing Transaction for the sale of 810,000 units, representing gross proceeds to us of $810,000 and net proceeds of approximately $780,000 after deducting fees and estimated expenses payable by us. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the fourth closing to make a cash payment to Symantec pursuant to the above-referenced Settlement Agreement and intends to use the balance of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
In connection with the fourth closing of the Financing Transaction, on January 29, 2015, the Company and holders of the Company’s units entered into a First Amendment to Purchase Agreement, Secured Convertible Notes, Promissory Notes, Security Agreement and Warrants and Waiver (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment amends the Purchase Agreement, the secured convertible promissory notes, the supplemental secured promissory notes and the warrants to, among other things, (i) reduce the non-default rate at which the secured convertible promissory notes and supplemental secured promissory notes accrue interest from 8% per annum to 5% per annum, (ii) extend the date on which the first quarterly interest payment under the secured convertible promissory notes and supplemental secured promissory notes is due from September 30, 2015 to March 31, 2016, and provide for capitalization of all interest accrued through December 31, 2015 under the secured convertible promissory notes and supplemental secured promissory notes, (iii) reduce the initial conversion rate at which the secured convertible promissory notes may be converted into common stock of the Company from $0.25 per share to $0.20 per share, (iv) reduce the exercise price of the warrants from $0.08 per share to $0.04 per share, and (v) issue additional warrants to purchase up to one (1) additional share of the Company’s common stock to each investor purchasing units in the fourth closing and/or consenting to the First Amendment, resulting in each investor participating in the fourth closing or otherwise consenting to the First Amendment receiving on an aggregate basis warrants to purchase up to a total of five (5) shares of the Company’s common stock for each unit purchased or otherwise held by such investor. In addition, pursuant to the First Amendment, the requisite majority of holders of the Company’s secured convertible promissory notes and supplemental secured promissory notes agreed to waive all existing events of default thereunder and rescind the acceleration thereof. The Company intends to file a redacted copy of the First Amendment as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2015, and will be requesting confidential treatment from the Commission for certain portions thereof relating to the above-referenced Settlement Agreement.

Key Investors Rally Behind Company
CAMPBELL, Calif. – January 29, 2015 – Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (OTCQX: RMKR) (“the Company”), a leading provider of external, for-profit based learning management solutions, today announced that it had reached terms with a major creditor to settle a lawsuit filed in September 2014.
The lawsuit, disclosed in an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 6, 2014, sought payment for amounts owing under a contract between the Company and creditor related to the Company’s former telesales and e-commerce business.
In conjunction, the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $780,000 to fund a settlement payment to the creditor and provide working capital for the Company’s growing ViewCentral™ SaaS Learning Management System (LMS) business. As part of the settlement, investors in the Company’s secured debt agreed to waive all existing events of default that had initially arisen in September 2014.

“We look forward to renewed engagement with the investor community in 2015 as part of laying the financial foundation for the growth of ViewCentral,” added Terry Lydon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rainmaker.
