Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement; Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets; Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On January 1, 2008, Network CN Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary CityHorizon Limited, a Hong Kong company (CityHorizon Hong Kong), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with CityHorizon Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (CityHorizon BVI), Hui Zhong Lian He Media Technology Co., Ltd., a Peoples Republic of China (PRC) company and wholly-owned subsidiary of CityHorizon BVI (Lianhe), Beijing Hui Zhong Bo Na Media Advertising Co., Ltd., a PRC company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Lianhe, and Liu Man Ling, an individual and sole shareholder of CityHorizon BVI (the Seller) pursuant to which the Company, through its subsidiary CityHorizon Hong Kong, acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CityHorizon BVI from the Seller on January 1, 2008. Prior to this transaction, there was no material relationship between the Seller, CityHorizon BVI and any subsidiary of CityHorizon BVI and the Company or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of any director or officer of the Company.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company paid the Seller US$5,000,000 in cash and will issue to the Seller up to 1.5 million duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Companys common stock. The closing market price of the Companys common stock on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board on January 2, 2007 was $2.51.
The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price of the acquisition from the proceeds of the 3% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due June 30, 2011 issued to affiliated investment funds of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group in November 2007. The shares of Company common stock issued to the Seller will not be registered with the SEC and will therefore be restricted securities. The issuance of such shares will be made subject to an exemption from registration from Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Regulation S promulgated thereunder. The Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants typical of transactions of this type in the PRC. Consummation of the transaction is subject to conditions typical of transactions of this type in the PRC.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein.
