Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported, on September 9, 2022, Tuesday Morning Corporation (the
"Company"), Tuesday Morning, Inc. ("TMI"), certain members of management of the
Company (the "Management Purchasers"), TASCR Ventures, LLC (the "SPV" and,
together with the Management Purchasers, the "Purchasers"), a special purpose
entity formed by Retail Ecommerce Ventures LLC ("REV") and Ayon Capital, L.L.C.,
and TASCR Ventures CA, LLC, as collateral agent (the "Collateral Agent"),
entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 9, 2022 (the
"Original Note Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which TMI would issue $35
million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities to be guaranteed by the
Company and certain other subsidiaries of the Company and exchangeable for
shares of the Company's common stock. On September 20, 2022, the Company, TMI,
the Purchasers and the Collateral Agent entered into an Amended and Restated
Note Purchase Agreement (the "Note Purchase Agreement") to amend the Original
Note Purchase Agreement by providing that the debt securities would be issued
directly by the Company and convertible into shares of the Company's stock, and
guaranteed by TMI and certain other subsidiaries of the Company. The closing of
the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement occurred on
September 20, 2022.
Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the SPV purchased: (i) $7.5 million in
aggregate principal amount of a junior secured convertible note issued by the
Company (the "FILO C Convertible Note"); and (ii) $24.5 million in aggregate
principal amount of junior secured convertible notes issued by the Company (the
"SPV Junior Convertible Notes"). In addition, the Management Purchasers
purchased $3.0 million of junior secured convertible notes issued by the Company
(together with the SPV Junior Convertible Notes, the "Junior Convertible
Notes"). The FILO C Convertible Note and the Junior Convertible Notes are
referred to herein as the "Convertible Debt" and the issuance of the Convertible
Debt is referred to herein as the "Private Placement." The Convertible Debt is
guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries.
The Convertible Debt is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at
a conversion price of $0.077 per share. Accordingly, 415,584,415 shares of the
Company's common stock would be issuable upon conversion in full of the
Convertible Debt purchased by the SPV. In addition, 38,961,039 shares of the
Company's common stock would be issuable upon conversion in full of the
Convertible Debt purchased by the Management Purchasers. Because the Company
does not currently have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares
of common stock to issue upon conversion of all of the Convertible Debt, as
described below only a portion of the Convertible Debt can be immediately
converted into common stock. The remaining portion of the Convertible Debt
cannot be converted into common stock unless and until the Company's certificate
of incorporation is amended to increase the number of authorized shares of
common stock to permit such conversion and/or provide for a reverse stock split
of the common stock.
The Convertible Debt is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments for
structural events, such as splits, distributions, dividends or combinations, and
customary anti-dilution protections with respect to issuances of equity
securities at a price below the applicable conversion price of the Convertible
Debt. A portion of the Convertible Debt issued to the SPV was immediately
. . .
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 20, 2022, effective upon the closing of the Private Placement, the
agreement between the Company, Osmium Partners, LLC and Osmium Larkspur,
pursuant to which Osmium Larkspur was entitled to designate members of the
Company's board of directors (the "Director Agreement"), was terminated. The
Director Agreement had provided Osmium Larkspur with certain rights to appoint
members of the Company's board of directors. Termination of the Director
Agreement was a condition to the closing of the Private Placement.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into
this Item 2.03.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into
this Item 3.02. The issuance of the Convertible Debt pursuant to the Note
Purchase Agreement, together with the issuance of shares of the Company's common
stock upon conversion of the Convertible Debt, is a private placement to
"accredited investors" (as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D),
and is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) thereunder. No
underwriting discounts or commissions are payable as a result of the offer, sale
and issuance by the Company of the Convertible Debt. Piper Sandler, the
Company's placement agent for the transaction, received a placement fee of $2.5
million in connection with the Private Placement.
As discussed above, on September 20, 2022, the SPV elected to convert a portion
of the Convertible Debt into 90,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
Item 5.01 Change in Control of Registrant.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into
this Item 5.01. Upon the closing of the Private Placement, the SPV designated
five of the nine members of the Company's board of directors. See Item 5.02
below for additional information.
On September 21, 2022, the SPV elected to immediately convert a portion of the
Convertible Debt, and through such conversion acquired ownership of a majority
of the Company's outstanding common stock. Upon conversion in full of the
Convertible Debt and based on the Company's outstanding shares on a fully
diluted basis as of September 21, 2022, the SPV would own approximately 75% of
the fully diluted voting power of the Company's common stock (not including any
additional Convertible Debt that may be issued as a result of the Company being
required or electing to make in-kind payments of interest as described further
above).
The source of funds for the SPV's purchase of the Convertible Debt was cash
contributed to the SPV by REV and Ayon Capital. The SPV did not assume control
from any one individual stockholder or control group, and thus no disclosure is
required under Item 5.01(a)(6) of Form 8-K. Additionally, there is no
arrangement or understanding among the SPV and a former control group with
respect to the election of directors or other matters.
