Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end of such Item 3:

As previously reported, on July 30, 2011, the Issuer, Radio Network Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the Issuer’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and Verge Media Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Verge”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of Verge with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger”). The Merger became effective on October 21, 2011. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Issuer filed an amended and restated charter with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Restated Charter”) providing for two authorized classes of common stock, of which one class was designated Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), and one class was designated Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”). Upon the effectiveness of the Restated Charter, each issued and outstanding share of Issuer common stock was reclassified and automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock without any further action on the part of the holders thereof (the “Reclassification”). As a result of such Reclassification, Gores acquired 17,212,977 shares of Class A Common Stock. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Triton Media Group, LLC (“Triton”), the sole stockholder of Verge, received 9,691.374 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer, par value $0.01 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) (representing all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock), and 34,237,638 shares of Class B Common Stock representing approximately 59% of the total outstanding common stock of the Issuer and approximately 59% of the combined voting power of the Issuer, in each case on a fully diluted basis.


CUSIP No. 961815305

   13D    Page 21 of 38 Pages

 

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by Gores Radio and Triton on December 31, 2012 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), Gores Radio sold 71,428 shares of Class A Common Stock to Triton for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00.

On February 28, 2013 Gores Radio and Triton entered into the Voting Agreement (as defined in Item 6).

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Restated Charter do not purport to be complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and form of Restated Charter, copies of which were previously filed with Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

See Item 4 and Item 6 for a further description of the Voting Agreement and the Restructuring Transactions (as defined in Item 4).

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The paragraph added to the end of the response to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, pursuant to Amendment No. 10 thereto, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following paragraph:

As previously reported, upon the effectiveness of the Restated Charter, the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “New Board”) was reduced from eleven members to nine members. Pursuant to the Restated Charter, the Issuer is initially entitled to designate three members of the New Board, one of whom must be independent under applicable stock exchange rules. Jonathan Gimbel and Mark Stone, employees of Gores, B. James Ford, a managing director of OCM, and Andrew Salter, an employee of OCM, and H. Melvin Ming, an independent director, were designated by the Issuer and became members of the New Board on October 21, 2011. Pursuant to the Restated Charter (i) at each meeting of stockholders or action by written consent in lieu thereof in which directors are to be elected, the holders of Class A Common Stock (voting as a separate class) are entitled to elect three of the nine members of the New Board, at least one of whom must be independent under applicable stock exchange rules (the “Class A Directors”) and the holders of Class B Common Stock (voting as a separate class) are entitled to elect all of the other members of the New Board, at least two of whom must be independent under applicable stock exchange rules (the “Class B Directors”) and (ii) until the third anniversary of the effective date of the Restated Charter, the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the Class A Common Stock (voting as a separate class) is required to approve a sale of the Issuer, subject to certain exceptions (the “Class A Sale Veto Right”). As a result, (x) so long as Gores beneficially owns a majority of the Class A Common Stock, Gores will have shares with voting power sufficient to elect the Class A Directors (y) so long as the Oaktree Reporting Persons beneficially own a majority of the Class B Common Stock, the Oaktree Reporting Persons will have shares with voting power sufficient to elect the Class B Directors and (iii) so long as Gores beneficially owns at least two-thirds of the Class A Common Stock, Gores will have shares with voting power sufficient to exercise the Class A Sale Veto Right.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end of such Item 4:

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2013, by and among the Issuer, the lenders party thereto, the administrative and collateral agents and the other parties thereto (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), the Issuer has agreed to consummate, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, certain Restructuring Transactions (as defined therein and as further described below), including the reclassification of the Issuer’s equity interests and the amendment and restatement of the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2, to reflect the terms of the Issuer’s reclassified equity interests (including the issuance of new equity securities of the Issuer in such reclassification).

The agreements referenced in clauses (vi)-(vii) above are referred to herein as the “Sponsor Agreements” and the parties thereto, other than the Issuer, as the “Sponsors.”

The effectiveness of each of the agreements described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the preceding paragraph is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Also, under such agreements the lenders party thereto will be granted certain corporate governance rights with respect to the Issuer.
