HandHeld Entertainment Amends Terms of Warrants Issued January 17, 2007
HandHeld EntertainmentÔ (NASDAQ: ZVUE, ZVUEW) today announced that it received a determination letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market on January 29, 2007, with regard to compliance with NASDAQ Rule 4350(i)(1)(D)(ii) (the “Rule”).
[ClickPress, Wed Jan 31 2007] The January 29, 2007 letter stated that as a result of an amendment to the company’s $4.00 warrants and related subscription agreements in connection with the HandHeld Entertainment’s recent sale of $3.8 million of Units on January 17, 2007, the company had “regained compliance” with the NASDAQ shareholder approval requirements. Prior to amendment of the $4.00 Warrants certain adjustment provisions could have resulted in issuance of shares of the company’s common stock in an amount requiring shareholder approval, in violation of NASDAQ’s interpretation of the Rule.
The amendment of the terms of the warrants has not resulted in any economic difference in the overall pricing of the warrants and the overall economic value of the transaction.
The company eliminated the provision contained in the $4.00 Warrant which requires an adjustment to the exercise price upon failure to timely act to register the underlying shares of HandHeld Entertainment’s common stock. As of January 29, 2007, the company entered agreements with each of the subscribers for the Units eliminating the provision from the $4.00 Warrants, and increasing the percentage adjustment upon the adjustment events provided for in the company’s $3.50 Warrants included in the sale of the Units.
The full text of the amended Warrants and Subscription Agreements appears as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 to the company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 30, 2007.
This release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer buy nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
