LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF MATOMY MEDIA GROUP LTD.
November 15, 2019
Dear Shareholder,
Proposed approval of an agreement for the Sale of the Company's Shares in Team Internet AG
The purpose of this document is to outline the background to and reasons for the proposed approval of a transaction for the sale of all Company share in Team Internet AG ("TI"), held by the Company through its subsidiaries (90%), to Centralnic Group PLC, whose shares are traded on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange (through a nominated owned subsidiary, the "Purchaser" or "CNIC"), as detailed below (the "Transaction"), and to explain why the Board considers the Transaction to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and why the Directors recommend that you vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting, which will be held at the registered offices of the Company at 08:00 (London time) / 10:00 (Tel Aviv time) on Monday, December 23, 2019 (the "Meeting").
Background
In the period spanning from mid-2017 through November 2018, the Company exited all of its data-driven advertising platforms with the exception of TI, which remained the sole material asset of the Company.
As of the third quarter of 2018, the Company announced in its financial statements that it requires additional capital in order to fund its liabilities and that there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain such required additional capital. In light of the above, the Company announced that it believes that these conditions raise substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
In the last year, the bondholders of (Series A) bonds of the Company have convened numerous bondholders meetings that on their agenda was a resolution with regard to a contingent demand of an immediate repayment of the bonds.
In order for the Company to act in a manner that is intended to address the interests of all stakeholders, the Company, with the blessing of the bondholders and Rainmaker, concentrated its effort to sell TI.
During such process, the Company received an offer and signed a letter of intent to sell all of its shares in TI (the "First Offer"), to a German Private Equity fund and to Rainmaker Investments GmbH ("Rainmaker"), the minority shareholder in TI (10%). However, a binding agreement was not reached and the potential purchaser has terminated the discussions with the Company and Rainmaker, due to certain circumstances, as further described in note 1(b)(ii) and 2(e) of the Company's financial statements for the period ending on March 31, 2019.
The Company continued to pursue the process of the sale of TI, to enable it to fully repay its debt to its bondholders and the Company's management has determinedly worked to find potential purchasers for TI.
The Company received several non-binding offers to sell all of its shares in TI. After considering such offers, on August 28, 2019, the Board has decided to proceed in facilitating due diligence and negotiating with the Purchaser, which offer, among others, was most favourable for the Company and its stakeholders. This Board decision was made after weighting, inter alia, the terms of the offers, the identity of the offerors', the feasibility of reaching a binding agreement with such offerors and whether under the current financial situation of the Company, the execution of the sale of TI according to the terms of the offers will enable the Company to fully meet its obligations.
Pursuant to the Board approval, on September 3, 2019, the Purchaser, the Company and Rainmaker have signed a Letter of Intent, detailing the main principals of the transaction.
Due to an efficient and focused negotiation process, on November 15, 2019 the parties have signed a binding agreement to sell to the Purchaser all the shares in TI, held by the Company through its subsidiaries (90%) and by Rainmaker (10%), which its main terms are set forth herein.
The financial effects of the Transaction
As part of the Transaction, the Company will fully repay its obligations to the bondholders (Series A), and all alleged obligations of the Company towards Rainmaker will be settled.
Following the completion of the Transaction, the Directors anticipate that the Company will have positive net assets (the Company's assets shall exceed its liabilities) and that it shall have sufficient funds to pay all liabilities as they fall due.
Conditions Precedent and Closing
The closing of the Transaction is subject to the following main conditions precedent (the "Conditions Precedent"):
- (i) receipt of required corporate approvals, including the Company's shareholders;
- (ii) receipt of the approval of the holders of the (Series A) convertible bonds of the Company.
- (iii) completion by the Purchaser of its proposed financing by means of a €40M bond issuance.
- (iv) there being no Material Adverse Changes prior closing.
If the Conditions Precedent are not satisfied by December 31, 2019 (which date may be extended in certain limited circumstances), then any party may terminate the agreement.
The Consideration
The total consideration to be paid for 100% of TI's shares shall be equal to the sum of €45,854,332 plus the Interest Amount (as defined below), and shall consist of the following (the "Purchase Price"):
(a) A cash payment of €39,554,332 (the "Cash Payment"), plus the Interest Amount1 that shall be paid on closing date.
1 An amount equal to interest in the amount of 9,098.63 per day shall be accrued for the period from September 30, 2019 up until the earlier of the closing date or December 31, 2019 (the "Interest Amount"). Assuming the closing shall occur on December 23, 2019, the Interest amount shall be equal to approximately €700K.
In addition to the Cash Payment, the Purchaser shall retain an amount of €900,000 retention (the "Retention Amount" 2 ). The Retention Amount will be fully released after 15 months period, less deductions for settled claims or for outstanding claims (which are supported by documents as specified in the agreement).
- (b) Issuance of shares in the capital of the Purchaser (with a value determined in accordance with the agreement of €2,700,000), on closing. Such shares shall be subject to a lock-up period of 12 months, plus an additional 6 month period during which any disposal must be approved by and coordinated with the Purchaser and its broker.
- (c) A deferred cash payment of €2,700,000 payable on the date that is 6 months following the closing.
As part of the Transaction, immediately prior to closing date, the Company will consummate the purchase of the remaining 10% stake of Rainmaker in TI in accordance with the share purchase agreement dated December 2017 between the Company and Rainmaker, by assigning to Rainmaker a portion of the consideration. Rainmaker shall be entitled to receive a total sum of €19,050,000: (i) a sum of € 16,508,190 out of the Cash Payment; (ii) shares of the Purchaser in the value of €1,087,350; (iii) a sum of €1,087,350 out of the deferred cash payment; (iv) a sum of € 367,110 out of the Retention Amount. Upon consummation of such purchase of the remaining 10% stake of Rainmaker in TI, no further claims between Rainmaker and the Company will exist and all alleged obligations of the Company towards Rainmaker will be settled. This will be confirmed in writing between the parties (the "Rainmaker Resolution").
The remaining amount of the Cash Payment (€23,046,142) and the Interest Amount, shall be paid to the trustee of the (Series A) convertible bonds (the "Trustee"). In addition, the Company shall transfer to the Trustee a cash amount of approximately €2.4M (which shall be deposited in an escrow account prior to closing and as a condition thereto), for the completion of full and immediate repayment of the Company's outstanding convertible bonds (NIS 101M) (principal and interest).
Break – up Fee
If the Purchaser's €40M bond issuance has not been completed prior the termination of the agreement because the Conditions Precedent were not satisfied by December 31, 2019, the Purchaser shall pay a break-up fee of €900k to the Company and Rainmaker. If the Purchaser's €40M bond issuance was completed prior to such termination, but certain other Conditions Precedent were not satisfied, a break-up fee of €900k will be payable to the Purchaser by the Company and Rainmaker
Warranties and Limitations
The Company and Rainmaker are severally giving customary fundamental guarantees, which the maximum liability of the Company and Rainmaker will be capped in all cases other than fraud, and shall not exceed the actual Purchase Price. In addition, the Company and Rainmaker are giving customary business warranties with respect to TI's business and activities, and the maximum liability for breach of such business warranties will not exceed the Retention Amount.
2 The Retention Amount shall be withheld by the Purchaser for a 15-month period, in order to secure the Company's and Rainmaker's payment obligations for claims under the agreement.
A warranty & indemnification insurance with a liability cap of US\$24M will be procured by the Purchaser.
The Company's plans
Following the completion of the Transaction, the Company shall examine the possible alternatives with regard to its listings on the High Growth Segment of the London Stock Exchange's Main Market and the Tel – Aviv Stock Exchange.
Related party transaction, personal interest and approval procedure
In light of the support letters provided by a few major shareholders (holding in the aggregate approximately 30% of the Company's voting share capital) of the Company and for cautionary reasons, and without taking a position by the Company with respect to the existing controversy regarding the interpretations of such support letters3 , the transaction shall be considered as an extraordinary transaction that a controlling shareholder has personal interest in (as such terms are defined in the Israeli Companies Law), and as such, shall be subject to the approval of the audit committee, the Board and the Company shareholders (by a majority of the non-interested shareholders).
On November 13 and 14, 2019 the audit committee and the Board approved and recommended the general meeting to approve the contemplated Transaction (including the Rainmaker Resolution). The audit committee approved the Transaction after determining that the competitive process that was conducted by the Board prior to advancing with the facilitation of the contemplated Transaction, as described above, is a sufficient process in such circumstance.
Reasons for the approval of the Transaction
The Company exited all of its data-driven advertising platforms with the exception of TI, which under the current financial situation of the Company, remained the sole material activity of the Company that the Company may dispose in order to fully meet its obligations.
In light of the Company's challenging situation and in light of the bondholders repeated claims for an immediate repayment, the audit committee and the Board are of the opinion that the best course of action for the Company in these circumstances was to pursue the process of the sale of TI.
The audit committee is of the opinion that the competitive process that was conducted by the board prior to advancing with the facilitation of the contemplated Transaction, is a sufficient process in such circumstance. The Board's decision that the Purchasers' offer was the most favourable for the Company and its stakeholders, was made after weighting, inter alia, the terms of the offers, the identity of the offerors', the feasibility of reaching a binding agreement with such offerors and whether under the current financial situation of the Company, the execution of the sale of TI according to the terms of the offers will enable the Company to fully meet its obligations. Furthermore, the audit committee is of the opinion that the results of such competitive process, in addition to the terms of the First Offer, has validated that the Transaction is on market terms.
The audit committee and the Board are of the opinion that the contemplated Transaction is in the best interest of the Company, since it will settle the claims of all of its stakeholder.
As part of the Transaction, the Company will fully repay its obligations to the bondholders (Series A).
10220352/7 3 For further details see note 1(c)(v) in the Company's financial statement for the period ending on June 30, 2019.
In addition and as part of the Transaction, the Company shall consummate the purchase of the remaining 10% stake of Rainmaker in TI in accordance with the share purchase agreement dated December 2017 between the Company and Rainmaker4 , by assigning to Rainmaker a portion of the consideration. Upon consummation of such purchase of the remaining 10% stake of Rainmaker in TI, no further claims between Rainmaker and the Company will exist and all alleged obligations of the Company towards Rainmaker will be settled.
The need to arbitrate the different claims with regard to the interpretations of the support letters that were provided to the Company by certain major shareholders shall become redundant, thus saving the Company time, litigation and resources.
Following the completion of the Transaction the Company will have a positive net asset (the Company's assets shall exceed it liabilities) and it shall have sufficient funds to pay all of its liabilities on due time.
Recommendation
The audit committee and the Board believe the approval of the proposed Transaction is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Board believes that if the proposed Transaction will not be approved it will materially harm the Company to successfully resolve its challenging financial situation.
Accordingly the audit committee and the Board have recommended that shareholders vote in favour of the Resolution to be proposed at the Meeting.
Yours sincerely,
Sami Totah, Chairman of the Board of Directors

The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to an instruction given to a previously appointed proxy, must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent ID (RA10) by 08:00 (London time) on Wednesday, December 18, 2019. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
- (j) CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers, should note that CREST does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will, therefore, apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member, or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting system providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
- (k) The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
- (l) Joint holders of shares should note that, pursuant to our Articles of Association in the case of joint shareholders, the vote of the senior-most of such shareholders who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, will be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other
joint shareholders, and for this purpose seniority will be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members of the Company in respect of the relevant joint holding.
-
- These procedures are subject to the provisions of the UK Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, and in the event of conflict with any other provisions, those set out in the UK Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001 will prevail.
-
- As of September 30, 2019 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this notice) the Company's issued share capital with voting rights comprised 98,478,339 Ordinary Shares of NIS 0.01 each.
-
- Members attending the meeting have the right to ask questions. The Company must cause to be answered any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting, but no such answer need be given if (i) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information, (ii) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (iii) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.
-
- Relevant materials will be available for inspection at the Company's Registered Office during normal business hours from the date of this Notice for at least 15 minutes prior to the Meeting and during the Meeting.
