Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously reported, on December 27, 2013, CEN Holdings, Inc. (“CEN Holdings”), an entity controlled by Paul C. Kanavos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert F.X. Sillerman, and Brett Torino, each a greater than 10% stockholder of Circle Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”), delivered a letter to the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company in which CEN Holdings expressed its intent to acquire all of the Common Stock of the Company that they do not beneficially own for a purchase price of $0.03 per share pursuant to a short-form merger and related transactions (the “Proposal”).
On December 31, 2014, CEN Holdings delivered a letter (the “Letter”) to the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company withdrawing the Proposal.
In addition to the Proposal (prior to being withdrawn), the Board has been evaluating a liquidation or dissolution of the Company because it does not currently generate any revenue from its location-based entertainment line of business, which requires significant capital and financing, and it does not have any definitive funding commitments in place (or the ability to complete equity and/or debt financings) to fund short-term or long-term liquidity needs, including making cash capital contributions to the Orlando, Florida project in which the Company has a minority ownership interest to fund the project’s development costs in excess of those budgeted therefor. Thus far, the development costs for the Orlando, Florida project have significantly exceeded the budgeted costs therefor and, as a result, the Company is required to fund its ratable portion of such excess costs in order to maintain its minority ownership interest in the Orlando, Florida project. The Company is not able to fund its ratable portion of these excess costs and unless it does so, its minority ownership interest in the Orlando, Florida project will be significantly diluted in terms of ownership and value.
The foregoing description of the Letter is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Letter, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
