Article I
THE MERGER

 

1.1 The Merger.

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into fuboTV, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease and fuboTV shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of FaceBank. fuboTV, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.” Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, FaceBank, Merger Sub and fuboTV shall cause the Merger to be consummated under the DGCL by filing a certificate of merger in customary form and substance (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”) in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. The time of such filing and acceptance by the Delaware Secretary of State, or such later time as may be agreed in writing by FaceBank and fuboTV and specified in the Certificate of Merger, is referred to herein as the “Effective Time.”

 

1.2 The Surviving Corporation of the Merger.

 

(a) Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

 

(i) Certificate of Incorporation. Subject to the terms of Section 7.7, at the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of fuboTV shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and such amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation shall become the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “fuboTV Inc.”

 

(ii) Bylaws. Subject to the terms of Section 7.7, at the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.

 

2
 

 

(b) Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

 

(i) Directors. At the Effective Time, the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of fuboTV immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

 

(ii) Officers. At the Effective Time, the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers of fuboTV immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly appointed.

 

1.3 General Effects of the Merger.

 

The effects of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of fuboTV and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of fuboTV and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

 

1.4 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock of the Merging Corporations.

 

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of capital stock of Merger Sub shall thereafter evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

 

(b) Capital Stock of fuboTV.

 

(i) Generally. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of FaceBank, Merger Sub, fuboTV, or the holders of any of the following securities, each share of fuboTV Capital Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than with respect to (A) cash payable in lieu of fractional shares, which shall be governed by Section 1.4(b)(ii), (B) Dissenting Shares, which shall be governed by Section 1.4(b)(iii), and (C) each share owned by FaceBank, Merger Sub, fuboTV or their Subsidiaries, which shall be governed by Section 1.4(b)(v)) shall be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive, the number of shares of the Stock Merger Consideration equal to the Stock Exchange Ratio, (x) upon the surrender of the certificate, if any, representing such share of fuboTV Capital Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.3(c) (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit in the manner provided in Section 2.3(e)) together with (y) a fully-completed and executed Letter of Transmittal (as defined in Section 2.3(c)).

 

(ii) Cash Payment in Lieu of Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, no fraction of a share of Stock Merger Consideration will be issued by virtue of the Merger, and in lieu thereof, each holder of record of shares of fuboTV Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of the Stock Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.4(b) (after aggregating all fractional shares of the Stock Merger Consideration that otherwise would be received by such holder of record) shall, upon the surrender of the certificate, if any, representing such share of fuboTV Capital Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.3(c) (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit in the manner provided in Section 2.3(e)), receive an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying such fraction by the Per Share Value.

 

3
 

 

(iii) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration provided for in Section 1.4(b)(i), but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Delaware Law. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of Delaware Law, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with Delaware Law (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i), in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and FaceBank shall deliver to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 2.3(c), following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.3(c), the number of shares of the Stock Merger Consideration and/or the amount of cash, if any, to which such holder would be entitled in respect thereof under this Section 1.4(b)(iii) as if such shares of fuboTV Capital Stock never had been Dissenting Shares. fuboTV shall give FaceBank prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or purchase received by fuboTV, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the fuboTV, and fuboTV and FaceBank shall mutually direct and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect thereto and shall mutually agree on any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settlement or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares.

 

(iv) [Intentionally Omitted]

 

(v) Owned Shares of fuboTV Capital Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of FaceBank, Merger Sub, fuboTV, or the holders of any of the following securities, each share of fuboTV Capital Stock that is owned by FaceBank, Merger Sub or fuboTV, or by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of FaceBank, Merger Sub or fuboTV, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

 

(vi) No Other Rights. From and after the Effective Time, all shares of fuboTV Capital Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of shares of fuboTV Capital Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the applicable consideration pursuant to this Section 1.4(b). All shares of Stock Merger Consideration issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of fuboTV Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (or, if applicable, the cash paid in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(ii), consideration in respect of Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(iii),), together with any dividends or other distributions paid in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d), shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of fuboTV Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of fuboTV Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a certificate representing shares of fuboTV Capital Stock is presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, then such certificate shall be canceled and exchanged for the applicable consideration in accordance with this Section 1.4(b), together with any dividends or other distributions payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(d).

(c) Stock Awards of fuboTV.

 

(i) Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each fuboTV Stock Award that is a stock option to purchase shares of fuboTV Common Stock (each a “fuboTV Stock Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable (each, an “Assumed Option”), shall be assumed by FaceBank and converted into an option to acquire that number of shares of FaceBank Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of fuboTV Common Stock subject to such fuboTV Stock Option by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share of FaceBank Common Stock. Each Assumed Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the respective fuboTV Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each Assumed Option shall have an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of fuboTV Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio (which price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). It is the intention of the parties that each Assumed Option that qualified as a United States-based incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall continue to so qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time.

 

(ii) Registration Statements for Assumed Options. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, FaceBank shall file a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-8 or another appropriate form (and use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness thereof and maintain the current status of the prospectuses contained therein) relating to shares of FaceBank Common Stock issuable with respect to the Assumed Options, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to remain in effect for so long as such Assumed Options remain outstanding.

 

1.5 Further Action.

 

If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of fuboTV and Merger Sub, the directors and officers of FaceBank and fuboTV shall have the authority to take all such lawful and necessary action.

 

1.6 Tax Reorganization.

 

The parties hereto intend, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement is hereby adopted as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g). The parties hereto agree to report the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits in lieu thereof) or Book Entry Shares for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by FaceBank, together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates or Book Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of whole shares of the Stock Merger Consideration (after taking into account all Certificates or such Book Entry Shares surrendered by such holder of record) such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.4(b) (which, at the election of FaceBank, may be in uncertificated book entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by the holder of record or is otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements), and/or payment of any cash such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.4(b) and any dividends or distributions such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.3(d), which shares and cash FaceBank shall cause the Exchange Agent to distribute as promptly as practicable (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) following surrender of such Certificates or Book Entry Shares and such duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates or Book Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose for an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book Entry Shares on the cash amounts payable upon the surrender of such Certificates or such Book Entry Shares pursuant to this Section 2.3. Until so surrendered, from and after the Effective Time outstanding Certificates or Book Entry Shares shall be deemed to evidence only the ownership of the number of full shares of the Stock Merger Consideration and/or cash into which such shares of fuboTV Capital Stock shall have been so converted in accordance with Section 1.4(b) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d).

In addition, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall, and FaceBank shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, cause their respective certificates or articles of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation provisions contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of fuboTV and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, and during such six-year period, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any respect except as and to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements.

The rights of the Indemnified Parties (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.7(b) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by fuboTV or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Legal Requirement (whether at law or in equity).

 

(d) In the event that FaceBank, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries (or any of their respective successors or assigns) shall consolidate or merge with any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger, or transfers at least fifty percent (50%) of its properties and assets to any other person, then in each case proper provision shall be made so that the continuing or surviving corporation or entity (or its successors or assigns, if applicable), or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.7.
