On March 26, 2015, through a Tender Offer (as defined below) that launched on February 20, 2015, and expired on March 20, 2015, Cavendish acquired 33,295 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for aggregate cash consideration of $1,535,898.35.

On April 1, 2015, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement (defined below), Cavendish sold to the Company all of the outstanding equity of its subsidiary Conniaco B.V. in exchange for an aggregate of 1,605,330 newly issued shares of Common Stock (the “Consideration Shares”).

As permitted by the Stock Purchase Agreement, and pursuant to a separate Purchase Agreement dated as of April 1, 2015 (the “Top-Up Purchase Agreement”), on April 1, 2015, Cavendish purchased an aggregate of 4,438,353 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) from the Company for aggregate cash consideration of $204,741,224.

Cavendish used working capital to fund the purchases of the Tender Offer Shares and the Top-Up Shares.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in Item 3 above for investment purposes and in connection with a strategic relationship being entered into between WPP (including its subsidiaries and affiliates) and the Company.

Consistent with the investment purposes noted above, and subject to the limitations set forth in the Stockholders Rights Agreement and the Voting Agreement (each as defined below), the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with, without limitation, management of the Company, one or more members of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), other shareholders of the Company and other relevant parties, and may make suggestions, concerning the business, assets, capitalization, financial condition, operations, governance, management, prospects, strategy, strategic transactions, financing strategies and alternatives, and future plans of the Company, and such other matters as the Reporting Persons may deem relevant to their investment in the Company, which communications may include proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Company on an ongoing basis. Depending on various factors (including, without limitation, the Company’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board, price levels of the relevant securities,

 

Page 5 of 22 Pages


other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, market conditions and general economic and industry conditions), and subject to the limitations set forth in the Stockholder Rights Agreement and the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock or other financial instruments of or related to the Company or selling some or all of their beneficial holdings, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the securities of or relating to the Company and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The Shares represent approximately 15% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, based upon 34,469,508 shares of Common Stock outstanding on April 1, 2015, immediately after the issuance of the Consideration Shares and the Top-Up Shares. WPP indirectly owns 100% of Cavendish and therefore may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Shares.

 

  (b) Each of Cavendish and WPP may be deemed to have shared power to vote and dispose or direct the vote and direct the disposition of the Shares.

 

  (c) See Items 3 and 6.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Stock Purchase Agreement and Top-Up Purchase Agreement

On February 11, 2015, Cavendish and WPP Group USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GUSA”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with the Company and its subsidiary CS Worldnet Holding B.V., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of the Netherlands (“CS Worldnet”), to sell all of the outstanding equity of Cavendish’s subsidiary Conniaco B.V. (“Newco B.V.”) to the Company in exchange for the Consideration Shares. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Top-Up Purchase Agreement, Cavendish acquired the Consideration Shares and the Top-Up Shares on April 1, 2015. Newco B.V. is a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands that acquired the companies and assets through which the internet audience measurement (“IAM”) businesses previously managed by WPP’s Kantar group of companies in Norway, Sweden and Finland (the “European IAM Business”) was conducted.

 

Page 6 of 22 Pages


The Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of Cavendish, WPP, CS Worldnet and the Company that will generally survive for 18 months after the closing of the transactions effected pursuant to such agreement. However, certain fundamental representations of the parties will survive as long as permitted under any applicable laws and all representations and warranties relating to any claims made prior to the expiration of such survival periods will survive until the claims are resolved. Cavendish and GUSA will indemnify the Company and CS Worldnet, and the Company and CS Worldnet will indemnify Cavendish and GUSA, for breaches of representations and warranties or covenants by the indemnifying parties. Neither Cavendish and GUSA, on the one hand, nor CS Worldnet and the Company, on the other hand, will have any liability for losses relating to a claim for indemnity until the amount of such losses exceeds one percent of the aggregate value of the Consideration Shares as of April 1, 2015, and the aggregate liability of Cavendish and GUSA, on the one hand, or CS Worldnet and the Company, on the other hand, for indemnifiable losses arising out of breaches of representations (other than any fundamental representation) may not exceed five percent of the aggregate value of the Consideration Shares as of April 1, 2015.

From the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement until the fifth anniversary thereof (the “Transfer Period”), WPP will notify CS Worldnet if, at any time during this period, GUSA determines that WPP’s IAM business in Russia (the “Russian IAM Business”) could be transferred to CS Worldnet without any adverse impact on the Russian IAM Business or on the Company or its affiliates’ television audience measurement (“TAM”) business in Russia. If CS Worldnet, in its sole discretion, determines that it is able to operate the Russian IAM Business, it may choose to acquire the Russian IAM Business, in which event the parties will use their reasonable best efforts to transfer the Russian IAM Business to CS Worldnet or an affiliate for no additional consideration. If the Russian IAM Business is transferred and CS Worldnet is unable to transfer dividend payments out of Russia during the Transfer Period due to political unrest, sanctions or other similar governmental restrictions, then GUSA will provide a cash payment to CS Worldnet outside of Russia in the amount of such dividend payments provided that an equal amount is transferred by the Company or an affiliate to a WPP affiliate in Russia. However, no party will be required to take any action that would result in or involve a breach of applicable law.

Stockholders Rights Agreement

On February 11, 2015, Cavendish and GUSA entered into a Stockholders Rights Agreement (the “Stockholders Rights Agreement”) with the Company. Pursuant to the Stockholders Rights Agreement, Cavendish and GUSA have the right, subject to customary exceptions, to require the Company to include the Shares in any registration statement that the Company files with respect to the sale of Common Stock for the Company’s account or for the accounts of other security holders. In addition, to the extent the Company is qualified for registration of secondary offerings on Form S-3, Cavendish and GUSA also have the right to require the Company to file registration statements on Form S-3 covering the Shares, subject to customary limitations. For any such registration, the Company will generally pay all expenses of registration except for underwriting discounts and commissions and any counsel fees Cavendish may incur in connection with such registration. The Stockholders Rights Agreement also

 

Page 7 of 22 Pages


includes customary indemnification and market stand-off provisions, as well as certain customary limitations on Cavendish’s and GUSA’s ability to transfer Shares. Cavendish and GUSA will have the right to receive annual and quarterly financial statements and such other periodic financial information that WPP may need to prepare its required periodic financial disclosures. Additionally, Cavendish and GUSA agreed in the Stockholders Rights Agreement that for as long as they hold the Shares, they will not, without the Company’s consent, take any of the following actions (the “Standstill Provisions”):

(a) acquire, offer, seek or propose to acquire, or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly (including acquiring beneficial ownership as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), by purchase or otherwise, any capital stock of the Company or direct or indirect rights to acquire any capital stock of the Company, or any assets of the Company or any subsidiary or division of the Company or of any such successor or controlling person, if such acquisition would cause their ownership interest in the Shares to exceed, (i) prior to and including the date that is six months following (x) the closing of the Tender Offer or (y) if Cavendish withdraws or declines to close the Offer, the withdrawal or expiration of the Offer (such date being, the “Six Month Anniversary Date”), 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding Shares as measured immediately prior to the commencement of the Tender Offer, and (ii) after the Six Month Anniversary Date, 20.0% of the Company’s outstanding Shares as measured as of the date of such acquisition;

(b) make, or in any way participate, directly or indirectly, in any “solicitation” of “proxies” to vote (as such terms are used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission), or seek to advise or influence any person or entity (other than GUSA and its subsidiaries) with respect to the voting of any capital stock of the Company;

(c) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit a proposal for or offer of (with or without conditions) (including to the Board), any extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any of its securities or assets, except as provided in the Stockholders Rights Agreement;

(d) form or join a 13D Group (as defined in the Stockholders Rights Agreement) (other than any such group consisting solely of GUSA and its subsidiaries) in connection with any of the foregoing;

(e) otherwise act or seek to control the management or Board or policies of the Company, whether alone or in concert with others;

(f) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Company to make a public announcement regarding the possibility of any of the events described in clauses (a) through (e) above;

(g) ask the Company or any of its representatives, directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any of these Standstill Provisions in a manner that would require public disclosure; or

(h) direct or instruct any of their respective subsidiaries, representatives or affiliates to take any such action.

 

Page 8 of 22 Pages


If Cavendish and GUSA together hold more than 20.5% of the Company’s then-outstanding Common Stock as calculated based on the Company’s most recent SEC report, they will be required, within a reasonable time, in an orderly market, and in compliance with applicable law, to resell a number of Shares such that their beneficial ownership is no greater than 20% of the Company’s then-outstanding Common Stock.

Notwithstanding the Standstill Provisions, GUSA may make confidential proposals to the Board with reasonable frequency provided that the proposals do not result in any required disclosure in SEC reports by the Company. Additionally, for so long as Cavendish and GUSA together own greater than fifteen percent (15%) of the Company’s then-outstanding Common Stock, GUSA may submit a counterbid to the Company for any publicly announced third party offer to acquire the Company that is not otherwise promptly rejected by the Board (a “Third Party Bid”). If the Company receives an unsolicited and confidential Third Party Bid, the Company must notify GUSA promptly unless the Board chooses not to seek other bids. If the Company receives an unsolicited Third Party Bid and chooses not to engage with that party at the time, subsequent contact with such party for a period of three months following the date of receipt of the initial proposal will not necessarily give rise to any obligation to notify GUSA unless such obligation would otherwise arise pursuant to the Stockholders Rights Agreement or otherwise. However, the Company will be required to notify GUSA promptly if the Company initiates a formal sale process that would result in a Change of Control (as defined in the Stockholders Rights Agreement).

The Stockholders Rights Agreement became effective on April 1, 2015, and will terminate upon a Change of Control of the Company.

Voting Agreement

On February 11, 2015, Cavendish and GUSA entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with the Company. The Voting Agreement provides that whenever Cavendish and GUSA beneficially own at least 15% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, they must vote all Shares they hold as follows:

(a) on any proposal submitted for vote by a third party not affiliated with the Company, they will vote their Shares in favor of the vote recommended by the Board, and

(b) on any other matter submitted for vote, they will vote their Shares in a “neutral manner”, i.e., in the same proportion as all other outstanding voting securities of the Company are voted.

The obligations of Cavendish and GUSA under the Voting Agreement are supported by a proxy in favor of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer giving such persons the power to vote the Shares in accordance with the requirements described above.

 

Page 9 of 22 Pages


However, if GUSA, Cavendish and the Company agree in good faith that any manner put to a stockholder vote can reasonably be expected to create a direct conflict of interest between the interests of the Company and those of GUSA and Cavendish, then GUSA and Cavendish may elect to abstain from voting on such manner, and in such case the proxy granted to the Company’s officers will not apply.

The Voting Agreement became effective on February 11, 2015, and will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the first date on which Cavendish and GUSA cease to own any Shares, (ii) a Change of Control of the Company, and (iii) the mutual agreement of the parties.

Strategic Alliance Agreement

The Strategic Alliance Agreement establishes a framework for collaboration between WPP and the Company on cross-media audience measurement (the combined reporting of IAM, TAM and other media) (“CMAM”) business in non-sanctioned countries outside the United States. Pursuant to this agreement, WPP and the Company will:

 

    Cooperate with respect to the assessment of potential opportunities to collaborate on development of a CMAM solution, as well as other cross media initiatives that may from time to time be identified that would combine the respective expertise and technology of each party, and to offer such CMAM solutions to their clients; and

 

    Subject to certain exceptions, cooperate in marketing, generating sales leads, promoting and selling the CMAM solutions to customers in the country or region associated with a marketing and sales plan agreed by the parties.

The Strategic Alliance Agreement describes the parties’ obligations to work together to develop and offer CMAM services in various countries, and the obligations will vary depending in part on whether either or both already provide IAM or TAM services in a particular country. The agreement also sets out parameters for determining which party will serve as the lead sales and marketing party for CMAM services in a particular country. Where WPP (a) is the Incumbent Provider for TAM Services to a recognized authority for audience measurement (“Industry Authority”) in the television industry or has an established relationship with the Industry Authority with respect to TAM, or (b) provides TAM or Return Path Data services without an Industry Authority in a particular country, and the Company has not established the rights to provide IAM Services to the internet Industry Authority in such country, WPP will serve as the lead sales and marketing party for CMAM services in such country. Where the Company is the incumbent provider for IAM services to the internet Industry Authority or has an established relationship with the Industry Authority with respect to IAM, in a particular country, and WPP has not established the rights to provide TAM Services to the television Industry Authority in such country, the Company will serve as the lead sales and marketing party for CMAM services in such country. In countries where WPP is the incumbent provider for TAM services and the Company is the incumbent provider for IAM services, or where neither party has rights to provide services to the Industry Authority or no Industry Authority exists, then WPP will serve as the lead sales and marketing party for CMAM services in such country. Under

 

Page 10 of 22 Pages


certain circumstances, if a party having the right to serve as the lead sales and marketing party in a particular country declines or fails to do so, the other party may take the lead position in that country.

Each party will be required to pay royalties or commissions to the other party based on a percent of revenues received by such party from sales of the CMAM solution. Each party will be entitled to audit the records of the other party pertaining to sales of the CMAM solution.

The Strategic Alliance Agreement further provides that each party will retain ownership of its own intellectual property contributed to the CMAM solution and will grant to the other party a nonexclusive license to use its intellectual property for the purposes set out in the agreement.

The Strategic Alliance Agreement will be effective for a 10-year term commencing on the date of the SPA Closing, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, and may be renewed for additional 5-year terms upon the mutual agreement of the parties at least 60 days prior to the end of the then-current term. WPP can terminate the agreement immediately in the event the Company assigns the agreement to a third party that is a direct competitor of WPP or its affiliates, and the Company can terminate the agreement immediately if WPP assigns the agreement to a third party that is a direct competitor of the Company or its affiliates or any media buying agency.

Tender Offer

On February 20, 2015, Cavendish launched a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to 5,520,229 outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal (each dated February 20, 2015 and which together, along with any amendments and supplements, collectively constitute the “Offer Documents”). Following the expiration of the Tender Offer, on March 26, 2015, Cavendish acquired 33,295 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for aggregate cash consideration of $1,535,898.35.

The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Top-Up Purchase Agreement, the Stockholders Rights Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Strategic Alliance Agreement and the Offer Documents (collectively, the “Agreements”), and the transactions they contemplate, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copies of the Agreements, which are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated by reference herein. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreements were made only for purposes of each particular agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreements; and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made by each contracting party to the other for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between them that differ from those applicable to investors. You should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or WPP or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates or businesses. Moreover,

 

Page 11 of 22 Pages


information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Agreements, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures. Accordingly, you should read the representations and warranties in the Agreements not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about the Company or WPP that the respective companies include in reports, statements and other filings such parties make with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 hereof or between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
