Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (Nasdaq: HMNY) (“HMNY”), a provider of information technology services and solutions and the 92% owner of MoviePass Inc. (“MoviePass”), the nation’s premier movie-theater subscription service, today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with institutional investors for HMNY to issue convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $164 million (the “Notes”) and 20,500 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and the Preferred Stock will be used for general corporate purposes. HMNY is not obligated to register the resale of any shares underlying the Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Absent registration, the investors may resell the shares underlying the Notes only pursuant to Rule 144 or another available exemption from registration.

The Notes will be convertible, at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $1.00, subject to adjustment. The Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock. Each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to 3,205 votes per share on all matters on which holders of common stock are entitled to vote.

Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, at the closing of the financing, the investors will pay for the Preferred Stock and the Notes with $20.5 million in cash up front and investor notes in the aggregate principal amount of $139.4 million payable to HMNY (the “Investor Notes”). Each investor may prepay its Investor Note, with the resulting cash being paid to HMNY, in its discretion.

Canaccord Genuity LLC acted as sole placement agent for the financing. Palladium Capital Advisors LLC acted as a financial advisor.

Key Transaction Details

The investors may require HMNY to redeem the Notes at any time after seven months from the issue date of the Notes, including the portion of outstanding principal amount of the Investor Notes for which the investors have prepaid to HMNY a corresponding amount of cash under the Investor Notes, plus accrued unpaid interest on those amounts and a make-whole amount of interest on those amounts calculated through the two-year maturity date of the Notes.

The Notes are not secured by any assets of HMNY other than the Investor Notes. The conversion price of the Notes is subject to adjustment in the event the Company sells shares of common stock or common stock equivalents for less than $1.00 per share in the future, subject to customary excluded issuances.

The investors may require HMNY to redeem the Preferred Stock at any time at a price of $0.01 per share. After the first 15% of the aggregate principal amount of any Note has been paid or converted, HMNY may redeem all or a portion the Preferred Stock held by the holder of that Note at a price of $0.01 per share. Each holder of the Preferred Stock will not be permitted to transfer such holder’s Preferred Stock prior to the time when at least 15% of the aggregate principal amount of such holder’s Note has been converted or paid.

For additional information concerning the details of the financing, please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by HMNY with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The Notes, the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion thereof and the Preferred Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold absent such registration or pursuant to an available exemption from such registration requirements. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
