CUSIP No. 30162V102

 

The information in this Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Fourth Amendment” or this “13D/A”) amends the Schedule 13D (the “Initial Schedule 13D”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC “) by Mr. Par Chadha, HandsOn Global Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ HGM “), Ex-Sigma 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Ex-Sigma 2 “), Ex-Sigma LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Ex-Sigma “), HOVS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ HOVS “), HandsOn Fund 4 I, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“ HOF 4 “), HOV Capital III, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“ HOV 3 “), HOV Services Ltd., an Indian limited company (“ HOV Services “), Adesi 234 LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“ Adesi “), HOF 2 LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“ HOF 2 “ and together with Mr. Chadha, Ex-Sigma, Ex-Sigma 2, HGM, HOVS, HOV Services, HOF 4, HOV 3, and Adesi, the “ Initial Reporting Persons “) on July 24, 2017, relating to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock “), of Exela Technologies, Inc. (the “ Issuer “), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Initial Reporting Persons on April 16, 2018, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Initial Reporting Persons and HandsOn 3, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and an affiliate of the Initial Reporting Persons (“HOF 3 and together with the Initial Reporting Persons the “Amended Reporting Persons”)  on June 20, 2018 and Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed by the Amended Reporting Persons on May 28, 2019 (the “Prior Amendments”).

 

This Fourth Amendment reports (a) certain transactions in the Shares entered into as of June 25, 2019, and (b) the entry into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) by and among SoNino LLC, The Beigam Trust, The Rifles Trust, SunRaj LLC, Pidgin Associates LLC, Andrej Jonovic, Shadow Pond LLC, Ron Cogburn, Kanwar Chadha and Surinder Rametra (collectively, the “Voting Agreement Parties”) and certain of the Amended Reporting Persons (together with the Voting Agreement Parties, the “Reporting Persons”).  The Reporting Persons anticipate that the Voting Agreement Parties will file their initial Schedule 13D within 10 days of June 25, 2019.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

On June 3, 2019, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Director Compensation Policy and 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, Mr. Chadha was granted 59,574 Restricted Stock Units, each of which will vest in full immediately prior to the 2020 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer.  Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive, following vesting, one share of Common Stock.

 

As detailed in Item 4 below, on June 25, 2019 each of HOF 2, Adesi and HOVS purchased Shares from Ex-Sigma 2.  Each of such entities used working capital to purchase the shares of Common Stock reported on this Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

The Reporting Persons believe that the market price of the Common Stock is less than its intrinsic value.  Thus, the Reporting Persons are continuing to take steps, including advanced discussions and exchanging term sheets with third parties and potential financing sources, in order to make a definitive proposal for a transaction in which the Reporting Persons and/or one or more third parties would acquire all of the outstanding Common Stock not presently owned by the Reporting Persons (a “Take Private”).

 

In light of their view as to the value of the Common Stock, on June 25, 2019, certain beneficial owners of Ex-Sigma, the controlling shareholder of the Issuer, invested an additional $8,000,000 to acquire exchangeable preferred membership interest in Ex-Sigma and 2,242,424 Shares from Ex-Sigma 2 for their own accounts.  In addition, an existing shareholder of the Issuer, unaffiliated with Ex-Sigma (the “Unaffiliated Purchaser”), purchased 4,375,000 Shares from Ex-Sigma 2 for $7,218,750, making the Unaffiliated Purchaser the third largest shareholder in the Issuer.  The Unaffiliated Purchaser has informed Ex-Sigma that it uses fundamental analysis with a combination of top-down and bottom-up approach to make its investments.  The purchases of Shares were completed as private placements, and Ex-Sigma 2 has assigned a pro rata portion of certain of its registration rights to the purchasers.  Ex-Sigma 2 used the net proceeds of the transaction to make a partial repayment of the Loans.  The Reporting Persons are taking steps intended to reduce their exposure to the Loans that are secured by the Pledged Shares in order to, among other things, provide the Reporting Persons with greater flexibility in implementing a Take Private.  These steps may

 

13


 

include, refinancing or paying down the Loans, purchasing some or all of the Loans from the Lenders, posting additional collateral and/or selling certain of the Pledged Shares.

 

The Reporting Persons entered into the Voting Agreement in order to maintain majority voting control of the Issuer and facilitate a future Take Private.

 

The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their intentions with respect to any future acquisitions or dispositions of shares of Common Stock.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a)-(b)

 

Ex-Sigma 2 directly owns 71,295,076 shares of Common Stock and 2,669,233 shares of Preferred Stock (convertible into 3,263,473 shares of Common Stock), representing beneficial ownership of 48.6% of the Common Stock. Ex-Sigma owns all of the outstanding equity interests in Ex-Sigma 2, and thus may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of such Common Stock. Each of the other Initial Reporting Persons (other than HGM) are direct or indirect equityholders of Ex-Sigma and may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of such Common Stock. In addition to their indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares owned by Ex-Sigma 2:  HOF 2 directly owns 233,872 shares of Common Stock, and thus may be deemed to beneficially own  48.8% of the Common Stock in the aggregate; Adesi directly owns 165,086 shares of Common Stock , and thus may be deemed to beneficially own  48.7% of the Common Stock in the aggregate; and HOVS directly owns 206,358 shares of Common Stock and it and its equity holder HOV Services may be deemed to beneficially own 48.7% of the Common Stock in the aggregate.  HOF 3 directly owns an additional 46,500 shares of Common Stock, representing less than 1% of the Common Stock.  The Voting Agreement Parties directly own 1,667,108 Shares and hold an additional 358,800 restricted stock units, each of which represents the right to receive, following vesting, one share of Common Stock (“RSUs”).  HGM directly owns an additional 1,250,000 shares of Common stock, and, pursuant to the Voting Agreement, may direct each of the Reporting Persons on the voting of their shares, and thus may be deemed to beneficially own 78,636,415, shares of Common Stock representing 51.1% of the Common Stock.  Mr. Chadha directly owns 78,244 Shares and has been granted an additional 71,898 RSUs.  By virtue of his control of the Amended Reporting Persons, Mr. Chadha may be deemed to beneficially own 78,636,415 shares of Common Stock representing 51.1% of the Common Stock.

 

Percentages in this Schedule 13D for all Reporting Persons other than HGM and Mr. Chadha are calculated based on the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (x) beneficially owned by the applicable Reporting Person, and (y) issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Person, whether or not the Preferred Stock is presently convertible, and assuming a conversion rate of 1.2226 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock, by (ii) the sum of (x) 150,142,955  shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 8, 2019 as reported in the Issuer’s 10-Q and (y) the amount set forth in clause (i)(y).

 

Percentages in this Schedule 13D for HGM and Mr. Chadha are calculated based on the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (x) beneficially owned by HGM or Mr. Chadha, as applicable, (y) issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Person, whether or not the Preferred Stock is presently convertible, and assuming a conversion rate of 1.2226 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock, and (z) issuable upon vesting of RSUs owned by the Reporting Person whether or not such vesting is to occur within 60 days, by (ii) the sum of (x) 150,142,955  shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 8, 2019 as reported in the Issuer’s 10-Q, and (y) the amount set forth in clauses (i)(y) and (z).

 

The Reporting Persons are reporting beneficial ownership over the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and vesting of the RSUs, even though such conversion and vesting may not occur within 60 days of the date hereof.  Other than for purposes of this Report, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim such beneficial ownership, and nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission by any Reporting Person as to the beneficial ownership of such shares. To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule A, Part II of this Fourth Amendment, no Shares are beneficially owned by any Scheduled Person other than Mr. Chadha.

 

(c) On June 25, 2019, Ex-Sigma 2 sold 6,617,424 Shares for $10,918,750.  Of those Shares, HOF2 purchased 233,872 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, Adesi purchased 165,086 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, HOVS purchased 206,358 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, and the Voting Agreement Parties purchase 1,637,108 Shares.  Ex-Sigma 2 used the net proceeds of the sale to partially repay amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement.  Mr. Chadha was previously granted Restricted Stock Units, see Item 3.

 

14


 

(d) Except as set forth in Item 3, no person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

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

 

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

On June 25, 2019, each of the Reporting Persons entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each of the Reporting Persons has granted to HGM an irrevocable proxy to vote all of such Reporting Persons’ shares then held.  The Voting Agreement Parties directly own 1,667,108 Shares and 358,800 RSUs.  The Voting Agreement will terminate upon written notice of such termination by HGM or, with respect to a Reporting Person, at such time as such Reporting Person ceases to beneficially own any shares.

 

Each exchangeable preferred membership interest in Ex-Sigma has a liquidation preference equal to its purchase price, and at such time as Ex-Sigma 2 LLC distributes Shares to Ex-Sigma, such exchangeable preferred membership interest is exchangeable into a number of Shares equal to its purchase price divided by the lesser of $1.65 and the 5-day volume weighted average price preceding the date of exchange.

 

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

 

Exhibit 10.1: Voting Agreement, dated June 25, 2019, by and among HandsOn Global Management, LLC and the parties executing such agreement as stockholders.

HANDSON GLOBAL MANAGEMENT, LLC

 

and

 

THE PARTIES EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT AS STOCKHOLDERS

 

Dated as of June 25, 2019

 

 

 


 

VOTING AGREEMENT

 

This VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of June 25, 2019, by and among HandsOn Global Management, LLC (“HGM”) and the parties executing this Agreement as Stockholders (the “Stockholders”).

 

WHEREAS, certain of the Stockholders are members of Ex-Sigma LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Ex-Sigma”);

 

WHEREAS, certain of the Stockholders have acquired shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) of Exela Technologies Inc. (the “Company”)

 

WHEREAS, upon the occurrence of certain events, Ex-Sigma proposes to dissolve and to distribute Shares of the Company to its members, including certain of the Stockholders; and

 

WHEREAS, HGM and the Stockholders wish to provide for the orderly voting of Shares, whether acquired upon distribution from Ex-Sigma or otherwise.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.

 

VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY

 

Section 1.1.           Agreement to Vote.  Each Stockholder hereby agrees that at any duly called meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), or in any other circumstances (including action by written consent of stockholders of the Company in lieu of a meeting) the Stockholder shall, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and shall provide a written consent or vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of the Shares of the Company held beneficially or of record by the Stockholder, including any Shares of Exela acquired by the Stockholder after the date of this Agreement (the “Subject Shares”), as directed by HGM.

 

Section 1.2.           Grant of Irrevocable Proxy.  Each Stockholder hereby appoints HGM and any designee of HGM, and each of them individually, as the Stockholder’s proxy, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote, including by executing written consents with respect to any and all of the Subject Shares on the matters and in the manner specified in Section 1.1. The Stockholder shall take all further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of any such proxy.  The Stockholder affirms that the irrevocable proxy given to HGM by the Stockholder to secure the performance of the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement.

 

1


 

Section 1.3.           Nature of Irrevocable Proxy.  The proxy granted pursuant to Section 1.2 to HGM by the Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney granted by the Stockholder and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given or written consent executed (and if given or executed, shall not be effective) by the Stockholder with respect thereto.  The proxy that may be granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, but shall survive the death or incapacity of the Stockholder and any obligation of the Stockholder under this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives and successors of the Stockholder.

 

ARTICLE II.

 

COVENANTS

 

Section 2.1.           Transfer of Subject Shares.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the ability of a Stockholder to sell, assign, transfer or convey the Subject Shares or to pledge, margin or otherwise encumber (a “Pledge”) the Subject Shares.

 

(a)           Upon the sale of any Shares that constitute Subject Shares through the facilities of a national securities exchange, such Shares shall cease being subject Shares.

 

(b)           Upon the bona fide Pledge of any Shares that constitute Subject Shares, such Shares shall be released from this Agreement, to the extent, and only to the extent, required by the terms of such Pledge.

 

(c)            Upon any other sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or Pledge of Shares that constitute Subject Shares  (including, but not limited to, a sale by the Stockholder’s trustee in bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.

 

Section 2.2.           Additional Subject Shares.

 

(a)           In the event of a stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Subject Shares by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of shares or the like, the term “Subject Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Subject Shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Subject Shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

 

(b)           Each Stockholder further agrees that, in the event Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial or record ownership of or an interest in, or acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of, any additional Shares, in each case after the execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder shall deliver promptly to HGM written

 

2


 

notice of such event, which notice shall state the number of additional Shares so acquired.  The Stockholder agrees that any such additional Shares shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including all covenants, agreements, obligations, representations and warranties set forth herein as if those additional shares were owned by the Stockholder on the date of this Agreement.

 

Section 2.3.           Stockholder’s Capacity.  All agreements and understandings made herein shall be made solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of the Subject Shares and not in any other capacity.  Nothing herein shall limit or affect a Stockholder’s ability to act as an officer or director of the Company or its subsidiaries.

 

Section 2.4.           No Inconsistent Agreements.  Each Stockholder agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any entity under its control to, deposit any of its Subject Shares in a voting trust or subject any of its Subject Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares other than as provided herein.

 

Section 2.5.           13D Group.  HGM and the Stockholders each acknowledge and agree that HGM and each Stockholder shall be deemed a member of a 13D Group.  Each Stockholder shall provide HGM with written notice as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event, no less than two (2) days prior to any action or inaction by such Stockholder that would require the 13D Group to make a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  For purposes hereof, “13D Group” shall mean any group of persons formed for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of Shares of the Company which would be required under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), to file a statement on Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-l(a) or Schedule 13G pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c) with the SEC as a “person” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act if such group beneficially owned Shares of Exela representing more than 5% of any class of Shares of Exela then outstanding.

 

Section 2.6.           Further Actions.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Stockholder agrees to take any all actions and to do all things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate this Agreement.

7


 

assigns.  Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement.  If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if drafted by all the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.  References to dollars or “US$” are to the official currency of the United States of America.

 

Section 6.9.           Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

 

Section 6.10.         Specific Performance.  Each Stockholder acknowledges that any breach of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and HGM shall be entitled to a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy.

 

Section 6.11.         Submission to Jurisdiction.  The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if the Chancery Court declines jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or the courts of the State of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims relating to such action, suit or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts.  The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 6.3 or in such other manner as may be permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

 

Section 6.12.         Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR

OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.12.

 

Section 6.13.         Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile transmission or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (by facsimile or otherwise) to the other parties.

 

Section 6.14.         Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement has been negotiated on an arm’s length basis between the parties and is not intended to create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between the parties.

 

Section 6.15.         Role of Counsel.  Each of the parties hereto understands and acknowledges that Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP has from time to time represented HGM, the Company and certain of the Stockholders, both collectively and individually.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP is acting as counsel to HGM and not to the Company or any of the Stockholders and that Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP owes no duty or obligation to the Company or any of the Stockholders in connection therewith.  Each Stockholder waives any conflict of interest arising out of such representation, and agrees that Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP may represent HGM in connection with any dispute between the Stockholders on the one hand and HGM on the other.
