Item 5.01 of
the Form 8-K filed by Moscow CableCom Corp. (the "Company") on January 18,
2005 (the "Form 8-K") is amended in its entirety to read as follows. The remainder of the Form 8-K is unchanged.
Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.
CNI may be deemed
to have acquired control of the Company on January 13, 2005 as a result of the
issuance of the Series B Stock and the Warrants as described in Item 1.01, "Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement,"
of the Form 8-K and the changes to the Company's Board of Directors and
management as described in Item 5.02, "Departure
of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Principal Officers," of the Form 8-K, which Items are incorporated
herein by reference. Prior to the transactions
reported in the Form 8-K, COMCOR had ownership of approximately 48% of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company and was a party to a Voting Agreement
dated February 23, 2004 by and among COMCOR, Oliver R. Grace, Jr. and Francis
E. Baker. On January 13, 2005, the
Voting Agreement terminated.
CNI may be deemed
to have control of the Company on the following basis:
- Its ownership of the
Series B Stock, which gives CNI an approximate 33.9% equity ownership in the
Company and approximately 29.5% of the voting power of the Company.
- Its ownership of the
Warrants which, upon exercise in full, would give CNI an approximate 56.2%
equity ownership in the Company and approximately 54.3% of the voting power of
the Company.
- The Shareholders
Agreement made and entered into as of August 26, 2004, as amended on December
1, 2004 and December 30, 2004, between COMCOR and CNI (the "Shareholders
Agreement"), as described below.
- The Irrevocable Proxies
granted by certain persons and entities with respect to 817,512 shares of
Common Stock, as described below.
- Its ability to designate
a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, as described below with
respect to the Shareholders Agreement and under Item 5.02, "Departure of Directors or Principal Officers;
Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers," of the Form
8-K, which Item is incorporated herein by reference.
COMCOR may be
deemed to share control of the Company with CNI on the following basis:
- Its ownership of
4,220,879 shares of Common Stock, which gives COMCOR an approximate 31.8%
ownership position in the Company.
- The Shareholders
Agreement between COMCOR and CNI, described below.
Pursuant to the
Shareholders Agreement, CNI and COMCOR agreed to vote all of the shares of
Common Stock and Series B Stock (collectively, the "Voting Stock")
they beneficially own:
- To initially elect to
the Board of Directors the new members designated by CNI as contemplated in the
Subscription Agreement, and as further described in Item 5.02, "Departure of Directors or Principal Officers;
Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers," of the Form
8-K, which Item is incorporated herein by reference;
- To cause and maintain
the number of Directors of the Board to be fixed at eleven;
2
- To cause and maintain
the election to the Board of a total of three individuals designated by COMCOR,
which number shall be reduced to two individuals and further to one individual
in the event that COMCOR beneficially owns less than 20% and less than 15% (but
at least 10%) of our outstanding Voting Stock, respectively; and
- To cause the election to
the Board of a total of six individuals designated by CNI, which number shall
be: (i) increased to seven individuals in the event that COMCOR shall
beneficially own less than 20% of our outstanding Voting Stock and (ii)
decreased to five, four, two and one individuals, in the event that CNI
beneficially owns less than 30%, 20%, 15% and 10% of our outstanding Voting
Stock, respectively.
In
connection with the foregoing, CNI agreed that, for so long as COMCOR owns at
least 15% of the Voting Stock, it will use its best efforts to ensure that the
combination of the Directors designated by COMCOR and those designated by CNI
comprise a majority of the Directors on the Board. CNI and COMCOR also agreed that, for so long as each of them is
entitled to designate at least one director (in accordance with the provisions
described above), each committee of the Board shall consist of at least one
director designated by CNI and one director designated by COMCOR (to the extent
permitted by applicable law).
CNI
and COMCOR also agreed that, for so long as they each own at least 15% of our
Voting Stock, they will seek to agree on the following matters:
- Amendment of the
Company's organizational documents;
- The Company's
reorganization or liquidation;
- Increasing or decreasing
the Company's authorized capital;
- Entry by the Company
into material transactions in which either COMCOR or CNI is a party;
- Appointment of the
Company's Chief Executive Officer (other than as described in Item 5.02, "Departure of Directors or Principal
Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers,"
of the Form 8-K);
- Establishing the
Company's strategy;
- Any material deviation
from the Company's business plan;
- Appointment of the
Company's auditors; and
- Approval of the
Company's annual financial statements.
In
connection with the foregoing, the Shareholders Agreement provides that, in the
event that CNI and COMCOR are unable to agree on how to vote with respect to
any of the matters set forth above, such matter may be referred by either party
to a special committee of the Board, the decision of which shall be binding on
the parties.
3
Pursuant
to the Shareholders Agreement, CNI and COMCOR agreed, subject to limited
exceptions, to refrain from transferring any Voting Stock they beneficially own
without the prior consent of the other party.
Further, CNI and COMCOR have agreed (for so long as such party holds at
least 10% of our Voting Stock) to participate in (on a pro rata basis) sales of
Voting Stock initiated by the other party.
In addition, each party has a right of first offer with respect to any
shares of Voting Stock the other party proposes to sell.
The Shareholders Agreement will terminate upon the
earlier to occur of (a) CNI and COMCOR mutually agreeing to terminate the
Shareholders Agreement, (b) such time as CNI's percentage beneficial ownership
of the outstanding Voting Stock falls below 5%, (c) such time as COMCOR's
percentage beneficial ownership in the outstanding Voting Stock falls below 5%,
and (d) the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of any of CNI, COMCOR or the Company.
On December 1, 2004, certain stockholders holding in
the aggregate 163,503 shares of Common Stock granted CNI an irrevocable proxy
and power of attorney to vote their shares of Common Stock (the "Initial
Irrevocable Proxy"). The terms of the
Initial Irrevocable Proxy provide as follows:
- During the term of the
Initial Irrevocable Proxy, CNI will have the ability to vote the shares of
Common Stock which are subject to the Initial Irrevocable Proxy at any meeting
of stockholders or consent action in lieu of a meeting at CNI's sole
discretion.
- The stockholders who are
parties to the Initial Irrevocable Proxy have agreed that until January 13,
2006 not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Common
Stock subject to the Initial Irrevocable Proxy, unless the transferee also
agrees to be bound by the Initial Irrevocable Proxy.
- During the period from
January 13, 2006 until the expiration of the Initial Irrevocable Proxy, the
stockholders who are parties to the Initial Irrevocable Proxy may sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Common Stock subject to
the Initial Irrevocable Proxy, subject to the right of CNI to exercise a right
to acquire all such shares proposed to be transferred on the same terms as they
are proposed to be transferred to a third party.
- If CNI converts any of
its shares of Series B Stock into Common Stock, the number of shares subject to
the Initial Irrevocable Proxy will be reduced by such number of shares of
Common Stock having voting power equal to the additional voting power acquired
by CNI as a result of such conversion to the extent that the conversion causes
CNI to have an aggregate of more than 4,500,000 votes, including the votes
under the Initial Irrevocable Proxy and the Additional Irrevocable Proxy
described below, which reduction will be applied pro rata to each stockholder
who is a party to the Initial Irrevocable Proxy and the Additional Irrevocable
Proxy.
- The Initial Irrevocable
Proxy will terminate upon the earlier of (i) January 12, 2009, (ii) the
conversion by CNI of all its shares of Series B Stock into Common Stock, (iii)
CNI's ownership of the capital stock of the Company on a converted basis
falling below 10% or (iv) the weighted average closing price for 20 consecutive
trading days on NASDAQ of the Common Stock exceeding $15.00.
The stockholders who have granted CNI the Existing
Irrevocable Proxy are the following persons with respect to the number of
shares of Common Stock indicated: Oliver R. Grace, Jr.: 122,627 shares; Francis
E. Baker: 20,438 shares; and The Anglo American Security Fund, L.P.: 20,438
shares.

In addition, CNI has received an additional
irrevocable proxy and power of attorney (the Additional Irrevocable Proxy")
from stockholders with respect to 654,009 shares of Common Stock. The terms of the Additional Irrevocable
Proxy provide as follows:
- During the term of the
Additional Irrevocable Proxy, CNI will have the ability to vote the shares of
Common Stock which are subject to the Additional Irrevocable Proxy at any
meeting of stockholders or consent action in lieu of a meeting at CNI's sole
discretion.
- At any time, a
stockholder who is a party to the Additional Irrevocable Proxy may sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Common Stock subject to
the Additional Irrevocable Proxy, subject to the right of CNI to exercise a
right to acquire all such shares proposed to be transferred on the same terms
as they are proposed to be transferred to a third party.
- If CNI converts any of
its shares of Series B Stock into Common Stock, the number of shares subject to
the Additional Irrevocable Proxy will be reduced by such number of shares of
Common Stock having voting power equal to the additional voting power acquired
by CNI as a result of such conversion to the extent that the conversion causes
CNI to have an aggregate of more than 4,500,000 votes, including the votes
under the Initial Irrevocable Proxy and the Additional Irrevocable Proxy, which
reduction will be applied pro rata to each stockholder who is a party to the
Additional Irrevocable Proxy and the Initial Irrevocable Proxy.
- The Additional
Irrevocable Proxy will terminate upon the earlier of (i) January 12, 2009, (ii)
the conversion by CNI of all its shares of Series B Stock into shares of Common
Stock, (iii) CNI's ownership of the capital stock of the Company on a converted
basis falling below 10% or (iv) the weighted-average closing price for 20
consecutive trading days on NASDAQ of the Common Stock exceeding $15.00.
The Company has been informed by CNI that CNI borrowed the entire purchase price of $22.5 million for the purchase of the Series B Stock from its affiliate Renova Industries Ltd., a company incorporated in The Commonwealth of the Bahamas. No cash consideration was paid in connection with the issuance of the Warrants.
