Jan. 11, 2018:

NEW YORK– Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC acted as a financial advisor in connection with the following offering. Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (Nasdaq: HMNY) (“HMNY”), a provider of information technology services and solutions and a majority 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 an institutional investor for HMNY to issue convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $60 million (the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes 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 investor 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 fixed conversion price of $11.44, subject to adjustment.

Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, at the closing of the financing, the investor will pay for the Notes with $25 million in cash up front and an investor note in the principal amount of $35 million payable to HMNY (the “Investor Note”). The investor may prepay the remaining balance of the Investor Note, with the resulting cash being paid to HMNY, in its discretion.

Canaccord Genuity Inc. acted as sole placement agent for the financing. Palladium Capital Advisors LLC acted as a financial advisor to HMNY in connection with the financing.
