Item 3. |
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
On December 17, 2009, the Issuer issued 100 shares of its Series J Preferred Stock (the "Series J Securities") to DTHC. The consideration for the Series J Securities was the stock of DTHC's subsidiary entities, and this transaction was effected pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 3, 2008, by and among DTHC, the Issuer, Bas Mattingly Master, LLC, Bernard A. Schafer Trust, LLC, Building Blocks Family Trust, and North Star Trust Company (solely in its capacity as trustee of the ESOT) (as amended pursuant to the First Amendment to Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 30, 2008, the "Stock Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to acquire the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DTHC's subsidiary entities in exchange for various types of consideration, including the Series J Securities. The foregoing discussion of the Stock Purchase Agreement does not purport to be a full discussion of such agreement and is qualified by the agreement itself, which is incorporated by reference herein from Exhibit 99.1 of the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 6, 2008 and, with respect to the amendment, Exhibit 99.1 of the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 2, 2009.
The Series J Securities are nonvoting and are convertible into the Issuer's common stock at the discretion of DTHC and are described more fully in the Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series J Convertible Preferred Stock of Multiband Corporation. The foregoing discussion of the Series J Securities and the Certificate of Designations does not purport to be a full discussion of such items and is qualified by the Certificate of Designations itself, which is incorporated by reference herein from Annex 1 of the Issuer's Definitive Proxy Statement Schedule 14A filed November 24, 2009.
|
Item 4. |
Purpose of Transaction |
DTHC acquired the Series J Securities on December 17, 2009. DTHC acquired the Series J Securities in connection with, and as consideration for, the sale of DTHC's subsidiaries pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.
DTHC presently plans to dispose of up to 1,704,794 shares of the Issuer's common stock beneficially owned by DTHC. The Issuer filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement on September 7, 2010, to register the sale of such shares. DTHC anticipates that such disposition would primarily involve privately negotiated block sales although it might also involve open-market or other transactions. DTHC is presently evaluating its ownership position with respect to the Issuer.
Except as set forth herein, DTHC has no present intent or proposals that would relate to or result in the plans or actions described in Item 4 sub-items (a) - (j) of the Security and Exchange Commission's Schedule 13D Form. DTHC reserves the right to determine in the future whether to change its plans or proposals described above and whether to adopt plans or proposals of the type described in such sub-items (a) - (j).

Item 5. |
Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
(a) The total number of shares that DTHC beneficially owns is 6,704,794, which represents 44.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer. Of those shares, 5,000,000 are presently in the form of non-voting Series J Securities, the conversion of which has been assumed for purposes of calculating the total number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage of ownership of the Issuer's common stock. DTHC director Thomas Beaudreau beneficially owns options to acquire 150,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock, which represents 1.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer. DTHC director Henry Block beneficially owns options to acquire 25,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock, which represents 0.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer.
(b) DTHC presently holds the sole power to vote and dispose of 1,704,794 shares of the common stock of the Issuer and, upon conversion of the Series J Securities, would have the sole power to vote and dispose of an additional 5,000,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock. Messrs. Beaudreau and Block, respectively, would have the sole power to vote and dispose of the common stock they have the right to acquire.
(c) On August 2, 2010, the Issuer issued 99,726 shares of common stock to DTHC as a Series J Securities dividend.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
