Item 1.02. Termination of Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 8, 2010, the Stockholders’ Agreement dated July 2, 2009, by and among NextWave Wireless Inc. (the “Company”), NextWave Broadband Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“NextWave Broadband”), PacketVideo Corporation (“PacketVideo”), and NTT DOCOMO, INC. (“DOCOMO”) was terminated in connection with the closing of the Transaction (as defined and described below in Item 2.01 of this current report).

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On October 8, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated July 30, 2010 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, NextWave Broadband Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, PacketVideo and DOCOMO, NextWave Broadband completed the sale to DOCOMO of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of PacketVideo held by NextWave Broadband (the “Shares”), representing 65% of the issued and outstanding common stock of PacketVideo, for an aggregate purchase price of $111.6 million (the “Transaction”).

The Transaction resulted in estimated net cash proceeds of approximately $106.5 million, after deduction of estimated expenses for the transaction, of which approximately $94.0 million is being applied to retire principal and accrued interest on the Company’s Senior Secured First Lien Notes pursuant to its secured note agreements, and approximately $12.5 million is being retained by the Company to fund its working capital needs. The Transaction was approved by the stockholders of the Company at a special meeting held on October 1, 2010.

Upon completion of the Transaction, PacketVideo became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DOCOMO. DOCOMO had previously acquired 35% of the issued and outstanding common stock of PacketVideo in July 2009. In connection with the July 2009 transaction, the Company, NextWave Broadband, PacketVideo and DOCOMO entered into a Stockholders’ Agreement dated July 2, 2009, pursuant to which, among other things, DOCOMO was granted the right (the “Option”) to purchase all of the remaining shares of common stock of PacketVideo held by NextWave Broadband. The closing of the Transaction represented the completion of DOCOMO’s exercise of the Option as contemplated by the Stockholders’ Agreement. As described above, the Stockholders’ Agreement was terminated in connection with the closing of the Transaction.

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company, NextWave Broadband and PacketVideo made customary representations to DOCOMO relating to PacketVideo and the ownership of the Shares. Such representations and warranties will survive for 8 months following the Closing Date and will be subject to indemnification pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, subject to a cap of $8 million with certain exceptions.

The Company and NextWave Broadband have also agreed not to compete with PacketVideo’s business, solicit its employees, or induce its customers to terminate or modify their relationship with PacketVideo, subject to limited exceptions, for a period of two years following the Closing Date.

The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement contained in this Item 2.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2010, and incorporated herein by reference.
