SUBJECT TO AMENDMENT AND COMPLETION, DATED APRIL 10, 2009

PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF

VICTORY ACQUISITION CORP.

PROSPECTUS FOR

UP TO

42,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Victory Acquisition Corp. (“Victory”) is pleased to report that its board of directors and the board of directors of TouchTunes Corporation (“TouchTunes”) have approved an agreement and plan of reorganization, dated March 23, 2009, among Victory, VAC Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), TouchTunes and VantagePoint CDP Partners, L.P., a significant stockholder of TouchTunes (“VantagePoint”), which, among other things, provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into TouchTunes with TouchTunes being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory. Victory will thereafter operate under the name “TouchTunes Corporation.” As of April 1, 2009, the holders of common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes will receive in the merger 30,511,427 shares of Victory common stock. Additionally, all outstanding TouchTunes’ options and warrants shall be cancelled and substituted with options and warrants of similar tenor to purchase an aggregate of 4,430,548 shares of Victory common stock, which, as of April 1, 2009, includes warrants to purchase 808,029 shares of Victory common stock and vested options to purchase 1,658,571 shares of Victory common stock. The holders of common stock, preferred stock and options of TouchTunes will also have the right to receive, as of April 1, 2009, up to an additional 9,861,025 shares of Victory common stock, of which 618,325 relate to unvested options, if the combined company’s earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) exceeds an aggregate of $50 million for any two consecutive quarters during the period ending on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger. We refer to these additional shares as the “EBITDA Shares.” The EBITDA Shares will be issued at the closing of the merger and will be placed in escrow until they are earned. If the EBITDA target is not met, the EBITDA Shares shall be returned to Victory for cancellation. If the EBITDA target is met, the TouchTunes’ warrants shall also be adjusted to purchase an additional 257,301 shares of Victory common stock. The actual number of shares of Victory common stock to be issued in the merger, as well as the actual number of EBITDA Shares to be issued, will change based on any exercises of TouchTunes options and warrants prior to the closing of the merger. For purposes of presentation, all figures relating to share amounts and TouchTunes stock options and warrants are presented as they existed as of April 1, 2009. The actual figures will not be known until consummation of the merger.

Proposals to approve the merger agreement and the other matters discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus will be presented at the special meeting of stockholders of Victory scheduled to be held on April     , 2009.

Upon completion of the merger, the current holders of common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes will own 30,511,427 shares of Victory common stock and the current holders of common stock of Victory will own 40,500,000 shares of Victory common stock. See the section entitled “The Merger Proposal — Structure of the Merger.” Of the shares of Victory common stock to be owned by the holders of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock, 10% of the shares to be issued in the merger (3,051,143 as of April 1, 2009) will be placed in escrow to provide a fund to satisfy indemnification obligations under the merger agreement.

Victory’s common stock, units and warrants are currently listed on the NYSE Amex under the symbols VRY, VRY.U and VRY.WS, respectively. The parties intend to seek to have the securities of Victory listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market following consummation of the merger under the symbols TTUN, TTUNU and TTUNW.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before you decide whether to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

General Risks Related to TouchTunes’ Business and Operations Following the Merger

The value of your investment in Victory following consummation of the merger will be subject to the significant risks affecting TouchTunes and inherent in its business. The risks described below are not the only risks TouchTunes faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to TouchTunes or that TouchTunes currently deems to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect TouchTunes’ business and operations. If any of the events described below occur, TouchTunes’ post-acquisition business and financial results could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to TouchTunes

TouchTunes has a history of substantial losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

TouchTunes has incurred losses from operations in all years but one since inception. TouchTunes had net losses of $11.1 million, $16.5 million and $3.2 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, December 30, 2007 and December 28, 2008. At the close of the fiscal year ending December 28, 2008, TouchTunes had a net accumulated deficit of $32.7 million. Although TouchTunes achieved profitability in the last two quarters of 2008, there is no assurance that TouchTunes will achieve or maintain profitability in 2009 or in any later years. TouchTunes anticipates that its expenses will increase significantly in 2009 following the merger as it accelerates the deployment of its Barfly network in advance of potential revenue from such network, which will materially adversely affect TouchTunes’ results from operations. In addition, TouchTunes’ expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as it:

 

•

continues its expansion into additional revenue channels, including digital advertising;

 

•

continues to undertake product development efforts;

 

•

acquires and integrates products and businesses;

 

•

expands its internal systems and infrastructure; and

 

•

hires additional personnel.

In order to maintain profitability, TouchTunes will need to continue to expand, and successfully integrate, new lines of business and revenues. The patronage of local bars, which constitutes the principal market for digital jukeboxes, has decreased, due to the implementation of smoking bans in several states, decline in the importance of neighborhood bars and an increased enforcement of laws prohibiting driving motor vehicles under the influence of alcohol. There can be no assurances that these factors will not affect systems revenue and services revenue in the future or that TouchTunes’ expansion plans will be successfully implemented and will be adequate to offset the impact of any such revenue decline. In addition, any decline in the addressable bar market or the growth rate of TouchTunes’ sales within such bar market could adversely effect its business and the execution of its business strategy.

TouchTunes’ revenue to date has been derived almost exclusively from sales and leases of digital jukebox systems and from music service revenue from these systems. TouchTunes’ failure to integrate and deploy PlayPorTT systems and to generate advertising revenue from all of its systems, including Barfly systems, could adversely affect TouchTunes’ growth and financial condition.

Although TouchTunes’ strategy is to become a provider of integrated interactive content and advertising services on all of its systems, to date, TouchTunes’ revenue has come almost exclusively from sales and leases of

 

15

Table of Contents

its digital jukebox systems and from music service revenues generated by those systems. TouchTunes only recently introduced its PlayPorTT system, and has deployed most of these units in restaurant locations, a target market that TouchTunes has only recently begun to penetrate. Most of these restaurant locations do not have TouchTunes jukebox systems on premise and, therefore, there are few locations where PlayPorTT and TouchTunes’ jukebox systems are working on an integrated basis. In addition, TouchTunes initiated its advertising strategy in 2008 and, to date, has only received advertising revenue from one advertising campaign, which was conducted on the company’s jukebox systems in 20 markets. No advertising revenue has been derived to date from advertising on PlayPorTT or on Barfly screens and TouchTunes has not entered into any agreements to provide advertising on these systems. There can be no assurances that TouchTunes will be able to successfully market and sell to bars, restaurants and other venues all of its systems and services on an integrated basis, which would materially adversely affect TouchTunes’ profitability and prospects.

Further, the costs associated with expanding the network of PlayPorTT and Barfly systems will require additional investments and significant management time, which will negatively impact TouchTunes’ cash flows. The failure to achieve revenue growth from these investments could adversely affect TouchTunes’ overall financial performance.

Since PlayPorTT is early in its product life cycle, no pattern has yet been established for typical monthly service revenue. While existing in-location game systems provide a point of comparison, PlayPorTT is a new product category that provides a different consumer value proposition, which may lead to a different revenue profile than TouchTunes’ jukebox systems, and which may also vary from the results produced by a relatively small number of units during the first few months of operations. Further, operation of PlayPorTT products requires a broadband connection and only approximately 38% of the locations where TouchTunes jukeboxes are located currently have broadband connection, which may further delay or hinder the expansion of the PlayPorTT network.

TouchTunes’ revenue model and strategy is evolving and there is no assurance that TouchTunes will achieve success in the market and will yield profitable results.

Historically, TouchTunes has principally sold its jukebox systems to distributors and operators, together with a five-year license for music content to play exclusively on TouchTunes’ systems, which have been deployed primarily in bars. With the introduction of PlayPorTT, TouchTunes is focusing on regional and national restaurant chains and is deploying the initial PlayPorTT systems without charge, with substantially all revenue expected to be derived from usage fees from games and other digital content. TouchTunes also deploys its Barfly systems without charge and expects that revenue from these systems in the foreseeable future will come, if at all, from advertising fees. TouchTunes’ strategy is also dependent in part on its success in selling multiple systems into single locations--such as digital jukeboxes and PlayPorTT systems. This would allow the company to integrate these systems, which TouchTunes believes will enhance its per system revenues. In addition, TouchTunes’ future growth strategy depends on TouchTunes’ integration of its new products and growth into venues, such as restaurants, where TouchTunes has limited experience. If TouchTunes is not successful in its digital advertising strategy, and is not able to successfully deploy multiple systems in the restaurant and bar locations where its products are placed, its prospects and results of operations will likely materially adversely affected.

TouchTunes may not succeed in its strategy to attract advertisers to advertise on its various systems and network.

Since the second quarter of 2008, when TouchTunes launched its digital advertising initiative, TouchTunes has conducted over 20 promotional campaigns with music labels and artists free of charge, in an effort to demonstrate effectiveness and measurability of advertising on the TouchTunes network and the capabilities of the network technology. While TouchTunes considered these promotional campaigns to be successful, TouchTunes may not be able to duplicate these results consistently, or at all, and TouchTunes may not be able to attract advertisers on a paying basis for these services.

Table of Contents

The amount of fees that TouchTunes will be able to charge advertisers for time slots on its digital entertainment systems will depend, among other things, on the size of its out-of-home network, the quality of available content, the number of user impressions, and TouchTunes brand name and reputation. In addition, the fees that TouchTunes will be able to charge advertisers for advertising space on its digital entertainment systems will depend on the quality of the locations in which TouchTunes places advertising and the demand by advertisers for advertising space. To date, only one company-Verizon Wireless-has engaged TouchTunes, on a commercial basis, to conduct an advertising campaign, leaving TouchTunes with relatively little experience in providing such services or in determining the likely advertising revenue that can be generated by these services. If TouchTunes is unable to secure a sufficient number of the most desirable locations for deployment of its advertising space, it may be unable to attract advertisers to purchase advertising space on its out-of-home network, TouchTunes may fail to successfully implement its advertising strategy and to attract advertisers to purchase time slots and frame space on its network at targeted fee levels, which could materially adversely affect its ability to increase its total revenues in the future. For example, TouchTunes’ currently installed digital jukeboxes are located primarily in bars. However, in order to expand its PlayPorTT and Barfly sales bases, TouchTunes will have to expand its customer base to include more restaurants. These new target customers will have different needs and may require TouchTunes to implement a different sales process and distribution model.

TouchTunes depends on component and product manufacturing and logistics services provided by third parties, some of which are the sole source for specific components or systems. TouchTunes’ production may be seriously harmed if these suppliers are not able to meet TouchTunes’ demand and alternative sources are not available, or if the costs of components or related costs rise.

TouchTunes assembles and tests its PlayPorTT and Barfly systems. However, TouchTunes’ digital jukebox systems and most of the components in TouchTunes’ PlayPorTT and Barfly systems are manufactured in whole or in part by third-party manufacturers. A significant concentration of this outsourced manufacturing is currently performed under a new manufacturing relationship with a Taiwanese company, International Currency Technologies Inc. (“ICT”). ICT began to manufacture TouchTunes’ newest digital jukebox system, the Allegro MX-1, and the new computer used in all TouchTunes’ digital jukeboxes, incorporating TouchTunes’ proprietary designs, in mid-2008. Shipment of Allegro MX-1 digital jukeboxes and computers began in the fall of 2008. TouchTunes also has outsourced much of its transportation and logistics management. Alternative sources may not be currently available to manufacture the Allegro MX-1.

While TouchTunes’ arrangements with ICT and other third party manufacturers and distributors may lower operating costs, such arrangements also reduce TouchTunes’ direct control over production and distribution. In addition, TouchTunes may be responsible to a purchaser of its digital jukeboxes for warranty service in the event of product defects. For example, in 2006, a new lighting system manufactured by a third party and installed in certain TouchTunes digital jukebox systems experienced electrical wiring problems that led to incidences of fire conditions at approximately six bar and operator locations. This in turn resulted in the need to redesign and replace the lighting and the need to disconnect a number of units prior to replacement of the lighting. It is uncertain what effect TouchTunes’ diminished control over existing and new manufacturing relationships will have on the quality or supply of products or services, or TouchTunes’ flexibility to respond to changing market conditions. Foreign manufacturing can also be affected by factors such as currency devaluation, other currency fluctuations, tariffs, nationalization, exchange controls, interest rates, and other political, economic and regulatory risks and difficulties. Any unanticipated delay in the production or shipment of TouchTunes’ products, whether pursuant to arrangements with ICT or otherwise, may have a material adverse effect on TouchTunes’ reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

TouchTunes relies on licenses to music rights and to other third-party digital content, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

TouchTunes contracts with third parties to offer music on their digital jukeboxes, and, with growing importance, to offer additional digital content on its other digital entertainment systems. TouchTunes pays

substantial fees to obtain the rights to certain of this content, particularly music. TouchTunes’ music licensing arrangements are generally under contracts with terms of for two or three years, and the terms in agreements for other forms of digital content vary. TouchTunes cannot guarantee the continuation or renewal of existing arrangements on similar pricing and other terms, or at all. If the cost of digital content on TouchTunes’ digital entertainment systems increases, or if TouchTunes is unable to continue to offer a wide variety of content at reasonable cost with acceptable usage rules, TouchTunes financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

TouchTunes depends on its intellectual property to make its products competitive and if it is unable to protect its intellectual property, its business could suffer.

TouchTunes relies on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark law, and nondisclosure agreements to establish and protect its intellectual property rights in its products. As of March 31, 2009, TouchTunes owned over 50 patents and/or applications for patents, more than 200 foreign patents and/or applications for foreign patents, including applications for patents, over 20 registered trademarks and/or applications for registered foreign trademarks in the United States, over 145 registered foreign trademarks and/or applications for registered trademarks, and one registered foreign copyright. TouchTunes believes that, due to the rapid pace of technological innovations in its industry, its ability to establish and maintain a position among the technology leaders in the industry depends on its patents and other intellectual property as well as the skills of its development personnel. TouchTunes cannot make any assurance that any of its intellectual property, including any patent, trademark, copyright or license owned or held by it will not be invalidated, circumvented, rendered unenforceable or challenged, that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to TouchTunes, or that any of TouchTunes’ future patent applications will be issued with the scope of the claims asserted by TouchTunes, if at all. Further, no assurances can be made that third parties or competitors will not develop technologies that are similar or superior to TouchTunes’ technology, duplicate TouchTunes’ technology, design around its patents, or reverse engineer its technology and discover its non-public intellectual property and trade secrets. TouchTunes’ intellectual property could be infringed or misappropriated by a third party or competitors, an event that could require that TouchTunes take action to protect its intellectual property, which could be costly and time consuming.

TouchTunes may be subject to or may initiate proceedings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office in state or federal court in the United States, or in another government tribunal. Such proceedings can require significant financial and management resources. In addition, the laws of foreign countries in which TouchTunes’ products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold may not protect TouchTunes’ products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. TouchTunes’ inability to protect its intellectual property adequately could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Because of technological changes in the electronics and software industry, current extensive patent coverage, and the rapid issuance of new patents, it is possible that certain components of TouchTunes’ products and business methods may unknowingly infringe the patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. TouchTunes is involved in ongoing litigation over several of its patents and third-party patents, including patent litigation with Arachnid, Inc. and AMI Entertainment, Inc., as well as a principal competitor, Rowe International/Merit Industries, Inc. (the “Rowe claim”). In addition, from time to time, TouchTunes has been notified that it may be infringing other third party intellectual property rights. Responding to such claims, regardless of their merit, can consume significant time and expense, and several pending claims are in various stages of evaluation. Moreover, litigation is both time-consuming and disruptive to TouchTunes’ operations and causes significant expense and diversion of management attention. Should TouchTunes fail to prevail in the Rowe claim, or in other claims or proceedings, or should any of these matters be resolved against TouchTunes, TouchTunes could potentially require a license from one or more of these parties (and it is uncertain whether TouchTunes could obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, or otherwise) or TouchTunes potentially could become subject to a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting TouchTunes from marketing or selling certain products, which in turn could increase its operating costs and materially adversely affect its financial condition.

TouchTunes relies on access to certain third-party patents and intellectual property, and its future results could be materially adversely affected if TouchTunes is alleged or found to have infringed intellectual property rights.

TouchTunes’ digital jukeboxes and other digital entertainment systems are designed to include certain third-party intellectual property, such as licensing for MP3 technology, and it may be necessary in the future to seek or renew licenses relating to various aspects of TouchTunes’ products and business methods. Although TouchTunes believes that, based on past experience and industry practice, such licenses generally could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, there is no assurance that the necessary licenses would be available on acceptable terms or at all.

TouchTunes may be subject to network disruptions and breaches in data security.

TouchTunes’ network is designed to capture all transaction data from its jukeboxes and PlayPorTT systems, including data with respect to each song played, impressions and customer credit card information. Network disruptions and breaches of data security could disrupt TouchTunes’ operations by causing the loss of this data and delays or cancellations of customers orders, negatively affecting TouchTunes’ services, impeding processing transactions and reporting financial results, resulting in the unintentional disclosure of customer or TouchTunes’ information, or damage to TouchTunes’ reputation. In addition, many third-party content providers require that TouchTunes provide certain digital rights management (“DRM”) and other security solutions. While TouchTunes has developed its own proprietary DRM solution, if these security requirements change, TouchTunes may have to develop or license new technology to provide these solutions. Although TouchTunes’ management has taken steps to address these concerns by implementing sophisticated network security and internal control measures, there can be no assurance that a system failure or data security breach will not have a material adverse effect on TouchTunes’ financial condition and results of operations.

The market for digital jukeboxes and other out-of-home digital entertainment systems is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change. TouchTunes may not be able to compete effectively in these markets.

TouchTunes competes in markets that are highly competitive and characterized by frequent introduction of new products and technologies, short product life cycles, evolving industry standards, continual improvement in product price/performance characteristics, rapid adoption of technological and product advancements by competitors, and price sensitivity on the part of consumers.

TouchTunes’ ability to compete successfully depends heavily on its ability to ensure a continuing and timely introduction of new innovative products and technologies to the marketplace. As a result, TouchTunes must make significant investments in product development and in achieving broad placement of its products and services in its markets. If TouchTunes is unable to continue to develop and commercialize innovative new products, its financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Historically, TouchTunes has faced substantial competition from two other principal digital jukebox companies–Ecast Inc. and Rowe International/Merit Industries Inc., the latter of which has significantly greater financial and other resources than TouchTunes. With TouchTunes’ expansion into other forms of digital entertainment, TouchTunes will compete with additional companies that have significant technical, marketing, distribution, and other resources, as well as established hardware, software, and digital content supplier and customer relationships. Some current and potential competitors have substantial resources and experience, and they may be able to provide such products and services at little or no profit or even at a loss. There can be no assurance that TouchTunes will be able to continue to provide products and services that effectively compete.

TouchTunes sells its jukeboxes and other systems and services through a fragmented distribution channel of distributors and operators.

TouchTunes sells its jukebox systems to distributors, who in turn sell them to jukebox operators, and TouchTunes sells these systems directly to jukebox operators as well. These operators, in turn, place these

Table of Contents

systems in bars and restaurants which do not have direct contractual relationships with TouchTunes. Many of TouchTunes distributors also distribute products from competing manufacturers. This distribution channel involves over 2,800 operators and no TouchTunes’ customer accounts for more than 5% of TouchTunes’ revenue or owns more than 5% of TouchTunes’ digital jukebox systems.

If TouchTunes is unable to effectively implement or maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately or timely report financial results, which could materially adversely affect TouchTunes and its business.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that a public company evaluate the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting in its annual report on Form 10-K for that fiscal year. Section 404 also requires that a public company’s independent registered public accounting firm attest to, and report on, the company’s internal control over financial reporting. As a private company, TouchTunes currently is not subject to these requirements and therefore currently does not have all of the procedures and systems in place that would be required if it already were subject to these requirements.

As a public entity, TouchTunes will be required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. TouchTunes’ ability to comply with the annual internal control report requirements will depend on the effectiveness of its financial reporting and data systems and controls across TouchTunes’ operations. TouchTunes has begun the process of documenting its internal control procedures to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, and expects these systems and controls to involve significant expenditures and to become increasingly complex as TouchTunes’ business grows and as TouchTunes makes and integrates acquisitions. To effectively manage this complexity, TouchTunes will need to continue to improve its operational, financial and management controls and its reporting systems and procedures.

If TouchTunes is not able to implement the required new or improved controls, or encounters difficulties in the implementation or operation of these controls, its independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify the adequacy of its internal controls over financial reporting. This failure could cause TouchTunes to be unable to report its financial information on a timely basis and thereby subject it to adverse regulatory consequences, including sanctions by the SEC or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules. There could also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in TouchTunes and the reliability of its financial statements. Confidence in the reliability of TouchTunes’ financial statements also could suffer if its independent registered public accounting firm were to report a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting. If any of these events were to occur, TouchTunes’ business could be adversely affected.

If TouchTunes is unable to recruit and retain experienced management personnel and recruit and retain additional qualified personnel, its business and prospects could be adversely affected.

The success of TouchTunes following the merger will depend in significant part on its ability to retain its senior executives and other key personnel in technical, marketing and staff positions. TouchTunes has experienced significant turnover in the past several years, including departures in the recent past of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer. TouchTunes’ current chief executive officer is serving on a transitional basis, while TouchTunes is actively engaged in a search for a new chief executive officer. Additionally, TouchTunes’ Chief Financial Officer was recently hired. Experienced personnel in the technology and media industry are in high demand and competition for their talents is intense. There can be no assurance that TouchTunes will be able to successfully attract and retain a new highly qualified chief executive officer and other key personnel, either in existing markets and market segments or in new areas that it enters. If TouchTunes is unable to recruit and retain an experienced management team or recruit and retain additional qualified personnel, its business, and consequently its sales and results of operations, may be materially adversely affected.

The principal stockholder of TouchTunes will have significant influence on decisions regarding the business of the resulting entity.

If a business combination with TouchTunes is consummated, based on the outstanding shares of TouchTunes and Victory as of the date hereof, TouchTunes’ largest stockholder, VantagePoint and its affiliates, will own approximately 33% of the shares of the resulting entity. If shares are purchased by Victory, TouchTunes or the holders of common stock or preferred stock of TouchTunes, then VantagePoint along with existing stockholders of TouchTunes will hold a greater percentage of the combined entity. As a condition to the consummation of the Merger, VantagePoint will enter into a voting agreement with Victory and certain stockholders of Victory including former TouchTunes’ stockholders and Jon Ledecky and Eric Watson. The voting agreement will provide that, as long as VantagePoint holds a number of shares at least equal to 50% of the shares of Victory that it holds at the time of the Merger (but not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Victory), VantagePoint will have the voting power to designate and elect four of the seven members of the board of directors of Victory. This voting agreement will also permit VantagePoint to control the outcome of certain actions submitted by the Board of Directors to the stockholders of Victory for their approval. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of Victory’s common stock.

TouchTunes customers may experience financial difficulty, particularly in the current economic climate.

TouchTunes has sold a substantial number of digital jukebox systems to operators in the “automotive” states. If the financial condition of the United States’ auto industry worsens, these areas may become economically depressed resulting in significant decline in revenue per system. In addition, TouchTunes has in the past extended credit and payment terms to many of its customers. While TouchTunes performs frequent credit evaluations of its distributors and operators to which it extends payment terms for equipment, there can be no assurances that TouchTunes’ customers will not experience financial difficulty and be unable to make payments to TouchTunes. For example, at least two of TouchTunes’ operators have recently filed for debtor protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. TouchTunes could suffer significant losses in the event of a customer’s bankruptcy, insolvency or other credit failure if TouchTunes were unable to reclaim any systems for which it retains ownership or to discontinue its music services if either TouchTunes is not being paid or the system is not connected to the network and generating any revenue. A significant loss of an accounts receivable or the inability to redeploy systems would have a negative impact on TouchTunes’ recurring service revenues and financial results.

Advertising in bars is subject to state regulation that varies and these regulations could adversely affect alcoholic-beverage advertising on TouchTunes’ network.

Most states have alcoholic beverage control laws and regulations that apply to TouchTunes’ proposed digital advertising activities in bars via Barfly. TouchTunes has focused its efforts on understanding the potential applicability and effect of these statutes in a number of states that have the most potential for advertising revenue and is working with those states’ attorneys general to ensure that its digital advertising services comply with applicable laws and regulations. TouchTunes’ efforts, however, may not be successful. Laws and regulations may be adopted in the United States and elsewhere that could restrict the placement of content on out-of-home entertainment and advertising systems and these laws could vary significantly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. These laws include laws and regulations relating to alcoholic beverage control, customer privacy, taxation, content suitability, copyright, distribution and antitrust. Changes in current state or federal laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations in the United States or elsewhere regarding the out-of-home advertising industries may lessen the growth of out-of- home advertising services and may materially reduce TouchTunes’ ability to attract sales of alcoholic-beverage advertising on its network.

If TouchTunes engages in acquisitions, TouchTunes may experience significant costs and difficulty assimilating the operations or personnel of the acquired companies, which could threaten TouchTunes’ future growth.

If TouchTunes makes any acquisitions, it could have difficulty assimilating the operations, technologies and products acquired or integrating or retaining personnel of acquired companies. TouchTunes has acquired two

 

21

Table of Contents

companies in the past year and a half and is still in the process of integrating their products and personnel and there is no assurance that the products arising from those acquisitions, PlayporTT and Barfly, will be successfully deployed in the market. Acquisitions may involve entering markets in which TouchTunes has no or limited direct prior experience. The occurrence of any one or more of these factors could disrupt TouchTunes’ ongoing business, distract its management and employees and increase its expenses. In addition, pursuing acquisition opportunities could divert its management’s attention from its ongoing business operations and result in decreased operating performance. Moreover, TouchTunes’ profitability may suffer because of acquisition-related costs or amortization of acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. Furthermore, TouchTunes may have to incur debt or issue equity securities in future acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities would dilute its existing stockholders. TouchTunes is not in any discussions to make acquisitions with any party.

A failure of TouchTunes’ proprietary operating system or a catastrophic event at its primary facility could result in reduced revenue and the loss of customers.

TouchTunes’ digital jukeboxes and other systems are dependent on the operation of TouchTunes’ proprietary operating system, which allows it to communicate and service these systems remotely. TouchTunes’ ability to manage future growth, if it occurs, will depend upon the scalability, reliability and security of its operating system. Although designed to be highly scalable, TouchTunes’ operating system could experience an unforeseen operational failure. Moreover, maintaining TouchTunes’ operating system as a state-of-the-art system could be more expensive than TouchTunes expects. Operational failures could be expensive to remedy and could require TouchTunes to develop additional capacity and computing power. An expansion of TouchTunes’ network infrastructure to process increasingly numerous and complex services could result in inefficiencies and may increase the risk of an operational failure. The costs associated with a system operational failure could harm TouchTunes’ results of operations and its reputation with current or future customers and with users.

TouchTunes’ operations facility where its network is hosted is vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, loss of primary and backup generator and battery power, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, wars, Internet failures, computer viruses, adverse weather conditions and other events beyond its control. While backups of critical data systems are performed daily and backups stored in a secure third party location, TouchTunes does not currently have the capability to immediately switch over all of its systems to a back-up facility. In June 2009, TouchTunes plans to move its digital jukebox servers to a secure data center co-location facility, which is intended to provide redundancy. In the event that a catastrophic event destroys or severely damages TouchTunes’ operations facility, TouchTunes could lose music service and royalty fee and other customer data, its business would be disrupted and TouchTunes’ ability to provide services to its clients could be impaired for an extended period of time. An unexpected closure of TouchTunes’ operations facility could result in lengthy interruptions in its services. Any damage to or failure of TouchTunes’ systems could result in interruptions to its services, which could reduce its revenue and profits and damage its brand.

TouchTunes may apply the proceeds released from the trust account in a manner that does not improve TouchTunes’ results of operations or increase the value of an investment in TouchTunes.

TouchTunes intends to use the net proceeds released from the trust account for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures to accelerate the roll-out of its Barfly network, PlayPorTT systems and other digital entertainment systems. TouchTunes estimates that it may spend up to $60 million to accelerate and complete the roll-over of 30,000 units in the Barfly network by the end of 2010 and up to $40 million to accelerate and complete the deployment of 20,000 PlayPorTT units over the next two years. Expanding the size of TouchTunes’ Barfly network, however, may not result in advertising revenue, either at all or at a needed level. TouchTunes may also use a portion of the net proceeds to repay its senior secured credit facility which would reduce the funds available to operate and expand its business. As of April 1, 2009, TouchTunes had $44 million in outstanding indebtedness under its senior secured credit facility, with $39 million outstanding under its multi-draw term loan and $5 million outstanding under its revolving line of credit. TouchTunes will also repay its outstanding $5,000,000 promissory note to VantagePoint upon the closing of

the merger. TouchTunes recently acquired TouchTunes Game Studio, LLC (f/k/a White Rabbit Game Studio, LLC) (“TGS”) and National Broadcast Media Corp (“Barfly”) part of its strategy to further expand its business. If after the merger, TouchTunes is presented with appropriate opportunities, TouchTunes may acquire additional businesses, services or products that are complementary to TouchTunes’ core business. TouchTunes integration of TGS and Barfly as well as future acquired entities into TouchTunes’ business may not be successful. This would significantly affect the expected benefits of these acquisitions. Moreover, the integration of any acquired companies into TouchTunes’ operations have required, and will continue to require, significant attention from its management. Future acquisitions will also likely present similar challenges and could have an adverse effect on TouchTunes’ ability to manage its business. In addition, TouchTunes may face challenges trying to integrate new operations, services and personnel with its existing operations.

Other than these uses, TouchTunes does not have specific plans for the funds and will have broad discretion regarding how it uses such funds. These funds could be applied in ways that do not improve TouchTunes’ results of operations or increase the value of your investment.

Changing tax laws, rules and regulations are subject to interpretation by applicable taxing authorities. If interpretations or tax laws, rules and regulations were to change, this may adversely affect TouchTunes’ business, financial condition and results of operations.

TouchTunes operates in all, or almost all, of the states in the United States, and its products are subject to various domestic and international sales, use, value-added and other tax laws, rules and regulations. TouchTunes downloads digital content to its products, which consumers use. Regulations for use of digital media are subject to change, and applicable laws, rules and regulations are subject to interpretation by the applicable taxing authorities. TouchTunes attempts to be in compliance with all applicable tax provisions. However, compliance with these tax provisions is not necessarily clear in all cases and taxing authorities may take a contrary position. Such positions could have an adverse effect on TouchTunes’ businesses, financial condition and results of operations. If the tax laws, rules and regulations were amended or if current interpretations of the laws were to change adversely to TouchTunes’ interests, particularly with respect to sales or value-added taxes, the results could have an adverse affect on TouchTunes’ businesses, results of operations and financial condition.

Exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar could harm TouchTunes’ operations and financial condition

The majority of TouchTunes’ revenues are generated in U.S. dollars. A significant portion of its expenses, however, are incurred in Canadian dollars. A fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar may result in variations in TouchTunes’ revenues, expenses and earnings. For example, if the value of the U.S. dollar decreases relative to the value of the Canadian dollar, TouchTunes’ levels of revenue and profitability will decline since the translation of a certain number of U.S. dollars into Canadian dollars will represent fewer Canadian dollars. Conversely, if the value of the U.S. dollar increases relative to the value of the Canadian dollar, TouchTunes’ levels of revenue and profitability will increase since the translation of a certain number of Canadian dollars into U.S. dollars will represent additional U.S. dollars.

In certain circumstances, TouchTunes has entered into individual put options under which it has the option to sell a certain amount of U.S. dollars at a fixed strike price to the counterparty on a monthly basis for a set price. TouchTunes’ objective in entering into these transactions is to hedge the forecasted Canadian dollar transactions of and the cash-flow exposure resulting from changes in the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar. These contracts may not be effective, however, and as a result, significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars may adversely impact TouchTunes’ operations and financial condition.

If TouchTunes expands into international markets outside of North America, such expansion may be unsuccessful, which would in turn limit TouchTunes’ prospects for growth.

TouchTunes is exploring the provision of its services in countries in Asia, Europe and Latin America. Expansion into markets outside of the United States and Canada requires significant management attention and financial resources. TouchTunes faces the following risks associated with any expansion outside the United States:

 

•

challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences;

 

•

legal, legislative and regulatory restrictions;

 

•

currency exchange rate fluctuations;

 

•

foreign exchange controls that might prevent TouchTunes from repatriating cash earned in countries outside the United States;

 

•

economic instability and export restrictions;

 

•

longer payment cycles in some countries;

 

•

credit risk and higher levels of payment fraud;

 

•

potentially adverse tax consequences;

 

•

nationalization or seizure of private assets; and

 

•

higher costs associated with doing business internationally.

These risks could harm TouchTunes’ international expansion efforts, which would in turn harm TouchTunes’ growth prospects.

The historical financial information for TouchTunes included in this proxy statement/prospectus is not necessarily indicative of its future performance.

The historical financial information for TouchTunes included in this proxy statement/prospectus is not necessarily indicative of what TouchTunes’ financial position, results of operations and cash flows would have been if it had been a public company during those periods. The results of future periods may be materially different as a result of, among other things the additional costs associated with being a public company. TouchTunes was, in fact, a public company until December 2005, when it chose to go private because its Board of Directors determined that the benefits to TouchTunes at that time did not outweigh the costs of being a public company.

As a public company, TouchTunes will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that it did not incur as a private company. Such expenses are estimated to be between $1.0 million and $1.5 million annually. For example, it will be required to prepare and file quarterly, annual and current reports with the SEC, as well as comply with myriad rules applicable to public companies, such as the proxy rules, beneficial ownership reporting requirements and other obligations. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules implemented by the SEC in response to that legislation have required significant changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. TouchTunes expects these rules and regulations to significantly increase its legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, in anticipation of becoming a public company, TouchTunes will be creating additional board committees and adopting policies regarding internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.

TouchTunes also expects these new rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for it to obtain director and officer liability insurance for the same or similar coverage. These changes also may make it more difficult for TouchTunes to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on its board of directors or as executive officers. TouchTunes’ historical financial information does not reflect the impact of all of these factors, and as a result, may not be indicative of TouchTunes’ future performance once it becomes a public company.

Risks Related to Victory and the Merger

If Victory is unable to effect a business combination and is forced to liquidate, its warrants will expire worthless.

If Victory does not complete the merger or another business combination by April 24, 2009, its amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that its corporate existence will automatically terminate and it will distribute to all holders of IPO Shares, in proportion to the number of IPO Shares held by them, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust fund, inclusive of any interest, plus any remaining net assets. In such event, there will be no distribution with respect to Victory’s outstanding warrants. Accordingly, the warrants will expire worthless.

Victory’s stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Victory to the extent of distributions received by them.

Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that Victory will continue in existence only until April 24, 2009. If Victory has not completed a business combination by such date and amended this provision in connection thereto, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, its corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up its affairs and liquidating. Under Sections 280 through 282 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the Delaware General Corporation Law intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is Victory’s intention to make liquidating distributions to its stockholders as soon as reasonably possible after April 24, 2009 and, therefore, it does not intend to comply with those procedures.

Because Victory will not be complying with those procedures, it is required, pursuant to Section 281 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, to adopt a plan that will provide for its payment, based on facts known to it at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against it within the subsequent 10 years. Accordingly, Victory would be required to provide for any creditors known to it at that time or those that it believes could be potentially brought against it within the subsequent 10 years prior to distributing the funds held in the trust to stockholders. Victory cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, Victory’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of Victory’s stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that third parties will not seek to recover from Victory’s stockholders amounts owed to them by Victory.

If Victory is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Victory’s stockholders. Furthermore, because Victory intends to distribute the proceeds held in the trust fund to its public stockholders promptly after April 24, 2009 if it has not completed a business combination by such date, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to Victory’s public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from Victory’s assets. Furthermore, Victory’s board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Victory’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith; thereby exposing itself and Victory to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust fund prior to addressing the claims of creditors. There can be no assurance that claims will not be brought against Victory for these reasons.

Victory warrant holders will not be able to exercise their warrants if an effective registration statement is not in place when they desire to do so.

No public warrant will be exercisable and Victory will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock unless, at the time a holder seeks to exercise such public warrant, a prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant is current. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, Victory will be required to use its best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, there can be no assurance that Victory will be able to do so, and if it does not maintain a current prospectus related to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants. Additionally, Victory will have no obligation to settle the warrants for cash or “net cash settle” any warrant exercise. Accordingly, if the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants may expire worthless. If the warrants expire worthless, this would mean that a person who paid $10.00 for a unit in Victory’s IPO and who did not sell the warrant included in the unit would have effectively paid $10.00 for one share of Victory common stock.

An investor will only be able to exercise a warrant if the issuance of Victory common stock upon such exercise has been registered or qualified or is deemed exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants.

No warrants will be exercisable by a warrant holder and Victory will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock unless the shares of common stock issuable upon such exercise have been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. At the time that the warrants become exercisable (following completion of the merger), Victory expects to become listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, which would provide an exemption from registration in every state. Accordingly, Victory believes holders in every state will be able to exercise their warrants as long as its prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current. However, there can be no assurance of this fact. If a warrant holder is unable to exercise his warrants in a particular state, he may be forced to sell his warrant and therefore lose out of the benefit of purchasing Victory stock. Furthermore, the price he receives for his warrant may not equal the difference between the exercise price and the stock price.

Victory’s working capital will be reduced if Victory stockholders exercise their right to convert their shares into cash, which reduced working capital may adversely affect TouchTunes’ business and future operations.

Pursuant to Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, holders of Public Shares may vote against the merger proposal and demand that it convert their shares, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the merger, into a pro rata share of the trust account where a substantial portion of the net proceeds of the IPO are held. Victory and TouchTunes will not consummate the merger if holders of 6,600,000 or more Public Shares exercise these conversion rights. The trust account will be approximately $330,000,000 at closing. Such funds will be used to pay approximately $10,560,000 to the underwriters in Victory’s IPO for deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, to repay approximately $5,000,000 of outstanding subordinated debt of TouchTunes and to pay approximately $5,000,000 for transaction expenses. Accordingly, approximately $310,000,000 will be released to Victory upon consummation of the merger for working capital and general corporate purposes (including any future tax obligations). If holders of 6,599,999 Public Shares seek to exercise their conversion rights, the maximum potential conversion cost would be approximately $66,000,000. Amounts paid to converting stockholders will reduce the amount available for working capital. If the amount remaining after paying converting stockholders is insufficient to fund TouchTunes’ working capital requirements, Victory would need to seek to borrow funds necessary to satisfy such requirements. Victory cannot assure you that such funds would be available to Victory on terms favorable to it or at all. If such funds were not available to Victory, it may adversely affect TouchTunes’ operations and profitability after the merger.

Victory’s outstanding warrants may be exercised in the future, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution TouchTunes’ stockholders.

Outstanding redeemable warrants to purchase an aggregate of 33,000,000 shares of Victory common stock (issued in exchange for Victory warrants issued in the IPO) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock (issued in exchange for the Sponsors’ Warrants) will become exercisable after the consummation of the merger. These warrants likely will be exercised only if the $7.50 per share exercise price is below the market price of the shares of Victory common stock. As of April 7, 2009, the closing price of Victory’s common stock was $9.90 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, 38,000,000 additional shares of Victory common stock will be issued, which will result in the ownership of the holders of common stock of TouchTunes decreasing from approximately 43.0% to approximately 28.0% (assuming no other exercises of options or warrants) and an increase in the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of Victory’s common stock.

If Victory stockholders fail to vote against the merger proposal and fail to deliver their shares in accordance with the conversion requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to convert their shares of common stock of Victory into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

Victory stockholders holding Public Shares who affirmatively vote against the merger proposal may demand that Victory convert their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the merger. Victory stockholders who seek to exercise this conversion right must affirmatively vote against the merger and deliver their stock (either physically or electronically) to Victory’s transfer agent prior to the meeting. Any Victory stockholder who fails to vote against the merger proposal and who fails to deliver his or her stock will not be entitled to convert his or her shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account for conversion of his or her shares. See the section entitled “Special Meeting of Victory Stockholders — Conversion Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares to cash.

The Nasdaq Stock Market may not list Victory’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in TouchTunes’ securities and subject TouchTunes to additional trading restrictions.

Victory will seek listing of its securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market as soon as practicable in connection with the merger. Victory will be required to meet the Nasdaq Stock Market initial listing requirements to be listed. Victory may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements. Even if such application is accepted and Victory’s securities are so listed, Victory may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

If the Nasdaq Stock Market does not list Victory’s securities for trading on its exchange, Victory could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

•

a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;

 

•

reduced liquidity with respect to its securities;

 

•

a determination that its shares of common stock are “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in its Shares of common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the shares of common stock;

 

•

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for TouchTunes; and

 

•

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Victory’s stock price could fluctuate and could cause you to lose a significant part of your investment.

Following consummation of the merger, the market price of Victory’s securities may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond its control, including those described above and the following:

 

•

changes in financial estimates by analysts;

 

27

---

Table of Contents

•

announcements by it or its competitors of significant contracts, productions, acquisitions or capital commitments;

 

•

fluctuations in its quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to it;

 

•

general economic conditions;

 

•

changes in market valuations of similar companies;

 

•

terrorist acts;

 

•

changes in its capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

 

•

future sales of its common stock;

 

•

investor perception of the out-of-home digital entertainment industry;

 

•

regulatory developments in the United States, foreign countries or both;

 

•

litigation involving Victory, its subsidiaries or its general industry; and

 

•

additions or departures of key personnel.

Future sales of Victory shares may cause the market price of its securities to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Pursuant to the terms of lock-up agreements entered into upon signing of the merger agreement, the TouchTunes stockholders who will be receiving approximately 84% of the shares of Victory common stock to be issued in the merger have agreed not to sell their shares until the 18-month anniversary of the consummation of the merger, subject to certain exceptions; provided however that certain of these holders will be entitled to sell up to an aggregate of approximately 10% of the shares they receive in the merger at any time they wish. Further, the officers and directors of Victory will not be able to sell any of the Founders’ Shares until the 18-month anniversary of the consummation of the merger, subject to certain exceptions.

The sale by any of the foregoing, or entities they control or their permitted transferees, could cause the market price of our securities to decline.

Victory’s ability to request indemnification from TouchTunes’ stockholders for damages arising out of the merger is limited to those claims where damages exceed $500,000 and is also limited to the shares of Victory common stock placed in escrow.

To provide a fund to secure the indemnification obligations of TouchTunes to Victory against losses that the surviving entity of the merger may sustain as a result of (i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by TouchTunes in the merger agreement or any schedule or certificate delivered by it in connection with the merger agreement and (ii) the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by TouchTunes in the merger agreement, an aggregate of 10% of the shares to be issued in the merger (3,051,143 shares of Victory common stock as of April 1, 2009) will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) valued at $10.00 per share, which will be canceled to the extent that Victory has damages for which it is entitled to indemnification. The escrow will be the sole remedy for Victory for its rights to indemnification pursuant to the merger agreement. Claims for indemnification may be asserted against the escrow by Victory once its damages exceed a deductible and will be reimbursable to the full extent of the damages in excess of such amount up to a maximum of the escrowed shares. Victory may assert claims for indemnification until thirty (30) days after the date on which Victory has filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 but in no event later than April 30, 2010. As a consequence of these limitations, Victory may not be able to be entirely compensated for indemnifiable damages that it may sustain.

Victory’s current directors and executive officers have certain interests in consummating the merger that may have influenced their decision to approve the business combination with TouchTunes.

The Victory Founders, including Victory’s current directors and executive officers, not only approved the merger but were solely responsible for evaluating the fairness of the transaction and whether the value of TouchTunes equaled at least 80% of Victory’s trust account balance (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions). Victory’s Founders beneficially own Founders’ Shares that they purchased prior to its IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share. Additionally, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky purchased 5,000,000 Sponsors’ Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000, or $1.00 per warrant, in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with Victory’s IPO. Such persons are not entitled to receive any of the cash proceeds that may be distributed upon Victory’s liquidation with respect to shares they acquired prior to its IPO. Therefore, if the merger is not approved and Victory does not consummate another business combination by April 24, 2009 and is forced to liquidate, such Founders’ Shares and Sponsors’ Warrants held by such persons will be worthless. As of the April 7, 2009, the record date for the special meeting, Victory’s Founders held $74,250,000 in common stock (based on a market price of $9.90) and $700,000 in warrants (based on a market price of $0.14). See the section entitled “The Merger Proposal —Interests of Victory’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Merger.”

Additionally, the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement provide that each of Jonathan J. Ledecky and Edward J. Mathias will be a director of Victory after the closing of the merger. As such, in the future they will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Victory board of directors determines to pay to its other non-executive directors.

These financial interests of Victory’s Founders may have influenced their decision to approve Victory’s merger with TouchTunes and to continue to pursue the merger. In considering the recommendations of Victory’s board of directors to vote for the merger proposal and other proposals, Victory stockholders should consider these interests.

Victory’s chairman and president are liable to ensure that proceeds of the trust are not reduced by vendor claims in the event the merger is not consummated. Such liability may have influenced their decision to approve the merger with TouchTunes.

If Victory liquidates prior to the consummation of a business combination, Eric J. Watson, Victory’s chairman and treasurer, and Jonathan J. Ledecky, Victory’s president and secretary, will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Victory for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Victory, but only if such entities did not execute a waiver. On the other hand, if Victory consummates the merger, Victory will be liable for all such claims. Neither Victory nor Messrs. Watson and Ledecky has any reason to believe that Messrs. Watson and Ledecky will not be able to fulfill their indemnity obligations to Victory if required to do so.

Additionally, if Victory is required to be liquidated and there are no funds remaining to pay the costs associated with the implementation and completion of such liquidation, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky have agreed to advance Victory the funds necessary to pay such costs and complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and not to seek repayment for such expenses. If Victory consummates the merger, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky will no longer be responsible for such expenses. See the section entitled “Other Information Related to Victory — Victory’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further information.

These personal obligations may have influenced Messrs. Watson’s and Ledecky’s decision to approve Victory’s merger with TouchTunes and to continue to pursue the merger. In considering the recommendations of Victory’s board of directors to vote for the merger proposal and other proposals, Victory stockholders should consider these interests.

Requested or required changes or waivers in the terms of the merger could result in a conflict of interest when determining whether to agree to same and, if made after the date of this proxy statement, could require an amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicitation of Victory stockholders, which may not be able to occur in the time remaining prior to a required liquidation of Victory.

In the period leading up to the closing of the merger, events may occur that, pursuant to the merger agreement, would require Victory to agree to amend the merger agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by TouchTunes or to waive rights that Victory is entitled to under the merger agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of TouchTunes’ business, a request by TouchTunes to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the merger agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on TouchTunes’ business and would entitle Victory to terminate the merger agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be discretionary on Victory, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he may believe is best for Victory and what he may believe is best for himself in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Victory does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that its directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the merger proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, some changes could have a material or fundamental impact on Victory stockholders. If material or fundamental changes are in fact made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Victory would be required to immediately disclose such changes in a press release and in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

If the merger is completed, a large portion of the funds in the trust account established by Victory in connection with its IPO for the benefit of the holders of the Public Shares may be used for the purchase, directly or indirectly, of Public Shares. As a consequence, if the merger is completed, such funds will not be available to Victory for working capital and general corporate purposes and the number of beneficial holders of Victory’s and Victory’s securities may be reduced to a number that may preclude the quotation, trading or listing of Victory’s securities other than on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.

After the payment of expenses associated with the transaction, including deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, the balance of funds in Victory’s trust account will be available to Victory for working capital and general corporate purposes. However, a portion of the funds in the trust account may be used to acquire Public Shares, either from holders thereof who vote against the merger proposal and elect to convert their shares into cash or from holders thereof who have indicated their intention to do so but first sell their shares to Victory or its affiliates so that such shares will be voted in favor of the merger proposal. As a consequence of such purchases,

 

•

the funds in Victory’s trust account that are so used will not be available to Victory after the merger and the actual amount of such funds that Victory may retain for its own use will be diminished; and

 

•

the public “float” of Victory’s common stock may be reduced below 1.1 million shares, and the number of beneficial holders of Victory’s and Victory’s securities may be reduced below 400 holders, which may make it difficult to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of Victory’s securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other national securities exchange.

If funds in Victory’s trust account are used to purchase, directly or indirectly, Public Shares from holders thereof who have indicated an intention to vote against the merger proposal and convert their Public Shares into cash, which action was not disclosed in the prospectus for Victory’s IPO, holders of Public Shares at the time of the merger who purchased their units in the IPO and have not converted their shares into cash may have rights to rescind their purchases and assert a claim for damages therefor against Victory, its directors and officers and the former directors and officers of Victory.

The prospectus issued by Victory in its IPO did not disclose that funds in the trust account might be used to purchase Public Shares from holders thereof who have indicated their intention to vote against the merger and

 

30

---

Table of Contents

convert their shares into cash. Consequently, such use of the funds in the trust account might be grounds for a holder of Public Shares who purchased them in the IPO and still held them at the time of the merger without seeking to convert them into cash to seek rescission of the purchase of the units he acquired in the IPO. A successful claimant for damages under federal or state law could be awarded an amount to compensate for the decrease in value of his or her shares caused by the alleged violation (including, possibly, punitive damages), together with interest, while retaining the shares.

If Victory is unable to complete the merger with TouchTunes or another business combination by April 24, 2009, its amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that its corporate existence will automatically terminate and liquidate. In such event, third parties may bring claims against Victory and, as a result, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders could be less than $10.00 per share.

Victory must complete a business combination with TouchTunes or another target business by April 24, 2009, when, pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, its corporate existence will terminate and it will be required to liquidate. In such event, third parties may bring claims against Victory. Although Victory has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors and service providers it has engaged and owe money to, and the prospective target businesses it has negotiated with, whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they or other vendors who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the trust account notwithstanding such agreements. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of Victory’s public stockholders. Additionally, if Victory is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Victory’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Victory’s stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy or other claims deplete the trust account, there can be no assurance that Victory will be able to return to its public stockholders at least $10.00 per share.

Victory’s board of directors did not obtain a fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the transaction with TouchTunes and, as a result, the terms may not be fair from a financial point of view to Victory’s public stockholders.

In analyzing the transaction with TouchTunes, the Victory board conducted significant due diligence on TouchTunes. For a complete discussion of the factors utilized by Victory’s board in approving the merger, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal – Victory’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Merger.” The Victory board of directors believes because of the financial skills and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the business combination was fair from a financial perspective to its stockholders and that TouchTunes’ fair market value was at least equal to 80% of Victory’s trust account balance (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Victory’s board of directors did not obtain a fairness opinion to assist it in its determination. Accordingly, Victory’s board of directors may be incorrect in its assessment of the transaction.

SPECIAL MEETING OF VICTORY STOCKHOLDERS

General

Victory is furnishing this proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by its board of directors for use at the special meeting of Victory stockholders to be held on April     , 2009, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement/prospectus is first being furnished to Victory stockholders on or about April     , 2009 in connection with the vote on the merger proposal and the adjournment proposal. This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the special meeting.

Date, Time and Place

The special meeting of stockholders will be held on April     , 2009, at 10:00 a.m., eastern time, at the offices of Graubard Miller, Victory’s counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10174.

Purpose of the Victory Special Meeting

At the special meeting, Victory will ask holders of its common stock to:

 

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 23, 2009, among Victory, Merger Sub, TouchTunes and VantagePoint which, among other things, provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into TouchTunes, with TouchTunes being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory (merger proposal);

 

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve amendments to Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to (i) change Victory’s name to “TouchTunes Corporation,” (ii) increase the authorized number of shares of its common stock from 85 million to 300 million, (iii) make its corporate existence perpetual, (iv) incorporate the classification of directors that would result from the election of directors in the manner described in the director election proposal; (v) remove provisions that will no longer be applicable to Victory after the merger; and (vi) make certain other changes that Victory’s board of directors believes are immaterial (charter amendments proposal);

 

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (stock plan proposal);

 

•

elect six directors to Victory’s board of directors, of whom two will serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2010, one will serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2011 and three will serve until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2012 (director election proposal); and

 

•

consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the special meeting, Victory is not authorized to consummate the merger (adjournment proposal).

Recommendation of Victory Board of Directors

Victory’s board of directors:

 

•

has unanimously determined that each of the proposals is fair to and in the best interests of Victory and its stockholders;

 

•

has unanimously approved each of the proposals;

 

•

unanimously recommends that Victory’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal;

 

•

unanimously recommends that Victory’s common stockholders vote “FOR” each of the charter amendment proposals;

Table of Contents

•

unanimously recommends that Victory’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the stock plan proposal;

 

•

unanimously recommends that Victory’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the election of the persons nominated by Victory’s management for election as directors; and

 

•

unanimously recommends that Victory’s common stockholders vote “FOR” the adjournment proposal.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

Victory has fixed the close of business on April 7, 2009, as the “record date” for determining Victory stockholders entitled to notice of and to attend and vote at its special meeting. As of the close of business on April 7, 2009, there were 40,500,000 shares of Victory’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Victory’s common stock is entitled to one vote per share at the special meeting.

Pursuant to agreements with Victory, the 7,500,000 Founders’ Shares held by the Victory Founders will be voted on the merger proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast at the special meeting on such proposal by the holders of the Public Shares. Accordingly, the vote of such shares will not affect the outcome of the vote on the merger proposal.

Quorum

The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of all the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the special meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to Victory but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. The latter will not be treated as shares entitled to vote on the matter as to which authority to vote is withheld from the broker. If you do not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, your broker may not vote your shares on “non-routine” proposals, such as the merger proposal, each of the charter amendment proposals and the stock plan proposal. Since a stockholder must affirmatively vote against the merger proposal to have conversion rights, individuals who fail to vote or who abstain from voting may not exercise their conversion rights. See the information set forth in “Special Meeting of Victory Stockholders — Conversion Rights.”

Vote of Victory’s Stockholders Required

The approval of the merger proposal will require the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the Public Shares present (in person or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote on the proposal at the meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the merger proposal and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have no effect on the merger proposal. You cannot seek conversion unless you affirmatively vote against the merger proposal.

Each of the charter amendment proposals will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Victory common stock outstanding on the record date. Because these proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding for approval, abstentions and shares not entitled to vote because of a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote against these proposals.

The approval of the stock plan proposal and adjournment proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of Victory’s common stock represented and entitled to vote thereon at the meeting. Abstentions are deemed entitled to vote on such proposal. Therefore, they have the same effect as a vote against either proposal. Broker non-votes are not deemed entitled to vote on such proposals and, therefore, they will have no effect on the vote on such proposals.

Table of Contents

Directors are elected by a plurality. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast “FOR” are elected as directors. Consequently, any shares not voted “FOR” a particular nominee (whether as a result of abstentions, a direction to withhold authority or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in the nominee’s favor.

The approval of the merger proposal and each of the charter amendment proposals, the stock plan proposal and the director election proposal is a condition to the consummation of the merger. If the merger proposal is not approved, the other proposals will not be presented to stockholders for a vote. If any of the other proposals are not approved, the remaining proposals will not be presented to stockholders for a vote and the merger will not be consummated.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of Victory common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of Victory’s common stock that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are two ways to vote your shares of Victory common stock at the special meeting:

 

•

You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by Victory’s board “FOR” the merger proposal, each of the charter amendment proposals, the stock plan proposal, the persons nominated by Victory’s management for election as directors and, if necessary, the adjournment proposal. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the special meeting will not be counted.

 

•

You Can Attend the Special Meeting and Vote in Person. Victory will give you a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way Victory can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

 

•

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

 

•

you may notify Jonathan J. Ledecky, Victory’s president and secretary, in writing before the special meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

 

•

you may attend the special meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of Victory’s common stock, you may call Morrow & Co., LLC, Victory’s proxy solicitor, at (800) 607-0088, or Jonathan J. Ledecky, Victory’s secretary, at (212) 521-4399.

Conversion Rights

Any of Victory’s stockholders holding Public Shares as of the record date who affirmatively vote their Public Shares against the merger proposal may also demand that such shares be converted into a pro rata portion of the trust account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the merger. If demand is properly made and the merger is consummated, these shares will be converted into a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the trust account plus interest, calculated as of such date.

 

35

---

Table of Contents

Victory stockholders who seek to exercise this conversion right (“converting stockholders”) must affirmatively vote against the merger proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes do not satisfy this requirement. Additionally, holders demanding conversion must deliver their shares (either physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian) System) to Victory’s transfer agent prior to the meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be converted into cash.

If the holders of at least 6,600,000 or more Public Shares (an amount equal to 20% or more of the Public Shares) vote against the merger proposal and properly demand conversion of their shares, Victory will not be able to consummate the merger.

The closing price of Victory’s common stock on April 7, 2009 (the record date for the Victory special meeting) was $9.90. The cash held in the trust account on April 7, 2009 was approximately $330,258,340 (approximately $10.00 per Public Share). Prior to exercising conversion rights, stockholders should verify the market price of Victory’s common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price. Victory cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Victory common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in Victory’s securities when Victory’s stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of Victory common stock for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you affirmatively vote against the merger proposal, properly demand conversion, and deliver your stock certificate (either physically or electronically) to Victory’s transfer agent prior to the meeting.

If the merger is not consummated by the date Victory must liquidate, either party may terminate the merger agreement. If Victory is unable to complete the merger by April 24, 2009, its amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that its corporate existence will terminate on that date and, upon its resulting liquidation, the holders of Public Shares will receive an amount equal to the amount of funds in the trust account, inclusive of interest not previously released to Victory, as well as any remaining net assets outside of the trust account, at the time of the liquidation distribution divided by the number of Public Shares. Although both the per share liquidation price and the per share conversion price are equal to the amount in the trust account divided by the number of Public Shares, the amount a holder of Public Shares would receive at liquidation may be more or less than the amount such a holder would have received had it sought conversion of its shares in connection with the merger because (i) there will be greater earned interest in the trust account at the time of a liquidation distribution since it would occur at a later date than a conversion and (ii) Victory may incur expenses it otherwise would not incur if Victory consummates the merger, including, potentially, claims requiring payment from the trust account by creditors who have not waived their rights against the trust account. Eric J. Watson, Victory’s chairman and treasurer, and Jonathan J. Ledecky, Victory’s president and secretary, will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor successfully makes a claim against funds in the trust account) to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of prospective target businesses and vendors or other entities that are owed money by Victory for services rendered or products sold to it, but only if such target business, vendor or other entity does not execute a waiver. While Victory has no reason to believe that Messrs. Watson and Ledecky will not be able to satisfy those obligations, there cannot be any assurance to that effect. See the section entitled “Other Information Related to Victory — Liquidation If No Business Combination” for additional information.

Appraisal Rights

Victory stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the merger. TouchTunes stockholders are entitled to exercise appraisal rights pursuant to the merger under the DGCL. Information concerning the ability of TouchTunes stockholders to exercise appraisal rights is set forth in Annex H attached hereto.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

Victory is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. All solicitation costs will be paid by Victory. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Victory and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means, including email and facsimile.

Victory has hired Morrow & Co., LLC to assist in the proxy solicitation process. It will pay that firm a fee of $10,000 plus disbursements. Such payments will be made from non-trust account funds. If the merger is successfully closed, Victory will pay Morrow & Co., LLC an additional contingent fee of $20,000.

Victory will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. Victory will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Victory Founders

As of April 7, 2009, the record date for the Victory special meeting, Eric J. Watson, Victory’s chairman of the board and treasurer, Jonathan J. Ledecky, Victory’s president and secretary and a director, Jay H. Nussbaum, Kerry Kennedy, Robert B. Hersov, Edward J. Mathias, Richard Y. Roberts and Jimmie Lee Solomon, Jr., each a director of Victory, and Martin Dolfi, a former consultant to Victory, who are collectively referred to as the Victory Founders, beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 7,500,000 shares (“Founders’ Shares”). The Founders’ Shares constituted approximately 18.5% of the outstanding shares of Victory’s common stock immediately after the IPO. In connection with Victory’s IPO, Victory and Citigroup entered into agreements with each of the Victory Founders pursuant to which each Victory Founder agreed to vote his, her or its Founders’ Shares on the merger proposal in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the holders of Public Shares. The Victory Founders have indicated that they intend to vote their Founders’ Shares in favor of all other proposals being presented at the meeting. The Founders’ Shares have no liquidation rights and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by Victory. In connection with the IPO, the Victory Founders placed their Founders’ Shares in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and agreed that they would not sell the Founders’ Shares until the earlier of twelve months after a business combination or Victory’s liquidation, subject to earlier release within such twelve-month period if (i) Victory’s common stock having a last sales price equal to or exceeding $20.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period following successful consummation of a business combination or (ii) Victory consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of Victory’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property. In connection with the merger, such individuals have agreed that they will not be able to sell their Founders’ Shares until the 18-month anniversary of the consummation of the merger, subject to certain exceptions. The foregoing agreement will cover any shares of common stock of Victory owned by the Victory Founders immediately following the merger or otherwise received in connection with the merger. Accordingly, any shares purchased in the open market and in private transactions by such individuals to facilitate the approval of the merger would be covered by the lock-up agreements. However, any shares purchased in the open market by such individuals after the merger would not be covered. Therefore, the Victory Founders could announce, prior to the consummation of the merger, their intention to purchase shares following the merger and have the ability to sell those shares without any restrictions.

As of April     , 2009, no Victory Founder has purchased any shares of Victory common stock in the open market. If the Victory Founders believe it would be desirable for them or their affiliates to purchase shares in advance of the special meeting, such determination would be based on factors such as the likelihood of approval or disapproval of the merger proposal, the number of shares for which conversion may be requested and the financial resources available to such prospective purchasers. Any additional shares purchased by the Victory Founders will be voted by them in favor of the merger.

Table of Contents

At any time prior to the special meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Victory or its securities, Victory, the Victory Founders, TouchTunes or the holders of common or preferred stock of TouchTunes and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from them in the future, or they or Victory may enter into transactions with such persons and others to provide them with incentives to acquire shares of Victory’s common stock or vote their shares in favor of the merger proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the Public Shares present (in person or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote on the merger proposal vote in its favor and that holders of fewer than 20% of the Public Shares vote against the merger proposal and demand conversion of their Public Shares into cash where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the merger to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the merger proposal and other proposals and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Moreover, any such purchases may make it less likely that the holders of 20% or more of the Public Shares will vote against the merger proposal and exercise their conversion rights.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Victory will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposal or the conversion threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

It is possible that the special meeting could be adjourned to provide time to seek out and negotiate such transactions if, at the time of the meeting, it appears that the requisite vote will not be obtained or that the limitation on conversion will be exceeded, assuming that an adjournment proposal is presented and approved. Also, under Delaware law, the board of directors may postpone the meeting at any time prior to it being called to order in order to provide time to seek out and negotiate such transactions.

THE MERGER PROPOSAL

The discussion in this proxy statement/prospectus of the merger and the principal terms of the merger agreement by and among Victory, Merger Sub and TouchTunes is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the merger agreement. A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated into this proxy statement/prospectus by reference.

The Parties

Victory

Victory Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company, or a SPAC, formed on January 12, 2007 as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in any industry other than the franchising, financial services or healthcare industries.

On April 30, 2007, Victory closed its initial public offering of 33,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 units that were subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one warrant, each to purchase one share of its common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The units from the initial public offering (including the over-allotment option) were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $330,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, Victory consummated the private sale of 5,000,000 warrants (“Sponsors’ Warrants”) at $1.00 per warrant to Eric J. Watson and Jonathan J. Ledecky for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, $321,660,000 was deposited into the trust account and the remaining proceeds became available to be used to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. In addition, Victory was entitled to draw for use of working capital up to $3,000,000 of interest earned on the trust account, as well as any amounts necessary to pay its tax obligations. Through December 31, 2008, Victory had used all of the net proceeds that were not deposited into the trust account to pay general and administrative expenses and had used interest income in the amount of $1,156,555 and $1,740,750 for its tax obligations and working capital, respectively. The net proceeds of $321,660,000 deposited into the trust fund remain on deposit in the trust fund and have earned $12,446,678 in interest through December 31, 2008 of which $8,484,884 has not been released to Victory as described above.

Victory intends to use the funds held in the trust account to pay transaction fees and expenses, deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, to repay certain outstanding subordinated debt of TouchTunes and to pay stockholders who properly exercise their conversion rights and for working capital and general corporate purposes. It is possible that the present holders of 20.0% or more of the Public Shares will vote against the merger and seek conversion of their Public Shares into cash in accordance with Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. If such event were to occur, the merger could not be completed. To preclude such possibility, Victory, its officers, directors and founding stockholders, TouchTunes and the holders of TouchTunes common stock may enter into arrangements to provide for the purchase of the Public Shares from holders thereof who indicate their intention to vote against the merger and seek conversion or otherwise wish to sell their Public Shares or other arrangements that would induce holders of Public Shares not to vote against the merger proposal. It is likely that such arrangements would involve the purchase by Victory, after the merger, of the Public Shares that were initially purchased by the persons or entities who enter into such arrangements using funds transferred to Victory from Victory’s trust account. As a consequence, it is likely that the amount of funds available to Victory for working capital and general corporate purposes from the trust account would be diminished. Definitive arrangements have not yet been determined but some possible methods are described in the section titled “ Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Actions That May Be Taken to Secure Approval of Victory’s Stockholders .” Regardless of the specific arrangements that are made to purchase Public Shares, there will be sufficient funds from the trust account funds transferred to Victory to pay the holders of all Public Shares that are properly converted and Victory will use such funds for such purpose.

If the merger is not consummated by the date on which Victory is required to be liquidated, either party may terminate the merger agreement. If Victory is unable to complete the merger or another business combination by April 24, 2009, its amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that its corporate existence will automatically terminate and it will liquidate and promptly distribute to its public stockholders the amount in its trust account plus any remaining non-trust account funds after payment of its liabilities.

Victory’s common stock, units and warrants are currently listed on the NYSE Amex under the symbols VRY, VRY.U and VRY.WS, respectively. The parties intend to seek to have the securities of Victory listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market following consummation of the merger under the symbols TTUN, TTUNU and TTUNW.

TouchTunes

TouchTunes develops, manufactures and sells interactive digital entertainment systems that are designed to provide innovative digital entertainment content and highly-targeted advertising services to a network of approximately 38,000 out-of-home locations in North America, such as bars, restaurants, retailers and other businesses. TouchTunes’ digital jukebox and other digital entertainment systems and services are provided, under a usage-based revenue model, through long-term agreements with TouchTunes’ distribution channel of more than 2,800 operators and through direct sales to national and regional chains, primarily restaurants. TouchTunes Music introduced the world’s first digital-downloading, pay-per-play commercial jukebox in 1998 and now operates one of the largest out-of-home interactive entertainment networks in the United States. Since mid-2007, TouchTunes has expanded its entertainment network offering, through acquisitions and product development, to include a wireless, portable entertainment system, an interactive advertising platform on the jukebox and an in-location television-based advertising and content solution.

TouchTunes’ principal executive offices are located at 740 Broadway, Suite 1102, New York, New York 10003. The telephone number at its executive offices is (212) 991-6521. Upon consummation of the merger, TouchTunes will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory and operate under the name “TTC Inc.”

Structure of the Merger

The merger agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into TouchTunes with TouchTunes surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory. Thereafter, Victory will operate under the name “TouchTunes Corporation.” As a result of the merger, the holders of common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes will receive 30,511,427 shares of Victory common stock. Additionally, all outstanding TouchTunes’ options and warrants shall be cancelled and substituted with options of similar tenor to purchase an aggregate of 4,430,548 shares of Victory common stock, which includes warrants to purchase 808,029 shares of Victory common stock and vested options to purchase 1,658,571 shares of Victory common stock. The holders of common stock, preferred stock and options of TouchTunes will also have the right to receive up to an additional 9,861,025 EBITDA Shares, of which 618,325 relate to unvested options, if the combined company’s EBITDA

Table of Contents

exceeds an aggregate of $50 million for any two consecutive quarters during the period ending on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger. If the EBITDA target is met, the TouchTunes’ warrants shall also be adjusted to purchase an additional 257,301 shares of Victory common stock. The EBITDA Shares will be issued at the closing of the merger and will be placed in escrow until they are earned. If the EBITDA target is not met, the EBITDA Shares shall be returned to Victory for cancellation.

Victory and TouchTunes plan to complete the merger promptly after the Victory special meeting, provided that:

 

•

Victory’s stockholders have approved the merger proposal;

 

•

holders of fewer than 20% of Victory’s Public Shares have voted against the merger proposal and demanded conversion of their shares into cash; and

 

•

the other conditions specified in the merger agreement have been satisfied or waived.

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “The Merger Proposal — Factors Considered by Victory’s Board of Directors,” Victory’s board of directors concluded that the merger met all of the requirements disclosed in Victory’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration Nos. 333-140359 and 333-142341), that became effective on April 24, 2007, including that TouchTunes has a fair market value of at least 80% of Victory’s trust account balance (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) at the time of the merger.

Upon completion of the merger, assuming that none of the holders of the Public Shares elects to convert such shares into cash, the current holders of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock will own approximately 43.0% of the shares of Victory common stock outstanding immediately after the closing of the merger and the former Victory stockholders will own approximately 57.0% of the shares of Victory common stock. If the holders of 19.99% of the Public Shares elect to convert their shares into cash, such percentages would be approximately 47.4% and 52.6%, respectively. Such percentages assume that none of the holders of common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes exercise appraisal rights. To the extent appraisal rights are exercised by the holders of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock, the percentage owned by the holders of common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes would decrease and the percentage owned by the Victory stockholders would increase.

Interest of Victory Stockholders in the Merger

As a result of the merger, the present Victory stockholders (including the Victory Founders) will own approximately from 57.0% of the shares of Victory common stock outstanding after the merger (assuming that no holders of Public Shares vote against the merger proposal and elect to convert their Public Shares into cash in accordance with Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation) to 52.6% of the shares of Victory common stock outstanding after the merger (assuming that the holders of 19.99% of Victory’s Public Shares vote against the merger proposal and elect to convert their Public Shares into cash).

Name; Headquarters; Stock Symbols

After completion of the merger:

 

•

the name of the publicly traded holding company will be TouchTunes Corporation;

 

•

the corporate headquarters and principal executive offices of Victory will be located at 740 Broadway, Suite 1102, New York, New York 10003; and

 

•

the parties intend to apply to have Victory’s common stock, warrants and units (each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant), listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbols TTUN, TTUNW and TTUNU, respectively, after consummation of the merger.

Indemnification

To provide a fund to secure the indemnification obligations of TouchTunes to Victory against losses that the surviving entity of the merger may sustain as a result of (i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by TouchTunes in the merger agreement or any schedule or certificate delivered by it in connection with the merger agreement and (ii) the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by TouchTunes in the merger agreement, an aggregate of 10% of the shares to be issued in the merger (3,051,143 shares of Victory common stock as of April 1, 2009) will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent), valued at $10.00 per share, which will be canceled to the extent that Victory has damages for which it is entitled to indemnification. The escrow will be the sole remedy for Victory for its rights to indemnification pursuant to the merger agreement. Claims for indemnification may be asserted against the escrow by Victory once its damages exceed a deductible and will be reimbursable to the full extent of the damages in excess of such amount up to a maximum of the escrowed shares. To the extent that TouchTunes is entitled to indemnification as a result of (i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Victory in the merger agreement or any schedule or certificate delivered by Victory in connection with the merger agreement, or (ii) the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by Victory in the merger agreement, Victory is obligated to issue shares of Victory common stock with a fair market value equal to the amount of such damages (not to exceed 10% of the shares of Victory common stock issued in the merger). Claims for indemnification may be asserted until thirty (30) days after the date on which Victory has filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 but in no event later than April 30, 2010 (other than certain indemnification claims relating to the matters described in section 5.20 of the merger agreement, which may be brought by TouchTunes within another one year period). As a consequence of these limitations, Victory may not be able to be entirely compensated for indemnifiable damages that it may sustain.

Employment Agreements

Upon completion of the merger, certain members of TouchTunes’ management will become officers of Victory. These officers are William Meder, who will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, David Schwartz, who will serve as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, Ronald Greenberg, who will serve as Chief Marketing Officer & Senior Vice President, Digital Media, Daniel McAllister, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Sales, Geoff Mott, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, Michael Tooker, who will serve a Senior Vice President, Technology and Operations, and Robert Weinschenk, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Barfly Division. Each of these persons has entered or will enter into an employment agreement with TouchTunes that will be assumed by Victory as a result of the merger, or in the case of new employment agreements, effective upon the merger. See the section entitled “ Directors and Executive Officers of Victory Following the Merger — Employment Agreements .”

Lock-Up Agreements

VantagePoint and other current holders of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock, who will be receiving approximately 84% of the shares of Victory common stock to be issued in the merger, have agreed not to sell their shares of Victory common stock they receive in the merger until the 18-month anniversary of the consummation of the merger, subject to certain exceptions; provided however that certain holders of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock will be entitled to sell up to an aggregate of approximately 10% of the shares they receive in the merger at any time they wish. All other holders of common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes, who will be receiving approximately 16% of the shares of Victory common stock to be issued in the merger, will be free to sell their shares at any time.

In connection with the IPO, the Victory Founders placed their Founders’ Shares in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company pursuant to a Stock Escrow Agreement dated as of April 24, 2007. Pursuant to this agreement, the Victory Founders agreed that they would not sell the Founders’ Shares until the earlier of twelve months after a business combination or Victory’s liquidation, subject to earlier release within such twelve

Table of Contents

month period if (i) Victory’s common stock had a last sales price equal to or exceeding $20.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period following successful consummation of a business combination or (ii) Victory consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of Victory’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property. In connection with the merger, such individuals have agreed that they will not be able to sell their Founders’ Shares until the 18-month anniversary of the consummation of the merger, subject to certain exceptions. The foregoing agreement will cover any shares of common stock of Victory owned by the Victory Founders immediately following the merger or otherwise received in connection with the merger. Accordingly, any shares purchased in the open market and in private transactions by such individuals to facilitate the approval of the merger would be covered by the lock-up agreements. However, any shares purchased in the open market by such individuals after the merger would not be covered. Therefore, the Victory Founders could announce, prior to the consummation of the merger, their intention to purchase shares following the merger and have the ability to sell those shares without any restrictions.

Copies of the forms of lock-up agreements that were entered into upon signing of the merger agreement to effectuate the foregoing are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D.

Voting Agreement

After the merger, if management’s nominees are elected, the directors of Victory will be Jonathan J. Ledecky, William J. Meder, David S. Carlick, Joe A. Katz, Patrick Gallagher and Edward J. Mathias. David S. Carlick, Joel A. Katz, Patrick Gallagher and Edward J. Mathias will be considered independent directors under applicable regulatory rules. Certain of the Victory Founders and certain stockholders of TouchTunes will enter into a voting agreement at the time of closing of the merger that will provide that they will vote their shares of Victory common stock in favor of the election of four nominees of VantagePoint in classes B and C (two in each of Class B and Class C) in all elections through the annual meeting that will be held in 2012 and on any other matter approved by the Board and in which VantagePoint does not have a material direct financial interest (or earlier if VantagePoint owns less than 50% of the shares held by it upon closing of the merger). The voting agreement places no restrictions on the ability of Messrs. Ledecky and Watson to sell their shares of Victory common stock and such sales are restricted only by the 18-month lock-up agreements described above. Accordingly, as Messrs. Ledecky and Watson sell shares in accordance with the lock-up agreement, their ability to influence the election of directors under the voting agreement will be diminished. A copy of the form of voting agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G.

Upon completion of the merger, certain members of TouchTunes’ management will become officers of Victory. These officers are William Meder, who will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, David Schwartz, who will serve as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, Ronald Greenberg, who will serve as Chief Marketing Officer & Senior Vice President, Digital Media, Daniel McAllister, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Sales, Geoff Mott, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, Michael Tooker, who will serve a Senior Vice President, Technology and Operations, and Robert Weinschenk, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Barfly Division. Each of these persons has entered or will enter into an employment agreement with TouchTunes that will be assumed by Victory as a result of the merger, or in the case of new employment agreements, effective upon the merger.

Background of the Merger

The terms of the merger agreement are the result of arms’-length negotiations between representatives of TouchTunes and Victory. The following is a brief discussion of the background of these negotiations, the merger agreement and related transactions.

Victory was formed on January 12, 2007 to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in any industry other than the franchising, financial services or healthcare industries. Victory completed its IPO on April 30, 2007, raising net proceeds of $316,661,329, including net proceeds from the sale of units on exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment

Table of Contents

option. Of these net proceeds, $316,660,000 (including $10,560,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions), together with $5,000,000 raised from the private sale of warrants (for a total of $321,660,000), was placed in a trust account. In accordance with Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, these funds will be released upon either its consummation of a business combination or its liquidation. Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that Victory must liquidate unless it has consummated a business combination by April 24, 2009. As of December 31, 2008, $330,144,884 was held in deposit in the trust account.

Promptly following the IPO of Victory, Victory contacted several investment bankers, private equity firms, consulting firms, legal and accounting firms, as well as numerous other business relationships. Through these and further efforts, Victory identified and reviewed information with respect to more than 250 potential target companies. On several occasions described below, Victory engaged in multiple meetings with potential targets and engaged in serious discussions with a select few highly profitable, rapidly expanding, global businesses.

In May 2007, Mr. Ledecky was introduced to a leading billion-dollar, vertically integrated apparel wholesaler, manufacturer and retailer by an investment-banking consultant. Throughout May and June 2007, Victory held multiple meetings with the target and its majority owner. This included due diligence visits to its domestic and international facilities and an extensive strategic and operational review. As a result of these meetings, investment bankers were retained, a non-binding letter of intent was negotiated and a definitive agreement was drafted. However, the majority owner of the business ultimately determined that he would receive a higher valuation for the business if he first completed joint venture agreements with one of the largest global retailers. As a result, negotiations ceased. Contact resumed between the parties at various times throughout 2007 and 2008 but the parties were never able to reach an agreement on a transaction.

In September 2007, Mr. Ledecky was contacted by an investment banker representing a second vertically integrated apparel manufacturer and retailer looking for substantial equity capital. Victory conducted extensive due diligence and held numerous meetings with the target. A letter of intent was negotiated and Victory held several meetings with the principal stockholders and board representatives of the target. On October 30, 2007, it was determined that the target’s board did not agree with Victory’s valuation of the business and discussions were halted. In June 2008, Victory was again approached by the target for further negotiations at a much lower valuation. Accordingly, Victory conducted another round of extensive due diligence. However, this due diligence revealed that the target had not met its earlier forecasts originally presented to Victory in the initial discussions. As a result, Victory determined not to proceed with the transaction.

In November 2007, Mr. Ledecky, met with a representative of an investment banking firm and the chairman of a multi-billion hedge fund to discuss SPACs and the track record of Victory’s principals. Messrs. Ledecky and Watson had a second meeting with the investment banker and additional principals from the hedge fund concerning that fund’s investment in a highly profitable company in the minerals industry. On several occasions in December 2007 and January 2008, Victory met with officials of the minerals company to discuss a potential transaction and to conduct due diligence. On December 19, 2007, a non-binding letter of intent was executed and a subsequent purchase and sale agreement was negotiated. The Victory board met on January 14, 2008 in Washington to consider the transaction and gave its preliminary approval subject to completion of due diligence and the negotiation of a definitive agreement relating to the transaction. However, prior to execution of a definitive agreement, the target received a bid from a third party conglomerate that provided greater consideration to the target. As a result, on January 31, 2008, the target announced that it had agreed to be purchased by this conglomerate and ended discussions with Victory.

In April 2008, Mr. Ledecky was contacted by a representative of an investment banking firm and the president of a firm in the mobile communications industry. Messrs. Ledecky and Watson received a presentation from this company about its history and future prospects which they reviewed. During May and June 2008, Victory conducted due diligence on the company and its management team and held several meetings with company officials. On June 5, 2008, a dinner meeting was held with several members of the target’s board of

directors. Subsequent to that meeting, a non-binding letter of intent was drafted and negotiations for a definitive agreement ensued. However, after continued discussions, the parties determined that they could not agree on a valuation for the target and discussions ended.

In December 2008, Mr. Ledecky was contacted by the head of a leading independent film production company regarding the possibility of engaging in a transaction. The parties subsequently prepared a term sheet regarding the transaction and continued negotiations. On January 21 and 22, 2009, Mr. Ledecky conducted ongoing due diligence at the company’s corporate headquarters. At this time, Victory sent a draft of a merger agreement for review. Victory’s attorneys also subsequently prepared drafts of the other transaction documents which were submitted to the target, its attorneys and other representatives and were revised several times through the course of the negotiations, which took place by email and teleconference. On February 3, 2009, Victory’s board of directors held a meeting to consider the transaction. However, certain accounting and other issues caused the parties to not be able to proceed with the transaction and discussions ended.

On February 27, 2009, Mr. Ledecky received a call from the head of the above-referenced independent film production company, through his entity, Constellation Consulting, who indicated that he had a social relationship with Rad Weaver. Victory had no prior contact with Constellation Consulting and was introduced to it only as a result of Victory’s pursuit of the above-referenced independent film production company. Mr. Weaver worked for an investor, Red McCoombs, who had invested in a company referred to as Barfly. TouchTunes had acquired Barfly in September 2008. Because the consultant knew Victory was still searching for a target business with which to complete a business combination, the consultant inquired as to whether Mr. Ledecky would be receptive to a call from Mr. Weaver about a potential business combination between Victory and TouchTunes.

On February 28, 2009, Mr. Ledecky and Mr. Weaver held a telephone call to discuss the situation regarding the future of TouchTunes now that it owned the Barfly business. Mr. Weaver described the significant upside potential inherent in the 38,000-customer base of TouchTunes being customer targets for the Barfly system. Mr. Ledecky was impressed with the nature of the opportunity and discussed whether TouchTunes’ 2008 financial statements could be audited in time for inclusion in any proxy statement involving Victory.

On March 1 and 2, 2009, Mr. Ledecky held additional telephone calls with the consultant from Constellation and Mr. Weaver to further discuss the timing of an audit of TouchTunes’ 2008 financial statements and to find out typical additional information regarding TouchTunes such as its corporate structure and stockholder base.

On March 4, 2009, the consultant contacted Mr. Ledecky to indicate that TouchTunes was in fact interested in proceeding with discussions and was developing a set of information regarding TouchTunes if Victory was willing to execute a confidentiality agreement.

On March 6, 2009, Mr. Ledecky contacted Mr. Weaver to inquire as to his progress regarding the informational package and confidentiality agreement. Mr. Weaver indicated that he was continuing to have discussions with various officials of TouchTunes and its investors.

On March 9, 2009, Mr. Ledecky held a series of conference calls with Mr. Weaver and representatives of TouchTunes. Mr. Ledecky, Mr. Watson and consultants to Victory received a lengthy overview of the business from William Meder, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of TouchTunes, and Geoff Mott, a board member of and consultant to TouchTunes. Mr. Ledecky then indicated that he would be willing to fly out with Mr. Watson the next day to visit with representatives of VantagePoint, TouchTunes’ largest investor, as it was clear its approval of the transaction would be needed due to its ownership interest in TouchTunes. Mr. Weaver called Mr. Ledecky later that day to say that Alan Salzman, CEO of VantagePoint, would be willing to meet on March 10, 2009. Mr. Ledecky and consultants to Victory then held a long conference call with Barfly division executive Bob Weinschenk that evening to discuss the future potential opportunities available from the Barfly/TouchTunes operations.

On March 10, 2009, Mr. Ledecky and Mr. Watson visited the headquarters of VantagePoint in San Bruno, California. They met with Mr. Weaver, Alan Salzman and Mr. Mott, among others, with the consultant from Constellation participating telephonically. A discussion ensued for several hours concerning both Victory and how such a company operated as well as a review of the TouchTunes business.

On March 11 through March 13, 2009, Mr. Ledecky and Mr. Watson along with the Victory consultants conducted an extensive review of TouchTunes’ operations, the industry in which it operated and other detailed due diligence investigations and background investigations.

On March 13, 2009, drafts of a merger agreement and proxy statement were circulated by Victory counsel to TouchTunes and its counsel. Mr. Ledecky and Mr. Watson then conducted a series of telephone conference calls with Mr. Salzman and Jon Quick, on behalf of TouchTunes, to go through the terms and conditions of a potential transaction, after which Mr. Salzman discussed the negotiations and open issues with Mr. Meder and Mr. Mott.

On March 14, 2009, a series of additional negotiating sessions between Mssrs. Watson, Ledecky, Salzman and Quick transpired telephonically regarding various deal terms and conditions. A preliminary understanding of the specific deal terms was reached, after consultation with Mr. Meder, and counsels to both parties were instructed to revise the merger agreement and proxy statement accordingly.

On March 15 through March 18, 2009, the parties continued to negotiate various terms and conditions telephonically and continued their due diligence work. Multiple phone conferences transpired between Mssrs. Salzman, Mott, Ledecky, Watson and Meder during this period.

On March 19, 2009, Mr. Ledecky met in New York City with Mr. Meder, Mr. Mott and Mr. Quick to discuss the transaction. Mr. Ledecky then introduced these representatives of TouchTunes to several current investors of Victory who had executed confidentiality agreements with Victory to discuss the proposed transaction.

On March 20, 2009, Mr. Ledecky spent the entire day working with TouchTunes to further refine the merger agreement and complete negotiation of various deal points including the lock-up agreements, the consideration to be issued in the merger, the EBITDA earnout, board composition and proposed stock option plan.

On March 21, 2009, Mr. Ledecky received a call from Mr. Quick with several additional inquiries and negotiating points on behalf of TouchTunes in preparation for a meeting of the TouchTunes board of directors.

On March 23, 2009, a meeting of the Victory board of directors was held. All directors attended, as did, by invitation, David Alan Miller, Brian L. Ross and Jeffrey M. Gallant of Graubard Miller. Prior to the meeting, copies of the most recent drafts of the significant transaction documents, in substantially final form, were delivered to the directors. After considerable review and discussion, the merger agreement and related documents were unanimously approved, subject to final negotiations and modifications, and the board determined to recommend the approval of the merger agreement.

The merger agreement was signed on March 23, 2009. Prior to the market open on March 24, 2009, Victory issued a press release and on March 24, 2009 filed a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the execution of the merger agreement and discussing the terms of the merger agreement.

Victory’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Merger

Victory’s board of directors reviewed industry and financial data in order to determine that the transaction terms were reasonable and that the merger was in the best interests of Victory’s stockholders.

Victory conducted a due diligence review of TouchTunes that included an industry analysis, a description of TouchTunes’ existing business model, a valuation analysis and financial projections in order to enable the board

of directors to ascertain the reasonableness of the of consideration. During its negotiations with TouchTunes, Victory did not receive consulting services from any unrelated financial advisors because its officers and directors believe that their experience and backgrounds were sufficient to enable them to make the necessary analysis and determinations.

The management of Victory, including members of its board of directors, has long and diverse experience in operational management, investments and financial management and analysis. In the opinion of Victory’s Board of Directors, it is well qualified to conduct the due diligence and other investigations and analyses required in connection with the search for a merger partner. Eric J. Watson, Victory’s chairman and treasurer, Jonathan J. Ledecky, Victory’s president and secretary, Jay H. Nussbaum, Kerry Kennedy, Robert B. Hersov, Edward J. Mathias and Richard Y. Roberts, each a director of Victory, were officers and directors of Endeavor Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company, which successfully consummated a merger with American Apparel, Inc. on December 12, 2007. While a fairness opinion was originally obtained from an independent financial advisor in the Endeavor/American Apparel transaction, the consideration and other terms of that transaction were materially modified to make the transaction more attractive to American Apparel after the board had initially approved the transaction. Given the existing time constraints facing Endeavor, the independent financial advisor was not asked to re-evaluate the transaction. Instead, the board felt, based on the broad experience of management and board of directors, that it was able to properly evaluate the modified transaction and determine it was fair without the assistance of such third party. This is consistent with other transactions that Victory’s management and directors were involved in where independent financial advisors were not asked to provide fairness opinions. Eric J. Watson and Jonathan J. Ledecky have substantial experience in identifying, acquiring and operating a wide variety of service businesses. Together, they have been personally involved in the formation of over 25 companies and such companies have made over 400 acquisitions. In all of these transactions, each of Messrs. Watson and Ledecky was involved, either directly or in a supervisory capacity, in searching for targets, conducting due diligence, negotiating the terms of the acquisitions and consummating such transactions. Additionally, members of Victory’s board are experienced in the investment, securities and capital management industries. Victory believes that this experience makes Victory’s management and board highly qualified to render an opinion on the merits of this transaction and, therefore, the board determined it could conclude that the business combination was fair from a financial perspective to Victory’s stockholders without obtaining a fairness opinion. Furthermore, given the time constraints Victory faced in completing such business combination, the board determined that it was not practicable to obtain such an opinion on a timely basis.

The Victory board of directors concluded that the merger agreement with TouchTunes is in the best interests of Victory’s stockholders. In reaching this conclusion, it considered a wide variety of factors. In light of the complexity of those factors, the board did not consider it practicable to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its decision. In addition, individual members of the board may have given different weight to different factors. The following is a summary of all of the material factors that the Victory board of directors considered:

TouchTunes’ Record of Growth and Potential for Future Growth

Important criteria to Victory’s board of directors in identifying an acquisition target were that the target business had established business operations, that it was generating stable current revenues, and that it had what the board believed to be the potential to experience growth in EBITDA and earnings per share in the future. Victory’s board of directors believes th at TouchTunes has the appropriate infrastructure in place and is well positioned in its industry to achieve organic growth through the integration of the Barfly and PlayporTT systems into TouchTunes’ established network. The board’s belief in TouchTunes’ growth potential is based on TouchTunes’ historical growth rate in its jukebox segment and the positive overall industry dynamics in the out-of-home interactive entertainment network industry. TouchTunes has been able to increase the number of its installed jukebox locations from 15,000 locations at the beginning of 2005 to over 36,500 locations by the end of 2008. During the last three years, TouchTunes installed over 6,000-plus digital jukebox units per year. Victory’s board of directors believes that this installed base, combined with the capital provided by Victory, will accelerate the ability of TouchTunes to implement a national rollout of the Barfly and PlayporTT systems.

The Experience of TouchTunes’ Management

Another important criteria to Victory’s board of directors in identifying an acquisition target was that the target business has a seasoned operations team with specialized knowledge of the markets within which it operates. Victory’s board of directors believes that the management teams at TouchTunes leading the jukebox, Barfly and PlayporTT initiatives have unique expertise in both the technological aspects of the products and their successful development, sales, marketing and product innovation. Victory’s board of directors considered TouchTunes’ prior experience as a public company and concluded that the experience gained by TouchTunes’ executive officers and employees that still remain with TouchTunes would be valuable following completion of the merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such individuals are employed by TouchTunes on an “at-will” basis and therefore may not necessarily remain with the company for any specific period of time following the merger.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

TouchTunes’ current financial condition and results of operations was another important criteria to Victory’s board of directors. For several years, TouchTunes had incurred losses from jukebox sales and leases in order to gain multi-year contracts, leading to recurring revenue streams from song plays. This, together with other factors, resulted in TouchTunes achieving a market share of over 60% in the digital jukebox market. The Board considered the value of TouchTunes having 700 million songs played annually on its jukeboxes. This ranks TouchTunes as the number two provider of digital music in the world behind Apple’s iTunes system. In 2008, TouchTunes recorded on average $9,000 in gross music services revenues per jukebox and received approximately 20% of that revenue stream (prior to royalty payments). Its industry leadership within an otherwise fragmented distribution channel has led it to work with 21 distributors and over 2,800 operators. As a result of this strategy, after several years of losses, TouchTunes recorded positive EBITDA of approximately $7.1 million in 2008. This growth is consistent with its 2009 sales revenue forecast of $98.1 million and EBITDA of $23.5 million without the use of any capital provided from the proposed merger with Victory.

Valuation

The Victory board considered the value of TouchTunes in relation to its growth potential. Given the unique nature of both the existing TouchTunes business and its Barfly and PlayporTT initiatives, the Victory board did not have a directly related public or private comparable company with which to value the TouchTunes transaction.

The reason for this was that there was no comparable public company that competed in all three segments of TouchTunes’ business. Accordingly, in analyzing TouchTunes from a comparable company basis, the board reviewed various public and private companies that had at least one element of each of the three business product lines at TouchTunes. Comparable public and private companies considered were in one of the following verticals:

A. Video game and Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) subscription based, pay-per-play video game companies.

B. Outdoor advertising, billboard and point-of-purchase companies, point-of-sale companies, and alternative out-of-home advertising companies.

C. Transactional related companies and micro-revenue coin operated companies.

Given the lack of any single company that was comparable to TouchTunes on all three verticals, Victory individually assessed a broad list of companies in such verticals. These companies included JC Decaux, Lamar Advertising, Clear Channel Outdoor, National Cinemedia, and Coinstar. It determined that public companies in the verticals currently traded at values equal to 8 to 12 times such companies’ projected EBITDA for their fiscal years ending in 2010.

It also reviewed the following private transactions:

 

Date		Acquiror		Target		Description
Mar-09		Cisco Systems		Pure Digital Technologies		Digital imaging solutions
Mar-08		Parthenon Capital		Health Club Panel Network		Health club advertising
Feb-08		Lamar Advertising		Vista Media Group		Traditional billboard advertising
Oct-07		Catterton Partners		On Target Media		Medical office advertising
Sep-07		CBS		SignStorey		Supermarket advertising
Jan-06		Discovery		Accent Health		Medical office advertising
Jul-05		Thomson		PRN Corporation		Retail store advertising
Apr-04		Gannett		Captivate Network		Advertising in office building elevators

These transactions were completed at values equal to an average of 15 times projected EBITDA for the succeeding 12 months at the time of the transaction.

In addition, the board relied upon base case projections from TouchTunes, based on its current resources and deployment plans, that showed a compound annual growth rate of 29% in revenue and 110% in EBITDA from 2008 through 2011. During this period, EBITDA is forecasted to increase from $7.1 million in 2008 to $70.4 million in 2011, while revenues increase from $85.0 million in 2008 to $182.0 million in 2011. The Victory board studied the projected growth of the business and concluded that a meaningful portion of the revenue and EBITDA growth in the baseline projections came from the existing digital jukebox business. The jukebox business projections tracked historical play-amounts consistent with historical performance. The assumptions on these base case projections were based on the continued historical growth in the installed base of TouchTunes digital video jukebox customers during this period of between 4,000 and 5,000 new installations annually. The gross profit margins of this business along with the growth in the installed base starting from approximately 37,000 in-service jukeboxes in 2009 were drivers of the revenue and EBITDA growth. In addition, under this stand-alone, non-merger model, the PlayPorTT and Barfly systems were to be financed from a combination of free cash flow generated by the core digital jukebox business and from TouchTunes’ borrowing capacity under its senior credit facility.

In addition to baseline projections for the jukebox business, the Victory board reviewed the baseline projections of the Barfly and PlayporTT business segments. Data was presented to the Victory board showing Barfly trial data for initial units and orders for PlayporTT units from both restaurant chains in the United States and Canada. The Victory Board assessed the initial market acceptance of PlayporTT, with approximately 1,500 units scheduled for installation by the end of the first half of 2009, and the scalability of the Barfly system. The Victory board also made its own assessment of potential advertising revenues, given the desirability of the target demographic of 21 to 34 year-olds in bars, that could be achieved using digital jukeboxes in service, in addition to the potential installed base of Barfly and PlayporTT units.

As set forth below, the board evaluated the revenues that could be achieved if TouchTunes installs different numbers of digital jukeboxes, PlayPorTT and Barfly units, based on assumed per-unit revenue projections multiplied by hypothetical numbers of installed units. Per-unit revenue projections for digital jukeboxes are based on TouchTunes’ historical results for those systems, without the assumption of any advertising revenues on jukeboxes. Per-unit revenue projections for PlayPorTT units are based on the results produced by a limited trial of 350 units used for approximately three months. Per-unit Barfly advertising inventory value projections are based on a single study and business model and are not yet supported by actual results. This business model uses observed traffic volumes and assumes a cost per thousand (CPM) of $1.00. The number of installed units assumed was merely to demonstrate what could be installed, and was not based on a projection of the number of units which would be installed at any point in time.

The forecasts reviewed by Victory’s board did not include the potential impact on both sales and EBITDA through the use of up to approximately $310 million of Victory’s equity capital. Upon incorporating this capital, the board analyzed the potential for TouchTunes’ accelerated growth of the PlayPorTT and Barfly systems, as set forth below, using an estimated cost of approximately $2,000 to $2,500 for each PlayPorTT and estimated cost of approximately $2,500 to $3,000 for each Barfly system, each unit, depreciated over five years. The board also considered how rapidly the rollout of the PlayPorTT and Barfly systems could be accomplished utilizing the Victory capital.

In addition, the Victory board assessed the cash flow and EBITDA characteristics of the digital video jukebox business. The accelerating cash flow derived from music service revenue and the profitability trend line of the product revenue business provided a second valuation metric.

On a combined basis, the assessment of the three business lines and the quantitative “sum of the parts” analysis provided the Victory board with a range of outcomes based on various EBITDA multiple assumptions described above.

Based on the foregoing, Victory arrived at the conclusion that the transaction resulted in a range of potential values for TouchTunes of 6 to 8 times projected EBITDA for the succeeding 12 months. The board recognized that these multiples were below the multiples described above for comparable public and private transactions, providing what the board believed to be an attractive margin that could help offset unanticipated adverse changes in TouchTunes’ projected performance and operations or general adverse changes in the U.S. economy.

Given the board’s significant transaction experience, and in the case of several directors, direct operating experience in high growth industries, the board agreed with Victory management that it had negotiated terms which they felt were in the best interest of Victory stockholders.

The forecasts of TouchTunes’ future operating results are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond TouchTunes’ control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, Victory believes that the prospective financial information covering periods beyond twelve months from its date of preparation carries increasingly higher levels of uncertainty and should be read in that context. There will be differences between actual and projected results, and actual results may be materially greater or materially less than those reflected by the projections. The inclusion of the projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that Victory, TouchTunes or their respective representatives considered or consider the forecasts to be a reliable prediction of future events, and reliance should not be placed on the forecasts.

The forecasts were disclosed to Victory for use as one of many factors in its overall evaluation of TouchTunes, and are included in this proxy statement/prospectus solely for that reason. Neither TouchTunes’ management nor any of its representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of TouchTunes compared to the information contained in the forecasts, and none of them intends to update or otherwise revise the base case projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the forecasts are shown to be in error. Accordingly, they should not be looked upon as “guidance” of any sort. TouchTunes will not refer back to these forecasts in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

TouchTunes’ registered independent public accounting firm has neither examined nor compiled the base case projections and, accordingly, they do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

Potential adverse factors considered by Victory

Victory’s board evaluated several potential adverse factors in its consideration of the acquisition of TouchTunes. These included:

 

•

TouchTunes history of losses . TouchTunes’ history of losses was considered by the board. Victory determined, however, that the growth prospects of TouchTunes outweighed concerns based on historical losses. In this regard, it was noted that losses were incurred during the development and rollout of TouchTunes’ business. The board noted TouchTunes’ increasing net sales and decreasing net losses and the overall growth opportunities presented by TouchTunes’ business strategy and position in its target markets. Importantly, the board noted that TouchTunes had operated profitably during the last two quarters of 2008.

 

•

TouchTunes’ level of indebtedness. In its evaluation of TouchTunes, Victory considered TouchTunes’ debt servicing obligations. Victory believes, however, that TouchTunes will have the ability to obtain replacement financing on more favorable terms. Further, Victory reviewed TouchTunes’ indebtedness, including its relationships with its lenders. It was determined that TouchTunes’ relationships were in good order. It was further determined that such indebtedness could be repaid after closing of the merger without impacting TouchTunes ability to achieve its business plan.

 

•

Adverse general economic conditions . In its evaluation of TouchTunes, Victory considered the current adverse economic conditions and the impact such conditions could have on TouchTunes’ business. It was the board’s belief that the trends evidenced in TouchTunes financial results for the past 12 months, including profitable operating during the last two quarters of 2008, demonstrated potential resistance or minimal exposure to recessionary economic forces and that TouchTunes’ markets, position in such markets and growth strategy outweighed concerns about general economic conditions.

 

•

Interim nature of current CEO . Victory took note that TouchTunes’ current chief executive officer is serving on a transitional basis and that TouchTunes is engaged in a search for a new chief executive officer. Furthermore, although Victory has no reason to believe that any other member of TouchTunes’ management currently plans to terminate employment with TouchTunes, all of TouchTunes’ officers serve on an “at-will” basis and therefore may not necessarily remain with the company for any specific period of time following the merger. However, Victory met with and evaluated the entire TouchTunes’ management team and key operating personnel and determined that this management team was qualified to execute TouchTunes’ business strategy. The board of Victory also considered the depth and breadth of experience of the proposed board of Victory following consummation of the merger and determined that the board will be a valuable resource of the combined companies going forward, including in connection with the search of a talented chief executive officer.

The board of Victory was cognizant of Victory’s liquidation date of April 24, 2009, but ultimately evaluated the potential business combination with TouchTunes strictly on the quantitative and qualitative information regarding TouchTunes and its business that was available. Since completion of Victory’s IPO, the board has been regularly kept apprised of potential business combination targets and management’s discussions and evaluation

 

52

Table of Contents

of such targets. As discussed above, Victory engaged in an ongoing and systematic search for potential business combination candidates, deciding on its own accord in various situations to terminate discussions with potential candidates when determined by management that such candidates did not ultimately represent the investment opportunity that Victory wanted to present to its stockholders.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement that any business acquired by Victory have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of Victory’s trust account balance (excluding amounts payable for deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) at the time of such acquisition. The Victory board of directors valued TouchTunes at approximately $370 million by using (i) a multiple of TouchTunes projected EBITDA for fiscal 2010 derived from the multiples evidenced by the share prices of identified public companies or paid by acquirors of identified private companies that operate in at least one of TouchTunes three key business segments and (ii) base case projections provided by TouchTunes showing material compounded annual growth in revenues and EBITDA through 2011, as more fully described above in the section “ Valuation .” The $370 million value of TouchTunes is materially in excess of approximately $264 million, representing 80% of the balance of Victory’s trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions), and the board accordingly concluded that the 80% requirement contained in Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation was met. The Victory board of directors believes because of the financial skills and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the acquisition of TouchTunes met this requirement.

Interests of Victory’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Merger

In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of Victory to vote for the proposal to approve the merger proposal, you should be aware that certain Victory directors and officers have agreements or arrangements that provide them with interests in the merger that differ from, or are in addition to, those of Victory stockholders generally. In particular:

When you consider the recommendation of Victory’s board of directors in favor of approval of the merger proposal, you should keep in mind that Victory’s directors and officers have interests in the merger transaction that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

 

•

If the merger is not consummated by April 24, 2009, Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that it will automatically be liquidated. In such event, the 7,500,000 Founders’ Shares held by Victory’s directors and officers that were acquired before the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 would be worthless because Victory’s directors and officers are not entitled to receive any of the liquidation proceeds with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of $74,250,000 based upon the closing price of $9.90 on the NYSE Amex on April 7, 2009, the record date for the Victory special meeting.

 

•

Eric J. Watson and Jonathan J. Ledecky also purchased 5,000,000 Sponsors’ Warrants, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 (or $1.00 per warrant) pursuant to agreements with Victory and Citigroup and entered into in connection with Victory’s IPO. These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of Victory’s IPO. All of the proceeds Victory received from these purchases were placed in Victory’s trust fund. The Sponsors’ Warrants are identical to the Victory warrants except that the warrants will not be transferable or salable by Messrs. Watson and Ledecky (except in certain limited circumstances such as to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, providing the transferee agrees to be bound by the transfer restrictions) until Victory completes a business combination and if Victory calls the warrants for redemption, the Sponsors’ Warrants will not be redeemable so long as such warrants are held by Messrs. Watson or Ledecky or their affiliates, including any permitted transferees. All of the Sponsors’ Warrants will become worthless if the merger is not consummated and Victory is liquidated (as will the public warrants). Such Sponsors’ Warrants had an aggregate market value of $700,000, based on the closing price of $0.14 on the NYSE Amex on April 7, 2009, the record date for the Victory special meeting.

•

The transactions contemplated by the merger agreement provide that each of Jonathan J. Ledecky and Edward J. Mathias will be a director of Victory after the closing of the merger. As such, in the future they will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Victory board of directors determines to pay to its non-executive directors.

 

•

If Victory liquidates prior to the consummation of a business combination, Eric J. Watson, Victory’s chairman and treasurer, and Jonathan J. Ledecky, Victory’s president and secretary, will be personally liable to pay debts and obligations to vendors and other entities that are owed money by Victory for services rendered or products sold to Victory, or to any target business, to the extent such creditors bring claims that would otherwise require payment from monies in the trust account, but only if such entities did not execute a waiver. Based on Victory’s estimated debts and obligations, it is not currently expected that Messrs. Watson and Ledecky will have any exposure under this arrangement in the event of a liquidation.

 

•

If Victory is required to be liquidated and there are no funds remaining to pay the costs associated with the implementation and completion of such liquidation, Eric J. Watson and Jonathan J. Ledecky have agreed to advance Victory the funds necessary to pay such costs and complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and not to seek repayment for such expenses.

Additionally, upon consummation of the merger, the underwriters in Victory’s IPO will be entitled to receive $10,560,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions. Furthermore, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky have agreed to transfer an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock of Victory to Constellation for providing consulting services in connection with the transaction. Additionally, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky have agreed to transfer an aggregate of 100,000 shares to two consultants of Victory that were entitled to such shares being issued directly by Victory. As a result, such shares will not be issued by Victory. Neither the consultants, the underwriters nor Constellation will receive anything if the merger is not consummated.

Recommendation of Victory’s Board of Directors

After careful consideration of the matters described above, Victory’s board of directors determined unanimously that the merger proposal is fair to and in the best interests of Victory and its stockholders. Victory’s board of directors has approved and declared advisable and unanimously recommend that you vote or give instructions to vote “FOR” the merger proposal.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Victory board of directors is not meant to be exhaustive, but includes the material information and factors considered by the Victory board of directors.

TouchTunes’ Reasons for the Merger

TouchTunes’ principal reason for entering into the merger with Victory is to raise significant capital, which should enable TouchTunes to expand its business and more rapidly deploy its PlayPorTT ^™ units and Barfly systems. The proposed merger provides a rare opportunity in a difficult capital market to raise significant funding on favorable terms, while maintaining in place TouchTunes’ management and key holders to carry out the current strategy of the company. Furthermore, the merger will provide TouchTunes with public market access for later financings, greater opportunity to attract experienced directors and a new Chief Executive Officer to replace TouchTunes’ current transitional Chief Executive Officer, as well as improved liquidity for TouchTunes’ stockholders.

TouchTunes is a much larger company operationally and financially than it was in 2005. At that time, the cost of remaining public had a much more significant impact on overall operating results than it will in 2009. In addition, TouchTunes’ funding was limited and the Board preferred to expend the company’s resources on growing the business rather than on remaining a public company. Finally, the market for TouchTunes’ common stock was relatively illiquid and the Board did not believe that this would likely change in the near future. The current board believes that the factors that led TouchTunes to go private in 2005 are no longer applicable in the context of this deal, for the reasons noted above.

Actions That May Be Taken to Secure Approval of Victory’s Stockholders

Based on recently completed business combinations by other similarly structured blank check companies, it is believed by Victory that the present holders of 20% or more of the Public Shares may have the intention to vote against the merger and seek conversion of their Public Shares into cash in accordance with Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. If such event were to occur, the merger could not be completed. To preclude such possibility, Victory, the Victory Founders, TouchTunes and the holders of TouchTunes common stock may negotiate arrangements to provide for the purchase of the Public Shares from the holders of Public Shares who indicate their intention to vote against the merger and seek conversion or otherwise wish to sell their Public Shares. These arrangements might also include arrangements to provide such holders of Public Shares with incentives to vote in favor of the merger proposal.

Arrangements of such nature would only be entered into and effected at a time when Victory, the Victory Founders, TouchTunes and the holders of TouchTunes common stock and/or their respective affiliates are not aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Victory, its securities or TouchTunes. Definitive arrangements have not yet been determined but might include:

 

•

Agreements between Victory and the holders of Public Shares pursuant to which Victory would agree to purchase Public Shares from such holders immediately after the closing of the merger for the price and fees specified in the arrangements.

 

•

Agreements with third parties to be identified pursuant to which the third parties would purchase Public Shares during the period beginning on the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus/proxy statement/prospectus is a part is declared effective. Such arrangements would also provide for Victory, immediately after the closing of the merger, to purchase from the third parties all of the Public Shares purchased by them for the price and fees specified in the arrangements.

 

•

Agreements with third parties pursuant to which Victory would borrow funds to make purchases of Public Shares for its own account. Victory would repay such borrowings with funds transferred to it from Victory’s trust account upon closing of the merger.

As a result of the purchases that may be effected through such arrangements, it is likely that the number of shares of common stock of Victory in its public float will be significantly reduced and that the number of beneficial holders of Victory’s and Victory’s securities also will be reduced. This may make it difficult to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of Victory’s securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other national securities exchange.

Victory will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the merger proposal or the conversion threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons. If members of Victory’s board of directors or officers make purchases pursuant to such arrangements, they will be required to report these purchases on beneficial ownership reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The purpose of such arrangements would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the holders of a majority of the Public Shares present (in person or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote on the merger proposal vote in its favor and that holders of fewer than 20% of the Public Shares vote against the merger proposal and demand conversion of their Public Shares into cash where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. All shares purchased pursuant to such arrangements would be voted in favor of the merger proposal. If, for some reason, the merger is not closed despite such purchases, the purchasers would be entitled to participate in liquidation distributions from Victory’s trust fund with respect to such shares.

Table of Contents

Purchases pursuant to such arrangements ultimately paid for with funds in Victory’s trust account would diminish the funds available to Victory after the merger for working capital and general corporate purposes. Nevertheless, in all events there will be sufficient funds available to Victory from the trust account to pay the holders of all Public Shares that are properly converted.

It is possible that the special meeting could be adjourned to provide time to seek out and negotiate such transactions if, at the time of the meeting, it appears that the requisite vote will not be obtained or that the limitation on conversion will be exceeded, assuming that an adjournment proposal is approved. Also, under Delaware law, the board of directors may postpone the meeting at any time prior to it being called to order in order to provide time to seek out and negotiate such transactions.

Rescission Rights

Victory’s IPO prospectus did not disclose that funds in its trust account might be used, directly or indirectly, to purchase Public Shares in order to secure approval of Victory’s stockholders on the merger. Accordingly, if funds in the trust account are used for such purpose, each holder of Public Shares at the time of the merger who purchased his Public Shares in the IPO and who has not converted his shares into cash may have securities law claims against Victory for rescission (under which a successful claimant has the right to receive the total amount paid for his or her securities pursuant to an allegedly deficient prospectus, plus interest and less any income earned on the securities, in exchange for surrender of the securities) or damages (compensation for loss on an investment caused by alleged material misrepresentations or omissions in the sale of a security).

Such claims may entitle stockholders asserting them to up to $10.00 per share, based on the initial offering price of the IPO units comprised of stock and warrants, less any amount received from sale of the original warrants purchased with them, plus interest from the date of Victory’s IPO (which, in the case of holders of Public Shares, may be more than the pro rata share of the trust account to which they are entitled on conversion or liquidation).

In general, a person who purchased shares pursuant to a defective prospectus or other representation must make a claim for rescission within the applicable statute of limitations period, which, for claims made under Section 12 of the Securities Act and some state statutes, is one year from the time the claimant discovered or reasonably should have discovered the facts giving rise to the claim, but not more than three years from the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. A successful claimant for damages under federal or state law could be awarded an amount to compensate for the decrease in value of his or her shares caused by the alleged violation (including, possibly, punitive damages), together with interest, while retaining the shares. Claims under the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws must generally be brought within two years of discovery, but not more than five years after occurrence. Rescission and damages claims would not necessarily be finally adjudicated by the time the merger with TouchTunes may be completed, and such claims would not be extinguished by consummation of that transaction.

Even if you do not pursue such claims, others, who may include all holders of Public Shares, may. Neither Victory nor TouchTunes can predict whether Victory stockholders will bring such claims, how many might bring them or the extent to which they might be successful.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger to Victory and Its Stockholders

The following section is a summary of the opinion of Graubard Miller, counsel to Victory, regarding material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger to holders of Victory common stock. This discussion addresses only those Victory security holders that hold their securities as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, and does not address all the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their individual circumstances or to holders that are subject to special rules, such as:

 

•

financial institutions;

 

56

---

Table of Contents

•

investors in pass-through entities;

 

•

tax-exempt organizations;

 

•

dealers in securities or currencies;

 

•

traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting;

 

•

persons that hold Victory common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or conversion transaction; and

 

•

persons who are not citizens or residents of the United States.

The Graubard Miller opinion is based upon the Code, applicable treasury regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax considerations under state, local and foreign laws, or federal laws other than those pertaining to the income tax, are not addressed.

Neither Victory nor TouchTunes intends to request any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger.

It is the opinion of Graubard Miller that the merger of Merger Sub will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and that no gain or loss will be recognized by Victory or by the stockholders of Victory if their conversion rights are not exercised.

It is also the opinion of Graubard Miller that a stockholder of Victory who exercises conversion rights and effects a termination of the stockholder’s interest in Victory will be required to recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of that stockholder’s shares of common stock of Victory for cash. Such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares of Victory common stock. This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the merger and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the share of Victory common stock is more than one year.

The conclusions expressed above are based on current law. Future legislative, administrative or judicial changes or interpretations, which can apply retroactively, could affect the accuracy of those conclusions. The tax opinion issued to Victory by Graubard Miller, its counsel, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E. Graubard Miller has consented to the use of its opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus.

This discussion is intended to provide only a summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger. It does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, your individual circumstances. In addition, the discussion does not address any non-income tax or any foreign, state or local tax consequences of the merger. Accordingly, you are strongly urged to consult with your tax advisor to determine the particular United States federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences to you of the merger.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The acquisition will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since immediately following the completion of the transaction, the stockholders of TouchTunes immediately prior to the business combination will have effective control of Victory through its approximately 43.0% stockholder interest in the combined entity, assuming no share conversions (47.4% in the event of maximum share conversion), which includes its largest principal stockholder owning approximately 33.3% of the TouchTunes stockholder interest in the combined company. In addition, through TouchTunes’ 43.0% stockholder interest TouchTunes will maintain effective control of the combined entity through control of a substantial proportion of the board of directors by maintaining four of the seven board seats for an expected term of three years. Additionally, all of TouchTunes senior executive positions will continue on as management of the combined entity after consummation of the

Table of Contents

transaction. For accounting purposes, TouchTunes will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction will be treated as a recapitalization of TouchTunes. Accordingly, TouchTunes’ assets, liabilities and results of operations will become the historical financial statements of the registrant, and Victory’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with TouchTunes effective as of the acquisition date. No step-up in basis or intangible assets or goodwill will be recorded in this transaction.

Regulatory Matters

The merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for the HSR Act and for filings with the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the merger.

Required Vote

The approval of the merger proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Public Shares present (in person or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote at the Victory special meeting.

THE VICTORY BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE VICTORY STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE MERGER PROPOSAL.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

For a discussion of the merger structure, merger consideration and indemnification provisions of the merger agreement, see the section entitled “The Merger Proposal.” Such discussion and the following summary of other material provisions of the merger agreement is qualified by reference to the complete text of the merger agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference. All stockholders are encouraged to read the merger agreement in its entirety for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the merger.

Closing and Effective Time of the Merger

The closing of the merger will take place promptly following the satisfaction of the conditions described below under the subsection entitled “Conditions to the Closing of the Merger,” unless Victory and TouchTunes agree in writing to another time. The merger is expected to be consummated promptly after the special meeting of Victory’s stockholders described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Merger Consideration

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, holders of TouchTunes common and preferred stock will receive in the merger 30,511,427 shares of Victory common stock. Additionally, all outstanding TouchTunes’ options and warrants shall be cancelled and substituted with options and warrants of similar tenor to purchase an aggregate of 4,430,548 shares of Victory common stock, which includes warrants to purchase 808,029 shares of Victory common stock and vested options to purchase 1,658,571 shares of Victory common stock. The holders of TouchTunes common stock, preferred stock and options also will have the right to receive up to an additional 9,861,025 EBITDA Shares, of which 618,325 relate to unvested options, if the combined company’s EBITDA exceeds an aggregate of $50 million for any two consecutive quarters during the period ending on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger. The EBITDA Shares will be issued at the closing of the merger and will be placed in escrow until they are earned. If the EBITDA target is not met, the EBITDA Shares shall be returned to Victory for cancellation. If the EBITDA target is met, the TouchTunes options and warrants shall also be adjusted to purchase an additional 257,301 shares of Victory common stock.

Exchange Ratio

If TouchTunes common and preferred stockholders own 50% or more of the combined entity after the merger, the merger consideration will be distributed pro rata among all holders of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock, and each stockholder will receive one share of Victory common stock for every 4.65565 shares of TouchTunes common stock or preferred stock they held immediately prior to the merger. If, however, the holders of outstanding TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock immediately prior to the merger hold less than 50% of the voting power of Victory after the merger, the merger will constitute a “Liquidation Event” under TouchTunes’ Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in which case the merger consideration will be distributed among TouchTunes common and preferred stockholders in accordance with liquidation preferences of such securities. Specifically, shares of Victory common stock will be distributed as follows if the proposed merger constitutes a Liquidation Event:

 

(i)

3,166,184 shares of Victory common stock will be distributed to the holders of TouchTunes Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, in an amount equal to their respective liquidation preferences; and

 

(ii)

27,345,243 shares of Victory common stock will be distributed to the holders of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock (on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis), including the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, on a pro rata basis.

Based on the foregoing, if the merger is deemed to be a Liquidation Event, after payment of the liquidation preference to holders of Series B preferred stock and Series C preferred stock pursuant to clause (i) above of

 

59

---

Table of Contents

TouchTunes common and preferred stock (including holders of Series B and Series C preferred stock) will receive one share of Victory common stock for every 5.148463 shares of TouchTunes common stock held (on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis).

Based on the number of outstanding shares of Victory common stock as of the date hereof, the merger will constitute a Liquidation Event because, immediately following the merger, former TouchTunes stockholders will own approximately 43.0% voting power in the combined entity, assuming no share conversions, and 47.4% in the event of maximum share conversion. If, however, as noted in the Prospectus under the section entitled “ Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Actions That May Be Taken to Secure Approval of Victory’s Stockholders ,” Victory, its officers, directors and founding stockholders, TouchTunes and its stockholders enter into arrangements to provide for the purchase of Public Shares from holders thereof who indicate their intention to vote against the merger, seek conversion or otherwise wish to sell their Public Shares, or other arrangements that would induce holders of Public Shares not to vote against the merger proposal, the number of outstanding shares of Victory common stock could be reduced below the number of shares of Victory common stock that TouchTunes stockholders will receive as a result of the merger. In such case, the merger may not constitute a Liquidation Event.

The following chart illustrates the number of shares of Victory common stock issuable in the merger to a holder of 2,000 shares of TouchTunes common stock in the event that the merger is and is not deemed to be a Liquidation Event. Because fractional shares of Victory common stock will not be issued to TouchTunes stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the below example contains only whole numbers of shares of Victory common stock.

		Deemed a Liquidation Event		Not Deemed a Liquidation Event
2,000 shares of TouchTunes common stock		380 shares of Victory common stock		420 shares of Victory common stock
		after payment of liquidation preference to holders of Series B preferred stock and Series C preferred stock

EBITDA Shares

Victory has agreed to issue 9,861,025 shares of Victory common stock, of which 618,325 relate to unvested options as of April 1, 2009, if the combined company’s EBITDA exceeds an aggregate of $50 million for any two consecutive quarters ending on the fourth anniversary of the closing of the merger. These shares will be deposited with an independent escrow agent until the combined company meets or exceeds these targets.

If the combined company meets these targets, TouchTunes common stock, preferred stock, and option holders will be entitled to receive EBITDA shares, on a pro rata basis, in the same proportion as their proportionate share of the total TouchTunes common and preferred stock (on an as-converted-to-common stock basis and ignoring any liquidation preference) immediately prior to the consummation of the merger. If the EBITDA target is met, the TouchTunes’ warrants shall also be adjusted to purchase an additional 257,301 shares of Victory common stock.

Indemnification

The merger agreement provides that Victory and TouchTunes will indemnify each other for losses that either party may sustain as a result of (i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the other party in the merger agreement or any schedule or certificate delivered by such party in connection with the merger agreement and (ii) the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement made by the other party in the merger agreement. To satisfy indemnification claims against TouchTunes, an aggregate of 10% of the shares

Table of Contents

of Victory common stock to be issued in the merger (3,051,143 shares of Victory common stock as of April 1, 2009) have been placed in an escrow account with an independent escrow agent. Such shares, valued at $10.00 per share, will be canceled to the extent that Victory has damages for which it is entitled to indemnification. The escrow will be the sole remedy for Victory for its rights to indemnification pursuant to the merger agreement. Claims for indemnification may be asserted against the escrow by Victory once the applicable damages exceed a deductible and will be reimbursable to the full extent of the damages in excess of such amount up to a maximum of the escrowed shares. To the extent that TouchTunes is entitled to indemnification for losses, Victory is obligated to issue shares of Victory common stock with a fair market value equal to the amount of such damages (not to exceed 10% of the shares of Victory common stock issued in the merger). Claims may be asserted until thirty (30) days after the date on which Victory has filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, but in no event later than April 30, 2010 (other than certain indemnification claims relating to the matters described in section 5.20 of the merger agreement, which may be brought by TouchTunes within another one year period). A copy of this escrow agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D.

Waiver

If permitted under applicable law, either Victory or TouchTunes may waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained in the merger agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to the merger agreement and waive compliance with any agreements or conditions for the benefit of itself or such party contained in the merger agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to the merger agreement.

At any time prior to the closing, either Victory or TouchTunes may, in writing, to the extent legally allowed, extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties to the merger agreement.

The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of them between what he may believe is best for Victory and what he may believe is best for himself in determining whether or not to grant a waiver in a specific situation.

Termination

The merger agreement may be terminated at any time, but not later than the closing, as follows:

 

•

by mutual written agreement of Victory and TouchTunes;

 

•

by either Victory or TouchTunes if the merger is not consummated by the date Victory is required to liquidate, provided that such termination is not available to a party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the merger to be consummated before such date and such action or failure to act is a breach of the merger agreement;

 

•

by either Victory or TouchTunes if a governmental entity shall have issued an order, decree, judgment or ruling or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the merger, which order, decree, judgment, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;

 

•

by either Victory or TouchTunes if the other party has breached any of its covenants or representations and warranties in any material respect and has not cured its breach within thirty days of the notice of an intent to terminate, provided that the terminating party is itself not in breach; and

 

•

by either Victory or TouchTunes if, at the Victory stockholder meeting, the merger agreement shall fail to be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Public Shares present (in person or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote at the meeting or the holders of 20% or more of the Public Shares exercise conversion rights.

Effect of Termination

In the event of proper termination by either Victory or TouchTunes, the merger agreement will become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Victory or TouchTunes, except that:

 

•

The confidentiality obligations set forth in the merger agreement will survive;

 

•

The waiver by TouchTunes of all rights against Victory to collect from the trust account any monies that may be owed to it by Victory for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to a breach of the merger agreement, and the acknowledgement that TouchTunes will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever, will survive;

 

•

the rights of the parties to bring actions against each other for breach of the merger agreement will survive; and

 

•

the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses.

Fees and Expenses

All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the merger agreement is consummated, except that Victory has reimbursed TouchTunes $250,000 in legal expenses incurred by TouchTunes in connection with the proposed merger.

Confidentiality; Access to Information

Victory and TouchTunes will afford to the other party and its financial advisors, accountants, counsel and other representatives prior to the completion of the merger reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to all of their respective properties, books, records and personnel to obtain all information concerning the business, including the status of product development efforts, properties, results of operations and personnel, as each party may reasonably request. Victory and TouchTunes will maintain in confidence any non-public information received from the other party, and use such non-public information only for purposes of consummating the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Amendments

The merger agreement may be amended by the parties thereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, some changes could have a material or fundamental impact on Victory stockholders. If material or fundamental changes are in fact made after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Victory would be required to immediately disclose such changes in a press release and in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

Public Announcements

The parties have agreed that until closing or termination of the merger agreement, the parties will:

 

•

cooperate in good faith to jointly prepare all press releases and public announcements pertaining to the merger agreement and the transactions governed by it; and

 

•

not issue or otherwise make any public announcement or communication pertaining to the merger agreement or the transaction without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld by the other party, except as may be required by applicable law or court process.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS)

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines historical balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and that of TouchTunes as of December 28, 2008, giving effect to the transactions described in the merger agreement as if they had occurred on December 31, 2008. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations combine Victory’s historical statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 with the historical consolidated statement of operations of TouchTunes for the year ended December 28, 2008, in each case giving effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2008.

The acquisition will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since immediately following the completion of the transaction, the stockholders of TouchTunes immediately prior to the business combination will have effective control of Victory through their approximately 43.0% stockholder interest in the combined entity. TouchTunes’ principal stockholder will have the right to designate a number of nominees to the board that will constitute a majority of the board immediately following the completion of the transaction. TouchTunes will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of TouchTunes. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical results of operations that are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements are those of TouchTunes and are recorded at the historical cost basis of TouchTunes. Victory’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of TouchTunes after consummation of the acquisition.

The pro forma adjustments give effect to events that are directly attributable to the transactions discussed below that have a continuing impact on the operations of Victory and that are based on available data and certain assumptions that Victory’s management believes are factually supportable.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements described above should be read in conjunction with Victory’s historical financial statements and those of TouchTunes and the related notes thereto. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and the unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the merger taken place on the dates noted, or of Victory’s future financial position or operating results.

On March 23, 2009, Victory entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization by which it will acquire TouchTunes. In exchange for all of the outstanding common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes, Victory will issue 30,511,427 shares of its common stock. Additionally, all outstanding TouchTunes’ options and warrants shall be cancelled and substituted with options and warrants of similar tenor to purchase an aggregate of 4,430,548 shares of Victory common stock, which includes warrants to purchase 808,029 shares of Victory common stock and vested options to purchase 1,658,571 shares of Victory common stock.

Consummation of the acquisition is conditioned upon, among other things, the Victory stockholders adopting and approving the merger agreement. If Victory stockholders owning 20% or more of Victory common stock sold in the IPO vote against the merger and exercise their right to convert their shares of Victory common stock issued in the IPO into a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, then the merger cannot be consummated. Consequently, up to 6,599,999 shares of Victory common stock, representing 19.99% of the 33,000,000 shares of Victory common stock issued in Victory’s IPO are subject to possible conversion in this manner. This would represent an aggregate maximum conversion amount of approximately $66.0 million as of December 31, 2008.

Table of Contents

The following unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared using two different assumptions with respect to the number of outstanding shares of Victory stock and cash, as follows:

 

•

assuming no conversions — this presentation assumes that no stockholders of Victory seek to convert their shares into a pro rata share of the trust account;

 

•

assuming maximum conversions — this presentation assumes stockholders of Victory owning 19.99% of the stock sold in Victory’s initial public offering seek conversion.

We are providing this information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements described above should be read in conjunction with Victory’s historical financial statements and those of TouchTunes and the related notes thereto. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and the unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the acquisition taken place on the dates noted, or of Victory’s future financial position or operating results.

Note 17		Adjustment reflects the reduction of interest income due to the lower balance of cash and cash equivalents following payment of approximately $65,241 assuming the holders of 19.99% of the Victory common stock sold in its initial public offering exercise their right to convert their stock into a pro rata share of the trust account.

Increase		Weighted average shares outstanding- basic		37,111,426
Common stock equivalents consisting of warrants and stock options were not included in the calculation of the diluted per share because it is not certain that these securities would be in the money subsequent to the merger. Potentially dilutive securities of 30,000,000 warrants (included within the units sold in the IPO), 3,000,000 warrants issued upon the exercise of the underwriters’ unit price option, 5,000,000 incentive warrants purchased by the founders and 4,430,548 Victory stock options exchanged for stock options and warrants outstanding in TouchTunes at the date of the merger have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Note 19		Adjustment reflects the reduction in shares of common stock outstanding resulting from the holders of 19.99% of the Victory common stock sold in its initial public offering exercising their right to convert their stock into a pro rata share of the trust account
		Maximum number of shares to be converted		6,599,999

We refer to these additional shares as the “EBITDA Shares.” The EBITDA Shares will be issued at the closing of the merger and will be placed in escrow until they are earned. If the EBITDA target is not met, the EBITDA Shares shall be returned to Victory for cancellation. If the EBITDA target is met, the TouchTunes’ warrants shall also be adjusted to purchase an additional 257,301 shares of Victory common stock.

THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSALS

The charter amendment proposals, if approved, will provide for the amendment of Victory’s present amended and restated certificate of incorporation to:

 

•

change Victory’s corporate name to “TouchTunes Corporation;”

 

•

increase the authorized number of shares of its common stock from 85 million to 300 million;

 

•

change the period of its corporate existence to perpetual;

 

•

specify that the Class A directors will be elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2010, the Class B directors will be elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2011 and the Class C directors will be elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2012, and that, beginning with the 2010 annual meeting, each class of directors will be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after its election;

 

•

delete the preamble and sections A through I, inclusive, of Article Seventh and to redesignate section J of Article Seventh as Article Seventh, as such provisions will no longer be applicable to Victory after the merger; and

 

•

make certain other changes in tense, number and gender that Victory’s board of directors believes are immaterial.

The provisions of Article Seventh that are proposed to be deleted, by the terms of the preamble (which also will be deleted), apply only during the period that will terminate upon the consummation of the business combination that will be effected by the merger. Section A requires that the business combination be submitted to Victory’s stockholders for approval under the Delaware General Corporation Law and is authorized by the vote of a majority of the Public Shares, provided that the business combination shall not be consummated if the holders of 20% or more of the Public Shares exercise their conversion rights. Section B specifies the procedures for exercising conversion rights. Section C provides that, if a business combination is not consummated by the “Termination Date” (April 24, 2009), only the holders of the Public Shares will be entitled to receive liquidating distributions. Section D provides that holders of Public Shares are entitled to receive distributions from Victory’s trust account established in connection with its initial public offering only in the event of Victory’s liquidation or by demanding conversion in accordance with section B. Section E provides that no other business combination may be consummated until Victory’s initial business combination meeting all of the requirements set forth in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation is consummated. Sections F and G provide when funds may be disbursed from Victory’s trust account and who must approve such disbursements. Section H provides that the audit committee must approve certain actions until consummation by Victory of its initial business combination. Section I provides that Victory may not issue any additional securities that share in the trust account.

In the judgment of Victory’s board of directors, the charter amendment proposals are desirable for the following reasons:

 

•

The change of Victory’s corporate name is desirable to reflect the merger with TouchTunes.

 

•

The increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock is necessary for Victory to have sufficient stock to issue to the holders of common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes to complete the merger and have additional authorized shares of common stock for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits.

 

•

The present amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that Victory’s corporate existence will terminate on April 24, 2009. In order to continue in existence after the consummation of the merger subsequent to such date, this provision must be amended. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for corporations and Victory’s board of directors believes it is the most appropriate period for Victory as the surviving company in the merger.

Table of Contents

•

As no meetings of stockholders have been held since the IPO, the present directors are the same persons who were appointed at the time of Victory’s organization. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the directors to be elected at the special meeting of stockholders to which this proxy statement/prospectus relates will serve for terms that expire in 2010 (Class A directors), 2011 (Class B directors) and 2012 (Class C directors). The proposed amendment to the present Article Seventh incorporates these classifications.

 

•

The preamble and sections A through I of the present Article Seventh relate to the operation of Victory as a blank check company prior to the consummation of its initial business combination and will not be applicable after consummation of the merger. Accordingly, they will serve no further purpose.

 

•

The other changes, which change certain verb tenses and pronouns, are believed by Victory’s board to be immaterial.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, authorized but unissued shares of common stock may enable Victory’s board of directors to render it more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of Victory and thereby protect continuity of or entrench its management, which may adversely affect the market price of Victory’s common stock. If in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, for example, Victory’s board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal were not in the best interests of Victory, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or other transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or make more costly the completion of any attempted takeover transaction by diluting voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by creating a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effect effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. The authorization of additional shares of common stock will also enable Victory to have the flexibility to authorize the issuance of shares of common stock in the future for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits. Victory currently has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the additional authorized shares of common stock for such purposes.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, approval of each charter amendment proposal is a condition to the consummation of the merger. If the merger proposal is not approved, the charter amendment proposals will not be presented at the meeting. If all of the charter amendment proposals are not approved, the merger will not be consummated even if the merger proposal is approved and the holders of fewer than 20% of the Public Shares vote against the merger proposal and properly demand that their Public Shares be converted into cash.

The approval of each charter amendment proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Victory common stock on the record date.

A copy of Victory’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as it will be in effect assuming approval of all of the charter amendment proposals and filing in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

VICTORY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF EACH OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSALS.

THE STOCK PLAN PROPOSAL

Background

The Victory 2009 Stock Incentive Plan has been approved by Victory’s board of directors and will take effect upon consummation of the merger, provided that it is approved by the stockholders at the special meeting. We are submitting the plan to stockholders for their approval so that options granted under the plan may qualify for treatment as incentive stock options and awards under the plan may constitute performance-based compensation not subject to Section 162(m) of the Code.

The plan reserves 4,000,000 shares of Victory common stock for issuance in accordance with the plan’s terms, subject to annual increases as provided in the plan. The purpose of the plan is to enable Victory to offer its employees, officers, directors and consultants whose past, present and/or potential contributions to Victory have been, are or will be important to the success of Victory, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in Victory. The various types of incentive awards that may be provided under the plan are intended to enable Victory to respond to changes in compensation practices, tax laws, accounting regulations and the size and diversity of its business.

In addition to the proposed reserved shares under the plan, all options to purchase TouchTunes common stock and all restricted stock awards for TouchTunes common stock that are outstanding at the time of the merger (as of April 1, 2009, 18,537,765 shares subject to outstanding options, of which 8,540,607 shares are vested, and 112,027 shares subject to outstanding earn-out restricted stock awards issued in connection with the Barfly acquisition) will be cancelled and substituted with options to purchase Victory common stock or restricted stock awards, as the case may be, under the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. The number of shares subject to such substituted options and awards, and the exercise price of such options, will be adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio in the merger and will otherwise be on the same terms and conditions as currently set forth in options and awards, including the vesting and termination provisions thereof. Furthermore, in addition to the 4,000,000 shares of Victory common stock reserved for new awards under the plan, an aggregate of up to 1,200,000 shares of Victory common stock will be reserved under the plan for the issuance of EBITDA shares related to outstanding TouchTunes options assumed by Victory upon consummation of the merger. To the extent that assumed options are not exercised or they expire, and to the extent that restricted stock awards do not become vested before the expiration of such awards, the shares underlying such options, awards and shares will not be available for grant under the plan.

On January 1 of each year, the maximum number of shares of Victory common stock reserved for issuance under the plan will automatically increase by a number of shares equal to the lesser of (i) 2,000,000 shares, (ii) 2% of the outstanding shares of Victory common stock on that date, and (iii) an amount determined by the Board.

A summary of the principal features of the plan is provided below, but is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the plan, which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex F. As used below in this section, “the “Company” refers to Victory (which will be operating under the name “TouchTunes Corporation”) as the surviving entity of the merger.

Administration

The plan will be administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors of Victory. Subject to the provisions of the plan, the committee determines, among other things, the persons to whom from time to time awards may be granted, the specific type of awards to be granted, the number of shares subject to each award, share prices, any restrictions or limitations on the awards, and any vesting, exchange, deferral, surrender, cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions related to the awards.

Stock Subject to the Plan

If any shares are subject to an award made after the consummation of the merger that is forfeited, settled in cash, or expires, any such unissued shares covered by such award will be available for issuance under the plan.

Table of Contents

Shares not issued as a result of the net exercise of a stock appreciation right, shares tendered by a participant or retained by the company as full or partial payment for the purchase of an award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with an award, or shares repurchased on the open market with the proceeds from the payment of an exercise price of a stock option will not again be available for issuance under the plan.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or other securities of the Company, or similar corporate transaction, as determined by the Committee, the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable and to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the plan, adjust the number and type of shares available for awards under the plan.

Duration of Plan

The plan will become effective upon the later of (a) the date the stockholders of the Company first approve the plan and (b) the consummation of the merger (the “Effective Date”). Unless sooner terminated as provided herein, the plan shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

Eligibility

Awards may be granted under the plan to employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered, or to be able to render, significant services to the Company and who are deemed to have contributed, or to have the potential to contribute, to our success.

Types of Awards

Options.  The plan provides both for “incentive” stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code, and for options not qualifying as incentive options, both of which may be granted with any other stock based award under the plan. The committee determines the exercise price per share of common stock purchasable under an incentive or non-qualified stock option, which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the day of the grant. However, the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a person possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of all shares of common stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable by a participant for the first time during any calendar year (under all of our plans), measured at the date of the grant, may not exceed $100,000.

A stock option may only be exercised within ten years from the date of the grant, or within five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a person who, at the time of the grant, owns common stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock. Subject to any limitations or conditions the board or committee may impose, stock options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the term of the stock option by giving written notice of exercise to us specifying the number of shares of common stock to be purchased. The notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, either in cash or, if provided in the agreement, in our securities or in combination of the two.

Except as otherwise permitted by the committee, stock options granted under the plan may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all stock options are exercisable during the holder’s lifetime, or in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the holder’s guardian or legal representative.

Stock Appreciation Rights.  The plan permits the committee to grant stock appreciation rights. A stock appreciation right entitles the holder to receive a number of shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the excess fair market value of one share of common stock over the exercise price, multiplied by the

Table of Contents

number of shares subject to the stock appreciation rights. The committee determines the exercise price per share, which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the day of the grant. A stock appreciation right may only be exercised within ten years from the date of the grant.

Restricted Stock.  Under the plan, shares of restricted stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the plan. The committee determines the number of shares to be awarded, the price if any to be paid for the restricted stock by the person receiving the stock from us, the time or times within which awards of restricted stock may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the restricted stock awards.

Performance Awards. Under the plan, awards may be granted that vest upon the achievement of specified performance goals during a performance period. Performance awards may consist of shares of restricted stock (Performance Shares) or units having a dollar value. Performance Shares may, in the committee’s discretion, be intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

If the Committee intends for a performance award to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, payment will be contingent upon the achievement of one or more performance goals, as certified by the committee. Such performance goals will be based on one or more of the following performance measures:

 

(a)

Net earnings or net income (before or after taxes);

 

(b)

Earnings per share;

 

(c)

Net sales or revenue growth;

 

(d)

Net operating profit;

 

(e)

Return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, invested capital, equity, sales, or revenue);

 

(f)

Cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on equity, and cash flow return on investment);

 

(g)

Earnings before or after taxes, interest, depreciation, and/or amortization;

 

(h)

Gross or operating margins;

 

(i)

Productivity ratios;

 

(j)

Share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total stockholder return);

 

(k)

Expense targets;

 

(l)

Margins;

 

(m)

Operating efficiency;

 

(n)

Market share;

 

(o)

Customer satisfaction;

 

(p)

Working capital targets; and

 

(q)

Economic value added (net operating profit after tax minus the sum of capital multiplied by the cost of capital); and

 

(r)

Product development or product introduction targets

Any performance measure(s) may be used to measure the performance of the company and/or an affiliate as a whole or any business unit of the Company and/or affiliate or any combination thereof, as the committee may deem

Table of Contents

appropriate, or any of the above performance measures as compared to the performance of a group of comparable companies, or published or special index that the committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or the company may select performance measure (j) above as compared to various stock market indices.

Other Stock Awards.  Under the plan, other stock-based awards may be granted, subject to limitations under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, shares of common stock, as deemed consistent with the purposes of the plan.

Award Limitation.  No participant may be granted awards for more than 2,750,000 shares in any calendar year, and no participant may be granted options and stock appreciation rights for more than 2,750,000 shares in any calendar year.

Withholding Taxes

Upon the exercise of any award granted under the plan, the holder may be required to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to delivery of any certificate or certificates for shares of common stock.

Amendments

Subject to the approval of the Board, where required, the committee may at any time, and from time to time, amend the plan, provided that no amendment will be made that would impair the rights of a holder under any agreement entered into pursuant to the plan without the holder’s consent (except to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code). In addition, the committee may not increase the shares available under the plan, increase the individual limits on awards, allow for an exercise price below fair market value, permit the repricing of options or stock appreciation rights, or adopt any other amendment that would require stockholder approval.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The material U.S. federal income tax consequences of awards under the plan, based on the current provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder, with respect to employees who are subject to U.S. income tax are as follows:

The grant of an option to an employee will have no tax consequences to the employee or to the company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. In general, upon the exercise of an incentive stock option (“ISO”), the employee will not recognize income, and the employer will not be entitled to a tax deduction. However, the excess of the acquired shares’ fair market value on the exercise date over the exercise price is included in the employee’s income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. When an employee disposes of ISO shares, the difference between the exercise price and the amount realized by the employee will, in general, constitute capital gain or loss, as the case may be. However, if the employee fails to hold the ISO shares for more than one year after exercising the ISO and for more than two years after the grant of the ISO, (i) the portion of any gain realized by the employee upon the disposition of the shares that does not exceed the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date over the exercise price generally will be treated as ordinary income, (ii) the balance of any gain or any loss will be treated as a capital gain or loss, and (iii) the employer generally will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the employee. If an employee exercises an ISO more than three months after his termination of employment with the company and any subsidiary in which the company owns at least 50% of the voting power (or one year after his termination of employment if the reason for the termination is disability), the option will be treated for tax purposes as a non-qualified stock option, as described below.

In general, upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the employee will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the acquired shares’ fair market value on the exercise date over the exercise price, and the employer generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount.

 

79

---

Table of Contents

With respect to other awards that are settled either in cash or in shares that are transferable or are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the employee will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of (a) the cash or the fair market value of any shares received (determined as of the date of settlement) over (b) the amount, if any, paid for the shares by the employee, and the employer generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount.

In the case of an award to an employee that is settled in shares that are nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the employee generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the date on which the shares become transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, whichever occurs first) over (b) the amount, if any, paid for the shares by the employee, and the employer generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount.

An employee whose shares are both nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize income when the shares are received, rather than upon the expiration of the transfer A participant may make a Section 83(b) election, within 30 days of the transfer of the restricted stock. If a participant makes an election and thereafter forfeits the shares, no ordinary loss deduction will be allowed. The forfeiture will be treated as a sale or exchange upon which there is realized loss equal to the excess, if any, of the consideration paid for the shares over the amount realized on such forfeiture. The loss will be a capital loss if the shares are capital assets. If a participant makes an election under Section 83(b), the holding period will commence on the day after the date of transfer and the tax basis will equal the fair market value of shares, as determined without regard to the restrictions, on the date of transfer.

New Plan Benefits

The selection of employees to receive awards under the plan (other than substitute options, as described below) will be determined by the committee in its discretion. Therefore, the actual value of benefits under the plan that will be received by any individual or group is not determinable. On April 7, 2009, the closing price of Victory common stock on the NYSE Amex was $9.90 per share.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Common Stock, present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, is required to approve the plan.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, approval of the stock plan proposal is a condition to the consummation of the merger. If the merger proposal, charter amendment proposals and director election proposal are not approved, the stock plan proposal will not be presented at the meeting. If the stock plan proposal is not approved, the merger will not be consummated even if the merger proposal is approved and the holders of fewer than 20% of the Public Shares vote against the merger proposal and properly demand that their Public Shares be converted into cash.

VICTORY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT VICTORY’S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE STOCK PLAN PROPOSAL.

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The adjournment proposal, if adopted, will allow Victory’s board of directors to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the consummation of the merger. In no event will Victory adjourn the special meeting or consummate the merger beyond the date by which it may properly do so under its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law. It is possible for Victory to obtain sufficient votes to approve the adjournment proposal but not receive sufficient votes to approve the merger proposal. In such a situation, Victory could adjourn the meeting for any number of days or hours until the close of business on April 24, 2009 and attempt to solicit additional votes in favor of the merger proposal. Accordingly, the adjournment proposal could provide more time for the Victory Founders, TouchTunes and the current holders of common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes to make purchases of Public Shares or other arrangements in such case that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on the merger proposal and to meet the requirement that the holders of fewer than 20% of the Public Shares vote against the merger proposal and demand that their Public Shares be converted into cash (although no such purchases will be made by Victory itself). See the section entitled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Interests of Victory’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Merger.”

In addition to an adjournment of the special meeting upon approval of an adjournment proposal, the board of directors of Victory is empowered under Delaware law to postpone the meeting at any time prior to the meeting being called to order. In such event, Victory will issue a press release and take such other steps as it believes are necessary and practical in the circumstances to inform its stockholders of the postponement.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the adjournment proposal is not approved by the stockholders, Victory’s board of directors may not be able to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the consummation of the merger (because the merger proposal is not approved or because the holders of 20% or more of the Public Shares vote against the merger proposal and demand conversion of their Public Shares into cash). In such event, the merger would not be completed and, unless Victory were able to consummate a business combination with another party no later than April 24, 2009, it would be required to liquidate.

Required Vote

Adoption of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Victory’s common stock represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Adoption of the adjournment proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

VICTORY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT VICTORY’S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

At the special meeting, six directors will be elected to Victory’s board of directors, conditioned on consummation of the merger, of whom two will serve until the special meeting to be held in 2010, one will serve until the special meeting to be held in 2011 and three will serve until the annual meeting to be held in 2012 and, in each case, until their successors are elected and qualified.

Upon consummation of the merger, if management’s nominees are elected, the directors of Victory will be classified as follows:

 

•

Class A Directors: Jonathan J. Ledecky and Edward J. Mathias;

 

•

Class B Director: David S. Carlick; and

 

•

Class C Directors: William J. Meder, Patrick Gallagher and Joel A. Katz.

Certain of the founders of Victory and certain stockholders of TouchTunes will enter into a voting agreement at the time of closing of the merger that will provide that they will vote their shares of Victory common stock in favor of the election of four nominees of VantagePoint in classes B and C (two in each of Class B and Class C) in all elections through the annual meeting that will be held in 2012 (or earlier if VantagePoint owns less than 50% of the shares held by it upon closing of the merger). A copy of the form of voting agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex G.

If all of the directors that are nominated for election in this proxy statement/prospectus are elected, there will be one vacant board seat for a Class B director on its board of directors. Under the terms of the Voting Agreement, VantagePoint has the right to nominate an additional Class B director to the Board to fill this vacancy.

The election of directors requires a plurality vote of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast “FOR” are elected as directors. Consequently, any shares not voted “FOR” a particular nominee (whether as a result of abstentions, a direction to withhold authority or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in the nominee’s favor.

Unless authority is withheld, the proxies solicited by the board of directors will be voted “FOR” the election of these nominees. In case any of the nominees becomes unavailable for election to the board of directors, an event that is not anticipated, the persons named as proxies, or their substitutes, will have full discretion and authority to vote or refrain from voting for any other candidate in accordance with their judgment.

If the merger is not authorized by the approval of both the merger proposal and the charter amendment proposals and the proper election by the holders of fewer than 20% of the Public Shares to convert their Public Shares into cash, the director election proposal will not be submitted to the stockholders for a vote and Victory’s current directors will continue in office until Victory is required to be liquidated.

Independence of Directors

As a result of its securities being listed on the NYSE Amex, Victory adheres to the rules of that exchange in determining whether a director is independent. Upon the consummation of the merger, it is anticipated that Victory’s securities will be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. As a result, the board of directors of Victory will consult with its counsel to ensure that the board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors. The Nasdaq Stock Market requires that a majority of the board must be composed of “independent directors,” which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Consistent with these considerations, the board of directors of Victory has affirmatively determined that, upon the closing of the merger, David Carlick, Patrick Gallagher, Edward J. Mathias and Joel A. Katz will be the independent directors of Victory.

Audit Committee Information

Effective April 2007, Victory established an audit committee of the board of directors, which consists of Edward J. Mathias, as chairman, Jay H. Nussbaum and Edward J. Mathias, each of whom is an independent director under the NYSE Amex listing standards. The audit committee met three times in 2007 and four times in 2008. Upon the consummation of the merger, the members of Victory’s audit committee will be Messrs. Carlick, Gallagher and Mathias, with Mr. Mathias serving as chairman. Each is an independent director under the NYSE Amex and Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards. The audit committee’s duties, which are specified in Victory’s Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

 

•

reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in Victory’s Annual Report;

 

•

discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of Victory’s financial statements;

 

•

discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;

 

•

monitoring the independence of the independent auditor;

 

•

verifying the rotation of the audit partners having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

 

•

reviewing and approving all related-party transactions;

 

•

inquiring and discussing with management TouchTunes’ compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

Table of Contents

•

pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by Victory’s independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

 

•

appointing or replacing the independent auditor;

 

•

determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work; and

 

•

establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by Victory regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding Victory’s financial statements or accounting policies.

Financial Experts on Audit Committee

The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards. The Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.

In addition, a listed company must certify to the Nasdaq Stock Market that the committee will have at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication. The board of directors of Victory has determined that Mr. Mathias satisfies the definition of financial sophistication and also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Independent Auditors’ Fees

The firm of Marcum & Kliegman LLP (“Marcum”) acts as Victory’s independent registered public accounting firm. The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to Marcum for services rendered.

Audit Fees

During the year ended December 31, 2008, fees for Victory’s registered public accounting firm were $85,000 for the services they performed in connection with its Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and for the three Quarterly Reports for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008.

During the period from January 12, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007, fees for Victory’s independent registered public accounting firm were $125,000 for the services they performed in connection with Victory’s IPO, including the financial statements included in the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2007.

In addition, in accordance with Section 10A(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, before Victory engages its independent accountant to render audit or non-audit services on a going-forward basis, the engagement will be approved by its audit committee.

Code of Ethics

A copy of Victory’s code of ethics may be obtained free of charge by submitting a request in writing to Victory Acquisition Corp., 970 West Broadway, PMB 402, Jackson, Wyoming 83001.

Compensation Committee Information

Upon consummation of the merger, the board of directors of Victory will establish a compensation committee with Messrs. Carlick, Gallagher and Katz as its members, with Mr. Carlick serving as chairman. Each will be an independent director under Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards. The purpose of the compensation committee will be to review and approve compensation paid to Victory’s officers and directors and to administer Victory’s incentive compensation plans, including the 2009 long-term incentive equity plan and any other plans that may be adopted in the future, including authority to make and modify awards under such plans.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the persons designated as directors of Victory currently serves on the compensation committee of any other company on which any other director designee of Victory or any officer or director of Victory or TouchTunes is currently a member.

Nominating Committee Information

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

Victory’s Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on Victory’s board of directors. The Nominating Committee considers persons identified by its stockholders, management, stockholders, investment bankers and others. The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the Nominating Committee charter, provide that, generally, persons to be nominated should be actively engaged in business, have an understanding of financial statements, corporate budgeting and capital structure, be familiar with the requirements of a publicly traded company, be familiar with industries relevant to the Victory business, be willing to devote significant time to the oversight duties of the board of directors of a public company, and be able to promote a diversity of views based on the person’s education, experience and professional employment. The Nominating Committee will evaluate each individual in the context of the board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of persons that can best implement Victory’s business plan, perpetuate its business and represent stockholder interests. The Nominating Committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time. The Nominating Committee will not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.

Specifically, the guidelines for selecting nominees provide that the Nominating Committee will consider and evaluate based on, among other factors, the following:

 

•

The candidate’s independence under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market;

 

•

The candidate’s accomplishments and reputations, both personal and professional;

 

•

The candidate’s relevant experience and expertise;

 

•

The candidate’s knowledge of the company and issues affecting Victory;

 

•

The candidate’s moral and ethical character; and

 

•

The candidate’s ability to commit the required time necessary to discharge the duties of board membership.

Communication with the Board of Directors

After consummation of the merger, stockholders and other interested parties may send written communications directly to the Board of Directors or to specified individual directors, including the Chairman or any non-management directors, by sending such communications to the company’s corporate headquarters. Such communications will be reviewed by our legal department and, depending on the content, will be:

 

•

forwarded to the addressees or distributed at the next scheduled Board meeting;

 

•

if they relate to financial or accounting matters, forwarded to the Audit Committee or distributed at the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting;

 

•

if they relate to executive officer compensation matters, forwarded to the Compensation Committee or discussed at the next scheduled Compensation Committee meeting;

 

•

if they relate to the recommendation of the nomination of an individual, forwarded to the Nominating Committee or discussed at the next scheduled Nominating Committee meeting; or

 

•

if they relate to the operations of the company, forwarded to the appropriate officers of the company, and the response or other handling of such communications reported to the Board of Directors at the next scheduled Board meeting.

Compensation of Officers and Directors

No compensation of any kind, including finders and consulting fees, has been or will be paid to any of Victory’s officers or their affiliates for services rendered through the closing of the merger. However, Victory’s

 

89

Table of Contents

executive officers, directors and initial stockholders are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on Victory’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. As of December 31, 2008, an aggregate of approximately $679,777 has been reimbursed to them for such expenses. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than Victory’s board of directors and audit committee, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged.

The policies of Victory with respect to the compensation of its executive officers and following the merger will be administered by Victory’s board in consultation with its compensation committee (as described above). The compensation policies followed by Victory will be intended to provide for compensation that is sufficient to attract, motivate and retain executives of outstanding ability and potential and to establish an appropriate relationship between executive compensation and the creation of stockholder value. To meet these goals, the compensation committee will be charged with recommending executive compensation packages to Victory’s board of directors.

It is anticipated that performance-based and equity-based compensation will be an important foundation in executive compensation packages as Victory and TouchTunes believe it is important to maintain a strong link between executive incentives and the creation of stockholder value. Victory and TouchTunes believe that performance and equity-based compensation can be an important component of the total executive compensation package for maximizing stockholder value while, at the same time, attracting, motivating and retaining high-quality executives. Since Victory will not have a compensation committee until completion of the merger, it has not yet adopted any formal guidelines for allocating total compensation between equity compensation and cash compensation for executives hired in the future.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following constitutes the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of TouchTunes’ executive compensation program prior to the transactions contemplated by the merger.

Named Executive Officers .

TouchTunes’ chief executive officer, chief financial officer and 4 other most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2008 were:

 

•

William J. Meder, Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

 

•

Philip Livingston, Chief Financial Officer

 

•

Ronald Greenberg, Chief Marketing Officer and Vice President, Digital Media

 

•

Daniel McAllister, Senior Vice President, Sales

 

•

Michael Tooker, Senior Vice President, Technology and Operations

 

•

Robert Weinschenk, Senior Vice President, Barfly Division

Arthur Matin served as president and chief executive officer of TouchTunes until August 2008. William Meder has served as President and Chief Executive Officer since September 2008 when he accepted the position of acting President and Chief Executive Officer on a transitional basis. Throughout this section, these executive officers are referred to as the “named executive officers.”

Overview of TouchTunes’ Compensation Program as a Private Company

Prior to the closing of the merger, TouchTunes has been a privately held company, operating under the direction of its chief executive officer and its board of directors. Historically, TouchTunes has generally not used, and has not had the need to use, many of the more formal compensation practices and policies employed by publicly traded companies subject to the executive compensation disclosure rules of the SEC and Section 162(m) of the Code.

Table of Contents

Role of the Chief Executive Officer . Prior to the merger, all compensation decisions have been recommended by TouchTunes’ chief executive officer for the review and approval of the compensation committee of TouchTunes’ board of directors (the “Committee”), with the exception of the compensation of the chief executive officer, which has been determined by the Committee with input from the chief executive officer.

Objectives of TouchTunes’ Compensation Program.

TouchTunes’ executive compensation program is designed to achieve the following three primary objectives:

 

•

to provide a competitive compensation package to attract and retain talented individuals to manage and operate all aspects of its business;

 

•

to reward the achievement of corporate and individual objectives that promote the growth and profitability of TouchTunes’ business; and

 

•

to align the interests of executive officers with those of TouchTunes’ stockholders by providing long-term equity-based compensation.

To meet these objectives, TouchTunes’ executive compensation package has generally consisted of a mix of base salary, performance-based annual cash bonuses, standard employee benefits and long-term incentives in the form of equity-based awards. TouchTunes believes that performance-based compensation is an important component of the total executive compensation package for attracting, motivating and retaining high quality executives. Accordingly, a significant portion of the named executive officers’ compensation is in the form of cash compensation that is subject to the achievement of annual performance goals and equity-based compensation which enables the named executive officers to share in the growth of TouchTunes’ above pre-established threshold amounts.

Elements of Compensation of Executive Officers.

The compensation received by TouchTunes’ named executive officers in 2008 consisted of the following elements:

Base Salary

Base salaries for TouchTunes’ executive officers are established based on the scope of their responsibilities, historical performance and individual experience. Base salaries are reviewed annually, and adjusted from time to time. During 2008, Mr. Matin’s base salary was $244,246, Mr. Livingston’s base salary was $285,577, Mr. Greenberg’s base salary was $285,577, Mr. McAllister’s base salary was $215,000, Mr. Tooker’s base salary was CAD$222,000, and Mr. Weinschenk’s base salary was $275,000. Mr. Meder was not a TouchTunes employee in 2008, however he was paid a total of $124,162 on a consulting basis for his services as acting President and Chief Executive Officer.

Annual Bonus

Bonus compensation at TouchTunes is designed to motivate performance and to advance the interests of TouchTunes by linking a portion of annual compensation to the achievement of financial objectives and key performance indicators, while contributing to increased long-term stockholder value. Bonus opportunities exist for performance at a semi-annual and annual target levels of EBITDA. No bonus opportunity exists for performance at or below the target level. EBITDA target levels are determined by the Committee and set at a level that is achievable only if TouchTunes’ financial performance exceeds it, performance in the prior year.

Equity-Based Incentive Compensation.

TouchTunes also makes equity incentive awards to its employees, non-employee directors and employees of TouchTunes’ subsidiaries to promote the interests of TouchTunes and its stockholders. These awards are designed to promote these interests by providing such individuals with a proprietary interest in pursuing the

Table of Contents

long-term growth, profitability and financial success of TouchTunes. During 2008, these equity incentive awards consisted of stock options. These options vest according to schedules established at grant, conditioned on continued employment with TouchTunes, with vesting upon certain events, including upon a change of control that is followed by a termination without cause within 12 months of such change in control. TouchTunes believes stock options align the interests of TouchTunes’ employees with those of TouchTunes’ stockholders, because the stock options have value only if the value of TouchTunes’ stock increases after the date of grant.

Severance Benefits.   In connection with his commencement of employment, each of the named executive officers individually negotiated the severance provisions set forth in their respective employment agreements or employment letter agreements that are applicable under various termination scenarios including termination without cause, termination for good reason (or constructive discharge) and termination in connection with a change in control.

Other Benefits.   TouchTunes provides named executive officers with premium-paid health, hospitalization, short and long term disability, dental, life and other insurance as TouchTunes may have in effect from time to time. A named executive officer is entitled to reimbursement for all business travel and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in the performance of his services. Each named executive officer also is entitled to participate in all other company-wide benefit plans (non-contributory 401(k) plans), as they may be made available and to receive four weeks of paid vacation per calendar year. TouchTunes does not currently, and has not previously, made available to any employees any defined benefit pension or nonqualified deferred compensation plan or arrangement.

Ronald Greenberg, who will serve as Chief Marketing Officer & Senior Vice President, Digital Media, Daniel McAllister, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Sales, Geoff Mott, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, Michael Tooker, who will serve a Senior Vice President, Technology and Operations, and Robert Weinschenk, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Barfly Division. Mr. Meder’s position as Chief Executive Officer is transitional; TouchTunes is actively searching for a new Chief Executive Officer. Each of these persons has entered or will enter into an employment agreement with TouchTunes that will be assumed by Victory as a result of the merger, or in the case of new employment agreements, effective upon the merger.

TouchTunes’ Executive Compensation Program After Consummation of the Merger

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Upon consummation of the merger, TouchTunes will seek to provide total compensation packages that are competitive in terms of potential value to its executives, and that are tailored to the unique characteristics and needs of TouchTunes within its industry in order to create an executive compensation program that will adequately reward its executives for their roles in creating value for TouchTunes stockholders. TouchTunes intends to be competitive with other similarly situated companies in its industry following completion of the merger.

With the exception of the terms reflected in the employment agreements discussed in the following section, the compensation decisions regarding TouchTunes’ executives have not been made. Other than with respect to the new employment agreement to be entered into with Geoff Mott, effective upon the merger, TouchTunes does not currently contemplate any material increase in the overall compensation of its executive officers following the merger. It is expected, however, that decisions regarding compensation will be based on TouchTunes’ need to attract individuals with the skills necessary for TouchTunes to achieve its business plan, to reward those individuals fairly over time, and to retain those individuals who continue to perform at or above TouchTunes’ expectations.

It is anticipated that TouchTunes’ executive compensation program will have the same three primary components as its executive compensation program prior to the merger — salary, cash bonuses and stock-based awards. TouchTunes will view the three components of executive compensation as related but distinct. TouchTunes anticipates determining the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on its view of internal equity and consistency, individual performance, experience of the individual executive and other information deemed relevant and timely. Since TouchTunes’ compensation committee will not be formed until consummation of the merger, it has not adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of compensation.

In addition to the guidance provided by its compensation committee, TouchTunes may utilize the services of third parties from time to time in connection with the hiring and compensation awarded to executive employees. This could include the retention of compensation consultants and subscriptions to executive compensation surveys and other databases.

TouchTunes’ compensation committee will be charged with performing an annual review of TouchTunes’ executive officers’ cash and equity compensation to determine whether they provide appropriate incentives and motivation to executive officers and whether they adequately compensate the executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies. As part of this process, TouchTunes expects that the compensation committee will determine the appropriate allocation of compensation between cash and equity compensation, severance compensation, and other benefits.

Employment Agreements

OTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO VICTORY

Business of Victory

Victory was formed on January 12, 2007 to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in any industry other than the franchising, financial services or healthcare industries. Prior to executing the merger agreement with TouchTunes, Victory’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its IPO and the evaluation of possible business combinations.

Offering Proceeds Held in Trust

On April 30, 2007, Victory consummated its IPO of 33,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 units which were subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The net proceeds of the offering, including proceeds from the over-allotment option and from the private sale of 5,000,000 Sponsors’ Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, were $321,661,329. Of that amount, $321,660,000 was deposited into the trust account and invested in government securities. The remaining proceeds have been used by Victory in its pursuit of a business combination. In addition, Victory was entitled to draw for use of working capital up to $3,000,000 of interest earned on the trust account, as well as any amounts necessary to pay its tax obligations. Through December 31, 2008, Victory had drawn from the trust account $1,740,750 for working capital and $1,156,555 for taxes and can draw up to an additional $1,259,250 for working capital and any future tax payments. Except as set forth above, no funds in the trust account have been released and only the remaining interest income that Victory may use for working capital requirements and amounts necessary for its tax obligations will be released until the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the liquidation of Victory. The trust account contained $330,144,884 as of December 31, 2008.

Victory intends to use funds held in the trust account to pay certain transaction expenses and deferred underwriters compensation. The balance of the funds will be released to Victory after the closing of the merger to pay stockholders who properly exercise their conversion rights and for working capital and general corporate purposes (including any future tax obligations).

The holders of Public Shares will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of Victory’s liquidation or if they seek to convert their shares into cash and the merger is actually completed. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement for Victory’s IPO, the initial target business that Victory acquires must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the trust account balance (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) at the time of such business combination. Victory’s board of directors determined that this test was met in connection with its business combination with TouchTunes.

Stockholder Approval of Business Combination

Victory will proceed with the merger only if a majority of the Public Shares present and entitled to vote on the merger proposal at the special meeting is voted in favor of the merger proposal. The Victory Founders have agreed to vote their common stock issued prior to the IPO on the merger proposal in accordance with the vote of holders of a majority of the Public Shares present (in person or represented by proxy) and entitled to vote at the special meeting. If the holders of 20% or more of the Public Shares vote against the merger proposal and properly demand that Victory convert their Public Shares into their pro rata share of the trust account, Victory will not consummate the merger. In this case, Victory will be forced to liquidate.

Table of Contents

Liquidation if No Business Combination

Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the automatic termination of Victory’s corporate existence and mandatory liquidation of Victory if Victory does not consummate a business combination by April 24, 2009. The amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that if Victory has not completed a business combination by such date, its corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up its affairs liquidating, pursuant to Section 278 of the DGCL. This has the same effect as if Victory’s board of directors and stockholders had formally voted to approve Victory’s dissolution pursuant to Section 275 of the DGCL. Accordingly, limiting Victory’s corporate existence to a specified date as permitted by Section 102(b)(5) of the DGCL removes the necessity to comply with the formal procedures set forth in Section 275 (which would have required Victory’s board of directors and stockholders to formally vote to approve its dissolution and liquidation and to have filed a certificate of dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of State).

Victory anticipates notifying the trustee of the trust account within 10 business days to begin liquidating such assets promptly after such date and anticipates it will take no more than 10 business days to effectuate such distribution. If there are no funds remaining to pay the costs associated with the implementation and completion of the liquidation and distribution, Eric J. Watson and Jonathan J. Ledecky have agreed to advance Victory the funds necessary to pay such costs and complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $15,000) and not to seek repayment for such expenses.

In connection with its liquidation, Victory will distribute to the holders of its Public Shares, in proportion to their respective amounts of Public Shares, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust account, inclusive of any interest thereon, plus remaining net assets (subject to Victory’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors as described below). The Victory Founders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their Founders’ Common Stock. As a consequence of such waivers, a liquidating distribution will be made only with respect to the Public Shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to Victory’s warrants, which will expire worthless.

The per-share liquidation price for the Public Shares as of April 7, 2009, the record date for Victory’s special meeting, is approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of Victory’s creditors (which could be prior to the claims of the holders of the Public Shares and could include vendors and service providers Victory has engaged to assist it in connection with its search for a target business and that are owed money by it, as well as target businesses themselves) and there is no assurance that the actual per-share liquidation price will not be less than $10.00, due to those claims. If Victory liquidates prior to the consummation of a business combination, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky have agreed that they will be personally liable to pay debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by Victory for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Victory in excess of the net proceeds of Victory’s IPO not held in the trust account, but only if such a target business or vendor or other entity did not execute such a waiver. Accordingly, if a claim brought by a target business or vendor or other entity did not exceed the amount of funds available to Victory outside of the trust account or available to be released to Victory from interest earned on the trust account balance or if such an entity executed a waiver, Messrs. Watson and Ledecky would not have any personal obligation to indemnify such claims as they would be paid from such available funds. However, if a claim exceeded such amounts and such entity did not execute a waiver, there is no exception to the obligations of Messrs. Watson and Ledecky to pay such claim. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, vendors that have not executed a waiver are owed an aggregate of approximately $116,000, which amount will be repaid from funds held outside of the trust account. There is no assurance, however, that they would be able to satisfy those obligations. Accordingly, Victory cannot assure you that the per-share distribution from the trust account, if Victory liquidates, will not be less than $10.00, plus interest, due to claims of creditors.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set

 

98

Table of Contents

forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, as stated above, it is Victory’s intention to make liquidating distributions to its stockholders as soon as reasonably possible after April 24, 2009 and, therefore, Victory does not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, Victory’s stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them and any liability of Victory’s stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date. Because Victory will not be complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires Victory s to adopt a plan that will provide for payment, based on facts known to it at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against it within the subsequent 10 years. Accordingly, Victory would be required to provide for any claims of creditors known to it at that time or those that it believes could be potentially brought against it within the subsequent 10 years prior to it distributing the funds in the trust account to its public stockholders. However, because Victory is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and its operations have been limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from potential target businesses, many of whom have given Victory agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, or Victory’s vendors (such as accountants, lawyers, investment bankers, etc.). As a result, the claims that could be made against Victory are significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim that would result in any liability extending to the trust is remote. Nevertheless, such agreements may not be enforceable. Accordingly, Victory cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from Victory’s stockholders amounts owed to them by Victory.

Additionally, if Victory is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Victory’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Victory’s stockholders. Also, in any such case, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by Victory’s stockholders. Furthermore, because, in the event of a liquidation, Victory intends to distribute the proceeds held in the trust account to its public stockholders promptly after April 24, 2009, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to Victory’s public stockholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from Victory’s assets. In addition, Victory’s board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Victory’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and Victory to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors and/or complying with certain provisions of the DGCL with respect to Victory’s liquidation. Victory cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons. To the extent any bankruptcy or other claims deplete the trust account, Victory cannot assure you it will be able to return to its public stockholders at least $9.99 per share.

Facilities

Victory maintains executive offices at 970 West Broadway, PMB 402, Jackson, Wyoming 83001. Jonathan J. Ledecky is providing this space to Victory at no charge.

Employees

Victory has two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week and devote only as much time as they deem necessary to Victory’s affairs. Victory does not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of the merger.

Eric J. Watson has been Victory’s chairman of the board and treasurer since its inception. From July 2005 until December 2007, Mr. Watson served as the chairman of the board and treasurer of Endeavor Acquisition Corp., an NYSE Amex listed blank check company formed to acquire an operating business. Endeavor Acquisition Corp. consummated its business combination with American Apparel Inc. and its subsidiaries on December 12, 2007. Mr. Watson has also been the chairman of the board and treasurer of Triplecrown Acquisition Corp., a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in the financial services industry. Since January 1995, Mr. Watson has been the executive chairman of, and interests associated with him own, Cullen Investments Limited, an international private investment company which has its origins in a start up founded by Mr. Watson through which he has actively invested his own capital in a range of successful mergers and acquisitions. Mr. Watson and his associated interests have a substantial portfolio comprising interests in the fashion retail, financial services, real estate, infrastructure maintenance, sports and entertainment sectors. Cullen Investments interests include ownership of Bendon, an international manufacturer and retailer of women’s lingerie whose prestige brands include the licensed Elle Macpherson Intimates and Stella McCartney labels. Another major investment held by interests associated with Mr. Watson is a 50% ownership of the Hanover Group, one of the largest privately owned financial services business in New Zealand with operations extending to the United States and Australia. In 1998, Logan Corporation, an entity owned by Cullen Investments, invested in publicly listed Wall Group (formerly Pacific Retail Group or “PRG”). PRG was listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange until 2006, and operated several consumer focused companies. These included Noel Leeming Group, a New Zealand specialty appliance retail chain, Pacific Retail Finance Limited, a New Zealand consumer finance business, and Bendon. PRG acquired PRG PowerHouse Limited (“PowerHouse”), a specialty appliance retail chain in the United Kingdom in September 2003, at which time Logan Corporation was a majority stockholder in publicly listed PRG. Mr. Watson was then and remains a director of PRG, but has not at any time been an executive officer of PRG. In August 2006, PowerHouse, as a result of adverse market conditions and increasing losses, was placed in administration under United Kingdom law, a process similar to a United States bankruptcy proceeding. The administrator determined that the best course of action with respect to PowerHouse was to close its stores and realize the assets for the benefit of its creditors. Subsequently, at the end of April 2007, PowerHouse was placed into liquidation by the administrator. In addition, PRG had provided guarantees in respect of certain debts owed by PowerHouse to its creditors. Due to an unforeseen material deterioration in the outcome of the Powerhouse administration, PRG is no longer in a position to satisfy, in full, the claims of its creditors. Accordingly, PRG’s creditors approved a compromise with PRG in September 2007 in respect of their debts. PRG was privatized by Logan Corporation in 2006. Prior to founding Cullen Investments, Mr. Watson was the founding chairman and largest stockholder of Blue Star Group, a retail and distribution group he founded in January 1992. In 1996, Blue Star Group was sold to U.S. Office Products, a diversified supplier of a broad range of office products and business services to corporate customers. Until August 1999, Mr. Watson continued as executive chairman of Blue Star Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Office Products after the acquisition. Following the acquisition of Blue Star Group by U.S. Office Products, Mr. Watson served as a director of

McCollam Printers from July 1997 to June 1998. Prior to serving with U.S. Office Products, Mr. Watson held

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Victory’s financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Victory is a blank check company formed on January 12, 2007 to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in any industry other than the franchising, financial services or healthcare industries.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, Victory had a net income of $3,050,939 consisting of $4,907,372 of dividend and interest income offset by $1,515,347 of formation and operating costs and $341,086 of provisions for income tax.

For the period from January 12, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2007, Victory had a net income of $6,468,977 consisting of $7,558,794 of dividend and interest income offset by $748,262 of formation and operating costs and $341,555 of provisions for income tax.

Victory consummated its initial public offering of 33,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 units subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, on April 30, 2007. Gross proceeds from the initial public offering were

$330,000,000. As of December 31, 2008, Victory paid a total of $12,540,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $798,671 for other costs and expenses related to the offering and the over-allotment option.

After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, $321,660,000 including the proceeds from the sale of sponsors’ warrants was deposited into the trust account which includes $10,560,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions.

As of December 31, 2008, Victory’s trust account totaled $330,144,884. Upon consummation of the merger, approximately $10,560,000 of such funds will be used to pay deferred underwriting discounts and commissions to the underwriters in Victory’s IPO, approximately $5,000,000 of such funds will be used to repay certain outstanding subordinated debt of TouchTunes and approximately $5,000,000 of such funds will be used to pay transaction expenses incurred in connection with the merger.

As of December 31, 2008, Victory had working capital of $1,061,361. From the date of consummation of the IPO, until such time as Victory effectuates a business combination, Victory may draw for use of working capital up to $3,000,000 of interest earned on the trust account, as well as any amounts necessary to pay its tax obligations. Victory has drawn from the trust account $1,740,750 for working capital and may draw up to an additional $1,259,250 for working capital. Victory has also drawn from the trust account $1,156,555 to pay tax obligations.

Victory had an agreement with an affiliate of one of its executive officers for various office and administrative services for $7,000 per month. The agreement commenced on April 24, 2007, the effective date of the initial public offering, and was terminated by Victory as of July 1, 2007. Victory subsequently paid rent expense to unaffiliated parties from July 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007 as needed. From January 12, 2007 (inception) through July 1, 2007, Victory paid rent expense of $12,500 to this affiliate related to this agreement.

In addition, in January 2007, Messrs. Ledecky and Watson advanced an aggregate of $175,000 to Victory for payment on its behalf of offering expenses in connection with the IPO. These loans were repaid following the IPO from the proceeds of the offering.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Victory does not have any obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303 (a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Victory does not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

Victory has not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or acquired any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

Victory does not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

Victory’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in its condensed financial statements. However certain accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal of financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgments by management. In applying those policies, management used its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in determination of certain estimates. Victory’s accounting policy will be to use estimates based on its historical experience, terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry and information available from outside sources, as appropriate.

BUSINESS OF TOUCHTUNES

Business Overview

TouchTunes develops, manufactures and sells interactive digital entertainment systems, principally digital jukebox systems, that are designed to provide innovative digital entertainment content and targeted advertising services to a currently active network of approximately 38,000 out-of-home locations, such as bars, restaurants, retailers and other businesses, in North America. In addition, TouchTunes has recently begun to offer a wireless portable digital entertainment systems and digital advertising. TouchTunes’ digital jukebox and other digital entertainment systems and services are provided, under a recurring revenue model, through long-term agreements with the company’s distribution channel of more than 2,800 operators and, more recently, through direct sales to national and regional chains, primarily restaurants. TouchTunes’ wholly-owned subsidiary, TouchTunes Music, introduced the world’s first digital-downloading, pay-per-play commercial jukebox in 1998 and now operates what it believes to be one of the largest out-of-home interactive entertainment networks throughout the United States. Since mid-2007, TouchTunes has expanded its entertainment network offering, through acquisitions and product development, to include a wireless, portable entertainment system, an interactive advertising platform on the jukebox and an in-location television-based advertising and content solution primarily in bars.

Out-of-Home Digital Entertainment Industry

The out-of-home entertainment industry encompasses retail shopping malls, movie theaters, high tech theme parks, gaming and gambling establishments and other types of locations that provide entertainment. This industry, as a whole, is becoming increasingly digital and networked, from IMAX theaters to networked slot machines at casinos and pervasive digital signage at retail shopping malls. In tandem with these trends, the broadly-defined retail industry is also starting to deploy location-based entertainment systems and services. Bars and restaurants constitute a substantial segment of the out-of-home entertainment industry. A growing number of these establishments are beginning to adopt a variety of entertainment, promotional and advertising technologies to improve the consumer experience and enable advertisers to address more targeted audiences, defined by the establishment’s demographics.

TouchTunes is part of a multi-tier chain that serves the bar and restaurant segment of the out-of-home entertainment industry. System vendors, such as TouchTunes, design, build and deliver jukeboxes and other entertainment systems, operate the networks that manage these systems, and download and monitor usage of content such as music, video, games, and digital advertising and software updates, to the systems. These vendors sell or otherwise deploy their products principally through distributors, who in turn sell to operators, or alternatively they sell these systems directly to operators. Operators deploy the systems into their bar and restaurant customers, collect the revenue from each system in each location and share that revenue with the system vendors and, in most cases, with the location owner. The external systems on the network interface with internal vendor systems in order to determine amounts of payment for content-related royalties, measurement of advertising performance and other back-office processes.

According to a 2007 study by Handshake Marketing, an independent marketing firm, approximately 150,000 bar and bar-restaurant locations sell alcoholic beverage for consumption on premises in the United States. Conventional (mostly CD) jukeboxes, which represented a significant technological change in the industry when they were introduced in 1987, had been deployed in most of these establishments and by 1991, vinyl jukeboxes were no longer manufactured. TouchTunes believes, however, that approximately 40% of these jukeboxes have now been converted into or replaced by digital jukeboxes. TouchTunes estimates that approximately 10,000 new digital jukebox systems, industry-wide, were sold in the United States and Canada in 2008. There are approximately 4,000 operators who own these jukebox units. Annual gross coinage jukebox revenue in the industry amounts to approximately $500 million, of which, on average, approximately 80% is retained by operators, who share up to half of their revenues with the location owners.

In addition to the bar and bar/restaurant segment, out-of-home entertainment systems are deployed in some casual, family and quick-service restaurants. According to the 2007 Chain Restaurant Industry Review by GE Capital Solutions and a 2007 study by Handshake Marketing, there are approximately 190,000 casual/family and 285,000 quick-service restaurant outlets in the United States. Penetration of entertainment equipment into restaurant locations is limited, although according to the 2008 Chain Restaurant Industry Review by GE Capital Solutions, one of the key priorities for the industry is the application of new technology to improve the customer experience. Entertainment systems (mostly game and music) are also deployed in other types of out-of-home locations, such as entertainment centers and certain retail verticals (such as apparel stores).

TouchTunes believes that it was the first company to develop a networked digital jukebox that provides locations such as bars and restaurants with music services that are updated and refreshed on a regular basis over the network from a central server. More recently, TouchTunes has continued to innovate by (i) bringing to market PlayPorTT, which it believes is the first commercially-available broadband wireless entertainment product that brings fresh, frequently updated, content to patrons who wish to play games and access a jukebox remotely; and, (ii) acquiring Barfly, one of the first vendors to develop a system to offer intelligent, interactive, advertising and content on the bar or restaurant television screen. TouchTunes believes that consumers in the 21 to 34 age group are interested in more active forms of entertainment in out-of-home locations, involving interaction with their friends through systems that are connected to the Internet and the mobile data network.

TouchTunes believes that there is a significant opportunity for growth in the out-of-home advertising market for alcoholic beverages and certain other advertisers, particularly in bars. According to the Advertising Age 2007 Marketer Profiles Yearbook, the alcoholic beverage industry spent approximately $2.1 billion on measured advertising (television, radio, print and outdoor advertising) during 2006. TouchTunes believes, based in part on the foregoing study by Advertising Age, that unmeasured advertising (signage, displays, trinkets, promotions, etc.) is approximately equal to measured advertising. According to Advertising Age, approximately $5.4 billion was spent on advertising for movies, recorded video and music in 2006. In addition, according to the Motion Picture Association of America, an average of approximately $35 million was spent to market each major studio release in 2006. TouchTunes believes that alcoholic beverage and motion picture companies are both very attractive target advertising customers for companies offering advertising solutions in bars due to the demographic audience they seek to reach, particularly where it must be established that the audience is over the age of 21.

TouchTunes Competitive Strengths

TouchTunes believes that it has the following competitive strengths:

One of the largest out-of-home interactive entertainment networks in the United States

TouchTunes believes that its interactive touchscreen out-of-home entertainment system network is one of the largest in the United States. As of December 31, 2008, there were more than 36,500 bars and restaurants in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with active, networked, TouchTunes digital jukebox systems. These jukebox systems are in service in all 50 states, with no concentration in any specific region.

Large and diverse customer base

As of December 31, 2008, TouchTunes had agreements with over 2,800 operators for the license of music on TouchTunes’ jukeboxes and had distribution agreements with approximately 21 distributors. TouchTunes believes that its operator customer base represents at least 70% of all operators in the United States. Most of these customers have been customers of TouchTunes for at least three years.

Recurring revenue model

TouchTunes’ business model is a recurring revenue model based on usage fees for its music and other entertainment services delivered through its network of digital jukeboxes and, recently, with the introduction of PlayPorTT, through those systems as well. TouchTunes believes that its digital jukebox recurring service sources provide it with a strong operational and financial foundation.

TouchTunes’ digital entertainment systems reach a large and advertiser-desirable audience

According to a 2008 study by Arbitron, TouchTunes’ network audience consists primarily of active, social, 21 to 34 year-old adults, 56% of whom are male, with approximately half of the total audience holding college degrees or higher and having household incomes of over $60,000. TouchTunes believes that advertising on its digital entertainment systems targets these consumers in an environment where they are more receptive to absorbing and responding to brand messages. In 2008, there were approximately 360 million sessions between TouchTunes jukebox systems and consumers (typically groups of two to three friends interacting with the touchscreen), with each session lasting an average of six minutes.

TouchTunes Strategy

TouchTunes believes that the out-of-home interactive entertainment market provides an emerging market opportunity. Out-of-home interactive networks are increasingly attractive to advertisers who are seeking to expand their advertising options from traditional venues, such as television, radio and print publications into alternative media that reaches the consumer in a social setting and, for some categories of products, are closer to the point of purchase. TouchTunes is committed to maintaining this high-quality experience and to becoming the leading interactive out-of-home digital entertainment system in North America. TouchTunes’ key strategies to achieve this objective are as follows:

Reinforce leadership in bar segment

TouchTunes believes that the traditional jukebox market in bars and similar establishments continues to be an opportunity for growth, as more of these businesses shift to digital technology. TouchTunes will seek to increase its market penetration through innovation in digital jukebox systems to create an even larger market footprint for both its music service offerings and other products and services such as PlayPorTT and Barfly interactive systems.

Expand Barfly deployments to capitalize on leadership in bar segment

TouchTunes is seeking to leverage its existing operator and distribution relationships in the bar segment in order to deploy its Barfly systems in as many locations as possible where it has existing activated jukeboxes. TouchTunes believes that this will enhance its attractiveness to advertisers for two reasons. First, TouchTunes’ ability to attract advertisers will depend in large part on the breadth of its network and the demographics of its audience. In addition, by placing Barfly systems in locations where TouchTunes’ jukebox systems already exist, TouchTunes will be able to demonstrate the advantages of interoperability of the systems, which TouchTunes believes will enhance the digital entertainment experience for the bar’s customers.

Further expand to deploy an integrated suite of digital entertainment products

TouchTunes has designed its jukebox systems, PlayPorTT and Barfly systems to have the capability to act as an integrated product suite. TouchTunes will seek to use its recently expanded range of complementary products to (i) attract bars and restaurants that are seeking multiple avenues to address the interactive entertainment needs of their customers; (ii) appeal to operators who are able to deploy additional, revenue producing units in their bar and restaurant locations; and (iii) address the needs of key advertisers, such as alcoholic beverage companies, movie studios and mobile phone service providers. In addition, TouchTunes believes that the compatibility of these systems, such as using the PlayPorTT touch screen to access a jukebox across a restaurant or bar, may lead to an increase in the number of paid plays on its other systems in the same location. TouchTunes also believes that its ability to attract larger, multi-location customers, such as restaurant chains, is enhanced by having a broad and integrated suite of products. TouchTunes is currently developing software to allow its digital entertainment systems to interface with mobile networks, myTouchTunes (the company’s web destination, as well as popular social networks and social messaging systems, such as Twitter).

Expand presence in restaurant segment

TouchTunes believes that, of the approximately 190,000 casual restaurant, approximately 285,000 quick-service restaurant and thousands of other addressable retail outlets in the United States and Canada, only a small percentage have incorporated digital entertainment systems or advertising systems into their locations. TouchTunes is seeking to penetrate this market, initially through its national accounts sales force and its recently introduced PlayPorTT system.

Tightly couple content and advertising

TouchTunes intends to use its existing highly scalable network, its capability to integrate its suite of digital entertainment systems and its established channels of distribution to roll out its PlayPorTT and Barfly systems. TouchTunes believes that its planned integration of the Barfly system into TouchTunes’ network will result in a complementary, media-rich advertising, marketing and transactional services network. TouchTunes believes that its high-quality entertainment and related digital content engage consumers more effectively and make them more receptive to advertising, promotional and merchandising messages than they are when advertisers use traditional, non-interactive advertising approaches. As a result, TouchTunes believes that it can provide several advantages to advertisers that will increase the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and, in turn, increase TouchTunes’ planned advertising rates.

The company also intends to further develop its web destination, myTouchTunes , to be addressable by mobile telephones and other web-based systems, including popular social networks. In order to promote social video gaming, entertainment and an entertainment community, TouchTunes intends to build consumer loyalty by encouraging growth in myTouchTunes membership and through other social networking initiatives.

Expand strategic relationships with key content providers

TouchTunes has developed strategic relationships with key content providers, such as music record labels, to develop promotional services for music, bands, events, albums and tours. TouchTunes is seeking to expand the number of these strategic relationships (for example, with video content owners and game developers) as well as to broaden them to include the promotion of related merchandise, music downloads, concert tickets and other relevant promotional and merchandising opportunities.

Expand internationally through selective acquisitions

TouchTunes will seek to expand its geographic reach internationally. Currently, TouchTunes markets and sells its digital jukeboxes throughout the United States and has recently started to sell its jukeboxes in Canada and Mexico, with these newer markets representing approximately 4% of revenue in fiscal year 2008. The company also believes that several opportunities exist to provide these systems and services outside North America and is currently engaged in evaluations and trials in some of these markets. For example, TouchTunes is currently working with a partner in the United Kingdom in a trial of its PlayPorTT system with restaurant chains that collectively control approximately 10,000 locations out of a total market of 55,000 bars and pubs.

TouchTunes also plans to look at selective acquisition opportunities that can leverage its service base and distribution channels. Since mid-2007, TouchTunes has acquired the companies that developed the PlayPorTT and Barfly platforms and integrated them into its network and designed these products to be interoperable with its digital jukeboxes. TouchTunes will evaluate additional acquisitions of companies or technologies that bring complementary technology, products or market presence.

Products and Services

TouchTunes offers the following systems and services:

Music systems and services.

The cornerstone of TouchTunes’ interactive out-of-home entertainment network is its active base of over 38,000 jukebox systems (as of March 1, 2009), which play approximately 2,000,000 songs per day. TouchTunes develops and manufactures state-of-the-art digital jukebox systems, which it sells or leases to distributors who in turn sell to operators, or directly to operators, who, in turn, install and maintain these systems in bars, restaurants and other retail establishments. TouchTunes also has agreements with some larger customers whereby it retains ownership of systems in exchange for a higher percentage of the recurring revenue they generate. TouchTunes Music maintains a digital music library of more than 2,000,000 licensed songs, through licenses with major record labels, independent music distributors, music publishers and independent labels. TouchTunes enters into five-year music services agreements with each of its operators and other customers, pursuant to which TouchTunes licenses its music library solely for use on its jukeboxes, in exchange for a payment each time a song is played. TouchTunes distributes and tracks these songs using its proprietary operating system, which enables downloads of location-specific content to each digital jukebox in TouchTunes’ network. In cooperation with music label companies and other entertainment providers, TouchTunes has begun to develop promotional campaigns to promote artists, albums and concert tours. TouchTunes believes that these initiatives can sustain consumer interest in its music content and increase personal interaction with the jukebox, while providing an effective promotional tool for music label companies. There can be no assurances that TouchTunes’ initiatives will be successfully implemented.

Portable, broadband entertainment systems.

TouchTunes has started to manufacture and sell a portable, broadband, interactive entertainment system, PlayPorTT, which allows the user to play a wide variety of more than 50 classic and exclusively developed games. PlayPorTT offers both single and multi-player games, tapping into the trend toward casual multi-player gaming, as well as the ability to access TouchTunes’ jukeboxes via WiFi from the PlayPorTT console. PlayPorTT was launched commercially at the end of 2008, and had achieved an aggregate in-service base of 350 portable units as of March 1, 2009, with firm commitments to ship a total of more than 1,500 units by the end of June, 2009. Services are currently paid for on a per-play basis. In addition, while existing in-location game systems provide a point of comparison, PlayPorTT is a new product category that provides a different consumer value proposition, which may lead to a different revenue profile than TouchTunes’ jukebox systems, and which may also vary from the results produced by a relatively small number of units during a few months of operations.

Jukebox interactive advertising and promotion platform.

In early 2008, TouchTunes created and launched a platform to present, schedule and measure the effects of, advertising and promotional content on its network. This platform is capable of addressing each individual jukebox with targeted short video and interactive content. While introduced as a support service for major labels’ music promotions, TouchTunes is now offering this service to advertisers and national restaurant chains. The company believes that its network now offers the following advantages to advertisers:

 

•

compelling content draws consumers to the screen for extended dwell times;

 

•

advertising campaigns can be targeted to individual jukeboxes delivering customized messages woven into compatible media/applications at the point of consumption, increasing brand awareness and purchase; and

 

•

the software has the ability to capture survey responses and email addresses from users for further customer relationship management (CRM) purposes, or survey users of TouchTunes’ network for market research purposes. For example, TouchTunes has run a number of music promotions for major

Table of Contents

music labels each of which has generated tens of millions of banner impressions, hundreds of thousands of click-throughs, more than 100,000 survey responses and tens of thousands of consumer opt-in e-mail addresses.

To date, TouchTunes has had only one commercial advertising contract, relating to advertising on the jukebox systems. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that TouchTunes’ digital jukebox advertising and promotions will be successful or generate any meaningful revenue.

Barfly television-based digital entertainment and advertising services.

Through its subsidiary Barfly, TouchTunes has the capability to supply video and entertainment programming through existing television screens in bars, restaurants and other alcoholic beverage-serving establishments. Barfly’s interactive network system allows customers to watch content or play a variety of games, including trivia, by interacting with Barfly’s system using their cellular phone’s Short Message Service (SMS) capability. Barfly’s programming content is complemented by contextual advertising that allows Barfly to target the 21 to 34 demographic by placing advertising for beer, spirits, and other alcoholic beverages, along with a broad range of consumer brands, at the point of purchase and consumption of those products. Barfly provides:

 

•

a proprietary screen within a screen that wraps around live TV content (called a “dogleg”);

 

•

reliable video delivery to each screen;

 

•

ability to control both the dogleg and the center screen for multiple purposes, including ads, promotional messages, syndicated, custom and user-generated content;

 

•

individual screen addressability to target delivery of content and ads down to the individual bar level; and

 

•

context-sensitive ad-serving software that matches the precise ad to specific TV content or keywords from consumer messages posted to the screen.

Collectively, TouchTunes’ systems have the capacity to enable bar and restaurant owners to provide advertisements for food and drink specials, encourage on-site social networking and encourage return business with customized messages about special events, live music and DJ schedules and contests. Barfly is a new offering from TouchTunes that has yet to produce any revenue for the company. As such, it is difficult to predict when and if the Barfly systems that the company deploys will generate sufficient revenue to become a profitable line of business and justify TouchTunes’ investment.

myTouchtunes and integration of social networks.

Operating as both a web destination and service to users at locations or when mobile, myTouchTunes is a repository for member-created personalized music playlists and profile data. Members of myTouchTunes use the service on digital jukebox systems, PlayPorTT systems and other connected devices to interact with the TouchTunes out-of-home entertainment network. Over the web, users can also view profiles of other members in the myTouchTunes community and share their musical tastes. Over time, TouchTunes plans to enable these capabilities through popular social networking services to bridge the physical and virtual music spaces. However, there can be no assurances that TouchTunes will be successful in this effort.

TouchTunes plans to extend social network integration into a TouchTunes-equipped location. TouchTunes is testing a capability for consumers to order up songs and send playlists from mobile phones as well as to deliver social messages to a TouchTunes or Barfly screen using Twitter or other social messaging services. TouchTunes plans to deploy these capabilities on all TouchTunes’ platforms and also integrate them into the social networking environment and ‘buzz’ of the bar or restaurant location. However, there can be no assurances that TouchTunes will be successful in this effort.

Technology

TouchTunes currently offers two principal digital jukebox models: the Ovation and the Allegro MX-1. The Ovation is TouchTunes’ wall-mounted digital jukebox. The floor-mounted Allegro MX-1, TouchTunes’ most advanced digital jukebox model, was first shipped in November, 2008 and supports PlayPorTT, TouchTunes’ portable entertainment system, and TouchTunes web destination, myTouchTunes.com . The Allegro MX-1 is substantially less expensive to manufacture than the prior model of Allegro and is equipped with a better sound system and a more powerful computer that can support higher-resolution video content. Substantially all of the computer hardware in TouchTunes’ jukebox systems in the field can be upgraded to the computer hardware powering the Allegro MX-1.

Each TouchTunes’ digital jukebox system is capable of storing thousands of songs, in compressed digital format. Each digital jukebox can access and play approximately 200,000 songs downloaded from TouchTunes’ 2,000,000 song digital music library. The core of TouchTunes’ digital jukebox technology is a proprietary operating system, which is optimized for high-speed sound reproduction and video animation. TouchTunes also licenses music services to the operators of its digital jukeboxes, and these services are currently TouchTunes’ main source of revenue. TouchTunes’ social networking service, myTouchTunes , allows users to create personalized music playlists and profiles on TouchTunes’ digital jukebox systems.

The operating software employed by TouchTunes’ digital jukeboxes accounts for all songs played and automatically generates detailed pay-for-play statements, indicating royalty amounts owing to each record label and publishing company. This feature has helped TouchTunes obtain performance, recording, and publishing rights for the digital jukeboxes from performance rights societies, various record label companies, and various publishing companies. These rights authorize TouchTunes to reproduce and play copyrighted music on its digital jukeboxes. The aggregate statistics generated by TouchTunes’ digital jukeboxes can be used to determine the popularity of artists and titles, together with music preferences and trends. This information on musical tastes is critical to the music industry and can be made available by TouchTunes to record labels.

TouchTunes supports two generations of the operating software that drives each jukebox. TouchTunes’ Gen3 software, generally available since June, 2007 has a suite of applications that allow the jukebox to take advantage of new features, such as a recommendation engine, broadband connections and a host of interactive services that support advertising and promotional activities on the touchscreen. TouchTunes’ Gen 3 software also supports a range of additional capabilities that can be used to test market new products and services, assess the popularity of new content and monitor consumer preference and geographic trends. It allows the user to, test different creative and copy approaches (copy splits or A/B testing), conduct surveys, promote record labels and their artists, as well as provide other useful information.

The in-service base of TouchTunes digital jukeboxes has rapidly migrated to TouchTunes’ Gen3 software. As of the end of 2008, approximately two-thirds of TouchTunes’ in-service base of digital jukeboxes were running TouchTunes’ Gen3 software and approximately one-third were running TouchTunes’ Gen2 software.

TouchTunes launched TouchTunes PlayPorTT at the end of 2008. PlayPorTT is a wireless portable entertainment system that can interact with TouchTunes’ digital jukeboxes, and provides patrons of bars, restaurants, retailers, and entertainment centers with a personalized and highly interactive game and music experience.

TouchTunes believes that PlayPorTT has a unique power management architecture that delivers rich-media applications and games with over five hours of continuous usage between charges. Ruggedized to survive a user’s rough handling in a bar or restaurant, PlayPorTT communicates with TouchTunes’ network through a fortified WiFi service that enables a user to roam throughout the establishment and not lose his or her connection to TouchTunes’ network. TouchTunes believes that PlayPorTT is also the first commercially-available portable entertainment system to provide credit card payment options directly at the terminal in a secure manner, compliant with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards. In addition, PlayPorTT has been designed to interact with all of TouchTunes’ services, including its digital advertising, music and social networking platforms.

Barfly’s rich-media content and ad delivery system has three major components: (i) a display player that manages the delivery of custom content and ads to a TV screen; (ii) a media database and management system that allows content placement, tailors advertising to match center-screen content, and facilitates distribution to one or more screens according to the terms of engagement with an advertiser; and (iii) reporting software that provides real-time status reports on in bar systems and generates a digital audit trail for advertisers. The system supports highly selective targeting by bar demographic, time of day part and other important targeting parameters.

Network

TouchTunes has built its IT system to support a scalable network that can reliably deliver content, applications and services to both broadband and dial-up jukeboxes. Since TouchTunes began measuring the performance of broadband jukeboxes in locations that previously had dial-up connections, TouchTunes has observed that broadband-enabled digital jukeboxes generate more revenue on average than their dial-up counterparts (with at least a 10% revenue increase generated for TouchTunes’ systems with the latest generation software that can take full advantage of broadband services). Operators are migrating their TouchTunes jukeboxes to broadband and, as of December 31, 2008, approximately 38% of TouchTunes’ total active in-service base of digital jukeboxes had made the transition.

TouchTunes has arrangements with various telecommunication companies to obtain access into their TCP/IP networks, enabling the digital downloading of music content to its digital jukeboxes. TouchTunes also has recently finalized a nationwide arrangement with a major mobile carrier to provide inexpensive broadband services to TouchTunes’ jukeboxes. This initiative is intended to help accelerate the conversion of dial-up locations to broadband, enabling those systems to benefit from the full range of TouchTunes applications and services, specifically including Barfly.

TouchTunes’ network infrastructure represents a core component of TouchTunes’ business and TouchTunes believes that it can leverage the infrastructure roll out of PlayPorTT and Barfly interactive systems to existing TouchTunes digital jukebox-equipped locations. However, since PlayPorTT and Barfly interactive systems are new product lines for TouchTunes, there can be no assurances that TouchTunes will successfully integrate these systems into its network.

Product Development

TouchTunes has developed and upgraded its network over the course of the last ten years. During this time, TouchTunes has introduced four generations of hardware and three generations of software. Since 2006, TouchTunes has invested more than $15 million in its products, operating software, applications software and its network. TouchTunes’ R&D expenditures were $3.2 million in 2006, $5.4 million in 2007 and $9.0 million in 2008.

Manufacturing, Assembly and Distribution

Most of TouchTunes’ components and products are manufactured in whole or in part by third-party manufacturers. A significant concentration of this outsourced manufacturing is currently performed by only a few third-party manufacturers, often in single locations. TouchTunes also has outsourced much of its transportation and logistics management. TouchTunes recently ended a long-term relationship with Bose Corporation as part of its strategy to manufacture its systems offshore. The termination of this agreement coincided with the end of life of TouchTunes’ Allegro floor-mounted jukebox and the introduction of the Allegro MX-1 floor-mounted jukebox. TouchTunes entered into a new manufacturing agreement with ICT, a Taiwanese company, in July 2008, and both Allegro MX-1 digital jukeboxes and the new computer used in all TouchTunes digital jukeboxes are manufactured under this agreement. Shipment of Allegro MX-1 digital jukeboxes and computers began in late 2008. TouchTunes also recently ended its relationship with Positron, Inc., after Positron filed for protection under the Companies’ Creditor Arrangement Act in Canada and was subsequently acquired by Triton Electronik Québec Inc. (“Triton”). Triton continues the manufacturing of the TouchTunes’ Ovation

digital jukebox, and its MJS computers used in some of TouchTunes digital jukeboxes. These legacy products will be discontinued in the near future (Ovation will be replaced by Ovation II using a different contract manufacturer). Triton has itself recently experienced financial problems and is currently operating under the Canadian equivalent of Chapter 11.

Music Licensing

TouchTunes has a music library of over 2,000,000 songs, obtained via public performance licenses with major record labels and publishers. TouchTunes arranges for the renewal and payment of licensing fees to the performance rights societies, the accountability and disbursement of royalty payments to the record label companies and publishing companies (Warner Music Group, Universal Music Entertainment, EMI, Sony BMG, Warner Chappell, Sony/ATV/Music Publishing, Universal Music Publishing, Careers — BMG Music Publishing Inc. and EMI Entertainment World Inc.), and the ongoing provision of music selections to jukebox operators. These agreements are generally for two or three years and allow TouchTunes to cater to the constantly evolving musical tastes of its customers. The agreements with the music labels include a number of promotions, in which TouchTunes promotes plays of specific artists, builds awareness of new music or artists, captures play data and engages in joint public relations activity. At times, TouchTunes has been able to gain some exclusive content and sweepstakes or surveys, the results of which are valuable to the labels for marketing purposes. The music labels also periodically make available to TouchTunes other select assets, such as videos and artwork. While TouchTunes believes that it will continue to be able to obtain public performance licenses for its music library, there can be no assurances that these licenses will continue to be granted on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Customer Service and Technical Support

TouchTunes has well-staffed customer service and technical support departments that are accessed through a toll-free telephone number. TouchTunes also recently began to conduct training sessions for its digital entertainment and advertising systems, providing education and insight into their installation, use and optimization.

Sales and Marketing

TouchTunes promotes the digital jukeboxes and associated music service and PlayPorTT units through a direct sales force, distributors, trade advertising, its own and other web sites, spotlight shows and on-site demonstrations; through industry events in the coin-op, music, restaurant, advertising and digital industries; through press activities, partnerships, sponsorships; through “house” advertising on the jukeboxes and Barfly systems themselves; and through a full range of marketing collateral in various forms. These serve to promote both the product and service lines of the business, as well as to address different verticals. TouchTunes also has strategic partnerships with key content providers, such as music record labels, to promote music, bands, events, albums and tours.

To serve its large base of distributors and operators, TouchTunes employs an experienced sales force in the form of regional sales teams across the United States and an inside-sales team in Lake Zurich, Illinois. TouchTunes provides in-house education and training to its sales force to ensure that they provide its current and prospective clients with comprehensive information about TouchTunes’ products and services. With the launch of PlayPorTT and the acquisition of Barfly, TouchTunes has begun engaging in cross-selling initiatives to enable existing and potential advertising clients to take advantage of its multi-platform entertainment network. These cross-selling initiatives are at their preliminary stage, however, and there can be no assurances that they will be successful.

Competition

TouchTunes is confronted by aggressive competition in all areas of its business. TouchTunes’ competitors range in their stage of development and their geographic expansion and their business models also vary.

Digital Entertainment Systems

TouchTunes believes that it is the largest provider of digital jukebox systems in North America and that its installed base of digital jukeboxes is at least three times larger than those of its direct competitors. TouchTunes competes in the marketplace based on a number of factors, including the breadth of its distributor and operator network, product innovation and marketing, and service and support. More recently, TouchTunes has begun to leverage its customer relationships in the digital jukebox market to introduce new systems and services that can integrate with its digital jukebox systems.

 

•

Jukebox systems and music services : TouchTunes’ two main competitors in this market are Rowe International/Merit Industries, a provider of non-portable video game terminals and digital jukeboxes and Ecast, a provider of digital jukeboxes. DMX Inc., a provider of entertainment services for commercial environments, and SIRIUS Satellite Radio/XM, a recently merged provider of satellite radio services also offer music services to bars, restaurants and other retail locations.

 

•

PlayPorTT systems : To TouchTunes’ knowledge, no other vendor offers a portable entertainment system like the PlayPorTT system in the United States. Rowe International/Merit Industries has the largest installed base of fixed location proprietary game systems; JVL Corporation provides fixed-location systems that support games and other applications and NTN Buzztime, Inc., a public company, has a large installed base of trivia game systems focused primarily on the restaurant segment. PlayPorTT’s portability provides several advantages over fixed-location systems, primarily allowing patrons to utilize the system from the comfort of their own tables. This is expected to result in longer usage times and may increase the revenue-generating capacity of the units.

As TouchTunes ramps up its digital advertising initiatives, it will face intense competition in commercializing any new music-on-demand or other digital entertainment products and applications. Some competition may come from companies that may have longer operating histories and similar financial resources, management experience, technology capability, development, sales and as well as effectiveness and other strengths to TouchTunes.

 

•

Digital Advertising

TouchTunes has only recently entered the digital advertising market through advertising on its jukebox systems and its new Barfly service. If TouchTunes is able to market these services commercially, it will compete with other advertising companies in the United States and Canada including the following:

 

•

large, established companies that operate out-of-home advertising media networks, such as Clear Channel and Decaux, both large vendors of outdoor billboard advertising services and CBS Outernet, a subsidiary of CBS building an out-of-home digital signage network;

 

•

smaller, more focused competitors like Rowe International/Merit Industries and Zoom Media & Marketing, a leading provider of static advertising displays which is entering the market for networked television-based advertising displays; and

 

•

start-up providers of in-location television-based advertising systems and services, such as TargetCast, OnSite Networks, BarCast, The Bar Network and Tap TV. The company believes that these vendors do not have as fully-developed a solution as TouchTunes is bringing to the market through Barfly, lack the installed base of entertainment systems with which to integrate their service offerings, and will face obstacles in building a distribution channel comparable to the 2,800-strong operators channel that TouchTunes has developed over the last ten years.

TouchTunes also will compete for overall advertising spending with other alternative advertising media companies, such as companies that offer advertising services on the Internet, billboards, frame and public transport, and with traditional advertising media, such as newspapers, television, magazines and radio.

TouchTunes’ future financial condition and operating results are substantially dependent on TouchTunes’ ability to continue to develop and offer new innovative products and services in each of its markets.

Intellectual Property

TouchTunes’ intellectual property is an essential element of its business. TouchTunes protects its intellectual property by using a combination of trademark, patent and trade secrets laws, licensing and nondisclosure agreements and other security measures. TouchTunes currently holds rights to patents and copyrights relating to certain aspects of its digital entertainment systems and digital advertising systems. In addition, TouchTunes has registered, and/or has applied to register, trademarks and service marks in the United States and a number of foreign countries for “ TouchTunes ” and “ myTouchTunes ”. TouchTunes has 12 issued trademarks in the United States, 13 applications to register trademarks and service marks in the United States, 145 foreign-issued trademarks and 16 foreign applications to register trademarks and service marks.

TouchTunes regularly files patent applications to protect inventions arising from its research and development. TouchTunes has accumulated a portfolio of 19 issued registered patents and 38 registered patent applications in the United States, and 127 foreign-issued registered patents and 77 foreign registered patent applications. In addition, TouchTunes currently holds one copyright in Canada relating to certain aspects of its digital jukebox system.

TouchTunes’ employees and independent contractors are required to sign agreements acknowledging that all inventions, developments and other intellectual property created by them on TouchTunes’ behalf are TouchTunes’ property. The agreements require employees to assign to TouchTunes any ownership that they may claim in those inventions and intellectual property.

TouchTunes’ products are designed to include intellectual property obtained from third parties. While it may be necessary in the future to seek or renew licenses relating to various aspects of its products and business methods, and in particular, public performance licenses related to music content, TouchTunes believes based upon past experience that such licenses generally could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. However, there is no guarantee that such licenses will be obtained. In addition, because of technological changes in the digital entertainment industries, current extensive patent coverage, and the rapid rate of issuance of new patents, it is possible that certain components of TouchTunes’ products and business methods may unknowingly infringe existing patents or intellectual property rights of others.

From time to time, TouchTunes has been notified that it may be infringing certain patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. TouchTunes is involved in the Rowe claim, an ongoing litigation over several of its patents with Arachnid, Inc. and AMI Entertainment, Inc., as well as a principal competitor, Rowe International/Merit Industries, Inc. Although TouchTunes believes that it will prevail in its claims against the other parties to this litigation, there is no assurance that it will succeed in doing so.

Product Development

TouchTunes designs and manufactures its digital entertainment systems and digital advertising solutions through a combination of in-house technical staff and manufacturing or consulting partners. Each of these solutions includes customer-premise hardware, customer-premise software and a database server that hosts central content and distribution information. TouchTunes Digital Jukebox, Inc. employees perform research and development on digital entertainment systems, social network and digital advertising systems in Montreal, Quebec. In addition, certain TouchTunes Game Studio, LLC employees perform research and develop video game software and applications in Elk Grove, Illinois, and certain Barfly employees develop video game systems, digital advertising systems and social networking interfaces and systems in Austin, Texas. Hardware products are developed through TouchTunes’ mechanical and electronic engineering teams that collaborate with engineers at TouchTunes’ manufacturing partners globally. The use of third party manufacturing allows a relatively small TouchTunes development team to produce leading technology components that integrate into what it believes is a unique and technically superior finished product. However, such arrangements also reduce TouchTunes’ direct control over production and distribution and it is uncertain what effect, if any, such diminished control over existing and new manufacturing relationships will have on the quality or quantity of products or services, or TouchTunes’ flexibility to respond to changing conditions.

TouchTunes’ software teams work with TouchTunes’ sales, marketing, product management and music departments to develop software that provides an entertaining user experience using a remotely managed computing device. In addition, because TouchTunes provides music video and game entertainment that is protected by copyright, TouchTunes has developed, and continues to refine its own DRM and other security solutions to protect music record labels, artists and publishers. TouchTunes’ proprietary DRM is embedded in TouchTunes’ network and entire product line.

TouchTunes’ out-of-home network is protected by multiple redundant, high-availability firewalls, offering virtually instant failover. Backups of all of TouchTunes’ critical data and systems are performed daily, with backups stored offsite in a secure third party location. By June 2009, TouchTunes’ proprietary system will be re-located to a secure data center co-location facility at an undisclosed location. This facility will be able to provide full physical security and redundancy. However, an unexpected closure of TouchTunes’ operations facility could result in lengthy interruptions in its services. Any damage to or failure of TouchTunes’ operating system or network could result in service interruptions and loss of any music service or royalty fee data, which might reduce its revenue and profits and damage its brand.

TouchTunes continues to develop new products and technologies and to enhance existing products in the areas of digital entertainment systems and digital advertising systems. TouchTunes may expand the range of its product offerings and intellectual property through licensing and/or acquisition of third-party business and technology.

Legal Proceedings

TouchTunes is involved in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, commercial disputes, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, tax claims and employment matters. Although the outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, TouchTunes’ management does not expect any of these legal proceedings or matters, with the exception of those described below, to have the potential to have a material adverse effect on TouchTunes’ consolidated financial position or results of operations.

TouchTunes v. Rowe et al . In December 2007, TouchTunes filed a patent infringement action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Rowe, Merit and AMI for infringement of three patents owned by TouchTunes. TouchTunes also filed for declaratory judgment of non-infringement and invalidity on seven patents owned by or licensed to Rowe. Rowe, Merit, AMI and Arachnid counterclaimed for infringement of 5 of the 7 patents raised by TouchTunes in its declaratory judgment claims. TouchTunes is currently in active negotiations with Rowe, Merit and AMI to settle the case with respect to these companies through a cross-license.

Antor Media Corp. v. AEBN, Inc., et al. In November 2007, TouchTunes was named as one of several defendants sued in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas for alleged infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,734,961, which pertains to a system for transmitting information from a central server to a customer over a network. The plaintiff seeks monetary damages of an amount equal to no less than a reasonable royalty, enhanced damages, attorney fees and a permanent injunction. TouchTunes filed an answer denying infringement and all other claims, has asserted patent invalidity and inequitable conduct as defenses and filed counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments of patent invalidity, unenforceability, and non-infringement. The Court stayed the action pending an ongoing reexamination of the relevant patent in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Patent Office finally rejected all claims of the patent. Antor Media Corp. is seeking to amend the patent claims and to overcome the rejections.

Customers

As of December 31, 2008, TouchTunes has agreements with over 2,800 operators, and has distribution agreements with 21 distributors. None of TouchTunes’ customers accounts for more than 5% of TouchTunes’

revenue or owns more than 5% of TouchTunes’ digital jukeboxes. The economic recession has caused a number of operators to have financial difficulties, resulting in some cases in service interruptions until their routes (groups of bars and restaurants exclusively served by the operator in a given geographic area) are acquired by other operators.

Facilities

TouchTunes’ corporate headquarters is in New York City, New York; the lease on this facility costs approximately $200,000 a year and expires in August 2012. TouchTunes’ main offices in Canada are moving to a 25,000 square foot facility in April 2009 at an annual cost of $500,000 under a lease that expires June 30, 2011. TouchTunes’ main offices in Canada currently are in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where it leases approximately 23,000 square feet at an annual cost of approximately $500,000 under a lease that expires on July 31, 2009. These offices are used for back office processing, research and business development, storage of TouchTunes’ equipment and technology, and general corporate and finance activities. TouchTunes’ main warehouse, and operations facility is in Lake Zurich, Illinois, where TouchTunes leases approximately 32,000 square feet at an annual cost of approximately $300,000 under a lease that expires on June 30, 2009. This facility will move to a smaller location in June 2009 at an annual cost of approximately $180,000 under as lease that expires October 30, 2015. The company’s Barfly business unit is based in Austin, Texas and its PlayPorTT unit is based in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, both at nominal rents. TouchTunes believes that its space is adequate for its current needs and that suitable additional or substitute space will be available to accommodate the foreseeable expansion of its operations.

Government Regulations

TouchTunes intends to deliver digital advertising systems into bars and other establishments that serve alcoholic beverages, on behalf of its customers, some of which may be alcoholic beverage vendors. Most states have alcoholic beverage control laws and regulations. TouchTunes has worked with several states’ attorneys general to ensure that its planned digital advertising services will comply with applicable laws and regulations. However, changes in government regulation of the out-of-home advertising industries may adversely affect TouchTunes’ growth prospects.

Employees

As of December 31, 2008, TouchTunes and its subsidiaries had 229 full-time employees and 9 part-time employees, all located in the United States and Canada, including 30 in executive, finance, human resources and administrative roles, 40 in sales, 32 in marketing and digital media, 70 in research and development and 67 in operations. TouchTunes has never had a work stoppage and none of its employees is represented by a labor organization or under any collective bargaining agreements. TouchTunes considers its employee relations to be good.

Organization

TouchTunes is a holding company, with one wholly-owned subsidiary, TouchTunes Music. TouchTunes Music’s principal offices are in New York City, New York, Montreal, Quebec, Canada and Lake Zurich, Illinois. TouchTunes Music has three wholly owned subsidiaries. The first, TouchTunes Game Studio, LLC (f/k/a White Rabbit Game Studio, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company), developed TouchTunes PlayPorTT and was acquired by TouchTunes Music in September 2007. The second, TouchTunes Digital Jukebox Inc. (“TouchTunes Digital”), is a Canadian corporation headquartered in Montreal, and provides TouchTunes Music with, among other services, research and development in connection with TouchTunes’ digital jukebox projects. The third, National Broadcast Media Corp., d/b/a Barfly Interactive Networks (“Barfly”), is a Texas corporation, and provides digital interactive media in bars and other drinking establishments, and was acquired by TouchTunes in September 2008. TouchTunes Music and TouchTunes Digital together own TouchTunes de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., a Mexican corporation.

TouchTunes’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for TouchTunes includes periods prior to the closing of the acquisition by Victory. Accordingly, the following discussion and analysis of historical periods does not reflect the significant impact that the acquisition by Victory will have on TouchTunes, as a result of the post-merger company’s having significantly greater cash resources and an accelerated roll-out plan for its new products and services.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with TouchTunes’ Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007 and for the years ended December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Except for the consolidated historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Please refer to “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

TouchTunes develops, manufactures and sells digital jukeboxes and other digital interactive entertainment systems that are designed to provide innovative digital entertainment and advertising services to over 38,000 out-of-home locations in North America, such as bars, restaurants, retailers and other businesses. TouchTunes’ wholly-owned subsidiary, TouchTunes Music, introduced the world’s first digital-downloading, pay-per-play commercial jukebox in 1998 and now operates one of the largest out-of-home interactive entertainment network in the United States. Since mid-2007, TouchTunes has expanded its entertainment network offering, through acquisitions and product development, to include wireless, portable game systems and in-location television-based advertising and content solutions.

Background

TouchTunes Music, the original parent company and now a wholly-owned subsidiary of TouchTunes Corporation, was a development stage company engaged in the development of digital jukeboxes through mid-1998. In September 1998, TouchTunes Music introduced the first digital jukebox in the marketplace. This first model, Genesys, which represented a breakthrough in jukebox technology, was capable of storing 750 songs locally and was connected via the Internet to a central repository where music licensed by TouchTunes Music was stored and accessible. These initial systems were sold by TouchTunes Music to distributors and operators under a music license arrangement that did not provide recurring revenue to the company.

TouchTunes Music continued to invest in the development of new models and enhancement of existing features including the ability for these systems to receive daily content updates. TouchTunes Music also introduced replacement kits, which enable another manufacturer’s digital jukebox to be converted to a TouchTunes Music system connected to its music repository. In mid-2006, TouchTunes Music made a strategic decision to invest in an accelerated expansion of its jukebox customer base by ramping up significantly its sales and marketing promotional activity to raise TouchTunes Music’s visibility in the market and by offering various financing programs. These financing programs included extending volume discounts to smaller operators and allowing operators to purchase TouchTunes Music’s digital jukeboxes on an installment basis or to lease them for a five-year term.

In order to support its expanding network and to offer more content-rich and interactive features, during 2006 and 2007, TouchTunes Music focused on building scalability and reliability and enhancing the connectivity of its network. In anticipation of introducing its Gen 3 software in mid-2006, which enabled, for the first time, real-time distribution of video content, advertising and social networking services on the network, TouchTunes Music initiated a program to encourage and assist its operators and other customers, and their customers (such as bars and restaurants), to connect their locations via broadband, rather than through a dial up connection. As of December 31, 2008, approximately 35%, of TouchTunes Music’s installed jukeboxes were connected to the Internet by broadband, up from approximately 5% at December 31, 2006. This conversion to broadband by

Table of Contents

TouchTunes Music’s customers is important, because in TouchTunes Music’s experience, the average service revenue generated by the company’s broadband-connected jukeboxes is higher than the revenues generated by its jukeboxes connected via dial up. In addition, its PlayPorTT system requires a broadband connection for its operation. During the period from 2005 to 2008, TouchTunes’ base of installed digital jukeboxes, measured by an active connection to the TouchTunes’ network, grew from approximately 15,000 to approximately 36,500.

In August 2007, TouchTunes Music made its first acquisition to expand its product offering, purchasing TouchTunes Game Studio LLC (formerly White Rabbit Game Studio LLC), the developer of a wireless portable game console which has evolved into TouchTunes Music’s product PlayPorTT. The purchase price was a combination of cash and TouchTunes Common Stock, a portion of which is payable pursuant to an earnout arrangement based on unit sales of the digital entertainment PlayPorTT product. Following the acquisition, TouchTunes enhanced this system to enable access by a patron, through PlayPorTT, to a TouchTunes jukebox in the same location and designed the system to connect to the TouchTunes Music network in order to enable direct download from the company’s central repository of software, games and advertising. The first shipments of the PlayPorTT system were made in January 2009 and, as of March 1, 2009, there were 350 units installed and a total backlog of 1,556 units scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2009. If the merger is consummated, TouchTunes expects to spend approximately $40 million in the deployment of PlayPorTT systems, principally into national and regional restaurant chains.

To support the expanded operations of TouchTunes and its increased investment in new products and services, in December 2007, TouchTunes Music entered into a $50 million credit facility with an affiliate of Goldman Sachs, consisting of a $45 million multi-draw credit facility and a $5 million revolving credit facility. In connection with the credit facility, a holding company, TouchTunes Corporation, was created, and TouchTunes Music became its wholly-owned subsidiary. As of April 1, 2009, the outstanding principal balance under this credit facility was $44 million, of which $39 million was outstanding under a multi-draw term loan and $5 million was outstanding under a revolving credit facility.

TouchTunes’ efforts to create capabilities for interactive digital advertising and promotions resulted in the launch of its advertising management platform in the fourth quarter of 2007. Following the integration of this platform with DoubleClick ad serving platform in second quarter 2008, TouchTunes engaged in more than 20 advertising promotional campaigns on behalf of music labels and artists in 2008. These promotions were done in order to demonstrate the effectiveness and measurability of advertising on the TouchTunes network and the capabilities of the network technology. Based on the results of these campaigns, in August 2008, Verizon Wireless engaged TouchTunes, on a commercial basis, to conduct a three-month advertising campaign in 20 geographic markets. Based on the results of this campaign, which delivered over 450,000 impressions on the TouchTunes network in these markets, TouchTunes has significantly increased its sales efforts targeted towards advertisers and advertising agencies.

In the second quarter of 2008, TouchTunes announced the introduction of its newest model of jukebox system, the Allegro MX-1. The MX-1 was designed with the same real-time content distribution capabilities as TouchTunes Gen 3 but at a significantly lower manufacturing cost and with higher network reliability and self diagnostics, resulting in lower expected overall network administration costs. Based on a standard set of modular components, this system is configurable to meet individual system orders more quickly and reliably and at a lower cost than previous models. Delays in shipping the Allegro MX-1 system until November 2008 led to delays by customers in their systems orders for a significant part of 2008 and/or purchases of TouchTunes Music’s lower margin existing systems, which adversely affected TouchTunes’ systems revenues during that period. In total, TouchTunes shipped just over 6,000 Allegro MX-1 systems in 2008.

In exploring opportunities to collaborate with other companies in the advertising and digital media space, TouchTunes was introduced to Barfly in mid-2008 as a possible collaboration partner. Discussions regarding synergies in the two companies’ products and advertising strategies evolved into acquisition discussions, and TouchTunes completed the acquisition of Barfly in September 2008. TouchTunes has integrated Barfly screens,

which are located primarily in bars, into its network and is in active discussions with potential advertising partners. Given the recent integration of this system, TouchTunes has not yet entered into any advertising agreements or generated any revenue with respect to Barfly. If the merger is consummated, TouchTunes expects to spend approximately $60 million on the roll-out of an estimated 30,000 Barfly screens, principally into bars, by the end of 2010.

If the proposed merger is consummated, TouchTunes expects to have significantly greater capital resources to accelerate its growth plans. The main areas of focus for expansion will be an accelerated roll-out of Barfly advertising systems into bars and a more aggressive ramp of PlayporTT entertainment system shipments primarily into restaurant chains. The goal of installing up to 30,000 Barfly systems by the end of 2010 is expected to increase total additions to property, plant and equipment by approximately $60 million and result in increased operating costs to support the roll-out of the network. The goal of accelerating the deployment of 20,000 PlayporTT units (in approximately 5,000 restaurant locations) over the next two years also is expected to lead to an increase in additions to property, plant and equipment by approximately $40 million as well as increased operating costs involved in selling such units and managing the expanded network. In addition, TouchTunes will incur significant costs in fiscal 2009, estimated to be in the range of $1 million to $1.5 million, as it upgrades its internal systems and controls to comply with applicable Sarbanes-Oxley regulations.

Revenue model

TouchTunes’ revenue is derived from the sale or lease of its products as well as from the provision of services. TouchTunes’ proprietary product line is comprised of its digital jukebox systems and its wireless portable entertainment console, PlayporTT. TouchTunes’ service revenue is derived from the provision of licensed music and proprietary and licensed games on a pay-to-play or subscription basis. TouchTunes also seeks to generate service revenue from advertising displayed throughout its network of jukebox systems, PlayporTT game consoles and Barfly systems , its recently-introduced proprietary TV-based advertising system.

TouchTunes has shipped at least 6,000 new digital jukebox systems in each of the last three fiscal years. During that time, service revenues have grown from 55% of total revenue in 2006 to 62% in 2007 and 72% in 2008. Based on current economic conditions, TouchTunes is expecting to ship fewer digital jukeboxes in 2009. However, as the TouchTunes network continues to grow through the sale of additional jukebox systems, as well as through shipments of PlayporTT and Barfly systems, service revenues are expected to continue to grow and to become a higher percentage of total revenue, resulting in a more stable and predictable overall revenue base.

TouchTunes’ digital jukebox systems are sold primarily to local and regional distributors who in turn sell them to jukebox operators. These operators place the digital jukeboxes in retail establishments, primarily bars and restaurants, and are responsible for servicing the equipment. Operators enter into five-year music service agreements with TouchTunes under which TouchTunes provides licensed music exclusively for play on the TouchTunes’ digital jukeboxes that are sold or leased to the operator. Operators pay TouchTunes for music services based on a fixed percentage of the song price for each song played , resulting in approximately 20% of music services revenue flowing through to TouchTunes prior to its payment of royalties and license fees to third party music providers and network costs. TouchTunes currently assumes an average gross revenue amount per jukebox system of approximately $9,000.

TouchTunes offers its PlayPorTT system to customers both through its sales distribution channel and directly with TouchTunes retaining ownership. TouchTunes expects that a majority of the systems deployed in restaurants will be company-owned. In the case of PlayporTT systems, customers enter into agreements under which TouchTunes provides owned or licensed game software exclusively for play on PlayporTT consoles, under multi-year agreements similar to its music services agreements. Based on the limited experience to date on deployment of PlayPorTT systems, TouchTunes estimates that the average revenue per unit will be less than half the average revenue from a jukebox system, but that there will be on average four units per location as opposed to one jukebox per location.

Table of Contents

If TouchTunes retains ownership of a digital jukebox or PlayporTT system that is shipped to a bar or restaurant location, the fixed percentage of the song or game price that is paid to TouchTunes may be higher than for operator-owned systems. In cases where TouchTunes retains ownership of the digital jukeboxes or PlayporTT systems, it capitalizes these systems and depreciates them over the life of the services agreement. Digital jukeboxes and PlayporTT systems are connected via the Internet to TouchTunes’ servers, giving TouchTunes the ability to automatically track usage as well a to remotely push content to the network of more than 38,000 systems.

TouchTunes licenses music from more than 2,000 record labels, independent music distributors, music publishers and independent labels. TouchTunes pays a fixed dollar amount for each song played on its digital jukeboxes.

TouchTunes works with its operators to obtain the consent of bar owners to install Barfly systems in their establishments at no cost to these owners and at an estimated cost to TouchTunes, for an installed Barfly system, of approximately $2,000. These systems provide bars with the capability to display their own content free of charge, while at the same time providing advertisers with the ability to target their potential customers at the point of sale in exchange for advertising revenue. Any advertising revenue obtained by TouchTunes will be shared with the operators who place the Barfly systems in bar locations. TouchTunes is in negotiations with major advertisers to display ads on its Barfly network and on its jukebox systems but has not yet entered into any such agreements.

Seasonality

TouchTunes’ operating results are subject to some variability. Both product and service revenues are typically lower in the summer months of June, July and August as well as during national holiday periods. The variation in TouchTunes’ operating results is attributable to lower bar patronage in some months versus others and somewhat unpredictable product ordering patterns by distributors and operators.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

TouchTunes’ consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that TouchTunes make numerous estimates and assumptions. Financial results as determined by actual events could differ from those estimates and assumptions, and therefore could affect TouchTunes’ reported results of operations and financial position.

The preparation of financial statements also involves significant management judgment in making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. While best estimates have been used for reporting financial statement items subject to measurement uncertainty, management considers that it is possible, based on existing knowledge, that changes in future conditions in the near term could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.

In the following section TouchTunes describes the critical accounting policies that are most important to the depiction of TouchTunes’ financial condition and results of operations. These policies are more fully described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

TouchTunes treats the sale of products and services as separate units of accounting. TouchTunes provides for the estimated cost of sales incentives in the same period the sales are recorded. Service revenue generated from music and advertising contracts are recognized as the services are performed. Product sales including revenues from sales-type leases and service revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the products are shipped or services are provided to the customers at agreed upon prices and

payment terms and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Sales incentives

TouchTunes participates in various sales incentive programs with its customers including volume based rebates and promotional allowances. Sales incentives are deducted from revenue and accrued as earned based on management’s estimate for the total amount the customer is expected to claim. TouchTunes regularly reviews its sales incentive programs to ensure that the accruals are appropriate.

Warranty Provision

TouchTunes provides warranties on all products sold or leased for periods of up to five years. The standard warranty provides that TouchTunes will repair or replace defective products from the date a product is delivered. Product warranty costs are estimated based on the cost expected to be incurred during the warranty period and recorded as a charge to cost of sales for the estimated warranty cost. In determining the appropriate warranty provision, consideration is given to historical warranty cost information, the status of the product life cycle and current performance. The adequacy of our product warranty reserves is assessed periodically and adjusted as necessary in the period when the information necessary to make the adjustment becomes available. The reserve for product warranty is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Stock-based compensation

TouchTunes has stock-based compensation plans which are described in detail in the notes to the TouchTunes’ financial statements. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. TouchTunes elected to use the modified prospective transition method of adoption. This method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all share-based payments granted, modified or settled after the date of adoption and for all unvested stock options at the date of adoption.

TouchTunes recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grants, which generally equals the vesting period. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from these estimates. Stock-based compensation is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

TouchTunes has historically granted stock options at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock, as determined by TouchTunes’ board of directors, on the date of grant. In making such determinations, TouchTunes’ board has taken into account a number of factors, including:

 

•

TouchTunes’ historical operating performance and anticipated future operating results;

 

•

its financial condition including the terms and availability and cost of funds under TouchTunes’ senior credit facility;

 

•

the liquidation preferences and other rights of its outstanding convertible preferred stock;

 

•

recent privately-negotiated third party transactions involving TouchTunes’ capital stock including warrant issuances and acquisitions of other companies;

 

•

the lack of marketability of TouchTunes’ common stock;

 

•

the contractual and other rights of its controlling stockholder;

 

•

the potential for an initial public offering, merger or acquisition, or other liquidity event with respect to TouchTunes’ common stock.

Table of Contents

TouchTunes has valued its common stock at least once in each of the last three years. In doing so, it relied in part upon reports of independent valuation firms. For example, relying in part on a report by an independent valuation firm, TouchTunes valued its common stock as of December 31, 2007 at $0.47 per share (the “December 31, 2007 Valuation”). Similarly, relying in part on a report by another independent valuation firm, TouchTunes valued its common stock as of December 31, 2008 at $0.32 per share (the “December 31, 2008 Valuation”). The valuations conducted by the independent valuation firms were part of the factors considered by TouchTunes in conducting its valuations, but the ultimate valuations (and the analyses described below) were determined by TouchTunes.

During 2008, TouchTunes’ compensation committee granted options to purchase an aggregate of 830,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.47 per share on June 10, 2008 (the “June Options”), and TouchTunes’ board of directors granted options to purchase an aggregate of 5,889,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.32 per share on December 5, 2008 (the “December Options”).

The June Options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value per common share set forth in the December 31, 2007 Valuation, indicating a value of TouchTunes’ common stock of $0.47 per share. In granting these options, the compensation committee determined that the financial and other assumptions underlying the December 31, 2007 valuation had not changed in any material respect since the date of the valuation and that TouchTunes’ actual performance had been consistent in all material respects with such assumptions.

The December Options were granted at an exercise price of $0.32 per share. In granting these options, the board of directors considered several factors which led them to value a share of common stock at a lower value than the June Options, including:

 

•

the non-accretive nature of the Barfly acquisition and other effects of such acquisition, including the increased number of outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis and the increase in TouchTunes’ aggregate liquidation preferences due to the issuance of the series D preferred stock to former Barfly preferred stock holders and related issuances to TouchTunes’ senior lender and to its controlling stockholder of warrants to purchase series D-1 preferred stock in connection with debt provided to the company;

 

•

significant downward revisions to the projections for the Barfly acquisition resulting from both macro- and micro-economic factors relating to customer prospects, such as the impact of the general economic downturn, certain customer contracts that were delayed after the merger and other similar factors;

 

•

an increase in the weighted average cost of capital to TouchTunes following the Barfly acquisition, due to a change in the mix of debt and equity after such acquisition and due to the condition of the credit market at the time TouchTunes renegotiated its senior credit facility in connection with such acquisition;

 

•

the need to raise, and the probability of raising, additional capital to fund the expanded operations of TouchTunes after the Barfly acquisition and the likelihood that any additional equity would have liquidation preferences and other special rights; and

 

•

the board’s assessment of the probability of an initial public offering or a merger or acquisition in the next calendar year.

In addition to the foregoing factors, the board determined the fair market value of TouchTunes’ common stock and preferred stock using a probability weighted expected-return method.

This method uses three valuation methods: the current-value method, merger and acquisition method and the initial public offering method. Each method as well as the weighting mechanism are described below:

 

•

Current-value method . TouchTunes’ total enterprise value is determined by applying the weighted average cost of capital to TouchTunes’ projections of revenue, EBITDA, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, net operating loss carry-forward and working capital changes for the

 

123

Table of Contents

period 2009 to 2017. The weighted average cost of capital is calculated by assessing market and TouchTunes’ specific risk factors, and then generating a cost of equity capital, plus the after-tax cost of TouchTunes’ outstanding debt (applying the standard corporate tax rate to TouchTunes’ actual cost of debt), and multiplying each factor by its respective weighting in the capital structure of TouchTunes. TouchTunes’ cash on hand was added to the enterprise value and short and long-term debt are deducted to arrive at the total value of TouchTunes’ equity The total value of TouchTunes’ equity was reduced by the amount of any outstanding liquidation preference to arrive at the net amount payable to the common and preferred shares. The net amount payable equity value is divided by total number of common and participating preferred shares on an as-converted (to common) basis to arrive at the gross equity value per common share. The gross equity value per common share is reduced by a marketability or liquidity discount, reflecting the illiquid nature of the common stock, to arrive at a final net equity value per common share

 

•

Merger and Acquisition method . TouchTunes was valued at a typical multiple of the next fiscal year’s EBITDA for mergers and acquisitions. TouchTunes’ net equity value per common share is determined in the same manner as it is in the above current-value method.

 

•

IPO method . TouchTunes was valued at a “typical” IPO pre-money valuation and TouchTunes’ gross equity value was determined by subtracting TouchTunes’ outstanding debt from the pre-money valuation. Since all shares of preferred stock convert to common shares in a public offering, no liquidation preferences are deducted from the gross equity value. TouchTunes’ net equity value per share is determined as above in the current-value method.

The above three methods for determining TouchTunes’ net equity value per share are then weighted as to the probability of the following scenarios occurring:

 

•

IPO occurring in the next 24 months: 5%, reflecting the state of the IPO market and the fact that TouchTunes did not intend to go public in 2009.

 

•

A merger or acquisition of TouchTunes occurring in the 12 months after December 2008: 15%, reflecting the greater likelihood of TouchTunes being acquired than going public, but still much lower than current-value, as TouchTunes had no intention of actively seeking an acquirer in 2009.

 

•

The current value of TouchTunes: 80%, as at the end of 2008 TouchTunes had no proactive plans to go public or be acquired in 2009.

The impact of an IPO, merger or sale on the value of TouchTunes common stock was small( an increase of $0.05 per share in the final value of the common stock), as the probability of each such event occurring was small.

Table of Contents

There are a number of factors and uncertainties that affect the determination of fair market value with respect to the grant of stock options. The principal factors with respect to the valuations described above were:

 

•

Changes in the weighted average cost of capital: A three percentage point increase in the weighted average cost of capital led to a 25% reduction in the value of TouchTunes’ common stock at December 1, 2008 compared to the previously determined fair market value;

 

•

The effect of liquidation preferences: The addition of the liquidation preferences associated with the issuance of the series D preferred stock and the issuance of warrants to purchase series D-1 preferred stock in September 2008 negatively impacted the determination of fair market value of a share of common stock by more than 20% compared to the previously determined fair market;

 

•

Changes in the probability of certain events: An increase in the assessment of probability of the occurrence of an initial public offering or a merger or acquisition within a stated time period can increase the fair market value of a share of common stock. In this case, the assessment of a 20% probability of such an event increased the December 1, 2008 fair market value by more than 10% of the previously determined fair market value; and

 

•

Cost of debt and corporate tax rate: Eighty percent of the capital structure was assumed to be equity for the purpose of the above analysis. In addition, the cost of debt was assumed to be 11.5% (the then current cost of TouchTunes’ outstanding debt), and TouchTunes’ corporate tax rate was assumed to be 40%.

Income Taxes

TouchTunes uses the liability method to account for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes . Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized. Deferred taxes are not provided on the unremitted earnings of subsidiaries to the extent it is expected that these earnings are permanently reinvested in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23, Accounting for Income Taxes — Special Areas . Such earnings may become taxable upon the sale or liquidation of these subsidiaries or upon the remittance of dividends. Further utilization of non-operating losses are limited under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

TouchTunes adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), effective on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing tax returns to determine whether the tax positions have met a “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits related to tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are not permitted to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption of FIN 48, TouchTunes has elected an accounting policy that continues to classify accrued interest and penalties related to liabilities for income taxes in income tax expense.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade accounts receivable represents trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects TouchTunes’ best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. TouchTunes determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence. When a specific account is deemed uncollectible, the account is written off against the allowance.

Table of Contents

Inventory

Inventories, consisting of products, components and spare parts, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the average cost method. TouchTunes provides an allowance for obsolescence. Periodic revisions to allowance estimates are required, based upon the evaluation of several factors, including changes in estimated product life cycles, usage levels, and technology changes. Changes in these estimates are reflected immediately in income.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of intellectual property, non-competition agreements, service agreements, patents, and technology. Significant additions to intangible assets in 2008 and 2007 relate to the acquisitions described in “ Note 4 — Business Acquisitions” . Intangible assets with finite life are amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective economic lives, and amortization expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if indicators of impairment occur and it is more likely than not that impairment exists. As part of the impairment analysis, the carrying value of the goodwill is compared to an estimate of its fair value which is based on significant judgment and estimations of forecasts, long-term growth of our business, determination of our weighted average cost of capital and other relevant data. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the goodwill is impaired and is written down to its estimated fair value. While such a goodwill impairment charge would have no impact on TouchTunes’ bank covenants or liquidity position, it would result in a reduction of earnings. TouchTunes has one reporting unit for purposes of our goodwill impairment test and the annual evaluation date has been set as of year end.

TouchTunes’ goodwill balance was recorded in fiscal 2008. The acquisition of Barfly resulted in goodwill of $4.8 million and the acquisition of White Rabbit resulted in goodwill of $1.2 million. Our annual impairment test as of December 28, 2008 was determined using an income approach, which calculated the discounted present value of estimated future cash flows. The discounted present value was calculated using a multi-year projection, a discount rate of 27%, a terminal value growth rate of 2% and the utilization of tax loss carry forwards where applicable. Upon completion of our analysis, no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required.

TouchTunes’ impairment evaluation of goodwill included reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections and was based on estimates of projected future cash flows These estimates of future cash flows are based upon our historical experience with the sale of products and services, the future introduction of new and innovative products and services, the increase in customer base for our products and services, the renewal of our service contracts by our customers and future economic conditions. Future estimates of profitability are subject to variability, are difficult to predict and in certain cases, the factors are beyond our control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that there will not be impairment charges in the future based on future events and that the additional charges would not have a materially adverse impact on TouchTunes’ financial position or results of operations.

Financial Instruments

In determining fair value, TouchTunes applies valuation techniques including market and income approaches. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements establishes a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, based on the reliability of those inputs. TouchTunes has categorized its financial instruments measured at fair value within this hierarchy based on whether the inputs to the valuation technique are observable or unobservable.

Table of Contents

Derivative financial instruments

TouchTunes uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign exchange risk related to future cash flows. TouchTunes does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. TouchTunes primarily uses foreign exchange put options as cash flow hedging instruments. In order to qualify as a cash flow hedge, TouchTunes must designate and formally document at inception the hedge relationship, detailing the particular risk management objective and strategy for the hedge, which includes the item and risk being hedged, and how effectively it is being hedged. When these criteria are satisfied, and the hedge is deemed an effective cash flow hedge, TouchTunes records the fair value of the derivative on the balance sheet and the effective portion of the derivatives gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.

Revenues

Total revenue increased by 5.5% in 2008 as compared to 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to a $10.9 million increase in service revenue, offset in part by a $6.5 million decrease in product revenue. Revenue from product sales decreased by $6.5 million from $30.5 million in 2007 to $24.0 million in 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower unit sales of TouchTunes’ products in 2008 resulting from the delay of initial shipments of two new products, the Allegro MX-1 and PlayPorTT from mid-2008 until the end of 2008. Shipments of the Allegro MX-1, TouchTunes new replacement for its Allegro floor-mounted jukebox, were delayed due to design and production changes with respect to one of its newly-designed components. Shipments of PlayPorTT were delayed in mid-2008 due to software changes. Due to the buying patterns of operators with respect to digital jukeboxes, and since PlayPorTT is a new product for TouchTunes, TouchTunes does not expect that the delay in shipments of the Allegro MX-1 and PlayPorTT systems in 2008 will result in a revenue increase in 2009 solely as a result of the delay.

Table of Contents

Service revenues increased by $10.9 million from $50.1 million in 2007 to $61.0 million in 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the total number of digital jukeboxes in service at the end of 2008 (36,585) as compared to at the end of 2007 (30,215).

Cost of Sales

Product cost of sales decreased by $22.8 million, or 49.4%, from $46.1 million in 2007 to $23.3 million in 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in the number of unit sales of TouchTunes’ digital jukeboxes in 2008 based on the delayed launch after announcement of the Allegro MX-1, (ii) the delay in launching the PlayPorTT portable entertainment system from May 2008 until the end of 2008, and (iii) a decrease in the cost of sales of the Allegro MX-1.

The decrease in product cost of sales was offset in part by a $2.6 million increase in the cost of service, which increased from $12.9 million in 2007 to $15.5 million for the year ended December 28, 2008. This increase resulted from increased royalty payments by TouchTunes to record labels, publishers and performing rights societies in connection with an increase in the total number of paid plays.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $3.5 million, or 12.5%, from $27.5 million in 2007 to $31 million in 2008. This increase was attributable primarily to increased costs of $2.6 million associated with the acquisition of White Rabbit Game Studio, LLC in late 2007 and Barfly in late 2008.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by $3.6 million, or 66.0%, from $5.4 million in 2007 to $9.0 million in 2008. This increase was attributable primarily to increased costs of $2.6 million associated with the acquisition of TouchTunes Game Studio, LLC and Barfly.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.0 million, or 159%, from $1.3 million in 2007 to $3.3 million in 2008. This increase was attributable to an increase in property, plant and equipment and intangibles resulting from the acquisition of White Rabbit Game Studio and Barfly.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) includes leasing and financing income derived on the lease of products, any gain or loss on disposal of assets or sales-type leases, and foreign exchange gains or losses. Other income decreased by $0.1 million in 2008 as compared to 2007 primarily as a result of an increase in leasing and financing income of $0.7 million offset by an increase in foreign exchange losses $0.8 million. The majority of TouchTunes’ revenues are generated in U.S. dollars whereas a significant portion of TouchTunes’ expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars. A fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar may result in variations in revenues, expenses and net loss. TouchTunes recorded expenses denominated in Canadian dollars amounting to Cdn$18.2 million which were translated to U.S. dollars at an average exchange rate of 1.06 Canadian dollars per U.S. dollar (2007 —Cdn$14.5 million in expenses at an average exchange rate of 1.07).

In December 2008, TouchTunes entered into a series of individual put options whereby TouchTunes has the option to sell $0.5 million in U.S. dollars at a fixed strike price to the counterparty on a monthly basis for a total of U.S $6.0 million, with the last option set to expire in December 2009, at an option price of $1.23 Canadian dollars to $1.00 U.S. dollar. TouchTunes’ objective for entering into these transactions is to hedge the forecasted Canadian dollar transactions of and the cash-flow exposure resulting from changes in the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S dollar.

Interest and Financing Expense

Interest and financing expense increased by $2.8 million from $3.5 million in 2007 to $6.3 million in 2008. The increase in interest and financing expense was primarily due to the increase in debt resulting from the Senior Credit Facility (see below) as well as in increase in amortization of deferred financing fees primarily on the amendment of the facility. The Senior Credit Facility was entered into on December 10, 2007, therefore TouchTunes had a full year of interest expense associated with this facility in 2008.

Income Tax Expense

TouchTunes’ effective income tax recovery was below the statutory income tax rate of recovery in both 2008 and 2007 primarily as a result of unrecognized tax benefits of operating losses and other available deductions.

Net Loss

Due to the factors discussed above, TouchTunes recorded a net loss of $3.2 million for the year ended December 28, 2008, compared to a net loss of $16.5 million for the year ended December 30, 2007.

Revenues

Total revenue increased by $13.2 million or 19.6% in 2007 as compared to 2006. This change was primarily attributable to a 34.7% increase in service revenue in 2007, which increased by $12.9 million from $37.2 million in 2006 to $50.1 million in 2007. The increase in service revenue in 2007 was primarily attributable to an increase in the total number of digital jukeboxes in service at the end of 2007 (30,215) as compared to at the end of 2006 (21,515). The increase in revenue also was attributable by a smaller measure to an increase in revenues

from the sale of digital jukeboxes of $30.5 million for the year ended December 30, 2007, as compared to $30.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase resulted from an increase in unit sales of digital jukeboxes in 2007 as compared to 2006, offset by a decrease in average jukebox selling price.

Cost of Sales

Total cost of sales increased by 8.1% in 2007 as compared to 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to a 44.1% increase in cost of sales associated with services, which increased from $8.9 million in 2006 to $12.9 million in 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to an increased number of jukeboxes in service in 2007 as compared in 2006. The increased number of jukeboxes in service in 2007 resulted in an increase in royalty payments by TouchTunes to record labels, publishers and performing rights societies. The increase in cost of sales also was attributable in part to an increase in product cost of sales of $46.1 million in 2007 as compared to $45.6 million in 2006. The increase in product cost of sales was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of jukeboxes sold in 2007 of 9,781, as compared to 9,514 jukeboxes sold in 2006.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $9.1 million, or 49.5%, from $18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $27.5 million for the year ended December 30, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to increased personnel costs arising from the addition of TGS, from increasing the size of the sales organization and from hiring a more complete executive team.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 65%, from $3.3 million in 2006 to $5.4 million in 2007. This increase was attributable to costs related to the addition of TGS in the amount of $0.8 million as well as additional costs associated with the development of the third generation of jukebox software and the preliminary design of TouchTunes’ new hardware platform.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.1 million, or 8%, from $1.2 million in 2006 to $1.3 million in 2007. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in property, plant and equipment and intangibles resulting from the business acquisitions.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) includes leasing and financing income derived from the lease of products, any gain or loss on disposal of assets or sales-type leases, and foreign exchange gains or losses. Other income increased by $0.4 million in 2007 as compared to 2006 primarily as a result of a decrease in foreign exchange losses of $0.6 million offset by a reduction in leasing and finance income of $0.2 million. The majority of TouchTunes’ revenues are generated in U.S. dollars whereas a significant portion of TouchTunes’ expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars. A fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar may result in variations in revenues, expenses and net loss. TouchTunes recorded expenses denominated in Canadian dollars amounting to Cdn$14.5 million which were translated to U.S. dollars at an average exchange rate of 1.07 Canadian dollars per U.S. dollar (2006—Cdn$12.6 million in expenses at an average exchange rate of 1.13).

Interest and Financing Expense

Interest and financing expense increased by $2.7 million from $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 to $3.5 million for the year ended December 30, 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in long-term debt in 2007 as well as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

Income Tax Expense

TouchTunes’ effective income tax expense was below the statutory income tax rate of recovery in both 2007 and 2006 primarily as a result of unrecognized tax benefits of operating losses and other available deductions. In 2007, income tax expense related primarily to the use of federal research and development investment tax credits treated as an addition to paid-in capital under quasi-reorganization accounting.

Net Loss

Due to the factors discussed above, TouchTunes recorded a net loss of $16.5 million for the year ended December 30, 2007, compared to a net loss of $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

TouchTunes’ principal sources of liquidity are existing cash, internally generated cash flow and borrowings under TouchTunes’senior credit facility. TouchTunes also will have cash available from the Victory trust account upon the consummation of the merger. TouchTunes estimates that acceleration of the roll-out of approximately 30,000 Barfly systems by the end of 2010 will cost approximately $60 million, and that an accelerated roll-out of approximately 20,000 PlayPorTT systems over the next two years will cost approximately $40 million. TouchTunes’ outstanding indebtedness under its senior secured credit facility, as of April 1, 2009, was $44 million, of which $39 million was outstanding under a multi-draw term loan and $5 million was outstanding under a revolving credit facility. TouchTunes believes that the cash remaining in the Victory trust account and available to fund TouchTunes’ operations post merger, to gether with TouchTunes’ cash on hand and cash from operations and borrowing capacity under its senior credit facility, will be sufficient to fund TouchTunes’ operations, capital expenses, working capital requirements, research and development needs, and other liquidity requirements through at least 2010. TouchTunes may, however, require additional liquidity as it continues to execute its business strategy in the future. Additionally, TouchTunes’ liquidity and its ability to fund its liquidity requirements depends on its future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial, regulatory and other factors that are beyond its control.

TouchTunes anticipates that to the extent that it requires additional liquidity, it will be funded through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings, or a combination of these potential sources of liquidity. TouchTunes’ ability to obtain additional liquidity may be adversely impacted by a number of factors, including a continuation of the difficult conditions in the credit and financial markets which could limit the availability and increase the cost of financing. TouchTunes cannot provide any assurances that it will be able to obtain such additional liquidity on reasonable terms, if at all.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes TouchTunes’ cash flows in the three year period ended December 28, 2008.

 

		Year ended December 28, 2008				Year ended December 30, 2007				Year ended December 31, 2006
Net cash used in operating activities		$	(1,998	)		$	(16,956	)		$	(13,901	)
Net cash used in investing activities		$	(5,494	)		$	(5,270	)		$	(1,909	)
Net cash from financing activities		$	11,409			$	25,883			$	15,384

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.9 million in 2008 as compared to $17.0 million of cash used in operating activities in 2007. This decrease in cash used was primarily attributable to an increase in income from operations in 2008 as compared to 2007. Net cash used in operating activities increased by $3.1 million to $17.0

Table of Contents

million in 2007 as compared to $13.9 million of cash used in operating activities in 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to a more significant loss from operations in 2006, as well as additional investments in working capital in 2006 in sales-type leases and long term trade receivables.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.5 million in 2008 as compared to $5.3 million in 2007. This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in additions to property, plant and equipment and intangibles in 2008 offset by a decrease in business acquisitions. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $3.4 million to $5.3 million in 2007 as compared to $1.9 million in 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in additions to property, plant and equipment in 2007 and a $1.3 million cash payment that was used in the acquisition of White Rabbit Game Studio, LLC.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash generated from financing activities decreased to $11.4 million in 2008 as compared to cash generated of $25.9 million in 2007. This decrease in cash generated was primarily attributable to a decrease in net proceeds from long-term debt. Net cash generated from financing activities increased by $10.5 million to $25.9 million in 2007 as compared to $15.4 million in 2006. This increase in cash generated was primarily attributable to an increase in net proceeds from long-term debt offset by a reduction in proceeds from the issuance of shares.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Indebtedness

Senior Credit Facility

TouchTunes has indebtedness of $44.0 million outstanding under a $57.5 million Senior Credit Facility, as amended on September 15, 2008, (the “Amended Facility”) consisting of a maximum of $52.5 million multi-draw term loan and a $5 million revolving credit facility that matures on December 10, 2012 . The maximum availability on the Amended Facility is subject to certain limitations defined in the agreement, based primarily on music revenue. The Amended Facility bears interest on a per annum basis at a rate of LIBOR plus 8.0% after September 10, 2008 (with a LIBOR minimum rate of 3.5%) or at the base rate plus 7.0% after September 10, 2008, as elected by TouchTunes. Borrowings under the Amended Facility have been used for working capital. The Amended Facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of TouchTunes’ assets and capital stock of subsidiaries. Interest payments for base rate loans are due monthly while interest payments for LIBOR based loans are due based on the monthly frequency determined by TouchTunes at the time of borrowing, and are due at minimum on a semi-annual basis. In addition to an annual administration fee of $50,000, commitment fees of 0.5% per annum are incurred on the unused portion of the revolving facility and the multi-draw term loan up to $25 million. The unused portion of the loans in excess of $25 million is subject to commitment fees of 1% per annum. Voluntary prepayments and/or commitment reduction and by TouchTunes are subject to a prepayment and/or commitment reduction fee of 5.0% of the principal amount of such prepayment and/or commitment reduction if such prepayment and/or commitment reduction occurs prior to March 15, 2010, 3.0% of the principal amount of such prepayment if such prepayment and/or commitment reduction occurs between March 15, 2010 and September 15, 2011, and no fee if such prepayment and/or commitment reduction occurs between September 15, 2011 and the end of the term of the Amended Facility. The revolving credit facility and multi-draw term loan components of the Amended Facility contain customary operational and financial covenants.

As of December 31, 2008, the availability on the Amended Facility was $8.3 million after borrowing $44.0 million and maintaining a minimum reserve of $2.5 million. The effective interest rate on the Amended Facility was 11.5% for the year ended December 28, 2008. As of March 31, 2009, TouchTunes was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Amended Facility.

2008 Convertible Term Note

TouchTunes has indebtedness of $5 million outstanding under a subordinated convertible promissory note dated September 30, 2008 (“2008 Convertible Term Note”). The 2008 Convertible Term Note matures on June 30, 2013, or 91 days following the date at which TouchTunes’ Amended Facility is repaid and fully extinguished. The 2008 Convertible Term Note bears interest at the rate of 5 percent per annum and is automatically convertible into Series E Preferred stock if other investors purchase at least $5 million of Series E preferred shares. The effective interest on 2008 Convertible Term Note for the year ended December 28, 2008 was 16.1%. TouchTunes expects to repay the 2008 Convertible Term Note upon the closing of the merger.

Factoring Facility

TouchTunes has entered into a factoring facility to sell, with or without recourse, certain of its trade accounts receivable, long-term trade accounts receivable and sales-type lease receivables to unrelated third party financial institutions at a discount of 12%. Approximately $4.7 million of receivables have been sold under the terms of the factoring facility during the year ended December 30, 2007. However, TouchTunes did not meet the criteria for accounting for these as a sale in accordance with FASB Statement No. 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Trade accounts receivable sold under this factoring facility are therefore included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with a corresponding liability in long term debt.

In connection with the sale of accounts receivable, TouchTunes pledged $0.5 million in cash collateral as of December 30, 2007 to the financial institution. On March 14, 2008, TouchTunes issued a letter of credit in favor of this financial institution in exchange for the restricted cash.

Table of Contents

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

TouchTunes does not currently have, nor has it had in the last three years, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Related Party Transactions

In 2008, TouchTunes obtained financing of $5.0 million from its principal stockholder, the entire extent of which remains outstanding. It is a condition of Victory’s to the closing under the merger agreement that this note be repaid in full. In connection with this financing, a warrant was issued to the lender to purchase up to 2,525,252 shares of Series D-1 preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.985 per share, which expires seven years from issuance or upon the sale or merger of TouchTunes if TouchTunes’ stockholders hold less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity, or in the event of a liquidation transaction.

Additionally, TouchTunes had obtained financing of $5.0 million from the same principal stockholder in August 2007, which was repaid in December 2007. In connection with the 2007 financing, TouchTunes issued a warrant to purchase up to 7,500,000 shares of Series C preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, which expires seven years from issuance or the sale or merger of TouchTunes if TouchTunes stockholders hold less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure Regarding Market Risk

TouchTunes is exposed to interest rate risk in connection with its variable rate debt under the Senior Credit Facility, under which borrowings bear interest at floating rate of LIBOR plus 8.0% after September 10, 2008 or at the base rate plus 7.0% after September 10, 2008, as elected by TouchTunes. For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair value of the debt instrument, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. Assuming that LIBOR remains above 3.5% and that TouchTunes borrowed the entire $57.5.0 million in revolving and term debt available under the Senior Credit Facility, a 1.0% change in interest rates would result in a change to interest expense of approximately $0.6 million annually.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Subsequently, in February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 , which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The implementation of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities, effective on December 30, 2007 for TouchTunes, did not have a significant impact on TouchTunes’ consolidated financial position or results of operations. TouchTunes does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157-2 for non-financial assets and liabilities to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”), and SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements , an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). These new standards will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations and non-controlling (minority) interest transactions completed. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The impact of SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 on TouchTunes’ consolidated financial statements will depend on the nature, terms and size of any acquisitions consummated after the effective date.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 expands disclosure

Table of Contents

requirements included in SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. TouchTunes is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of recognized intangible assets under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . FSP FAS 142-3 also requires expanded disclosures related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. TouchTunes does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on EITF 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”). This Issue applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all the characteristics of a derivative as per SFAS 133. This Issue also applies to any freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in any entity’s own stock, regardless of whether the instrument has all the characteristics of a derivate as per SFAS No. 133. This Issue does not apply to share-based payment awards within the scope of SFAS 123(R). EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and TouchTunes is currently evaluating the impact it will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In June, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities, (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). The Staff Position provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and must be included in the earnings per share computation. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. All prior-period earnings per share data presented must be adjusted retrospectively. Early application is not permitted. TouchTunes is currently evaluating the impact it will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Victory stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection the merger or the issuance of Victory common stock pursuant to the merger under the DGCL.

TouchTunes stockholders are entitled to exercise appraisal rights pursuant to the merger under the DGCL. Information concerning the ability of TouchTunes stockholders to exercise appraisal rights is set forth in Annex H attached hereto.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of Victory’s common stock as of April     , 2009 (Pre-Merger) and, immediately following consummation of the merger (Post-Merger), ownership of shares of Victory common stock, by:

 

•

each person known by Victory to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Victory’s outstanding shares of common stock either on April     , 2009 (Pre-Merger) or of shares of Victory common stock outstanding after the consummation of the merger (Post-Merger);

 

•

each of Victory’s current executive officers and directors;

 

•

each person who will become an executive officer or director of Victory upon consummation of the merger;

 

•

all of Victory’s current executive officers and directors as a group; and

 

•

all of the executive officers and directors of Victory as a group after the consummation of the merger.

The table assumes that the merger is deemed to be a “Liquidation Event” under TouchTunes’ Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and that all warrants to purchase TouchTunes preferred stock held by VantagePoint will be exercised prior to the merger but that no other warrants or options are exercised after April 1, 2009. Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provide that a person is deemed to beneficially own all shares of common stock that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days. Although shares that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days are counted for the purposes of determining that individual’s beneficial ownership, such shares generally are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the beneficial ownership of any other person.

Information (Pre-Merger) does not reflect beneficial ownership of Victory’s outstanding warrants as these warrants are not currently exercisable and will not become exercisable until consummation of the merger. Information (Post-Merger) does not reflect beneficial ownership of any of the EBITDA Shares as these shares will not be earned within 60 days of the consummation of the merger and do not entitle the prospective recipients the right to vote such shares on any matters until they are earned.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Code of Ethics and Related Person Policy

Victory’s Code of Ethics requires it to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interest, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions with respect to smaller reporting companies such as Victory are defined under SEC rules as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the smaller reporting company’s total assets at year end for the last two completed years, (2) Victory or any of its subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5 percent beneficial owner of Victory’s common stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10 percent beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Victory’s audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent Victory enters into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, Victory requires each of its directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire on an annual basis that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

Inside Stockholder Escrow

All of the Founders’ Shares have been placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, pursuant to a Stock Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Founders’ Shares would be held in escrow until twelve months after the consummation of a business combination and could be released from escrow earlier than this date if, within the first year after Victory consummates a business combination, (i) Victory’s common stock has a last sales price equal to or exceeding $20.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period or (ii) Victory consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. In connection with the merger, such individuals have agreed that they will not sell their Founders’ Shares until the 18-month anniversary of the consummation of the merger, subject to certain exceptions. The foregoing agreement will cover any shares of common stock of Victory owned by the Victory Founders immediately following the merger or otherwise received in connection with the merger. Accordingly, any shares purchased in the open market and in private transactions by such individuals to facilitate the approval of the merger would be covered by the lock-up agreements. However, any shares purchased in the open market by such individuals after the merger would not be covered. Therefore, the Victory Founders could announce, prior to the consummation of the merger, their intention to purchase shares following the merger and have the ability to sell those shares without any restrictions.

Initial Stockholder Warrant Purchase

In connection with the closing of the IPO, Victory sold 2,500,000 Sponsors’ Warrants to each of Eric J. Watson and Jonathan J. Ledecky at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant. These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. The Sponsors’ Warrants are identical to the warrants underlying the units sold in the IPO except that the Sponsors’ Warrants are not transferable or salable by Messrs. Watson or Ledecky (except in certain limited circumstances such as to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, providing the transferee agrees to be bound by the transfer restrictions) until Victory completes a business combination, and if Victory calls the warrants for redemption, the Sponsors’ Warrants are not redeemable so long as such warrants are held by Messrs. Watson, Ledecky or their affiliates, including any permitted transferees.

Registration Rights

The holders of the majority of the Founders’ Shares and the holders of the majority the Sponsors’ Warrants (or underlying shares) each will be entitled to make up to two demands that Victory register such shares or warrants (or underlying shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into with Victory in connection with the IPO. The holders of the majority of the Founders’ Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing nine months after the consummation of a business combination. The holders of a majority of the Sponsors’ Warrants (or underlying shares) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after Victory consummates the merger. In addition, these holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to such date. Victory will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Other Transactions

Victory reimburses its officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on Victory’s behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by Victory, which are reviewed only by its board and audit committee or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged, provided that no proceeds held in the trust account will be used to reimburse out-of-pocket expenses prior to the merger.

 

141

Table of Contents

Other than reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses payable to the officers and directors of Victory, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s fees, consulting fees or other similar compensation, has been or will be paid to any of the Victory Founders, including the officers and directors of Victory, or to any of their respective affiliates, prior to or with respect to the business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is).

Victory requires that all ongoing and future transactions between itself and any of its officers and directors or their respective affiliates, including loans by its officers and directors, will be on terms that Victory believes to be no less favorable to it than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions or loans, including any forgiveness of loans, require prior approval by a majority of Victory’s uninterested “independent” directors or the members of its board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at Victory’s expense, to Victory’s attorneys or independent legal counsel. Victory will not enter into any such transaction unless its disinterested directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to Victory than those that would be available to Victory with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. Victory will continue such policy after the merger.

TouchTunes Related Person Transactions

Consulting Arrangement

In 2008, TouchTunes entered into a consulting arrangement with Meder Communications Inc., a consulting company owned by TouchTunes’ Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, William Meder. Under this consulting arrangement, TouchTunes paid Meder Communications for the services of Mr. Meder in his capacity of acting President and Chief Executive Officer. TouchTunes paid Meder Communications a total of $124,162 for these services in 2008.

Shareholder Financings

On September 30, 2008, TouchTunes borrowed $5 million from VantagePoint, its principal stockholder. The borrowing was effected under a subordinated convertible promissory note that matures on June 30, 2013 or 91 days following the date on which the TouchTunes’ Amended Facility is repaid and fully extinguished. This note will be repaid in full at the closing of the merger, as a condition to Victory’s obligation to consummate the merger. In connection with this financing, a warrant was issued to VantagePoint to purchase up to 2,525,252 shares of Series D-1 preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.985 per share. This warrant expires on the earlier of September 30, 2015 or Liquidation Event related to TouchTunes.

The subordinated convertible promissory note bears interest at the rate of 5% per year and is convertible at VantagePoint’s option into Series D-1 preferred stock at a conversion price of $0.985 per share.

Additionally, TouchTunes had obtained financing of $5 million from VantagePoint in August 2007, which was repaid in December 2007.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Victory’s directors and officers and persons owning more than 10% of Victory common stock to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on Victory’s review of the copies of such reports furnished to it, or representations from certain reporting persons that no other reports were required, Victory believes that all applicable filing requirements were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

On April 30, 2007, Victory closed its IPO of 33,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 units subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, with each unit consisting of one share of its common stock and one warrant, each to purchase one share of its common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The units (including those subject to the over-allotment option) were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $330,000,000. Victory’s units, common stock and warrants are listed on the NYSE Amex under the symbols VRY.U, VRY and VRY.WS, respectively. The closing price for each unit, share of common stock, warrant of Victory on March 23, 2009, the last trading day before announcement of the execution of the merger agreement, was $9.95, $9.91 and $0.01, respectively.

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Victory authorizes the issuance of 85,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of the record date, 40,500,000 shares of common stock were outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

Common Stock

Victory’s stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of the Victory Founders, including all of its officers and directors, have agreed to vote the Founders’ Shares owned by them in accordance with the majority of the Public Shares and have agreed to vote any shares purchased following the IPO in the open market in favor of the merger. The Victory Founders will vote all of their shares in any manner they determine, in their sole discretion, with respect to any other items that come before a vote of Victory’s stockholders.

Victory will proceed with the business combination only if a majority of the Public Shares is voted in favor of the business combination and holders owning less than 20% of the Public Shares both exercise their conversion rights discussed below and vote against the business combination.

The board of directors of Victory is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares eligible to vote for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Victory’s board of directors is similarly classified.

If Victory is forced to liquidate, the holders of the Public Shares will be entitled to share ratably in the trust fund, including any interest, and any net assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities. The Victory Founders have agreed to waive their rights to share in any distribution with respect to the Founders’ Shares.

Victory’s stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock, except that holders of the Public Shares (other than the Victory Founders) have the right to have their shares of common stock converted to cash equal to their pro rata share of the trust account if they vote against the business combination, properly demand conversion and the business combination is approved and completed. Public stockholders who convert their stock into their share of the trust account still have the right to exercise the warrants that they received as part of the units.

EBITDA Shares

The EBITDA Shares will be issued at closing of the merger and will be placed in escrow until they are earned. Until such time, they will not be considered outstanding and therefore will not carry with them any voting rights or rights to receive any dividends if any are declared.

Table of Contents

Preferred Stock

Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by its board of directors. No shares of preferred stock are being issued or registered in the merger. Accordingly, the board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. However, the underwriting agreement from its IPO prohibits Victory, prior to a business combination, from issuing preferred stock which participates in any manner in the proceeds of the trust account, or which votes as a class with the common stock on a business combination. Victory may issue some or all of the preferred stock to effect a business combination. In addition, the preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of Victory. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding and Victory does not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Warrants

Victory currently has 38,000,000 redeemable common stock purchase warrants outstanding, including the Sponsors’ Warrants. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Victory common stock at a price of $7.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing after the completion of the merger. However, the warrants will be exercisable only if a registration statement relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and current, as described below. The warrants will expire on April 23, 2011 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time.

After the consummation of the merger, Victory may call the warrants for redemption (excluding any Sponsors’ Warrants still held by the original purchasers of such warrants or their affiliates),

 

•

in whole and not in part,

 

•

at a price of $0.01 per warrant at any time after the warrants become exercisable,

 

•

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder, and

 

•

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the shares of common stock equals or exceeds $14.25 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders.

The right to exercise will be forfeited unless the warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of redemption. On and after the redemption date, a record holder of a warrant will have no further rights except to receive the redemption price for such holder’s warrant upon surrender of such warrant.

The redemption criteria for the warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing common stock price and the warrant exercise price so that if the stock price declines as a result of the redemption call, the redemption will not be expected to cause the stock price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants.

The warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Victory. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 for Victory’s IPO (SEC File Nos. 333-140359 and 333-142341), for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding warrants in order to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders.

Table of Contents

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Victory common stock or shares of Victory common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to Victory, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No public warrants will be exercisable and Victory will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and the shares of common stock have been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, Victory will use its best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, Victory cannot assure you that it will be able to do so and, if it does not maintain a current prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and Victory will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the shares of common stock are not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, Victory will not be required to net cash settle or cash settle the warrant exercise, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants may expire worthless.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, Victory will, upon exercise, round up or down to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock.

The Sponsors’ Warrants are identical to the public warrants except that they are not transferable or salable by Messrs. Watson or Ledecky (except in certain limited circumstances such as to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, providing the transferee agrees to be bound by the transfer restrictions) until Victory completes a business combination and if Victory calls the warrants for redemption, the Sponsors’ Warrants will not be redeemable so long as such warrants are held by Messrs. Watson, Ledecky or their affiliates, including any permitted transferees. In addition, they may be exercised for unregistered shares if a registration statement relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective and current and commencing on the date such warrants become exercisable, the Sponsors’ Warrants and the underlying common stock are entitled to registration rights.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent for Victory’s securities and warrant agent is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is also currently TouchTunes’ transfer agent. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will continue to act as transfer agent and warrant agent for Victory following the merger.

Holders

As of April 7, 2009, there was one holder of record of Victory units, 10 holders of record of Victory common stock and 3 holders of record of Victory warrants. Victory believes that the aggregate number of beneficial holders of its units, common stock and warrants is in excess of 400 persons.

Dividends

The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to the merger will be within the discretion of Victory’s then board of directors, subject to the relevant provision of Delaware law. The payment of dividends subsequent to the merger will be contingent upon Victory’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of the merger, as well as contractual restrictions and other considerations deemed relevant by Victory’s then board of directors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

TouchTunes Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TouchTunes Corporation as of December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of TouchTunes Corporation at December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 2008 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years ended December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006

(In thousands, except for share data)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Nature of business and year end

TouchTunes Corporation (the “Company”), formerly TouchTunes Holding Corporation, which is incorporated in the State of Delaware, is involved in out-of-home interactive digital entertainment networks and advertising services.

On September 9, 2008, the name of TouchTunes Holding Corporation was changed to TouchTunes Corporation.

In 2007, the Company changed the fiscal operating period to a 52-week or 53-week fiscal year and therefore the Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in December. For 2006, the Company’s fiscal year coincided with the calendar year and ended on December 31. During each of the years ended December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007, the Company had 52-week years.

Business segments

The Company has historically been managed as one business segment and reporting unit.

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue was earned in North America and substantially all of the Company’s assets are held in North America.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries TouchTunes Music Corporation (“TouchTunes Music”), TouchTunes Digital Jukebox, Inc. (“TouchTunes Digital”), TouchTunes Game Studio, LLC (“TouchTunes Games”), National Broadcast Media Corporation (“Barfly”) and Touchtunes de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Basis of Presentation and Utilization of estimates

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for public companies (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statement in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates include, but are not limited to revenue recognition, sales incentives, product warranties, amortization, the determination of fair value of assets acquired, taxes and investment tax credits, stock-based compensation and contingencies. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Years ended December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006

(In thousands, except for share data)

 

Revenue recognition

The Company treats the sale of products and services as separate units of accounting. The Company provides for the estimated cost of sales incentives in the same period the sales are recorded. Service revenue generated from music and advertising contracts are recognized as the services are performed. Product sales including revenues from sales-type leases and service revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the products are shipped or services are provided to the customers at agreed upon prices and payment terms and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Sales incentives

The Company participates in various sales incentive programs with its customers including volume based rebates and promotional allowances. Sales incentives are deducted from revenue and accrued as earned based on management’s estimate for the total amount the customer is expected to claim. The Company regularly reviews its sales incentive programs ensure that the accruals are appropriate.

Research and development and investment tax credits

Costs for new product research and development are expensed as incurred. The Company recognizes the benefit of Canadian research and development investment tax credits in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as a reduction of research and development expense for fully refundable investment tax credits and as a reduction of income tax provision for investment tax credits that can only be claimed against income taxes payable, when there is reasonable assurance that the claim will be recovered.

Product warranties

The Company provides warranties on all products sold or leased for a period of two or five years. The standard warranty provides that the Company will repair or replace defective products from the date a product is delivered. Product warranty costs are estimated based on the cost expected to be incurred during the warranty period and recorded as a charge to cost of sales for the estimated warranty cost. In determining the appropriate warranty provision, consideration is given to historical warranty cost information, the status of the product life cycle and current performance. The adequacy of the Company’s product warranty reserves is assessed periodically and adjusted as necessary in the period when the information necessary to make the adjustment becomes available. The reserve for product warranty is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Stock-based compensation

The Company has stock-based compensation plan which is described in “ Note 17 – Stock-Based Compensation” and accounts for them under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The Company has elected to use the modified prospective transition method upon adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006. This method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all share-based payments granted, modified or settled after the date of adoption and for all unvested stock options at the date of adoption.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grants, which generally equals the vesting period. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from these estimates. Stock-based compensation is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Income taxes

The Company uses the liability method to account for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes . Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized.

Deferred taxes are not provided on the unremitted earnings of subsidiaries to the extent it is expected that these earnings are permanently reinvested in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23, Accounting for Income Taxes – Special Areas . Such earnings may become taxable upon the sale or liquidation of these subsidiaries or upon the remittance of dividends.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), effective on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing tax returns to determine whether the tax positions have met a “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits related to tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are not permitted to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company has elected an accounting policy that continues to classify accrued interest and penalties related to liabilities for income taxes in income tax expense.

Given the quasi-reorganization on June 30, 2003, certain of the future tax benefits resulting from the use of loss carry forwards, if any, are credited directly to additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity instead of to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. To the extent that the Company pledges cash collateral and relinquishes control to a counterparty, it is removed from “cash and cash equivalents” and reclassified to “restricted cash” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Trade accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable represents trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence. When a specific account is deemed uncollectible, the account is written off against the allowance.

Inventory

Inventories, consisting of products, components and spare parts, are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the average cost method. The Company provides an allowance for obsolescence based on estimated product life cycles, usage levels, and technology changes. Changes in these estimates are reflected in determination of income.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment, including items financed through capital leases, are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization is provided on the following basis:

 

		Method		Rate
Furniture and equipment		Declining balance		20	%
Computer equipment		Declining balance		30	%
Vehicles		Declining balance		20	%
Leasehold improvements		Straight-line		Term of lease

Intangible assets

Intangible assets consist of intellectual property, non-competition agreements, service agreements, patents, and technology. Significant additions to intangible assets in 2008 and 2007 relate to the acquisitions described in “ Note 4—Business Acquisitions” . Intangible assets with finite life are amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective economic lives.

Long-lived assets

The Company reviews and evaluates its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. If the Company determines that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable based upon the undiscounted expected future cash flows of the asset or asset group, the Company records an impairment loss equal to the excess of carrying amount over the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. As part of the impairment analysis, the carrying value of the goodwill is compared to an estimate of its fair value. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the goodwill is impaired and is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment analysis for the year ended December 28, 2008, and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required.

Financing Costs

Financing costs applicable to long-term obligations are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related obligation.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during the period. Potential common shares, composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants or debt conversion, are included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share to the extent such shares are dilutive.

Foreign currency translation

The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

The Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be integrated foreign entities and are accounted for in accordance with the temporal method, as are transactions in foreign currencies entered into by the Company. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rate, non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical exchange rate, and revenue and expense items are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect on the related transaction dates. Exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of foreign currency items are included in the determination of net loss and are included in other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition of the instrument based on current pricing of such financial instruments with comparable terms. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), effective January 1, 2008, for fair value measurements of its financial assets and financial liabilities. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Company applies valuation techniques including market and income approaches. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for inputs used in measuring assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, based on the reliability of those inputs. The Company has categorized its financial instruments measured at fair value within this hierarchy based on whether the inputs to the valuation technique are observable or unobservable.

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 allows entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis under the fair value option. SFAS 159 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage foreign exchange risk related to future cash flows. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. The Company primarily uses foreign exchange put options as cash flow hedging instruments. In order to qualify as a cash flow hedge, the Company must designate and formally document at inception the hedge relationship, detailing the particular risk management objective and strategy for the hedge, which includes the item and risk being hedged, and how effectively it is being hedged. When these criteria are satisfied, and the hedge is deemed an effective cash flow hedge, the Company records the fair value of the derivative on the balance sheet and the effective portion of the derivative gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.

When the hedge is ineffective or the Company does not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, the Company records the fair value of the derivative on the balance sheet with the corresponding gains or losses included with other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that may affect accounting, reporting, and disclosure of financial information by the Company:

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 , which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157-2 for non-financial assets and liabilities to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141(R)”), and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). These new standards will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations and non-controlling (minority) interest transactions. SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The impact of SFAS 141(R) and SFAS 160 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the nature, terms and size of any acquisitions consummated after the effective date.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 expands disclosure requirements included in SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of recognized intangible assets under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . FSP FAS 142-3 also requires expanded disclosures related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives. This position is effective for fiscal years beginning

after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this position will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2008, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on EITF 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”). This Issue applies to any freestanding financial instrument or embedded feature that has all the characteristics of a derivative as per SFAS 133. This issue also applies to any freestanding financial instrument that is potentially settled in any entity’s own stock, regardless of whether the instrument has all the characteristics of a derivate as per SFAS No. 133. This Issue does not apply to share-based payment awards within the scope of SFAS 123(R). EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact it will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). This position provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and must be included in the earnings per share computation. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. All prior-period earnings per share data presented must be adjusted retrospectively. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact it will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Barfly — On September 15, 2008, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Barfly, an advertising agency which transforms existing television screens in bars into interactive marketing terminals. The Barfly acquisition represents a significant enhancement to the Company’s advertising and digital media offering. The integration of Barfly screens within a short period of time into the Company’s network as well as the significant potential additional revenues were the primary factors considered in the determination of the purchase price. The purchase price on the date of the closing of the acquisition was 7,577,285 shares of common stock valued at $0.48 per share, 7,480,164 shares of Series D preferred stock valued at $1.234 per share, $50 related to stock options held by Barfly’s employees exchanged for stock options to purchase 1,106,645 shares of common stock of the Company and additional contingent consideration if certain milestones are met. The values of the shares issued as consideration for the acquisition were calculated utilizing an income approach for the common stock and the liquidation preferences for the Series D preferred stock and the fair value of the stock options issued were determined in accordance with assumptions outlined in “ Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation.” The Company placed approximately 10% of the consideration paid in the transaction, or 757,726 shares of common stock, 748,010 shares of Series D preferred stock and 110,655 stock options to purchase shares of common stock into escrow for a period of 12 months ending September 15, 2009, as required by the purchase agreement.

The Company may be required to issue an additional 767,097 shares of common stock, 757,259 shares of Series D preferred stock and restricted stock awards for 112,027 shares of common stock to the former Barfly shareholders and Barfly optionholders based on the achievement of specified net advertising revenue thresholds, as defined, during the 18-month period from July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009. As of December 28, 2008, the Company did not record any contingent consideration as the achievement of these milestones was beyond reasonable doubt.

The Company incurred $349 of direct transaction costs which was recorded as part of the acquisition cost.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value consist of the following:

 

Accounts receivable and prepaid expenses		$	73
Property, plant and equipment			93
Purchased technology			10,500
Service agreements			1,404
Goodwill			4,824
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities			(568	)
Bank overdraft			(393	)
Deferred income tax			(2,666	)
		$	13,267

Total purchase consideration consists of the following:

 

Common stock		$	3,637
Series D preferred stock			9,231
Acquisition related costs			349
Stock options exchanged by the Company			50
		$	13,267

The purchase consideration has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The accounting for the purchase price allocation is subject to possible adjustments in the future, based on potential future contingent consideration. Goodwill in the amount of 4,824 has been recognized related to the Barfly acquisition which is not deductible for tax purposes. Future contingent stock issuance will be accounted for as goodwill while restricted stocks awards will be expensed. The Company assigned an economic life of 7 years and 5 years to purchased technology and service agreements, respectively.

As part of the purchase price allocation, deferred tax liabilities in the amount of $4,510 have been recorded on temporary differences arising on the acquisition of purchased technology and service agreements. In addition, deferred tax assets of $1,844 for net operating losses of Barfly and an additional $2,666 for net operating losses of the Company have been recorded. Since the tax benefit of $2,666 relates to net operating losses of the Company prior to the quasi-reorganization completed in June 2003, this tax benefit was credited directly to additional paid-in capital with an offset to the deferred tax asset. For the remaining deferred income tax asset of $127 for net operating losses of Barfly, a valuation allowance has been recorded. When additional net operating losses are utilized, the benefit will be recorded as a reduction to goodwill instead of income tax expense.

The results of operations of Barfly are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss from September 15, 2008, the date of acquisition, through December 28, 2008.

Acquisition of White Rabbit — On September 24, 2007, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of White Rabbit Game Studio, LLC (“White Rabbit”), a developer of video game devices and game software, in order to expand the Company’s service offerings (subsequently renamed to TouchTunes Game Studio, LLC on October 9, 2007 (“TTGS”)). The purchase price paid on the date of the closing of the acquisition (the “White Rabbit Closing”) was $1,258 in cash, $1,750 in balance of purchase price payable, 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $200 and additional contingent consideration if certain milestones are met.

In addition, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be held in escrow for the benefit of the sellers of White Rabbit (the “White Rabbit Sellers”) of which 500,000 shares, valued at $240, were released in September 2008.

The remaining additional 1,000,000 shares are to be released only if certain performance or sales milestones are achieved. The White Rabbit Sellers are entitled to voting rights on these shares. Any shares remaining in escrow that are not earned by the White Rabbit Sellers within thirty-six months after the first commercial shipment of TTGS’ products will be forfeited by the White Rabbit Sellers and cancelled by the Company. As of December 30, 2007 and December 28, 2008, the Company did not record any contingent consideration since the achievement of the contingency was beyond reasonable doubt.

Under the agreement, the White Rabbit Sellers have the right to put their shares to the Company at a price of $2.00 per share during a three-month period, as amended, commencing April 1, 2010 and expiring June 30, 2010 (the “WR Put Right”). In the event that the Company enters into a merger, however, the Company has the option of accelerating the WR Put Right, either as to the 1,000,000 shares already released or as to the entire 2,000,000 shares that are potentially releasable subject to the performance or sales milestones. Any unexercised rights under the WR Put Right expires after the closing of such merger. The White Rabbit Sellers also have a conditional option to repurchase White Rabbit, including any improvements to and intellectual property rights regarding such assets (the “WR Repurchase Option”). The WR Repurchase Option becomes exercisable in the event that the Company either defaults on any payment obligation to the White Rabbit Sellers in the first year following the White Rabbit Closing or if the Company elects to discontinue or otherwise fails to produce a minimum quantity of TTGS products. The WR Repurchase Option expires upon the earlier of (i) the payment by the Company of milestone payments totaling $2,750 and the release of a total of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as merger consideration to the White Rabbit Sellers, or (ii) April 24, 2009.

The balance of the $1,750 purchase price payable related to the acquisition consists of $1,000 originally due on the first anniversary date of the White Rabbit closing and $750 originally due on the second anniversary date of the White Rabbit closing or at such earlier time when and if the Company becomes publicly traded. On September 3, 2008, the Company amended the White Rabbit purchase agreement, which resulted in the deferral of the $1,000 payment to March 24, 2009. The balance of purchase price payable in future periods have been recognized with $1,693 and $920 in current portion of other liabilities and $0 and $617 in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, discounted at 12%, for a total of $1,693 and $1,537, as of December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007, respectively.

The agreement provides that if performance based milestones are achieved, the Company must pay to the White Rabbit Sellers additional cash consideration of $750 and release 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company from escrow. The performance-based milestones were met on September 10, 2008 and 500,000 shares of common stock were released from escrow and valued at $240, calculated using a probability weighted methodology which was recorded as goodwill. The amendment to the White Rabbit purchase agreement deferred the $750 due from the date of milestone achievement to February 8, 2009. The balance of purchase price payable was discounted at 12%, and recorded as goodwill and is recognized at $741 in current portion of other liabilities as of December 28, 2008. This amount was paid to the White Rabbit Sellers on February 8, 2009.

The agreement also provides that, if sales based milestones are achieved, the Company must pay to the White Rabbit Sellers, additional consideration calculated on a per unit basis up to an aggregate maximum of $1,500 and an aggregate maximum of 1,000,000 additional shares of common stock of the Company. Certain sales-based milestones were met on September 3, 2008, and 118,000 shares of common stock were released from

escrow and valued at $35, calculated using a probability weighted methodology, which was recorded as goodwill. An additional cash consideration of $150 was also recorded as goodwill, of which $132 was paid in cash in 2008. Goodwill relating to White Rabbit is deductible for tax purposes.

As of December 28, 2008, the Company did not record any remaining contingent consideration for sales based milestones amounting to $1,350 and 882,000 shares of common stock since the achievement of the contingency was beyond reasonable doubt. Any future contingent payments will be accounted for as goodwill.

The Company incurred $374 of direct transaction costs which was recorded as part of the acquisition cost.

Assets acquired initially at fair value consisted of the following:

 

Non-competition agreement		$	309
Acquired technology			3,014
		$	3,323

Total purchase consideration consisted of the following:

 

Cash paid		$	1,258
Notes payable			1,491
Retractable common stock (500,000 common shares)			200
Acquisition related costs			374
		$	3,323

The total purchase consideration was allocated to intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The additional contingent consideration noted above in the amount of $1,166 was recorded as goodwill in 2008. The Company assigned an economic life of 2 years and 5 years to non-competition agreement and acquired technology, respectively.

The results of operations of TTGS are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss from September 24, 2007, the date of acquisition, through December 28, 2008.

Pro forma adjustments have been made using the principles of SFAS No. 141 to reflect amortization using asset values recognized after applying purchase accounting adjustments. These adjustments amounted to $5,729, $4,841 and $1,718 for the years ended December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. No tax adjustment was necessary due to the benefit of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards. The pro forma loss per share amounts are based on the pro forma number of shares outstanding as of the end of each period presented which include the shares issued by the Company as a portion of the total consideration for the acquisitions.

The pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for information purposes only. The pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should not be construed to be indicative of the combined results of operations that might have been achieved had the acquisitions been consummated at the beginning of each period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined Company.

5. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

In 2007, the Company sold products to customers having a three-year non-interest bearing payment term. These sales are collateralized by the products sold and once the equipment is shipped and title has transferred, the Company does not have any contractual obligations nor a no return policy, other than standard warranty obligations. These sales are discounted using the Company’s borrowing rates at the date of the transaction, which was 12%, and are recorded as long-term trade accounts receivable with the current portion included in trade accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The corresponding financing income is recorded in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

The principal amount of payments to be received by year is as follows:

 

		December 28, 2008				December 30, 2007
2008		$	—			$	3,296
2009			2,541				2,197

Senior Credit Facility

On December 10, 2007, the Company entered into a Senior Credit Facility (“Facility”) of $50,000 from a financial institution consisting of a maximum of $45,000 multi-draw term loan and a $5,000 revolving credit facility, maturing on December 10, 2012. The maximum availability on this facility was subject to certain limitations defined in the agreement, based primarily on service revenue. The Facility bears interest on a per annum basis at a rate of LIBOR plus 6.0% or at the base rate plus 5.0%, as elected by the Company generally at the date of the borrowing or upon maturity. The proceeds of this Facility were used to repay existing debt and make available working capital. The Facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and capital stock of subsidiaries. Interest payments for base rate loans are due monthly while interest payments for LIBOR based loans are due based on the monthly frequency determined by the Company at the time of borrowing, and are due at minimum on a semi-annual basis. Commitment fees of 0.5% per annum are incurred on the unused portion of the revolving facility and the multi-draw term loan up to $25,000. The unused portion of the loans in excess of $25,000 is subject to commitment fees of 1% per annum. As of December 30, 2007, the availability on this facility was $6,900 after borrowing $34,000 and maintaining a minimum reserve of $2,500. The effective interest rate on the Facility was 11.25% for the year ended December 30, 2007.

Due to business performance in the first quarter of 2008, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and the leverage ratio as well as certain operational covenants as of March 30, 2008. The Company did not receive a waiver for compliance with these covenants, which resulted in the amounts outstanding under the Facility as of December 30, 2007 to be reclassified as a current liability.

On September 15, 2008, the Company amended its existing Senior Credit Facility (the “Amended Facility”) which was conditional on the issuance of 2008 Subordinated Debt described below The Amended Facility waived the Company’s default under operational and financial covenants as of March 30, 2008. In addition, the Amended Facility of $57,500 matures on December 10, 2012 and consists of a maximum of $52,500 multi-draw term loan and a $5,000 revolving credit facility. The maximum availability on the Amended Facility is subject to certain limitations defined in the agreement, based primarily on service revenue. The Amended Facility bears interest on a per annum basis at a rate of LIBOR plus 8.0% after September 10, 2008 or at the base rate plus 7.0% after September 10, 2008, as elected by the Company generally at the date of the borrowing or upon maturity. The Amended Facility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and capital stock of subsidiaries. Interest payments for base rate loans are due monthly while interest payments for LIBOR based loans are due based on the monthly frequency determined by the Company at the time of borrowing, and are due at minimum on a semi-annual basis. In addition to an annual administration fee of $50, commitment fees of 0.5% per annum are incurred on the unused portion of the revolving facility and multi-draw term loan up to $25,000. The unused portion of the loans in excess of $25,000 is subject to commitment fees of 1% per annum. Voluntary prepayments and commitment reductions by the Company are subject to various prepayment and commitment reduction fees as defined in the Amended Facility agreement. As of December 31, 2008, the availability on the Amended Facility was $8,225 after gross borrowing of $44,000 and maintaining a minimum reserve of $2,500. The effective interest rate on the Amended Facility was 12.7% as of December 28, 2008.

In connection with the Amended Facility, a warrant was issued to the lender to purchase up to 4,050,101 shares of Series D-1 preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.985 per share, which expires on September 15, 2015. The warrant contains a “Put Right” provision under which the holder of the warrant become entitled to put the warrant to the Company at fair market value upon the earlier of (i) the sixth anniversary of the warrant’s issuance, (ii) the entry of the Company into an asset sale or merger transaction as a result of which the Company’s shareholders prior to the transaction would no longer control a majority of the Company after such transaction, or (iii) a material breach of the terms of the warrant. The warrant also contains a “Catch-Up Payment” provision stating that if the holder exercises the warrant or the put right contained therein in connection with a transaction or event in which the holders of Series B or C preferred stock receive a liquidation preference pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, then the warrant holder is entitled to receive an additional payment equal to 2.5% of the liquidation preference received by the holders of Series B or C preferred stock.

The fair value assigned to the warrant at the time of issue was $2,052, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Within twelve months of expiry or earlier, based on certain conditions, the holder can put the warrant to the Company to settle the warrant for cash at fair value determined by both parties as at that date. The fair value of the warrant at the time of issuance was recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction of the multi-draw term loan and revolving credit facility outstanding at that time and a liability based on assumptions included in “Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation.” This debt discount is amortized over the term of the Amended Facility using the effective interest method. During the year ended December 28, 2008, the Company recorded an accretion expense of $188 and a change in fair value on this warrant of $26.

The Amended Facility contains specified operational and financial covenants which have been met as of December 28, 2008.

At inception of the Amended Facility, the Company had a balance of $1,375 in unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Facility that were to be amortized over the term of the Facility. The Company has

determined that the Amended Facility represented a substantial change from the initial Facility under the guidance in EITF Issue 96-19, Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments . As a result, the balance of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Facility was recorded as amortization of deferred financing fees in 2008.

2008 Subordinated Debt

On September 30, 2008, the Company obtained financing of $5,000 from its principal shareholder in the form of a subordinated convertible promissory note (“2008 Subordinated Debt”) maturing on June 30, 2013 or 91 days following the date at which the Company’s Amended Facility is repaid and fully extinguished. The 2008 Subordinated Debt bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and with interest and principal payments due at in 2013 or 91 days after repayment of Senior Credit Facility. The 2008 Subordinated Debt was automatically convertible at the holder’s option into Series E preferred stock if other investors purchase at least $5,000 of Series E preferred shares by December 14, 2008, which did not occur. After that, the warrant is convertible into Series D-1 preferred stock at a conversion price of $0.985 or any other preferred stock issued by the Company based on the purchase price of the preferred stock. As of December 28, 2008, no Series E preferred stock was issued by the Company. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature upon issuance of the 2008 Subordinated Debt amounted to $1,396.

In connection with this financing, a warrant was issued to the lender to purchase up to 2,525,252 shares of Series D-1 preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.985 per share, which expires seven years from issuance. The fair value assigned to the warrant at the time of issue was $1,374, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the significant assumptions of which are included in “Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation.” The fair value of the warrant at the time of issuance was recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as additional paid-in capital.

The total debt discount is amortized over the term of the 2008 Subordinated Debt using the effective interest method. During the year ended December 28, 2008, the Company recorded an accretion expense of $90. The effective interest rate on the 2008 Subordinated Debt as of December 28, 2008 was 16.1%.

Factoring facility

The Company has entered into a factoring facility to sell with or without recourse, certain of its trade accounts receivable, long-term trade accounts receivable and sales-types lease receivable to an unrelated third party financial institution at a discount of 12%. There were no receivables sold during the year ended December 28, 2008 and approximately $4,674 of receivables were sold under the terms of the factoring facility during the year ended December 30, 2007. However, the Company did not meet the criteria for accounting for these as a sale in accordance with SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities — A Replacement of FASB Statement 125. Trade accounts receivable sold under this factoring facility are therefore included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with a corresponding liability in long-term debt.

Letters of Credit

In connection with the factoring facility, the Company pledged $500 in cash collateral as of December 30, 2007 to the financial institution. On March 14, 2008, the Company issued a letter of credit in favour of this financial institution in exchange for the restricted cash.

2007 Convertible Term Note

On August 24, 2007, the Company obtained financing of $5,000 from its principal shareholder, in the form of a subordinated convertible promissory note (“2007 Convertible Term Note”) maturing on August 24, 2008. The 2007 Convertible Term Note incurred interest at the rate of 6% per annum with interest and principal payments due at maturity. The 2007 Convertible Term Note included a conversion option if the 2007 Convertible Term Note was not repaid in full on or before April 30, 2008, into a maximum of 10,608,334 shares of Series C preferred stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. The conversion feature was at the option of the holder and expired upon repayment of the 2007 Convertible Term Note. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature upon issuance of the 2007 Convertible Term Note amounted to $1,350.

In connection with this financing, a warrant was issued to the lender to purchase up to 7,500,000 shares of Series C preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, which expires on the earlier of a change in control of the Company or seven years from issuance. The fair value assigned to the warrant at the time of issue was $1,284, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, the significant assumptions of which are included in “ Note 17 — Stock-Based Compensation ”. The fair value of the warrant at the time of issuance was recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Convertible Term Note was repaid on December 10, 2007 and the related agreement was cancelled.

During the year ended December 30, 2007, the Company recorded an accretion expense and loss on extinguishment of debt of $554 and $729, respectively. The effective interest rate on the 2007 Convertible Term Note for the year ended December 30, 2007 was 13.3%.

12. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT TAX CREDITS

The Company incurred total research and development costs of $8,948, $5,389 and $3,223 during the years ended December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

The Company is eligible to claim Canadian federal and provincial investment tax credits (“ITCs”) for eligible research and development expenditures. The Company records ITCs based on management’s best estimates of the amount to be recovered and ITCs claimed are subject to audit by the taxation authorities. The Company has recorded refundable ITCs of $226, $476 and $88 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the years ended December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 28, 2006, respectively, as a reduction of research and development expense. The benefit of $0, $454 and $112 of non-refundable Canadian federal ITCs incurred in years before a quasi-reorganization completed in 2003 were recognized in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and were credited directly to additional paid-in capital. The benefit of $0, $111 and $0 of non-refundable Canadian federal ITCs incurred in years after the 2003 quasi-reorganization were recognized in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as a reduction of income tax expense.

15. INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 effective on January 1, 2007. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of deficit arising as a result of the adoption of FIN 48. As of December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $506 and $465 respectively, of total unrecognized tax benefits. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits at December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007 respectively, the full amount of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate of future periods. At December 28, 2008 and December 30, 2007, the Company had accrued approximately $ 55 and $ 48 respectively, for the potential payment of interest and penalties.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

 

		December 28, 2008						December 30, 2007
		Non-U.S.				U.S.		Non-U.S.			U.S.
Opening balance — beginning of year		$	465			—		$	291		—
Increase in tax positions taken in current year		$	103			—		$	108		—
Foreign exchange		$	(62	)		—		$	66		—
Closing balance — end of year		$	506			—		$	465		—

The Company files income tax returns in the United States (federal and state) and Canada (federal and provincial). The Company’s U.S. operations have not been audited for any open taxation years. The Company has experienced losses for U.S. tax purposes and therefore, the taxation authorities may review any loss year, if and when the losses are utilized. The Company’s Canadian operations have been audited for federal investment tax credits up to and including the December 30, 2007 fiscal year but remain subject to audit for other matters from December 31, 2001. The provincial government has audited the Company up to and including the December 31, 2004 fiscal year. The Company has no on-going income tax audits as at December 28, 2008. While taxation years remain open, the Company also considers it reasonably possible that issues may be raised or tax positions agreed to by the taxation authorities which may result in increases or decreases to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. However, an estimate of such an increase or decrease cannot be currently made.

The provision for income taxes includes the following components:

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

The valuation allowance decreased by $1,709, and increased by $5,857 and $3,454 for the years ended December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

As of December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company has approximately $3,989, $5,630 and $4,554, respectively of research and development expenditures for Canadian federal tax purposes and $0, $0 and $664, respectively for Quebec provincial purposes that are available to reduce taxable income in future years and have an unlimited carry forward period. Of these amounts, the tax benefits of $202, $309 and $157 have been recognized for Canadian tax purposes, as a reduction of deferred tax liability as of December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The tax benefit of the remaining research and development expenditures has not been reflected in these consolidated financial statements. Research and development expenditures are subject to audit by the taxation authorities and accordingly, these amounts may vary.

The Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $59,679, $53,260 and $42,907 as of December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The net operating losses expire as follows:

 

Fiscal Year
2019		$	10,499
2020			8,511
2021			8,809
2022			547
2023			1,808
2025			3,206
2026			9,527
2027			10,353
2028			6,419
		$	59,679

The utilization of net operating loss carryforwards relating to Barfly and amounting to approximately $5,200 will be limited under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state provisions to approximately $695 per year.

The Company has not deducted stock based compensation expense in the amount of $827, $758 and $782 for the years ended December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, as these amounts are not deductible for U.S. tax purposes until the compensation expense related to the exercise of the stock options for U.S. tax purposes has actually been determined. In 2008, 2007 and 2006, the exercise of certain options resulted in an amount of $0, $561 and $0, respectively, becoming deductible, the tax benefit of which was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. When additional amounts are claimed as a deduction for U.S. tax purposes and are utilized against taxes payable, the benefit will be credited directly to additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity instead of to tax expense.

During 2008, as a result of the Barfly acquisition (see Note 4 – “Business Acquisitions” ) and in 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded deferred tax assets of $2,666, $0 and $0, respectively, as a credit to additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity for the use of net operating loss carryforwards incurred prior to the June 30, 2003 quasi-reorganization.

During 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded income tax expense of $154, $801 and $131, respectively. Of the amounts in 2007 and 2006, a recovery of income taxes of $454 and $112 have been credited directly to additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity as a result of the Company’s use of previously unrecognized Canadian federal investment tax credits in 2007 and 2006, respectively. A benefit of $111 and $0 of non-refundable Canadian federal ITCs incurred in years after the 2003 quasi-reorganization were recognized in 2007 and 2006, respectively, as a reduction of income tax expense.

In addition, in connection with the Barfly acquisition disclosed in “Note 4 — Business Acquisitions,” the Company issued 1,106,645 stock options to former employees of Barfly which vest over periods of up to five years.

The stock option activity and the weighted average exercise price during 2008, 2007, and 2006 is summarized as follows:

 

		2008						2007						2006
		Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price			Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price			Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at beginning of year		20,636,700			$	0.33		12,079,825			$	0.22		5,090,394			$	0.40

Exercised		—			$	—		(2,953,125	)		$	0.21		—			$	—
Forfeited or Cancelled		(6,328,715	)		$	0.40		(205,000	)		$	0.40		(4,815,794	)		$	0.40
Outstanding at end of year		18,837,357			$	0.30		20,636,700			$	0.33		12,079,825			$	0.22
Options exerciseable at end of year		9,158,788			$	0.28		3,783,092			$	0.24		5,012,031			$	0.22

The fair value of stock options and warrants granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

		Year ended
		December 28, 2008			December 30, 2007			December 31, 2006
Expected option life (years)		6			6			10
Expected volatility		71.5	%		83.1	%		83.1	%
Risk-free interest rate		3.2	%		5.0	%		4.6	%
Expected dividend yield		—			—			—

The compensation expense for 2008, 2007 and 2006 of $827, $758 and $782, respectively, is presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and credited to additional paid-in capital.

As part of the options granted in 2007, there were 2,716,667 performance based options for which no compensation expense was recorded as the performance conditions could not be determined beyond reasonable doubt. These options were forfeited in 2008.

The weighted average fair value of equity instruments granted in 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $0.22, $0.28 and $0.18, respectively. The fair value of options cancelled in 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $0.28, $0.13, and $0.13, respectively.

Expected option life is determined based on historical exercise and forfeiture patterns. Expected volatility was determined using comparable companies for which the information is publicly available. The risk-free interest rate is determined based on the rate at the time of grant and cancellation for zero-coupon U.S. government securities with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. Dividend yield is based on the stock option’s exercise price and expected annual dividend rate at the time of grant.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model used by the Company to calculate option values was developed to estimate the fair value. This model also requires highly subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values.

In 2008, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 6,575,353 of the Company’s Series D-1 preferred stock in connection with debt financing, the details of which are included in “ Note 11 – Credit Facilities ”. The fair value of the warrants issued was estimated at the date of grant (adjusted for the number of shares the warrants are entitled to upon exercise) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the same weighted average assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options during the year with an expected term of 7.0 years. In addition, the Company extended the term of a warrant to purchase 110,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which was issued to an unrelated party, until December 31, 2009.

In 2007, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s Series C preferred stock in connection with debt financing, the details of which are included in “ Note 11 – Credit Facilities ”. The fair value of the warrants issued was estimated at the date of grant (adjusted for the number of shares the warrants are entitled to upon exercise) using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the same weighted average assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options during the year with an expected term of 3.5 years.

On November 13, 2006, 4,640,794 non-qualified stock options outstanding were exchanged for 11,805,225 non-qualified options at an exercise price of $0.21 having different vesting periods up to four years depending on the holder-specific circumstances. As a result of the exchange in November 2006 of options previously issued in exchange of new options, the Company, as required under SFAS 123(R), determined the incremental compensation expense by comparing the fair value of the new options granted with the fair value of the exchanged options under the current assumptions.

The following table summarizes information with respect to warrants and stock options outstanding as of December 28, 2008:

 

		Outstanding										Exercisable
		Exercise price			Number Outstanding		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Weighted Average Exercise Price			Number Exercisable		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Warrants		$	0.32		110,000		1.0		$	0.32		110,000		$	0.32

		$	0.47 - 0.64		1,333,416		7.3		$	0.55		194,235		$	0.59

As of December 28, 2008, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options amounted to $3,376, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of 2.8 years.

18. BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are as follows:

 

		Year ended
		December 28, 2008				December 30, 2007				December 31, 2006
Net loss		$	(3,191	)		$	(16,539	)		$	(11,076	)
Weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding used to compute basic and diluted net loss per common share			119,888,595				114,278,418				116,197,391
Basic and diluted net loss per common share		$	(0.03	)		$	(0.14	)		$	(0.10	)

For the year ended December 28, 2008, the impact of the conversion of 9,235,774 shares of Series A preferred stock into 27,707,322 shares of common stock, 8,888,889 shares of Series B preferred stock into 40,000,001 shares of common stock, 30,824,558 shares of Series C preferred stock into 30,824,558 shares of common stock, and 7,480,164 shares of Series D preferred stock into 7,480,164 shares of common stock are included in the weighted average common shares outstanding, using the as-if converted method, to compute the basic and diluted net loss per share because they have characteristics similar to the common stock.

As a result of the net losses for the years ended December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, all potential dilutive securities were anti-dilutive; therefore dilutive and basic net loss per share are the same. As of December 28, 2008, there were 9,158,788 stock options outstanding and exercisable and warrants to purchase up to 110,000 shares of common stock, 7,500,000 shares of Series C preferred stock, and 6,575,353 shares of Series D-1 preferred stock.

19. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s objective for entering into these transactions is to hedge the forecasted Canadian dollar transactions of and the cash-flow exposure resulting from changes in the value of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S dollar.

There were no net gains or losses resulting from cash flow hedge ineffectiveness during the year as the hedging instrument was determined to be highly-effective. As of December 28, 2008, the fair value of the put

options amounted to $315 and have been recorded as other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the change in the fair value of this instrument of approximately $10 is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, as of which is expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months.

As of December 30, 2007, the Company had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding. During 2007, the Company held certain foreign exchange forward contracts with various maturity dates up to September 28, 2007 that did not meet the criteria to apply hedge accounting. The net foreign exchange gain recorded was $129 in 2007.

Credit risk

The Company sells and leases its products directly to operators who place the products in various locations throughout the United States. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of each operator’s financial condition and generally, collateral is not required (other than extended terms contracts or sales-type leases which are collateralized by the product). Estimated credit losses and returns have been provided for in the consolidated financial statements and have generally been within management’s expectations. In 2008 and 2007, no customer represented more than 10% of sales, revenue and 10% of trade accounts receivable.

Interest rate risk

Details as to the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk related to long-term debt are set out in “ Note 11 – Credit Facilities ”.

Valuation methods and assumptions

The Company estimated the fair value of our financial instruments as described below:

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts and other receivable, and accounts payable. Due to their short-term maturity the fair value of these financial instruments is considered to be equal to their carrying value.

Long-term accounts receivable and sales-type lease receivable. The fair value of the long-term accounts receivable and sales-type lease receivable approximates its carrying value based on discounted cash flow analysis using current interest rates.

Derivative financial instruments. The fair value and the carrying value of the derivative financial instruments are based on quoted market price of instruments with similar characteristics as of the balance sheet date, adjusted to reflect the specific risk factors of the Company.

Long-term debt. The fair value of the long-term debt approximates its carrying value due to its floating interest at market rates.

Subordinated debt. The fair value of the subordinated debt as of December 28, 2008 was calculated to be approximately $2,320 based on discounted cash flow analysis using current interest rates.

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contract for operating leases

The Company occupies office facilities and leases vehicles under various operating leases that expire over a period to 2012. Future minimum rentals are as follows:

 

Fiscal Year
2009		$	635
2010			199
2011			199
2012			135
		$	1,168

Rental expense under operating leases was $1,215, $863 and $539 for the years ended December 28, 2008, December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Letters of Credit

As noted in “ Note 11 – Credit Facilities” , the Company has issued a letter of credit in favour of the financial institution with whom the Company has entered into a factoring facility. As of December 28, 2008, the amount of the letter of credit was $500.

Additionally, as of December 28, 2008, the Company has issued two letters of credit for $1,864 in the aggregate in favour of a third-party manufacturer of the Company’s products. The letter of credit is issued upon placement of the order and is intended to guarantee payment for the order. Funds are released upon shipment of the products.

Other

The Company has entered into a supply agreement with a third-party manufacturer, expiring in July 2010, which requires the Company to purchase products for a minimum of $5,500 per year.

Contingencies

In the normal course of its operations, the Company is exposed to various claims, disputes and legal proceedings. These disputes involve numerous uncertainties and the outcome of the individual cases is unpredictable. According to management, the resolution of these matters should not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position.

One of the cases pending relates to a complaint filed by the Company in the Southern District of New York against Rowe International, Merit Industries Inc. and Arachnid Inc. for patent infringement and for declaratory judgment of non-infringement by patents owned the defendants. Rowe International and Arachnid have filed counterclaims against the Company for patent infringement in this case. It cannot be determined at this time what the possible gains or losses may be from this case.

22. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On March 23, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Victory Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Victory”), VAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware., corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Victory (“Merger Sub”) and the Company’s principal shareholder. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Victory. If approved, the merger is expected to be consummated on or before April 24, 2009, after the required approval by the stockholders of Victory and the fulfillment of certain other conditions. The Company’s Board of Directors approved this merger on March 23, 2009.

The holders of common stock of the Company will receive in the merger approximately 30.5 million shares of Victory common stock. Additionally, all outstanding options and warrants of the Company shall be cancelled and substituted with options and warrants of similar tenor to purchase an aggregate of approximately 4.4 million shares of Victory common stock, of which options to purchase approximately 2.5 million shares are vested as of April 1, 2009. The holders of common stock of the Company will also have the right to receive up to an additional approximately 9.9 million shares (“EBITDA Shares”) of Victory common stock if the combined company’s earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) exceeds an aggregate of $50 million for any two consecutive quarters during the period ending on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger. The EBITDA Shares will be issued at the closing of the merger and will be placed in escrow until they are earned. If the EBITDA target is not met, the EBITDA Shares shall be returned to Victory for cancellation. If the, EBITDA target is met, the Company’s options shall also be adjusted to purchase an additional approximately 0.3 million shares of Victory common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Audit Committee of the

Board of Directors and Stockholders

of Victory Acquisition Corp.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Victory Acquisition Corp. (a development stage enterprise) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the periods from January 12, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s certificate of incorporation provides for mandatory liquidation of the Company in the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination (as defined) prior to April 24, 2009. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Victory Acquisition Corp. (a development stage enterprise), as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the periods from January 12, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Victory Acquisition Corp’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated, March 12, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1.

Organization, Business Operation, Significant Accounting Policies and Going Concern Consideration

Victory Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on January 12, 2007 as a blank check company to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses (“Business Combination”).

All activity from January 12, 2007 (inception) through April 30, 2007 relates to the Company’s formation and the Company’s initial public offering (“Offering”). Since May 1, 2007, the Company has been searching for a target business to acquire. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Offering”) was declared effective April 24, 2007. The Company consummated the Offering on April 30, 2007 and received gross proceeds of $330,000,000 and $5,000,000 from the sale of sponsor warrants on a private placement basis (see Note 2). The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of this Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. The Business Combination must be with a target business that has a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) at the time of such acquisition and operate in any industry other than the franchising, financial services or healthcare industries. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. At the Consummation of the Offering, an amount of $321,660,000 (or approximately $9.75 per share) of the net proceeds of the offering and the sale of the sponsor warrants (see Note 2) was deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and is invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a) (16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 until the earlier of (i) the consummation of its initial Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the Company. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the balance in the Trust Account was $331,131,382 and $327,314,508 respectively, which includes $1,065,238 and $2,341,204 respectively, of funds to be transferred to the operating account for working capital and taxes. The $1,065,238 (plus $127,793 of prepaid taxes) and $2,341,204 has been classified, respectively, on the December 31, 2008 and 2007 audited balance sheet as cash held in trust account, available for working capital and taxes. The placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors (except our independent registered public accountants), prospective target businesses or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements.

The Company’s officers have agreed that they will be personally liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that they will be able to satisfy those obligations. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Except with respect to interest and dividends income that may be released to the Company of (i) up to $3,000,000 to fund expenses related to investigating and selecting a target business and our other working capital requirements and (ii) any additional amounts needed to pay income or other tax obligations, the proceeds held in trust will not be released from the Trust Account until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, will submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that stockholders owning 20% or more of the shares sold in the Offering vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. All of the Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering, including all of the officers and directors of the Company (“Initial Stockholders”), have agreed to vote their 7,500,000 founding shares of common stock in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other stockholders of the Company (“Public Stockholders”) with respect to any Business Combination. After consummation of a Business Combination, these voting safeguards will no longer be applicable.

With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholder who voted against the Business Combination may demand that the Company convert their shares. The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by Public Stockholders at the consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding 20% (less one share) of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders may seek conversion of their shares in the event of a Business Combination. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share interest in the Trust Account computed without regard to the shares held by Initial Stockholders. Accordingly, a portion of the net proceeds from the offering (20% (less one share value) of the amount held in the Trust Account) amounting to $66,028,967 and $65,240,672 respectively, has been classified outside of equity as common stock subject to possible conversion at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was amended on April 24, 2007 to provide that the Company will continue in existence only until 24 months from the effective date of the registration statement relating to the offering (effective date) or April 24, 2009. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by such date, its corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of liquidating and winding up its affairs. In the event of liquidation, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Offering.

Going Concern and Management’s Plan and Intentions

As of December 31, 2008, excluding the Trust Account-restricted of $330,144,884, the Company had working capital of $1,061,361. The Company’s only source of income to enable it to continue to fund its search for an acquisition candidate is the interest and dividends it earns on its cash held in the Trust Account. These funds may not be sufficient to maintain the Company until a Business Combination is consummated. Pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, if the Company is unable to consummate a Business Combination prior to April 24, 2009, the Company would have to liquidate and return the funds held in trust. There can be no assurance that the Company will enter into a Business Combination prior to April 24, 2009. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The audited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Earnings Per Share

The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, earnings per common share amounts (“Basic EPS”) are computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Common shares subject to possible conversion of 6,599,999 have been excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the trust earnings. Such earnings are deducted from earnings available to common stockholders. Earnings per common share amounts, assuming dilution (“Diluted EPS”), gives effect to dilutive options, warrants, and other potential common stock outstanding during the period. SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the statements of operations. The effect of the 38,000,000 outstanding Warrants issued in connection with the Offering and the Private Placement has not been considered in the diluted earnings per share calculation since the exercise of the Warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events, and therefore, is not includable in the calculation of diluted earnings per share in accordance with SFAS 128.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

SFAS No. 105 (“SFAS”), “Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentration of Credit Risk”, requires disclosure of significant concentrations of credit risk regardless of the degree of risk. At December 31, 2008, financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents held in trust. The Company maintains its cash balances in U.S. Treasury—only money market funds at JP Morgan Private Bank. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation insurances limits.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, cash held in Trust Account and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of the fair values due to their short-term maturity.

Cash Held in Trust Account-restricted

The Company considers the restricted portion of the funds held in the Trust Account as being a non-current asset. A current asset is one that is reasonably expected to be used to pay current liabilities, such as accounts payable or short-term debt or to pay current operating expenses, or will be used to acquire other current assets. Since the acquisition of a business is principally considered to be a long-term purpose, with long-term assets such as property and intangibles typically being a major part of the acquired assets, the Company has reported the funds anticipated to be used in the acquisition as a non-current asset. In addition, the Company has recorded interest receivable of $78,740 as a non-current asset at December 31, 2008. The Trust Account has earned more than $3 million, which is the maximum amount allowed to be used for working capital purposes.

Accretion of Trust Account Relating To Common Stock Subject To Possible Conversion

The Company records accretion of the income earned in the Trust Account relating to the common stock subject to possible conversion based on the excess of the earnings for the period over the amount which is available to be used for working capital and taxes. Since 20% (less one share) of the shares issued in the Offering are subject to possible conversion, the portion of the excess earnings related to those shares are reflected on the balance sheet as part of “Common stock subject to possible conversion” and is deducted from “Additional

paid-in capital”. The portion of the excess earnings is also presented as a deduction from net income on the Statements of Income to appropriately reflect the amount of net income which would remain available to the common stockholders who did not elect to convert their shares to cash.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Statement defines fair value, establishes a frame work for measuring fair value in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement codifies the definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Opinion for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities too choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Adoption is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 159. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R changes accounting for acquisitions that close beginning in 2009 in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, in-process research and development and restructuring costs. More transactions and events will qualify as business combinations and will be accounted for at fair value under the new standard. SFAS 141R promotes greater use of fair values in financial reporting. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. Some of the changes will introduce more volatility into earnings. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for any business acquired in the future.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (NCI) and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 would have an impact on the presentation and disclosure of the noncontrolling interests of any non-wholly owned business acquired in the future.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”) SFAS No. 140-4 and FASB Interpretation Number (“FIN”) No. 46R-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” (FSP SFAS No. 140-4 and FIN No. 46R-8). This statement increases the disclosure requirements regarding continuing involvement with financial assets that have been transferred, as well as the company’s involvement with variable interest entities. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for interim periods ending after Dec. 15, 2008. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a significant effect on its financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-1 “Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No.13 and other Pronouncements that Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13” and No. 157-2 “Effective Date of FASB No. 157”, which remove leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS No. 157 and defer its effective date for one year relative to certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. As a result, the application of the definition of fair value and related disclosures of SFAS No. 157 (as impacted by these two FSP’s) was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008 on a prospective basis with respect to fair value measurements of (a) nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the Company’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) and (b) all financial assets and liabilities. This adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The remaining aspects of SFAS No. 157 for which the effective date was deferred under FSP No. 157-2 are currently being evaluated by the company. Areas impacted by the deferral relate to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, but are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. This deferral applies to such items as nonfinancial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination (but not measured at fair value in subsequent periods) or nonfinancial long-lived asset groups measured at fair value for an impairment assessment. The effects of these remaining aspects of SFAS No. 157 are to be applied to fair value measurements prospectively beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect them to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active” (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157, which the Company adopted as of January 1, 2008, in cases where a market is not active. The Company has considered FSP 157-3 in its determination of estimated fair values as of December 31, 2008, and the impact was not material.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” (SFAS “161”) as amended and interpreted, which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format provides a more complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted, but not expected. Management is evaluating the potential effect this guidance may have on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 142-3, which amends the factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the cost of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The FSP requires an entity to consider its own assumptions about renewal or extension of the term of the arrangement, consistent with its expected use of the asset, and is an attempt to improve consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and the guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The FSP is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The statement is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent hierarchy for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are prepared in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles. Unlike Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With GAAP,” FAS No. 162 is directed to the entity rather than the auditor. The statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with GAAP,” and is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

In June 2008, FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” Under the FSP, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two- class method of computing EPS. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Note 2. Initial Public Offering

On April 30, 2007, the Company sold 33,000,000 Units, including 3,000,000 units from the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at an Offering price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 par value, and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 commencing the later of the completion of a Business Combination or July 24, 2008 and expiring April 23, 2011. The Company may redeem the Warrants, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $14.25 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

date on which the notice of redemption is given. In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants to be sold and issued in the Offering, the Company is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. The Company will not be obligated to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. Additionally, in the event that a registration is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and in no event (whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to settle the warrant exercise, whether by net cash settlement or otherwise. Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed and an investor in the Offering may effectively pay the full Unit price solely for the shares of common stock included in the units (since the Warrants may expire worthless).

On April 30, 2007, pursuant to Subscription Agreements, dated January 30, 2007, certain of the Initial Stockholders purchased from the Company, in the aggregate, 5,000,000 warrants for $5,000,000 (the Sponsors’ Warrants”). All of the proceeds the Company received from these purchases were placed in the Trust Account. The Sponsors’ Warrants are identical to the Warrants underlying the Units in the Offering except that if the Company calls the Warrants for redemption, the Sponsors’ Warrants will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are still held by the original purchasers or their affiliates. The purchasers of the Sponsors’ Warrants have agreed that the Sponsors’ Warrants will not be sold or transferred by them until after the Company has completed a business combination.

The Company’s Initial Stockholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution, but only with respect to those shares of common stock owned by them prior to the Offering; they will participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to any shares of common stock acquired in connection with or following the Offering.

Note 3. Offering Costs

Offering costs incurred through April 30, 2007 were charged to capital at the time of the closing of the Offering.

Note 4. Notes Payable, Stockholders

On January 12, 2007, the Company issued two $87,500 (a total of $175,000) unsecured promissory notes to two Initial Stockholders, who are also officers and directors of the Company. The notes were non-interest bearing and became payable upon the consummation of the Offering. These notes were fully repaid.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has an agreement with the underwriters in the Offering (“the Underwriting Agreement”). The agreement required the Company to pay 3.8% of the gross proceeds as an underwriting discount plus an additional 3.2% of the gross proceeds only upon consummation of a Business Combination for a total of 7%. The Company paid an underwriting discount of 3.8% ($12,540,000) and the remaining portion of the underwriters discount of 3.2% ($10,560,000) of the gross proceeds was put into the Trust Account. The Company will not pay any discount related to the warrants sold in the private placement that was consummated simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering.

The Initial Stockholders and holders of the Sponsors’ Warrants (or underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights with respect to their founding shares or Sponsors’ Warrants (or underlying securities), as the

case may be, pursuant to an agreement dated April 24, 2007. The holders of the majority of the founding shares are entitled to demand that the Company register these shares at any time commencing nine months after the consummation of a Business Combination. The holders of the Sponsors’ Warrants (or underlying securities) are entitled to demand that the Company register such securities at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders and holders of the Sponsors’ Warrants (or underlying securities) have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed after the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination.

The Company hired a consultant on March 20, 2008 to perform services through the earlier of March 20, 2009 or completion of a business combination. The Company will pay the consultant a base fee equivalent to £33,000 (approximately $50,000) per year. The Company will also issue 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to this consultant upon the closing of the initial Business Combination by the Company.

The Company engaged Petrina Advisors, Inc. on May 19, 2008 to perform consulting services through the earlier of April 24, 2009 or upon the closing of a business combination. The Company will pay this consultancy firm a base fee of $192,000 per year and the Company will issue to them 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon the closing of the initial Business Combination by the Company.

The Company had an agreement with Ironbound Partners, an affiliate of Jonathan J. Ledecky one of the Company’s executive officers, for various office and administrative services. This agreement commenced on April 24, 2007, the effective date of the Offering, was terminated by the Company as of July 1, 2007. From April 24, 2007 through July 1, 2007 the Company paid no rent expense to this affiliate related to this agreement. From January 12, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2007 the Company paid $12,500 for rent and office related fees to unrelated third parties.

Note 6. Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

The underwriting agreement prohibits the Company, prior to a Business Combination, from issuing preferred stock which participates in the proceeds of the Trust Account or which votes as a class with the common stock on a Business Combination.

Note 7. Common Sock

Effective April 24, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of common stock. On April 24, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 shares of common stock to 85,000,000 shares of common stock.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were 38,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of warrants and the Sponsors’ Warrants. As of December 31, 2008 there were 38,000,000 warrants outstanding.

Note 8. Income Taxes

On January 12, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB

 

F-52

VICTORY ACQUISITION CORP.

(a development stage enterprise)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company has identified its federal tax return and its Wyoming tax returns as its “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on January 12, 2007 the evaluation was performed for the tax years 2008 and 2007. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the period from January 12, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2007 and for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefit position to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Corporate taxes payable as of December 31 consisted of the following:

Deferred income taxes, if applicable, are provided for the differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. There are no deferred tax assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes with amounts computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate to income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes is as follows:

Note 10. Subsequent Event

On February 10, 2009, the Company received notice from the NYSE Amex US indicating that the Company was below certain additional continued listing standards of the exchange, specifically that the Company had not held an annual meeting of stockholders in 2008, as set forth in Section 704 of the Company Guide. The notification from the exchange indicated that the Company had until March 10, 2009 to submit a plan advising the exchange of action the Company would take to bring the Company into compliance with all continued listing standards by August 11, 2009. The Company submitted the plan on February 23, 2009. The exchange is now evaluating the plan and will make a determination as to whether the Company has made a reasonable demonstration in the plan of an ability to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. If the plan is accepted, the Company will be able to continue listing, during which time the Company will be subject to continued periodic review by the exchange’s staff. If the Company’s plan is not accepted, the exchange could initiate delisting procedures against the Company.

B. The board of directors of each of Parent and the Company has determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, its respective company and stockholders.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows (defined terms used in this Agreement are listed alphabetically in Article IX, together with the Section and, if applicable, paragraph number in which the definition of each such term is located):

The allocation of the Unused Barfly Shares to the Recipients and the holders at the Closing of Warrants and Other Rights shall be made in the same proportion as their share of the total Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (on a converted-to-Company Common Stock basis and ignoring for such purpose any participating preference payable in respect of any Preferred Stock).

1.6 Exchange Procedures .

(a) Prior to the mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined in Section 5.1(a)), Parent shall appoint a reputable bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as exchange agent (the “ Exchange Agent ”) for the issuance of the Merger Shares.

(b) The Exchange Agent shall make all computations contemplated by Section 1.5 and any such computation shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock, except for manifest mathematical error.

Upon return receipt by the Exchange Agent of a validly executed and delivered Letter of Transmittal, the Exchange Agent shall issue to the corresponding Recipient the number of Merger Shares (less the applicable Escrow Shares), and the Company Certificates shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Company Certificates will be deemed, from and after the

Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the applicable Merger Shares pursuant to Section 1.5. Separate certificates shall be issued for each Recipient’s Escrow Shares (as defined in Section 1.11) and for the balance of the Merger Shares to which such Recipient is entitled.

(d) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit in trust with the Exchange Agent, the aggregate Merger Shares (less the Escrow Shares).

(e) [Intentionally omitted.]

(f) If payment is to be made to a Recipient other than the Person in whose name a surrendered Company Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Company Certificate so surrendered must be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and the Person who surrenders the Company Certificate must provide funds for payment of any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the surrendered Company Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(g) At any time which is more than 180 days after the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any Merger Shares deposited with the Exchange Agent and have not been disbursed in accordance with Article I of the Agreement, and after the shares have been delivered to Parent, Persons entitled to Merger Shares in accordance with Article I shall be entitled to look solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for issuance thereof upon surrender of the Company Certificates held by them. Any Merger Shares remaining unclaimed as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such shares would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Neither Parent nor the Exchange Agent will be liable to any Person entitled to payment under Article I for any consideration which is delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

1.7 No Distributions Until Surrender of Company Certificates . No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date of this Agreement with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holders of any Company Certificates that have not yet been surrendered with respect to the Merger Shares to be issued upon surrender thereof until the holders of record of such Company Certificates shall surrender such certificates. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Company Certificates, Parent shall promptly deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the certificates representing the Merger Shares issued in exchange therefor and the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Merger Shares.

1.8 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates . In the event that any Company Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the certificates representing the Merger Shares that the shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock formerly represented by such Company Certificates were converted into and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7; provided, however, that, as a condition precedent to the issuance of such certificates representing Merger Shares and other distributions, the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates shall indemnify Parent against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corp with respect to the Company Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.9 Tax Consequences . It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Income Tax Regulations.

1.10 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action . If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest Parent with full right, title and

 

9

---

Table of Contents

possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Parent, the then current officers and directors of Parent, and the officers and directors of the Company shall take all such lawful and necessary action.

1.11 Escrow . As the sole remedy for the indemnification obligations set forth in Article VII of this Agreement, 10% of the Merger Shares, excluding the Escrowed EBITDA Shares, issuable in the Merger (the “ Escrow Shares ”), shall be deposited in escrow (the “ Escrow Account ”), which shall be allocated among the Recipients in the same proportion as their proportionate share of the total Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (on a converted-to-Company Common Stock basis and ignoring for such purpose any participating preference payable in respect of any Preferred Stock), all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement to be entered into at the Closing between Parent, the Representative, and Continental (or such other Person as may be agreed by Parent and the Representative), as escrow agent (“ Escrow Agent ”), substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “ Escrow Agreement ”). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that on the 30 ^th day after the date Parent has filed with the SEC its Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2009 on Form 10-K, but in no event later than twelve months after the Closing (the “ Escrow Release Date ”), the Escrow Agent shall release the Escrow Shares, less that portion thereof applied in satisfaction of or reserved with respect to indemnification claims in connection with claims made pursuant to Section 7.1(a) of this Agreement (“ Escrow Claims ”). Any Escrow Shares due to be released on the Escrow Release Date that continue to be held with respect to any unresolved Escrow Claim shall be delivered to the Recipients in the same proportions as originally deposited into escrow, promptly upon such resolution, subject to reduction, if any, for the indemnification obligation associated with such resolved Escrow Claim.

1.12 Committee and Representative for Purposes of Escrow Agreements .

(a) Parent Committee . Prior to the Closing, the Board of Directors of Parent shall appoint a committee consisting of one or more of its then members to act on behalf of Parent to take all necessary actions and make all decisions pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and the EBITDA Shares Escrow Agreement (as defined in Section 1.16). In the event of a vacancy in such committee, the board of directors of Parent shall appoint as a successor a Person who was a director of Parent prior to the Closing Date or, in the event of an inability to appoint same, another Person who would qualify as an “independent” director of Parent and who has not had any relationship with the Company or the Stockholder prior to the Closing. Such committee is intended to be the “ Committee ” referred to in Article VII hereof and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Representative . Vantage is hereby appointed by the Company (and by execution of this Agreement hereby accepts such appointment) as the representative of the Recipients (the “ Representative ”), with respect to the taking by the Representative of any and all actions and the making of any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Representative under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or EBITDA Shares Escrow Agreement. Should the Representative resign or be unable to serve, a new Representative will be selected jointly by a vote of the Recipients who, at Closing, received a majority of the Merger Shares, whose appointment shall be effective upon execution by such successor of a joinder agreement providing for such successor to become a party to the Escrow Agreement, the EBITDA Shares Escrow Agreement and this Agreement as the Representative, in which case such successor shall for all purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and EBITDA Shares Escrow Agreement be the Representative (and the prior acts taken by the succeeded Representative shall remain valid for purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the EBITDA Shares Escrow Agreement). If such Recipients are unable to appoint a Person to serve in the capacity of Representative within 15 days of the date that the former Representative resigned or became unable to serve, a new Representative shall be selected by majority vote of those Persons on Parent’s board of directors who served on the board of directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Representative shall not be liable to Recipients for any liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense incurred without gross negligence by the Representative while acting in good faith and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the

Table of Contents

advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith). From and after the Effective Time, a decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative shall be final, binding and conclusive and not subject to challenge by any Recipient. Parent and Surviving Corporation are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by Representative and any acts done by Parent or Surviving Corporation in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative. Parent, Parent and each of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the power and authority of the Representative without independent investigation.

1.13 Stockholder Matters .

(a) Each Stockholder for himself, herself or itself only, represents and warrants as follows:

(i) he, she or it has had both the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the officers and directors of Parent and all persons acting on Parent’s behalf concerning the business and operations of Parent and to obtain any additional information to the extent Parent possesses or may possess such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense necessary to verify the accuracy of such information;

(ii) he, she or it has had access to the Parent SEC Reports filed prior to the date of this Agreement;

(iii) that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder does not, and the performance of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Entity (as defined), except (1) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“ Securities Act ”), the Exchange Act, state securities laws (“ Blue Sky Laws ”), and the rules and regulations thereunder, and (2) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 10.2(a)) on such Stockholder or the Company or, after the Closing, Parent, or prevent consummation of the Merger or otherwise prevent the parties hereto from performing their material obligations under this Agreement; and

(iv) that he, she or it owns the Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock listed on Schedule 2.3(a) as being owned by him, her or it free and clear of all Liens.

1.15 Treatment of the Company Derivative Securities . Each option to purchase Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “ Prior Option ”) shall, at the Effective Time, be cancelled and substituted with an option (the “ Substitute Option ”) under the Parent Plan (as defined Section 5.1(a)) to purchase that number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Prior Option immediately before the Effective Time by the Exchange Amount (and rounding down to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock of each Substitute Option shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price for all shares of Company Common Stock subject to the associated Prior Option divided by the number of shares of Parent Company Stock subject to the Substitute Option. The Substitute Option shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions (including exercise periods) as were applicable under the associated Prior Option. The option substitution described in this Section 1.15 shall be made with respect to nonqualified stock options in accordance with Treas.

The Warrants and Other Rights shall be further adjusted pursuant to Section 1.16, if the EBITDA Satisfaction Event occurs.

1.16 EBITDA Shares .

(a) At the Closing, Parent shall issue the Escrowed EBITDA Shares, which shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent and held pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “ EBITDA Shares Escrow Agreement ”). The EBITDA Shares Escrow Agreement shall provide for the Escrowed EBITDA Shares to be either (i) delivered to the Recipients and the holders of Substitute Options (“ Option Holders ”) in the same proportion as their proportionate share of the total Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (on a converted-to-Company Common Stock basis and ignoring for such purpose any participating preference payable in respect of any Preferred Stock, and, in the case of Option Holders, the proportionate share is based on the shares of Company Common Stock covered by the Prior Options held by the Option Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time) or (ii) returned to Parent for cancellation, as provided in this Section 1.16.

(b) Not more than 5 business days after the filing of the Parent’s Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, after the end of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the second fiscal quarter end following the Effective Time, Parent shall determine the EBITDA for the previous two fiscal quarters, taken together as a single period, and deliver to Representative a statement (the “ EBITDA Statement ”) setting forth Parent’s calculation of EBITDA for such fiscal quarters, with appropriate detail showing the calculations made therein.

(c) If, within 30 days following receipt of the EBITDA Statement by Representative, Representative has not given Parent written notice of objection to such EBITDA Statement, then the EBITDA Statement shall be deemed final and binding on the parties. The EBITDA Statement shall also be deemed final and binding when Representative delivers written notice to Parent that it agrees with the calculations set forth in the EBITDA Statement. If Representative gives such notice of objection, and the items in dispute cannot be resolved by agreement between Parent and Representative within 10 days following Parent’s receipt of Representative’s written objection, the issues in dispute will be submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, with instructions to the Independent Accountant to determine EBITDA in accordance with the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement. If issues in dispute are submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, (a) each of Parent and Representative will furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent

(d) If EBITDA, as measured at the end of any fiscal quarter, determined pursuant to Section 1.16 above, is equal to or greater than $50 million (the “ EBITDA Satisfaction Event ”), then Parent and Representative shall, within 5 business days after EBITDA is final and binding on the parties, instruct the Escrow Agent in accordance with the EBITDA Shares Escrow Agreement to release the Escrowed EBITDA Shares to the Recipients and Option Holders (whether or not such Substitute Options remain outstanding at such time, provided, however, that Escrowed EBITDA Shares released to Option Holders shall be subject to the same vesting requirements as the associated Substitute Options and, if before the release of Escrowed EBITDA Shares, an Option Holder has forfeited all or a portion of a Substituted Option, the Option Holder shall forfeit the Escrowed EBITDA Shares to the same extent).

(e) Upon the occurrence of the EBITDA Satisfaction Event, all Warrants and Other Rights shall be further adjusted in accordance with their terms.

(f) If any Parent Common Stock is issued in respect of any Warrants and Other Rights prior to the EBITDA Satisfaction Event, then promptly following the EBITDA Satisfaction Event, Parent shall issue to the former holders of such Warrants and Other Rights, such number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock as such holders would have received if such shares of Parent Common Stock were issued after the EBITDA Satisfaction Event (giving effect to the adjustments provided for in Section 1.16(e)).

(g) If an EBITDA Satisfaction Event has not occurred on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing of the Merger, all certificates evidencing the Escrowed EBITDA Shares shall be returned to Parent and the same shall be immediately cancelled.

(h) The following terms have the following meanings, for purposes of this Agreement:

“ Aggregate EBITDA Shares ” means 9,500,000 shares of Parent Common Stock.

“ EBITDA ” means, for any period of two fiscal quarters, an amount determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP for Parent and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, equal to their (i) net income, plus (ii) interest expense, plus (iii) income Taxes, plus (iv) depreciation expense, plus (v) amortization expense, plus (vi) non-recurring, non-operating expense, in each case for such period.

“ Escrowed EBITDA Shares ” means (i) the Aggregate EBITDA Shares, multiplied by (A) (1) the Issued Company Shares, plus (2) the Total Company Option Shares, divided by (B) (1) the Total Company Option and Warrant Shares plus (2) the Issued Company Shares, minus (3) the Unvested Option Shares.

participate (at its expense and with counsel of its choice) in, the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim as to which such Notice of Claim has been given, and shall be entitled to appoint a recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Representative to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense. If the Indemnifying Representative is permitted and elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim:

(i) the Indemnifying Representative shall diligently and in good faith defend such Third Party Claim and shall keep the Indemnified Representative reasonably informed of the status of such defense; provided, however, that the Indemnified Representative shall have the right to approve any settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned except to the extent the settlement relates solely to monetary damages that are indemnified fully under Section 7.1; and

(ii) The Indemnified Representative shall cooperate fully in all respects with the Indemnifying Representative in any such defense, compromise or settlement thereof, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, and the Indemnified Representative shall make available to the Indemnifying Representative all pertinent information and documents under its control.

(c) Limitations of Right to Assume Defense . The Indemnifying Representative shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks, as one of its principal claims, an injunction or equitable relief against an Indemnitee; or (iii) there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnitee other than as a result of money damages or other money payments.

(d) Other Limitations . Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available data shall not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any Third Party Claim by an Indemnitee against the Indemnifying Representative and shall not affect the Indemnifying Representative’s duty or obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have adversely affected the ability of the Indemnifying Representative to defend against or reduce its liability or caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages to the Indemnitee to be greater than such damages would have been had the Indemnified Representative given the Indemnifying Representative prompt notice hereunder. So long as the Indemnifying Representative is defending any such action actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Representative shall not settle such action without the consent of the Indemnifying Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnified Representative shall make available to the Indemnifying Representative all relevant records and other relevant materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Representative, for the use of the Indemnifying Representative and its representatives in defending any such action, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

(e) Failure to Defend . If the Indemnifying Representative, promptly after receiving a Notice of Claim, fails to defend such Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Representative, subject to the limitations of Section 7.4, will (upon further written notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim as it may determine in its reasonable discretion, provided that the Indemnifying Representative shall have the right to approve any settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(f) Indemnitee Rights . Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Representative shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Representative, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to each of the Indemnitees of a full and unconditional release from all liability and obligation in respect of such action without any payment by any Indemnitee.

7.3 Insurance and Tax Effect .

(a) To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII are covered by insurance, the Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; provided that the Indemnitees shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article VII in respect of such Losses.

(b) To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII are deductible for income tax purposes by an Indemnitee, the amount of any Loss shall be reduced by the income tax savings to such party as a result of the payment of such Loss.

(b) Any indemnification claim made by an Indemnitee in writing prior to the termination of the Survival Period shall be preserved despite the subsequent termination of the Survival Period and any claim set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the expiration of such Survival Period shall survive until final resolution thereof. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, (i) no claim for indemnification under this Article VII shall be brought after the end of the Survival Period, and (ii) the indemnification rights of the Indemnitees under this Article VII shall terminate and be of no further force or effect; provided that, until the first anniversary of the Escrow Release Date (the “ Extended Indemnity Period ”), a Company Indemnitee may bring a claim for indemnification under this Article VII for any claims, action, suit or proceeding, to the extent arising out of or resulting from the actions taken by Parent in accordance with Section 5.20 or any agreement between Parent and the Company contemplated thereby. For purposes of the proviso in this subsection (b), any indemnification claim made by a Company Indemnitee in writing prior to the expiration of the Extended Indemnity Period shall be preserved despite the subsequent expiration of the Extended Indemnity Period and any claim set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the expiration of such Extended Indemnity Period shall survive until final resolution thereof.

(c) Deductible . No amount shall be payable under Article VII to a Parent Indemnitee unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable to Parent Indemnitees exceeds $500,000 (the “ Deductible ”), in which event the amount payable shall be only the amount in excess of the Deductible. No amount shall be payable under Article VII to a Company Indemnitee unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable to Company Indemnitees exceeds the Deductible, in which event the amount payable shall be only the amount in excess of the Deductible.

7.5 Exclusive Remedy . The parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, the sole remedy of the Indemnitees with respect to any and all claims for damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant and subject to the requirements of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article VII shall in any way impair, modify or otherwise limit an Indemnitees’ right to bring any claim, demand or suit against the other party based upon such other party’s actual fraud.

7.6 Adjustment to Purchase Price . Amounts paid for indemnification under Article VII shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the “purchase price” paid to the Stockholders in connection with business combination between the Company and Parent, except as otherwise required by Law.

The parties acknowledge that the Representative’s obligations under this Article VII are solely as a representative of the Recipients in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement and under this Article VII and that the Representative shall have no personal responsibility for any expenses incurred by him in such capacity and that all payments to the Parent Indemnitees as a result of such indemnification obligations shall be made solely from, and to the extent of, the Escrow Shares. Out-of-pocket expenses of the Representative for attorneys’ fees and other costs shall be borne in the first instance by Parent, which may make a claim for reimbursement thereof against the Escrow Shares upon the claim with respect to which such expenses are incurred becoming an Established Claim (as defined in the Escrow Agreement). The parties further acknowledge that all actions to be taken by the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VII shall be taken on their behalf by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.

The Escrow Agent will hold the remaining portion of the Escrow Shares until final resolution of all claims for indemnification or disputes relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Escrow Shares remaining in escrow following the Final Escrow Release Date in excess of the Escrow Shares necessary to satisfy any timely filed claim for indemnification shall be released and delivered to the Persons entitled to them on such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Representative shall have no liability to the Company or any Stockholder or any party hereto for any action taken or omitted to be taken hereunder, unless such liability is determined by a judgment or a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the Representative. Parent shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Representative for all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of investigation) arising out of or in connection with, the performance by the Representative of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, unless such liability is determined by a judgment or a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the Representative.

In the event that Losses suffered by a Company Indemnitee are as a result of Losses suffered by Parent (by virtue of their ownership interest in Parent), then each Company Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover a percentage of such losses equal to such Company Indemnitee’s percentage ownership of Parent Common Stock.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

VICTORY ACQUISITION CORP.

 

 

Pursuant to Section 245 of the

Delaware General Corporation Law

 

 

VICTORY ACQUISITION CORP., a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Corporation”), by its President, hereby certifies as follows:

1. The name of the Corporation is “Victory Acquisition Corp.”

2. The Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation was filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 12, 2007 formerly under the name “Endeavor II Acquisition Corp.”

3. This Amended Restated Certificate of Incorporation restates, integrates and amends the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation.

4. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was duly adopted by joint written consent of the directors and stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 141(f), 228, 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“GCL”).

5. The text of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is hereby amended and restated to read in full as follows:

FIRST: The name of the corporation is TouchTunes Corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Corporation”).

SECOND: The registered office of the Corporation is to be located at 615 S. DuPont Hwy., Kent County, Dover, Delaware. The name of its registered agent at that address is National Corporate Research, Ltd.

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation shall be to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the GCL.

FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 301,000,000 of which 300,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock of the par value of $.0001 per share and 1,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock of the par value of $.0001 per share.

A. Preferred Stock . Subject to paragraph F of Article SEVENTH, The Board of Directors is expressly granted authority to issue shares of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) and as may be permitted by the GCL. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation.

---

Table of Contents

B. Common Stock . Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any Preferred Stock Designation, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power and each share of Common Stock shall have one vote.

FIFTH: Intentionally Omitted.

SIXTH: The Corporation’s existence shall be perpetual.

SEVENTH: The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class A, Class B and Class C. The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. The directors in Class A shall be elected for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2010, the directors in Class B shall be elected for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2011 and the directors in Class C shall be elected for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2012. Commencing at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2010, and at each annual meeting thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Except as the GCL may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the Corporation’s Bylaws), or by the sole remaining director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

EIGHTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

A. Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the by-laws of the Corporation so provide.

B. The Board of Directors shall have the power, without the assent or vote of the stockholders, to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the by-laws of the Corporation as provided in the by-laws of the Corporation, subject to the power of stockholders to alter or repeal any by-law whether adopted by them or otherwise.

C. The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation which is represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote thereat (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy), unless a higher vote is required by applicable law, shall be as valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason.

D. In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of this Certificate of Incorporation, and to any by-laws from time to time made by the stockholders; provided, however, that no by-law so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such by-law had not been made.

NINTH: A. A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the GCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the GCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the GCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph A by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

B. The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the GCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.

TENTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.

ELEVENTH: The Corporation hereby elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed by Jonathan J. Ledecky, its President, as of the      day of                     , 2009.

Annex C

EXHIBIT VERSION

ESCROW AGREEMENT

ESCROW AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated                     , 2009 by and among VICTORY ACQUISITION CORP (“Parent”), VANTAGEPOINT CDP PARTNERS, L.P., as the representative (the “Representative”) of all Recipients, and CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

Parent, VAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), TouchTunes Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and the Representative are parties to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of March 23, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub has merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity of such merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent is to be indemnified in certain respects. The parties desire to establish an escrow fund as collateral security for the foregoing indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement. The Representative has been designated pursuant to the Merger Agreement to represent all of the Recipients of the Merger Shares and each Permitted Transferee (as hereinafter defined) of the Recipients (the Recipients and all such Permitted Transferees are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Owners”), and to act on their behalf for purposes of this Agreement.

The parties agree as follows:

1. (a) Promptly following the execution hereof, an aggregate of              Merger Shares issuable to the Recipients in accordance with the allocation set forth on Schedule 1(a) attached hereto are being delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held and distributed in accordance with this Agreement and Section 1.11 of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Shares represented by the stock certificates so delivered to the Escrow Agent are herein referred to in the aggregate as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Agent shall maintain a separate account for each Recipient’s, and, subsequent to any transfer permitted pursuant to Paragraph 1(e) hereof, each Owner’s, portion of the Escrow Fund.

(b) The Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act as escrow agent and to hold, safeguard and disburse the Escrow Fund solely pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof. It shall treat the Escrow Fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of Parent. The Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder shall terminate upon its distribution of the entire Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Except as herein provided, the Owners shall retain all of their rights as stockholders of Parent with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Escrow Fund during the period the Escrow Fund is held by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Period”), including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Escrow Fund.

(d) During the Escrow Period, all dividends payable in cash with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock then contained in the Escrow Fund shall be paid to the Owners, but all dividends payable in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-Cash Dividends”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow Fund” shall be deemed to include the Non-Cash Dividends distributed thereon, if any.

(e) During the Escrow Period, no sale, transfer or other disposition may be made of any or all of the shares of Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Fund except (i) to a “Permitted Transferee” (as hereinafter defined), (ii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of any Owner, or (iii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; provided, however, that such permitted transfers may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall include: (x) members of a Recipient’s “Immediate Family” (as hereinafter defined); (y) an entity in which (A) a Recipient and/or

---

Table of Contents

members of a Recipient’s Immediate Family beneficially own 100% of such entity’s voting and non-voting equity securities, or (B) a Recipient and/or a member of such Recipient’s Immediate Family is a general partner and in which such Recipient and/or members of such Recipient’s Immediate Family beneficially own 100% of all capital accounts of such entity; and (z) a revocable trust established by a Recipient during his lifetime for the benefit of such Recipient or for the exclusive benefit of all or any of such Recipient’s Immediate Family. As used in this Agreement, the term “Immediate Family” means, with respect to any Recipient, a spouse, Parent, lineal descendants, the spouse of any lineal descendant, and brothers and sisters (or a trust, all of whose current beneficiaries are members of an Immediate Family of the Recipient). In connection with and as a condition to each permitted transfer, the Permitted Transferee shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an assignment separate from certificate executed by the transferring Recipient or where applicable, an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, evidencing the transfer of shares to the Permitted Transferee, with respect to the shares transferred to the Permitted Transferee. Upon receipt of such documents, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Parent’s transfer agent the original stock certificate out of which the assigned shares are to be transferred, together with the executed assignment separate from certificate executed by the transferring Recipient, or a copy of the applicable court order, and shall request that Parent issue new certificates representing (m) the number of shares, if any, that continue to be owned by the transferring Recipient, and (n) the number of shares owned by the Permitted Transferee as the result of such transfer. Parent, the transferring Recipient and the Permitted Transferee shall cooperate in all respects with the Escrow Agent in documenting each such transfer and in effectuating the result intended to be accomplished thereby. During the Escrow Period, no Owner shall pledge or grant a security interest in such Owner’s shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Escrow Fund or grant a security interest in such Owner’s rights under this Agreement.

2. (a) Parent, acting through the current member or members of Parent’s board of directors who has or have been appointed by Parent to take all necessary actions and make all decisions on behalf of Parent with respect to its rights to indemnification under Article VII of the Merger Agreement (the “Committee”), may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to the Merger Agreement (“Indemnification Claim”) against the Escrow Fund by giving notice (a “Notice”) to the Representative (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) specifying (i) the covenant, representation, warranty, agreement, undertaking or obligation contained in the Merger Agreement which it asserts has been breached or otherwise entitles Parent to indemnification, (ii) in reasonable detail, the nature and dollar amount of any Indemnification Claim and (iii) whether the Indemnification Claim results from a Third Party Claim against Parent or the Company. The Committee also shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Representative), concurrently with its delivery to the Escrow Agent of the Notice, a certification as to the date on which the Notice was delivered to the Representative.

(b) If the Representative shall give a notice to the Committee (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) (a “Counter Notice”), within 30 days following the date of receipt (as specified in the Committee’s certification) by the Representative of a copy of the Notice, disputing whether the Indemnification Claim is indemnifiable under the Merger Agreement, the Committee and the Representative shall attempt to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement as provided in paragraph 2(c) below. If no Counter Notice with respect to an Indemnification Claim is received by the Escrow Agent from the Representative within such 30-day period, the Indemnification Claim shall be deemed to be an Established Claim (as hereinafter defined) for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) If the Representative delivers a Counter Notice to the Escrow Agent, the Committee and the Representative shall, during the period of 60 days following the delivery of such Counter Notice or such greater period of time as the parties may agree to in writing (with a copy to the Escrow Agent), attempt to resolve the dispute with respect to which the Counter Notice was given. If the Committee and the Representative shall reach a settlement with respect to any such dispute, they shall jointly deliver written notice of such settlement to the Escrow Agent specifying the terms thereof. If the Committee and the Representative shall be unable to reach a settlement with respect to a dispute, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to paragraph 2(d) below.

Table of Contents

(d) If the Committee and the Representative cannot resolve a dispute prior to expiration of the 60-day period referred to in paragraph 2(c) above (or such longer period as the parties may have agreed to in writing), then such dispute shall be submitted (and either party may submit such dispute) for arbitration before a single arbitrator in Wilmington, Delaware, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect and the provisions of Section 10.8 of the Merger Agreement to the extent that such provisions do not conflict with the provisions of this paragraph. The Committee and the Representative shall attempt to agree upon an arbitrator; if they shall be unable to agree upon an arbitrator within 10 days after the dispute is submitted for arbitration, then either the Committee or the Representative, upon written notice to the other, may apply for appointment of such single arbitrator by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules. Parent shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel for the parties and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and of other expenses of the arbitration. The arbitrator shall render his decision within 90 days after his appointment. Such decision and award shall be in writing and shall be final and conclusive on the parties, and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to each of the parties. Judgment may be obtained on the decision of the arbitrator so rendered in any court having jurisdiction, and may be enforced in any such court. If the arbitrator shall fail to render his decision or award within such 90-day period, either the Committee or the Representative may apply to any Delaware state court sitting in New Castle County, Delaware, or any federal court sitting in such county then having jurisdiction, by action, proceeding or otherwise, as may be proper to determine the matter in dispute consistently with the provisions of this Agreement. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware state courts sitting in New Castle County or any federal court having jurisdiction and sitting in such county for this purpose. The prevailing party (or either party, in the case of a decision or award rendered in part for each party) shall send a copy of the arbitration decision or of any judgment of the court to the Escrow Agent.

(e) As used in this Agreement, “Established Claim” means any (i) Indemnification Claim deemed established pursuant to the last sentence of paragraph 2(b) above, (ii) Indemnification Claim resolved in favor of Parent by settlement pursuant to paragraph 2(c) above, resulting in a dollar award to Parent, (iii) Indemnification Claim established by the decision of an arbitrator pursuant to paragraph 2(d) above, resulting in a dollar award to Parent, (iv) Third Party Claim that has been sustained by a final determination (after exhaustion of any appeals) of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (v) Third Party Claim that the Committee and the Representative have jointly notified the Escrow Agent has been settled in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement; provided that, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, no Indemnification Claim shall become an Established Claim unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnification Losses, as set forth in Section 7.4(c) of the Merger Agreement, exceeds $500,000, in which event the amount payable shall only be the amount in excess of $500,000.

(f)(i) Promptly after an Indemnification Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Committee and the Representative shall jointly deliver a notice to the Escrow Agent (a “Joint Notice”) directing the Escrow Agent to pay to Parent, and the Escrow Agent promptly shall pay to Parent, an amount of Escrow Shares, subject to the provisions of Sections 2(f)(ii) and (iii), equal to the aggregate dollar amount of the Established Claim (or, if at such time there remains in the Escrow Fund less than the full amount so payable, the full amount remaining in the Escrow Fund).

(ii) Payment of an Established Claim shall be made from Escrow Shares having an aggregate “Fair Market Value” (as defined below) equal to the amount of the Established Claim, pro rata from the account maintained on behalf of each Owner. In no event, however, shall the Escrow Agent be required to calculate Fair Market Value or make a determination of the number of shares to be delivered to Parent in satisfaction of any Established Claim; rather, such calculation shall be included in and made part of the Joint Notice. The Escrow Agent shall transfer to Parent out of the Escrow Fund that number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to satisfy each Established Claim, as set out in the Joint Notice. Any dispute between the Committee and the Representative concerning the calculation of Fair Market Value or the number of shares necessary to satisfy any Established Claim, or any other dispute regarding a Joint Notice, shall be resolved between the Committee and the Representative in

Table of Contents

accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph 2(d) above, and shall not involve the Escrow Agent. Each transfer of shares in satisfaction of an Established Claim shall be made by the Escrow Agent delivering to Parent one or more stock certificates held in each Owner’s account evidencing not less than such Owner’s pro rata portion of the aggregate number of shares specified in the Joint Notice. Upon receipt of the stock certificates, Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent new certificates representing the number of shares owned by each Owner after such payment. The parties hereto (other than the Escrow Agent) agree that the foregoing right to make payments of Established Claims in shares of Parent Common Stock may be made notwithstanding any other agreements restricting or limiting the ability of any Owner to sell any shares of Parent Common Stock or otherwise. The Committee and the Representative shall be required to exercise utmost good faith in all matters relating to the preparation and delivery of each Joint Notice. As used in this Section 2, “Fair Market Value” of a share of Parent Common Stock means the average reported closing price for the Parent Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the day the Established Claim is paid.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at such time as an Indemnification Claim has become an Established Claim, each Recipient shall have the right to substitute for his, her or its Escrow Shares that otherwise would be paid in satisfaction of such claim (the “Claim Shares”), cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Claim Shares (“Substituted Cash”). In such event (i) the Joint Notice shall include a statement describing the substitution of Substituted Cash for the Claim Shares, and (ii) substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of such Joint Notice, the Representative shall cause currently available funds to be delivered to the Escrow Agent in an amount equal to the Substituted Cash. Upon receipt of such Joint Notice and Substituted Cash, the Escrow Agent shall (y) in payment of the Established Claim described in the Joint Notice, deliver the Substituted Cash to Parent in lieu of the Claim Shares, and (z) cause the Claim Shares to be returned to the Representative on behalf of the applicable Recipients.

3. (a) On the first Business Day after the Escrow Release Date, the Committee and the Representative shall jointly deliver a notice to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund all of the Escrow Shares then constituting same, unless at such time there are any Indemnity Claims with respect to which Indemnity Notices have been received but which have not been resolved pursuant to Section 2 hereof or in respect of which the Escrow Agent has not been notified of, and received a copy of, a final determination (after exhaustion of any appeals) by a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be (in either case, “Pending Claims”), and which, if resolved or finally determined in favor of Parent, would result in a payment to Parent, in which case the Escrow Agent shall retain, and the total amount of such distributions to such Owner shall be reduced by, the “Pending Claims Reserve” (as hereafter defined). Any portion of the Escrow Fund due to be released on the Escrow Release Date shall be delivered to each Recipient (subject to permitted transfers hereunder) in the same proportion as set forth on Schedule 1(a) . The Escrow Agent shall distribute and deliver to each Recipient (or its permitted transferee) certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock (and any cash that may comprise a part of the Escrow Fund) to which such person is entitled. The Committee shall certify to the Escrow Agent the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be retained therefor. Thereafter, if any Pending Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Committee and the Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to deliver to Parent the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve reserved with respect to such Pending Claims having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of the Established Claims, determined pursuant to paragraph 3(b), and to deliver to each Owner the remaining shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Pending Claim, all as specified in a Joint Notice. If any Pending Claim is resolved against Parent, the Committee and the Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a Joint Notice directing the Escrow Agent to pay to each Owner its pro rata portion of the number of shares allocated to such Pending Claim in the Pending Claims Reserve.

(b) As used in this Section 3, the “Pending Claims Reserve” shall mean, at the time the Pending Claims Reserve is established, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Escrow Fund having a Fair Market Value equal to the sum of the aggregate dollar amounts claimed to be due with respect to all Pending Claims (as shown in the Notices of such Claims) and “Fair Market Value” means the average reported

The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

(c) The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility upon receipt of any notice requiring any payment to Parent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or, if such notice is disputed by the Committee or the Representative, the settlement with respect to any such dispute, whether by virtue of joint resolution, arbitration or determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, is to pay to Parent the amount specified in such notice, if any, and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to determine the validity, authenticity or enforceability of any specification or certification made in such notice.

(d) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, and may consult with counsel of its own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and indemnification under Section 5(f), below, for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

(1)

sell or offer or contract to sell or offer, grant any option or warrant for the sale of, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of (all being referred to as a “Transfer”) any legal or beneficial interest in any shares of stock, $.0001 par value, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”), owned by the undersigned immediately following the Merger (including all Merger Shares) or otherwise received in connection with the Merger as contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Restricted Securities”), or

 

(2)

enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of any of the Restricted Securities, whether such swap transaction is to be settled by delivery of any Restricted Securities or other securities of any person, in cash or otherwise,

Re:

Merger with TouchTunes Corporation

Dear Sirs:

We have acted as counsel to Victory Acquisition Corp. (“Victory”), a Delaware corporation, in connection with the proposed merger of VAC Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and TouchTunes Corporation. You have requested our opinion in connection with the federal income tax consequences of the proposed merger to Victory and the stockholders of Victory.

FACTS

The relevant facts are set forth in the Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2009, File No. 333-158171, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), and the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 23, 2009, among Victory, Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Victory, and TouchTunes Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“TouchTunes”) (“Merger Agreement”). For purposes of this opinion we have assumed and rely upon the truth and accuracy of the facts as set forth in the aforesaid documents.

A summary of the facts follows. Victory was organized January 12, 2007 to effect a business combination with an operating business in any industry other than the franchising, financial services or healthcare industries. On April 30, 2007, Victory closed its initial public offering of 33,000,000 units consisting of one share of its common stock (“Public Shares”) and one warrant generating total gross proceeds of $330,000,000. Through December 31, 2008, $330,144,844 was held in the trust fund. The Victory common stock, units and warrants are currently listed on the NYSE Amex under the symbols VRY, VRY.U and VRY.WS, respectively.

TouchTunes develops, manufactures and sells interactive digital entertainment systems, providing innovative digital entertainment content and highly-targeted advertising services to a network of approximately 38,000 out-of-home locations in North America, such as bars, restaurants, retailers and other businesses. These services are provided, under a usage-based revenue model, through long-term agreements with TouchTunes’ distribution channel of more than 2,800 amusement vendor operators and through direct sales to national and regional chains, primarily restaurants. TouchTunes’ wholly-owned subsidiary, TouchTunes Music Corporation introduced the world’s first digital-downloading, pay-per-play commercial jukebox in 1998 and now operates one of the largest out-of-home interactive entertainment networks in the United States. Since mid-2007, TouchTunes has expanded its entertainment network offering, through acquisitions and product development, to include a wireless, portable entertainment system, an interactive advertising platform on the jukebox and an in-location television-based advertising and content solution.

Under the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Merger Sub will merge with and into TouchTunes with TouchTunes being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory.

Victory is authorized to issue 85 million shares of common stock. There are currently 40,500,000 shares of Victory common stock outstanding, of which 33,000,000 are Public Shares.

As of April 1, 2009, the holders of common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes will receive in the merger 30,511,427 shares of Victory common stock. Additionally, all outstanding TouchTunes’ options and warrants shall be cancelled and substituted with options and warrants of similar tenor to purchase an aggregate of 4,430,548 shares of Victory common stock, which, as of April 1, 2009, includes warrants to purchase 808,029 shares of Victory common stock and vested options to purchase 1,658,571 shares of Victory common stock. As of April 1, 2009, the holders of common stock, preferred stock and options of TouchTunes will also have the right to receive up to an additional 9,861,025 shares (“EBITDA Shares”) of Victory common stock if the combined company’s earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) exceeds an aggregate of $50 million for any two consecutive quarters ending on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger. The EBITDA Shares will be issued at the closing of the merger and will be placed in escrow until they are earned. If the EBITDA target is not met, the EBITDA Shares shall be returned to Victory for cancellation. If the EBITDA target is met, the TouchTunes’ warrants shall also be adjusted to purchase an additional 257,301 shares of Victory common stock.

Of the shares of Victory common stock to be owned by the holders of TouchTunes common stock, 10% of those shares will be placed in escrow to provide a fund to satisfy indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement. The TouchTunes stockholders retain their right to vote their shares and receive cash dividends on the escrowed shares.

Upon consummation of the proposed merger, Victory will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of TouchTunes.

Victory stockholders will continue to hold the shares of Victory common stock that they owned prior to the merger. Holders of Victory Public Shares have the right to vote against the merger proposal and elect to convert their Public Shares into cash. To preclude the possibility that holders of 20% or more of the Public Shares will vote against the merger and seek conversion of their Public Shares into cash, Victory, its officers, directors and founding stockholders, TouchTunes and the holders of TouchTunes common stock may enter into arrangements to provide for the purchase of Public Shares not to vote against the merger proposal.

The parties intend for the merger to qualify as tax-free transaction pursuant to section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”).

THE LAW

Section 61 of the Code provides that gross income includes “gains derived from dealings in property.”

Code section 1001 provides that the sale or exchange of property shall be a taxable event and gain “shall be the excess of the amount realized from the sale or other disposition of property over the adjusted basis” of the property.

Certain types of exchanges, however, are afforded nonrecognition treatment where the exchange does not change the taxpayer’s capital investment, but merely the form in which the taxpayer holds it. In these cases, the potential gain for recognition is preserved by exchanging the basis of the relinquished property for the basis of the property received.

Code section 354 provides generally that in a “reorganization” exchanges of stock or securities in a corporation by a holder for stock or securities in another corporation are tax free. Code section 361 provides generally that in a “reorganization” an exchange of property by a corporation for stock or securities in another corporation is tax free.

IRC Section 368 and the other ancillary sections hereinafter referred to, provide that in a “reorganization” exchanges of property and stock or securities do not result in a taxable event. The term “reorganization” is defined by IRC Section 368(a)(1)(A) to include mergers. IRC Section 368(a)(2)(E) allows reorganization treatment when a controlled subsidiary merges into the target company (which emerges as the surviving corporation) and shareholders of the target exchange their stock for stock of the parent corporation, a so-called “reverse-subsidiary-merger” acquisition. This type of reorganization is effected where (1) pursuant to a merger the former target shareholders surrender an amount of stock representing at least 80% of each class of target stock; (2) after the merger, the target holds substantially all its properties and substantially all the properties of the merger subsidiary (other than the stock of the parent corporation distributed in the transaction); (3) stock of the parent corporation which was in control of the merger subsidiary is used to effect the merger; and (4) the target becomes a first-tier subsidiary of the parent. Each of the foregoing requirements is complied with in the proposed merger.

Code section 358(a)(1) provides that in the case of an exchange to which section 354 applies, the “basis of the property permitted to be received under such section without the recognition of gain or loss shall be the same as that of the property exchanged.”

Code section 362(b) provides that “[i]f property was acquired by a corporation in connection with a reorganization…, then the basis shall be the same as it would be in the hands of the transferor, increased in the amount of gain recognized to the transferor on such transfer.”

Section 1032 of the Code provides that “no gain or loss shall be recognized to a corporation on the receipt of money or other property in exchange for stock (including treasury stock) of such corporation.”

The Internal Revenue Service holds that a subsidiary recognizes no gain or loss upon the issuance of its parent’s stock in connection with a reorganization. See Treasury Regulations §1.1032-2; Rev. Rul. 57-278, 1957-1 Cum. Bul. 124. When a subsidiary is a transitory first-tier subsidiary used to effect a reverse subsidiary merger, the subsidiary may be disregarded and the transaction recharacterized as a direct acquisition by the parent and thereby protected by IRC Section 1032. Cf. Rev. Rul. 73-427, 1973-2 Cum. Bul. 301.

Code section 1221 defines a “capital asset” as property held by the taxpayer other than stock in trade, inventory, property held primarily for sale to customers, depreciable property, real property used in trade or business, and certain other specified types of property. Code section 1222(3) defines “long-term capital gain” as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset held for more than one year. Code section 1223(1) provides that if a capital asset has the same basis as the property for which it is being exchanged, the taxpayer’s holding period includes the period the taxpayer held the property surrendered.

OPINION

Assuming that the above factual statements are the same on the closing date, our opinion of the Federal income tax consequences of the proposed merger to Victory and stockholders of Victory is:

 

1.

The merger of Merger Sub into TouchTunes will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

2.

No gain or loss will be recognized by Victory upon the issuance of its stock in connection with the proposed merger.

 

3.

No gain or loss will be recognized by Merger Sub in connection with the proposed merger.

 

4.

No gain or loss will be recognized by stockholders of Victory if their conversion rights are not exercised.

 

5.

A stockholder of Victory who exercises conversion rights and effects a termination of the stockholders’ interest in Victory will be required to recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of that stockholder’s shares of common stock of Victory for cash. Such gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of that stockholder’s shares of Victory common stock. This gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the business combination and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the share of Victory common stock is more than one year.

In connection with the above opinion, we hereby consent to the use of our name in the Registration Statement of Victory and all amendments thereto and the filing of this opinion as an annex to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,

If two or more Options designated as Incentive Stock Options first become exercisable in the same calendar year, the $100,000 limit shall be applied to the Options in the order in which they were granted, and any Shares whose value exceeds the limit shall be deemed to be covered by a Nonqualified Stock Option.

 

4.03

The Committee shall not make any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.04 that would: (a) cause an Award that is subject to or becomes subject to Section 409A of the Code to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; or (b) prevent an Award that is intended to be Performance-Based Compensation from satisfying the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code for certain performance-based compensation paid to Covered Employees.

6.06

Committee Discretion. In the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards that shall not qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, and may base the vesting or payment of such Awards on Performance Measures other than those set forth in Section 6.03.

ARTICLE 14. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

14.01

Withholding. The Committee may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary and appropriate for the withholding of any taxes that the Company is required by law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether federal, state, local, domestic, or foreign, to withhold in connection with the grant, exercise, payment, or removal of restrictions of an Award, including, but not limited to, requiring the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements in cash or Shares or withholding cash or Shares due or to become due with respect to the Award at issue. The Participant shall remain responsible at all times for paying any federal, state, and local income or employment tax due with respect to any Award, and the Company shall not be liable for any interest or penalty that a Participant incurs by failing to make timely payments of tax.

 

14.02

Postponement of Issuance and Delivery. The issuance and delivery of any Shares under this Plan may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required to comply with any applicable requirements under any applicable listing requirement of any national securities exchange or any law or regulation applicable to the issuance and delivery of Shares, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any Shares if the issuance or delivery of such Shares shall constitute a violation of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange.

 

14.03

No Right to Awards. No employee, consultant, or member of the Board shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniform treatment of employees, consultants, or members of the Board under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to different Participants.

 

14.04

No Right to Employment or Directorship. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate or any right to remain as a member of the Board, as the case may be. The Company may at any time terminate an employee’s employment or remove a member of the Board free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement.

 

14.05

No Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by an Award until the date of the issuance and delivery of such Shares.

 

14.06

Severability.

Table of Contents

Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the remainder of the Plan or such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

 

14.07

No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other person. To the extent any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or an Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

 

14.08

Headings. Headings are given to the Sections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provisions thereof.

 

14.09

Nonassignability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, no Participant or beneficiary may sell, assign, transfer, discount, or pledge as collateral for a loan, or otherwise anticipate any right to payment under the Plan other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that in no event shall the Committee permit a Participant or beneficiary to receive consideration in respect of any sale, assignment, transfer, discount, pledge, or anticipation under this Section 14.09.

 

14.10

Foreign Jurisdictions. The Committee may adopt, amend, or terminate arrangements, not inconsistent with the intent of the Plan, to make available tax or other benefits under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction to Participants subject to such laws or to conform with the laws and regulations of any such foreign jurisdiction.

 

14.11

Applicable Law. This Plan shall be governed, construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this provision to the substantive law of another jurisdiction. The Plan is intended, and shall be construed, to comply with section 409A of the Code.

 

14.12

No Guarantee of Favorable Tax Treatment. Although the Committee intends to administer the Plan so that Awards will be exempt from, or will comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Company does not warrant that any Award under the Plan will qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 409A of the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local, or foreign law. The Company shall not be liable to any Participant for any tax the Participant might owe as a result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise, or payment of any Award under the Plan.

WHEREAS, as a condition to the consummation of the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders have agreed, severally, to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements and covenants set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

VOTING OF SHARES FOR DIRECTORS; VICTORY COVENANTS

SECTION 1.01 Vote in Favor of the Directors . During the term of this Agreement, each Stockholder agrees to vote the Shares of Victory Common Stock he, she or it now beneficially owns, or will hereafter acquire prior to the termination of this Agreement, for the election and re-election of the following persons as directors of Victory, each person referred to as a “Director Designee”: four (4) persons who shall be the designees of VantagePoint, at least three of whom shall be “independent” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of NYSE Amex (or such other national securities exchange upon which Victory’s common stock is then listed), with one (1) of such designees to stand for election in 2011 (“Class B Directors”), who shall initially be [ — ]; and three (3) of such designees to stand for election in 2012 (“Class C Directors”) who shall initially be [ — ], [ — ] and [ — ].

---

Table of Contents

Any Director Designee may be removed from the Board of Directors in the manner allowed by law and Victory’s governing documents except that each Stockholder (other than VantagePoint) agrees that he, she or it will not, as a stockholder, vote for the removal of such Director Designee unless VantagePoint is so voting in favor in which case such Stockholder shall also so vote in favor. Subject to Section 1.02, if a director is removed or resigns from office, the remaining directors of the group of parties voting together hereunder of which the vacating director is a member shall be entitled to appoint a successor.

All committees of the Board shall be formed in accordance with, and its members shall be qualified under, the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. securities laws and the applicable stock exchange or such other principal trading market on which Victory’s securities trade.

During the term of this Agreement, with respect to any matter for which Victory stockholder approval is sought (other than the election of the Director Designees), each Stockholder (other than VantagePoint) agrees to vote the Shares of Victory Common Stock he, she or it now beneficially owns, or will hereafter acquire prior to the termination of this Agreement, in accordance with the recommendation of Victory’s Board of Directors unless VantagePoint has a material financial interest in such matter other than its interest as a Stockholder in which case such Stockholders are not limited in how they vote.

SECTION 1.02 Obligations of Victory . During the term of this Agreement, Victory shall take all necessary and desirable actions within its control to provide for the Board of Directors of Victory to be comprised of seven (7) members and to cause the Director Designees to be elected to the Board of Directors.

During the term of this Agreement, if any of the Director Designees, after election to the Board, thereafter is removed, resigns or is otherwise unable to serve as a director of the Company, VantagePoint shall be entitled to nominate a replacement designee, which designee will be chosen with the agreement of Victory, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (such designee shall then also be considered a Director Designee for all purposes hereunder) (provided that, Victory’s failure to agree to such replacement may only be based on the Board of Director’s (or the nominating committee’s) good faith determination that such replacement clearly does not meet or comply with Victory’s applicable corporate governance guidelines or comparable governance standards), and the Board shall promptly appoint such Director Designee to the Board to serve the remaining term of the director such new Director Designee replaced. In proposing an individual as a replacement Director Designee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, VantagePoint shall provide Victory with such information regarding such individual as would be required to nominate such individual as a director pursuant to Victory’s By-laws.

During the term of this Agreement, Victory agrees that Victory’s Proxy Statements and proxy cards for the applicable annual meetings of Victory’s stockholders and all other solicitation materials to be delivered to stockholders in connection with such annual meetings shall be prepared in accordance with, and in furtherance of, this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, Victory will provide VantagePoint with copies of any portion of proxy materials or other solicitation materials that contain statements relating to VantagePoint or its Director Designees, as applicable, or this Agreement a reasonable period (and, in any event, at least three business days) in advance of filing such materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission or disseminating the same in order to permit VantagePoint a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such materials. VantagePoint will provide, as promptly as reasonably practicable, all information relating to their respective Director Designees (and other information, if any) to the extent required under applicable law to be included in Victory’s Proxy Statement and any other solicitation materials to be delivered to stockholders in connection with applicable annual meetings. During the term of this Agreement, Victory agrees that the nominating committee of the Board of Directors will meet from time to time with VantagePoint at its reasonable request to discuss the committee’s nominating criteria, the qualifications of the Director Designees or any proposed replacements thereof, the composition of the board and any other matters relating to the foregoing.

ANNEX H PROXY SUPPLEMENT FOR TOUCHTUNES SPECIAL MEETING

OF STOCKHOLDERS

FORM OF NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

OF TOUCHTUNES CORPORATION

TO BE HELD ON APRIL 21, 2009

To the Stockholders of TouchTunes Corporation:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting of stockholders of TouchTunes Corporation (“TouchTunes,” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, will be held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time, on April 21, 2009, at TouchTunes’ offices located at 3 Commerce Place, 4 ^th floor, Montreal, Québec, H3E 1H7, Canada.

Notice of the special meeting of stockholders was first mailed to the stockholders on April 1, 2009.

You are cordially invited to attend the meeting, which will be held to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 23, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Victory Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Victory”), VAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Victory (“Merger Sub”), TouchTunes and VantagePoint CDP Partners, L.P. (“VantagePoint”). The Merger Agreement, among other things, provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into TouchTunes, with TouchTunes being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory. Victory will thereafter operate under the name “TouchTunes Corporation.”

As of April 1, 2009, the holders of common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes will receive in the merger 30,511,427 shares of Victory common stock. Additionally, all outstanding TouchTunes options and warrants shall be cancelled and substituted with options and warrants of similar tenor to purchase an aggregate of 4,430,548 shares of Victory common stock, which includes warrants to purchase 808,029 shares of Victory common stock and vested options to purchase 1,658,571 shares of Victory common stock.

If TouchTunes common and preferred stockholders own shares representing 50% or more of the voting power of the combined entity after the merger, they will receive one share of Victory common stock for every 4.65565 shares of TouchTunes common stock held (on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis) immediately prior to the merger. If, however, the holders of outstanding TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock immediately prior to the merger hold less than 50% of the voting power of Victory after the merger, the merger will constitute a “Liquidation Event” under TouchTunes’ Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “TouchTunes Certificate”), in which case the merger consideration will be distributed as follows: the holders of series B and series C preferred stock will receive a liquidation preference in the form of an aggregate of 3,166,184 shares of Victory common stock with the remaining merger consideration distributed pro-rata to all holders of TouchTunes common and preferred stock. This distribution will result in an exchange ratio under which TouchTunes stockholders will receive one share of Victory common stock for every 5.14846 shares of common stock held (on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis). For more information regarding the merger consideration to be received per share of TouchTunes common stock, please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “ The Merger Agreement — Merger Consideration .”

The holders of common stock, preferred stock and options of TouchTunes will also have the right to receive up to an additional 9,861,025 EBITDA Shares as of April 1, 2009, of which 618,325 relate to unvested options as of April 1, 2009, if the combined company’s EBITDA exceeds an aggregate of $50 million for any two consecutive quarters during the period ending on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the merger. If the EBITDA target is met, the TouchTunes’ warrants shall also be adjusted to purchase an additional 257,301 shares of Victory common stock. The EBITDA Shares will be issued at the closing of the merger and will be placed in escrow until they are earned. If the EBITDA target is not met, the EBITDA Shares shall be returned to Victory for cancellation.

Upon completion of the merger, the current holders of common stock and preferred stock of TouchTunes will own approximately 30,511,427 shares of Victory common stock, representing approximately 41.2% of the combined entity on a non-diluted basis (assuming no Victory stockholders exercise their rights of conversion). Of the shares of Victory common stock to be owned by the holders of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock, 30,051,143 shares, representing 10% of the shares to be issued in the merger, will be placed in escrow to provide a fund to satisfy indemnification obligations under the Merger Agreement.

The merger described in this proxy supplement is described in more detail in the attached registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Victory with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2009, as amended from time to time (the “Prospectus”), which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting. This proxy supplement provides you with detailed information about the merger and other matters to be considered by TouchTunes stockholders. You are encouraged to carefully read the entire document, the attached Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference. IN PARTICULAR, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE MATTERS DISCUSSED UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 15 OF THE ATTACHED PROSPECTUS.

Only holders of record of TouchTunes common stock or preferred stock at the close of business on March 31, 2009 (the “record date”) are entitled to notice of the special meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the special meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting.

The merger proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote in favor of the proposal by the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock and preferred stock (voting on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis) of TouchTunes entitled to vote on the proposal at the meeting, voting together as a single class. The approval of the merger proposal is a condition to the consummation of the merger. As of the close of business on the record date, the stockholders of TouchTunes who are parties to the Merger Agreement and who owned an aggregate of approximately 74.48% of the outstanding shares of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock (determined on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis) entitled to vote at the special meeting have agreed to vote such shares in favor of the merger proposal.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of TouchTunes unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the approval of the merger proposal. Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. The management of TouchTunes looks forward to seeing you at the special meeting.

Under Delaware law, holders of record of TouchTunes common stock who do not vote in favor of adoption of the merger have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares of stock if the merger is completed. To exercise your appraisal rights, you must strictly follow the procedures prescribed by Delaware law, including, among other things, submitting a written demand for appraisal to TouchTunes before the vote is taken on the adoption of the merger, and you must not vote in favor of adoption of the merger. These procedures are summarized in the section of this proxy supplement entitled “ Appraisal Rights ” (the text of the applicable provisions of Delaware law is also attached to this proxy supplement).

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR

TOUCHTUNES STOCKHOLDERS ABOUT THE MERGER PROPOSAL

 

Q.      Why am I receiving this proxy supplement?		A.      Victory and TouchTunes have agreed to a business combination under the terms of the Merger Agreement that is described in this proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the attached Prospectus as Annex A, which you are encouraged to read. You are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement, which, among other things, provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into TouchTunes, with TouchTunes being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory. Victory will thereafter operate under the name “TouchTunes Corporation.” The approval of the merger proposal is a condition to the consummation of the merger.   This proxy supplement contains important information about the proposed merger. You should read this proxy supplement and the attached Prospectus carefully.   Your vote is important. You are encouraged to vote at the special meeting after carefully reviewing this proxy supplement.
Q.      Why is TouchTunes proposing the merger?		A.      TouchTunes develops, manufactures and sells interactive digital entertainment systems that are designed to provide innovative digital entertainment content and highly-targeted advertising services to a network of approximately 38,000 out-of-home locations in North America, such as bars, restaurants, retailers and other businesses.   Victory was organized for the purpose of consummating a business combination with an operating business in any industry other than the franchising, financial services or healthcare industries. Victory consummated its IPO on April 30, 2007, raising net proceeds of $316,661,329. Of these net proceeds, $316,660,000 (including $10,560,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions), together with $5,000,000 raised from the private sale of warrants (for a total of $321,660,000), was placed in a trust account immediately following the IPO and, in accordance with Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, will be released upon the consummation of a business combination. As of December 31, 2008, $330,144,884 was held in deposit in the trust account. Victory intends to use the funds held in the trust account to pay certain transaction expenses, tax obligations and deferred underwriters compensation. The balance of the funds will be released to Victory after the closing of the merger to pay stockholders who properly exercise their conversion rights and for working capital and general corporate purposes.   Based on its due diligence investigations of Victory, including the financial and other information provided by Victory in the course of their negotiations, TouchTunes believes that Victory’s management will provide key financial and public market management experience to the TouchTunes board of directors and will provide important financial resources to TouchTunes. Additionally, TouchTunes believes that a business combination with Victory will provide TouchTunes stockholders with an opportunity to obtain certain liquidity to their investment in TouchTunes and will provide a further opportunity to participate in a company with expanded growth potential.

		In accordance with Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if Victory is unable to complete a business combination by April 24, 2009, its corporate existence will automatically terminate and it will be required to liquidate. The Merger Agreement provides that either Victory or TouchTunes may terminate the merger Agreement if the merger is not consummated by the date Victory is required to be liquidated.
Q.      Will I be able to sell my Victory shares immediately after the merger?		A.      Yes, unless you have entered into a lock-up agreement in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement, or are an affiliate of either TouchTunes prior to the merger of Victory after the merger (in which case you will be subject to Rule 145 or Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), the shares of Victory common stock you will receive in the merger will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be freely sold at any time.
Q.      Will I be entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the merger?		A.      TouchTunes stockholders may be entitled, under certain circumstances, to appraisal rights under the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the “DGCL”). For additional information concerning the appraisal rights of dissenting TouchTunes stockholders, please see the section of this proxy supplement entitled “ Appraisal Rights .” In addition, a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL, which governs the appraisal process, is attached to this proxy supplement.
Q.      How do I exercise my appraisal rights?		A.      The relevant provisions of the DGCL are technical in nature and complex. If you wish to exercise appraisal rights and obtain appraisal of the fair value of your shares, you may wish to consult with legal counsel, because the failure to comply strictly with the procedures prescribed by the DGCL may result in waiver or forfeiture of your appraisal rights. These procedures are summarized in the section of this proxy supplement entitled “ Appraisal Rights .” In addition, a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL, which governs the appraisal process, is attached to this proxy supplement.
Q.      What happens if the merger is not consummated?		A.      If the merger is not consummated, you will continue to own the same shares of common stock and/or preferred stock of TouchTunes that you owned prior to the vote at the special meeting. TouchTunes will continue to operate in its ordinary course as previously operated.
Q.      When do you expect the merger to be completed?		A.      It is currently anticipated that the merger will be consummated as soon as practicable following the special meeting of TouchTunes stockholders to be held on April 21, 2009. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the merger, please see the section of the Prospectus entitled “ The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Closing of the Merger .”
Q.      What do I need to do now?		A.      TouchTunes urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy supplement and the attached Prospectus, including the annexes, and to consider how the proposed merger will affect you as a stockholder of TouchTunes.

Purpose of the TouchTunes Special Meeting

At the special meeting, TouchTunes will ask holders of its common stock and preferred stock to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of March 23, 2009, among TouchTunes, Merger Sub, Victory and Vantage Point which, among other things, provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into TouchTunes, with TouchTunes being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory (the “merger proposal”).

•

has unanimously approved the merger proposal; and

 

•

unanimously recommends that TouchTunes’ stockholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal.

Table of Contents

Quorum

The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock (determined on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis) of TouchTunes entitled to vote constitutes a quorum at the special meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to TouchTunes but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. The latter will not be treated as shares entitled to vote on the matter as to which authority to vote is withheld from the broker. If you do not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, your broker may not vote your shares on “non-routine” proposals, such as the merger proposal.

Vote of TouchTunes’ Stockholders Required

The approval of the merger proposal will require the affirmative vote for the proposal by the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock and preferred stock (voting on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis) of TouchTunes entitled to vote on the proposal at the meeting, voting as a single class. A separate vote to approve the merger proposal is not required of the holders of the preferred stock of TouchTunes or any series thereof. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the merger proposal and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have no effect on the merger proposal.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock (on an as-converted-to-common-stock basis) that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of TouchTunes’ common stock and preferred stock that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are two ways to vote your shares of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock at the special meeting:

 

•

You Can Vote By Signing and Returning the Enclosed Proxy Card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by TouchTunes’ board “FOR” the merger proposal. Votes received after a matter has been voted upon at the special meeting will not be counted.

 

•

You Can Attend the Special Meeting and Vote in Person. TouchTunes will give you a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way TouchTunes can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

 

•

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

 

•

you may notify David Schwartz, TouchTunes’ Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer in writing before the special meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

 

•

you may attend the special meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. TouchTunes and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means, including email and facsimile.

TOUCHTUNES’ BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REASONS FOR APPROVAL OF THE MERGER

The board of directors of TouchTunes has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and believes that the terms of the Merger Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, TouchTunes and its stockholders.

TouchTunes’ principal reason for entering into this transaction is to raise significant capital, which should enable TouchTunes to expand its business and more rapidly deploy its PlayPorTT ^™ units and Barfly systems. The proposed merger provides a rare opportunity in a difficult capital market to raise significant funding on favorable terms, while maintaining in place TouchTunes’ management and key holders to carry out the current strategy of the company. TouchTunes’ board of directors believes that the merger of Merger Sub with and into TouchTunes, with TouchTunes being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Victory, will create a corporate structure that will allow TouchTunes to maintain and expand its business, while providing important liquidity to its stockholders.

In reaching its determination to merge with Victory, the TouchTunes board of directors considered a number of factors. A potential merger with Victory was considered to be complimentary with the long-term objectives of TouchTunes and was structured to provide an opportunity to attain the following potential benefits to TouchTunes and its stockholders:

 

•

Given the difficult capital market for an initial public offering and raising capital, the acquisition of TouchTunes by Victory provides TouchTunes with a rare opportunity to raise significant capital to expand its business and accelerate the roll-out of its PlayPorTT units and Barfly systems, while maintaining in place TouchTunes’ management and key holders to carry out the current strategy of the company.

 

•

A proposed merger with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”), such as Victory, provides a mechanism to achieve a public market for TouchTunes stockholders without many of the costs, management time expenditures and risks inherent in completing a traditional initial public offering. The board of directors of TouchTunes believes that the proposed approach of merging with Victory would be beneficial to TouchTunes and its stockholders, especially when taking into account the various uncertainties in the public equity markets.

 

•

The TouchTunes board of directors believes that becoming a publicly traded company will provide a number of significant benefits that are meaningful to TouchTunes. The board of directors believes that the higher profile of being publicly traded may enhance TouchTunes’ recognition in the out-of-home interactive digital entertainment and advertising markets as it seeks to obtain new contracts for its

 

H-8

Table of Contents

products and services. The board also believes that the currency of a publicly traded stock will provide TouchTunes with additional methods of financing and the ability to make acquisitions while retaining its cash for operations and growth. TouchTunes is a much larger company operationally and financially than it was in 2005. At that time, the cost of remaining public had a much more negative impact on overall operating results than it will in 2009. In addition, TouchTunes’ funding was limited and its board determined that it was in the best interests of the company to expend the company’s resources on growing the business rather than on remaining a public company. Finally, the market for TouchTunes’ common stock was relatively illiquid and TouchTunes’ board did not believe that this would likely change in the near future. TouchTunes’ current board believes that the factors that led TouchTunes to go private in 2005 are no longer applicable in the context of this deal, for the reasons noted above.

 

•

The merger with Victory also will allow the post-merger company to maintain the existing TouchTunes management team. The TouchTunes board of directors believes that the continuity of management of the post-merger company will allow for a continuation of the recent performance of TouchTunes. The TouchTunes board also believes that the performance of the post-merger company will be enhanced by the added benefits of being a publicly traded company. In addition, the relative size of Victory and the terms of the Merger Agreement, are designed to ensure that as of the date of the merger, the current stockholders of TouchTunes will maintain a substantial position in the post-merger company, therefore limiting the effects of dilution on the investments of TouchTunes stockholders in TouchTunes.

 

•

The merger with Victory will also enhance and diversify the composition of the board of directors of TouchTunes. The merger agreement and related voting agreement contemplate that the post-merger company will have persons nominated by Victory on its board of directors who will add their expertise in the financial markets to our current board and management team. In addition, the Victory management team has successfully completed a prior SPAC merger transaction and will be able to share that experience to help ensure the success of this merger transaction. The board of directors further believes that being a public company, and having significant capital, will assist TouchTunes in its search for a new chief executive officer to replace William Meder, who is serving in that role on a transitional basis.

The TouchTunes board of directors considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the merger. In light of the complexity of those factors, the TouchTunes board did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its decision. In addition, individual members of the TouchTunes board may have given different weight to different factors.

Interests of TouchTunes’ Directors and Officers in the Merger

In considering the recommendation of the TouchTunes board of directors to vote for the merger proposal, you should be aware that certain members of the TouchTunes board have agreements or arrangements that provide them with interests in the merger that differ from, or are in addition to, those of TouchTunes stockholders generally. In particular:

 

•

The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement contemplate that members of TouchTunes’ management will become officers of Victory. These officers are William J. Meder, who will serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, David Schwartz, who will serve as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, Ronald Greenberg, who will serve as Chief Marketing Officer & Senior Vice President, Digital Media, Daniel McAllister, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Sales, Geoff Mott, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, Michael Tooker, who will serve a Senior Vice President, Technology and Operations, and Robert Weinschenk, who will serve as Senior Vice President, Barfly Division.

•

In addition, VantagePoint, TouchTunes’ largest stockholder, has entered into a voting agreement under which it will be entitled to designate four directors to the board of the combined company, and has nominated David S. Carlick, a current director of TouchTunes, Patrick Gallagher and Joel Katz to serve as directors of the combined company with one position remaining open. These directors will, in the future, receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the Victory board of directors approves following a determination of fair compensation for its directors.

 

•

The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement provide that Victory will assume the employment agreements that TouchTunes has with certain of its officers and will enter into employment agreements with others, effective upon the merger.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences To

TouchTunes and Its Stockholders

Under IRS standards of professional practice, certain tax advice that may be used to support the promotion or marketing of transactions or arrangements must meet requirements as to form and substance. To assure compliance with these standards, we inform you that (i) this communication is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties, (ii) this advice was written to support the promotion or marketing of the transactions and matters addressed herein, and (iii) you should seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

The following is a general discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of shares of TouchTunes stock by holders that hold such shares as capital assets (generally, for investment). This discussion is not a complete analysis or listing of all of the possible tax consequences of the merger and does not address all tax considerations that might be relevant to particular holders in light of their personal circumstances or to persons that are subject to special tax rules. In addition, this description of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences does not address the tax treatment of special classes of holders, such as: financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt entities, insurance companies, persons holding TouchTunes stock as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction, constructive sale or “straddle,” persons who acquired TouchTunes stock through the exercise or cancellation of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for their services, U.S. expatriates, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, dealers or traders in securities or currencies, and holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

This summary does not address estate and gift tax consequences or tax consequences under any state, local or foreign laws.

For purposes of this section, you are a “U.S. Holder” if you are: (i) an individual citizen of the United States or a resident alien of the United States; (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust (A) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership or other pass-through entity is a beneficial owner of TouchTunes stock, the tax treatment of a partner or other owner will generally depend upon the status of the partner (or other owner) and the activities of the entity. If you are a partner (or other owner) of a pass-through entity that owns TouchTunes stock, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the merger to you.

The following discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. judicial decisions, administrative pronouncements and existing and proposed Treasury regulations, all as in effect as of the date hereof. All of the preceding authorities are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. We have not requested, and will not request, a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and as a result there can be no assurance that the IRS will not disagree with or challenge any of the conclusions we have reached and describe herein.

The following discussion is for general information only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder of TouchTunes stock, and no opinion or representation with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. TouchTunes stockholders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the particular consequences to them under U.S. federal, state and local, and applicable foreign tax laws of the merger.

Table of Contents

The obligation of TouchTunes to effect the merger is conditioned upon the receipt of a written opinion from tax counsel to the effect that, on the basis of the facts, representations and assumptions set forth in such opinion, and in representation letters to be delivered by TouchTunes and Victory to tax counsel at the time of closing, the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that Victory and TouchTunes will each be a party to a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code. These opinions will not be binding on the IRS and will not preclude the IRS from taking a contrary position. Neither TouchTunes nor Victory has requested, nor will they request, a ruling from the IRS regarding any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger.

Assuming that the merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the material federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of TouchTunes stock will be as follows:

 

•

A U.S. Holder will not recognize gain or loss on the exchange except with respect to interest income recognized upon the receipt of any EBITDA Shares;

 

•

A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in Victory stock received in the merger (including for this purpose Victory stock that such holder may receive out of the escrow) will be the same as its tax basis in its TouchTunes stock exchanged therefor; and

 

•

The holding period for Victory stock received in exchange for TouchTunes stock will include the holding period of the TouchTunes stock exchanged therefor.

If a U.S. Holder receives EBITDA Shares out of escrow in the future, a portion of the value of such shares generally will be treated as interest income under Section 483 of the Code. A U.S. Holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor with respect to the federal income tax consequences to it of the receipt of EBITDA Shares.

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences to

TouchTunes Shareholders

The following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences, generally applicable to a holder of shares of TouchTunes stock who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ ITA ”), is resident or deemed to be resident in Canada, holds shares of TouchTunes stock as capital property and deals at arm’s length with, and is not affiliated with, Victory, Merger Sub and TouchTunes (a “ Canadian Holder ”). This discussion does not apply to a Canadian Holder with respect to whom TouchTunes is a foreign affiliate or to a situation where shares of TouchTunes stock are held by an entity which is a foreign affiliate, within the meaning of the ITA. It is assumed that Canadian Holders of shares of TouchTunes stock received no other consideration for their shares of TouchTunes stock other than shares of Victory stock. This summary does not address all tax considerations that might be relevant to a particular Canadian Holders in light of its personal circumstances or to persons that are subject to special tax rules. This summary is not applicable to a Canadian Holder which is a “financial institution” for purposes of the mark-to-market rules or a “specified financial institution” (all as defined in the ITA). Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the tax consequences to them, having regard to their particular circumstances.

This discussion is based on the current provisions of the ITA and the regulations thereunder, and an understanding of the current published administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any change in law nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or consideration which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.

According to the ITA, where there has been a foreign merger, within the meaning of the ITA, in which the shares owned by a Canadian Holder of the capital stock of a corporation that was a predecessor foreign corporation immediately before the merger were exchanged for shares of the capital stock of a foreign parent corporation of the entity resulting from the merger, the Canadian Holder is deemed to have disposed of the shares for proceeds equal to their adjusted cost bases and to have acquired shares of the foreign parent corporation at the same amount. Therefore, provided a Canadian Holder of TouchTunes stock does not elect out of the above mentioned tax rollover treatment and does not vote against the Merger Agreement, no gain or loss should be realized by the shareholder as a result of the merger of Merger Sub with and into TouchTunes.

Canadian Holders who vote against the Merger Agreement and who receive cash in exchange for the shares of TouchTunes stock will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition exceed (or are less than) the aggregate of the Canadian Holder’s adjusted cost base of his or her shares of TouchTunes stock and any reasonable costs of disposition. A Canadian Holder must include one-half of a capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) in income in accordance with the ITA. One-half of a capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized by a Canadian Holder in a year will generally, subject to certain limitations, be deductible against taxable capital gains realized by the Canadian Holder in that year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in any year may, subject to certain limitations under the ITA, be carried-back three years or forward indefinitely for deduction against taxable capital gains realized in those years.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

The following is a brief summary of the statutory procedures to be followed by a TouchTunes stockholder who does not wish to accept the merger consideration in order to dissent from the merger and perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law. In view of the complexity of these provisions of the DGCL, any TouchTunes stockholder who is considering exercising dissenter’s rights should consult his, her or its legal advisor.

THIS SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO BE COMPLETE AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO SECTION 262 OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF DELAWARE, THE FULL TEXT OF WHICH IS SET FORTH IN ANNEX H. ANY STOCKHOLDER CONSIDERING DEMANDING APPRAISAL IS ADVISED TO CONSULT LEGAL COUNSEL. FAILURE TO COMPLY STRICTLY WITH THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN SECTION 262 OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF DELAWARE WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF APPRAISAL RIGHTS.

Under Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”), as a result of the completion of the merger, holders of shares of TouchTunes common stock and preferred stock, with respect to which appraisal rights are properly demanded and perfected and not withdrawn or lost, are entitled, in lieu of receiving the merger consideration, to have the “fair value” of their shares at the effective time of the merger (exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger) judicially determined and paid to them in cash by complying with the provisions of Section 262. TouchTunes is required to send a notice to that effect to each stockholder not less than 20 days prior to the expiration date for the appraisal rights created in connection with the merger . This proxy supplement constitutes that notice to you.

Stockholders of TouchTunes who desire to exercise their appraisal rights must fully satisfy all of the following conditions.

A stockholder who desires to exercise appraisal rights must (a) not vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and (b) deliver a written demand for appraisal of the stockholder’s shares to TouchTunes before the vote on the Merger Agreement at the special meeting.

A demand for appraisal must be executed by or for the stockholder of record, fully and correctly, as the stockholder’s name appears on the certificates representing shares. If shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, such demand must be executed by the fiduciary. If shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand must be executed by all joint owners. An authorized agent, including an agent of two or more joint owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner and expressly disclose that, in exercising the demand, the agent is acting as agent for the record owner. In addition, the stockholder must continuously hold the shares of record from the date of making the demand through the effective time of the merger.

A record owner, such as a broker, who holds shares as a nominee for others may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the shares held for all or less than all beneficial owners of shares as to which the holder is the record owner. In that case, the written demand must set forth the number of shares covered by the demand. Where the number of shares is not expressly stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares outstanding in the name of the record owner.

Beneficial owners who are not record owners and who intend to exercise appraisal rights should instruct the record owner to comply strictly with the statutory requirements with respect to the exercise of appraisal rights before the vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement at the special meeting. A holder of shares held in “street name” who desires appraisal rights with respect to those shares must take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that a timely and proper demand for appraisal is made by the record owner of the shares.

Table of Contents

Shares held through brokerage firms, banks and other financial institutions are frequently deposited with and held of record in the name of a nominee of a central security depositary, such as Cede & Co., The Depository Trust Company’s nominee. Any holder of shares desiring appraisal rights with respect to such shares who held such shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution is responsible for ensuring that the demand for appraisal is made by the record holder. The stockholder should instruct such firm, bank or institution that the demand for appraisal must be made by the record holder of the shares, which might be the nominee of a central security depositary if the shares have been so deposited.

As required by Section 262, a demand for appraisal must be in writing and must reasonably inform TouchTunes of the identity of the record holder (which might be a nominee as described above) and of such holder’s intention to seek appraisal of such shares.

Stockholders of record who elect to demand appraisal of their shares must mail or deliver their written demand to: TouchTunes Corporation, 740 Broadway, Suite 1102, New York, New York 10003, Attention: William J. Meder. The written demand for appraisal should specify the stockholder’s name and mailing address, the number of shares owned, and that the stockholder is demanding appraisal of his, her or its shares. The written demand must be received by TouchTunes prior to the special meeting. Neither voting (in person or by proxy) against, abstaining from voting on or failing to vote on, the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement will alone suffice to constitute a written demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262. In addition, the stockholder must not vote its shares of common stock or preferred stock in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. Because a returned proxy that does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement, a stockholder who votes by proxy and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must vote against the adoption of the Merger Agreement or abstain from voting on the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

Within 120 days after the effective time of the merger, either the surviving corporation in the merger or any stockholder who has timely and properly demanded appraisal of such stockholder’s shares and who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 and is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, or any beneficial owner of the stock for which a demand for appraisal has been properly made, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares of all stockholders who have properly demanded appraisal. If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed, after a hearing on such petition, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine which stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights and thereafter will appraise the shares owned by those stockholders, determining the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, together with interest to be paid, if any, upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharges) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. In determining fair value, the Delaware Court of Chancery is to take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered and that “[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.” The Delaware Supreme Court stated that in making this determination of fair value, the court must consider “market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which were known or which could be ascertained as of the date of merger which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation.” The Delaware Supreme Court construed Section 262 to mean that “elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered.” However, the Delaware Supreme Court noted that Section 262 provides that fair value is to be determined “exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger.”

Table of Contents

Stockholders considering seeking appraisal should bear in mind that the fair value of their shares determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as, or less than the merger consideration they are entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement if they do not seek appraisal of their shares.

The cost of the appraisal proceeding may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and charged upon the parties as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder seeking appraisal rights, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by such stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts, be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal. In the absence of such a determination of assessment, each party bears its own expenses.

At any time within 60 days after the effective time of the merger, any stockholder may withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal and accept the consideration offered pursuant to the merger by delivering to the surviving corporation a written withdrawal of the stockholder’s demand for appraisal. However, any such attempt to withdraw made more than 60 days after the effective date of the merger will require approval of the surviving corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no petition timely filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding appraisal will be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however, that any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party may withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal and accept the merger consideration offered pursuant to the merger within 60 days after the effective date of the merger. If the surviving corporation does not approve a request to withdraw a demand for appraisal when that approval is required, or, except with respect to any stockholder who withdraws such stockholder’s right to appraisal in accordance with the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, if the Delaware Court of Chancery does not approve the dismissal of an appraisal proceeding, the stockholder will be entitled to receive only the appraised value determined in any such appraisal proceeding, which value could be less than, equal to or more than the consideration being offered pursuant to the merger.

If no petition for appraisal is filed with the Delaware Court of Chancery within 120 days after the effective time of the merger, stockholders’ rights to appraisal shall cease and all stockholders shall be entitled only to receive the consideration as provided for in the Merger Agreement. It is the obligation of any stockholder wishing to exercise appraisal rights to initiate all necessary action to perfect such rights with respect to his, her or its shares of TouchTunes common stock or preferred stock within the time prescribed in Section 262. Failure to take any required step in connection with the exercise of appraisal rights may result in the termination or waiver of such rights.

The foregoing is a brief summary of Section 262 which sets forth the procedures for dissenting from the merger and demanding statutory appraisal rights. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262, a copy of the text of which is attached hereto.

(1)

Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of § 251 of this title.

 

(2)

Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

Table of Contents

incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

 

(d)	Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

 

(1)

If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

 

(2)

If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228 or § 253 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e)

Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

 

(f)

Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

 

(g)

At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

 

(h)

After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders

entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

 

(i)

The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

 

(j)

The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

 

(k)

From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

 

(l)	The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 20.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Victory Acquisition Corp. (“Victory”) provides that all directors, officers, employees and agents of the registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by Victory to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.

“Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.

(a) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(b) A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(c) To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

(d) Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met

Table of Contents

the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

(e) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

(g) A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.

(h) For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(i) For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

(j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(k) Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of

stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).”

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to Victory’s directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Victory has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Victory will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by Victory is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Paragraph B of Article Ninth of Victory’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides:

“The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the GCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.”

Victory’s bylaws further provide that any indemnification shall be made by Victory only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such section. Such determination shall be made: (i) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by stockholders.

Pursuant to Victory’s bylaws, Victory also maintains a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy which insures the directors and officers of Victory against liability asserted against such persons in such capacity whether or not such directors or officers have the right to indemnification pursuant to the bylaws or otherwise.

Item 22.

Undertakings.

Each of the undersigned, Victory and Victory, hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

i. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,

Table of Contents

the undersigned has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the undersigned in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the undersigned will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Each of the undersigned hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

Each of the undersigned undertakes that every prospectus: (1) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Each of the undersigned hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

Each of the undersigned hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

(5) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in an initial distribution of securities in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

iii. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
