KIT digital Files Form S-3 Shelf Registration

NEW YORK, and PRAGUE, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KIT digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: KITD), the leading global provider of video asset management solutions (VAMs) for multi-screen IP-based delivery, filed a Form S-3 registration statement yesterday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, commonly known as a "shelf registration."

Under this shelf registration, KIT digital may sell shares of its common stock in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $250 million over an indeterminate period. Also, pursuant to requirements in the recent acquisition of Brickbox Digital Media, 242,843 shares owned by certain former shareholders of Brickbox were concomitantly filed for registration.

"This shelf filing was procedural, and its specific use or application has yet to be determined," said KIT digital's chairman and CEO, Kaleil Isaza Tuzman. "The filing was precipitated by the fact that our previous $100 million shelf registration, established in 2009, had effectively expired. Our shareholders approved an increase in authorized shares at our annual general meeting several weeks ago, putting us in a position to file this S-3, in line with our standing corporate policy of maintaining a large outstanding shelf in order to maintain maximum strategic flexibility."

"On the buy-side, we expect that our existing strategy of acquiring small companies that complement our current geographical and client vertical reach will continue to be financed out of cash from operations and our existing balance sheet, and does not require additional outside equity capital. However, to the extent that it became feasible to acquire one or more of our top competitors at a reasonable valuation, it is important we have the flexibility to do so—including accessing the capital markets efficiently and quickly. This shelf registration also enhances options and flexibility on the sell-side, as it makes it easier for certain types of privately held buyers to evaluate KIT digital."

"To be clear, with more than $45 million in cash on our balance sheet and strong, positive operating cash-flow, we do not have an immediate need to raise capital for corporate purposes or strategic acquisitions at this time. If we choose to sell shares under this shelf registration, it will be with the purpose of closing on an imminent corporate opportunity. The small number of potentially selling shareholders possess so-called 'piggy-back' registration rights related to our previous acquisition of Brickbox and are not pre-existing holders or company management. For all of the above reasons, we believe this shelf filing is favorable for our current and prospective shareholders."

Any such offer may be made only pursuant to the company's prospectus for the offering and only in national and state jurisdictions in which the offering is registered or exempt from registration and via authorized broker-dealers. The securities offered by the prospectus involve a high degree of risk.
