Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
THQ Asset Purchase Agreement
     On August 3, 2009, Midway Games Inc. (the “Registrant”) and two of its United States subsidiaries, Midway Home Entertainment Inc. (“MHE”) and Midway Studios Los-Angeles Inc. (“MSLA,” together with the Registrant and MHE, the “Sellers”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with THQ Inc. (“THQ”).
     Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, THQ will purchase substantially all of the assets used in connection with and arising out of the operation of the video game design and development studio operating out of the Registrant’s San Diego, California facility (the “CA Facility”), with certain exclusions, including, but not limited to, the TNA iMPACT! video game (the “Excluded Game”) and certain third party licenses related to the Excluded Game. The purchase price for the assets is Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) plus the aggregate of any cure amounts and other assumed liabilities under assumed contracts and accrued unpaid time off for employees hired by THQ. THQ extended offers of at-will employment to at least forty employees at the CA Facility as of August 4, 2009 on terms and conditions at least as favorable as their current terms of employment and, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, shall have reasonable access to the Registrant’s employees to conduct additional interviews and, in its discretion, offer additional employment. As previously reported, on July 1, 2009, the Registrant complied with the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the “WARN Act”) and provided a 60-day notification to the employees of the CA Facility, including employees of MSLA, of its intention to close the CA Facility. Due to THQ’s offer of at-will employment to certain employees, the Registrant expects a payroll cost savings as it is no longer required to pay salaries and accrued paid time off for the remainder of the WARN Act notice period to those employees that accept THQ’s offer of employment. See the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 8, 2009 for more information about the notification under the WARN Act at the CA Facility.
     The consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to (i) entry of an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) approving the proposed transaction, (ii) entry into a license agreement between THQ and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. in connection with a shared engine developed by or on behalf of Sellers and their affiliates prior to July 10, 2009 (the terms of which have been agreed) and (iii) other customary closing conditions.
     The above description of the Asset Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
European Subsidiaries Share Purchase Agreements
      On August 5, 2009, MHE entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with F+F Publishing GmbH, a German limited liability company (“F+F”), whereby MHE intends to sell all of the shares of its wholly-owned German subsidiary, Midway Games GmbH (“MGG”) to F+F (the “F+F SPA”). Also on August 5, 2009, MHE entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Spiess Media Holding UG (Limited Liability), a German enterprise company with limited liability (“SMH”), whereby MHE intends to sell all of the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (i) Midway Games SAS, a company organized under the laws of France (“MGS”), and (ii) Midway Games Limited, an English limited liability private company (“MGL”), to SMH (the “SMH SPA,” together with the F+F SPA, the “Europe Purchase Agreements”). The aggregate purchase price for the shares of MGL and MGS shall be One Euro ( 1) allocated 50% towards the purchase of the shares of MGL and 50% towards the purchase of the shares of MGS. The purchase price for the shares of MGG shall be One Euro ( 1). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Europe Purchase Agreements, it is a condition of closing that at, or prior to, closing MHE and its affiliates enter into an Intercompany Agreement (the “Intercompany Agreement”) to resolve certain intercompany obligations so that there shall be no intercompany obligations outstanding among MGL, MGS, MGG and any of MHE or its affiliates at closing. The Intercompany Agreement will result in a payment of approximately One Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,700,000) from MGL to MHE at the closing of the transactions.
     The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Europe Purchase Agreements and the Intercompany Agreement are subject to entry of an order of the Court approving the proposed transactions and other customary closing conditions.
     SMH was formed by Martin Spiess for the purpose of purchasing the shares of MGL and MGS. Mr. Spiess is a named executive officer of the Registrant and has served as the Executive Vice President — International for MGL since April 2008. Prior to that, he served MGL as its Managing Director-Europe from May 2005 to April

 


 

2008. Mr. Spiess is also currently the President of MGS. F+F has been operated for several years by Uwe Fürstenberg and Hans Meyer, the sole shareholders of F+F. F+F and MGG conduct business with each other. Messrs. Fürstenberg and Meyer are current members of management of MGG. Mr. Fürstenberg is the current General Manager of MGG and has served in that capacity since February 2005 when MGG commenced operations. Mr. Meyer serves as Finance Director of MGG. Messrs. Spiess, Fürstenberg and Meyer will cease their employment relationship with the Registrant’s subsidiaries upon closing.
     The above descriptions of the Europe Purchase Agreements and Intercompany Agreement (attached as Schedule 7.2 to each of the F+F SPA and SMH SPA) are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms of the F+F SPA and the SMH SPA, attached hereto as Exhibits 2.2 and 2.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events
     On August 6, 2009, the Registrant and its United States subsidiaries (together with the Registrant, the “Debtors”) filed their monthly operating report for the period June 1, 2009 through and including June 30, 2009 (the “Monthly Operating Report”) with the Court. A copy of the Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. This current report (including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto) will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
     The Registrant cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any securities of the Registrant. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period, does not include information about non-U.S. subsidiaries, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Office of the United States Trustee. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, is in a format prescribed by applicable requirements of the Office of the United States Trustee, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the securities of the Registrant, the Monthly Operating Report contains any information beyond that required by the Office of the United States Trustee. The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Registrant’s reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such information might not be indicative of the Registrant’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Registrant’s financial statements or in reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
     This current report and Exhibit 99.1 contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements include, without limitation, the Registrant’s beliefs concerning future business conditions, outlook based on currently available information and statements regarding the Registrant’s expectations concerning the bankruptcy process. The Registrant’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties, include, without limitation, (1) the ability of the Registrant to develop, pursue, confirm and consummate one or more Chapter 11 plans of reorganization or liquidation with respect to the Debtors’ Chapter 11 cases; (2) the ability of the Registrant to obtain court approval of its motions in the Chapter 11 cases pursued by it from time to time; (3) risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining Court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period for the Registrant to propose and confirm one or more Chapter 11 plans, or the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee or to convert the cases to Chapter 7 cases; (4) potential adverse developments with respect to the Registrant’s liquidity or results of operations; (5) the ability of the Registrant to fund and execute its business plan; (6) the ability of the Registrant to retain and compensate key executives and other key employees; and (7) any further deterioration in the macroeconomic environment or consumer confidence. Discussion of additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations is set forth under “Item 1. Business” in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and in more recent filings made by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Each forward-looking statement, including, without limitation, financial guidance, speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the Registrant undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances, except as required by law.

           IT IS HEREBY FOUND AND DETERMINED:
          A. The Court has jurisdiction to consider the Sale Motion and the relief requested therein under 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. The Sale Motion is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A), (N) and (O). Venue is proper in the Court under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

          E. The Debtors have marketed the Purchased Assets diligently, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to secure the highest and/or best offer therefor.
          F. The terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement: (i) are fair and reasonable, (ii) valid, binding and enforceable, (iii) constitute the highest and best offer for the Purchased Assets, (iv) will provide a greater recovery for the Sellers’ creditors than would be provided by any other practical available alternative (v) constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the Purchased Assets and (vi) are in the best interests of the Sellers, their bankruptcy estates, creditors, and all parties in interest.

          G. The Purchaser is a good faith purchaser in accordance with section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code and, as such, is entitled to all of the protections afforded thereby.

3


 

          H. Neither the Sellers nor the Purchaser has engaged in any conduct that would cause or permit the application of section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code to the Sale, including having the Purchase Agreement voided.
           ACCORDINGLY, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS THAT:
          1. The Sale Motion is granted.
          2. Any objections to the Sale Motion or the relief requested therein that have not been withdrawn, waived or settled, and all reservations of rights included therein, are overruled on the merits. Parties who did not object, or who withdrew their objections to the Sale Motion, are deemed to have consented pursuant to section 363(f)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
          3. The Purchase Agreement and all of the terms and conditions contained therein are approved and are binding upon the parties thereto.
          4. The Debtors are authorized and directed, pursuant to sections 105(a) and 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, to perform all of their obligations pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and to execute such other documents and take such other actions as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
          5. The sale of the Purchased Assets, pursuant to this Order and the Purchase Agreement, will vest the Purchaser with good title to the Purchased Assets and will be a legal, valid and effective transfer of the Purchased Assets free and clear of all liens, claims, interests or other Encumbrances (collectively, “Liens”), with all such Liens to attach to the net proceeds of sale of the Purchased Assets in the order of their priority, and with the same validity, priority, force and effect which such holder has prior to the sale of the Purchased Assets, subject to the rights, claims, defenses, and objections, if any, of the Debtors and all parties in interest, pursuant to sections 105(a), 363(f), and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

4


 

          6. All persons or entities holding Liens in, to or against the Purchased Assets shall be, and they hereby are, forever barred from asserting such Liens against Purchaser and its successors and assigns, or against such Purchased Assets after Closing.
          7. Subject to and conditioned on the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to sections 105(a) and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Sellers’ assumption and assignment to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser’s assumption on the terms contained in the Purchase Agreement, of the Assumed Contracts is approved, and the requirements of section 365(b)(l) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect thereto, including without limitation that all Cure Amounts as determined by the Court have been paid or otherwise satisfied, are deemed satisfied.
          8. The Purchase Agreement and any related agreements, documents or other instruments may be modified, amended, or supplemented through a written document signed by the parties in accordance with the terms thereof without further order of the Court; provided , however , that any such modification, amendment or supplement is neither material nor changes the economic substance of the transactions contemplated hereby.
          9. Until these cases are closed or dismissed, the Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction (a) to enforce and implement the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement, all amendments thereto, and any waivers and consents thereunder; (b) to compel the Sellers and the Purchaser to perform all of their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement; (c) to resolve any disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to the Purchase Agreement; and (d) to interpret, implement and enforce the provisions of this Order.
          10. This Order shall be binding upon (i) the Debtors and their estates, (ii) all creditors of, and holders of equity interests in, any Debtor, (iii) all holders of Liens against or on

5


 

all or any portion of the Purchased Assets, (iv) the Purchaser, and (v) all successors and assigns of any of the foregoing, including any trustees that may be appointed in any of the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases.
          11. The failure to include any particular provision of the Purchase Agreement in this Order shall not diminish or impair the effectiveness of that provision, it being the intent of the Court and the parties that the Purchase Agreement be approved and authorized in its entirety.
          12. This Order constitutes a final order pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 158(a). As provided by Bankruptcy Rule 7062, this Order shall be effective and enforceable immediately. The provisions of Bankruptcy Rules 6004(g) and 6006(d) staying the effectiveness of this Order for ten (10) days are hereby waived. This Court has found that time is of the essence in closing the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the parties to the Purchase Agreement shall be authorized to close the sale as soon as possible consistent with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

General Notes:
1)   Cash balances may not be same as the bank statements or ledger balances as they do not reflect unavailable funds, outstanding checks and other timing differences.
 
2)   Included in the beginning cash balance were two restricted letters of credit at Midway Home Entertainment Inc. for $225,000 and at Midway Studios — Austin Inc. for $696,531.34.
 
3)   Disbursements reflect when the disbursement accounts are funded rather than when the item clears the bank.
 
4)   Timing of receipts and internal accounting can cause period-end discrepancies in respective intercompany reporting.
 
5)   Because there were no transfers to debtors in possession accounts or estate disbursements made by outside sources, the total disbursements line above will be used to calculate U.S. Trustee quarterly fees.
 
6)   U.S. Trustee quarterly fees are paid by Midway Games Inc. on behalf of each Debtor and expenses are allocated based on fees calculated for each Debtor.

NOTES:
GENERAL — In the ordinary course of business, individual Debtors may make payments to third parties on behalf of other Debtor entities. When this occurs, receivable and payable amounts are recorded at the paying and receiving entities, respectively, for the value of each such payment made. Amounts owed by Debtor entities to other Midway Games Inc. (MGI) subsidiaries are repaid in accordance with company policy. For example, all payroll-related payments are made to employees through Midway Home Entertainment Inc. (MHE) and the related expenses are reported by each employee’s legal entity; each legal entity with employees incurs a liability to MHE for the amounts paid. Also, no Insider Compensation expenses outside of the normal course of business were incurred during the period presented.
(1)   In performing the accounting for its day-to-day operations, MGI and its Debtor and non-Debtor affiliates allocate common expenses among MGI subsidiaries and capitalize qualifying product development expenses in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These adjustments and allocations are presented in a separate column in this report to facilitate analysis of each individual entity’s operating results in their respective columns and to show the results of the combined Debtor entities as a whole in the “Total of All Debtors” column.
 
(2)   The amount in the MHE column includes reductions in product development costs related to activities for which accruals had been previously recorded but were reversed in June 2009 due to the pending sale of certain of the Debtors’ assets.
 
(3)   Research and development expenses eligible for capitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP are reported in the MHE, Midway Amusement Games, LLC, Surreal Software Inc., MSA, and MSLA columns. In addition, one non-Debtor entity records these types of expenses, which are not included in this report. The capitalization of research and development expenses for all entities is reported in the Adjustments and Allocations column. In June 2009, the amount in the MSLA column includes reductions in the accrual for relocation amounts payable recorded during the period, based on activity occurring in the normal course of business.
 
(4)   Professional Fees, which are paid by MGI, are recorded as expense when incurred. All of these fees represent accruals and have not been paid as of June 30, 2009. No allocation of the benefits of such fees has been made to any other Debtor or non-Debtor entities. In addition to the amounts reported in this line item, $763,426.65 in fees have been submitted to the court for approval but payment has not yet been authorized.
 
(5)   U.S. Trustee Quarterly Fees are estimated and are expected to be invoiced and paid in July 2009 for the period from April-June 2009.

In re:   Case No. 09-10465(KG)
Midway Games Inc., et al.,   Jointly Administered
Debtors   Reporting Period: 6/1/09 to 6/30/09
MOR-3: BALANCE SHEETS
JUNE 30, 2009
NOTES:
GENERAL — In the ordinary course of business, individual Debtors may make payments to third parties on behalf of other Debtor entities. When this occurs, receivable and payable amounts are recorded at the paying and receiving entities, respectively, for the value of each such payment made. Amounts owed by Debtor entities to other Midway Games Inc. (MGI) subsidiaries are repaid in accordance with company policy. For example, all payroll-related payments are made to employees through Midway Home Entertainment Inc. (MHE) and the related employee’s legal entity; each legal entity with employees incurs a liability to MHE for the amounts paid.
(1)   Each individual entity’s balances are presented in their respective columns; this “Total of All Debtors” column is provided to show the balances of the combined Debtor entities as a whole for information purposes only.
 
(2)   Cash totaling $2,153,631.44 required to fund payroll and related costs paid on July 2, 2009 was transferred on June 30, 2009 from Midway Amusement Games, LLC’s (MAG) bank account to Ceridian, the Debtors’ payroll processor, but was still included in MAG’s book balance as of June 30, 2009.
 
(3)   Goodwill was recorded by certain entities at the time they were acquired by MGI and is reported at each of these entities. Under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), these amounts are presented in MGI’s reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission and tested for impairment as a single reporting unit.
 
(4)   Investment in subsidiaries represent amounts invested by certain MGI subsidiaries in other MGI subsidiaries. Negative amounts are reported in this line item by the investee subsidiary to represent the amounts invested in that subsidiary.
 
(5)   Insiders are defined as directors and officers of any Debtor entities or non-Debtor MGI subsidiaries. There were no amounts due to Insiders outside of the normal course of business as of June 30, 2009.
 
(6)   Accrued compensation and related benefits exclude amounts owed as of the petition date for paid time off, severance, relocation and supplemental insurance; these amounts are included in the Pre-petition Liabilities section. Certain amounts have been paid post-petition related to these pre-petition amounts owed. The accruals for paid time off fluctuate based on employees’ usage of paid time off earned. Also, the amount reported by Midway Studios — Los Angeles represents relocation amounts owed that are reported as pre-petition liabilities by MHE, as the employees affected were as of the petition date, and continue to be, employees of MHE. Accrued compensation and related benefits reported by MHE have been reduced by this amount as a result.
 
(7)   Included in the June 30, 2009 balances at MHE, Midway Amusement Games, LLC, Surreal Software Inc. and MGI were entries recorded to reflect payment of payroll taxes; however, the related liabilities were not recorded until July 2009 due to the timing of funding the payroll-related payments made on July 2, 2009. Therefore, these entities had debit payroll taxes payable balances as of June 30, 2009.
 
(8)   Pre-petition liabilities as of the current balance sheet date include post-petition amounts paid or applied, pursuant to Bankruptcy Court orders, to claims previously reported as of the petition date in the Schedules of Assets and Liabilities.

MOR-4: DECLARATION REGARDING THE STATUS OF POSTPETITION TAXES
FOR THE REPORTING PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2009
Ryan G. O’Desky hereby declares and states:
1. I am Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer for Midway Games Inc. and its affiliated debtors and debtors in possession (the “Debtors”) in Case No. 09-10465 et seq. (KG) (Jointly Administered). I am familiar with the Debtors’ day-to-day operations, business affairs and books and records.
2. All statements in this Declaration are based on personal knowledge, review of the relevant documents, discussions with other employees of the Debtors, or my opinion based upon my experience and knowledge of the Debtors’ operations and financial condition. I am authorized to submit this Declaration on behalf of the Debtors.
3. To the best of my knowledge, information, and belief, during the reporting period the Debtors filed all necessary federal, state, and local tax returns and made all required and undisputed postpetition tax payments in connection therewith on a timely basis or, the Debtors have promptly addressed any late tax filings (and made any corresponding payments) that may have been missed during the reporting period due to unintentional oversight. 1
         
     
8/4/09  /s/ Ryan G. O’Desky    
Date  Ryan G. O’Desky   
Chicago, Illinois  Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer    
 
 
1   The Debtors use Ceridian, a third party payroll processor, for the remittance of payroll taxes. Ceridian is responsible for remitting both the employee and employer portion of payroll tax liabilities to the appropriate jurisdictions. Moreover, by first day orders entered by the Court on February 13, 2009, the Debtors received authority to pay certain prepetition payroll and “trust fund” taxes.
