This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) is being filed jointly by Jackson Investment Group, LLC (“JIG LLC”) and Richard L. Jackson and amends the statement on the Schedule 13D that was originally filed jointly by JIG LLC and Richard L. Jackson with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 7, 2017 and was amended on March 23, 2017, April 7, 2017 and August 8, 2017 (the “Statement”), with respect to the common stock, par value $0.00001, of Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc.

Item 3 of the Statement is hereby further amended to add the following paragraphs:

 

On September 1, 2017, JIG LLC acquired a $515,000 subordinated secured note of the Company (the “September 1, 2017 Note”).

The maturity date for the amounts due under the Secured JIG Note is September 15, 2020.

The Secured JIG Note is more fully described in Items 3 and 6. For its commitment to acquire the Company’s Secured JIG Note, JIG LLC received 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock at the closing on September 18, 2017.

 

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 of the Statement is hereby further amended to add the following paragraphs:

 

The responses to Items 3 and 5 and Exhibits 1 through 2 are incorporated herein.

 

On September 1, 2017, JIG LLC entered into an additional financing transaction pursuant to a Third Omnibus Amendment and Reaffirmation Agreement, dated September 1, 2017 (the “Third Omnibus Agreement”) by and among JIG LLC, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The form of the Third Omnibus Agreement is Exhibit 3 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On September 1, 2017 in accordance with the terms of the Third Omnibus Agreement, the Company issued to JIG LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $515,000, the September 1, 2017 Note in the aggregate principal amount of $515,000 which accrues interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum and has a maturity date of October 2, 2017. The Subsidiary Guarantors guaranteed to JIG LLC the prompt payment of the obligations of the Company owed to JIG LLC under the Third Omnibus Agreement, including the repayment of the September 1, 2017 Note.

 

On September 15, 2017, the Company, as borrower, and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into an Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement with JIG LLC, as lender (the “A&R Note Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which JIG LLC made a senior debt investment of $40 million in the Company in exchange for the Secured JIG Note in the principal amount of $40 million. The proceeds of the sale of the Secured JIG Note were used to (1) repay the Prior JIG Notes (which include the September 1, 2017 Note) in the aggregate principal amount of $11,165,000, (2) repay certain other outstanding indebtedness of the Company and (3) fund a portion of the purchase price consideration of two separate acquisitions by affiliates of the Company: (a) an acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Firstpro Inc. (“FPI”), Firstpro Georgia, LLC (“FPL”, and together with FPI, the “Sellers”) pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated September 14, 2017, by and among Staffing 360 Georgia, LLC (“Staffing Georgia”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Sellers and certain individuals (the “Firstpro Transaction”); and (b) an acquisition of all of the outstanding stock and stock options of CBS Butler Holdings Limited (“CBS Butler”) by Longbridge Recruitment 360 Limited (“Longbridge”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to that certain Agreement to Buy the Shares in CBS Butler Holdings Limited (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), dated September 15, 2017, by and among Longbridge, the Company and the CBS Butler stockholders as well as those certain agreements (the “Option Purchase Agreements”) with each holder of outstanding options of CBS Butler (the “CBS Butler Transaction”).

 

The maturity date for the amounts due under the Secured JIG Note is September 15, 2020. The Secured JIG Note will accrue interest at 12% per annum, due quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 in each year, with the first such payment due on January 1, 2018. Interest on any overdue payment of principal or interest due under the Secured JIG Note will accrue at a rate per annum that is 5% in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable thereunder. Neither the principal amount nor the interest on the principal amount of the Secured JIG Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company may prepay the amounts due on the Secured JIG Note in whole or in part from time to time, without penalty or premium, subject to the conditions set forth in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, and such prepayments, depending on the timing of the prepayments, may result in a discount on the principal amount to be prepaid as set forth in the A&R Note Purchase Agreement.

 

The Company paid a closing fee of $1,000,000 in connection with its entry into the A&R Note Purchase Agreement and agreed to issue 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as a closing commitment fee (the “September 2017 Commitment Fee Shares”). The September 2017 Commitment Fee Shares are subject to registration rights in favor of JIG LLC and will be included in a resale registration statement which must be filed by the Company with the Commission no later than October 30, 2017.

 

The obligations of the Company under the Secured JIG Note are secured by liens on and security interests in substantially all of the personal property (other than accounts receivable) of the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Borrowers”), pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below).

 

The A&R Note Purchase Agreement also contains restrictions against incurrence of additional debt, payment of dividends or other distributions (whether in cash, securities or other property) on any equity interest of the Company, repayment of debt, consolidations, mergers, sales of assets or a change in control, and contains financial covenants.

 

The foregoing description of the A&R Note Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

In connection with JIG LLC’s entry into the A&R Note Purchase Agreement, on September 15, 2017, JIG LLC, MidCap Funding X Trust, as successor-by-assignment to Midcap Financial Trust (“Midcap”), the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), setting forth the relative rights and priorities of (a) the lenders under an existing revolving loan facility with Midcap pursuant to that certain Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2015, as amended between Midcap and Borrowers (the “Credit Agreement”) and (b) JIG LLC, in the common collateral securing the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Secured JIG Note. Pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, the lien that secures the Borrowers’ obligations under the Credit Agreement has priority in certain collateral, including all accounts, cash, certain deposit accounts, and proceeds from such collateral, and the lien that secures the obligations under the Secured JIG Note has priority in certain deposit accounts and all equity interests of any subsidiaries of the Company and all intercompany notes issued or payable to the Company or its subsidiaries party to the Credit Agreement or the A&R Note Purchase Agreement pledged as security to secure the obligations under the Secured JIG Note.

 

The foregoing description of the lntercreditor Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Intercreditor Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 5 and incorporated herein by reference.
