This figure is based on 4,682,620 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of RLJ Entertainment, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”), held indirectly through Digital Entertainment Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DEH”), plus (i) 2,893,693 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the conversion of all of the shares of Series D-1 preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of the Issuer held indirectly through DEH, (ii) 18,333,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the exercise in full of Class A, Class B and Class C warrants to purchase Common Stock with an initial exercise date of October 14, 2016 (the “Warrants”) held indirectly through DEH and (iii) 747,945 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the exercise in full of the warrants to purchase Common Stock with an initial exercise date of May 20, 2015 (the “2015 Warrants”) held indirectly through DEH.

(2)

Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons may be deemed to be a member of a “group” under Rule 13d-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with Robert L. Johnson, The RLJ Companies, LLC and RLJ SPAC Acquisition, LLC (“RLJ SPAC”, and collectively with Robert L. Johnson and The RLJ Companies, LLC, the “Johnson Entities”) with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer. As disclosed in Amendment No. 12 to the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D with respect to the Issuer filed by the Johnson Entities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 30, 2018 (the “Johnson Schedule 13D”), the Johnson Entities may be deemed to beneficially own 8,294,465 shares of Common Stock, including 6,794,465 outstanding shares of Common Stock and 2015 Warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock at $3.00 per share. Each Reporting Person and Covered Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock and other securities held by the Johnson Entities pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Exchange Act, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such Reporting Person or Covered Person is the beneficial owner of the Common Stock or other securities held by the Johnson Entities.

(3)

This calculation is based on 15,614,607 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of August 2, 2018 as disclosed in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on August 9, 2018 (the “Form 10-Q”), plus (i) the 2,893,693 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion in full of the Preferred Stock as described in note 1, (ii) the 18,333,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of the Warrants as described in note 1 and (iii) the 747,945 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of the 2015 Warrants as described in note 1. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act, this calculation does not include shares of Common Stock not outstanding which are subject to options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges held by parties other than the Reporting Persons. As disclosed in the Form 10-Q and in information provided by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons, and accounting for the recent purchase by the Reporting Persons of 2015 Warrants and shares of Preferred Stock from third parties, third parties (including the Johnson Entities) hold 6,516.45 shares of Preferred Stock convertible into approximately 3.1 million shares of Common Stock and 2015 Warrants to purchase 2.35 million shares of Common Stock. Assuming the conversion of all Preferred Stock and the exercise of all 2015 Warrants held by third parties (including the Johnson Entities), the Common Stock underlying the Warrants held directly by DEH, if fully exercised, would represent in the aggregate no less than 50.1% of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.

Assuming the conversion of all Preferred Stock and the exercise of all 2015 Warrants held by third parties (including the Johnson Entities), the Common Stock underlying the Warrants held directly by DEH, if fully exercised, would represent in the aggregate no less than 50.1% of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)

As of August 10, 2018, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 4,682,620 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by DEH, plus (i) 2,893,693 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the conversion of all of the shares of Preferred Stock of the Issuer held by DEH, (ii) 18,333,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the exercise in full of the Warrants held by DEH and (iii) 747,945 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable upon the exercise in full of the 2015 Warrants held by DEH, which represents in the aggregate 70.92% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding based on 15,614,607 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of August 2, 2018 as disclosed in the Form 10-Q, plus (i) the 2,893,693 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion in full of the Preferred Stock, (ii) the 18,333,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of the Warrants and (iii) the 747,945 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of the 2015 Warrants. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act, this calculation does not include shares of Common Stock not outstanding which are subject to options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges held by parties other than the Reporting Persons. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act, this calculation does not include shares of Common Stock not outstanding which are subject to options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges held by parties other than the Reporting Persons. As disclosed in the Form 10-Q and in information provided by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons, and accounting for the recent purchase by the Reporting Persons of 2015 Warrants and shares of Preferred Stock from third parties, third parties (including the Johnson Entities) hold 6,516.45 shares of Preferred Stock convertible into approximately 3.1 million shares of Common Stock and 2015 Warrants to purchase 2.35 million shares of Common Stock. Assuming the conversion of all Preferred Stock and the exercise of all 2015 Warrants held by third parties (including the Johnson Entities), the Common Stock underlying the Warrants held directly by DEH, if fully exercised, would represent in the aggregate no less than 50.1% of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.

To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the Covered Persons directly owns any shares of Common Stock as of August 10, 2018; provided, however, that because of each Covered Person’s status as a controlling stockholder, director or executive officer of a Reporting Person, a Covered Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person. Each of the Covered Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock reported herein pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such Covered Person is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons may be deemed to be a member of a “group” under Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act with the Johnson Entities with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer. As disclosed in the Johnson Schedule 13D, the Johnson Entities may be deemed to beneficially own 8,294,465 shares of Common Stock, including 6,794,465 outstanding shares of Common Stock and 2015 Warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock at $3.00 per share. Each Reporting Person and Covered Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock and other securities held by the Johnson Entities pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Exchange Act, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such Reporting Person or Covered Person is the beneficial owner of the Common Stock or other securities held by the Johnson Entities.

 

(b)

The responses of the Reporting Persons to (i) Rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and (ii) Item 5(a) of this Item 5 are incorporated into this Item 5(b) by reference. Each of the Reporting Persons has shared power to vote, or direct the vote, and shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition, with respect to the shares of Common Stock reported for such Reporting Person.

 

(c)

Except for the transactions described in Item 3 and Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, which are incorporated into this Item 5(c) by reference, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to their knowledge, any of the Covered Persons, has effected any transactions in Common Stock of the Issuer during the past 60 days.

 

(d)

No other person is known to the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock covered by this statement on Schedule 13D.
